Chapter 30: Work or Play?

Amy had only meant to rest on her bed, but she had fallen asleep with her cell in her hand. As she rolled over, it fell to the floor and bounced under the bed.

A couple of hours later it began to ring and she sat up breathing heavily, as if she had awoken from a nightmare. She took a moment to get her bearings, and then realised that it was her phone thatwas ringing.

Frantically she began searching for it, finally reaching under the bed wrapping her fingers around the offending piece of technology.

"Hello, David, sorry." She answered breathlessly.

"Hey, you alright?"

"Yes, sorry, I woke up and it took a minute to figure out where I was."

"Ok. Well I spoke with him. It took a while, but I think he is fine with us now. I'm glad I went round though. He was really upset."

"Thank you for that."

"It's nothing, I would do anything to keep you happy."

"Hmmm... I will have to think about that...could work to my advantage."

David laughed. "I love you."

"I love you too." Amy sighed.

"What's up?" David asked concerned.

"Nothing, just I miss you."

"I miss you too."

"Are you busy tomorrow?"

"Pretty much, I have a lot of paper work I need to do."

"Oh."

"What about you?"

"No. I don't have anything to do. I have been given leave for a while."

"Lucky you."

"Do you want some help?"

"I don't know."

"What do you mean you don't know?" Amy frowned.

"I don't think I would get any work done with a beautiful lady sitting near me."

"I'll stand then."

David groaned. "That could almost be worse."

Amy chuckled.

"Stop it! You can help, I'll be working at home anyway, so we won't have to worry about being seen."

"Are you ashamed of me?"

"What? Oh... no, it's just if you are meant to be on leave, then you shouldn't be walking around the Courthouse... should you!"

"True." Amy smiled. "So, how hard to we have to work, and will there be time to play?" She almost purred the words, and David found it hard to form words.

"Stop woman!" He managed to croak out, causing Amy to laugh.

"I guess I will say goodbye then."

"Wait, no, I..."

"Goodnight David." She purred her voice husky. "I love you." She hung up and began giggling. Having to use her pillow to muffle the sounds.

Meanwhile, David had dropped his phone on the bed and was heading into the bathroom to have avery, very cold shower.

The next morning Amy woke up smiling. Memories of the night befores conversation swept through her mind causing her to laugh out.

"Amy, I was woken by your laughter last night, and now I wake to find you laughing again. And you are alone. What could you possibly find, that can be that funny?"

"Ma!" She laughed again. "I was on the phone with David last night. I... chose my words carefully... which, I am sure were... torture." She laughed again.

"I see you are back to your old tricks then?" Amy sobered up, taking the comment seriously. She had still not forgiven her mother, but this was not helping the process. "I didn't mean..."

"The problem is not what you said Ma, it's that you say it, and then try and pretend you didn't mean it. At least admit to your feelings."

"I will when you do."

"I am nothing like you. Don't even try and say that I am!" Maxine's lips thinned and she backed out of the room.

The happiness that Amy had awoken to was gone, and she was left in a bad mood.

David had had a fitfull nights sleep.

Not unpleasant as such, but haunting. Amy or rather her vision, had stayed with him, and not allowed him to forget her words easily.

He groaned again as he sat up. "I am doomed to an eternity of cold showers."

Amy arrived at David's a little after nine and rang the doorbell. He took his time answering, as he had only just gotten out of the shower, it had been his second one that morning, and so far he hadn't even picked up his bag of work, let alone start anything.

"You took your time." Amy smiled as she walked past him, hanging her jacket up.

"Yes well, I will blame that on you."

"How is it my fault?" A look of pure innocense upon her face.

"I have had two cold showers this morning and that is nothing compared to last night!"

"You know I could help you with that... problem." She stepped forward and rubbed her hips with his.

"Amy! We have work to do. We... ungh... we have to, to, to work first."

"Uhuh." Moving a hand to caress him.

"Play," he cleared his throat. "play later." He groaned again. "Later. I... ungh... sod it!" He lifted her chin and lowered his lips to hers. Only to be stopped by a hand in front of her face.

"No, no, you are right. Work first." She stepped back, "Play later." and turned to walk around.

"Oh no you don't." David grabbed her and brought her against the door. "I believe you mentioned to me once, that you always finished what you started."

"That is true." Amy's eyes were dancing in amusement. "But, it is also true that we can finish this later." She tried to move her arms but found them pinned above her head by one of David's large hands. "David! Let me go. We have work to do."

"Later." He kissed her softly on the lips before he moved to her neck.

"David... stop it!" But her moan betrayed her true reaction to what he was doing.

"I believe we will stick to the unconventional and play first." Amy wrapped her legs around him as he began to grind his hips into her.

Letting her realise just how much play he meant.

AN: Am I cruel to end it here? Yes? Well, I am afraid that it is the end of my free period at school and work (sigh) awaits me, off to English Lit I go.

Lovely big hugs to those who review!
