Chapter 5: The Start Of A New Day-Gwen & Rhys
Gwen awoke to the sound of whistling, more specifically Rhys whistling, what?! Rhys was never awake at this time.
"Rhys? Is that you?" Gwen asked, after grabbing a robe and wrapping it around her.
"No Gwen, it's the Evil Breakfast Burglar, be careful, he makes you breakfast then burgles you."
Gwen shook her head, at the use of Rhys' sarcasm.
"Very funny Rays!"
"Morning love." Rhys was in a cheery mood, considering where Gwen was going to work today... Torchwood. Mmm... how strange.
"Rhys are you alright?" Gwen asked as she walked into the living room.
"Yeh, course I am, why wouldn't I be? I've not grown another head have I?"
Gwen looked at him, puzzled. "What?!"
Rhys breathed a mock sigh of relief, "Gotta check now a days, don't I?"
He started giggling.
"Rhys! You daft arse!" Gwen giggled. "Then why are you so cheery when I'm still working at Torchwood?"
Rhys looked up from the slices of bacon, eggs & sausages in the pan and said,
"Gwen, I don't like you working at Torchwood cos the thought of Jack coming round here saying that you're dead scares me, but all the good things you do by working there, that's why I let you go. If it was just a crap job, then..." Gwen hushed him,
"Thank you!"
"What for?"
Gwen walked up to Rhys, put her arms round him and said, "Everything!"
Then she kissed him.
"Are we going to eat, Rhys?"
"Yeh sure."
Rhys handed her a plate and put on it, a couple of slices of bacon, 2 sausages and two eggs. He then began to make two cops of tea. They finished their breakfasts & Gwen went to have a shower before work. Rhys was on the phone by the time she had finished in the shower. He put the phone down, saw Gwen standing there and said,
"They want me to work late love."
Gwen just looked at the floor, Rhys walked over to her, lifted up her chin and said,
"Sorry."
Gwen didn't want Rhys to feel guilty, after all it wasn't his fault, so instead she just
kissed him.
"I'm just having a shower love."
Gwen kissed him again, "I'll see you later then Rhys."
Gwen grabbed her coat.
"Bye Rhys." Gwen called from the hallway.
"Bye Gwen."
Then the front door closed. Rhys turned on the radio and sung along for a bit.
