So finally I got chapter 2 up!

RPOV – Rob's point of view

KPOV - Kate's point of view

Wednesday

RPOV

I must have been drunk or something I concluded glumly, munching on a bowl of Frosties. Why the hell would I invite a random stranger to stay in my house for a week? I wondered knowing that in a couple of days we've got a gig in Ibiza, and I don't feel like leaving someone I don't know in my house on their own. Plus I've got to get this damn EP finished.

I looked at the clock – just after 9 AM. I'd literally just got up, showered, dressed, and come down stairs, feeding Judas just a few minutes ago.

Hearing a thump upstairs I guessed Kate was up.

KPOV

I was stuck in that half asleep half-awake area of consciousness, and all I could think was of how this bed is just sooo comfy. I rolled to the right and quickly realised that the bed didn't go on that far, and hit the floor with a thump.

I groaned in frustration, I always did this – even at home.

I soon recovered and stepped outside of my room still in my pyjamas – shorts and a cami. Trying to find the bathroom I started with the door in front of me. It opened to show some kind of study, but with keyboards everywhere. The next room was some kind of spare – a few boxes, a pair of black boots, and an old pc. My third choice revealed the room I was looking for – the bathroom. I quickly jumped in the shower then got dressed and headed down stairs.

As I got down the stairs and rounded the door I saw Rob sat at the island in the middle of his kitchen.

He was dressed in a black button down shirt with its long sleeves rolled up just past the elbow. Aww, so much arm hair I thought and quickly grabbed the box of cereal by the side of him and made my own breakfast.

Kate you've got to stop thinking these things I mentally told myself, it's not helping anything.

'Morning' I said. He grunted in reply, too focused on his own cereal.

'So what are you doing today?' I asked him. I was going to get a conversation out of him, even if he was sort of moody this morning.

'Probably just working on the EP or somethin'' he mumbled.

'Cool, well I'm going to go shopping and have a look round London for a bit.' I said, sitting down opposite him with my food.

As soon as I began to eat Judas immediately jumped up onto the island next to me. I looked down at him and stroked him causing him to begin purring. I could feel Rob's eyes on me but I didn't pay him any attention.

RPOV

I couldn't tell if she knew I was staring but I did it anyway. Judas had surprised me, he doesn't easily take to strangers, preferring to keep to himself. A bit like me I mused. It had taken a lot of treats for him to even go near Gareth. Speaking of I thought, I said 'I'm going upstairs to finish some tracks, Gareth will be over in a bit.' Dumping my bowl in the sink I quickly headed for the stairs, not knowing how to feel about her. I felt happier that there was someone else in the house apart from me but then I don't think I really got on with many girls that much. I seem to say the wrong things a lot of the time.

KPOV

His mood swing didn't really faze me since he had always seemed to come across a bit moody when he was singing or in an interview. Instead I took my own bowl to the sink and did the washing up, which I don't normally do but I thought I might as well, since he was putting me up.

I grabbed my jacket off the back of the sofa and headed for the door, intending to do some shopping. I was just about to grab the handle when there was a knock.

I furrowed my brow but opened to door to show a man dressed all in black, with a cap on his head. Gareth Mcgrillen I realised.

He paused for a minute before asking, 'Who're you?'

'I'm Kate.' I said sticking out my hand, which he shook with his fingerless gloves.

He looked like he was ready to ask a million questions but I just said, 'Rob's upstairs.' Sticking out my thumb behind me.

'Cool.' Was all he had a chance to say before I walked past him and down the drive.

RPOV

I'd just switched the computer on when I heard someone thumping up the stairs. There was a knock on the door but I pretended I couldn't hear it, I'd just left her downstairs.

The door opened not to show Kate but Gareth instead which brought a small smile to my lips.

'Hey man.' He said walking in and sitting down on the other computer chair.

I looked at him and he looked sort of confused, 'You know some random girl just walked out of your house.' He said.

I just continued to look at him as if to say you don't say?

'What? Was it a one night stand?' Gareth asked me and I cringed at his strange sense of humour.

'You wish, don't you remember what happened last time?' I told him and we both laughed then. I then proceeded to tell him all about the Judas incident. Strangely he didn't seem very shocked. 'But I'd like to know how she knew where I live.' I finished sighing thoughtfully.

After a few seconds he replied, 'Guess we can ask her when she gets back.' As to which Rob grunted in reply and began to log on to his computer.

Eventually the door banged again signalling that Kate was back.

'I think I need some coffee or something.' Gareth told me pulling off my headphones.

'Yeah, sure.' I replied too annoyed with this damn computer to pay much attention.

KPOV

Closing the door behind me I lugged my bags up to my room. Finally dumping them inside I turned around to bump straight into Gareth.

'Oh, uh, hey.' I stammered causing him to smirk.

'You know you could have told me you were coming up.' He said. Me and Gareth have been friends for a while, I'd met him when he was doing some Pendulum show at a festival and he'd eaten something funny and started spewing his guts up. Since nobody else was around – and because I was a massive fan – I'd helped him get it all out then offered him a tissue and some bottled water. After a while we'd started talking on Facebook/twitter and he'd told me where Rob lived, but I don't think he'd expected me to be up here today.

'Surprise.' I told him and started to walk downstairs with him following behind me. As we rounded the corner and entered the kitchen I turned to face him. 'Anyway it's good to finally meet you again.'

'And you, although I didn't remember your face at first.' He replied, starting to snoop around the kitchen, looking in the cupboards.

'What are you looking for?' I asked him.

Gareth stopped to give me a look. 'Your dinner, he talks most when he's eating.'

'Ha, so he talks then. I thought he just mumbled.' I said sarcastically.

He just snorted. It was obvious he didn't know how to put together a meal. 'Hey let me do it.' I told him, smiling as to which he smiled back and replied 'It's all yours.'

'Does he like anything in particular?' I questioned, pulling out various items of food.

'Cheese.' Was his only response.

'Cheese?'

Chuckling softly he said 'As long as it has cheese.'

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It was now just after 7 and dinner had actually worked. Gareth had gone about an hour ago.

Right now I'd splayed myself out on the couch painting my nails and waiting for a Russell Howard's Good News re-run to come on.

Suddenly I felt my feet being picked up and I looked down the couch to see Rob sitting down then putting my legs back in his lap.

NOPOV

'Hey.' He mumbled. While upstairs Gareth had also mentioned that he should give Kate a chance. A chance for what he had no idea but he sounded like he meant it so there was no harm in trying to be friends.

Kate rolled over onto her back, now finished painting her fingernails, and looked at Rob. 'Hey.' She returned back, shaking out her hands to try and dry them off so she could start on her toes.

Rob looked at the TV remote now resting on her stomach. 'Anything interesting on?' he asked.

'Russell Howard.'

He groaned and threw his head back. He was about to say something when the kitchen door opened and Judas walked in. He came to the bottom of the couch and looked up expectantly, then jumped on to Kate's stomach sitting on the remote and curling into a ball.

'I guess that decides it then.' Rob chuckled along with Katie.

Kate sighed 'So much for doing my toenails.'

He looked down for a moment then, 'Pass the varnish.'

'Are you sure you know how to paint nails?' Kate asked but she gave it to him anyway.

'It beats watching a load of recorded laughs.'

As he set to work Kate found it rather relaxing. The rhythmic strokes were slowly lulling her in to a sleep. A couple of times she had to jerk herself awake making Rob smirk.

'Tired?' he teased, finished painting.

'That's what shopping does to you.' She replied.

Kate looked down at her feet and wriggled her toes, they did look rather good.

They didn't speak much for a while, just content to sit there together. Eventually Rob could feel his eyes getting heavy but he didn't want to go upstairs to bed yet. Gareth was right he mused, Kate seemed okay.

After a few minutes of uncomfortable shifting he looked down at Kate who had dosed off.

'Budge up a bit.' He half whispered but still woke Kate up.

'Huh?' she replied sleepily looking at him through half closed eyes as he lay down by the side of her, in between the couch and her.

Judas must have had enough movement because he huffed and jumped off Kate.

At that point they both fell asleep, Rob on his side and Kate on her back.

Kate was the first to reawaken. The sofa was comfy but not enough to sleep on it with someone else.

Kate looked back and found out they were spooned together with his large hand holding her hip. His face was completely relaxed in his sleep with his black hair scruffed up a bit.

Since he was still asleep she turned back to face the TV waking Rob up without realising it. Looking at the telly at first she could work out what was on, then she realised it was some kind of film.

Rob was looking at the TV too and he could remember watching this movie but not what it was called.

In the film there was a girl lying in a bed under a sheet, she had long brown hair and brown eyes. A tall man walked in and as she sat up it revealed that she was naked. The guy just had a bath towel on. The actors quickly got into bed together and they began sensually kissing and touching – it was at this point Kate realised that this was a sex scene.

Rob breathed out slowly and unconsciously tightened his grip on Kate's hip alerting her to his wakefulness. He could feel himself getting hard and in these jeans and spooned this close to Kate, he knew it wouldn't be long before she noticed.

Kate had noticed and was trying to keep her own composure while the film played on. She watched, fascinated, as the man on the screen thrusted himself in the actress who was moaning loudly. Kate found herself getting aroused and pushed herself backwards so her ass was pressed against his raging hard on. Rob couldn't help himself as he groaned and pulled Kate closer so she was flushed against him.

Rob buried his face in the crook of Kate's neck and tried to breathe deeply, he was really turned on just listening to the film.

Maybe unfortunately, Kate couldn't say, the sex scene was quickly over and she realised just how they were actually lying together. She soon got embarrassed because she'd never really been in a situation like this.

Mumbling some excuse (she couldn't even remember what she said), Kate darted out the living room and up the stairs leaving a rather bewildered Rob.

What the hell was that? Rob thought, looking in the direction of the stairs. He sighed and got up, deciding a cold shower would probably help.

Crawling in to bed Kate couldn't stop thinking about what had been happening. She was still turned on just by the thought of it, after all she had been crushing on him for ages. I guess I'll just sort it out in the morning, Kate thought, finally lulling herself into a deep sleep.

A/N I do actually like Russell Howard's show, btw, I just felt like adding that in.

Review and I'll post chapter 3!
