Chapter 5: Sweet Unity
By the time they had finished their stroll round the parts of Hampstead Heath that meant so much to Cassie, it was about five thirty. Sid began to feel hungry despite having had a meal at midday.
"Cass." said Sid, "I know I had lunch with Maxxie, but I'm beginning to feel hungry again. What about you?"
"I grabbed a few bites at lunchtime." said Cassie, "It would be nice to have an early dinner with you. Where are you going to take me?"
"I'll leave that to you, Cass." said Sid, "You must know a few places round here."
"I'll take you to a nice lively pub where we can get a meal." said Cassie, "They serve food and we can spend a quiet hour or so there. If there's time after that, we'll go back to my little place for something warm and soothing."
"I like the sound of that." said Sid.
Sid and Cassie made their way from the heath and into Hampstead Village, found the pub and settled down to their first meal together for two years.
"You look as you're enjoying that." commented Sid.
"I am." said Cassie, "I'm beginning to believe that I'm heading for a sweet future at last."
After they had eaten, they made their way to Cassie's bed-sit. They both removed their shoes. Cassie made sure that Sid was comfortable on the sofa and went to the kitchen. She returned with two mugs of hot chocolate and put them on the coffee table. Once she had done this, much to Sid's astonishment, she removed her skirt, her cardigan and her t-shirt and sat down on Sid's left.
"Cass!?" exclaimed Sid, as she stripped off her t-shirt, revealing her slender shoulders and elegant midriff, "What are you doing?"
"It's warm in here." said Cassie, "I usually strip off when I get in. I feel more comfortable without clothes. I haven't embarrassed you, have I? Don't forget that I usually wandered round Chris's flat in just my underwear, or even less. You loved it!"
"I'm not embarrassed." said Sid, "You just startled me a bit. I was wondering how far you were going to go, but it is lovely to see so much of your skin. You're still beautiful"
"Thank you, Sid." said Cassie, "That was such a sweet thing to say."
"Anyway, thanks for the hot chocolate." said Sid.
While they were drinking, they discussed some practical aspects of Cassie's move to Bristol, such as where she would find work and how much space she would need for her clothes and other bits and pieces. Sid could not resist the temptation to caress Cassie's bare shoulders and back. It was obvious that she liked this attention.
"That feels so nice." said Cassie, "I've missed the feel of your gentle hand caressing me."
"I love the feel of your skin." said Sid, as his fingers explored her left shoulder blade.
"It is warm in here." he continued, "How do you sleep?"
"In the late evening, I listen to relaxing music on headphones while looking out of the window and daydreaming." said Cassie, "After a while I begin to feel sleepy. Then I go to bed."
"Where do your daydreams take you?" asked Sid.
"More often than I care to admit," said Cassie, "I imagine I'm a bird and fly up over the rooftops. When I do this, I am impelled to fly really high and head west towards Bristol. What do you think that means?"
"I don't know." said Sid. "I would guess hopefully, that some part of your mind might have been thinking about me. I wish you'd acted on that daydream, Cass. Our heartbreak would have ended so much sooner."
"As I said, I was trying to keep to that silly promise not to look for you," said Cassie, "but I've really missed being with you; being loved by you. I want you so much, Sid."
As Cassie said this, she snuggled up against Sid. When she did this, he placed his now empty mug on the coffee table, continued gently stroking her bare shoulders and kissed her cheek. As he slid his hand across the top of her back, enjoying the feel of her exquisitely smooth skin, he pushed her bra strap off her left shoulder. He also caressed the whole length of her right thigh with his other hand, going right up to her pussy, which he stroked through her panties. She wriggled a bit and smiled.
"You're getting a bit frisky," remarked Cassie, "but that did feel good."
"I've missed the feel of having you close to me, Cass." said Sid, "You're so smooth, and your legs are beautiful. I can't believe that you hated your thighs."
She responded by putting her mug down, turning towards him and kissing him properly. As she did this, she put her hands down to the small of his back, pulled the back of his t-shirt up and caressed his bare skin. When he disengaged his embrace, she removed his t-shirt. He did not resist.
"Oh Sid!" gasped Cassie, as she ran her delicate hands all over his back and shoulders, "I so want you. I've missed your gentle ways so much."
They stood up and embraced again. Cassie tenderly kissed Sid all over his shoulders and neck while he let his hands explore all of her back. He put his hands down inside her briefs and fondled her backside..
"Wow!" exclaimed Sid, "You're still perfect. I've waited far too long for this."
"I think you might need this." said Cassie, locating a condom and handing it to Sid.
"Thanks!" said Sid as he put it within reach of the bed.
As they embraced, Sid unclipped Cassie's bra and gently removed it, revealing her perfect rounded little breasts. She reacted by unzipping Sid's jeans and pushing them down to his thighs. He finished removing them. Both of them were now stripped to their briefs, embracing, kissing, exploring and caressing each others' bodies. The sight of her now nearly naked body made him gasp with delight.
"Oh, wow, Cass!" said Sid, "You're still amazing."
"Thank you Sid." said Cassie.
His hands again explored the whole of her back caressing it from her shoulders to her thighs. As his hands passed her hips, he pushed her briefs down, revealing her smooth shaved pussy. She did not resist. She let her briefs fall to the floor and stepped out of them.
"Oh God, sweet Cassie!" whispered Sid, appreciating Cassie's now totally nude body, "Y-you're absolutely beautiful. Are you comfortable about this?"
"Of course!" said Cassie, "In any case, I love being naked nowadays. I like it even more when it's you who has undressed me."
At this point they moved towards the bed. Cassie did get pleasure from the sensation of being completely naked. Sid kissed her back between her shoulder blades while running his hands down her sides. She gave a little shiver of pleasure, turned round, kissed Sid on the lips, ran her fingertips right down his back and pushed his briefs down, freeing his erection. They slid down to his ankles and he stepped out of them.
"Wow!" exclaimed Cassie, "You must want me so much."
"I do!" said Sid, "I've missed the feel of your skin against mine, Cass. It's been too long."
Still standing up, they embraced each other and kissed again before getting on to the bed. As they lay down, Sid initially lay behind Cassie, put his arms around her and cupped her breasts in his hands, stimulating the nipples with his fingers while showering her neck and shoulders with gentle little kisses. He was particularly excited by the feel of Cassie's naked back against his chest.
"Oh, Cass!" said Sid, "This is heavenly. You're so perfect for me."
"I know!" said Cassie.
Cassie turned over to face Sid and kissed his lips. Sid embraced Cassie and gently kissed her shoulders and then each breast, running his tongue round the nipple. His hands softly caressed her back.
"That's so lovely!" commented Cassie, "Do that again."
Sid complied, kissing each breast once again. He once again showered her shoulders and neck with little kisses while exploring her naked body with his hands. While he was doing this, she caressed and explored his body with her fingertips, especially his back and shoulders, appreciating the texture of his skin. She kissed him again before turning onto her back. Sid caressed and kissed her breasts before letting his hands softly explore Cassie's rib cage and lower abdomen.
"Oh, wow, Cass!" exclaimed Sid, as he caressed her hipbones and the skin between them, "You're absolutely perfect. I adore your hips. I adore everything about your perfect body."
"That was a lovely thing to say about me." said Cassie.
When his fingers moved along one of the grooves that ran from her hipbones to her fanny, she wriggled a bit and caught her breath. He moved his hand to her mound and softly caressed it, before gently exploring her pussy with a finger and locating her clit. She gave a sharp intake of breath and writhed again. He tenderly massaged it in a circular motion, eliciting more moans and gasps from her.
"Wow!" gasped Cassie, "That feels so good. – Don't stop."
While Sid was attending to her pussy, Cassie located Sid's erection with her hand and started massaging it. Sid could sense that she was getting excited. He caressed her clit some more before lightly probing further into her opening with his fingers. By this time, she was quite wet and her continuing stimulation of his penis was bringing him close to orgasm.
"Hold back, Cass!" he exclaimed, "I don't want to cum too soon."
She stopped massaging his erection and once again turned on to her back. He took advantage of the pause, reached out for the bedside table and collected the condom. Once he had applied it and removed his socks, he moved to the bottom of the bed and started caressing her feet.
"You've got such lovely feet." said Sid as he gently stroked and kissed them.
"I guess that's because I like comfortable shoes." said Cassie.
"They're as beautiful as the rest of you." said Sid as he kissed Cassie's feet.
When he had explored her pretty feet, he worked his way up her shins with a line of little kisses. When he reached her thighs, he started showering them with lots more little kisses, working his way towards her pussy. When he reached it, she spread her legs inviting Sid to lick it, paying particular attention to her clit. She gasped and writhed some more.
"Please, Sid! – I want you! – Do it!" she gasped.
Sid moved back up her body, kissing her breasts while stimulating her pussy with his hand. As he was doing this, Cassie caressed Sid's sides and back. He carefully guided his member into her opening and started thrusting, gently at first, but getting more energetic as he felt that he was about to let go. Cassie was also on the point of orgasm. Suddenly, she let out a loud gasp and started thrusting into Sid. He could not hold back any longer and had his climax. Cassie excitedly ran her hands all over Sid's back. Sid continued kissing and caressing his beautiful Cassie's naked body as their excitement gradually subsided, while Cassie continued stroking Sid's back. After a while, they were both perfectly calm.
"Oh sweet Sid!" said Cassie, "That was wonderful. I'd almost forgotten how gentle and passionate you could be. You fucked me as if you really loved me."
"Is there any other way?" asked Sid, "I do really love you, Cass."
They spent the next half-hour or so gently kissing and caressing each other in bed, enjoying the feel of each other. After a while, Cassie noticed the time. It was approaching nine thirty.
"Sorry to break the spell Sid, but when did you say your train left Paddington?" asked Cassie.
"Half past eleven." said Sid, sleepily, "Why? What's the time now?"
"It's about half past nine." said Cassie, "I think we should both have a shower before you head for home. After that, I'll come to Paddington with you."
"You needn't do that." said Sid.
"I want to." said Cassie, "I want to be with you for as long as possible. So, I suppose we'd better make a move."
"I suppose so." said Sid, sadly and caressed Cassie's body for a bit longer.
After a few more minutes, Sid regretfully disengaged himself from Cassie and got out of bed. She followed him. They both wrapped themselves in towels and headed for the bathroom. Still enjoying their physical closeness, they shared the shower.
"That was so lovely," said Cassie, as they both dressed, "but I suppose all good things have to end."
She sounded a bit down as she said this. Sid gave her a cuddle to reassure her.
"Cheer up!" said Sid, "It's not the end this time. We'll be properly together in the next week or so."
"That's true," said Cassie, "but I still feel sad that I'm saying goodbye to you yet again."
By this time, it was shortly after ten o'clock. Sid and Cassie set out for Hampstead station, holding hands and kissing each other at intervals. They were both feeling a little depressed, so they didn't say very much to each other. After two buses, they arrived at Paddington and headed for the ticket barrier.
"I suppose this is it." said Cassie, sadly.
"It won't be for long." said Sid, "When you're ready to come to Bristol, I'll drive up to London to help you move your stuff. Incidentally, Maxxie made a suggestion earlier today."
"What was that?" asked Cassie.
"Perhaps, you, me, Caterina and Maxxie could get together for a meal." said Sid.
"That's a lovely idea." said Cassie, smiling, "But we'll have to do it before I leave London."
"That's true." said Sid, "If you let me know when you can leave, I'll call Maxxie and see if we can arrange something for when I come up to bring you back home."
"Oh sweet Sid!" said Cassie, "I like it that you think of Bristol as my home. I'll call you tomorrow morning. You'd better be thinking about getting on that train."
"Not just yet." said Sid, "I haven't said 'goodbye' to you properly."
He embraced his sweet Cassie and gave her a long passionate farewell kiss.
"I love you." said Cassie as she disengaged herself from Sid, "Next time we see each other, we won't be saying 'goodbye'. I can't wait."
"Anyway, I'd better get on the train." said Sid, "Goodbye my sweetness! I'll see you in a few days. Don't forget to call me."
"Goodbye, gentle Sid." said Cassie, "I'll call you tomorrow morning. Have a safe journey."
"Farewell my divine Cassie. I love you so much." said Sid as he got on board.
Cassie stood on the platform gazing after the departing train until it was out of sight, before returning to her bed-sit in the knowledge that she would be back with her sweet, gentle Sid very soon. Sid meanwhile returned to Bristol, confident that he had restored his relationship with the one girl he truly loved.
