Chapter Six
She snuggled into his chest and he gently placed a kiss to the top of her head "I meant what I said Stevie..." she glanced up at him and he pushed her hair from her face and pecked her lips "I love you". She nodded "I love you too Smithy". She ran her hand over his firm chest and smiled "You are amazing too Smithy..". He stroked her hair once again pulling the covers into their bodys more. "My nan'll be thrilled" he spoke softly. She glanced up at him "Thats not why you did this was it?". He laughed "Of corse not Stevie... I wouldnt use anybody like that, especially not you". She smiled "Ok..." she layed her head back down onto his body and smiled "Ok". He ran his hands up and down her back and she relaxed into his body more. Closing her eyes she thought back over the evening, Smithy had finally given her everything she wanted, they really were perfect for each other. Despite everything that had happened with Damien, Smithy had still managed to find it in his heart to forgive her and more than anything they were going to build a future together. He had promised her the world and in all honestly she was more than happy to let her life fall into place now, she finaly had what she wanted.
Waking with a start she glanced accross to the empty bed, she wiped her eyes open futher and glanced at the clock, it was just before 4am, the room was dark other than the dim lamp in the corner, pushing to her feet, she grabbed her ugg boots and pulled them onto her feet, moving over to her dressing gown laying on the floor where it had fallen only a few hours ago, she grabbed it and pulled it on before tying it in a tight knot and heading out the door. The hall way was dark and she glanced either way before creeping in the direction of Smithys room, the door was open and she made her way inside to find him again missing. Walking down the stairs she found the house was creepier than she remembered, she could hear Smithys voice in the kitchen and that alone put her at ease slightly. She stopped infront of the full length mirror and neatened her dressing gown before wiping at the black marks under her eyes and heading through towards the kitchen. She froze just away from entering the room. "... nah I am impressed mate.. Im glad you finally had a go on her..". Smithy interupted him "Dont talk about her like that". Damien laughed "She is a tart... you have called her it yourself enough times since she slept with me.." Smithys voice made her jump slightly and she guessed he was nearer to the door now "It werent like that.." he interupted "No?" she heard Damien laugh "You got out of her bed... to come down here and gloat about getting into her knickers... what does that tell you?". Stevie ducked behind the door as the two men walked from the room, Smithy flicked the light and she was suddenley left in darkness, she heard the two men laugh as she wiped at her tears and then Smithys voice once again "Just back off of her yeah?". Damien interupted "Why.. she gunna put you on a ban if I give her a hard time". Smithy laughed once again "Yeah something like that".
Stevie had spent about half an hour sitting on the stairs before she had worked up the courage to go and see Smithy, she knocked lightly on his bedroom door and walked inside. He grinned, pushing up on the bed, his back pushed against the head board. He smiled "Sorry... I couldnt sleep.. I didnt want to wake you". She nodded slightly as he gestured for her to come in the room, she pushed the door closed and walked over, moving her leg over his body she sat on him and placed her hands to his body, he had on a pair of blue jeans and a white shirt and she couldnt really figure out why considering a few hours ago he had been sleeping in her bed with definatly not that amount of clothing. She placed her lips to his and he responded with enthusiasm. After a few moments she withdrew and began to unbutton his shirt buttons. Her eyes fell to his body, she just couldnt look him in the eye. He lifted her chin and he smiled "You know its half four in the morning sweetheart". She nodded letting her eyes fall back to the buttons she was undoing agonizingly slowly, he ran his hands over her figure, before he pulled at the knot to her dressing gown, she just couldnt meet his eyes. He gripped her fingers and smiled "Whats wrong Stevie?". She shook her head "Nothing". He lifted her chin once again "I know you Stevie... I know there is something wrong". She sighed staring straight into his eyes "I came looking for you... I heard what you said to Damien". Her eyes fell once again as the tears escaped her eyes "You know what this was a mistake" she all but whispeared before attempting to move from his body "No.." he spoke grabbing her arm "Dont say that" he turned her face to him, wiping her tears from her eyes "I love you". She shook her head "I dont mean anything... this has all been about getting one over on Damien". He shook his head "No thats not true.." she cut in "You called me a tart" he sighed "Yeah I have... but not after tonight.. I went to wind him up yes.. because I have you and he didnt... but thats not what I think of you.. I do love you". She sighed "You know.. it was like the perfect crime eh?" he looked confused as he placed his hand to her face. The tears rolled slowly down her cheeks "You completly stole my heart.." she tied her dressing gown up before moving from him, she stood and stared at him "Because I am in love with you Smithy... Damien he was just a one night stand.. a fling.. you.. you were the real deal.. but you used me to get one over on your brother... good night Smithy". She walked from the room and headed for her own bedroom, part of her had expected him to follow, but in all honesty she was glad he hadnt.
The knock on the door startled her and she wiped her eyes, glancing at the clock, 8.30am. Where had the night gone? She rose to her feet and wiped at her eyes again. The second knock she turned to the door "Yeah" she spoke softly. The door opened and Smithy moved inside, holding a cup out to her "Peace offering" he smiled before pushing the door closed "Can we talk?" he asked and she sighed "I have nothing to say Smithy". He placed the drink to the bedside table "I love you". She shouted "You used me" she hadnt meant to but she was just so angry with him, the tears streaming down her face were soon met by his own and hearing the door open she quickly wiped her eyes. "Is everything ok?" Dot asked. Smithy sighed "Not now Nan". Stevie laughed "Why?" she asked "You had a good laugh about me with your brother... you might as well include the rest of your family in the joke..." she grabbed her wash bag and headed into the ensuite bathroom and locked the door behind her. "What are you doing Dale?" Dot asked "I thought you loved her". He stormed past her and out the door, she followed grabbing his arm "I didnt tell you to go for it to use her in your and Damiens game..." he cut in "It wasnt like that.. you dont know what you are talking about". Dot pulled him back to face her "Now dont you dare talk to me like that Dale... I know that she is in there most probably crying her heart out... she loves you". He nodded "You think I dont know that.. I love her.. she is never going to forgive me now though". Dot sighed "Not with that attitude no.. you dont deserve to be forgiven... you need to prove to her she is the only person you care about and she was not some pawn in your and Damiens pathetic games... now sort it Dale now".
Hearing the thumping on the stairs Smithy rose to his feet and headed out into the hallway "Stevie..." he smiled slightly as he glanced at the suitcase the small blonde was dragging down the stairs "We dont go home until tomorrow Stevie.." she shook her head placing the case at the bottom of the stairs "No I am leaving today Smithy... where is your Nan.. I want to go and say goodbye". He sighed "Please dont do this Stevie". She glanced down "I asked you a question" she replied. He sighed "Erm.. I think she is in the kitchen". Stevie nodded before heading past Smithy towards the kitchen. "I have come to say goodbye" Stevie smiled between Dot and Pauline "I want to thank you for such a wonderfull time..." Dot cut in "Where are you going?" she asked. She heard Smithy appear behind her "I think its for the best if I go home..." she moved towards Dot and placed a kiss to her cheek "Thank you again". She turned and headed to the door "Stevie please" he spoke and she shook her head "Good bye Smithy". She made her way towards where she had left her suitcase well aware the people were following her. "You off, are you darling?" she glanced up at Damien and he sighed "I gotta say Im a little dissapointed.. I was hoping to get the same treatment as he did last night..." Pauline cut in "Damien.. leave the girl alone". Stevie shook her head "No.. its fine.. I guess I learn from my mistakes.. and I wont make the same one twice" she glared between the two men before turning to the door. "Stevie.." Smithy spoke and she turned to face him "Dont.. I have nothing else to say". He smiled "I know stuff.. about you.." she cut in "What is this an attempt to blackmail me?" she asked and he shook his head "No.." she noticed the tears escape his eyes and she smiled slightly as he stepped towards her "I know that.. your favourite colour is pink.. and I mean a bright in your face pink.. and I know your favourite song is erm.. that song by Bonnie Tyler.." she nodded slightly as he rubed his head "Total eclipse of the heart" he smiled "I know your favourite film despite what you lead people to think is Armageddon... and you cry like a baby at the end... " he smiled "Your favourite food is Spagatti Bolognese... and you always used to have it on a Friday night when you was a little girl... it was all your mum could make". He paused moving a little closer "I know you couldnt swim until you were fourteen.. and that you are terrified of spiders.. and that you always dreamed of being a police officer.. even if it meant you had to give up everyone and everything in your life.. which you did.. I know despite making out that you are more than happy living the single life.. you cant wait to settle down..get married and have a family.. you want a little boy and then two girls..." Damiens voice cut in "As touching as this is your life is.. she is going home now Smithy... so lets go and find some real talent". Smithy glared at his brother before turning back to her "I know that I really hurt you last night.. but you have honestly gotta believe I would do anything for you.. I love you.." he glared at Damien as he cut in once again "Ahh I think Im going to throw up". Damien headed up the stairs once again and she smiled to Smithy as he took her hand "Please just give me a chance to make it up to you... I am begging you... dont walk out on me". She noticed Dot and Pauline walk from the room and she smiled "You have a lot of making up to do to me" she spoke softly. He nodded "I will do anything you want Stevie... what ever you want". She smiled "Well you can start by taking my bag back upstairs". He nodded "Your room... or mine?" he asked and she smiled "Your room.. then you can show me you skirt again later" she smiled before he leant gently into her lips. As he pulled back he grinned "I love you so much Stevie". She smiled "I love you too Smithy... but believe me if you ever talk about me like that again... we are through".
"Ahh so the slapper returns" Damien laughed as he approached the small blonde as she sat in the libary looking through a book he rested down next to her "Back off" she spoke. He smiled "You know he will get bored its something that runs in our blood" she shook her head "No". He nodded "Yeah and you know it... I mean he is a cheat.. he has had affairs with married women and lets be honest he follows his dick round.. what makes you think you are any different?". Her eyes fell to the floor "He loves me". Damien laughed "No.. he wants to get his leg over sweetheart.. you are just another shag". The voice cutting in caused her to look up and they both faced the man behind them "You are pathetic.." he laughed moving to Stevie and taking her hand in his "Stevie is different to any other woman I have ever met.. because I love her... I have made mistakes but dont you dare try and make out I am anything like you... I would never hurt someone the way you have... I would never cheat like that.. and I know for damn sure I will never ever hurt Stevie..." he smiled at the small blonde before turning back to Damien "You keep doing this you will push me into choosing Damien... and I dont want to have to cut you out of my life but I will... so dont push me" he lead her from the room and she turned him back to face her "Thank you Smithy". He nodded "Come on... its getting late". They walked along the hall towards their room and she smiled "No one has ever made me feel important Smithy.. special the way you have tonight". He smiled "You are so special... and I am intending to spend every second I have proving it to you Stevie.. I want you to forget Damien... he is in the past... both of our pasts.. we are the future.. me and you Stevie.. I want to give you the future you have been dreaming of and I dont want anyone to get in our way".
