Through the afternoon they settled in the living room watching a movie. Once in a while Gillian would move her eyes from the screen and take in the peaceful scenario around her. Cal was in the couch and her head was lying in his lap. His fingers tangled in her hair slowly tracing loops over it. Her gaze was now absorbing his features. And a satisfaction smile spread across her face. This was different than everything they've shared. They've been friends for a long time, almost the same as they've been partners. They've shared lots of moments alone with each other. But this was different, they are sharing a baby. A tiny creature will connect them for the rest of their lives. It was some kind of unbreakable bond. From now on they will be acting like two grown ups building a relationship.
Cal cast his gaze down surprising her lost in thought. As the soft light of the afternoon alter with the dark from the night the living room got filled with shadows. Even so he could see her eyes glowing and her childish smile in his lap.
He helped her into a sitting position without losing eye contact. She folded her legs under her body and he bended his head to kiss her. Somehow they've managed to stay all afternoon without kissing, but now the desire for each others lips was unbearable. She felt his wet lips upon hers, moving together in timely motions. His tongue claimed access to hers and she parted her lips allowing a brief touch. A pleasurable moan escaped at the slippery felling of his tongue inside her mouth. His heart started beating fast as it got more passionate. The room started feeling hotter than moments ago. They split remaining close enough to feel each other warm breath. A smile expressed in both faces.
They kissed every inch of each others body imprinting every cell with new information. He made sure her body wasn't forgetting his soon. And she discovered that the more she had of him the more she desired him. They were slowly getting addicted to one another. After making out in her couch like two teenagers they laid there.
Cal lifted his head to look for his phone. It was almost eight, he definitely needed to check on Emily and make something to dinner.
"Where are you going?" Gillian said while stretching her body before covering her mouth yawning.
"I can't sleep over again! Emily's home alone while I trust her Liam's probably getting there. You know my daughter!" Cal grabbed his keys in the counter.
"Please!" Gillian begged with her pleading eyes. Cal made his way back into the living room to kiss her good night but he changed his mind when he watched her pleading face. It was true Emily couldn't stay alone another night but he wasn't sure if Gillian would be fine alone too.
"Come with me!" She searched his face for some sign but he was telling the truth. He really wanted her to come with him.
"What?" Gillian asked to gain some time. She wasn't sure she was prepared to take this step. It was obvious she wasn't moving over there, but sleeping in his house would lead to that eventually. Besides Emily didn't know about their relationship and she didn't mean to just crash over there like a plain.
"Come to my place." Cal was reading her face. Women needed time to process everything, analyze the benefit and against, with Gillian wasn't different. She was confused about moving too fast and she didn't expect him to ask her this out of nowhere.
"Oh, Cal I don't think that's appropriate. We still need to explain all of this between us to Emily." Cal rolled his eyes, she was deflecting.
"You're right, grab your things you're coming with me." He said moving upstairs to help her packing some clothes.
"But… Didn't you hear what I just said?" She started again and he stopped walking.
"Yeah, and you're coming. Let me help you pack your things. What do you think you'll need?"
"Cal, this isn't a good idea!" She got up and followed him. She wanted to go with him, because she wasn't trilled about staying alone in her apartment. But she wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do.
"Don't worry about Emily she will jump with all the news, believe me!"
"It's a lot to take in all at once." She pointed.
"Love, I understand you're not comfortable about it but Emily already knows something is going on. It was her, she saw the pills in the hospital and she told me you're pregnant." Gillian stopped abruptly in the last step of the stairs. Her mouth hanging open and her eyes looking like she was in shock. Cal continued: "If it wasn't her I will be clueless about all of this and you'll probably be dealing alone with everything."
"Oh my God, she's the daughter of her father. I can't believe she knew!" Gillian couldn't believe what she just heard, Emily was so perceptive. She almost couldn't believe it. "We should bring her to work with us, she would be precious."
"Now and then I imagine that but let's allow her to end school first!" Cal joked about and she pushed him forward getting in her room. "So are you coming or what?"
"Ok, I'm persuaded let me pick some clothes and then we could leave." Gillian grabbed a few things and some clothes. Just the essential for a night and the next day she would come to get ready for work.
