Kelly's giggles floated through the spacey bathroom as she watched Peter attempting to give her a sexy striptease
Kelly's giggles floated through the spacey bathroom as she watched Peter attempting to give her a sexy striptease- and Kelly said the word "attempt" with lots of love.
Peter was just trying to open his pants in the sexiest way possible, which ended with him stumbling around the room to prevent himself from falling over his own feet.
Kelly covered her mouth with a hand to stop herself from laughing any louder while she enjoyed the show from her comfortable position on the edge of the bathtub.
It was just a moment later that Kelly heard the doorbell ring over the light sound of the music.
She groaned inside while she lifted a finger for Peter to signal that he shouldn't move and she'd be right back.
Peter pouted playfully as he watched her leaving the room with her back through the door first to make sure she didn't miss a single part of him.
Kelly practically ran down the stairs, as she was desperate to get back to her hottie of a boyfriend.
When she finally reached the front door, she swung it open only to be met by the guy who brought them their weekly newspaper. Kelly groaned silently to herself because of the unimportant interruption. She could be watching Peter Gallagher getting rid of his boxers right now! Her slight annoyance explained itself.
"Hi Miss err… Mrs. R" the boy started shyly and Kelly interrupted only too aware that her half-naked man was waiting upstairs for her.
"Kelly is fine. Thank you for this" she said motioning to the paper before taking it in her hands.
"No, err, no problem… Kelly" the shy teenager said and emphasised her name with a sense of pride. Wasn't he just glad that he took that bad-paid half-time job?
She smiled back at him and was just about to push the door closed to race back upstairs to an impatient Peter when the boy said "KELLY!".
Kelly sighed lightly before opening the door again, forcing a smile.
"Yes?"
"I'm, Lukas" he said and Kelly wondered why someone would tell her something so random.
"That's great. Have a nice day Lukas," she said wishing she'd be back upstairs already.
While Kelly's second attempt to close the door failed miserably again because the boy had asked her for an autograph, Peter got impatient waiting for her upstairs. He was already naked because he wasn't able to control himself any longer and decided to simply wrap a short towel around his waist to go and see what Kelly was doing so long downstairs.
He quickly regretted his decision when he saw the young boy blushing every time Kelly made eye contact with him.
"Baby" Kelly heard from the top of the stairs and cringed. Oh, dear. He had the best timing in the world.
"I'll be right upstairs. Just wait for…" she was trying to say when she saw Peter at the bottom of the stairs, only wearing a very very short towel indeed.
Kelly turned back around to look at Lukas, hoping desperately he hadn't seen the naked man behind her. The moment she looked into his eyes and saw his open mouth, she knew it was too late. He had seen him.
"H…hi Sir" he whispered nervously to Peter who gave him just a friendly nod.
Kelly didn't know if she felt like laughing or crying at the current situation: She, Kelly Rowan stood on her doorstep, talking to a teenager who just saw her almost naked boyfriend standing in the hall. A boy, who delivers N E W S P A P E R S – yes, a paperboy. Wasn't this coincidence just perfect seen as they had tried to have as less as possible to do with papers, the press, media and publicity in general?
After almost 10 minutes, they finally got rid of "one of Kelly's biggest fans" as Lukas put it and Kelly and Peter looked at each other and sighed. Who knew when Kelly went downstairs that it would practically ruin their free afternoon together?
Of course, nobody knew, because that was nothing but the case. As soon as Kelly shut the door behind her, Peter had closed the unwanted gap between their bodies before he lifted a giggling Kelly up in a fireman's lift and carried her back upstairs to finish his now very short job.
All that could be heard for the rest of the afternoon were the slight giggles from the bathroom that were only interrupted by low grunts and soft sighs which could be barely heard over the still lightly playing tune of the song Peter had put on a little earlier.
They moved in rhythm with the light waves they produced in the water and along the soft melody of the music. He completed her. She completed him. That was everything either of them cared about and no little interruption could ever ruin this feeling of completion for them.
The next days went great for both Peter and Kelly- after they had almost lived one month together and both enjoyed every single minute of it except for the stress with the unpacking and paper stuff that still needed to get filled out.
Thanks to Paula's nice surprise, which Peter had found out because he listened to the text of her answering machine, Peter had been a little down. The text said she was away with the kids for the weekend, which meant Peter couldn't talk to them as soon as he had hoped but Kelly had quickly made sure that he was okay and thanks to her he was.
Well, and thanks to the impression Peter had made on David the other day, Kelly hadn't heard of him again, which she was more than grateful for.
Both could really say that their current life and relationship felt like heaven, a cheesy love story, a fairytale. They couldn't keep their hands off each other when they had company and they couldn't stop touching each other when they had moments alone. Conclusion: They were all over each other all the time.
Peter, for one, enjoyed every single moment he had with Kelly simply because he discovered a new Peter for himself. The romantic Peter who's heart beat faster every time he saw a, that, woman. The man that was happy again and had every reason to. Peter Gallagher a content man who was simply in love.
It hadn't even been half a year since all the drama had entered their lives: Their hidden affair, the wedding, the pregnancy. And Peter and Kelly would say that was enough drama for ten lives. Yes there was still a lot of time needed to forget about everything. Or there should be, but Peter and Kelly seemed happy and they lived in the present not in the past. The only thing left that bothered them a little bit was that Peter hadn't talked to his kids yet but that would come eventually, too.
Peter stretched his body in bed with a slight smile. They both would be returning to work- not together but at least they both would do the job they loved before seeing each other in the evening. He remained in a sitting position and turned around to look at his still sleeping girlfriend. Sometimes he still couldn't believe what kind of life he was living: His dream had come true, after more than 4 long years. He was allowed to call the beautiful woman beside him his Girlfriend. His woman. Someday probably his fiancée and his, for god's sake, wife.
Another smile crossed his lips at the thought before he gentle brushed some of the hair in her forehead behind her ear to see her gorgeous face properly.
Kelly stirred lightly in her sleep when she felt something tickling her face.
"Kelly?" Peter asked a little amused. She was usually the early-morning person and would need to wake him up so he wouldn't be late for work, this morning, however it was the other way around.
She groaned little before turning around and towards him. Peter chuckled when he saw the deep frown on her forehead- yeah, definitely the other way around.
"Morning sunshine" Peter joked before leaning down and kissing her gently on the cheek.
She immediately opened her eyes before closing them again because her eyes hadn't adjusted to the bright sun that could be seen through their almost see-through curtains.
"Wow who bought these stupid curtains" she murmured and buried her head in her hands. Another chuckle escaped Peter lips before he slowly leant down so he could whisper in her ear. "I think that was you my dear" he said quietly with a sense of amusement in his voice. Kelly's head shut up and she looked at him playfully mad.
"Fine then, say it" she said.
Peter used the hand he had put on her cheek to pull her a little closer until his lips could meet hers. After he pulled away a few inches, he looked her straight in the eyes and said "I, told, you, so".
Kelly couldn't suppress a light giggle as she pulled him closer again and kissed his lips hard.
"We, have, to, get, ready, for, work" Peter murmured through the passionate kiss, making Kelly release a loud irritated groan before she pulled away.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Rowan, I would've liked to stay in bed, too" he said and kissed her lips briefly before he swung his legs out of bed and began towards the bathroom.
She sat there for a few seconds before shouting after him "Wow, Peter, after one month with me you are already denying me my daily sex-dose. I don't know if I can live with that" she said loud enough for him to hear over the sound of the pouring water. Kelly heard a quiet chuckle from the bathroom and smiled herself. Oh how she loved these simple mornings with him. She loved having someone to wake up to. She loved being wakened by someone next to you. She loved getting dressed in the morning, knowing that you wouldn't be the one that undressed you in the evening. She loved listening to someone in the shower who sang along to an old song in the radio. She just loved these little jokes in the morning that would lighten her day already. She loved knowing that she wouldn't need to come home to an empty house in the evening. She loved to have someone that would ask her how her day had been and would actually listen when she answered. She loved that Peter was her someone.
"Baby I'm gonna go" Peter shouted through the house. He was standing in the kitchen and had to admit that he was slightly nervous about meeting the new cast and producers. The O.C. had a filming break so Kelly and Peter thought they'd look for a little new job to keep them busy without being too occupied to see each other enough.
"Wait, wait, wait, don't go without saying goodbye" Kelly shouted back from upstairs. She was in a bit of a hurry and already too late for her own date with one of the producers of her new movie.
Peter shook his head smiling. He should've known that she wouldn't let him leave so easily.
After at least 5 minutes, Kelly finally arrived in the kitchen and wrapped her arms around his body to embrace him in a tight hug. "You'll be absolutely fine. They will love you. I know you can do it," she whispered reassuringly in his ear. He didn't need to voice out how nervous he was- she understood him without words.
Peter smiled. Oh god, how he loved that woman. A few words of reassurance were enough to give him back his self-confidence and passion for his job- only Kelly could do that, he was sure.
"Thanks baby" he whispered back before he broke their hug to embrace her in a long kiss. Kelly felt his lips parting and did the same, letting his tongue slide into her mouth for a moment. Kelly sighed at the sweet taste they produced together before she forced herself to pull back, knowing what their deep kisses usually led to.
Peter smiled at her and took both her hands in his, looking her in the eyes as he spoke. "And for you, honey, have a good day. I'd say 'good luck' but you don't need it" he said lovingly and received another prolonged kiss to thank him.
After they parted for the countless time that morning, Kelly grabbed her handbag and rushed Peter out of the door, following close behind.
This they would be important for the both of them and both hoped that everything would go as well as they had imagined it when they decided to do another job along with the O.C.
Peter sighed while he drove along a busy road. He knew he'd arrive too late, which he hated. Groaning at the 6th red traffic light, he pulled out his cell phone to dial a familiar number.
Peter was relieved when she picked up only seconds later "Hi baby, everything okay?".
He grinned. "Hey, yes I just thought I'd call you before you have this job-thing to make sure you arrived safely and to ask everything else a good boyfriend would ask" he joked and smiled when he heard the woman on the other side giggle.
"Well, I'm glad you did. Yes, I'm here and everything looks good. I've spoken to two cast members and they seemed quite nice" she explained and Peter smiled to himself, being nothing but glad that everything was going great for her.
"Nice cast-members huh? Men?" Peter asked playfully and heard another one of Kelly's wonderful giggles.
"Who knows, Mr.Gallagher, jealous?" she asked back and was met with silence as he tried to make up a good response.
"Uhh no" he simply said and Kelly grinned.
"Well handsome as much as I loved your call, I think I'm up next and should look over the lines. I want to make a good impression on the guys you know" she explained regretting it a little.
Peter nodded before he realised she couldn't see him. "Err yeah, of course. But let me get this straight first: The guys, like the producers or the guys, like the 'nice cast-members'" he asked teasingly, mimicking her voice at the end.
Kelly laughed at his questions before she answered. "Byee honey, see you later," she said in a sing-sang-tone and pressed the red button before any objections could be heard.
Peter's jaw dropped to the floor. "Hey!" he said to himself as he slid his phone back into his pocket. "She'll pay for that later" he told himself in his head and smiled at the sudden thought. Smiled until he heard the many car horns from behind him that belonged to angry people that wanted to signal to him to "freakin" move.
Sighing, he braced himself for the rest of the boring and long car journey that still lay ahead.
When Peter finally arrived, he apologised to everyone and was quickly called into a room where three tall men were waiting for him- not threatening at all.
"Mr. Gallagher?" The man who was sitting in the middle of a large wooden table asked him. Peter nodded and wondered why he was being so incredibly nervous.
"Yes, that's me, hi" he said and shook the three hands which seemed to be as twice as big as his and Kelly always claimed how big his were already- again, not threatening at all, Peter.
"Please sit down" one of the men said and Peter sat down on the chair in front of them. He couldn't help but feel like he was a criminal that sat in a court room and waited to hear what his punishment would be.
"I'm Mr. Williams" the man in the middle introduced himself before doing the same to the men next to him whose names Peter couldn't remember for the world.
"Oh, so I've talked to you on the phone" Peter said, trying to make this situation a little lighter.
"I guess so" the guy opposite Peter replied and he wondered if these three were a gay couple who finished each others sentences all the time.
"Mr. Gallagher" Mr. Williams started to say but Peter interrupted "Peter".
Mr.Williams didn't seem to like the interruption as he stiffed in his seat and threw him a cold look. "Peter" he corrected himself "unfortunately I have bad news for you".
Peter nodded. He couldn't get fired before he even started to film just because he got stuck in a traffic jam.
"Me and my partners have decided that you aren't … the right actor for this character" he explained and Peter couldn't help but say "Wow only one week ago you told me you'd want me at any price. Weird how opinions change sometimes huh?" he asked the three men a little respectless but he didn't care. He knew their problem wasn't that he didn't "fit" with the cast.
Peter got up from his chair as one of the men apologised. He didn't need to hear this crap, knowing there had to be another reason why they didn't want them all of a sudden. Maybe they read something bad about him in the paper that could be bad for their publicity but he had really thought Kelly and him had handled that pretty well and barely anything bad was said about them. Maybe there was another reason he simply didn't know.
Peter left the set angrily. He was angry because of how these PEOPLE were talking to him. He was angry that he didn't get the job that was almost sure to be his. He was angry that he drove all the way up there just to get a rejection.
Kelly parked in her garage after a long, good day. She was content with how everything went today and her new colleagues seemed very nice. Kelly had always said that a good cast is the most important thing in a production for a new Tv Show or a new movie.
Smiling at the beautiful house in front of her or mostly at the thought that it was hers and Peter's, she pressed a button and watched the garage close itself for a moment. She then climbed up the many stairs to their front door and was pleasantly surprised to find it open.
Someone to come home to!
She had actually thought Peter would be home later seen as he had to drive all the way up to the new set, but she was definitely not the one complaining that he was home earlier.
Kelly slid the jacket off her shoulders and slipped of her high heels. She was grateful for the coldness that hit her feet. She closed her eyes for a second and enjoyed the feeling before she began to look for Peter in their enormous house.
"Now that could take a while" Kelly thought and giggled. After she was finished with looking downstairs everywhere she climbed up the spiral steps and looked in room after room on her journey to her one and only.
Of course, she could've called him, but she wanted to surprise him with her arrival.
The last room that was left was their bedroom and Kelly smiled at the thought that he was already in the room she liked to have him most.
Her smile faded however when she found him looking absentmindedly out the window. She had expected him to be either waiting here for her or for him to be downstairs watching television or starting with dinner.
She tiptoed over to him and when she reached him she wrapped her arms around his waist.
Peter looked outside and watched the light waves the wind had left in the water of the pool. He hadn't been himself all day and couldn't stop asking himself why these people didn't want him today. Only a week ago they were desperate to have him in their team and now they simply rejected him. That job hadn't been any more important to him than others but he didn't like it when people promised something and broke this promise and especially when he didn't do anything wrong.
He was just debating in his mind to call these guys back to know why he didn't get the job, when he felt the familiar arms of Kelly sliding around his waist.
"Hi" she whispered softly in his ear and he turned around to kiss her hello.
"Hi baby" he said his eyes looking from her eyes, to her lips, to her shoulders, all the way down her arms until he looked at their entwined hands.
Kelly started to get even more worried when he couldn't look in her eyes for more than two seconds.
"Honey, you okay?" she asked and untangled one of her hands from his to lift his chin so he'd have to look at her.
"Yeah" he said but he knew she'd know he'd be lying the second the last letter left his lips.
"Peter" she said waiting for his eyes to meet hers "Talk to me".
He smiled at her concern. Yes, he had been better but on the other hand… it was just a job not the end of the world, right?
"I didn't get the job," he simply said and this time looked her straight in the eyes.
"Aww baby, I'm sorry, did they tell you why? I thought you were supposed to start filming today" she asked and stroked his cheek with a hand. Peter pulled her a little closer to his body, already feeling better with having her so close to him.
"Yeah, well I was, but they've obviously changed their opinion. They didn't actually say why, well they did but I don't believe them. But let's not talk about this, it had ruined my day and I don't want it to ruin our night" he explained to her and caught her lips in his for a sensual kiss.
Kelly broke it to draw a close to this conversation "Well, honey, we don't have to talk about this if you don't want to but I'd suggest that you call them first thing tomorrow so you can make peace with their decision" she proposed and he smiled down at her.
"Okay" he whispered back to her before he kissed her hard on the lips.
She let herself get lost in his kisses and giggled when she heard him whispering to her through it. "I, think, I, should, get, back, at, you, for, just, hanging, up, on, me, today".
Immediately after saying this, Peter pushed her down on their bed to lie over her.
"But I didn't do anything, Mr.Gallagher" she said as innocently as possible after she broke their kiss.
"Uh-huh, we'll see about that" he replied and engaged her into another passionate kiss, making sure there tongues were dancing.
First moans of pleasure escaped both their lips as they tried desperately to get each other as quickly as possible out of their clothes.
When they were finally clothes-less and very aroused they tangled themselves in the sheets, never thinking about breaking their embrace.
Kelly knew they both were already ready for each other as she felt the dampness between her thighs and Peter's hard cock pressed against her inner thigh but this night she wanted to make sure she pleased him in the best way possible to take his mind off everything but her.
Peter breathed heavily into her neck as he prepared to enter her and he was more than surprised when Kelly flipped them over and prevented him from doing just that.
She smiled wickedly at him from her position on top of him before she slowly began tracing kissed from his lips, to his jaw line, down his neck, down his sweaty sexy chest and down his hard muscular belly.
She paused at his waistline, loving to tease him by stroking the thin line of hair there. She listened contently to Peter's harsh breaths and smiled when his hands tangled themselves in her hair. Oh yes, he knew what was coming, too.
Any teasing forgotten, Kelly finally wrapped her lips around his hardness where she began sucking and blowing him the best way she knew how.
It took Peter barely seconds to feel himself tightening in her warm wet mouth. He pulled her gently away from him, only wanting for them to come together.
She smiled loving how he always thought about her pleasure instead of once about his own. Kelly accepted the invitation to push her lips back against his own moist warm ones.
He couldn't wait any longer as he felt her tongue playing with his and her warm entrance against his shaft.
Peter turned them around and plunged into her without warning, both partners screaming out their pleasure to be connected.
He started with a slowish pace, wanting to freeze time to feel this, to feel her, forever.
Of course his plan wasn't very likely to work since it was Kelly he was talking about. As much as the both of them always try to make it an as long experience as possible, at some point they got too desperate to concentrate on the task and the slow pace went out the window.
They reached this point of desperate excitement and Kelly felt Peter quickening his pace.
"Faster, please, honey, oh god" she moaned into his ear and he did just that.
Their sweaty bodies met harder under the luxurious fabric of their sheets and both their breathes couldn't be called controlled anymore.
Peter was simply hanging in there to make sure she had her pleasure first, which became more and more of a difficult task.
Kelly finally felt the warm familiar feeling building up inside her lower stomach and only seconds later, Peter could feel her tighten around himself and he screamed her name in harmony with his own that had escaped her swollen lips.
They both lay in silence for a while. Kelly and Peter were both looking at the ceiling with a slight satisfied smile on their faces. Her hand gripped his tightly and her touch was enough communication between the two lovers.
The silence was broken by Peter, as usual, who asked her about her day. Kelly told him about her the nice cast and the producers and teased him a little bit with her new male colleagues. After they finished talking about their days Peter remembered that he still had to lock the doors and windows for the night.
"Baby?"
"Yes"
"I'm gonna go and lock the doors. I'll be right back. You stay here" he said giggling and Kelly smiled. "Want some help?" she asked but he shook his head. "No, you'll stay right here. I'm not finished with you".
He caught her lips in his for a prolonged kiss before he smiled lovingly at her and her still naked body.
Peter was just finished with locking the million doors and windows of the house when he reached the front door, the last one on his way back to his sweetheart.
He locked it and stepped onto something that didn't belong to the hallway.
Peter kneeled down and stayed in the position to look at it – oh, the paper Kelly had thrown carelessly to the floor earlier to have her hands free for him. He smirked and was just about to stand back up and go back to Kelly when something caught Peter's eye. The headline.
He read it. And he read it again. And again and again and again. He felt like fainting when it still said the same.
Peter didn't know if he wanted to scream in anger or cry in embarrassment. He read it again. And again. And these clearly printed black letters wouldn't stop looking back at him. He read it again. And suddenly he knew why he didn't get the job earlier. He read it again. And again. Then, he stopped.
"Oh my god, Kelly"
