Chapter 5 – It doesn't matter?
I don't know why I felt bad for what happened. I'm sure this happens all the time…to Jack. Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god! Calm down Lily it is not that big a deal. Ianto came wondering back, standing in my bed room door way, he looked a bit like a lost kid. It was clear he was as un-sure as I was. I had no idea what to do. So I gave him a small smile and he smiled back. I can't have him standing there all day. Jack was snoring lightly next to me.
"Ianto?" I whispered just loud enough for him to hear.
"Yes" He replied also whispering very quietly I had to strain to hear what he said.
"Can you shut your eyes for a few minutes please?" It sounded stupid but I had to find some clothes or at least my underwear. He frowned at me for a minute and then I think he must have realised what I wanted cause he shut is eyes very tightly. I was tempted to give him a fright, after I had something on. I put on some clean underwear and a night gown, found Ianto clothes, which were scattered about my room, tapped Ianto on the shoulder and handed them to him.
"Err...thanks" Was all he was able to say, his lips barley moved and he blushed slightly.
I shut my eyes tightly this time whilst he got dressed. I felt something lightly press against my lips and I opened my eyes to see Ianto's closed eyes inches away from me. I shut my eyes as our lips began to move perfectly against each other and I felt his hand run down my back to rest at the small of my back pressing me closer to him. My hands and arms were locked around his neck. He broke the kiss. And he looked at me. I knew my cheeks were slightly flushed and with his right hand he lightly brushed away a stray strand of hair from my cheek. I loved this moment, it seemed so perfect and I felt as though I could have stayed that way forever. Until a loud wolf whistle interrupted it. Jack had woken up and had seen our moment. Jack winked at us and got out of my bed, completely naked and began getting dressed. I let go of Ianto and stretched. Ohhhh I felt awful.
"Breakfast anyone?" Jack asked me and Ianto with a grin. My stomach churned and Ianto grimaced at the thought.
"Just me then" he said grinning at us. Jack seemed perfectly at ease, like always which is bloody annoying. Jack wondered about obviously looking for some breakfast.
"Follow me" I sighed and began heading in the direction of the kitchen. I showed Jack where everything he wanted was. I then got two glasses, filled them with cold water from the fridge, two pain killers each. I handed Ianto a glass of water and two pain killers.
"Thanks" He half mumbled it. I took a sip of water to sooth my dry throat. I'm never drinking again I thought. We both swallowed the pain killers. I slouched through to my living room, glass of water still in hand and sat on the couch, eyes shut and head leant back. There was a frying sound in the kitchen, the smell it me, fried eggs, Ohhhh god my stomach was churning. I took a sip of water hoping it would pass. I can't sit here any longer. I stood up carefully, trying not to move too much. Once I was standing up, sure I wasn't going to fall over. I looked at Ianto was sitting pretty much how I just was.
"I'm going to try and go back to sleep. Are you coming" My words surprised me too. Ianto opened one eye to look at me.
"Okay" He sounded sleepy, like I did. I climbed into my bed, hmmm how I love this bed. Ianto walked about a bit before sitting on the bed.
"Lily?" I was beginning to drift into sleep so I couldn't really say very much.
"Hmmm" I said my voice seemed higher than usual.
"Can I come in?" He sounded like a little kid again, it was really sweet.
"Course and Ianto?"
"Yeah"
"I'll go on that date if you still want to"
I don't remember anything until I woke up, 4 hours later.
It was half twelve in the afternoon. Ianto was sleeping next to me. His breathing was slow, even and deep. I felt a lot less sick. But I still didn't think I could handle food. I left Ianto where he was and went wondered off, first to the toilet and then to find Jack.
Jack was sitting on the chair nearest the gas fire, eating toast, radio on in the background and reading the newspaper. Jack put the paper down; I was going to sit down when he grabbed my first and pulled me onto his lap. His arms locked around my waist so I couldn't go leave.
"Afternoon to you too" I said trying to sound as sarcastic as possible but I couldn't help but laugh. Ianto walked in and saw me being pulled onto Jack's lap. He was laughing too.
"Hmm well this does leave a problem" Jack said seriously, yet he had a grin.
"What?" Ianto and I said it at the same time. Ianto pouted at me slightly so I stuck my tongue out at him.
"Children" Jack said pointing his finger at us. This time I pouted whilst Ianto laughed at us. Jack patted the armrest of the chair; Ianto walked over towards us and perched on it. Jack wrapped an arm around him and I stroked the back of Ianto's hand.
Of all the things I expected Torchwood Cardiff to be like. It certainly was not this. I felt happier than I had done in ages. Not bad for knowing Jack and Ianto for the whole of 2 and a half days. I sighed. Ianto and Jack who had been having a conversation about Myfanway the pterodactyl who lived in the Hub stopped mid-sentences and looked at me. I had been thinking over everything that had happened over the past few days. How my life had changed, for the better or for the worst, so far I wasn't sure but I had hope. Everything would work itself out in the end.
"What's wrong?" Jack's voice was soft, the softest I had ever heard it.
"Nothing, it's just I was thinking…about…well…a few things. First, what the hell actually did happen last night? Last thing I remember we were having a drinking contest and Gwen was passed out on the table. Secondly how am I suppose to explain…you know what never mind. I'm good. I don't need to know."
Ianto looked worried.
"Who would you have to explain anything to?" Ianto's voice wavered slightly. Right on cue, my mobile rang. I sighed and stood up. I picked up the ringing purple object and pressed answer.
"Hey, what's up?"
"Hey Cheeka" I inwardly groaned, still in-love with Enrique Iglesias then.
"Soooo how is Enrique?" I asked teasingly
"I don't know what you're talking about" Tom's voice had gone haughty, so he obviously knew exactly what I was talking about.
"Of course you don't" Ah sarcasm my old friend. How I loved the witty banter you got from sarcasm.
"How are you cheeka, I feel as though I've not talked to you for ages"
I could tell he was pouting slightly on the other end of the phone.
"It has been one day. Have you fallen out with Chester again?" Chester was the name of his on/off love muffin as Tom called him. When ever they fell out I always got almost constant phone calls from them, each blaming and bitching about each other and then they went on about how much the missed each other and wanted to see them. Not that they'd ever admit that. It was one of those conversations, I could tell.
"I have not fallen out with him. I dumped him and this time it's for real."
"Until you both get drunk and phone each other crying begging to be taken back."
"That only happened once" Tom snapped. Silence fell between us, I counted down from five on my fingers and when the got to zero, right on cue again Tom said.
"Well…maybe more than once, but still not that often"
"Of course not" I mumbled under my breath. Jack and Ianto were looking at me; they could only hear my end of the conversation.
"Excuse me a minute Tom" Tom groaned at me.
I whispered to Jack and Ianto. "Sorry guys, my best friend Tom, he split up from his boyfriend Chester again, this might be awhile. Sorry"
"Sorry about-"heard everything, come on speaker phone I want to talk to them, they sound so nice" I had heard the tone he used for nice many times. It was all too clear what he meant.
"Fine" I pressed the speaker phone on button and Tom's gay Spanish with a hint of Scot's filled the room.
"Bon journo" Oh dear, what have I done?
"That's Italian" I said, trying not to laugh at my boy mad best friend.
"It's still a different language"
"Hey, this is Captain Jack Harkness and who might this wonderful voice belong to?" Every word of Jack's introduction dripped with charm and seduction. I could hear Tom giggling and I knew it had worked. I had to admit if Jack had ever said that to me I would probably be giggling to. Ianto rolled his eyes and Jack being well Jack.
"I'm Tom" Oh got I've heard that tine before too; he was trying to be all seductive and charming too. Tom only sounded a little bit different but it did work because he always seemed to have a string of men hanging onto his every word where ever he went.
The conversation pretty much went on with flirty comments between Jack and Tom. Ianto pitched in occasionally and then Tom asked the inevitable.
"What are you and Ianto doing at Lily's house?" My heart raced and I panicked and I quickly hung up before anyone could say anything. My phone got switched off, just to be sure. I don't know what happened so why should Tom? For now anyway.
