"Turn the lights out, It's less dangerous, Here we are now entertain us, I feel stupid and contagious, here we are now, entertain us!" the soothing sounds of Nirvana's Smells Like Team Spirit blasted through the house. After we had left the hospital every had come back to my house and Alice was going to stay the night with us so she wasn't left on her own. Bella was downstairs with her now talking to her and Beth. Milo and Reggie were taking out the strain on my Xbox in the front room, even after everything they still found joy in games consoles.
I sighed to myself as I looked at the collection of pictures on my desk. There was one of me and Bella just after we had got married and she looked gorgeous. Then there was one of me Reggie, Milo and Terry. This was the one that had my attention the moment. The four of us were had been out partying a few years ago for new year's eve. We had been in a bar and asked someone to take our photo. Sure enough he took the photo but then tried to run off with my camera. So the four of us drunkenly stumbled after him and eventually managed to wrestle my camera back. The picture held special memories for me and I was pleased I had thought to frame it.
The phone rang, a sharp sound that made me jump. I gathered myself and picked up the receiver. "Hello?" I inquired. "Mr. Dix." It was Laura my secretary "I had a phone call for you come through after you left today, it was a Mr. Valvel calling from Adike. The sports company he want to meet with you on Saturday."
"Ok can you call him and arrange the details I have some business I need to take care of so I won't be in to work for the next few days." I told her and then hung up the phone. I stretched and removed myself from my office chair to leave the room. I was walking towards the door when Bella strode in and walked over to me. I gave her a quick hug and smiled. She smiled back and said to me "Food's ready honey." I grinned even wider most women would just shout at their husbands but not Bella. No she went out of her way to do all kinds of stuff for me. She turned to leave but I caught her arm and pushed the door shut. She turned back to me and I enfolded her in my arms and kissed her lightly. She wrapped her arms tightly round me and dissolved in to tears.
"I can't believe that Terry's gone and poor Alice having to live with it. I don't know how she will manage I know I wouldn't be able to if I lost you. Never ever become an alcoholic and don't you ever leave me cause I love you and I don't want anything to happen to you." I looked straight down into her deep azure eyes and said with conviction. "Listen to me baby. Nothing is going to happen to me I wouldn't let it because that would mean some other lucky bastard would end up with you. And I wouldn't let that happen cause I love you as well and I still have a fair few years left in me yet. So come on honey give us a smile and let me see how beautiful you are," She did smile at this and I brushed the tears from her cheeks. I kissed her deeply and then said "Come on beautiful we have a house full of guests and a meal to serve up." I took hold of her hand and together we walked downstairs...
That night after Alice had excused herself and gone to bed early saying she needed some sleep, Bella and I were laying in bed next to each other in silence. I could tell we were both deep in thought as Bella was having trouble staying still like she always did when she was thinking and I knew I was thinking hard about the day's events. Eventually Bella rolled over to face me and said in a quiet voice "Dixie I can't sleep are you awake?" In response I rolled back to face her and rested my hand on her shoulder as confirmation I was awake. "I'm thinking about today as well but-" I stopped as Bella put a finger over my lips. "I don't want to talk," She whispered and wriggled closer toward me. I kissed her lightly on the tip of the nose making her giggle slightly and wrapped my arms around her. She moved even closer so our bodies were touching only a frail nightdress between us. She moved one of her legs over mine and kissed me on the lips which I responded to feverishly. As our passion grew she moved on top of me and grasped my forearms pushing them deep into the pillow. I could feel her body on top of mine grinding into me and the forcefulness of her deep kisses and motions. I responded in like and our passion grew thorough the night. Until we eventually collapsed exhausted from our foray and slept deeply in each other's arms...
