Laying in bed with just a sheet covering them she was so relaxed and happy trailing her fingers up and down his bare chest, "Well that welcome was out of this world."

Running his hand up and down her back he smiled, "I have to agree with that being pretty phenomenal. So how's the knee?"

Resting her arms on his chest she rolled over so she was more on her stomach and looked up at him, "Don't fuss over me, just enjoy this."

Tucking some hair behind her ear he shook his head, "If I want to fuss over you I will fuss over you and you can't stop me."

Moving to sit on his stomach completely abandoning the sheet that covered her modesty she shook her head, "Nuh uh, I don't want you to fuss so you won't fuss."

Smirking his view was amazing, "If I fuss will you stay sat there? The view from down here is pretty sweet."

Smacking his chest she rolled off him and sat beside him clutching the sheet to her chest, "Pervert."

Sitting up he slipped his arm around her waist and rested his head on her shoulder, "I'm sorry, I don't want you to think badly of me."

"I don't, I was just teasing you."

Leaning into his embrace she closed her eyes, "So um, you didn't mind me coming a day early did you?"

Confused he didn't know why she would think he wouldn't be, "Do I look crazy? Stephanie having you here in my arms is amazing and I don't think it is anything but perfect that you are here with me right now. Do you want something to eat? We can get some room service."

"I'd love something to eat please, I haven't eaten since lunch."

Twenty minutes later and Stephanie was sat in his shirt whilst he had on just a pair of track pants as they ate their dinner in silence both knowing that soon they would have to go to bed and tomorrow would be another day where they would have to face everybody at work.

Pushing the room service trolley out into the hall he walked back in and shut the door, "So I guess we should think about going to bed soon but before we do I need to know how we are going to play things tomorrow?"

Shrugging her shoulders she wasn't sure what to say, "I don't know, the same way we played it last week I guess and not spend much time together in the buildings and just sneak into each other's hotel rooms late at night."

"You know this sneaking around is kind of hot, it's the whole element of danger with getting caught."

Crawling up the bed she climbed underneath the covers just wanting to be held, "It may be hot for you but I hate having to sneak around, I want to hold your hand in public or kiss you whenever I feel like it but seeing as I can't have that I am happy with this. Oh by the way, my Mom was grilling me about you on Friday, apparently she went by my house and the neighbour told her that she had seen the two of us leaving together and my Mom assumed that you had come to pick up your stuff. She wanted to know why I hadn't told her that you were at my house so often, why would I tell her?"

Sitting on the edge of the bed he wasn't sure exactly how she was going to react to this as it had been very hit and miss recently, "Because she's your Mom and I'm sure you normally tell her everything."

"But not about my relationships, I never tell her everything about them so I don't know why she thinks that you are different."

He could tell that there was so many unanswered questions that she had and he knew that he couldn't answer them, "Maybe because it is me, maybe because I work for your Dad that she thought that you would tell her everything and be completely open because she already knows me and because you had so much on the line?"

She hadn't thought of it from that point of view, "I guess you have a good point there. I have been nice to her since though and we have cleared the air between us but I didn't really like her snooping with the neighbour."

"Maybe it isn't her fault, maybe the neighbour just has a really big mouth and is one of those curtain twitcher people that likes the gossip?"

That was definitely something she would believe after her interactions with the neighbour, "Can you just stop please? You're making me feel bad about being cranky about this stuff as you're coming up with really logical explanations and reasonings behind it all and I don't like it."

Smiling he shuffled up the bed and got beneath the covers, "I'm sorry for talking sense, I didn't mean to make you feel bad at all."

Shrugging her shoulders it just made her realise how selfish she was being thinking of herself the entire time, "It's okay, I mean I shouldn't be so selfish should I? Maybe if I stopped being so selfish everything would be better."

"And maybe pigs would start flying. Steph you weren't being selfish so don't think like that, it is easy for me as an outsider to be able to come up with explanations, it happens to everyone in different situations and it isn't about being selfish, it is just about being in the middle of it."

Shifting in bed she crossed her legs and just wrapped her arms around them, "I hate this, I wish none of this shit where we had to break up had ever happened."

Turning around he crawled towards her, "But it did and now we have to live with it."

Watching him nervously as he got closer to her he didn't seem to be stopping and it made her nervous so she put her hands on top of the bed and stretched her legs out, "What are you doing?"

Smiling devilishly he stopped crawling when he was right on top of her, "Wouldn't you like to know?"

Raising her eyebrow she nodded her head slowly, "I actually would please."

Taking her hands he linked their fingers together before he raised them and gently pushed backwards forcing her to lay back on the bed, "Paul?"

Straddling her over the top of the covers she was laying under he kept her hands on the pillow as he bent forward, "We're not going to think about what could have been or what other people think of what is, when we are alone in the hotel room it is just you and I and we are going to enjoy each other."

Giggling she couldn't help it because of the way he had worded it despite it being a kind of serious conversation, "Are you going to punish me now?"

She seemed to be taking it all in the spirit it was meant and that was to cheer her up a little so he simply said the truth and what he wanted, "Well I could punish you but I was thinking I would rather just enjoy you."

Her hands were pinned to the bed and he was straddling her waist so she had no real movement available to her to get what she wanted so she did the only thing she could think of and she arched her back allowing her to bring her face closer to his, "Well if you want to enjoy me in the way I want to enjoy you then I am okay with that."

Pressing a soft kiss to her lips she moaned when he quickly released her one hand and slipped it behind her head holding her face to his as he deepened the kiss and slowly lowered her back to the bed, they didn't need to think of anybody else when they had each other.
