Chapter 8: I'm hungry
After hours of sitting on the couch and talking Matt and Kelly thought it was best to call it a day. Outside it was still pouring with rain. Around 1am they decided to go to sleep. Matthew had showed her the guest room and handed her some towels and a robe of his. He also picked out one of his shirts for Kelly to sleep in. 'Thank you for letting me stay', she said. 'Anytime, Kel. Goodnight.' Kelly smiled at him and placed a soft kiss on his right cheek. 'Goodnight.'
It was 4am and Matthew hadn't been able to sleep at all. What if that loud thunder hadn't interrupted them earlier that evening? Would she have stayed the night if it hadn't been raining. Why did she ask him if he was happy? He also wondered if Kelly was still awake. At around 3am he got his answer. He heard Kelly talking on her phone. He wondered who she was talking to. 'Mommy loves you, remember. – Take care of your sister, Hermes. Don't fight, okay? – Bubye – See you soon, honey – I love you'. As soon as he heard she was finished calling Daniel and her children, he wanted to go to her so badly. He wanted to hold her and comfort her and tell her everything would be alright. He didn't.
It was 7am when Matthew woke up. He had fallen asleep after all. He got up, put some clothes on and went to wake Kelly. They both had to be on set today. He knocked on the door of the guest room but there was no answer. He opened the door a little and whispered: 'Kel?' Still no response. He opened the door a little further and saw she was still fast asleep. She was lying on her left side with both her hands tucked under her left cheek. Her right leg which seemed never-ending was on top of the sheets. God, she was breathtaking. Matthew went over to her side of the bed and tried to be as silent as possible when he sat down next to her. He brushed some golden hair from her face and softly kissed her right cheek. Kelly stirred and turned lightly. Matt's face was now right in front of hers. Kelly's eyes began to flutter.
'Matt', she hissed with a sleep drunk voice. 'I'm right here', he replied. 'I'm hungry.' 'Good, me too'. Their reactions couldn't have been more in sync. Matt quickly lowered his head while Kelly lifted hers. Their lips met somewhere in the middle. Seconds passed until Kelly had to catch her breath. She opened her mouth a little further and inhaled some air, all the while never losing contact with Matt's lips. Suddenly she felt his hand caressing her right leg; he started softly at her ankle, stroked her calf and stopped for a moment when he reached her knee. He drew a lazy circle on her kneecap before continuing his way up. When he reached her thigh, his touch became more muscular. He let his hand roam to the inside of her legs and forcefully grabbed her thigh. Kelly moaned and once more she had to reach for oxygen. She wrapped her right arm around Matt's neck and pulled him closer. Matthew climbed on the bed with her. His hand still on the inside of her leg. 'Matt', she hissed. 'Sttt, Kel.' He kissed her again with even more passion this time. Kelly was taken aback by his force which was perfect for Matthew to roll her onto her back and to roll himself on top of her. He let go of her thigh and drew his hands all the way up along her waist, he grabbed the hem of his shirt on her body and pulled it over her head. The piece of clothing flew through the room as soon as it had left Kelly's body. He used both of his hands to take her hands and pin them above her head. 'God', she moaned. Matt started to kiss the side of her neck before he slowly started his way downward. He blew kisses on her breasts, paying equal attention to both her breasts before he went to her stomach. At that moment he lost his grip on her arms. Kelly immediately let her hands wander to Matt's hair while he licked a trail around her bellybutton. 'Matt, maybe we shouldn …'. Matt stopped for a moment and crawled back up her body. He stared deeply into her eyes, he kissed her ever so gently without closing his eyes pleading to keep her eyes opened as well. Kelly felt so touched in this moment. She kissed him more vigorously and rolled them over so she was on top. She slowly started to unbutton his shirt. Her eyes never leaving his. He gave her a soft smile but Kelly's face was dead serious. After she got rid of his shirt, she went for his belt. She pulled the zipper of his trousers down and climbed off of him to slowly pull down his pants. She sat on her knees and pulled it all the way down and over his feet.
It seemed Kelly was just realizing what they were doing. She was only in her panties and seeing him lie there with just his boxers on was too much of a risk for her. She stilled. Matt saw the look on her face and sat up on his knees. The only thing between him and Kelly now was his discarded pair of jeans. He picked it up and threw it off the bed. He grabbed both of Kelly's hands. 'What's wrong?', he asked softly while crawling closer so the middle region of their bodies touched. 'I'm scared', she admitted. 'Of what?' 'Losing you', she dropped her head while she spoke the words. Matt used his index finger to lift her face, looked into her eyes, kissed her and was able to pronounce in between kisses: 'You won't'. The determination in his voice was enough for Kelly to believe he wouldn't ever leave her. Kelly answered his kisses by opening her mouth further. Their tongues were dueling while their hands were searching for the perfect place. Kelly eventually rested her arms around his neck, while Matt placed his hands on Kelly's butt cheeks. He pinched them both which caused Kelly to sigh in Matt's mouth. Matt was the first to break their marathon of kisses. He lay down on his back, still holding Kelly's hands in his, pulling her down with him. They were both lying on their sides, Matt on his left and Kelly on her right, facing each other and looking into each other's eyes. 'Are you sure', Matt asked while Kelly took his hand and placed it on her pelvis. She nodded slowly and closed her eyes.
Matt climbed on top of her. He planted a single soft kiss on her forehead. Then on her eyelids, both of her cheeks, the tip of her cute nose, and finally her chin. Next he took care of her neck before he slowly went down. While kissing her stomach his hands roamed her chest before letting them slide to where her panties began. He put his finger underneath the waistband and pulled her panties down but not without kissing her legs, knees and feet while doing so. When he got rid of the panties, he crawled on top of her, kissed her lips and grabbed her left leg with his right arm. He pulled it up and draped it across his lower back. Kelly let her hands grab his chest before she slowly went to his boxers. She slid them off of his butt with her hands. Her feet did the rest of the work. The tip of his erection touching her entrance ensured him she was ready for him. Nothing was in their way. There was no returning now.
They both looked into each other's eyes as Matt slowly entered her. Her back arched and she lifted her head a little and hid her face into Matt's neck. Her left leg was still draped around Matt's lower back while her other legs was slowly stroking the calf of his left leg. Matthew pulled out slowly and entered her again; going as deep as he possibly could. A moan escaped from Kelly's throat. She moved her hips upward a little to indicate she wanted more. Matt started moving his hips a little faster now. His elbows were resting next to Kelly's head. He ran his hands through her hair while gradually picking up the pace of his lovemaking. Kelly kissed Matt's shoulder, then his cheek and finally his lips. 'Make me cum', she ordered him in between kisses. 'Make us both cum'. Matt wanted to prolong their lovemaking as much as he could. He was so happy they were finally together in a way they both needed to be. And he was scared that Kelly would shut him out again after it was all over. He pulled out of her almost entirely. He waited. Kelly's eyes sought his while he stilled above her, with his tip still inside of her. She looked at him with questioning eyes. 'I love you, Kel' was all he could muster while sliding all the way into her again. He had said it. He knew he meant it. He loved her with all his heart. She didn't say it back; she didn't need to. He knew. He moved faster which caused both of their breathing to get more and more ragged. Kelly's body began to shake and he felt she was close. He pounded his hips harder and harder. Kelly grabbed the covers of the bed and lifted her head to kiss him fully on the lips. She let her head fall backwards onto the pillow as she screamed his name; Matt felt he was close too. Kelly's clenched lower body clung to Matthew's as she climaxed. She lifted her head again to kiss his lips tiredly. It was what she whispered softly in his ear that pushed him over the edge together with her: 'I love you too'.
Matt's body collapsed onto hers; tired from giving his all. Her hands as well as her legs were lazily draped among his lower back as they lay there, heavily breathing and panting. Matt raised his head to share a long soft kiss with the woman he had loved for 5 years. Matt could distinguish a glimpse of a tear in Kelly's eyes. Not a word was spoken as he turned to his side, pulling her with him so that her head was now resting on Matt's arm. They just lay there; on their sides, facing each other with their bodies still entwined. Kelly was too overwhelmed by her emotions to say anything. He brushed a lock of hair from her forehead and tucked it behind her ear before pulling her closer; she buried her face in his shoulder and hugged him. He could feel her soft wet mouth on his chest. While he rested his chin on top of her head, he could feel her shiver; a contrast to the hot wet tears he felt on his chest. He pulled the sheets over both of them and soothingly stroked her back while he let her sob for what they just lost. In the midst of sunrise, their friendship had come to its unavoidable end, they had become lovers.
