“Tom,” I whine.
“Tonight,” he murmurs. “Hang out and tonight you’re all mine.”
“I’m already yours.”
He looks at me softly and presses another kiss to my lips. I roll off him and watch as he heads to his bedroom to get ready.?
Tom’s been gone for half an hour and I’m already bored.
I miss him. Lazy Sundays are better when you have your boyfriend lying underneath you and judging reality TV stars together. I just sound like a mean arsehole doing it by myself.?
I hear the key in the front door and I perk up. Fuck that was quick. I’m glad the bedroom is the only place this man isn’t fast.
I run out into the hallway, but it is not Tom walking through the door, it’s Courtney.
And I’m still naked.
“Shit.” Her eyes slam closed and she holds up a hand to cover her face for good measure. “You’re naked!”
“Totally naked.”
She opens one eye and gives me a once over. “Nice one, Tom.”
I huff out a laugh. “Thanks, I think. Is everything okay? I thought you and Keegan were going to your sister’s?”?
“Yes, that’s why I’m here. She went into labour early so I need to go to the hospital because I’m her birthing partner. I’ve got Keegan in the car, I need to leave him with you guys. I’ll make it up to you.”
“You don’t have to make anything up. Having Keegan isn’t a hardship.”
“Yeah, but you’re in your honeymoon phase.”?
“Court, it’s fine. Better than fine,” I say before remembering an important detail. “Tom isn’t here though.”
“Shit,” she says for a third time.
“I’m happy to look after him if you’re okay with it. Tom’s doing a sponsorship thing but he’ll be back in a couple of hours.”
“Thank you, you’re a lifesaver.” She smiles and I may be totally gay, but I can see why Tom fell for her. She has the kind of smile that makes you feel like you’re the most important person in the world. “You might want to put some clothes on, though.”
“Fuck. Yeah, bring him in and I’ll be back in a mo.”I rush into Tom’s room and grab some joggers, socks, and a t-shirt.?
When I get back to the living room, I find Courtney has retrieved Keegan from the car and he’s already settled on the couch, avidly watching the footy highlights on the TV, the football I signed for him clutched in his arms. A furious heat hits my cheeks as I try in vain not to think about what his father and I were doing on that sofa less than an hour ago. Thank fuck for sixty-nine, right? At least there isn’t any crusty cum for him to sit in. Although I am uncomfortably conscious of my discarded boxer briefs lying under the coffee table. I’m really hoping I can grab them before he notices.
“Archie Milligan!” he cries, beaming at me as I step into the room.
“Hey, Keegan.”
“That’s my dad’s t-shirt,” he says matter-of-factly, eyeing my borrowed top. “I got it for him for Father’s Day.”
I didn’t pay close attention to the clothes I was putting on, simply grabbing the first t-shirt and bottoms I came across in Tom’s bureau. Glancing down now, however, I see the t-shirt hasNumber #1 Dadprinted across the white fabric. Well, if that isn’t the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen.
“Ah, yeah. He let me borrow some of his clothes because mine got…messy,” I explain.
Courtney lets out a little snort, which she expertly turns into a cough. Then she walks over to me, handing over a kids’ Pride F.C. backpack. “Here’s all his stuff. Tom should have everything he needs anyway, but just in case.”
I take it from her and offer a smile. “Thanks. I promise I’ll keep him alive.”
“Okay, bye baby,” she says to Keegan, striding over and wrapping her arms around him. “Be good for Archie.”
