Chapter 15 – Unexpected
They sat opposite each other at a wooden table with a chequered plastic tablecloth and stared onto their plates full of pasta. But whereas Gerry, after glancing at her, started to coil up stacks of spaghetti around his fork, Tamsin kept staring at her plate and poked deadly serious at the noodles as if they were poisonous snakes.
From the happenings during the past thirty minutes Gerry drew the conclusion that she was not the ideal person to be rescued by anyone, as she had no obvious inclination to show any sign of gratitude.
More precisely she had allowed him to take her into his arms, but soon freed herself and mumbled something that could have been “you’re wonderful Gerry” but then admittedly it had sounded more like “I need some food Gerry”. Well, it was a start…kind of. But she had also since then completely avoided to look at him and the whole situation started to seriously bug Gerry.
He fished the slice of lemon out of his glass of water, loaded his fork and once finished with his preparations addressed her calmly “hey, Tamsin…” When she looked up he released the fork tip, the lemon flew in a beautiful arch over the table and got caught in her hair.
A grinning Gerry saw her expression go through the emotions of surprise, anger and then he observed how at first the left corner of her mouth was drawn up in a smirk, soon joined by the right corner as she picked the lemon out of the strand of hair where it kept dangling happily.
“OK. Why do I have the feeling I deserved this?”
”Hm. Just to clarify, that was a rhetorical question, right?” Gerry retorted and without waiting for a response went on “OK now that’s out of the way, where do I start honey. For once you are supposed to show gratefulness when a knight in shining armour offers his broad chest. Then you proceed to break down in tears…you know rivers of tears not a few e pathetic half-angry tears.”
Taking a deep breath he continued “the most important part follows thereafter, when the two meet in the most romantic and passionate kiss ever. You – the Lady - overcome by wild desire for your knight, swear to love him until your end of days. Then you look up into his intense, beautiful eyes and he holds you in his strong, well-muscled arms and sweeps you away to lala-land where the two live happily ever after” he ended with a satisfied chuckle.
Tamsin looked at him blandly “where’s your horse? You are supposed to bring a big white horse. Girls love horses you know.”
**
When Gerry dropped her off at work a little later, both were joking around and he wrapped her in his arms giving her no chance to protest, kissed her hotly right in front of the entrance, the door opening and closing frequently behind them as they were positioned right in the middle of the sensor field.
There was no space for any thought about colleagues seeing the two of them kissing enthusiastically in front of the agency, all Tamsin knew was that this felt so damn good. The way he took her upper lip between his, then proceeded to her lower lip and went on to push his tongue impatiently into her mouth. She sucked on its tip and when he groaned into her mouth hot desire rushed through her stomach like lava.
He pulled away from her but was still close enough for Tamsin to feel their hot breath mix. A person in a black suit entered her peripheral field of vision and she stepped back from Gerry. The suit said “excuse me” with an expression of utter disapproval about this public display of passion written all over his face.
Gerry bridged the gap again, wore a wicked grin and leaned close enough for her to feel his breath tickling her ear “I hope you don’t work with this guy”. She giggled “no, thank god I’ve never seen him before”.
~
Once back in her office she took a deep breath and dived for her mobile when it began to ring.
”Hi again” Gerry’s voice greeted her.
She laughed “Hi. Long time no hear. What’s up?”
“Erm, I just wanted to know whether you’re free tomorrow night…evening I mean. I’ll be finished 9-ish and we could meet afterwards. I still owe you that dinner to make up for the hardship in the kitchen from our last date.”
He quickly added “I also promise to get a double espresso first thing so I don’t fall fast asleep with my face on my dinner plate.”
Tamsin said thoughtfully while holding back a snicker “why do I have the feeling it’s a bad sign that you are afraid to fall asleep on our dates…”
“Is that a yes?”
She smirked at the phone “Hmmm…ok yes Gerry”.
“Great. I’ll be there at 9…oh and honey…I hope you will be able to greet me properly this time and not run away to hiss busily at your mum when I arrive.”
She chuckled “Yeah, yeah…alright. See you”.
At this precise moment her boss stormed through her door and looked angrily at her. Her smile was dying a quick death on her lips. David barked at her “Where the heck have you been? We’ve been waiting for you! How could you forget our meeting with a potential customer. COME ON!!! Move it, will you? This is important!”
She put away her mobile and followed her boss without a word. Upon entering the meeting room Tam nearly doubled over…there was the guy in the black suit who had moments ago witnessed their kiss. He stared at her with a hostile expression on his face and their introduction to each other and the whole meeting seemed one big blurry mess to her.
When it was all over, nothing terrible had happened, but half an hour later David once more stomped into her office. Without prior warning he started to shout at her “what the fuck have you been thinking? Mr. Martin has told me in confidence that he is very disappointed about the behaviour of certain staff. Guess who he is talking about!!! I can’t believe that you’ve obviously been late cause you’ve been snogging some guy in front of our ENTRANCE! We could have well lost that project cause of your irresponsible behaviour and we have been flippin lucky he still chose us!”
Without giving her a chance to respond he turned on the spot and stomped back out of the office, turning back for a moment “I certainly don’t need to mention that you’ve been removed from the project team.”
When she left work at 7pm there was a feeling of utter unhappiness weighing her down. She had clearly failed. Not only because of today’s disaster, but also when she took into account how unhappy she had been there for a good while now. But this day had just been too much.
She needed to be alone and not even glancing at her cell phone, Tamsin turned it off. She decided that his was a time for good old friends. A whole season of Sex and the City, a bottle of Chardonnay and a tub of Häägen Dazs cookies n’ cream. The half-empty bottle beside her, an empty Häägen Dazs beside her and the TV still running she finally fell asleep after midnight.
She woke up in the middle of the night, traipsed into her bedroom and coiled herself into a ball. Then she had to admit that she wished for Gerry to be there. It would have been quite nice to be held and being told that everything would be alright. Maybe Gerry was right b saying that she needed to learn to trust her friends more. But like many a true fact, this was easier said than done…
**
The next day at work went by without any major problems, although her heart had been racing when she spoke to David about the whole mess. He had been fairly nice but when she left the building in the evening, she felt so relieved that the weekend had finally arrived. She was even happy about her mum calling to ask whether she would come down to their garden party. Tamsin decided to go down to Kent on Saturday morning and return to London on Sunday evening.
**
When Gerry arrived that night she felt relieved and could not help but give him a big smile when she saw him skipping up the stairs. He nearly knocked her over when he hastily enveloped her in his arm and at the same time took her mouth with his. Warm lips devouring hers as if he needed to taste her as completely as possible.
Tamsin moved closer into his embrace and when she opened her mouth greedily he trust his tongue into her mouth without hesitation and closed the last small gap between their bodies. Hot tongues clashing, hot breath and saliva mixing, excited bodies pressed against each other. Thoroughly entangled they forgot about everything around them.
Deeply caught in their own world yet again, he panted into her mouth just as she panted into his. His tongue filled her mouth as he moves his groin against her in an unconscious motion. Gerry was already hard and she responded with a groan.
Her hands found his back and she pulled at his shirt to no avail. Slipping her hands underneath it she found smooth skin. He pulled him closer and felt his eager erection press demandingly against her sex. Just as she started to run her hands firmly further up his back and moved against him desperately wanting to feel more of him, he pulled away from her all of a sudden. Gerry rested his forehead against hers, breathing heavily and hot into her still half opened mouth.
”If you’re not planning to have sex right here on your doorstep, we have to stop right now” Gerry drawled after letting out a ragged breath to regain control. His words made her somewhat snap out of her all consuming arousal and after some hesitation she sighed “well I hope that counts as a proper greeting” and pushed away from him.
Gerry leaned his head against the cool wall and wondered why he had just done what he had done. Damn! What the heck was happening? Was he losing his mind?
Tamsin shouted from the kitchen whether he wanted a glass of water. He silently entered the kitchen and took the glass from her extended hand “I rather need another cold shower honey”
She smirked at that remark “yeah, the shower we had last time was not too bad.”
Then she added with a slightly shaky voice “but we better get going otherwise we…erm…won’t make it even out of the door.”
Gerry bridged the short distance between them and kissed her short and hard before suggesting huskily “maybe we should stay in”.
Tamsin slithered out of his grip “as tempting as it is, I think we should go and get some food. Remember, you promised to compensate me for our last date.”
”I could find other ways to compensate you” Gerry replied hotly.
She grabbed his hand and dragged him towards the door ”come on now I have a great idea for dinner”.
He growled “if it doesn’t involve me having you for dessert I won’t be satisfied”
**
An hour later they were both sitting in the “Greek Valley”. Gerry, after bragging that he could catch an olive with his mouth, had an olive-green stain on his white shirt. Nonetheless he demanded to get another chance to prove that it was just her incapability to throw properly, which had resulted in him missing the olive by a few millimetres.
Shortly after, the next olive was on its way rolling under their neighbour’s table and thus both decided to focus on their newly arrived mains. “Hey let me try some of that lamb of yours” Gerry said and opened his mouth expectantly. Tamsin fed him a piece and got some of his Souvlaki in return.
Just as they were staring silently into each others eyes - the tension in the air was nearly tangible - one of the Greek waiters approached them. “Hopa” he motioned excitedly. They had not even realised that the CD had been replaced by fast Greek music. Most of their fellow diners were already up and dancing in a circle to the music which constantly picked up in pace. Although Gerry groaned, he followed her to join the others and soon both were laughing and dancing…or rather hopping around.
Later, when both fell back onto their chairs panting and with red cheeks, Gerry dragged his chair closer to hers, cupped her left cheek, kissed her softly and played with strands loosened by the wild dancing “…you sure we shouldn’t go home now and have our dessert there?” She sat back in her chair and was thus out of his reach.
”Gerry, can you please wait for a little longer? Please.” He leaned back too and looked seriously at her as if he were contemplating whether all this was really worth it. Tamsin felt like some sort of justification was needed and without stopping once, told him about the disaster at work, the shouting match and how she had been removed from the team.”
Although he was not exactly happy about this new obstacle, he felt bad for being part of the cause that had resulted in the meltdown. “Listen Tam I am so sorry, I started that and you alone have to pay for it.”
She broke in “stop it, it’s not your fault. I’ll go to my parent’s tomorrow and on Monday I’ll be fine again. Don’t worry.” He decided she would most likely kill him attempted he to comfort her in any physical or verbal way in public once more. She looked scarily determined not to let any emotion show on her face. So he decided to let her be.
”You’ll be away for the weekend then” Gerry asked with a slightly disappointed undertone. “Yeah. But on the upside, that party will surely make me feel happy about the prospect to return to work on Monday.”
He snickered “Parents. You love them to bits but they can drive you crazy too. Anyway, pity you’re away but we can hook up some time next week…if you want.”
**
Later, when they were standing on the street in front of the restaurant both hesitated visibly. Gerry was the one to break the silence “I don’t want to let you go yet” and embraced her in a close hug.
Tamsin felt herself shiver as Gerry’s hands wandered. His closeness alone was enough to set her body on fire and his every touch was fuel to the flames.
When she hung her head to disguise the arousal that was clearly written onto her face, he put his chin on top of her head and sighed “I have to get up at 6 tomorrow morning and drive up to Cambridge” After a short pause he grumbled “I’m also going crazy if we continue like this much longer”.
All Tamsin thought was how much she wanted him. Feel him, taste him, hear him moan and had he not just said that he needed to go home to get up early, she would have not been able to resist any longer. So all she said was “me too”. He looked at her questioningly with surprise and interest written all over his face. She pulled a face at him “don’t look at me as if I were Miss frigid in person…”
A huge, triumphant grin spread over Gerry’s handsome face “I KNEW that you would not be able to resist me much longer. But now you should go to your bed and I to mine” and having said that, he abruptly turned around, and left Tamsin planted to the spot.
Gerry turned around still beaming and impatiently motioned for her to join him. He grabbed her hand when she was close enough and dragged her towards his car. Once they reached it he opened the door of his TT for her and she plopped down on the seat trying to arrange her thoughts into some kind of order.
**
They spent the drive to her place mostly in silence, but without the silence being an uncomfortable one. Gerry stopped the car in front of her door, looked at her expectantly and Tamsin felt all of a sudden insecure, not knowing what to do. Gerry in turn concluded that she was not about to do anything anytime soon and leaned over to kiss her deeply and slowly without the hardness of kisses driven by raw desire.
She leaned into his kiss, his seductive lips and put a hand onto the nape of his neck, slowly stroking two fingers over the short hair there. With her other hand she stroked his smooth skinned hard chest under the shirt. Gerry nibbled at her lip but seconds later all slowness, deliberateness was yet again replaced by urgency. His tongue seemed to leap forward perfectly synchronised with his hand that teased her nipple through the thin layer of cloth.
He opened his mouth, out a loud groan and kneading her breasts, stroking her nipples. They seemed to hardens immediately, lustfully erect under his fingers. Tamsin moaned deep down in her throat and as if this was the sign his body had been waiting for, he tried to move closer but was held back by his still closed seat belt.
Gerry groaned and threw himself back into his seat, eyes shut and once again tried to steady his breath “go” he commanded and when there was no immediate reaction he added urgently and steely “now!”. She opened her door and closed it hesitantly. Gerry sat perfectly still in his seat, not looking at her.
**
Once she lay in her bed with closed eyes, thoughts of Gerry kept spinning in her head and there was no escaping them and after she had finally fallen asleep, there was nothing but Gerry in her sleep.
There was Gerry kissing her passionately, his tongue thrusting into her mouth, Gerry’s naked body beside her, his erection pressing into her soft flesh, his large hands stroking her body.
Gerry entering her, filling her and thrusting into her, his moans, his tongue playing with hers and his hot tongue licking her sex slowly and maddeningly until she came crying his name out loud and arching her body into his all-satisfying tongue.
When she awoke from her despiteful alarm the next morning, she groaned and felt like she had not gotten any sleep at all. She decided that this self-induced situation was indeed driving her crazy.
**
By noon she had arrived at her parents’ house in Staplehurst after a seemingly endless journey. Her dad collected her from the station and her mother was already whizzing around the kitchen when Tamsin entered the sun flooded large kitchen of her childhood.
Her mother rushed towards her daughter and hugged her so tightly that Tamsin nearly had to gasp for air once she was released. Soon she had been instructed about what she was supposed to do before the first guests arrived later in the afternoon.
A distinct vibration in the pocket of her pants made her drop the dough of the olive bread onto the baking tray. Looking at her fingers that were covered in dough and flour, she quickly cleaned one on the back of her jeans, which she would anyway soon need to exchange for a more adequate garment.
Her heart skipped a beat when she saw that the caller was Gerry. “Hi” she answered quickly. “Hey you…are you already at your parent’s?”
“Yeah, I am already covered in flour trying to follow my mum’s instructions of how to make an Olive & Italian Herb Ciabatta.”
Tamsin tried to redirect the conversation “so how are you? Are you still in Cambridge?”
Gerry seemed not to listen to her question ”why didn’t I get invited to your parent’s party? Maybe I’d have liked to come along!”
Tamsin snickered “I am not stupid enough to take you serious on this. You want to make me all apologetic and excuse my rudeness and then you’ll say that you would have been delighted to come but unfortunately cannot because you have to wash your car or something.”
”Now these assumptions are rude honey” Gerry retorted sounding a little insulted. Tamsin sighed “Gerry do you want to come to my parent’s party? No? Fine. Discussion over. See, I really have to continue to knead this bread dough otherwise my mum will start to lecturing me about how I’ll never be a good wife…er…well…”
Gerry stopped her monologue “listen I am in my car on my way back to London…why don’t you let me stop by. It’s hardly one and a half hours from where I am now. Or are you ashamed of me?” he teased.
Tamsin was speechless. “Hello?” Gerry’s voice said inquiringly “are you still there? Hey I really start to wonder whether you have a secret boyfriend or are afraid your parents will absolutely hate me!”
Tamsin had half recovered from the shock and asked blandly “you really want to stop by?” “Yes” Gerry said in a slightly impatient tone.
“Ok, ok Gerry… I just didn’t take you down as the…type to do such things”
“Not the type?…OK…whatever…you can be really…weird sometimes Tam”
“Thanks Gerry” and She gave her parent’s address to him.
“I like Staplehurst. See you soon”
