“Fuck Lauren, are you ever not wet?”
“Not when I’m around you baby, now shut up and f*ck me”
It’s short and sweet and exactly what we each needed. We giggle like children after as we wriggle up the bed like a pair of crabs together, still joined, trying to reach the box of tissues on the bed side table so we can clean ourselves up. We put our clothes back on and in place and stay lying back on the bed.
“Are we good Lauren?”
I turn my head towards him and smile, how could I not be good after that sweet little orgasm? My insides are still trembling.
“We’re more than good Gabe, we’re f*cking perfect” He brushes his knuckles over my cheek.
“I love you Lauren Day, let’s just enjoy ourselves, let's get drunk and put all of this shit away until we are on our own and we can talk properly”
I climb over and straddle him; I hold his face in my hands and kiss him on the mouth.
“I love you Gabriel Wilde, thanks for the f*ck, now take me upstairs, get me drunk, and I might let you do it to me again later”
He throws me off him and onto my back on the bed, before pulling me up by my hand; we unlock the door and step out to champagne popping and Gabe’s, brothers, sister and sisters in law all cheering.
CHAPTER FOURTEEN
Jackie makes her excuses with a headache shortly after the football finishes and goes off to bed. The rest of our night continues raucously. We turn up the music and have a dance once all the younger kids have been put to bed. Zac and Cooper have eight kids between them. Eight! Four each. Zac has two boys and two girls, Cooper also has two of each, including a girl and a boy who are twins!
We bring the play station downstairs and put on the sing star. We even get Charlie up singing; we sing a version of Don’t go breaking my heart together and later on I show him how you shake it like a polaroid picture, when the Outkast song comes on, then Ava, Sam and I stand in a row, shaking our backsides as much as we can, trying to teach him to twerk, we are laughing hysterically. Poor Charlie, he doesn’t know where to look and bids us all good night and goes off to bed. Despite being in his sixties, he is still a very good looking man, I can see why Jackie would be attracted to him, although, knowing what I do about her, Charlie’s money would have been a factor too, I am sure.
Jen is really good on the Sing Star, apparently she sings in a band. Sophie and Ava and Zacs eldest two boys Louie and Charlie Junior, or CJ as he’s known, being a bit older than the other children have joined us and are in hysterics at our antics and continuously film and take photos of us on their phones. Every time I sing, Gabe shakes his head and puts his fingers in his ears. Despite how bad I am at singing, I still come Runner-up. I've played this game a lot of times and know it’s nothing to do with how good or bad your voice is, but I'm not going to tell Gabe this. Cooper appears with a guitar and Ava starts shouting at Gabe to play. Gabe plays guitar? Well it has been a day of revelations. We all settle down on the sofas with our drinks as Gabe and Jen decide what they will perform for us and as soon as he strums the first note, I know what the song is, Jen starts to sing, her voice is amazing. It’s the Pretenders I Go To Sleep, the song he sang into my ear on the night we met. They then sing Birdy’s Skinny Love, followed by Adele’s Chasing Pavements. Ava begs her dad for a One Direction song but Jen doesn’t know any lyrics so instead she sings Simply Reds, For Your Babies and they dedicate it to all the Wilde children and I hold it together until Ava says
“And to Laurens babies, they’re big but they are still her babies, what are their names again Lauren? One of them lives in London and we watched him on the TV playing rugby, Sonny, that’s it Sonny, he’s hot and so is the other one Ryder, Sophie likes him, don’t you Soph?” “Ava!” Sophie shrieks, obviously embarrassed.
Luckily the lights are out and we only have candles burning so I don’t make too much of an idiot of myself as Gabe plays and Jen sings and I cry. Gabe hands over guitar duties to Coop after that and comes and sits with me.
“You okay? Sorry about Ava, that child has no filter between her brain and her mouth”
“Yes Gabe, I know, she takes exactly after her father, that’s why I love her”
He sits behind me and pulls me between his legs and we share a bottle of Bailys and listen to Jen sing everything from the Beetles, Bob Dylan and The Eagles to Pink, Skylar Grey and Ed Sheeran. I must nod off as the next thing I remember is Gabe guiding me to the bedroom.
When I wake on Sunday it’s after ten, Gabe is nowhere in sight. My head is pounding and I still have cramps but no sign of my period. I shower and pull on the comfy clothes I brought with me for Sunday. I pull my hair up, put on a bit of makeup, and head upstairs. The boys are out on the balcony. Jackie is in the kitchen organising breakfast with Sam and Jen.
“Good morning” I say cheerily, I get a morning reply from all of them, except Jackie. Sam makes me a coffee.
“How's your head Diva?” She asks with a smile
“Pretty ordinary actually” We chat about the fun we had the night before and I ask Jen about the band she's in. Jackie remains silent. The other girls go quiet and I know he's approaching, I can feel him, I actually shudder with the tremor that runs through me. He turns me around and wraps me in his arms and kisses the top of my head
“Good morning beautiful, did you sleep well? You smell f*cking lovely, I was going to come and get back in bed with ya but we have a lot to do today”
