I moaned softly, and turned around as I pulled Catherine into my arms. “What would I do without you?”

“Stand under the shower alone, I guess.” She answered with a smirk.

We both laughed; “Yeah probably…”

We started kissing and soon hands were exploring each other’s body.

“You know what’s funny? I’ve been alone for so long and now I’m living with you and Linds and I can’t remember what it was like before when there was no one to come home too.”

“Hmm, but that is a good thing right?” Catherine asked while she continued attacking my body with small kisses and bites.

“Of course it is.” I kiss her back. “Do you even need to ask?”

“Nah, don’t need to, but I like to hear it from you.” She smiled from ear to ear. “I know what you mean, after Eddie it has always been Linds and me. Feels good to have some one else in my life again.” Catherine grabbed my hand and stepped backward out of the shower as she pulled me with her. She wrapped one of the towels around me and the other one around herself.

Back in bed, we talked for a while, until silence settled upon us, neither sure what to say next. It wasn’t an unpleasant silence but it was weird. I felt like breaking it when Catherine watched me silently as if she was trying to read my mind. She lifted herself onto one arm and moved closer to me. She moved a strand of hair behind my ear and smiled. The blanket slowly moved down her shoulder uncovering her beautiful body.

I was leaning in to kiss her when Catherine stopped me. She never stopped me if I wanted to kiss her, well not unless there was a reason, a really good reason. But all I could see shimmering through her eyes was an insecure look.

Chapter 15

A real family

The insecurity in her eyes made me wonder; made me insecure. This was it. She was breaking up with me. She didn’t want me anymore.

“Don’t you want me anymore, oh god that’s it!”
