A WINTER'S TALE

They fell on bed and in less than five minutes they started to snore in each other's ear happily. At noon they made it up properly in the shower, under the water splashing over their bodies. Tarek noticed amused that it was the first time they shared a shower, while he was tasting his wet back and fondled his legs up and down, down and up, endlessly.

- I thought you would never lower your guard with me -Enzo whispered laying on the sofa.

- There was no need to surprise me -Tarek lied cheeky, with Enzo curled up in his lap-. You are the constant surprise in my life -he purred happy.

- Don't be such a liar. You made me sweat blood with that bullshit of being friends. Won't you love me again?

- I've never stopped loving you, you silly.

- I do love you.

Tarek smiled as he kissed his hair and pillowed his head against his neck.

- This is the most beautiful Sunday in all my life. I'm telling you before it ends.

- Oh, love. Really?

- Well, no. The most beautiful day was my first comunion.

Enzo rolled his eyes and hugged him kissing his cheeks and his neck. Laughing joyfully.

Tarek retraced his steps to Marygold Alley, bringing his things and Greta in again to settle there with his love. After that fast and intense trip they returned dying with love for each other and wanting so badly starting a new life together. It was a totally new experience for Enzo after living together with Pauline. It was such a long time. He didn't remember what a serious relationship with the future in mind was about.

It was beautiful having him every morning in his bed on waking up. Despite he always woke him because he got up very early to work, it didn't worry him at all at the beginning. He demanded him to run all his body with kisses before leaving and things like that. Tarek had to get used to that intense man but he already loved him madly.

Enzo adored Christmas and sharing it for the first time as couple was great. Tarek had to submit himself to intense shopping sprees for that special date. The list of people to give presents was very long and Enzo was good at chosing the right present. But he was very insecure too and needed the constant support of Tarek. So the latter feared whenever he said, "Let's go shopping" and now was very often.

Another important aspect of Christmas was trimming the Christmas tree, something he delegated to Tarek and the arrangement of several dinners and lunchs to his closest friends.

- Merry Christmas, my dear -Enzo greeted kissing him on waking up.

- Merry Christmas.

- Our first Christmas together. You know what? You are the most beautiful Christmas gift I have ever had.

Tarek didn't know quite well how to reply those romantic words so natural in Enzo. The usual thing was flushing like an idiot.

- Have you thought about the New Years Eve dinner? Who will you invite?

- I suppose the same people as Christmas Eve.

- I would like to invite my ex boyfriend Steve. Would you mind?

He noticed Enzo was speechless. He had never thought he could propose him such a thing. Tarek, despite his strong personality, used to bend over Enzo's decisions. His friends were already his friends and Enzo didn't feel obliged to suggest him bring out his own friends at home.

He didn't like Steve would step into the house but he tried to be reasonable taking into account of Tarek was friend of his ex, Pauline and Taron.

Tarek checked out the indifference he showed with his ex boyfriend but he didn't say anything. He thought it was his pathologic jealousy because Enzo was a polite person and a magnificent host. After the dinner at home they went out to clubs in London. Tarek didn't part with Steve because he was the only one he knew. He didn't do it with a wicked purpose but Enzo, inflamed with jealousy choose to flirt whoever he met. Tarek lost his trace for a while and on asking Tarek his whereabouts, he pointed out the dance floor where he saw him dancing and rubbing up against other man. The boy was a curly blonde hair with green eyes. A good-looking guy. But somewhat flashy and drunk or high. Or both. Enzo was very high that night too.
