All of Me (Sebastian Vettel)

35. The Day After

Seb opened his eyes slowly. He didn't want to wake up. He had been in the middle of a wonderful dream, a dream in which he'd been making love to Alyssa. Then he remembered. He had been making love to Alyssa. He smiled to himself as memories of the previous night came back to him .

After he'd carried her back to the house and upstairs to their bedroom, he'd taken her again, and then twice more through the night! He'd be surprised if she could walk normally this morning. He rolled onto his left side and reached out for her. The other side of the bed was empty.

He sat bolt upright. "Aly?" he called out. There was no answer. He jumped out of bed and walked naked over to the bathroom. She wasn't in there.

He put his dressing gown on and knotted the belt. Where was she? He hoped she wasn't having regrets about them.

He opened the bedroom door and stepped out onto the landing. He noticed straight away that her old  bedroom door was wide open. He walked over to it and stepped inside.

"Aly?" he called out.

"I'm in the bathroom. Hang on, I'll be there in a minute," came her reply.

He sat down on the end of the bed to wait for her.

The toilet flushed and a minute later the door opened. Alyssa came out wearing just one of his Foo Fighter T-shirts and a pair of black panties. Her hair was still hanging loose and sticking up in all directions. She looked adorable.

"Hey," she said, beaming at him. He felt reassured that she didn't regret a thing.

"I wondered where you were," he said, smiling at her.

"You thought I'd done a runner, didn't you?"

"It crossed my mind," he admitted. She perched on his lap, winding her arms around his neck.

"Never," she whispered, before pressing her lips to his.

"So what's wrong with our bathroom?" he asked after they ended the kiss.

"Nothing. It just didn't have what I needed."  He looked confused. "My period arrived," she explained. He groaned.

"Don't worry. There's other things we can do to keep us entertained," she told him.

"It's not that.   You mentioning your period made me realise that I didn't use protection.  Obviously you're
not pregnant as you got your period, but fuck, I was dumb.  I just forgot. I wanted you so desperately."

"Hey I forgot too.   I'm going to make a doctor appointment and go on the pill, or do you prefer condoms? If you're worried about STIs,  don't be.  I got checked out after I finally left Dean and there hasn't been anyone since."

"I'm clean too.  I always used protection with Tanya.  The pill sounds great. I hate condoms. Look, why don't you come back to bed? We can cuddle for a bit before getting up."

"I think your sheets may need washing. I don't know if I bled on them or not."

"I tell you what, jump in this bed. I'll check, then I'll go down and make us some breakfast."

"We can do that together can't we?"

"Aly, please. I want to bring you breakfast in bed. Let me spoil you."

Alyssa nodded her head. It was nice to feel spoiled. He kissed her quickly and disappeared back to his room. Less than a minute later he was back. "The sheets are fine."

"I'm getting in yours then. It's comfier than this one."

"Ours. Not mine."

"This is really going to take a bit of getting used to."
