Chapter 21

Bruno could have fallen asleep there and then. But he knew he needed to feed his girlfriend .

He beamed to himself.

"What kind of food do you want? I'll get it delivered."

She grinned. "Pizza"

He laughed . "Jeez, that was easy."

She kissed him. "I'm a girl who knows what she wants. Unlike some people ."

He held her back. "Tammy, don't say that. You have to know. I always wanted you. That first Saturday, at my place, when you showed up drunk on rum and had to sleep it off? If you hadn't have been so drunk, you actually might have convinced me"

She laughed. "Honestly, it's one of the main reasons I'm not that mad about Levi & Cherry. Because I was basically doing the same thing with you. Just... emotionally . And just because you and I never acted on it physically didn't make it any better. So I did kind of feel like a bit of a hypocrite. Because I was definitely cheating on him emotionally. Realistically... I know I should have ended it with him long before we moved to Liverpool."

He kissed her deeply. "You still didn't deserve for him to be constantly cheating on you though."

And then he paused

"If you had ended it when his team moved, would you have still moved back to Liverpool?"

She thought for a moment, and then shook her head.

He pondered the possibility of her never having moved back. "Well it's a good fucking thing you didn't break up with him then"

Bruno texted Cora to ask if she was home tonight, and she sent a devil emoji and an eggplant emoji back. He laughed, and texted her back, telling her to say hi to Will.

So when their pizza arrived, they crashed out on the couch, barely dressed.

They turned on the TV, but barely paid attention to it. He couldn't stop looking at her as she ate her pizza. It felt so normal. So natural. He'd seen her eat pizza many times when she'd come over to hang out. But it felt different.

Everything was different in the best way. Because now she was his girlfriend. He could kiss her mid-pizza if he wan...

He leaned over and kissed her. She froze, a little surprised, but giggled.

"If you want a bite of my pizza you can have some"

He laughed. "It just keeps throwing me that I can kiss you whenever I want."

She smiled at him. "Whenever, wherever"

Bruno immediately broke into the Shakira song, complete with impression, making Tammy laugh so hard she almost choked on her food.

"I was trying to be cute!" She laughed.

"Baby, you don't have to try, you're adorable"

She froze.

"What?"

"You called me baby!"

Bruno looked at her, "Oh, sorry, do you not like it?"

Tammy picked up her pizza box and put it on the coffee table. Then she took his and put it on top of hers. He wondered what she was doing, but she threw her arms around his neck, and kissed him passionately.

Wow, okay, she likes it then?

He wrapped his arms around her waist, and she pushed him down onto the couch, laying on top of him. She kissed him again and again, softly, as he moaned into her.
