The Back Up Benefit

Take Me Home

After the show we headed home in a taxi. I did my best to keep my hands off Ricky until we were nearly home. We spent most of the journey talking about the show until I made the first move. I slid across the back seat and turned his face to mine.

"My god you're handsome!" I whispered and then kissed him passionately.

"So are you." he whispered in between kisses. "I mean you're beautiful. Of course you are!"

"Shut up." I told him with a twinkle of a giggle in my voice.

I was really starting to lose myself in the moment when the taxi stopped and the driver coughed. We pulled apart looking very embarrassed. My lipstick was smudged all over Ricky's mouth and no doubt mine too.

"I'll get this." I told Ricky as we got out.

I paid for the taxi and caught up with Ricky. He grabbed me around the waist and pinned me to the front door.

"What took us so long?" I asked as he kissed my neck. I ran my fingers through his gingery brown hair and sighed. He was heavenly. Surely he must have a flaw.

He mumbled something and started running his hands up my thighs. Then he was hitching my dress up and squeezing my bottom.

"Not out here Rick! The neighbours'll see everything!" I hissed angrily.

"Let them see! And hear everything!" he laughed.

I blindly jabbed my keys at the door as I tried to find the lock whilst in a moment of passion. When we finally got in we ran upstairs giggling like guilty teenagers.

"We're too old for snogging at the front door." I giggled.

Later on we lay together in bed feeling rather smug. We were so close our hot hot faces were almost together and his breath tickled my face.

"That was even better than last time." Ricky sighed.

"It's always amazing." I smiled.

"True." he agreed sleepily. "Very true."

"I'm going to go and brush my teeth and take my make up off. I think I might have to take my lipstick off you as well." I smiled and kissed him before I got up.

I came back from the bathroom with a make up wipe to find Ricky half asleep but smiling at me.

"Hey beautiful." he smiled.

"Hey handsome. I've come to get my lipstick off your face." I told him softly.

After I wiped it off I could see he was falling asleep.

"Love you!" I whispered.

"Love you too." he replied.

When I got back into bed he was fast asleep with his mouth slightly open. I'd always found it funny when he slept with his mouth open but when he started to snore it got very annoying. I kissed him on the forehead and then snuggled down to sleep myself. I laid on my side and watched him for a bit as I drifted off. He stirred a little and rolled onto his side.

"Stop watching me sleep." he mumbled. "Creepy."

"Sorry." I smiled.

He was pretty cute though!

The next morning I woke up to him putting a cup of tea on the bedside table. I blinked up at him sleepily and smiled. His hair was still ruffled from the bed and he had toast crumbs on his tshirt.

"Hey." he smiled. "I've got to go in a bit. I've fed Percy and given him a run around outside. Help yourself to food and whatever before you go to work. I'm going for a shower."

"Ok." I nodded sleepily.

I sat up sleepily while he undressed and went into the bathroom.

"Sexy little butt!" I called after him.

I heard him laugh then turn the shower on. He'd always had quite a small bum, even when he was chubby, and I'd always secretly liked looking at it. Now that he'd lost weight that little bum was almost non existent. I'd always been a bit jealous that my male best friend had a better bum than me. I sighed and sipped my tea as I continued to think about his 'rear assets'.

"Thinking about something nice?" he asked when he returned.

"Yeah. Very nice!" I smirked. "Thinking about your bum and how it's not really fair that my boyfriend has a better bum than me."

"Oh your bum is lovely!" he smiled blissfully as if he was talking about food.

"No it isn't! It's huge!" I protested. "You're just saying that because you're kind of obliged to."

He snickered with disapproval. "I've never been that kind of guy and especially not with you! I'll tell you exactly how it is whether you want it or not."

"Yeah yeah!" I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Whatever!"

"I think your bum is very peachy. It's not huge. If anything it's disproportionately small compared to your boobs. There's just enough to squeeze without being too much." he said matter of factly.

"Do you really study my bum that much?" I laughed.

"You bet I do!" he grinned and winked. "I can't keep my eyes off you. You're beautiful all over. Inside and out!"

I snorted with laughter. "You're too funny!"

"I'm serious!" he protested. "I'm lucky to have double threat. Smart and sexy."

"What are you after?" I asked with joke suspicion.

"Sex. Lots of sex!" he laughed. "Anyway my love, I've got to get going. See you later?"

"Have a good day my handsome man." I grinned.

"You too beautiful." he grinned and gave me a quick kiss and left.

I got up and started getting ready for work shortly after. When I left I noticed a black car and frowned to myself. I was sure it was familiar but couldn't place where I'd seen it. I walked to the nearest tube station with a slight feeling like I was being watched.

Before I headed into the station I looked over my shoulder to see the same black car driving slowly past me. I shivered with unease. Thinking on my feet I whipped out my phone and took a picture of it's number plate. I text Ricky quickly before heading underground.

"I think the paps are following us. Black car followed me to Tube." I typed and attached the photo.
