Chapter 12 - Bannana

The non stop intensity of yesterday had exhausted us both, it was chaotic from start to finish and after it slipping out that he loved me, followed by that perfect kiss - and the revelation of him telling me that he knows what's going on - we must have fallen straight to sleep.

A grey haze is all that can be seen looking out from the hotel room window as I open my eyes this morning, murky fog - a wet miserable looking day which isn't all surprising for this time of year. Not that I know Manchester well, but I do remember the damp grey misery of these winter months and it's a far cry from Monte Carlo I can tell you that much.

Rolling away from the grey sadness of the outside world to face Lando, all I'm able to do is stare. He's mesmerisingly beautiful. Dark brunette curls fall over his face as he lay sleeping, his mouth slightly ajar, light stubble on his chin and those thick dark eyelashes contrasting against his olive skin.

There's something strange but comforting about just looking at someone sleeping, no bravado, not trying to be anything - he just looks so beautiful and at peace.

Sleep however, was my enemy last night. Tossing and turning with too much on my mind, my brain unable to shut down. Even with the positive end to yesterdays events, it didn't resolve the issues that still need to be dealt with in my life, constant missiles of thought and worry firing around inside my head for the entirety of the night.

It also didn't help that laying on my back was the only way to avoid being in total agony from any pressure on my ribs, leading to the sad eventuality of me staring at the ceiling all night overwhelming myself with worry about the future.

But... looking at him now, made everything feel ok - all that worry disappeared. This feeling no doubt wasn't going to last, but while it was here I just wanted to grab onto it.

Shimmying out of bed trying to be as quiet as possible, creeping across the carpet before bending over to get a water from the small mini fridge at the end of the bed. I jump back, startled by the sound of Lando's husky sleepy voice as he groans and stretches.

"Morning beautiful" His eyes hadn't properly opened yet but he still managed to scan the entirety of my body - making it very obvious as he looked back up at me softly biting his lip and smirking.

"Good morning" I smile softly at him. "Do you want a water?"

"you're starting to look like a banana that's gone bad - you know when they've gone like..."

I burst out laughing cutting him off "Are you serious right now? That's not where I thought this was going." Throwing a bottle of water at him as he ducks below the covers to hide from it. Mocking my bruises that had now began forming from a dark purple brown to yellow on one side of my body.

"Come here" he signals with a half assed wave of one hand for me to approach, a smile on his face but a sternness to his voice.

He pulls both of my wrists towards him as I get closer to the bed, leading to me sitting on top of him straddled, my hands hang loosely around around his neck - I feel him getting hard underneath me - fuck. Of course we both still had no clothes on.

"Do you know how hard it is to watch you walk around like this in front of me." He rubs his thumb across my lips before planting a kiss, as much as I want him right now - it still doesn't feel like the right time to do anything further, I need to speak to Charles and it's eating away at me in the back of my mind. Not because I want anything more, I just need resolution.

"Bruised bananas taste the best anyway" he jokes, kissing me again. This man is making it more and more difficult for me.

"Shall we go and get some breakfast?" The words barely able to escape my lips as we continue to kiss.
