Twenty minuets later im lying on the edge of Gary Barlows bed, wrapped in a purple towel, my head in his lap.
"You okay?" Even though i cant see his face i can tell hes smiling. The honest answer would be no. Im obviously not okay. I feel so weak, my legs are like jelly, i dont think my breathing has returned to normal yet and to be honest, i ache all over.
"Hmm," I smile, turning over to look up at him. "That was pretty intense..."
"Sorry." A certain seriousness consumes Grays face, worry.
"No -no! A good kind of intense." I smile weakly. "Im just tired."
"Okay..." Gary says thoughtfully as i nestle into his lap, hes got a towel wrapped round his waist, but his chest is bare. "So you not saying i cant do that to you ever again?"
"Definitely not..." I grin, i know he cant see it, but i cant help it. Gary runs his fingers through my damp hair, i hear him breathe a sigh of relief.
"That god for that."
I laugh silently to myself, if im honest im still not entirely used to the idea that ive spent the whole weekend in Gary Barlows house having sex with him. It all seems a bit, unreal? I allow my thoughts to drift further...
                                                                           ***

When i open my eyes again the first thing i notice is the dull ache throughout my body. Im still lying on Garys lap. How long have a been here? Garys holding his mobile in one hand, down my his side and tapping away at the screen. His other is cupped around my lower back, holding me too him, stopping me rolling off the bed. I groan slightly as i turn to look up at him. He noticed my movement straight away and his eyes dart from the phone and lock with mine.
"How long have i been here?" I smile, im aware that my body is bone dry so it must have been at least 15 minuets. Gary checks the time on his phone and smiles down at me.
"About 45 minuets, maybe 50?" What?! That long? He sat with me, sleeping on his lap for that long?
"You should have woken me up!" I scold, easing myself up right. I cant believe he just sat there for three quarters of an hour whilst i slept on him...
"You were, exhausted Libby. It would have taken a heartless man to have made you move." Gary laughs.
"Ever the gentlemen." I mutter, but i cant help but smile. Gary smiles too as he stands up, i have to say im disappointed his wrapped in the towel. I tug at it, smiling sweetly but hes too quick and his hands dart to keep it in place.
"Your quite cheeky, arn't you?" He grins.
"I just prefer you without the towel." I pout, but i cant keep a straight face so we both end up in hysterics.
"Ive really enjoyed this weekend." Gary says when the laughter dies away. Holy hell! Really??
"Me too..." I smile, "Thanks for having me, Gary."
He practically laughs in my face. "Oh ive had you alright, babe!"
I narrow my eyes at his little joke and he shakes his head. "Im soory-im sorry!" He laughs, waving a hand on the air. "I leave you to get changed then we'll get something to eat ye?" Gary turns and leaves the room, still containing his laughter.

I quickly pull the jeans and top i picked up out of my bag. Shit. Oh shit. I've got no underwear! My bra is currently lying absolutely sodden in Garys shower and my knickers, well, i think they're still in the studio.
Swiftly i run into the studio, i cant help but laugh when i see the half painted wall. I spot my knickers on the floor and quickly drag them on. Thank God. I return to Garys room, to throw on the rest of my clothes, as for the bra? Well, ill just have to go with out wont i?

Ten minuets later i join Gary back in the living room, theres a wonderful smell in the room, its food. Im starving, i realise that i havent actually eaten since breakfast, no wounder i needed to sleep. I spot a take away pizza box in the middle of the room, accompanied with two glasses of white wine.
"Smells good!" I smile, making myself comfortable next to Gary and grabbing a slice of Margaretta pizza.
"Well, i didnt know what you liked so i thought id play it safe." He grins, helping himself to a slice.
"Oh, im not fussy." I laugh. This feels so normal, its weird. But a good weird, i love it, ive loved this last weekend ive spent with Gary, i love spending time with him.
We finish the pizza in record time and by now we're on our second glass of wine. I rest my back against the arm of the sofa, Gary pulls my feet onto his lap and we just sit and talk there for a while. I catch a glips of the time. 9;59pm. Fuck!
"Shit, Gary. Ive got work tomorrow, ive got to go." I pout, i cant help but notice that he grips my feet tighter.
"Do you have to go?" He sighs. I nod slowly.
"Im sorry."
"I dont want you to go."
"I dont want to go either."
"And the fact your not wearing a bra is making it one fuck of a lot harder for me to resist you right now Libby."
"I kn- wait! What?! How do you know im not wearing a bra?" I laugh, and climb onto Garys lap.
"Its not very hard to tell..." He whispers, grinning up at me. We stay there for a while, our eyes locked, just enjoying the moment.
"Come on then." Gary sighs after a while. "I'll drop you back."
"Dont you think you've had a little too much to drink?" I ask, picking up my bag.
"I'll be fine babe. Sober as a judge me." He grins, opening the front door for me. I shake my head at him and he slaps me softly on the behind.

A while later we pull onto my drive. Now i dont want to leave, i dont want to got to being in the house on my own again, being in a house with out Gary again...
"Here we go then." Gary smiles as i turn the key in the lock.
"Do you want to come in for a bit?" I ask hopefully.
"I think we both know what that would lead to." Gary grins. I cant help but grin with him. "I'll leave you to get some sleep. But here my number, okay?" Gary grabs my hand and pulls out a pen, he scrawls a number down on the palm of my hand, it tickles so much but i let him finish.
"Come round for tea on Wednesday then?" God you sound desperate.
"I'll be here." Gary grins, then his mouth is on mine again. That same fiery passion as always, his hands round my waist, my fingers in his hair. And then he pulls away. NO!
"Ill stop now." He grins. "Wednesday then."
I just nod, unable to do much else. And then hes gone, reversing off the driveway and down the road. Hes gone and i miss the man already.
