Count on Me

Chapter Eleven: A Little Understanding

Brushing her fingers through her hair, Katrina sighed stepping out of her bedroom and prepared to head down stairs for breakfast; she wanted to surprise Mesut with breakfast since he was often up before her. 

However today it seemed like their roles had been revised and Katrina had to admit that she was a little excited about surprising him with breakfast; it was a rare occasion when she had the chance to do so. 

Hearing something from Mesut's bedroom, Katrina paused and looked towards the door hesitantly, she waited for a moment to see if she could hear it again; the two dogs hurried down the stairs wanting to be let out into the garden. 

Katrina didn't move for a moment before she heard the noise again, she stared at the bedroom door for a moment as she made a quick decision. 

Taking a deep breath, Katrina slowly approached Mesut's bedroom and knocked quietly on the door; she waited for a reply and when there was none she carefully stepped into Mesut's room. 

Katrina was careful not to disturb anything passing through the seating area that served as an entrance to the bedroom; the noise sounded clearer now and Katrina wondered if Mesut had hurt himself. 

As she stepped into the bedroom, Katrina came to a complete stop and she didn't know where to look; she felt her entire body freeze not knowing what to do. 

Mesut was laying on top of his bed completely naked performing a very intimate action, he groaned completely unaware that his girlfriend was stood watching him. 

Continuing on with his actions, Mesut bit his lip to stop himself from crying out; he threw his head back knowing that he was so close to completion and he could almost taste it. 

A squeak on his left made Mesut's brown eyes snap out, his hands scrambled to right himself when he saw that it was Katrina staring at him.

"I am so sorry," Katrina squeaked covering her eyes, she couldn't believe that she had just walked in on Mesut doing that; she couldn't get the image of him touching himself out of her mind. 

The two were completely silent for a moment and Mesut couldn't believe that this had happened, he hadn't even heard her come inside and he wished that he had; it would have saved them this awkwardness. 

"I thought you'd hurt yourself... clearly not," Katrina explained wondering why the hell she hadn't just gone downstairs and made breakfast; she would have saved them this and she couldn't unseen what she had just seen. 

Sure Katrina had known that Mesut had a great body, he worked out and was sporty but she had never expected him to look like that naked; it was something that she clearly wasn't going to forget. 

"I'll just go and clean out my handbag or something..." Katrina spluttered a little flustered, she hurried out of the bedroom not allowing Mesut to say anything; she couldn't believe that had just happened right in front of her. 

Mesut groaned resting his head back against the bed, he stared down at Mini-Mesut not entirely sure what he should do now; he took a deep breath before he stood from his bed. 

It was time for a cold shower it seemed before he headed downstairs and tried to smooth things over with Katrina; Mesut didn't want her freaking out about this. 

The only thing he hoped was that she hadn't heard him cry out her name, Mesut couldn't help himself and he knew that it was perfectly normal but the last thing that he wanted was to put any pressure on Katrina.

Stepping into the kitchen, Mesut sighed noticing that Katrina was doing her best to pretend that he hadn't entered the room; he walked over to his girlfriend hoping to sort this out. 

"Kat..." Mesut murmured taking the newspaper from her, he set it on the table and caught her hands before she had a chance to escape; he didn't want her shying away from him because of what she had seen. 

The last thing that he wanted was for them to take a step back in their relationship, Mesut wasn't entirely sure what to say to Katrina about her finding him in that situation. 

Katrina looked down at the floor unable to look at Mesut, she still couldn't forget the sight of him touching himself and she doubted that she would for a while. 

"I am sorry you had to see that," Mesut said lacing their fingers, he sat down next to her at the table and hoped that she wasn't going to push him away; he couldn't believe that she had seen him in that position. 

There was no way that he was going to take a step backwards in their relationship, Mesut liked how things had been going in the past month and a half; he didn't want to mess things up between them in anyway. 

"I should have knocked louder..." Katrina said shaking her head, she had been pretty quiet moving about the house and she knew that she could have been louder moving to make sure that he was okay. 

Mesut smiled shaking his head, he was sure that one day they would see this as a funny story; he couldn't believe that she had actually walked in on him touching himself like that. 

The two were silent for a moment, they both knew that it was bound to happen sooner or later and it came from the fact that they were taking things slow between them. 

It also made Katrina more determined to move back into her apartment for a little while, she wanted to take time with Mesut and not fall into the pressures of what was expected of them.

"I was wondering if you'd come with me to the Bambi awards?" Mesut asked softly, trying to change the subject knowing that it had been an accident; he brushed his thumb over the back of her hand hoping she would say yes. 

It had been on Mesut's mind for a little while now and Mesut was sure that the award ceremony would be the perfect place for them to make their first appearance. 

They would have been together for two months then and with the trip to Germany it would also be a good time for Katrina to maybe meet his mother and siblings; Mesut wanted to get that out of the way quickly. 

Mesut wasn't in a hurry to introduce Katrina to his father, he was still pretty furious that his father had spoken to the press and gave them details about his relationship with Katrina before he was ready. 

Katrina stared at Mesut, she was a little surprised with his question especially when things were sort of awkward at this moment; she suddenly felt a little nervous about all of this. 

"You'd make a trip of it... attend the awards, maybe have some dinner," Mesut soothed wanting to ease her mind, he would bring up meeting his family when she felt a little more comfortable. 

Mesut's family were dying to meet Katrina for the first time and were even insisting coming to London soon to meet her; they were desperate to get to know his soul-mate. 

Taking a deep breath, Katrina nodded her head knowing that she couldn't hide away forever; she was going to have to get used to sharing Mesut with the world and that would take time. 

Mesut smiled kissing her softly, he was pleased that she said yes and he would even make sure she had a very beautiful dress for the awards. 

It was going good for them and Mesut was sort of worried what would happen when she met his family for the first time.
