I Need You

Part 14

"Finally. We get to have a whole evening to ourselves!" Lindsey said, coming out of the shower into the bedroom, where Stevie already lay in bed, searching for something watchable on TV. 

It was still relatively early, especially for her, but it had been too long since there were no members of the group involved with the album or either Stevie's or Lindsey's kids. It wasn't that they didn't love their own children, but they also needed some time alone...

"Yeah, just that I'm not sure what we're going to do. I've gotten so used to this house being busy."

"Oh, you don't know what we'll be doing?" Lindsey asked, lifting an eyebrow. "Well, good thing I have a pretty brilliant idea!" He said, falling on the lower half of her body.

"Lindsey! Jesus, are you twelve?" Stevie rolled her eyes, but then started giggling, when he tickled her sides. "Stop!"

"No, I'm twelve!" He then moved up higher, lying in between her legs, his chin resting on his hands, that were placed on her chest. "You're so beautiful, you know that?"

"Well, it's what you keep telling me." She smiled sweetly, running her fingers through his wet curls.

He got closer, gently kissing her, as she wrapped her arms around his neck. They spent a good while, only making out, before he pulled the covers away, that were separating them and lay on top of her again. Starting with her neck, he kissed down the curve of it to her shoulder and back up, going lower, placing kisses on her chest, as he eased the straps of her nightgown, revealing more of her. He continued teasing her, until she forcefully pushed him onto his back and straddled his middle. 

"You wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that game, would you?"

"Hey, I could feast on you the whole night, baby, it's not a game to me." He shrugged, holding her by the waist, as she bent over and captured his lips again.

Although, not for long...

"You've got to be kidding me." Lindsey sighed at the sounds of Stevie's phone ringing. "Literally nobody ever calls you, but now..."

"Maybe it's something important, it's kind of late." She got off him and reached for the cellphone, the number not being in her contact list.

"Hello?"

"Good evening. Am I speaking to Stephanie Nicks?"

"Yes, it's me. Who's calling?"

"I'm from a hospital, you are listed as an emergency contact for Michael Collin."

"Oh my God, is he okay?" 

"He's been involved in a car accident, he's stable, but he's suffered quite a few injuries."

"I, um... Where can I find him, I'll be right there."

Writing down the whereabouts, Stevie then hung up, looking at Lindsey. "Michael is in hospital. Can you-"

"I'll drive you." He nodded and they both went to get dressed quickly, before leaving.

Because of the time of day, there was no traffic, allowing them to get to the hospital fast. Once they were there, Stevie clutched her handbag, turning to Lindsey. 

"I think you should go, I'll probably stay here anyway."

"Are you sure? Maybe we should go in first and see what his condition is, maybe it won't be necessary for you to spend the night here?"

"The woman said he's stable now, which means he most likely wasn't when he was brought in." Stevie placed her hand over Lindsey's, sensing just why exactly he didn't want her to stay. "Linds, you have to understand, that I want to be with Michael, because he's the father of my children and I've spent many years with him, I care about him. There is no reason for you to be jealous in this situation." She assured, leaning in to kiss his cheek. "I'll call you, okay?"
