1984 - A David Bowie Fanfic.

Tell me something.

Hi everyone,

Hope you're all enjoying the book, the reaction you guys have to it has been absolutely amazing recently!

Just wanted to say happy 30th anniversary to Labyrinth! On this day 30 years ago, one of my favourite films came out in theatres...!

Enjoy reading, lots of love,

David's house was very warming and comforting, Zowie had his own room, but it looked like it had been awhile since he had been here. "David, how long have you had this place?" I ask.

"A few years, I've been coming to it a lot." He admits.

"Then why didn't you come and see me earlier?" I sigh.

"I've told you Ros, I didn't want to interfere with your life... I thought you were happy."

It's silent as I continue to look round the house. "How come I don't remember what your house looks like? I was only here a couple of weeks ago..."

"You were drunk...!" David reminds me and chuckles to himself.

As I kept looking behind all the closed door to David's beautiful house, it was clear which one was David's room. I walk into it and see a large bed in the centre and looked desirably comfortable. Drapes of cream colour were hanging over the windows, the carpet as soft as a feather. Everything in it was modern, but cosy... It was very Bowie.

I touched the bedding and feel the smooth fabrics, the touch made me want to fall asleep...! "Here." David calls tossing me a shirt of his to me.

"Thanks." I say awkwardly as it hits my shoulder and floats down to the floor.

I pick it up and quickly rush into the bathroom to change. I look in the mirror and see my tangled blonde hair has been thrown around badly by the wind. I try to fix it as best I can, then rung hands over my heavy make up. My black eyes soon turn naked once the water washes the eyeliner and mascara away, and soon enough my black bags of tiredness would form under my big brown eyes.

I walk out, wrapped in David's blue striped shirt and look at him, he half smiles and ruffles his hair. "It suits you." He says honestly.

"Liar." I say trailing off to the bed with a smirk.

I hop into the bed and take a deep sigh, the covers felt so smooth against my legs and whatever skin wasn't being covered by the shirt and I closed my eyes. "David, this bed is incredible..."

He laughs slightly and then joins me under the covers and sighs too.

"Thank you for tonight." I say to him.

"You're welcome Blue Jean." He yawns.

"Let's get some sleep..." I say tiredly.

David nods, puts the light out and I turn my back to him.

After awhile of tossing and turning in the bed, I couldn't sleep. I tried to focus on David's breathing, tried to relax, but why couldn't I sleep? I sigh annoyed and then I hear his sleepy voice in the middle of the darkness:

"Can't sleep my darling?" His sleepy voice was sexy...

Oh God Ros, don't think like that...!

"No," I say hushed. "I don't know how to fall asleep either..."

"Come here," David puts his arms around my waist and pulls me into his curved body, my back still facing away from him. I sigh again, a much more relaxed sigh, and I slow my breathing right down. "is that better?" He coos in my ear.

"A little... David," I turn to him now, his arms still tangled around me. "tell me a something."

"Anything?" He questions. "Ok..." He thinks. "I've always wanted a little girl."

"You have?" I say a little shocked.

"Yes, when Margo told me she had Madison, I instantly bonded with her... I had to take a step back because I knew I'd get too attached."

"Maybe you will have a little girl one day," I mutter quietly into his chest. "what would you call her?"

"I've never thought about that..." He says lazily. "But I'm very lucky to have two boys." He sighs thinking of Zowie and Ziggy.

"I can't wait for Zigs to meet you..." I say into his chest again with a smile plastered over my face.

"I'm nervous." He say sheepishly.

"Don't be, just, don't tell him you're his dad yet..." We giggle tiredly together.

"Will you ever tell him I'm his dad?"

"Of course I will, but only if you stay..." I trail off.

"Tell me something Ros..."

"I'm glad you came back..." I say finally falling into a slumber.

"As am I... I've missed you so much my darling..."

"Tell me something, anything..." I mutter with much effort.

"I'm a Blackstar." He hums to me and I suddenly drop asleep, like I was falling into a massive coma...

Throughout the night I heard his heavy breaths and his thundering, powerful heart beat... It should've kept me awake at how loud it was, but  actually, it was my favourite lullaby.

I woke up the next morning exactly how I fell asleep - in David's arms. Once fully aware of where I was, I didn't try to move, I wanted to freeze this moment in time and keep it for a rainy day.

"Sleep well?" David says sleepily still.

"Very... How about you?" I yawn then smile to him.

"Wonderful, you should stay over more." He smirks to me but I don't return the smirk... I was still married after all...

I roll out of David's hold and stretch my arms, I couldn't believe how refreshed I felt after that sleep! I got up and walked around the bedroom still in David's shirt.

"Ros," he says still in bed.

"Yes David?" I say yawning again.

"Tell me something..."

"Can we eat some breakfast?" I say rubbing my growling tummy.

"Of course..." He smiles.

David gets out of bed and leads me down the stairs to his kitchen.
