Hang Onto Yourself

Hang Onto Yourself Part 16

At the airport, the band bid their fair-wells to one another and went their separate ways home. Glen was waiting for David and Nova, put their cases in the back of the Range Rover, then jumped in and set off home.

"I hope you still have some energy" David enquired to Nova "Oh I'm sure I could find some" Nova quipped. They leaned over and began to kiss passionately again, moving their hands all over each other.

Glen noticed in his rear view mirror and his eyes widened, almost hitting an oncoming car, Nova and David looked up in shock.

"Sorry Mr Bowie, Miss Hunter" Glen said clearing his throat. "It's ok Glen" replied David, "Can you drop me at Nova's apartment and would you be so kind as to take my bags back to mine?" David asked. "Certainly sir" said Glen.

Nova and David got back to their kissing session. Being careful not to get too heated in front of Glen, and increasing the risk of crashing.

Before they knew it they were outside Nova's apartment. Glen got Nova's bags out the boot and David went to take it from him.

"Thank you so much, once again Glen, also, could you let Coco know I'm at Nova's in case she needs me, she should be up there" he thanked, handing him a $100 bill. "Also, discretion is appreciated Glen" David raised his eyebrows at Glen, he knew he could trust him, but just wanted to make it clear.

"Of course Mr Bowie, I wouldn't dream of it" confirmed Glen, "Thanks mate" said David patting Glen on the arm before heading into the building and up to Nova's apartment.

Nova unlocked her front door and they both entered inside the apartment. "Would you mind bringing the bags through to the bedroom?" she asked David, he followed her through and they settled her cases against the wall.

Nova turned to make her way out of the room and David grabbed her, kissing her, Nova stopped him "Can we at least have a drink first?" she smiled at him, "Oh ok then" he said pretending to be sad.

They sorted their drinks out, David had his usual coffee, Nova had a camomile tea, and sat on the sofa discussing the tour, she laid her legs across his lap and used one of her hands to play with his hair whilst sipping her tea.

She loved this hairstyle on him. Long brown hair, it really suited him, she was actually quiet envious of how beautiful his hair was. The funny thing was, David felt the same. He loved Nova's long luscious locks, now all a natural colour. He much preferred her natural hair colour to when it was bleached.

They talked about how much fun they'd both had on the tour, and how glad they were with how things had ended up for them both. David checked how Nova was feeling "Are you feeling ok? Tired wise?"

"A little worn out" she said raising her eyebrows a couple of times at him. He laughed "No I didn't mean in that sense" he confirmed.

"Yeah I feel ok. Still get headaches every now and again, but nothing the tablets can't handle".

She had been prescribed strong Co-codamol, which made her feel all swimmy. They would also make her feel like she loved everybody and began to wonder if they had influenced her feelings towards David. She voiced this to David.

"Mmm I dunno, I would think, if anything, they may enhance your feelings rather than influence them" he advised. She thought about it for a moment and agreed, seeing as she didn't feel love for her old life when she took them and she had already started having feelings for David prior to her needing the tablets.

What she was feeling was real for this man sat before her. "Just be careful you don't rely on them Nova. They're addictive" he warned, but she eased his worry "Oh I only take them if its really bad, luckily I haven't had a really bad headache for a while now".

She reached her free hand round to feel the scar on the back of her head. He moved his hand round to feel it too. He began to look sad "I feel so guilty about that", he said looking down at his lap, playing with the seam of her jeans.

"Don't" she ordered him "If anything it helped bring us closer together" she smiled. "Everything happens for a reason, and I realised that you truly cared for me when all that happened" she laid her hand back against his face rubbing his cheek with her thumb.

"How about?" he started, Nova listening intently, "We have a nice long rest, about a month, or until we get bored of shagging..." he thought what he'd just said and shook his head looking at Nova cheekily, he would never tire of shagging her "or until we decide to step outside again" he continued "and then see about getting in the studio to start production on your solo album?"

Nova smiled excitedly then stopped herself "Hang on, did I have to sleep with you for you to then decide it was the right time for me to start working on my solo career?", David looked back at her with a worried look on his face "Whatever would give you that idea? I've been thinking it for months" he stated.

Nova sighed at herself and apologised "Sorry, its just, with what's happened in the past I..."

David interrupted her "Don't worry. From the very beginning I'd always planned to work you for a little while before talking about your own album. Getting experience being on the road as a solo, being in a proper studio. It gave me a chance to see your writing potential too as you've worked on a lot of material over the last year haven't you?" he comforted her.

"I'm sorry, I'm just tired and I guess somewhere in my mind I keep thinking this" gesturing at herself and David "is just a dream and any minute I'm going to wake up".

He grabbed her mug, set it on the table in front of them, leaned right up to her face until he was inches away, "You and I are really sat here now, none of this is a dream." Then kissed her.

He stood up and held his hand out to her, she took it and he helped her stand "Now lets go to bed and get some rest", with that he led her into her bedroom.

They awoke the next morning cuddling one another tightly. They hadn't done anything the night before, David could tell Nova was tired and from past experience, knew it was better to let her sleep.

Nova kissed David on the tip of his nose when he opened his eyes "Morning sweetheart" he said sleepily, then stretched out.

"So, whats the plan for today?" he asked her.

"Well I was hoping we could just shag, eat, shag, then maybe shower, then eat some more, and then shag again, then maybe some more shagging and then top it off with a little more shagging" she said to him as he laughed at her proposal.

"Sounds like the perfect plan" David laughed at her, pushing her onto her back and working his way down, kissing between her breasts, following down to her stomach and round to her waist, causing her to giggle as his stubble tickled her skin.

"Sorry" he apologised looking up at her "No you're not" she replied, "No I'm not" he reiterated, smirked and continued, she began to run her fingers through his silky hair.

Just as they were getting into it, there was a knock at her front door. He looked up at Nova curiously "Are you expecting anybody?" he asked "No, you?" She questioned.

"Of course not, unless Coco needs to speak with me, only her and Glen know I'm here". Nova got up, put on her dressing gown and headed for her bedroom door "Stay here, unless I call you" she instructed David. He sat back on the bed as she went and answered the door.
