A Greek Odyssey - Jason Fic

CHAPTER 38

Jason lay back on the pillows, his hand tucked behind his head. Lexi lay with her head in the crook of his arm, one leg thrown over his, a small smile playing on her lips. They had made love for ages, Jason bringing Lexi to heights of passion she never would have thought possible before she met him. He'd had to clamp one hand over her mouth as she was so noisy, worried that they'd wake her parents with the racket and he'd have Joe hammering on the door for "corrupting his little girl". Jason smiled to himself thinking that he hadn't corrupted her, she was doing fine on her own creeping into his room like she had.

He woke up with a start as the sunshine poured in through the window, he realised at some point Lexi must have crept back into her own room. He stretched out and yawned, running his fingers through his hair making it stand on end and decided he'd better get up when he looked over at his watch and realised it was gone 9am.

Lexi was already downstairs when he turned up at the kitchen door. She came over and planted a kiss on his lips pinching his backside at the same time. 'You thought you'd get up then, must be all that fresh air which tired you out, eh?'

He grinned in reply and gave her a peck on the cheek. 'You must be right,' he said,  as he winked at her and gave her a knowing look.

She handed him a cup of Earl Grey tea, 'so, what time do you need to be back today?'

He sat down at the breakfast bar and rubbed his chin with his hand, feeling the stubble which he needed to sort out this morning. 'Ermm, I suppose around lunch-time maybe. I need to get some food in the cupboards for the week and sort out with the lads where I'm meeting them for the first photo shoot tomorrow.'

After they'd finished breakfast and got dressed they decided to go for a walk before Lexi would drive him into Cambridge to catch the train back to London.

'I'll see what the lads are doing next Sunday and maybe you can meet them. What do you think? he asked her, as they walked through the countryside near her house, her hand clasped tightly in his.

'I'd love to meet them, but what if they don't like me?'

'Lex, what is there not to like about you?' Jason asked, planting a tender kiss on her lips and stroking her cheek. He turned her to face him pulling her towards him to kiss her more firmly, his hands resting on her jeans clad bottom which he squeezed affectionately.

'Lex, I have something to ask you. It's my 40th birthday in a couple of weeks in Manchester and all my family and friends will be there. How do you feel about coming? I really want them to meet you if that's ok with you?'

'Jase, I'd love to! I'd need to speak to my Area Manager Debs to ask if I can have maybe a few days holiday. Can I let you know when I speak to her tomorrow? She may say no as I've already had a load of holiday recently.'

He nodded that it was fine and all too soon he looked at his watch and said that she'd best take him to the railway station.

She dropped him at the station, not wanting to come to the turnstiles to say goodbye as she couldn't bear it with everyone bustling past them. She got out, wrapping her arms around his waist and kissing him tenderly, not wanting to let him go. He leant down, taking her face in his hands kissing her back, not wanting to be the one to break the kiss either.

Eventually he turned away, a look of regret crossing his face. 'Remember, Lexi I love you and I can't wait to see you again soon'. Then he was gone, crossing the car park and heading into the Victorian building without looking back.

Lexi arrived at work early the following morning to find Freya already there, a look of confusion on her face.

'Problem?' Lexi asked, sitting down at her desk, a smile on her face as she recalled the events that had taken place on it three days previously.
