Get Ready For It - A Gary Barlow FF

Chapter 37

''Alright, mate. Thanks for the chat. Talk to you again'' I say to Sean as I pull up my driveway after a torturous 35 minute 'interview' as it turned out to be.

I don't mind doing phone interviews but not after he says it's just going to be 'a few questions'. Stepping out of my car, I lock the door and head up the gravel driveway with my laptop bag hanging off of my shoulder. Sliding the key in the lock of the front door, the door swings open with ease.

''Soph? Babe, are you home?'' I call out as I discard the laptop bag on the sofa, as I pad through the lounge and then into the kitchen.

I get to the breakfast bar and find a note addressed to 'Gary xx'

''I guess that's for me then...'' I mutter to myself, opening the note and reading it quickly;

'Babe,

I took a cab to meet my friend Chloe at the hospital. We're going to grab some lunch in town and then I'll bring her home. I'll be home for dinner.

Have a look in the fridge at what you would like for dinner and I'll prepare it when I get home this evening.

Hope you had a good morning at the studio

xxx'

My heartstrings are tugged on hard as I read this. Does she think that I am going to let her cook for me after the few days that she has spent worrying about her friend? Then she has another thing coming. I have nothing more planned for the rest of the day, so I am going to head to the supermarket and grab the ingredients for a nice romantic meal with my girlfriend, that we can enjoy in front of the fire with a lot of red wine, before I ravage her on the sofa in front of the hot fire and then again upstairs in our bed for round two. Jesus, I'm almost fully hard now just thinking about it!

*****

I arrive home from the supermarket after my shopping adventure. After getting stopped about 10 times to take a selfie just when I was picking up some onions and some vegetables, I was thankful that I had brought my peaked cap along with me for the spin. It came in quite handy and useful. The young girl at the cashier noticed me and slyly asked me for my autograph. She also asked me to follow her on Twitter so she could message me something which I will gladly do. I just hope she is not over-eager and thinks that I'm going to answer some random and weird sex questions which are not so unusual for me to see on Twitter!

Checking the time, I notice that I still have over an hour before I need to get started on preparing the dinner;

16:27

'I think it's time for a nice little run around the park down the street before I get started on the dinner' and with that, I put away the groceries and bounce up the stairs to get changed for my run.

*****

I bounce in through the door just over 30 minutes later. The sweat is dripping from my body after pushing my body to the absolute limits on that run. My trainer Steve will be pleased with the progress I'm making. 5K in just under 30 minutes is a new record for me.

I head to the fridge and grab a cold bottle of water, nearly draining the entire thing in one go! Next, it's time to get some stuff prepared for the dinner. I check the clock on the wall to make sure that I'm still on track and that the day is not getting away from me;

17:37

'Okay. Loads of time, Barlow' I say to myself in my head, as I busy myself by chopping the veggies and getting the chicken diced up and marinated for the stir-fry. I felt that a home-cooked chicken and veggie stir-fry with Szechuan sauce would do the trick.

Making sure that everything is cooking up nicely in the wok, I wheel around on my heels and pad out of the kitchen. Bouncing up the stairs, I make my way through the bedroom, into the en-suite to have a nice and hot shower. I peel the running gear from my body and toss it in the laundry basket just as my phone pings on the chest of drawers beside the door to the bathroom. Padding over nakedly to the phone, I slide open the message;

Sender: Sophie xx

17:57

'Hey babe, just leaving the bar now.

We went for a walk after lunch around Hyde Park and then stopped off for a glass of wine. I'll be home in about 30-45 minutes after I drop Chloe home. See you soon gorgeous

P.S, I want a BIG kiss when I get home xxxx'

I can't help but smile as I read it to myself. Oh, she can get all of the BIG kisses she wants later, and that won't be the only thing BIG she'll be getting either if you know what I mean!

''Right, time for a shower then'' I say to myself in a low voice, as I leave the phone back on charge and head into the bathroom.

Flicking the switch of the steam shower, it's not long before the room is engulfed with steam and heat. Time to get squeaky clean for dinner!

*****

I step out of the shower after making sure that all the important areas are extra clean and fresh for the evening. Can't be having Sophie sucking on an unkept cock and balls now, can we? I pad out of the bathroom with a towel around my waist and another in my hand drying my hair. Checking my phone again for the time, I realize that Sophie will be due home in the next 20 minutes or so.

'OK, I really need to crack on then with getting dressed for dinner then' I say to myself as I pull open the door to the walk-in wardrobe in my room.

The room lights up automatically and my beautiful clothes stand right there before me. Padding around the room, I ponder over what to wear for dinner tonight. I grab a pair of undies and socks and slip them on. Only black CK briefs are good enough for this evening. Have to make sure that The Captain's friend down below is extra comfy and secure!

After rifling through a number of possible outfits, I decided to go casual but sexy in a pair of tight-fitting black dress trousers, crisp white shirt with some soft floral designs and my black suede shoes. That definitely ought to get her weak at the knees! Once I'm dressed up in my freshly picked outfit, have some hair get flicked through my locks and a dash of Tom Ford, I head downstairs to get back into the kitchen. I pull a bottle of red from the wine rack and take two glasses down from the press. After I uncork the bottle to let it breathe, I check on the food that is sizzling away in the wok in the corner.

Just as I lift the lift on the wok, I hear keys rattle in the front door. Pretending that I didn't hear it, I allow the stiletto-heeled footsteps to come further up along the hallway before they reach the threshold of the kitchen door.

''Gary? Where are you? Something smells delici-'' her voice stops mid-sentence as I spin around on my heel to greet her.

''Hey babe, you alright?'' I say to her with a slightly smug look on my face.

It's already working!
