Meeting Mr Firth

13

Early next morning Colin received a call from his agent saying that he had to attend a meeting with a director. A new project might have been waiting ahead.
Fortunately it was an afternoon meeting so we could have breakfast together.

-Darling, I was just wondering if you'd actually prefer to live somewhere else than in London. We can move this instant if you want.
-What? No! I love London. Even more since the moment we met. I want to live here with you forever. But is so sweet that you'd be willing to leave your house and the city for me.
-I would at any time. So if you change your mind..
-I should not do that. Is the city I met you in. I should never wish to be away from Trafalgar square..
-The place I first vowed my love for you in..and you were so shocked.
-Still sorry I pushed you away that night. When I actually wanted to pull you closer.
-We eventually got that right, didn't we? Although I was the one who got scared the second time.
-Well, you set things right the following day.
-Those days seem far behind though not so much time passed since.
-It's because so many things happened in such a short time.
-I was in some sort of a hurry with the marriage discussion. Well, I actually was afraid of loosing you.
-Why would you? I told you a million times.. I'm not going anywhere.
-I suppose I wasn't over the age different issue entirely. And I thought you might fall for someone younger and leave me.
-So the "you deserve someone your age" was just bullshit?
-No, I really thought so at that time. Deep down I still do. Don't get me wrong, I mean I think such an amazing girl as you deserve someone who can provide you a family..
-You are my family.
-I mean..you don't want kids? And a husband to grow old with? Because I'm..
-Don't even say that again. I only see myself growing old with you. No matter how much time that will be..I don't want to think of the future. We should live in the present, enjoy every moment. As for the kids matter..I never wanted kids of my own anyway.
-No kids?
-I didn't say that. I always thought it'd be better to apply for adoption. And we could.. Do that.
-We? Adopt a child? I don't know..
-Okay, forget it. I'm happy with you. And we are a family. Perhaps not a traditional one..but traditional is boring anyway.
-Wait, if you would really want to adopt a child, maybe we should.
-You're serious?
-Yes. So tell me..you've been thinking for long about this.
-Well, yes. I think having kids of your own is a bit egoistic when you can adopt and give a child in need a chance to a happy life.
-That is a very beautiful thing to say.
-And I always thought I'd love to adopt a girl. Always wanted a daughter.
-Me too. But having three sons..I gave up that thought long ago.
-Maybe you shouldn't have.
-Let's stick to this idea, okay? We should adopt a little girl.
-You really are serious! Oh. My. God! You really want to adopt a child..
-Whatever makes you happy, babe. It would make me happy too. We could go to the adoption centre tomorrow morning. Could even make the process quicker I hope.
-One advantage of you being famous that we could use for a good cause.
-True that.
-I have to go to work, babe. See you tonight!
-Can't wait to see you.

We kissed goodbye and I went to work. I called Viv to meet me for lunch. I barely could think of anything else but that morning's conversation. Adopting a child wasn't really something I thought him willing to do. For the simple fact that he already had children. And I didn't wanted a child THAT much. But it could be nice..
At lunch, I told Viv what had happened..

-Well, point one, you're achieving a dream. You always wanted to adopt. Point two, you give a little girl a chance to grow up in a loving family. Point three, we already know Colin is going to be the best father.
-Perhaps a little overprotective of a girl. But that'd be so sweet.
-You though about a name?
-Oh, no. We haven't discussed it that far. But of course I have my preferences.
-Tell me, what's the name you have in mind?
-I've been making mental lists all morning. Made and remade until I put Catherine as a top favourite. We could call her Cathy.
-Or Kitty..
-No, I like Cathy better.
-I would ask you if I could come with you to the adoption centre tomorrow.. But that'd be too much.
-Sorry, you'll have to meet your future niece after we do.
-I can't wait to be called Auntie Viv by your little girl.
-I have to get back to work, if you excuse me. I'd have invited you to dinner tonight but Colin will be out for a meeting all afternoon and would probably be tired when he comes home.
-New project?
-Yes, possibly. I just hope it won't mean he has to go far from home.
-I have a feeling he would refuse if it requires that. He won't leave his fresh wife and his future daughter alone just so soon.
-I love how that sounds.
-I know. I do too. You're going to be the sweetest family I know.
-Thanks, Viv! Gotta go, Jack probably is looking for me already.
-Oh, wait a minute. I just wanted to tell you I'd be around more. I talked to Jen and she has a spare room I can temporary live in.
-Why don't you come live with us?
-No, I would invade your intimacy. I would love to stay with Jen until I find a job and rent something.
-Good luck with both. And if you need help with anything just call me, okay?
-Okay. Thanks! Now go back to your job until Jack gets angry.
-Good idea. Bye!

The afternoon passed slowly, especially being alone in the empty house. I decided to watch a movie to make the waiting easier. Just as it was ending I heard the front door opening..

-Honey, I'm home!
-Welcome back! How did it go?
-We still have particulars to discuss but the role is basically mine.
-You look tired..
-The meeting was psychically exhausting..with physical side effects. I would go to take a shower.
-Umm.. I wanted to do the same. Why don't we do it at the same time, I smirked.
-Why not? he said smirking too.

Shower sex was something I wasn't expecting to have..with him or anybody at all. But he was full of surprises. The hot water running down on us, as if he wasn't hot enough already.. I was touching slowly his gorgeous body, running my hands through his wet hair, sucking on his neck. He was holding me tight, his hard-on pressing against my tight. He pinned me against the wall, sucking on one of my breasts while penetrating me gently. I was holding him tight, still kissing his neck and moaning.

Laying on bed, resting my head on his chest, we spoke about the potential project. He wasn't to leave London. He said he wouldn't leave me, not even for a second.

-I called to the adoption centre and arranged for a visit tomorrow at 10am.
-I told Jack we have somewhere to be in the morning. He surprisingly didn't ask further questions. Are you excited for tomorrow?
-I'd consider you didn't just ask me that. Of course I am! I just hope not to attach to too many of the kids. Because we might end up adopting 3 or 4. Or more..
-We should stick to the initial plan. I'd love to be a mother, but one child seems enough for the time being.
-I'll have a daughter. I still can't believe we're doing this.
-Me neither. But we are.
-Let's get some sleep, shall we?
-You're still tired, aren't you? Good night, darling!
-Good night, honey!
