CAUSE & EFFECT (Vol III)

Part 46- "This will be fun"

"Good morning gorgeous" Freddie stretched his arms above his head as he stepped out of the bedroom.

Daisy turned slowly holding a bowl of cereal casually, wearing nothing but black panties and a lace bra.

Her hair hung down in loose curls past her shoulders, stunning Freddie with her natural beauty first thing in the morning.

"Good morning" she smiled back gently, enjoying the view of Freddie wearing her purple love heart pyjama pants "that's quite a look there"

Freddie glanced down and smiled to himself amused "not very rock star is it" before pulling them down completely, revealing himself "better?"

Daisy kept a straight face while she continued her breakfast, leaned back against the kitchen counter.
Extending her legs, she crossed her ankles and enjoyed her view  "mmm much"

Freddie stepped out of the pants and walked over casually, stopping in front Daisy looking down into her bowl.

"Would you like something to eat?" Daisy's question was suggestive in tone.

Sliding his index finger into the rim of her panties, Freddie cocked his head to the side "depends on what's on the menu darling"

"Tell me what you feel like eating, and I'll let you know if it's available" Daisy took another spoonful while trying to conceal her playful smile.

"There she is" Freddie's face lit up with warmth at the sight of Daisy's playfulness.

"There who is?" Daisy asked covering her mouth as she chewed.

"Old Daisy, you were gone for a while my love" Freddie pushed a strand of hair behind Daisy's ear gently.

Daisy sighed and shifted "I'm not loving the closeness of my name with the word 'old' and Freddie, I wasn't gone, I've...evolved"

Freddie stepped back "evolved? Look Daisy I know that what happened with Alex was...but I promise you, he will pay what he did to you"

Daisy stood up defensively "what he did to me?! Do you really think that I am the way I am because of what he did JUST to me?!"

"He did this to someone else?!" Freddie's voice raised into an almost shriek.

"Forget it Freddie, please just don't" Daisy placed her bowl in the kitchen sink. Her head hung down in hopes that Freddie wouldn't see her tears which were dangerously close to flowing down her face.

Freddie wrapped his arms around her, protective and strong.

She rested head appreciatively on his shoulder, she took in the warm smell of his skin.

"I can't help you if you don't open up to me" he whispered closely to her ear "when will you understand that I love you, I want to help"

Daisy pulled away and wiped her tears "this is simply something you can't help me with"

Freddie gave a disappointed nod, accepting that Daisy's secret was something she was not willing to share with him.

Daisy was torn between sparing Freddie the same extreme pain she was going through, versus hurting him slightly.

His beautiful deep brown eyes stared into hers begging for her to let him in, unable to see that she was trying to protect him from finding out what Alex had done to both of them.

She had every intention of revealing everything at some point, but first, she needed to see Alex in person.

Running her fingers through his thick hair, she marvelled at how it was possible for someone so sad to look so beautiful.
