Tate Langdon: Moving On

I Want To Be With You

-Effy's P.O.V-
I heard the doorbell ring from downstairs and it woke me up. I looked at my clock and saw it was five in the morning. I groaned and rubbed my eyes. The doorbell rang again and raged out of bed. It looked like I was the only one awake, not a surprise really. Who would be at our door at five in the morning? I threw my silk dressing down on myself again and left my room. I stopped in the hallway and stretched when suddenly this sharp pain raced from my collar bone. I winced and placed my band over the source of pain. I felt the spongey plaster stuck to my skin. I forgot about that. I wanted to see what the cuts looked like now so I decided to lift the plaster to take a look underneath. Just as I was about to look, the doorbell rang again which made me jump. How were my parents not hearing this? I groaned and started to make my way down the stairs. I unlocked the front door and flung it open without thinking.
"What do you-" I started and then stopped when I realised who it was. "Tate, it's five in the morning, what are you doing here?" I asked, making sure my hair wasn't sticking up everywhere.
"You dropped this." he smiled as he held out the black rose before me. A sort of smile spread on my face. I reached out and accepted it from him. "And I wanted to see you before I had my session with Doctor Scott today." he smiled.
"My dad is still in bed, everyone is still in bed." I said.
"Can I come in?" Tate asked. I obviously couldn't say no. I stepped aside and nodded, allowing him in.
Myself and Tate went back up to my bedroom, trying not to wake my parents. Tate sat on my bedroom floor playing scrabble by himself whilst I lay on my bed watching him and trying to stay awake.
"Effy," started Tate. "You look tired."
"I am pretty tired." I replied.
"So am I." he added. At that moment, I took a big chance.
"Do you wanna sleep?" I asked. Tate nodded. "Come here then." I said, getting under the duvet in my bed and making room.
"You want me to sleep next to you?" he questioned. I nodded, feeling a little embarrassed. Tate smiled at me and then got up off the bedroom floor. He walked over to the free side of the bed and sat down. He took his shoes off and then climbed into the bed next to me. We lay next to each other with a small space between us and looked into my eyes. I felt my heart racing at this moment as I was in bed with a literal dream boy. It kind of turned me on in a weird way.
"You're actually really beautiful Effy." he whispered to me. A smile spread across my face which must of made me look goofy, but I didn't care, he made me happy. Tate raise his hand to my cheek and stroked my face. Without another word or another movement, Tate leaned in towards me and his lips locked onto mine. His lips were cold but I didn't care, I was in heaven. Just a a kiss turned into us both making out in my bed. From there I went with my instincts. I rolled over and climbed on top of him and he sat up a little to carry on kissing me. My hands found themselves slowly moving down his body and towards his zipper on his jeans.

-Tate's P.O.V-
This all felt so right to me. It felt like I had a spark of life inside of me again and I knew what Effy's intentions were at this moment. They were my intentions too. I opened my eyes quickly and suddenly saw Violet standing at the end of Effy's bed, watching us. I saw tears running down Violets face. I suddenly shot out of what I was doing.
"Effy I can't!" I cried pushing her off of me and back onto her side of the bed. I sat myself up and saw that Violet was gone.
"What's wrong?" asked Effy, looking a little spinned out.
"I can't do that, I'm sorry." I said to her, a little disappointed. Effy looked at me with a saddened expression and then turned away from me and lied down.
"Fine." she said. I sat there in silence for a few seconds as Effy attempted to sleep. I didn't want to push her away at all. I wanted to be with Effy but I also loved Violet. I lied my self down facing Effy and came up behind her, spooning her. I kissed her shoulder and whispered in her ear.
"I'm sorry." And cuddled up behind her. She didn't withdraw away from me in fact she got closer to me and embarrassed the cuddle.
"It's okay." she whispered back. I smiled and then closed me eyes, falling asleep with Effy in my arms and guilt in my mind.
I awoke to see that Effy wasn't by my side. I sat myself up in bed and found her dressing. She had already done her makeup and hair and had put on a short, black Wednesday Addams style dress with her black summer hat again and was now attaching her black knee high socks to suspenders. It was really sexy seeing her wear that, that it brought a smile to my face. She looked up at me.
"Good morning." she smiled.
"Good morning, beautiful." I replied with.
"My parents are awake downstairs, which means you have to go before they find out you're here." she said. I stretched and ruffled my hair, I had really bad bed hair as I could feel.
"Effy?" said a voice from behind the door, knocking. Effy looked at me with panic and I quickly fell out of the bed and slid under it, hiding. I heard her open her bedroom door. "I heard a bang just then, what was that?" said the voice.
"Oh, um, I just fell over then trying to open the door to you dad." she covered. "These socks are really slippery on my wooden floor."
"Ah, okay then. Well, breakfast is ready. Moira has prepared a fry-up for you." said Doctor Scott.
"I'll be down in the minute." she said before closing the door on her dad. "Tate, you've gotta leave now." she said as she went to go and grab some shoes. I slid my body out from under the bed so just my head was poking out from underneath.
"That was a close one." I laughed. Effy put on some of those weird platform shoes and then came and stood just in front of where I was peeping out and looked down to me with a smile. She wore ruby red lipstick today.
"Come on, Tate. You need to leave." she laughed. From the angle where I was, I could see straight up Effy's dress, revealing more of the suspenders and her black underwear. She noticed and backed away with a sort of scowl but also a smile. I shrugged my shoulders. "Come on." she said, grabbing my arms and pulling me along the floor from underneath her bed. I rose to my feet and went to the mirror which was on her wardrobe door and tried to sort my hair out. "You look fine, Tate." she smiled, peering over my shoulder. I smiled back at her and turned to face her.
"And you look beautiful." I charmed. She looked down and smiled at the floor. I placed my fingers under her chin and lifted her head up towards mine. I pushed my lips against her again and we shared another kiss as she slowly made me walk back towards the window. Our lips unlocked and I saw her open her window.
"This is the only way out where my parents won't see you." she said. I smiled at her and started to place my body out the window. When my body was out, I popped my head up to see her walking away.
"Hey Effy, wanna meet later?" I asked. She smiled at me again and walked over towards the window and stuck her head out towards me. We shared another kiss before I got my answer.
"Basement, when your session finishes, okay?" she suggested.
"Okay." I agreed before lowering myself down the house until I reached the ground.
