My Story.

Happy Belated Birthday.

After I had given her a massage and we had made love we lay cuddling. We chatted a little about what had happened while I was away. When she was telling me about what Joe and his friends had given her for her birthday I remembered the earrings I got from Viv's shop and the bracelet and perfume I had brought home with me.

"Oo oo oo. That reminds me. Close your eyes my little candle."

I retrieved the earrings from the hiding place in my wardrobe. In my eagerness to get to bed I had left my bag on the kitchen table. Never mind the bracelet and the perfume could be given to her later. I held the box in front of her.

"Open your eyes beautiful."

"What's this?"

"I missed your birthday so it's a birthday present."

Her face grew stern.

"You already brought me that ridiculously expensive outfit. You didn't have to spend more money on me. I don't need presents. I don't want your money."

"But ...."

"I'm not interested in your money. I would rather you sit and read to me or something else that gives me some of your time."

"Well I'm not going to stop buying stuff for you. So you're going to have to get used to it. I know you're not interested in money Kerry. That's why I know that you will appreciate anything that's brought for you even if it's just a 5 kilogram box of Cadburys mini eggs. Which by the way you better have saved me some."

She begrudgingly opened the gift. When she saw them she thrust them back into my hand and burst into tears.

"I...I can't accept these. I've done nothing to deserve them. They're too expensive."

I pulled her into my arms.

"Kerry love. Stop. Please. I got these as a surprise. Not as payment for anything. I know you like them because you asked how much they were. I know if you could have afforded them you would have got them. I saw how sad you were when you were told £350. As for not deserving them. I think what you have dealt with over the years has more than given you the right to be treated nice for a change.  Now please just kiss me and accept the bloody gift......."

I reiterated my thoughts by kissing her along her collarbone on her neck and lips as I spoke slowly and softly

"besides I think they will look very (kiss) very (kiss) very (kiss) sexy (kiss) worn (kiss) with (kiss) that (kiss) outfit (kiss) or (kiss) just (kiss) on (kiss) their (kiss) own (kiss) "

We kissed and cuddled for a few minutes until she was calm again. I decided if I had to lull her into accepting gifts by kissing her it was doable.

We made our way downstairs around lunchtime.  Joe was at the kitchen table.

"Looks like you're all caught up on your sleep."

All I had to do was wink at him.  He groaned and muttered something.  Kerry asked us what we wanted for lunch. I spotted another opportunity to wind Joe up.

"I've only just had me breakfast love."

Kerry went a delightful shade of pink. It had the desired response. He bitched about not needing or wanting to know about my sex life. I had been plucking grapes from the newly appeared bowl of fruit.

"How long have we had a fruit bowl?"

"Since we took Kerry shopping. You should look in the freezer too. It's almost full of all that food I told you about."

'I take it the spice rack is because of the food too."

"Yep! There's loads of chicken in different marinades in the freezer too. I think you will be particularly pleased to know there's at least a kilogram of  Thai Bang Bang chicken."

"Oooh yummy."

I grabbed some of the grapes and went over to my girl. She was busy making a brew. I kissed her neck and she whimpered.

Joe complained but I didn't hear what he said. I was too busy.

"Waanntsss aaa grape preciousssss"

As she nodded I picked her up and sat her on the counter top. I put a grape between my teeth. She reached for it with her finger and thumb. I swallowed it.

"No hands allowed."

As I put another one in between my teeth she leant in. She's a quick learner. Joe slammed his books shut and announced he was going out. Kerry immediately stopped and told me that we shouldn't have embarrassed him like that.

"You didn't spend time with him yesterday. He shouldn't feel like he needs to go out of the way. Go get him to stay. I will put a pie in the oven for lunch."

She's so caring. I chased after him and caught up with him on the stairs. I apologised and asked him to stay for lunch. He agreed as long as Kerry and I didn't spend all day 'fornicating'.....as if....oh yeah...okay....point taken. I promised that I would be on my best behaviour although I admitted that I feel like a teenager again when I'm with her. ...all gooey and butterfly stomach.

"Okay I'll stay for a few hours but you're going to have to sit down with Kerry and discuss you..I'm going out with the guys tonight. Give me a few minutes and I'll call see if I can crash at someone's house for a couple of nights."

"Thanks son. Did you discuss Bowie with her at all?"

"No I didn't. You will have to answer any questions about Bowie. Especially if you let her read the I'm gay and Drug stuff."

"Alright. Let's just hope knowing what Bowie brings to the table doesn't scare her off."

"I'd be more worried about flick chasing her away than Bowie."

"Maybe but Coco wants me to be happy. Eventually she will come around and accept Kerry."

"You're living in cloud cuckoo land. She's never going to accept Kerry. She's never really accepted me."

I walked into the kitchen. I couldn't see Kerry at first.

"Kerry love?"

A little blonde head bobbed up. I walked over to find her going through my suitcase and sorting my clothes into piles.

"What are you doing sweetheart? "

"That pile is dry clean only. That's one is whites, this one is blue and greys. Leaving the dark stuff in the case."

"Honestly love it's okay. Coco will do it next time she's here. Which knowing coco will be in the next couple of hours.."

Joe walked in and told us that Coco had already been and he had told her to stay away for a few days. He like me knew that she wouldn't. I was starting to stress about Kerry.

"Please love. You don't have to do that."

Joe walked over to her. He took the clothes off her and picked her up. He stood her in front of me.

"Right. You two go in there and play suck face. I will put the washer on and then sort out lunch."

I told him that Kerry had already put a pie in the oven. I gave him my wallet and told him to nip to the chippy and grab some chips and gravy. I then scooped my girl into my arms and carried her into the lounge. We had some snoggles for a good 15 minutes before I lost her to her compulsion to clean.
