Count on Me

Chapter 34

I woke to a warm tingling on my cheek ,causing a smile to automatically form on my face , because I knew the owner of those lips all too well.

Reluctant to get up , I snuggled deeper into my bed ,only to receive another atemt from Calan to wake me up as his lips trailed down my jaw and my neck toward my weak spot .

'No I don't want to get up five more minutes ?' I thought .

'You know what I don't think I have the patience to wait five minutes .' Came his reply and I could practically hear him smirking .

My one eye opened slowly as if it was weighed down by lead bars . Calan's face soon came into focus . And a smile drew on my face as I gazed into those beautiful blue eyes . But they weren't just any blue they were like the ocean , deep and dark and bright all at the same time . And I could immediately feel my heart rate rising .

" Good morning beautiful ." He said leaning down to plant a soft kiss on my lips and mine reacted as if on their own accord .

"It certainly is , especially if I wake up like that ." I said after the kiss .

I pushed myself upright in my bed , but accidently bumped my bedside table ,causing my gift from last night to land on the floor .

Calan didn't hesitate to pick it up but gave me a questioning look as he handed it to me .

"What's this ?" He asked once the parcel was back in my hands .

" Oh its nothing just a gift from a friend ." I said about to put the parsel back on the table when his hand caught mine .

" Have you opened it yet ? " he asked.

"Nope" I said popping the p , " I only got it last night , I was just too tired to think of opening it."

So he handed me the parsel and I gradually started opening it. Careful not to rip the beautiful wrapping my hands slowly pulled the wrapping fram a small blue box. I put the wrapping aside and lifted the lid from the box, and inside delicately folded in tissue paper lay a stunning gold necklace with tiny blue sapphire crystals embedded in the chain.

"Wow" I breathed unable to say anything else.

"Yep " came Calan's reply.

" Will you help me put it on? " I asked after some time.

" Sure " he said and I handed him the necklace and turned my back to him so he could fasten it.

" So this friend of yours , when do I get to meet her? " Came his voice from behind me as he finished fastening my necklace.

" You will get to meet him soon." I said emphasising the him. And as I said it I could feel his hands tense on my shoulders.

And speak of the devil and he shall appear . Because just as Calan was opening his mouth to say something the door burst open.

"Come on sleepyhead get up get up there is breakfast...... Oh you have company I'll just be on my way. " Aaron said in the door and was about to leave when I called him back.

"Aaron this is Calan my boyfriend , Calan ,Aaron my bestest friend from England ." I said the semi awkward introductions.

Calan gave him an entirely fake smile while Aaron was giving him a real genuine smile as he strode over to shake Calan's hand. And as they shook hands Calan's facial expression turned from one of jealous hatred to somewhat confused , I guessed he must have read Aaron, so my curiosity won and I read Aaron.
