You Need Me

The L Word

"No it doesn't go onto that one, you twat, it goes to this one!" I yell over the pouring rain at Trent as he tries to fit two poles together that clearly aren't a pair.

"Fucking hell, sorry!" He shouts back and wipe droplets of water from his face.

I am already shivering from the heavy rain that is thundering down on both of us. "Give it here." I hold my hand up and he chucks it to me. I grab the correct poles and clip the, together before threading it through the tent.

Trent just stands back and watches me as I quickly put up the tent. In a way, I am feeling glad that he didn't help as I know that he would have been more of a nuisance and a hindrance than a helping hand. "I'll go and get our bags to put in the tent."

He jogs off to the car but he slips over in the sloppy mud making me burst out with laughter. "You pillock!" I cackle as he gets back up onto his feet now covered head to toe in mud.

I hear him curse and grumble under his breath and he stomps to the car where he collects his and mine things. I unzip the door to the tent and slip my shoes off before stepping into the place. "Fuck sake!" Trent exclaims as he too comes into the tent but he is covered in mud.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa get your ass outside you are muddy as hell." I shoe him back outside the tent.

"What am I supposed to do then, strip off?" He moans sarcastically but I put my hands on my hips and look up at him from the tent floor. "Fine, get me a black sack so I can put this stuff in it."

I grab my bag and rummage through my bag until I find a roll of black sacks at the bottom of it. "Here you are." I hand him one and he first takes off his hoody, then top then his bottoms so he is left in his underwear.

Trent puts the dirty laundry into the bag. He jumps into the tent quickly and goes into another pod to get some dry clothes on.

I get the double air bed and pump it up ready for us. We are staying in this tent for three nights and four days. It is five o'clock in the evening already and our camping trip has definitely got off to a great start. That was sarcastic by the way.

I then get out the double sleeping bag and lay it out neatly. "Oh, well done, babes, it's looking amazing. It makes me wanna go to bed now." Trent smile widely as he comes out of the pod wearing shorts and a black hoody.

"Where's the pillows?" I ask and look through the bag.

"I think they are still in the car, sorry my bad. I'll go and get them now..."

"No, you've just got changed I'll go get them." I slip my wet shoes back on and tread outside into the thrashing rain and try really hard to keep my balance on the slippery mud. When I get the two pillows I leg it as quickly and as carefully as I can back to the tent.

I kick my shoes off and jump onto the airbed with the pillows held against my chest. Trent takes one from me and lays down as well. "We are gonna have so much fun together this week."

"You bet." I grin back and lay on my back looking at the top of the tent. It is a pale green colour and the sound of the heavy rain pattering down on the canvas.

"Tomorrow me and you are going on a hike up the hill and we will watch the sunset together." Trent wraps his muscular arms around me and I lay on his chest.

"You, Mr Arnold, are actually quite the romantic type aren't you." I smile at him and trace my finger across the soft surface of his hoody.

"Let's just say I want to do certain things with one special girl, have done since I were a young lad. Well, I think that I have found that special girl."

I look up at him and he is already staring passionately into my eyes. "Me?"

"Look, I know that we have only officially been together for a week and a bit but...I have never felt this way about any girl and I am in love with you." I don't think that I have seen Trent this serious before and he doesn't remove his eyes from my own.

Astonishment fills me and my mouth opens slightly as I haven't heard something like this before from no one but Adam. I don't quite know how to feel about this.

"I just had to tell you, even if you don't feel the same, I just had to tell you that I love you, Nat, and I will completely understand if you..."

"Trent, shut your gob," I press my lips firmly against his and he hesitates from shock before wrapping his arms round my waist and kissing back. "I love you too." I mumble against his lips and continue on with the kiss.

I lay on my belly on the airbed now in an over-sized top and short, shorts. Trent comes into the tent with McDonalds in his hands. I scream with excitement and he hands me the chicken nuggets, chocolate milkshake and large fries. "You are the best!" I kiss his cheek thankfully and he sits next to me on the airbed with his own meal.

"I remembered you saying something about your favourite meal from McDonalds and that was the nearest fast food place round here so...I thought why not." He tucks a strand of my blond hair behind my ear.

"That's so sweet." I kiss his cheek and I pop a McDonalds chip into my mouth.

We sit eating in comfortable silence and after I finish my last chicken nugget I lay down flat on my back, my stomach full of delicious food. Trent lays down next to me and puts his hand on my belly. "You okay, babes?" He kisses my cheek lovingly.

"Doing just fine." I let out a long yawn and turn into him letting him wrap his arms around me.

I fall asleep with happiness consuming me before I pass out from tiredness.

Pain. Horrible pain comes from my stomach as my eyes peel open. The tent is slightly lit up by the morning sun so I figure that it is quite early and Trent is still fast asleep. I listen to his snores and a small smile spreads across my face but as quick as it comes it goes as another sharp pain stabs through my lower abdomen.

Periods! Eugh, I get really bad cramps on the first day and I just wanna rip my uterus out and put it in a blender but I don't as I don't think that, that would be wise.

I can already feel the tears coming and I wrap my arms around myself to try and sooth the pain. But it's no use, to be honest it never is. Luckily, I did know that my period was coming today so I am wearing certain things so it don't bloody go everywhere.

I curl up and roll over with a groan. Arms wrap around me once again but the snores of my boyfriend still ring out soothingly throughout the tent showing me that he is still asleep.

My phone rests on the tent floor and I reach out grabbing it. The time reads half four in the morning and I huff knowing that I definitely can't get up at the moment. "Fuck." I whisper as another pain chews at my insides.

Trent sits up and squints down at me. "Babe, what's wrong?" He rubs his eyes and I put my phone back down on the floor.

"Nothing, just go back to sleep."

"Don't try that with me, I know when something is wrong with you, Nat, you've been tossing and turning for the past five minutes and I wanna know what's up with my girl." One of his hands rest on my thigh and his tired eyes look at me with nothing but worry.

"I just get really bad...cramps when ya know." I mumble and sit up holding my stomach tightly. Trent's face changes with realisation and he gets out of bed.

"Do you take pain killers for it, because I packed some paracetamol if you want one?" He begins rummaging through his bag and hands me one before I can protest. "Here you are, baby, just let me get your water." My heart literally melts as I watch him rush around the tent at half four in the morning just because I have bad cramps.

This is a lad that I love and now I am glad to say that he is on that I love.
