“Are you all right? You seemed to be in pain with that was I
too rough?” Smiling like a fool, he just looked at me.
“Hell no, that was really good and I’m not complaining you
have a wonderful and very naughty mouth, bring it here. You do that
so well and wow Missy thank you it feels so nice having him in your
mouth.” He pulled me on top of him and we kissed.
“Can we go to the pictures or something Sam let me take you
out?”
“Yes out, but I’m taking you out no arguments.” We made our
way down stairs. I went into the front room.
“What were you doing upstairs?” Oh bad move Pat, mouth fucking
my husband to be, to the edge and back. I wonder what she would
have done had I said that to her face. I laughed inside.
“I was making out with my boyfriend, and thanking him for all
my pretty dresses, why, what’s it to do with you what I do in my
room? I don’t need your permission to anything in this house,
unbelievably Pat. I have Dad’s permission, to do as I please in my
room. So your opinion doesn’t count, for shit in this house. I’d
mind my own business if I was you Pat, and in future keep your nose
out of my life. I have parents, you’re not one of them, if they
object to anything I do then they will let me know. Should it upset
my father, who’s is the only opinion that matters to me, I will do
something about it. He likes Sam and trusts Sam. You, you horrid
acid filled bitch, he doesn’t.
So Patricia mind your own business. You don’t get a say in how
my life is lead unbelievably, I hate to break that to you, but it
seems your confusing our home with your house and me with your
daughter? Last time I looked neither had sod-all to do with you, so
mind your own bloody business. Dad runs this house, not you. So
stop interfering. If you say one more thing that pisses me off be
careful, your one nasty comment away from having a bloody shock in
store. I’m not my mother I don’t take orders from you are we clear
on that? Good, your silence speaks volumes for a change.” Dad was
in the hall when I turned around, when the sodding hell did he come
in and how much did he hear?
“Oh Dad sorry, Sam’s taking me out is that all right?” He
smiled both he and Sam were smiling at my Missy-fit.
“Yes Michelle I’m back, I got in when you said you were making
out, and it seems just in time to save you smacking Pat’s arse!
Have her back in one piece Sam and thanks for stopping up with her
the other night and being there for her, you certainly do look
after my daughter, really you do need to stop spoiling her. Are you
leaving Pat? I expect you are. Coffee Susan, I’m just having a
wash.” That smug look was on Sam’s face as he held my hand and
dragged me out of the house laughing.
“Oh that was good, I’ve been taking orders from her for over
ten years, and she has Mum wrapped around her fingers. She’s lucky
I bit my tongue.” Sam pulled me to him and kissed me.
“Shush she was told and you were very forceful, I don’t think,
she will be sticking her nose into your business again. The Night
Owl, I think seeing as your Dad’s at home? He loved hearing you rip
her to bits, he heard it all including the thanking me by making
out bit, cheers he punched the back of my arm, I had to say not
what he thought had happened, had actually happened. If that was
taking it easy, don’t lose your temper with me you frightened the
crap out of me, but I was serious baby our own place and loud sex
please?”
I smiled as he pulled me in for another kiss, I want to but
how can we afford to with his spending like there’s no tomorrow? I
panic paying for college, what am I going to be like paying his
bills and worrying about bloody money? We need to discuss this and
loads of other stuff, we start off discussing it and end up fooling
around or getting disturbed, a weekend away just we two and get
everything sorted out and I mean everything including gift giving.
We headed into the pub.
The place was full of Sam’s mates, some I recognised as the
village idiots from the coach to Blackpool. Dave and Stuart, I had
already met in The Frog. He would have been on my coach, I’d sussed
as much when they were the lads on the coach and stopping at the
castle, I had to wonder who Michelle had taken a fancy
too?
Sam was being sly again the lads who were on the coach and who
were trying to pick me up were here too. I looked a lot different
from our last encounter so he didn’t give me a second glance. The
other lad did though he smiled and then waved. It was Ben from the
bar. He gave me the thumbs up and Sam looked at us both.
“This lot are the Jolly Boys.” He laughed, when he realised
that I had sussed his sneaky plan.
“I should have been on the coach that morning. I was going to
surprise you, how did you guess that then?” I laughed.
“They were loud on the coach and I recognise some, you were
going to surprise me then?” I needed the toilet. “Can I have a
glass of wine please?” I disappeared to the toilet before he could
argue I heard a bunch of girl’s voices. I listened.
“Sam’s out again and without Andy. Are you going to ask him
again? You never get if you don’t ask.” Shit, will I ever sit on a
toilet and not hear about Sam, last night he was out with Andy
though, what went on last night?
“He knocked me back once, but twice then more fool him! So I’m
going to give him another chance. He’s a bit of a dish all right,
so hot and mine. I’ve watched him for a while and last night he
said I was the one.” This I had to see, how can he have knocked her
back, and she was still the one in the same night? She sounded like
a lunatic, I washed my hands and walked towards the table, he had
now been surrounded by a few girls. One was actually in my seat,
trying to get his attention.
“Excuse me? You seem to be in my seat, no worries this one’s
mine now.” I moved past the one that was warming my seat and I put
my hand on his shoulder and picked up my drink and sat in Sam’s lap
he actually looked relived, he put his arms around me and damned
tightly too, kissing the back of my neck and claiming me from the
Jolly’s and letting the girls know he was taken, and boy he was
taken girls.
“Sam, I leave you for two minutes.” I kissed the back of his
neck. “Got you covered boyfriend.” I whispered into his ear. He
kissed me back.
“Sorry Missy, I haven’t done anything to encourage them.” I
didn’t doubt him for a moment. I had overheard the conversation he
had knocked her back.
“You can keep my seat I like this one, hell of a lot better,
my boyfriend’s lap is so comfortable too.” I kissed Sam, as the
girls left and went to the bar.
“I promise I did nothing, I promise.” I put my glass down,
kissed him again the Jolly’s were looking on.
“I know, you didn’t she was giving you a second chance. As she
hadn’t had the pleasure of my Sam first time tells me you said no.”
He held on to me tighter. “I get to hear some talks about you sat
on the loo. Nice glass of wine thank you. I may need it later they
look like fighters.” He looked worried.
“Right like I’d actually let you get hurt? I’d walk over hot
coals before I let anyone hurt you.” I had a teary moment and as he
kissed away my tears, the lads were on about shifting
pubs.
“You two love birds coming?” I drank my drink.
“Come on safety in numbers, Sam please stop worrying, I can
handle a drunken lunatic.” I got up and he linked
fingers.
“Just don’t let go please baby and stick close by me.” My word
he actually was worried.
“I won’t I promise, besides I like you holding my hand.” We
were heading for the Stockton Arms, the lads liked this place, I
found it to be a smoky hole and I didn’t leave Sam’s side as Dave
passes me another glass of wine.
“Thanks Dave.” He handed Sam a pint. “Last one I promise.” We
sat with the rest of them, names given but too many to remember.
Girls and women were being, chatted up. Me, I loved to people
watching. Sam noted the girls had followed us over and he was
getting twitchy.
“Sam stop worrying please. Nothing is going to happen.” He
kissed me.
“They’re going to Heaven after and the lads want to know, are
you coming?” I agreed.
“Yes please, I need to dance with your sexy backside.” He had
his hand on my thigh under the table.
“Your wish is my command as ever, no more wine for you
though.” He went to the bar for more drinks, one of the girls
slipped into Sam’s seat.
“Think your funny? He’s my mates fella and she not impressed.”
Keep calm Michelle.
“I don’t know you, but Sam and I have been an item since
November.” Not exactly, a lie he loved me back then. “When is she
claiming she was ever with him, last night I bet? That’s the one
and only time he’s been out without me because I was ill. If I’m
not at his, he’s with me. I actually overheard the whole
conversation in the toilet, about him knocking her back and her
trying again?
So, go and make sure she’s just not shit stirring you into
being the one getting beat up instead of her. Make no bones about
it sweetheart this is a friendly warning I will kill to keep Sam
and believe me I’ve no intentions of losing him to anyone.
Especially a pissed up and deluded lunatic.” She marched off and
after a few minutes, she was giving the other girl what
for.
“You’re a bit feisty there Michelle, she’s a nutter that one,
what did you say to her? Did you really call her a deluded lunatic?
You’ve got balls if you did.” I heard Dave speak. The girl who came
to the table waved. Then disappeared leaving the others standing
like idiots. Their barking dog had gone and left them.
“I didn’t say anything I didn’t mean, I will kill to keep
what’s mine Dave and no, the lunatic was her drunken friend, she
was fine with me.” He laughed.
“I didn’t think a slip of a thing like you had the bottle to
stick up to her.” He said that as if I knew who she was. Sam was
told of my battle with the girl who had come to defend her
friend.
“I didn’t leave Dave’s side, in fact the girl waved and smiled
as she left the others look scared of me now. If I was to walk over
I bet they walk out.” Sam gave me my coke.
“Stay sat down Rocky.” I sipped my coke whilst Sam had hold of
my knee; his hand was under my skirt playing with my
thigh.
“When did she proposition you then?” He blushed.
“Boy you’re good, she was I thought coming on to Andy and it
turns out she was after me, after we went out to play snooker, she
was in the George when we popped in for a quick drink, she was one
of his ex’s and thought she thought I would date her, and sorry to
be harsh she was a mess and stank and wasn’t that nice, not that
it’s happening for any other girl but you. Just to put you straight
Michelle.” I kissed him on his neck.
“You are a bit of a chat-up-able-guy, who can blame her? I
must stop going in toilets, I bet your names on a lot of loo walls,
you were a rouge, and I think I am going to come across more would
be wannabes, unfortunately your all mine angel, all
mine.”
“You bet your sweet arse I am, just yours and all of you is
mine baby and you’re the only one I need.” Dave slipped his hand on
my knee.
“We're going to the George for one more then are you joining
us Rocky for a boogie in Heaven?” I laughed and moved, so he didn’t
cop much more of a feel. I nodded and Sam took hold of my hand, he
really was worrying.
“Come on Sam watch me part the girls at the door.” Sure enough
they moved and Sam laughed. We made our way to the George and what
a sorry sight they looked, some of them had been drinking since
finishing work, and I’d had my bum groped twice already.
“Sam, some of your friends aren’t that nice it has to be
said.” The lad, who’d pinched my bum, went in for a third go. I
turned and grabbed his crotch and squeezed it so hard, he had tears
in his eyes. He doubled up in pain on the pavement.
“Don’t let there be a next time idiot if you’re thick enough
to touch, what you’ll never have, it will be a pair of killer heels
there instead. Keep your grubby mitts to yourself, groper.” The
lads who weren’t laughing at him helped him to his feet.
“Sam, she’s a maniac.” I smiled at his reply.
“She’s my maniac, so keep your hand off or else I’ll let her
loose on you again Jamie.” He looked at me and smiled. “Baby girl,
keep those hands where I can see them, no touching the idiots.
Especially there, I know what that touch does.” We had a quick
drink in the George and were now mob handed. The lads had girls in
tow too. We were heading for Heaven. I spotted Shane; he was with
the girl from earlier. I ran to him, he picked me up and kissed
me.
“This is my cuz Michelle this is my actual Cousin Jenny.” I
looked at Shane.
“We’ve already met once today.” She laughed and gave me a
hug.
“Bit of a gobby one this Shane, she only stood up to me.”
Shane shook Sam’s hand and led us both down after saying bye to
Jenny, who gave me a hug too.
“You were lucky she wasn’t in a fighting mood, she normally
hits first. Dotty two on my list please. Listen I can’t stop, grab
a dance later? He kissed me again and left.
“Sam dance with me, please?” The floor was filling, as he
pulled me to him and onto the floor and danced with me. We were
dancing rather raunchy to, Born to Be Alive. We danced well
together, too well, we were lost in the music and his hands were
claiming me as his, and I put up no fight, such a lush and loved up
with my fella. We were it seemed being watched, the lads were
smiling as my bum shook at Sam and the moved sexily around him, I
loved coming here it combined all the Latin American moves into the
lively disco songs. We danced up close and personal and personally
I didn’t care because Sam and I were enjoying it. I Feel Love by
Donna Summer, racier than the last. When the music finished and I
needed the toilet, Sam was right behind me.
