Baggage & Buttons (40 page)

‘Well it got the job done by the looks of you. You
know I was thinking about Nana Page and vibrators and had an idea.’

‘
MIA,’
she groaned, screwing up her face. ‘That’s
just so wrong, putting the words Nana and vibrator in one sentence.’

‘What? She’s only in her late sixties and I bet she
doesn’t have loads of sex since Grandpa Page died. There must be loads of sixty
year old sexually frustrated women out there and loads of them love Elvis
Presley.’

‘Do I really want to know where you’re going with
this?’ she sighed.

‘Well I was thinking they could do an Elvis shaped
vibrator, with his guitar sticking out instead of the rabbit ears and it could
play his “uh huh huh” noise as it did its magic.’

‘Haha that’s funny,’ she laughed.

‘It could be called “Are you lonesome tonight?” What do
you think?’

‘I think Nana Page would never leave her room, along
with hoards of other 60 year old women,’ Lexi chuckled. ‘You’d start a wave of
death by heart attack from multiple orgasms for the over 60’s.’

‘I think I ought to patent that idea,’ I nodded. ‘The
vibrator, not the heart attacks.’

‘Along with your Gabriel Macht blow up doll idea?’

‘There was nothing wrong with that idea Lexi, I bet
lots of women would love to have him in their bed every night. Anyway I don’t actually
need that anymore do I? But if ever Gabe and I split up I’d still like one, but
he’d need to have my Gabe’s penis attached. You know I think you can buy kits
to make life size replicas of men’s bits now.’

‘O god, please get one,’ she grinned, her face
lighting up. ‘You could mould Gabe’s cock and let me see the life size version
without actually seeing the real thing.’

‘You’re obsessed Lexi. You’re so
not
seeing
that, it’s for my eyes only, real or sculpture. Besides where would you put it?
On your dressing table like a piece of art?’

‘I could think of one place I’d like to try putting
it,’ she winked.

‘Ok you’re
totally
grossing me out right now,’
I shuddered. ‘Please change the topic of conversation from Gabe’s penis.’

‘You started it,’ she protested. ‘I’m cock crazy since
I’ve not been getting any. Maybe we need to get me the biggest badger with
spikes and thrusts and all that jazz as soon as.’

‘Rabbit not badger,’ I sighed, shaking my head,
wondering when I became the teacher and not the pupil in all things sexual.
‘Well we don’t have much time before we need to leave anyway, so why don’t I
make you a sandwich and we can look at the website on the bus? I’ll show you
the rabbits and you can get yourself one that appeals and buy me some ear muffs
at the same time.’

‘Told you, it’s seriously weird hearing your best mate
orgasm.’

‘Yes it is, I can
totally
sympathise now,’ I
laughed.

‘Well thanks for getting me one, it’s definitely taken
the edge off. For now anyway.’

I made her a sandwich and went to get my books and gym
bag and felt my phone vibrate in my pocket.

Forgot to say I have your bangle back, remind me to
give it you later. G xx

Thank you, thank you, thank you :-) <3 M xx

We spent the whole bus journey giggling at the items
available in the online sex shop.

‘Why don’t they do it in black?’ Lexi complained when
she realised that the g-spot rabbit with rotating beads only came in purple.

‘I like them in pink or purple better than black.’

‘Pink and purple’s a bit girly,’ she grizzled.

‘Well you could always go for a standard dildo that
looks like a real penis. They have veins and balls and everything,’ I said
screwing up my face. ‘I prefer pretty ones with sparkle and glitter than
those.’

‘They can’t be that bad? Surely?’

‘Look,’ I showed her the page with them on and she screeched
with laughter.

‘Ewwww you’re right, that looks so wrong. I mean who
looks at a dick and thinks hmmm
lovely
protruding vein on that one?’

‘Sssshhhh,’ I giggled as a woman a few rows in front
turned and gave us a disapproving look.

‘Ok, you’ve sold me. I’d still prefer a black one, but
I suppose the purple one will do. All the same in the dark under the covers.’

‘Not if you get a glow in the dark one. Besides some
are waterproof and you can get also get ones with suction cups to mount in the
shower, or wherever you want if there’s a smooth surface.’

‘Jesus, look at you, vibrator expert,’ she nodded
looking impressed.

‘I wasn’t having sex Lexi, I spent ages researching
them all before ordering the few I have,’ I replied feeling my cheeks flush.

‘So which ones do you have?’

‘I have a plain black smooth plastic one with a curved
tip, a sparkly pink plastic one with a big bulbous end for g-spot stimulation,
the purple g rabbit one you’re looking at, which I can
highly
recommend,
and a plain pink silicone rabbit.’

‘Christ we could be here all day with all this choice,
let’s go for the purple rabbit then if it’s that good.’

‘Well I hope you like it as much as I do, or did, I’ve
not used it since I met Gabe.’

‘Well no need for that when you have the Norse sex god
and his wonder cock to service you whenever you want.’

‘It’s not just all about what’s between his legs you
know Lex,’ I giggled as I elbowed her in the ribs and checked out her purchase.

‘Sure, whatever you need to tell yourself,’ she grinned.

We headed straight into English, surprised to find we
were alone.

‘Jesus this is becoming a habit, we should be awarded
something,’ said Lexi as she dumped her bag on the desk.

‘This is a big amphitheatre. Do you realise the only
people I know in here are you, Gabe and Milo. I haven’t even spoken to Andrew.’

‘No big loss there. Who else do you need to know
anyway? We’re fine as we are. Never needed loads of friends have we?’ Lexi was
right, we only had three friends from back home that we kept in regular touch
with, Jess, Mandy and Lizzie.

‘No I know, but doesn’t it seem a bit odd?’ I said
frowning.

‘Not to me no.’

I watched as people began to filter in and was
positive I’d never seen any of them before, I was so focused on my own little
circle. Milo waved as he passed and climbed the stairs to his seat. I saw Gabe
enter and his eyes went straight to me, I grinned and blew him a kiss, he
winked at me and I sighed.

‘Love sick puppies,’ Lexi muttered under her breath.

‘Jealousy doesn’t become you,’ I tutted as I grabbed
my notepad and the lecture started. I was so engrossed that when my phone
vibrated that I was surprised to see it was already 3.15 p.m. as I opened my
message.

Met me outside G xx

I looked up and saw him packing up his bags. ‘Lex, make
sure you keep up, I’m nipping out for a minute.’

‘Ok, no having last minute sex in the corridor,’ she ribbed.

I tiptoed down the step and out of the door as Mr
Jenkins continued talking and pointing to the large whiteboard. I walked
further up the corridor, having learned my lesson not to discuss personal
business outside of his door the hard way. I felt really nervous about saying
goodbye to Gabe and leaned on the wall and looked down at my boots until I
heard the door swing and he came out. He rummaged in his bag as he approached
me.

‘Ok, I’ve got three things for you.’

‘What?’ I asked surprised.

‘Here’s the first,’ he said, as he slipped my bangle
back onto my wrist.

‘Thanks so much.’ I smiled up at him happily and he
smiled back then fiddled with his phone and held it up.

‘Here’s the second, listen,’ he put it to my ear. It
was a message from the GUM clinic saying his results were in.

‘So what were they?’ I asked.

‘I’ve no idea. I wanted you to listen with me when I
rang them, so you’d know I wasn’t lying to you.’

‘Gabe, I told you I trust you.’

‘I never want any doubt in your mind Mia.’ He pressed
call back and checked we were alone before putting it on speakerphone. We both
breathed a sigh of relief to be told that all of his tests were clear.

‘You realise next time we have sex, you don’t have to
wear any condoms?’ I said.

‘O god. As if I’m not desperate enough to have sex
with you again as it is, you’re leaving me with the thought that I can come in
you properly?’ he groaned. ‘Ok, quickly before I have to leave, I’ve got the
third and most important thing for you.’

‘What?’

‘Me.’

He pressed me up against the wall and held my face as
he kissed me forcefully. I could feel the passion and love in it, felt my knees
buckle and went all lightheaded and had to grip onto his backside to steady
myself. It felt as if the top of my head had lifted off I was so giddy. As if
he knew, he grabbed me and lifted me up onto his hips. I moved my hands into
his hair and we both moaned as the intensity of our kissing increased. I felt
his erection bulging in his jeans and ground against it.

‘Jesus get a bloody room you two,’ came a voice and I
gasped some air in as Gabe pulled his head back. We both looked around, me still
anchored on his hips, pinned to the wall and laughed when we realised it was
Doug.

‘Hi Doug,’ I said blushing.

‘Hi Mia. Come on big man, put her down, we need to go.’

‘One minute Doug and look the other way will you,’ Gabe
ordered. Doug grinned and turned his back and Gabe looked at me and kissed me
again, tenderly this time. I’d take his kisses anyway he gave them, he was
the
best kisser I’d ever had and he left me so weak when he finally pulled his
head away and sighed.

‘I’m going to miss you so much,’ he whispered.

‘Me too. I’ll call you later, I promise.’ I ran my
thumbs over his chiselled cheekbones and took a mental picture of his handsome
face.

‘Kiss me again baby, before Doug drags me away,’ he
ordered. I did and I gave him as good as I got until Doug started coughing. ‘Ok,
ok,’ grumbled Gabe as he kept his eyes fixed firmly on mine.

‘I could send you a very,
very
sexy indecent picture
of me later, to help you get off,’ I whispered.

‘I’ll get off just thinking about you baby, but a sexy
picture would be really nice too,’ he whispered back.

‘Guys seriously, I can still hear you when you whisper
and I’m like three feet away,’ Doug laughed. I kissed Gabe again and he
reluctantly put me down and grabbed my hand squeezing it tightly.

‘Speak to you later baby,’ he said as he bent down to
pick up his bag.

‘See you Mia,’ smiled Doug as he turned back to look
at us.

‘See you Doug and good luck. Remember I’m trusting you
to keep Julie and all the other women away from him for me.’

‘I don’t need to Mia, he’s only had eyes for you since
he first spotted you, love at first sight and all that. Dude,
seriously
,’
he groaned as Gabe leaned in to start kissing me again. ‘Let her go, we’ll miss
the coach.’

‘Like they’d go without their two best swimmers,’ scoffed
Gabe. He looked back at me with such sad eyes, that I had to bite my lip to
stop myself from crying. He may as well be going away for two years the ball of
pain in my chest was that bad.

‘Gabe go, please go now, I can’t bear you looking at
me like that. Good luck, go and win and we’ll celebrate at the weekend,’ I
kissed him quickly and started to walk away and he held my hand until the last
minute.

‘I love you baby.’

‘I love you too Gabe,’ I said as I walked backwards to
the English door, trying to keep him in my sight as long as I could.

‘Love you Mia,’ called Doug chuckling.

I watched Gabe punch his arm and I blew them both a
kiss and quickly walked back into the lecture, before I could change my mind
and beg him to stay, or to take me with him. I slumped down in my chair and
sighed and Lexi looked at me.

‘You ok?’

‘I can’t talk about it or I’ll cry. I’ve turned into a
stereotypical swooning lovesick blubbering teenager since I met him. Something
I never thought would happen. I need to focus for now thanks,’ I smiled at her quickly
and started scribbling. When the lecture was over, I packed up my notepad and
books into my bag.

‘So can you talk yet?’ asked Lexi.

‘I’ll be ok, it’s only two nights right? Like I can’t
manage without a bloody guy for two nights?’

‘I’ll sleep over with you in your room if that’ll make
you feel better?’

‘Thanks Lex that’s really sweet, but I was planning on
trying phone sex with him tonight. Unless you want to stay for that?’

‘Noooo thank you. I was only being polite, I was actually
hoping you’d say no as I fancy spending the night with my new toy. Right I’m
getting the bus home so I have time for a few rounds with him before we go out,
see you later.’
