Ardent

3 hours, Keira was feeling far from better. Staring around the pub she was praying he would walk in, but as yet he hadn’t.
”I should call him, should I call him?” she slurred, a double Malibu and coke in her hand. Kayleigh frowned, and then burst out laughing, the giggles always hit her when she drank. “No no, thistles remember the thistle. Don’t call him. Never, never again. Actually maybe you should, phone him and tell him your having lots of fun and you never want to see him again, even thought you don’t mean it, it will make him angry and he will run down here. I need another drink” Kayleigh stumbled up, clutching her cigarettes she walked over to Wayne and ordered more drinks.

Keira held her head in her hands, half laughing at the change in Kayleigh, earlier that day when they had first arrived, Waiting for their meals to be delivered they had spoke at length about James.
”He is insecure though, you need to be careful” Kayleigh nodded.
”James? Insecure? Are you joking! I’ve never met a person so sure”
”Well you are looking at him right. Drifting from one woman to the next, terrified of commitment, terrified of letting someone get to know him. He hides his fears behind his jokes. A little bit like you”
Keira had flumped her head on the desk, “I hate psychology students”
”I’m right though, and then he opened himself up and you stung him a little but he should be expecting this type of reaction. He will get over it, this isn’t the end”
”No he wasn’t he was expecting me to understand how he felt and I didn’t. But I do now, do you think he will come and find me?”
”I don’t know” Kayleigh smiled as Wayne served their meals, “Wayne have you heard from James today?”
Keira kicked Kayleigh under the table, the less people that knew about her and James the better; she owed him that at least.
”Can’t say I have, he is meeting me here in a bit though, but he hasn’t called. Why do you ask?”
”Oh well you know, he’s like the puppy we never wanted, plus I need to lend money”
”You’ll have a job, he’s in debt as he is” Wayne chuckled, walking away.
”Debt?” Keira echoed, “He never told us that!”
”Hides it, behind jokes” Kayleigh nodded, “Don’t worry about it, we can hardly talk, students are the worse for debt,” she laughed.
”Oh god he is coming here, I look a fright” Keira whined, fiddling with her hair.
”Since when did you care about your appearance, anyway you always look a mess and he still wanted you2 Kayleigh laughed, leaning over and stealing a chip from Keiras plate.
”James does that” Keira whined.
”Oh for Christ’s sake” Kayleigh yelled, “Right hurry up and eat clearly I need to get you drunk to get another conversation out of you”

Kayleigh walked back and dumped two more Malibu’s and cokes on the table, smiling she seated herself opposite Keira and grinned. “James is on his way, Wayne said he just called, and get this he wasn’t coming down, until Wayne said we were in here”
”Kayleigh did you tell Wayne about me and James, because ill be really pissed off if you did”
”Of course not I’m not stupid, James said to Wayne he didn’t feel like coming out, and then Wayne said ok, but we were here and we are drinking and laughing and whatever, and James said he was on his way!” Kayleigh seated herself backwards and lit up a cigarette. “I am the master of cunning”
”You didn’t do anything” Keira laughed.
”I know, how cunning” Kayleigh giggled, watching Keira run to the toilets to check herself over. Glancing up she noted a bunch of burly looking men walk through the door, and head for the bar. One of them took the bar cues and the others ordered drinks. Looking back down she lifted her drink and took another swig, as she looked back up James was stood in the door. Kayleigh heart lifted, she had never seen him look so afraid, quickly checking Keira hadn’t left the toilets yet she jumped up and hugged him tightly. James blinked and hugged her back.
”Are you ok?” she whispered.
”Not bad” he mumbled, “I need to talk to her”
”Yeah, she isn’t ok, and I am going to be at the pool table for awhile, bye” she winked, skipping over to the group of males who were already staring at her body. Kayleigh smiled, and flicked her hair. Men were so easy.

James sat himself at the now empty table, nodding to Wayne, he smiled as the bar man brought him a Guinness. Left alone once more he sipped his pint and stared at the table. Hearing a door open he heard footsteps approach, they stopped for a second and he heard her exhale, ‘then carry on walking toward him. James looked up to face her and smiled as she nudged him over to sit beside him instead of opposite. James pulled her to him, and shivered as her arms snaked around his waist. They didn’t say anything for a while; they just sat there holding each other.
”I’m sorry James” Keira finally whispered out, “I’m sorry I said it, but I’m not sorry for feeling like that. How else am I supposed to feel?”
”I don’t think you realise what it means for me to actually say I love you” he sighed. “But then I guess you wouldn’t. Look I don’t want to talk about it anymore; I just want to forget it like you said. We will see where we end up”
Keira stared at him, “So what then?”
”Nothing, we just have fun, maybe I said I love you too soon. Did I?”
Keira could see doubt in his eyes, “Yes, it was soon, but I said it too, we both rushed this. I don’t want to lose you James; I want to see how we do. Can we?”
James smiled and kissed her; Keira clung to him and kissed him back, “I thought you didn’t want anyone to know?” she whispered.
”Fuck them” he growled, kissing her once more. Until they heard shouts of joy from the pool table, Kayleigh was cheering them along with all the men she had befriended. Wayne was laughing and shouting that they should get a room.
”Yeah lets” James laughed, lifting Keira to her feet, “I want you” he whispered in her ear, trailing one finger down her back. Keira blushed, and jerked out of his way.
”No chance, I cant leave Kayleigh here by herself. I came out with her and I’ll have to go home with her” Keira looked over James shoulder to see Kayleigh joking and laughing with the group of men.
”I think she is doing just fine,” James laughed, pushing her against the wall; Keira could feel his erection pressing into her and looked about wildly.
”James” she breathed, feeling her body respond, “Please”
”This is what you do to me” he breathed, kissing her neck, “Lets leave”
”James I cant its not..” Keira lost her sentence as his hand cupped her bum, and his mouth pressed against hers. Keira shivered as he pressed harder against her, and gasped as he squeezed her bum tighter, sending shivers up and down her spine, “Fuck it lets go” she laughed, grabbing his hand, he jumped as she pulled him forward. Throwing him against the bar, he grinned at Wayne and watched her run up to tell Kayleigh she was leaving, Kayleigh shook her head and laughed, winking at her, she hugged goodbye and walked back to the pool table.

Holding hands James and Keira ran quickly back home, stopping only once at the park, where he thrust her up against a tree. It had started to rain and then branches held a little shelter, as they held each other below the leaves. Keira brushed his wet hair from his face, and stroked his beard. James blinked slowly, shaking the water from his hair, pressing himself against her he snaked his arm round her back and grabbed her bum, pushing her hard against him, she could feel the outline of his penis perfectly and groaned, it turned her on, she wanted him, there and then if possible. Whipping her hand to cup him, she kissed him hard and smiled as he let out a rough growl, hissing as she fondled his manhood. It was only when she spotted some children in Wellingtons running toward them, did she fling him backwards. James cried out as the rain trickled down his back, turning to see the children he turned his back on them and followed Keira who had already started running through the park. Catching up with her, he ran along side her panting.
”Why is it, every time we are together it rains? Or thunders?” he laughed.
”You put people in a bad mood” Keira shouted, jumping over a log, “So collective bad moods change the weather”
James laughed and ran at her, lifting her in his arms, she gripped him tightly, screaming wildly.
”James your going to drop me” she cried, holding onto his back for dear life. James didn’t drop her though, instead he kept tight hold of her all the way to her house, and only dropped her so she could fetch her keys, jamming it in the door she grinned as James shoved her through, kicking the door shut behind them. In the hallways he threw her against the wall and kissed her, lifting her up, she wrapped her legs around him and pulled off her top, undoing James buttons she freed his beautifully toned body from its shirt,. Keira ran her hands over his shoulder blades, as he grappled with his trousers, dropping them he ripped down her knickers and thrust him self into her. Standing in silence, he still held her up against the wall, Keiras legs tightened around him and they both growled, grabbing her bum, he thrust himself harder into her, revelling in her crying out in joy. James kissed and bit at her breasts with each thrust, nestling his head in her chest as he worked himself harder and harder to please her. Feeling his legs weaken he turned and they fell onto the stairs. Crawling together they pumped and thrust and cried out, climbing the steps every few minutes. Suddenly on the landing, James lifted her up in the air, still inside her and far from finished; he dropped her down on the bed and began the real work. Keira felt her orgasm roaring through her body as he licked his fingers and rubbed her heat, while thrusting her. Wet and wonderful, they slipped against each other, until Keira cried out and exploded against him. James growled and increased his pace, grabbing her hair and pulling her head to him, he kissed her hard and strong, Keira stroked her hand down his body and squeezed his bum, lowering her hand she carefully stimulated his Perineum, until he couldn’t bear it anymore. A noise escaped from him that she had never heard before as he came hard and fast within her. Collapsing on top of her he panted wildly.
”That was a nice little trick” he gasped, referring to her fondling of him.
”Yeah, learnt that from a book” she laughed, “I’ve never tried it before though”
”I feel like a guinea pig” he yawned, snuggling into her, “A very happy sexy guinea pig”
”Your comparing yourself to a Guinea pig?” Keira laughed, pulling the blanket up over them, hearing him yawn she followed suit, and pulled his arms around her. James made a few humming noises before he finally fell asleep in her arms. Keira kissed his head and closed her eyes.

Kayleigh stared at the front door and pulled Keira’s keys from it.
”Who just leaves their keys in the door?” she asked herself, “Stupid Keira” grumbling she walked into the hallway and stared around in amazement. Clothes all over the floor, Keiras bra was among them, Kayleigh didn’t want to step any further in case they were in the front room. However on closer inspection she spotted the carpet hanging off the stairs and guessed they had made it up there. Lifting the wet clothes from the floor, she shook her head and smiled, not even wanting to know what they had been up to, she dropped the clothes in the laundry basket and headed up the stairs. Keiras room had been left open and she could see their hugging figures outlined in the bed and smiled.
