The sound of silence was deafening and it was only 9.40am, what was I going to do with my day, had meant to visit friends but they decided at the last minute to go away for a long weekend leaving me far from home with no one to visit in a place I had never been before, I had driven down last night throwing myself into bed as soon as I had got here only to be awaken the next morning by a call on my mobile saying sorry hun we went away yesterday hope we got you before you left, silly me I had decided to travel down the night before, I told them all was okay and I was still in bed, well, was not a lie, I was still after all in bed. Anyway that's why I'm sat here at now 9.45am with nothing to do.
A knock at the door breaks the silence and brings me to my feet, the thrill and excitement of something happening added a skip to my step as I walked to the door and opened it, standing there was a man, he was around my age give or take a few years with dark hair and piercing blue eyes, I stood there for a moment just starring before I realised he was starring back, I begged my pardon and asked if I could help him, apparently his car had broken down some way up the road and wondered if he could borrow my phone, Hmm do I dare let him in? He could after all be an axe murderer, but hey to late I was beckoning him in and handing him my phone, damn always been a sucker for blue eyes.
His call was short and he was not amused, after all it was a holiday weekend and no where was open or working to their full most, he informed me he could not get anyone to come out till Tuesday the very least as it was Easter weekend and even garage workers needed some time off! Damn I though, poor fella having to stick around till the holiday was over, I looked up at him and suggested we take a short walk into the town centre and maybe get him somewhere to stop, he nodded and walked towards the door and out into the sun of the day, I grabbed my bag and keys stepped outside and closed then locked the door behind us.
The sun was hot for the time of year and the walk into town was going to be nice, he grabbed a bag from his car and locked it all up then proceeded to follow me along the dirt road, he was kicking up the dirt as he walked and as I looked back at him I noticed he was wearing a frown, he looked up and a slight smile formed but he was not a happy chap. As we walked we struck up a conversation and I finally got from him why he was not happy, apparently he was on the way to a family christening and now looked like he was going to miss it, his sisters newest addition to the family, a cute little girl they named Molly, she was 5months old and the apple of everyone's eye, especially her uncles, he went on and on and on, he's face all lit up with emotions, as I watched him I could feel myself blushing, his eyes were sparkling and his hair was flicked back with the breeze and wow his muscles were showing through his white shirt, he suddenly stopped and looked at me, my face must be so red, think of something to say I was telling myself inside my head but no words came out except for,
"Hey, why bother with a room in town stop with me, if you want that is?"
Oh my god what had I said, but to late he excepted and we was turning round and walking back. The views were beautiful, I hadn't noticed them as I drove in last night but of course it was dark after all and my head was calling for a pillow, I stopped and took a deep breath in and looked out over the sea, the place I was stopping was on what I can only describe as a cliff top, the dirt road into town ran along side the edge and right into the town, the road I drove along last night was on the other side of the cottage and wow what a cottage, it had a trellace around the door way and the spring flowers were just starting to bloom, I shivered and wrapped my arms around myself, his jacket felt warm as it slid over my shoulders, I guess I had been starring at the sea a little longer than I realised, he smiled as I looked up at him and said sorry, he just carried on smiling and walked on kicking up the dirt.
I unlocked the door and stepped into the coolness of the hallway and walked through into the lounge. The front door closed behind him and I heard his bag drop to the floor, I dropped my bag and keys onto the glass table as he slipped his jacket off my shoulders, I looked up and smiled suggesting we ate as it was well past midday and my tummy was making more noise than the waves had meeting the rocks below the cliff top. He agreed by insisting he was the person to prepare the food as I was kind enough to allow him to stay till his car could be fixed, I smiled and said okay, thinking thankgod, I was so shattered after that walk and making food was the last thing I wanted to be doing even though my tummy was still rumbling away. I showed him into the kitchen and at the poor selection of food I had brought down with me the night before, he looked up and smiled telling me he was sure he could muster up something from what I had and that tonight we would for sure walk into town and eat out, his treat 'n' all, How could I say no, my tummy was now talking for me and I was agreeing with every word.
Back in the lounge I put the radio on and sat back in the big old comfy chair that was placed in the bow of the window, the view was amazing from here I could see the sea view, the seagulls dancing in the air and the sun shining down and such beautiful colour reflecting off the sea, it was totally breath taking. I placed my hands onto my tummy and rubbed as I felt a tiny kick. Yes, I was 6 months pregnant and alone, just one of them things I told myself but far from, he had been married and did not think to tell me till I was 4 months gone, so I packed what little he had at my place and told him to take a hike, which he did without looking back, which answered all my questions I was asking myself, I was a fool! But fool or not I had responsibilities now to my little bundle of joy I was carrying.
"How far gone are you?"
I almost jumped out the chair, I had forgotten he was in the kitchen, I looked up to see him stood with two plates of sanwhiches and two glasses of milk on a tray, I smiled and told him 6 months, he smiled back and placed the tray onto the glass table then walked over towards my chair and stood looking out to sea, I could feel his hand on the back of the chair slightly touching my neck,
"Beautiful view don't you think?" I asked him,
I looked up right into his eyes as he looked down right back into mine,
"Beautiful for sure." He replied capturing me and placing me into a mini trance with his blue eyes.
I broke the eye contact and started to stand, his left hand took my elbow and his other hand ran around my back as he helped me out of the chair,
"Another 3 months hey." I said,
He laughed n replied with,
"Your gonna need a crane soon."
Then as quick as he helped me up he released his hold and walked over towards the table and sat himself down.
The sandwiches comprised of cheese and tomato and took me all of a few minutes to eat, I must have been really hungry but thinking about it I had not had breakfast that morning. I sat back in my chair and drank the milk watching him finish the last of his sandwich, his jaw line was so defined and his cheek bones so high, this was the first time I had noticed this and the more I looked the more I liked, I must have been starring again because I was aware he was smiling back at me, his blue eyes took on an amazing sparkle, Jesus what was I doing,
"So, you are here till Tuesday then?" I asked,
"Well, yes or maybe a little longer till they can finish the repair on my car, If that is all right with you?"
My smile gave my answer away and he smiled back while gathering the dishes and glasses together. I walked into the kitchen and ran the hot tap filling the bowl with water then added a little bit if dish cleaner and stepped back to watch the bubbles form, he slipped the dishes and glasses into the hot soapy water as I leaned over to turn the hot tap off, my tummy pressed against the cold rim of the sink as I slid my hands into the warmth of the soap sudded bowl and proceeded to wash the few items within the bowl, I could feel his breath on my neck he must have stood a good foot taller than me and his presence so close was giving me goose bumps down my spine. I shuddered and he rubbed my arms asking if I was cold, told him I was a little chilly and he stepped that little bit closer, his firm stomach touching my back, damn I could feel the hair on the back of my neck stand up as his hands slid under my arms and around my not so trim waist, coming together to rest on my bump, I looked down as his hands slid over my bump and within my baby kicked back as if in response to his touch, his head came down and his lips touched my neck then I heard him whisper,
"There is nothing more sexy than a pregnant woman especially when as sexy as you are."
