By mutual agreement, I didn't see Greg on the night before the presentation. After the situation we had got ourselves in earlier it seemed a bad idea, especially knowing that tomorrow was going to be it, no more waiting. I had a funny feeling the next 24 hours were going to be the slowest I had ever experienced. The weeks of waiting had been good in a way because we had got to know each other far better than would have happened if we'd been sleeping together. Our hours together would then have been spent learning how to pleasure each other to best effect, which would have been great fun but not given us the closeness we now had. I was so relieved when he said I didn't have to wait much longer though, since it had been frustrating finishing each night with a kiss and not dragging him off and getting naked.
I felt strangely lonely as I wandered around my flat that night. I had spent every night with Greg and to not have him there, even if it was just to hold hands while we watched a movie, was very strange. I decided not to visit Mark and Charlie because I wasn't sure I would stand up to much teasing tonight, I was wound tight enough as it was. In the end my decision didn't matter because the doorbell rang and when I checked they were on my doorstep. I steeled myself before opening the door.
'We were just coming to check that you and Greg are coming to the club tomorrow.' said Charlie as the two of them came in. I groaned internally. How did I get out of that without making it obvious what else Greg and I had planned?
'Sorry guys, we made other plans tomorrow. I expect we'll join you again next week.'
I swear I didn't blush or twitch or do anything, and the tone of my voice was perfectly normal. Mark must have some sort of psychic ability when it concerns sex because he was instantly on my case. 'You're finally going to get laid then?' he teased. I know I blushed in response to that.
Thank god for Charlie. 'Leave it Mark. Unless you want to sleep on the sofa tonight.'
Mark looked affronted, but still amused, and just changed the focus of his teasing. 'Good idea, we haven't done it on the sofa for weeks.' he directed at Charlie, and got him blushing as well as me.
Charlie ushered Mark out of the door apologising profusely. I didn't mind it really, it was almost funnier seeing the two of them interact, but now I would also have to deal with questions next time they saw me. I could field them easily I guessed, and it would be easier for me to joke around with Mark when he didn't have the upper hand and I'd actually got some rather than being permanently sexually frustrated.
The night passed very slowly as I had anticipated, and so did the day at work. I was on edge the whole time. I didn't have to go to the presentation but I wished Greg luck before went in. He looked terrified and I wanted to hug him and tell him it would all be fine, but this wasn't the place to do that. In fact I was so on edge I didn't dare touch him for fear of getting carried away. I just had to make it through to 5 and all would be okay. Well, probably a bit after that because I could hardly tear his clothes off in the carpark. The thought amused me though. We could do it on the bonnet of Sally's car for full effect. I almost had tears in my eyes at the vision in my head making me laugh. I got an odd look from some of the team as a result but I pretended I was listening to a comedy on my ipod.
When Greg got out of the meeting in the early afternoon we exchanged a look. He told me how it had gone and that management were pleased with the work we had done, but his look said a lot more. The waiting was over. Except it still ruddy wasn't, because I had two hours to kill. I swear that none of what I was doing on my screen made any sense whatsoever. I'd have to check it all on Monday before I could carry on. I might as well have been typing in greek because for once the code read like nothing I could understand. I could practically talk in these programming languages usually but all of a sudden my brain was mush.
Finally, it was time to go home. I had a quick word with Greg first. 'We didn't agree on where we are going?' I said quietly to him.
'I've got an overnight bag in my car, so yours if you don't mind.'
