She tipped her glass up to him, hoping that they would have many more good times, it had been a great evening so far and a lot of fun. She actually couldn’t remember the last time that she had smiled this much in one night. Lately, she had been sadder than anything else with T.C. At least, this was pretty much a stress free night for her.

“Julian, very good, the pasta is perfect.”

“Well thank you, but you helped too, we both did a good job.”

He took another bite and was watching her eat it, so delicately, that he wasn’t paying attention and dropped it on his shirt.

“Oh Julian, I think you just did quite a number on yourself.” She said laughing.

“Oh crap, I can’t believe this, you see what you do to me Eve.” He said smiling.

“You have to be more careful, well at least it blends in with the red shirt.” She said trying to contain her laughter.

“Damn, now I have to go and change the bloody thing.”

“No Julian, it’s okay, we will just wipe it off.” She said getting up from the table.

“Do you want me to come with you?”

“No, just stay here, I will just be a moment.”

Eve then returned with a cloth.

“It will be a bit wet, I hope you don’t mind, but perhaps I can get the stain out right away for you.”

“I don’t mind at all, but why don’t you finish your dinner first Eve?” He said as she stood close to him, rubbing the shirt.

“No it’s okay Julian, I am full thanks.”

He watched her intently as she worked to get the stain out. She was so close to him, she was so beautiful in his eyes, and not to mention that she smelled so lovely, wearing a perfume he had never noticed before.

“Julian, I think I got most of it out, is that good enough for now?” she asked.

He didn’t say a word, but couldn’t stop staring at her.

“Julian, what is it?”

He leaned forward, still sitting in the chair and began to kiss her neck, a scene reminiscent of the time when he was hurt and in the hospital bed.

“Oh Julian.” She said closing her eyes for a moment.

“What do you say we leave the table?” he said into her neck.

“Um, sure, but what do you say we clear the table first?” Eve said.

“Oh, you want me to clear off the table do you my dear?” he said winking.

“You know what I mean, come on now, help me clean up.”

“Eve, there is no need, the help will be back later on, let them do it, I don’t want you having to work anymore.”

“Julian, it takes a whole minute to clean up and put everything into the dishwasher.”

“Eve, you aren’t here to work remember, I invited you over so you could relax.”

“I realize that, but weren’t you just saying that you never get to do every day things, well this is one of them, you take a glass and a dish and then you carry them, can you handle that?” Eve said smiling.

“I can handle anything.”

He handed her the dishes and she closed the door.

“There, all done Julian, gee, it’s a tad warm in here, I am going to take off my sweater.”

“Do you want me to turn the thermostat down?”

“No it’s fine, I will be okay, if I get cold, I can just put it back on.”

“Or I can warm you up.” He said hugging her.

He couldn’t help but stare at her when she placed her sweater on the chair. The tank hugged her body in all of the right places.

“Well now that we have finished dinner, what do you say we get more comfortable?”

“And where shall we do that Julian?”

“It doesn’t matter dear, the living room, the bedroom, wherever.”

“The bedroom Julian?” she said looking at him quite curiously.

“Oh we don’t have to, it was just a suggestion, and anywhere is fine really.”

“Well how about I make some coffee or you could, can you handle that?” Eve asked.

“Yes of course I can and we can have it on the sofa?”

“That sounds nice.” Eve said.

He put on the pot of coffee and Eve stood there waiting patiently for it to brew.

“So this was great Eve, don’t you think?” Julian said.

“Oh very much so, I really enjoyed teaching you to cook.” She said crossing her arms.

“Are you a bit chilly?”

“Slightly, but let me get my sweater then.”

As she went to take it off of the chair, Julian grabbed her by the hand.

“Come here.” He said.

She looked at him for a minute.

“I just want to warm you up dear, don’t worry.” He said rubbing her arm.

“Nah it’s okay, I will just put my sweater on.”

“Eve, is something wrong, am I making you nervous?” he asked.

“No Julian, why?”

“Well you seem a bit hesitant to get close.”

“Well, what if Rebecca comes back?”

He shook his head and smiled.

“Eve, I told you I would take care of it didn’t I?”

“But Julian, what if she comes back early, what if she catches us?” Eve said looking at the clock.

“She won’t, I promise you, you have to learn to relax honey, that is why I asked you to come over here, so we could spend time together, I love how cautious you can be, but don’t, it’s not necessary at all. Everything will be fine, really it will.” He said hugging her.

“Well the coffee is ready so can you get me the mugs please Julian?”

“Um, sure, okay.”

Eve poured them and he followed her into the living room.

“Hey, how about a blanket, that will keep you warm Eve, I know we have one in the closet, just a minute.”

She sat there, sipping her coffee, while he looked.

“There, I knew I would find one.”

He put it over her and sat down next to her, watching her as she drank the coffee.

“Don’t you like yours Julian?” she said suddenly.

“Oh yeah, it’s fine, just a bit hot right now.”

“I like it hot.”

He looked at her and smiled devilishly.

“I am talking about the coffee, how can you drink it anything less than scalding, it’s cold then.” Eve said.

“It doesn’t matter, coffee is coffee, and besides, why are we discussing this dear? Next we will be arguing over whether medium or dark roast is better.” He said laughing.

“I’m sorry Julian, I was just making small talk.”

“I know that sweetie, but perhaps, we can talk later?” he said putting down her cup on the table.

“I’m not finished with that yet.” Eve said firmly.

“Eve, again it’s coffee my dear, I can make you a gallon later on if you like.” He said putting his arm around her.

“But I want to finish this.”

He sighed and looked at her.

“You know, you think I am stubborn? Not as stubborn as you Eve, not by a long shot.”

“Why am I stubborn, I don’t believe in wasting good coffee Julian.”

“The things we do for love, alright, finish your coffee then.” He said smiling.

He sat there waiting patiently and watching her.

“If you think I am going to suck this down my throat, it’s not going to happen.” Eve said.

“Darling, come on now.”

“No, you will have to wait, I am going to enjoy this to the last drop.”

“My God, Maxwell House is getting more action than I am.” He said pouting.

Eve burst out laughing, almost spilling the cup all over her.

“Oh and I get the point Julian.”

“Well good, because I think you like to tease me sweetie, but as they say, you tease, you please.” He said smiling.

“Yeah, sure, whatever.” She said rolling her eyes.

But then, she finally put the cup down and put his arm around her.

“I could stay like this all night.” She said.

“You mean me just holding you or….”

“I don’t know, I just like feeling content, safe, secure.”

“I understand.” He said pulling her close to him.

“Julian?”

“Yes?”

“Do you really think that we can work this out?” she asked.

“Eve, I want to so badly, you don’t know how much I want to be with you, physically, emotionally. I just want to show you how much I love you in every way.”

“Even if we have to do it in secret right now?”

“Yes even in secret, let me show you how much I care for you, let me prove to you that I can be here for you.” He said looking into her eyes.

“I want you to be here for me.”

“I will Eve, I will never abandon you ever again, you have my word, believe me if I could make Rebecca take off, I would. I don’t want to be with her, you know you are the only one for me.”

“And if only I could leave T.C., but I can’t yet, I just can’t.”

“I know that darling, don’t fret about it, everything will fall into place in time, right now, let’s just enjoy being with each other. It may not be out for the world to see, but I will show you just how much I love you Eve.”

“Awww Julian.” She said pulling him even closer.

“I mean it Eve, I love you with all of my heart.”

“I know you do, I love you too Julian. Do you have a pillow in that closet at all?” she asked.

“Oh are you tired dear, would you like to have a rest?” he said concerned.

“No, but I just want to lay down on the couch.”

“Sure, be back.”

She sat there, finding it hard to believe in some ways that she was there with him, but at the same time, she was very pleased that she could be.

“Okay my sweet, I wasn’t sure if you wanted foam or feather, it looks like we have both, so here is a foam one.”

“Thanks Julian.”

“No problem.”

He sat down next to her and gave her the pillow.

“Oh maybe I should move if you want to lay down right?” he said laughing.

He stood up and looked at her lying there.

“You are stunning, do you know that?”

She didn’t say anything.

“Well anyway, I will just bring the cups in the kitchen, you take it easy.”

But before he could pick them up, she pulled him on top of her to his surprise.

“Eve!”

“Julian.” she said looking into his hazel eyes.

“I thought you wanted to rest honey.”

“I want you to do something.”

“What’s that love?”

“Kiss me.” She said bluntly.

He crushed his mouth firmly against hers; she ran her fingers along his belt, pulling his oxford shirt out of his pants.

“Oh, you are getting a bit frisky darling.”

“Don’t talk, just kiss.” She whispered.

“Yes ma’am.” He said saluting her.

Julian kissed her more intimately, more passionately as she undid the buttons on his shirt as quickly as she could. She slid the shirt off of his arms and threw it on the floor.

“You can put the blanket over you if you like Julian.”

“I don’t need it Eve, it’s hot enough already.” He said lifting the tank top over her head.

“Well, you may not need it, but I do.”

“I won’t let you get cold, I can guarantee that.” He said.

“Fine, then, but will you at least turn the light off or something, I can’t make out this way.”

Julian laughed and got up to turn off the ceiling light.

“And make sure you turn on the small lamp at least.”

“I thought you wanted it dark.” He said.

“Not completely, I don’t want to be trying to feel my way around for you.” Eve said.

“Darling, I wouldn’t have a problem with that, really.” He said laughing.

“That’s good Julian.”

“Are you sure everything is up to your standard now?”

“Very funny, and yes.” She said smiling.

Julian pressed his body against hers once more, loving the sight of Eve in a black lacy bra. She ran her fingers up and down his back as he showered her with kisses.

“Oh Julian.”

“I like this bra honey, it opens in the front, why didn’t you wear this one in the car in L.A.?” he said smiling.

She lay there enjoying his kisses, as she felt his hand undo the last clasp, he stopped kissing for a brief moment to look at her and admire her. But she felt a bit uncomfortable as she did in the car that time and tried to cover herself up once more.

“Eve, don’t be bashful in front of me.”

“I can’t help it, I just don’t like being looked at like that.”

“But why Eve, you have no reason to have to hide yourself.”

“It’s a woman thing Julian, we are quite shy about our bodies sometimes, especially when a man is looking like you are. It’s like being on display for the whole world to see.”

“Well the whole world is not here, it’s just you and me and I can’t help but look because you are beautiful, not just there, but everywhere Eve.”

She sighed, feeling quite nervous.

“Eve, I love you and I know that we haven’t been “together” in a very long time, but it’s still me.”

“You are not the same person I knew then Julian.”

“I know that Eve, but I have become a better person don’t you think? If anything, I am more in love with you than ever. I want you to feel as comfortable about getting intimate as you do talking to me.”

“That is just a bit awkward for me.”

“Don’t let it be, you have nothing to fear, nothing to worry about. Just be you in all aspects and that includes this way. Let me show you how much I love you.” Julian said.

“Okay.” She said after a few moments.

Julian kissed her once more, loving the feeling of her body up against his. She didn’t hesitate when he caressed her upper body; she just forgot about feeling a bit awkward and tried her best to relax. Julian could feel her getting less tense with him, and he loved it when she opened her mouth to give him a deep and sensual kiss.

“That was nice.” He said looking at her.

She undid his belt and in a heartbeat, Julian was kicking his pants off, down only to his boxers. He did the same thing, quickly getting rid of Eve’s pants as well. He looked at her, lying there, only in her underwear.

“You look so amazing.” He said shaking his head in complete awe.

They started to kiss again, but Eve surprised him by having Julian sit up on the couch once more.

“What are you doing honey?” he said.

Without saying a word, she got close to him once more, kissing him quite passionately, sitting on top, being in control.

“Oh Eve, I just love when you take charge.”

“That’s good.”

“But what do you say that we go upstairs, I mean don’t get me wrong, the couch is good, but I have a king sized bed and we can have more room to…oh I don’t know.” He said smiling devilishly.

“Okay, let’s go.” She said.

Julian grabbed all of their stuff and went upstairs. He opened the door to his room and he kissed her as he moved her towards his bed. He didn’t wait too long to shed the last bit of each of their clothing, throwing the rest on the floor.

“My beautiful Eve, how I have waited for this moment for so long.” He said.

Eve could feel her heart beating rapidly at the thought of what was to come, a chance to finally be together again. Eve closed her eyes as she felt Julian’s mouth explore her most intimate parts of her body. She hadn’t felt so loved in such a long time, the passion and chemistry that they shared was wonderful. He stared at her for a few moments, being face to face again.

“God, how I love you.” He said to her.

“Oh Julian.”

“I do Eve, you will never know just how much.” He said.

As he brought his body over hers to become one, they were suddenly startled when the phone rang.
