After coming back from London, I leave Hayden and Emily to go and see Caesar and apologise. I know the way to his flat like the back of my hand now.

I knock on the door and Caesar opens it startled, with a cigarette in his hand. He’s really stressed if he’s gone back to smoking. He had given up.

‘Chick…’ He says. He quickly goes over and stubs the cigarette out and looks apologetically at me. ‘Sorry. I couldn’t help it. I needed some release.’

I dismiss it and say ‘I’m sorry about earlier on. It wasn’t fair of me.’

‘It’s ok.’ He shrugs.

‘No it’s not ok, I shouldn’t have pushed you and I know trust takes time, so I’m sorry. I’m crap at relationships and…’

Caesar stops me speaking with his finger on my lips and holds me tightly around my waist ‘No you’re not, I’m just a bit protective of things.’

I run my hands through his hair and sigh ‘I really am sorry.’

‘Don’t be.’

‘You tell me when you’re ready, if you want to and I will completely understand either way.’

He nods giving me a quick kiss before he says ‘Now, are you staying?’

I nod ‘Yes please.’

Caesar smiles and says ‘Let me brush my teeth before I kiss you.’ Caesar runs into the bathroom and starts brushing vigorously before coming out minty fresh and puckering up his lips for me.

I laugh and say ‘Forgive me for being a nosy parker.’

‘Forgiven.’ He says kissing me slowly. ‘Let’s take us slow, ok? Let’s not rush.’

I smile ‘Agreed.’ I definitely think that’s the way to go.

*

Today it’s Thursday and we stupidly have a nine o’clock lecture in the morning. I arrive drearily to the lesson and see Caesar slouched over his desk sleeping. I can’t resist the urge I have and shout ‘Boo!’ into his ear.

Caesar jumps up angrily then realises it’s me ‘Well hello.’ He says dreamily.

I smile ‘You tired too?’

He nods and rests his head on his hands. ‘I can’t believe it’s Christmas soon.’

I nod ‘I know.’ It’s nearing the end of November and it seems like I’ve known Caesar for ages when really we have only been going out officially for a five weeks; uni’s closing for Christmas soon so we’ll all be packing up our stuff and going back home to our families for the holidays. That should be interesting with my family.

‘Do you want to do me a favour?’ He asks after I unpack my bag.

‘What?’

‘Will you come Christmas shopping with me? I am useless at it and don’t know what to get the family and you’re a girl so…’

I smile at him ‘Really? And all this time I thought I was a guy!’

He pokes his tongue out and says ‘Oh be quiet, Chick, come on, I need help.’

I look at his desperate pleas and smile ‘Ok then. After the lecture we’ll go shopping.’

‘You’re a star, Chick.’

I grin ‘Ta, baby.’

Caesar smiles and winks to acknowledge that I’ve started calling him baby. Since he always calls me Chick as a name, it’s not even a pet name as he rarely calls me Victoria or anything from my name, I’ve started to call him baby. I think it’s pretty cute and soppy and I love calling him. Baby, baby, baby!

After the lecture, we go into town and Caesar takes some money out of the bank. ‘So, what do you think Ash would like?’ He asks me as he types his pin in.

I think about she’d like and say ‘What about clothes?’

He shakes his head as the notes come out of the machine ‘Oh no, clothes are a bad idea, Ash would be offended if it didn’t fit. Before she had Hope, she was a size 8, and now, she can’t get down from a ten. She’s crazy because a ten is like a stick, but she prefers to buy her own clothes.’

‘You really know a lot about her, don’t you?’

He nods ‘She’s my sister, I love her to pieces.’

I smile. He really does care about Ashlee. It’s clear in the way that he talks about her. ‘Ok, how much are you willing to spend?’

‘Doesn’t matter, I just want them to be happy.’

‘Well let’s browse then we can start making decisions. But I think Hope is going to be the easiest to buy for.’

‘Well the Disney store it is then.’ He says smiling.

So we walk hand in hand to the Disney store and I go all broody seeing the cute little kids asking their parents for the latest toy. My heart leaps looking at the price of some of these things. Why would you spend £30 on a doll?

‘Is Hope a princess fan?’ I ask, leisurely looking through the array of princess items.

He nods ‘She’s crazy about them. Ashlee tells me she spends her days in here with Hope. She’s a fan of Sleeping Beauty because she’s blonde. Apparently, Hope likes anyone who
is blonde.’

I laugh ‘Oh bless her.’ I walk around the shop then show Caesar a dressing up outfit of Sleeping Beauty ‘Oh she would look so cute in this!’ I say gently stoking the bright pink fabric.

‘That’s a great idea. Has it got her size?’

I nod and say ‘To the till we go.’

‘That’s perfect, Chick. Good spotting.’

I nod proudly as we stand in line, looking a little out of place in the Disney store.

We then go off to the Early Learning Centre as Caesar wants to get Hope into music. Poor Ashlee. ‘I want to buy her an instrument.’ He tells me as he heads to the musical instrument section.

‘I bet Ashlee will thank you for that.’

He smiles ‘Ahh, at least Hope will love me.’

We then stop by Accessorize which seems to be Caesar’s worst nightmare. He shivers as we walk towards it. The colours obviously scare him away.

‘I think we should get her a really nice bag and maybe a beret. I think she’d suit one.’ I tell him.

‘You like your berets don’t you?’

I smile ‘Yeah, they’re amazing for hiding my mess of a hair.’ Caesar follows behind me as we search for a bag. I then spot the perfect one. It’s a big, colourful bag which I think would suit Ashlee.

‘What dya say?’ I ask, showing him.

‘Let’s get it.’ He beams. Men. Straight, simple and down to the point.

‘And I think this beret would really suit her.’ I show Caesar this grey beret with beading.

I try it on, pushing my blonde waves behind and Caesar smiles as I pose at him. ‘Do you want that one as well?’

I laugh ‘No, that’s for Ashlee, I like this one.’ I say picking the purple beret up. More my colour.

I put it on and smile. ‘Gorgeous, give it here and I’ll treat you.’

‘No, don’t be silly.’

He dismisses what I’ve said and puts it on the pile. I wrap an arm around his waist and lean up and kiss his cheek ‘I think Ashlee will really like that.’

‘I hope so.’

After spending the rest of the afternoon searching for various presents, we head back to Caesar’s with wrapping paper and celotape in hand.

Mac’s not in when we get back. ‘How’s it going with the girl?’ I ask Caesar about Mac.

‘Um, well he seems to like her, so that’s a start for Mac. Do you want a drink, Chick?’

‘Mmm, hot chocolate if you have it please.’

He smiles and searches his cupboards for hot chocolate. ‘Are you going back home for Christmas?’ He asks me.

‘I am. I’m going to miss you.’ I confess as I take my coat off.

Caesar pokes his head out of the kitchen and smiles ‘Ahh Chick, so am I.’ He comes out of the kitchen and lies next to me on his sofa. He squashes behind me so we can spoon and his hand snakes around my waist and up my top to my belly button piercing. He plays with it between his fingers and starts to kiss my neck.

‘Coming here is probably one of the best things that has happened to me.’ He says after a few, sensual kisses.

‘Why?’ I ask.

He chuckles and says ‘God, you’re oblivious, because I met you, of course.’

I turn to face him and smile as his eyes stare deeply into mine. ‘Really?’ I whisper.

He nods ‘Really, Chick. Meeting you has been one of the best things that has happened to me.’ Caesar leans down and kisses me softly and then trails one hand up my back to my neck as he gently draws me deeper into the kiss.

Caesar takes a firm hold of my waist and I edge my way on top of him.

‘Don’t tease me.’ He says with a grin as I slowly run my hands down his chest, gently grazing them against his T-shirt.

‘Oh but I think you want me to.’ I say seductively.

He leans up and kisses me slowly as I straddle his waist. I can feel his member hardening as the seconds pass. He gently bites down on my bottom lip causing me to groan uncontrollably as he lowers me back onto the sofa.

We then start to get a little frantic and Caesar starts kissing down my collar bone and I’m worried about what’s about to happen and where he’s heading.

‘Wait…’ I say breathlessly pulling back.

Caesar pulls back instantly and says worriedly ‘What? Are you ok?’

‘I, I can’t.’ I look away embarrassed but Caesar turns my face to look at him.

‘We don’t have to, Chick.’ He reassures me.

‘I’m sorry.’ I mumble. I am so nervous, I am shaking right now.

He lifts my chin up and genuinely smiles at me ‘Chick, don’t be. We got carried away, it’s fine.’

‘It’s just, I’ve never, you know, done…it before.’ I blush and move off Caesar’s lap.

Caesar grabs my wrist and says ‘Baby, that’s really special.’

I tut and say ‘No it’s not, it’s embarrassing.’

Caesar pulls me back to him and says ‘No, it’s really special. I can’t believe it though because you’re so beautiful and any guy would count his lucky stars for being with you.’

I look at Caesar and can’t help but smile at his sweetness ‘Stop it. It’s not.’

‘Yes it is! God, it shows you’re not a whore and respect yourself. That’s great, Chick.’

Caesar rests back on the sofa and I lie back with him, feeling his thumping heartbeat next to my back. I snuggle into the crook of his arms and ask nervously, even though I already know the answer ‘Are you?’

He stays silent for a while before saying ‘No, no I’m not. I regret it though.’

‘Why?’

‘Well it was nothing special. It was quick and meaningless at 15. I wish I could have waited like you, but you know me. Shit happens.’ He ruffles my hair and kisses the back of my neck. ‘I should make you that hot chocolate now, shouldn’t I?’

‘Are you angry with me?’

He looks at me confused and says ‘Why would I be angry with you?’

‘For not sleeping with you.’

He smiles at me ‘Oh bless you, Chick. Of course I’m not angry. Why would I be?’

‘Because you probably want sex and I haven’t done it before and…’

‘Baby, don’t be silly. It’s great you’re a virgin. Hell, I wish I could have waited for my first time to be with someone I cared for.’ He called me baby. I think my heart missed a beat when he said that.

‘So you’re not bothered?’ I ask, just to clarigy.

He laughs ‘Course I’m not, Chick.’ He kisses my cheek and says ‘I think it’s pretty great.’

I move off Caesar’s lap and watch him go into the kitchen to make my drink. What have I done to deserve someone like Caesar? Most guys would laugh in my face. But he’s different. He actually cares about me.

When he comes back in holding a mug of hot chocolate and marshmallows, I say clearly ‘I want my first time to be with you, Caesar.’

He looks at me stunned and says ‘Do you? I mean, you can never go back and…’

I cut off his talking by putting my index finger to his lips and I nod as I say ‘I have never been surer in my life.’

He smiles and pulls me to him as he bends his head down to mine and kisses me with all the heart within him. He puts down my drink before he picks me up, supporting my body in his arms. I link my legs around his waist, holding him closer to me as we fall back kissing on his sofa…
