When Sparks Fly...Chapter 15

*Oohh what happened in Cardiff? You'll have to wait and see!
SK-it's non-existent! Lol. I am way too picky too, it's a major flaw, esp. after writing about guys like Caesar, others just don't compare! Lol! Haha, personality analysis, oh I don't know! It's nothing special tbh, I've been busy working to be able to acknowledge the weather!
Samatha Brooke-yeah, Caesar's hiding something which he's not too keen on sharing. Your sad ending beats mine!
Mel-you'r so cute! Yeah, they're fighting, not good at all!
Sam MR-haha, no I'm not, I don't see why you think that when your story is amazing and so are many others! But bless you anyway!
Ms.T-yeah, they fought, not good. Why did she press the issue? Well, basically, that's what I'd do. I am way too nosy and always want to find out more and more so Tor is really based of what I'd do, hence causing an argument! Lol!
Reason J-ooh connections, I like the sound of that! Don't know how I do though! Lol!
Rebby-ahh, you're comments are always so flattering and well written.
Everyone else, I'm so glad you're liking the story enough to comment! Please continue. Honestly I am struggling with the story but comments spur me on which I need or else I become really lazy with posting. I hope you like this chapter, nothing special but I think it's warming up to something so I hope you like! Much love*
_____________________________________________

Today is Saturday and Emily, Hayden, Caesar and I are going to London for a day trip. I’m very excited as it’s been ages since I’ve been to London. I’m the most experienced compared to the others. Emily and Hayden have only been briefly as they’re from the North and Caesar sticks to one park of London and that is all, so I am declared the travel guide today.

When I told Caesar he laughed at me and said there would be no point in going because I’d get us lost. Funny man. I’m ok with places I know, just places I’ve never been before are hard to work out. I haven’t a clue what each different coloured line means-does anyone?

Hayden arrives first with a massive picnic hamper in tow. He bought all the food after we gave him some money because he works in Waitrose so he gets a discount from it all.

‘Hey honey.’ He coos to Emily as she opens the door. She links her arms around his neck and smiles.

‘Hey, I hope you got a lot of food, I am starving.’

He nods ‘Course you are, Miss Piggy.’ He slaps her arse and laughs before showing us the food. Oh I am so hungry right now.

The doorbell rings and I open it to reveal my tousle haired babe smiling at me ‘Hey Chick.’

I grin and Caesar leans down and kisses me before Emily starts ahhing at us. ‘You two are just so cute.’ She says. ‘I knew it, didn’t I, Hayden?’

I turn around from kissing Caesar and smile at how happy my best friend is for me.

‘I brought a Frisbee.’ Caesar says.

Emily laughs and says ‘Do you know how competitive Tori is at games?’

‘What? I’m not that bad!’ I say.

‘Tori, you sulked all day because I bought Mayfair on Monopoly.’

‘Well that was just mean because you knew how much I wanted the blue Mayfair square.’

She giggles and Caesar kisses my neck from behind ‘Ahh Chick.’

‘Ready to go everyone?’ Hayden says.

I grab my big coat and beret and nod ‘Yep.’

On the train to London, Em and I are snuggled up with our guys to keep warm. Pretty romantic, hey?

‘Can we play a game?’ Emily asks.

‘What game?’ I ask, twisting Caesar’s hair around my finger.

‘Truth.’

‘Or dare?’

‘No,’ She says ‘Just truth.’

I laugh ‘Ok, nutcake. You go first.’

She grins eagerly and says ‘Ok, Hayden, what’s the worst thing about being a guy?’

He laughs as he says ‘The way women assume ever guy thinks with his dick. Women think we’re always after sex, which we’re not.’

She looks at him and laughs ‘Liar. You couldn’t be celibate for long, Hayden. You are just as sex-crazed as I think.’

‘No I’m not! I’m not always up for sex.’

Emily raises an eyebrow and says ‘Whatever, honey. Your go, Tori.’

‘Ok Em, do you swallow or spit?’ I grin.

Emily looks at Hayden and says with a grin ‘Depends on what he’s eaten.’

‘What!’ What does it depend on?!

She smiles ‘God this is just plain wrong talking about this, well if Hayden eats skittles it tastes pretty good.’

‘You spend way too much time in the bedroom.’

She laughs and kisses Hayden’s cheek.

‘So both then?’

She giggles ‘Yeah, both. Hayden, your go.’

‘Right Caesar, what’s the stupidest thing you’ve done in a dare?’

I look at him and he smiles rpudly ‘I changed my name.’

‘What?’ Em and Hayden say.

He nods ‘Yeah, I changed my name.’

‘What from?’

‘Johnny Matthews to Caesar Salad King.’

Hayden bursts out laughing and Emily can’t help but giggle ‘Top man.’ Hayden says shaking Caesar’s hand. Boys, honestly!

‘Caesar, your go.’

‘Right, Hayden, if Emily was your slave for a day, what would make her do?’ Caesar asks.

Hayden grins and Emily looks at Hayden intently ‘Um, well I’d make her wear next to nothing, maybe some sexy French knickers and a tight bra and make her fulfil all my fantasies.’

‘Which are?’ I dare to ask.

Emily blushes and says ‘Don’t you dare, Hayden.’

Hayden laughs and says ‘She’s done most of them.’

Caesar smiles and I can tell he’s fitted in so easily with our tight group of three, which is now a permanent four. I think Caesar’s going to be around for a while now.

‘Ok, group questions now.’ Emily says ‘What’s your biggest turn on?’

Everyone smiles and I say ‘Oohh that little bit of hair heading southwards on a guys stomach, it’s very sexy.’

‘Ooohh someone’s getting saucy.’ Emily winks.

I laugh and Caesar hugs me tighter.

‘Um, hair.’ Emily says ‘I love your hair, Caesar. I can’t help it. I’m getting Hayden to grow his out because he’s naturally curly.’ Mmm, she does love her curly hair.

‘Um, legs in tight skinny jeans.’ Caesar says.

‘Yeah, I agree.’ Hayden adds.

‘Ooohh this is a good one, what is the cheesiest pick up line that you have ever heard?’ I say.

‘Oh God, um, ok, If you were a hamburger, you'd be a McGorgeous.’ Emily says howling with laughter.

‘This one is pretty tragic if I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?’ I say giggling.

‘Um, do you sleep on your stomach? If not, can I?’ Caesar says smiling. He winks at me and I tap his arm before whispering ‘We’ll see.’

Caesar kisses my cheek and Emily smiles at us both as we wait for Hayden’s.

‘This is crude but made me laugh ‘I like maths. You want to go to my room, add the bed, subtract your clothes, divide your legs and multiply?’’

‘Who makes these up?’ I ask giggling.

‘Haven’t got a clue. Look, we’re pulling up to the station now.’ Emily says standing up eagerly ‘Oh I love London; it’s got so much character to it.’

We walk off the train onto the platform at Knightsbridge station and then take the walk to get to Hyde Park. Caesar and I are holding hands as Hayden and Emily carry the picnic.

‘Are you ready for an extreme game of Frisbee?’ Caesar asks me.

‘What’s extreme Frisbee then?’ I ask.

‘Oohh it means there are no rules, you can do anything to get it to your team player.’

‘Like what?’

‘Like I could pick you up or wrestle you to the ground to get the Frisbee.’

‘Oh really, well be prepared for me to whip your arse if there are no rules, because there’s nothing to play by then, is there?’ I tease. ‘You watch me.’

We find a nice secluded area with a lot of space to play Frisbee after lunch and we set up our picnic. Emily and I hand the plates out like dutiful girlfriends as the guys pour the drinks.

‘How are you at Frisbee, Caesar?’ Hayden asks.

‘Good, I’m ready to beat the girls.’

I look up and Caesar winks at me.

‘Let’s play now.’ Emily says.

‘I’m up for that.’ I add. ‘Be prepared to cry, boys.’

The guys oohh at our competitiveness and say ‘Game on.’

We then start to play extreme Frisbee and let me tell you, it is dangerous! Emily and are pretty nifty on our feet and put the guys to shame. But Caesar being just as much as a sore loser as I usually am scoops me up in his arms and spins me around making me dizzy, trying to get me to drop the Frisbee.

‘EMILY!’ I call out in excited giggles.

‘Hayden’s got me!’ She wails.

Caesar starts to tickle me as he says ‘Give in, Chick.’

‘Never!’

‘Give in!’ He teases.

‘CHEAT!’ I call out.

‘Mmm, hot, sexy cheat.’ He whispers sensually into my ear. Whilst he does this, I manage to wriggle away from Caesar, taking the Frisbee with me.

‘Oh no you don’t!’ I hear Caesar yell.

I laugh when suddenly I’m swept off my feet by Caesar. I link my legs around his waist and cling my arms around his neck as he backs up against a tree.

‘Hey gorgeous, now what if I kiss you for the Frisbee?’ He says seductively, his shaggy hair drooping over his brow bone.

Oh God it’s so tempting.

Caesar dips his head to my neck and begins nibbling at my skin and sucks ever so slightly.

‘Caesar…’ I whisper raspily.

Caesar moves me up on his waist as I’m slipping and then gently teases me with his lips, outlining my jaw line.

‘Yes…’ He says sensually.

‘Kiss me.’ I say.

I give in. I want his kisses.

I drop the Frisbee and Caesar rests me against a tree and then kisses me hungrily. Rapidly moving his lips on mine. Lust is so taking over right now. My fingers are lost in his hair and Caesar’s hands are running over every inch of my body. Caressing every curve I have and gently squeezing at my arse and hips.

‘Oh Caesar…’ I say raggedly.

He smiles against my lips as he prevents any gasp or moan from going anywhere apart from his mouth.

‘Tor!’ Emily screams across the park.

I pull away from Caesar’s lips and laugh. We got a little bit carried away, I think. ‘Draw?’ I say to Caesar.

Caesar puts me down on the floor then smiles as he grabs the Frisbee from my feet.

‘NO!’

Caesar bursts out laughing as he throws the Frisbee to Hayden.

‘Ahhh Chick, you make me laugh.’ He links his arm around my waist as we go back to Emily and Hayden.

I grin at the compliment then say ‘The feelings mutual. You make me really happy, Caesar.’ Oh I’m going all honey-moon phasey on him now.

Caesar looks down at me and plants a kiss on my lips. He has such nice lips.

‘You do to.’ He winks.

‘And I trust you.’ I say.

‘Good.’

I want him to say ‘I trust you too’, but after ten seconds I realise I’m not going to get that response. I want to find out more about his past. I’ve left it for a week but I’m going to try and bring it up again.

‘Who do you trust?’ I ask him casually.

‘You.’ He says.

‘You really trust me?’

He nods, unconvincingly so. His eyes wander off as they can’t make eye contact with mine.

I know he’s lying.

‘I don’t believe you do.’

‘What’s up, Chick? Why the questions?’ He asks.

We stop where we are and I pull away from Caesar ‘You’re not being honest with me, Caesar, I know you’re holding back a big part of you. I can feel it.’

Caesar looks out into the distance and I see him shiver.

‘Caesar…’ I begin.

Caesar looks at me and sighs ‘Chick, I do trust you, ok? I really do. I am myself around you and I’m not like that with many people.’

‘You bring out the best in me.’ I tell him ‘The nervous side of me disappears when I’m with you.’

Caesar sighs and strokes my cheek ‘You do too.’

‘But that’s a trust thing, no one has been able to do that with me except for you and Emily and Hayden. I know everything about them and it helps me understand them. I want to know you better Caesar. I want you to trust me.’

Caesar clenches his jaw before saying ‘Chick, you do know me.’

‘No I don’t, Caesar. As much as I want to, you close down whenever I try and talk about the past.’

‘The past is in the past, it doesn’t need to be brought up again. I’m happy as I am now, and that is with you.’

‘You’re worrying me, Caesar. Why won’t you tell me about Cardiff?’

‘Cardiff? Have you been thinking about Cardiff for over a week now and now you try to bring it up again?’ He says crossly. ‘You’re just being really nosy, Victoria. It’s my business and if I want to share it with you, I will, but at the moment, I don’t, ok? It’s nothing anyway. It’s no big deal.’ Then tell me.

I look at Caesar who I have clearly angered, then look down ‘I’m sorry.’ I say weakly.

He shrugs and wanders off.

‘Caesar…’ I call out.

‘I’ll call you later, Chick.’

‘Don’t go.’ He can’t go. We can’t argue again.

He looks back at me then salutes.

He’s pissed off with me big time.

But that only increases my worry about his past. What the hell happened?

Emily and Hayden look worriedly at me and I sigh as I sit back down on the picnic rug.

‘Where’s Caesar going?’

‘Somewhere. I’ve upset him, again.’

‘What? How? You were just making out a minute ago.’

I bring my knees to my chest and sigh ‘He doesn’t trust me.’

‘What?’

‘He doesn’t trust me. He won’t tell me why he left Cardiff.’

‘Does he need to tell you?’ Hayden asks.

Emily hits Hayden’s arm and says ‘Well he should be able to tell his girlfriend.’

‘But it’s not been long since you two have got together. Trust takes time.’ Hayden says again.

‘I know it does, but I don’t think he will ever want to tell me. He’s holding back and it worries me. What if something really bad happened there?’

‘Tor, Caesar likes you, when he feels the time is right, I’m sure he’ll tell you. Take things slow.’

‘I bet he thinks I’m really clingy now. I’ve mucked it all up, haven’t I? I’ve driven him away already. God, I am so crap at this.’

Emily wraps an arm around me and says ‘Don’t be silly, he probably just wants to cool down before anyone says something stupid. It’s sensible.’

‘We’ve argued before though, I don’t like it. It worries me.’

Emily then laughs ‘Honey, I argue with Hayden all the time and look at us.’

Hayden smiles then says ‘Maybe not.’

Emily turns to face Hayden and says ‘Shut up, Hayden.’

Hayden grins ‘Don’t worry yourself, Tor. It’s probably nothing special.’

As much as I want to believe Hayden, I don’t think that’s the case.
