The Lovers Contract

At Least I'm Not Pregnant

My eyes slowly peel open, I feel groggy, with yesterdays makeup and clothes on this was defiantly not a great start to the day. I shuffle my way to the bathroom to find a puffy eyed, mascara smeared face looking back at me in the mirror, starting to undress I look down to see I have started my day of the month. Great. As if this morning couldn't be more opposite to last night if I tried with everything going wrong. I clean myself up in the shower and get ready for the day. Deciding today should defiantly be a cosy day I reach into my wardrobe and pull out some tracksuit bottoms, a soft cotton bralette and a black, oversized, soft cardigan that I do up with its big wooden buttons at the front. I then french plait my hair into two plats leading down my back so that it's out of the way. Nice, cute but cosy. I grab some breakfast from the kitchen and sit down at my desk and bury my head in my work. 

The morning passes quickly as I barely look up from my laptop but as the day craws into the afternoon my stomach starts to cramp distracting me from my dissertation. Luckily I'm now finished and I'm just double-checking and re-reading through it, I give my brain a rest and lean back in my chair and take a deep breath through the pain raging in my lower stomach. 

"well at least I'm not pregnant" I chuckle to myself. Rummaging through my draws next to me I find some pain killers and take two and waited for the pain relief to kick in. Twenty or so minutes later I dive right back into my work for the rest of the day, as the pain has subsided I can focus again.

--- two days later ---

Dan came back from his work trip last night, we messaged each other but I told him I would see him today instead of last night which he agreed with as he was tired anyway while I just wanted to finish off my days work, so it worked best for both of us. I wanted to look pretty today unlike most of the week when I just wore oversized clothing for comfort. I put on a black denim skirt and a white flowing top before putting half my hair up, a typical innocent look to see Dan. I grab my coat  (typical British weather you can never trust it, even though it's sunny now you can never guarantee that the weather will stay the same) and some Doc Martines and a small bag with lady bits in, just in case, before leaving the house. 

Dan and I had agreed to meet in our usual place and we would have a catch up at his house, it was more convenient, nicer and quieter at his house and we didn't have to worry about getting in the way of any housemates. On my walk to his car, I text Abi to let her know that I will be gone for a few hours so that she wouldn't worry and continue my journey. When I jumped into the car he was texting someone on his phone but quickly finished it ensuring that all his attention was on me. Although his smile was welcoming and stretching from ear to ear it could not hide the tiredness behind his eyes.

"Hi princess, god I missed you" he leaned over and kissed me on the cheek "how have you been" Dan continued as he reached over my shoulder and put my seatbelt on for me, I wasn't a baby I could easily do this task myself but I did enjoy being looked after so I didn't question it any further.

"Well thank you" in a surprisingly exciting voice, I knew I was happy to see him again but no need to be so forward with it, "uh what about you" I tried calming my voice. 

"Yeah good now thanks babygirl, especially now I have you in my sight again" this made me blush which he could easily tell as he revved up the engine and started to cruise back to his house. " your looking very cute today was there an occasion?" he questioned which I shook my head too. he placed his hand on my thigh and we drove back to his house creating small talk between the both of us. I told him about my dull week working but how I had finished while he told me that he went away to Switzerland to sort some business. It all sounded very technical so I just nodded and agreed to most of what he was telling me, it was sexy how passionate he was about his work and that he wanted to share that part of his life with me.

Turning into his house I jumped out a bit too eagerly, god calm down girl, and made our way inside, once we were in his house was slightly messier than before but I guess he hadn't had time to properly settle back from last night and was still tired. 

We both took our shoes off by the front door and I placed my bag down before he led me to the sofa in the lounge and flopped down pulling me on top of him into a tight cuddle. We laid on the sofa for what felt like an eternity in silence in a tight embrace, once we had taken in each other we reshuffled to lie next to each other on our sides with our noses almost touching each other. He nuzzled his nose against mine which caused me to let out a small giggle, I felt on cloud 9 I was in heaven. 

I closed my eyes enjoying Dans muscly arms holding me tightly and seconds later his lips pressed against mine and he slowly slid his tongue into my mouth, my hands started tugging on the back of his hair. Our small kissing session quickly turning into a make-out session. His hands start rummaging under my clothes slowly edging his way to my private area, he started teasing me by pulling up my skirt which shook me out of the moment and I firmly pushed his hand away. I could tell this also took him out of the moment by the puzzled look on his face.

"I..I...I'm sorry I can't" I stuttered hoping he would know why but this only caused his face to look even further confused "Its that time of the month" I whispered almost hoping he didn't hear. His face broke out into a smile 

"Oh babygirl why didn't you say" he seductively whispered as he held my chin and kissed me. he then moved away with a look of realisation "wait are you not on any protection yourself" I shook my head "okay princess lets get that sorted then" He got up and took out his phone from his pocket.

"Hello"

"Yes I would like an appointment, today if possible" while he was listening to their reply he gave me a wink, what appointment was he talking about.

"perfect, on our way" and ended the call with no name or reason or purpose. He reached out his hand which I took and pulled me up from the sofa "come on princess lets get you sorted" he gives me a warming smile while guiding me to the front door again. I started to tense up  I didn't want to go to wherever he was taking me whatever it was it didn't sound fun. Feeling me tense up he rubbed my shoulder and kissed my forehead "don't worry princess we are just going to see my friend to see if we can get you on some protection nothing bad" I nodded but still wasn't pleased he had booked something medical on my behalf that was my problem, not his. Before I knew it we were back in the car on our way to 'my appointment'.

"Sorry but it's my body, not yours" I started to feel anger rise for me 

"I need to look after you princess, it's my number one priority and we both know you can't get pregnant right now". He was right and he knew it, we drove in silence to his friend's house. Once we reached his friend's house I realised it was a private doctors surgery, I could not afford anything private. I started to panic but before anything could escalate Dan had tuned himself to face me and placed his hand on mine.

"don't worry about the money" he calmly said as if he could read my mind " My friend is a doctor here and any costs I will cover but he will give you the option I, nor him will force you into anything" and squeezed my hand. We got out of the car and made our way to the surgery, once inside it was all white and very clean, and gave off that typical doctor smell,  we walked past reception where the receptionist and dan both nodded to each other and went straight to the door at the end and walked in. 

Dan sat down in the medical chair and pulled me onto him so I was sat directly across his lap. I felt stupid this is what you do to babies. His friend then came through the door and sat in the chair and gave Dan a smile before looking at me. Ignoring the fact I was sat on Dan's lap he continued to tell me about the pill which is what we decided was best for me and told me to start taking the pill after my period finished. Both dan and I thanked him and left with a couple of months worth of the pill and made our way back to his house. 

"Thank you for being such a good girl you defiantly deserve a treat" Dan cooed when we got inside his house, He called for pizza delivery and started to run a bath for me. "I won't be joining you in the bath today princess but I will let you know when the pizza gets here they said there was at least an hour and a half wait so there is no rush" gave me a kiss on my forehead and left me in the bathroom.  

Once the bath was full I got in and relaxed, wow I was being spoilt, he did make up for the appointment today. As annoyed as he had made me feel he did know how to make up for it. I soaked in the bath taking in all the bath salts that Dan had put in for me and relaxed. Before I knew it the pizza was here, which was perfect timing as the bath was getting cold, I got out and pulled one of Dans tops on and some tracksuit bottoms and ate pizza downstairs on the sofa. He had put on the film dirty dancing, which was defiantly put on for me, I cant see this being Dan's choice of film. I guess you could say I had forgiven him by now. I look at the time and realise that a whole day had passed and I only expected to be with him for a couple of hours with my dissertation deadline so close. 

I jump up, disturbing the peace and gather my bits starting to feel flustered.

"Excuse me princess" Dan questioned.

"I'm so sorry but my dissertation is due and I didn't think I would be out for so long, please can you drop me home. I will make it up to you but I just need to go over things" I continued but he just ignored the rest of my rant and sulked his way to the car. I did feel bad I am sure he was just as excited to spend time with me but at least he knew I was right. The car journey was silent, I had defiantly ruined the moment with my spike of realisation. I look over to see Dan deep in thought. His eyebrows furrowed and his gaze focused on the road. 

The car pulled to a halt outside m house and he gave me a week smile as I kissed him on the cheek and exited the car. I wish I could have stayed. I really do, and cuddle up into his muscly arms and chest. but I only have a couple of weeks until my final assignment and then I can mess around with him. Work hard play hard is what they always say and I guess that's just what I am going to have to do. Dragging my feet to my room I throw my bag with the pill and tampons inside which fall out and scatter across my bed before flopping down at my desk once again.
