The following day Stacey and the big man weren’t talking. I didn’t ask why. She looked like death warmed up the poor thing. They both didn’t even stop for breakfast and they went straight home. I had a team of cleaners in clearing up after the party so I took myself out to get my hair and nails done to try and shake off my hang over. Fran called to ask me to go out with him and the boys that night. He said it was a band meeting, which was code for the four of us going out and getting smashed. The only rule at the band meeting was that no one else was ever invited. And because it was never easy to explain that to our friends or girlfriends/boyfriends we always just called it a band meeting. And they could get really messy, one band meeting we started off in London and woke up three days later in Amsterdam. Another time we started in Dubai and we woke in Dublin, I think the big man fancied a nice pint of Guinness or something. The last proper one before we moved to LA Chris got his n****e pierced. We always had stupid bets and he lost one so had to have it done but none of us could remember what the bet was. He took it straight out the next day but it was still funny. When we drank a lot together Fran and The big man always called me and Chris the ‘clever twins’ this was because we would always take things too far. Fran was always so sensible even when he was so drunk he couldn’t see straight and the big man could drink for days before he was fall down drunk, but Chris and I would always be the first ones drunk and the first ones to do something stupid, like the time I set his hair on fire and put the flames out with bare feet and he shaved half his head. We loved going out just the four of us, but this band meeting was going to be different because Chris had stoped drinking. To tell you the truth I missed the old Chris sometimes, I knew I was being selfish and that he was happier settled down being a husband and a dad but I missed the good old days. Tommy called me that afternoon after work and asked me over to his place for dinner but I told him I was going out for a wild one with the boys, I could tell he was a little put out but I explained that it was a band meeting and then a piss up and he seemed to soften a little. “I’m going to miss you princess, but have a good time and make sure they look after you I know what you lot are like when you are all together. Can I see you tomorrow?” That was a tricky one “the thing is I don’t know because they can go on for a while” he let out a laugh “how long?” “Sometimes days but never longer than a week” he sounded a little pissed off again, “I’m finished my movie in a couple of days I would love for you to come to the wrap party with me but if your still away it’s cool I’ll see you as soon as your home take care princess and text me.. I will worry about you” “thanks Tommy, your the best” I was beaming with happiness. I couldn’t believe that I was so lucky to have such a nice normal guy. I was so excited to be going out just the four of us and I started to get ready right away. By the time Chris pulled up into my drive way I was already half drunk. I took and open bottle of champagne I had been drinking out to the car with me and slid into the back seat beside the big man, I could tell he had already had a few drinks himself. Chris was driving and Fran was in the passenger seat. He had shaved off his beard and had a hair cut but I could tell he was drunk too, the whole car smelled like a brewery “f*****g hell gorgeous you look amazing” said the big man staring at my legs, he grabbed me and gave me a kiss on the lips “f**k off ya big dirty bastard, I need to have a word with you” I Leaned forward and kissed Fran and Chris on the cheek “where are we going boys?” I was that excited I couldn’t believe it “back to mines gorgeous. I need a change and we can have a few drinks then head out” said Fran already slurring his words. Fran reached forward and turned on the radio and one of our songs came on, he put the volume up and we all started singing along. The big man was staring at me “what do you need to speak to me about?” he asked. “oh yeah, did you think I meant you were going to sleep with me last night in my bed?” he started to uncontrollably giggle and it was infectious and before I knew it we all started to giggle “I really thought that’s what you meant, why do you think I was so excited?” I slapped his arm “you’re a dirty bastard big man” we all laughed. When we got into Frans house I noticed Fran had a bandage around his hand. “Are you ok honey? what happened?” I wondered why he haven’t called me to tell me he had hurt himself “nothing, just hurt it last night when I got home” “is it broken? your a wee lamb” “no but it is sore” “you poor thing” “don’t worry about him gorgeous, he’s a big boy” said the big man. We went through to the kitchen and Fran poured three large vodkas and a soft drink for Chris and we toasted to the band meeting. After a few drinks Fran staggered through to his bedroom to get changed and we sat outside by the pool drinking. It was a lovely night. We were having a laugh and I decided to ask the big man why he and Stacey had fallen out that morning. “We always argue, I can’t even remember what started it. But she’s fine now” Chris looked concerned “really?” Was all that he said. “Yeah we argue constantly I don’t know how you do it Chris” “Carmela and I don’t really argue” “oh right” “yeah when you find the right person, stupid things don’t matter anymore and their happiness is more important to you than silly disagreements. Like who’s right and who’s wrong. Me and Carmela are a team, we work together. I want to make her happy and she wants to make me happy and that’s how a marriage works” the big man and I looked at each other. He looked totally deflated and like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders. “Stacey isn’t the right person for me. I don’t even think she likes me and sometimes I hate her” it went quiet “big man you need to end things with her because you both seem miserable” said Chris. He was right and I’m glad he had the balls to tell the big man exactly what he thought. “It’s complicated Chris you wouldn’t understand” Chris shrugged his shoulders “it’s none of my business mate, but you know I’m always here for you” the atmosphere had changed pretty quickly, and I felt a little deflated too. “She says she wants me to be a better person and I that I need to grow up” he put his head down. “what she’s really saying is she wants you to change, but if you love somebody you love them for who they are, no mater what, I know I gave up drinking to be with Carmela but that wasn’t for her that was for me and I’m a better person for it” the big man just kept his head down. I felt awful for him so I decided to lighten the mood “really Chris because I think since you stopped drinking you’ve became a boring bastard” they both laughed and the big man put his arm around me “at least I can always count on you to cheer me up gorgeous” Chris smiled “yeah I am a bit boring but I’m really happy” I looked at the big man and he smiled “you deserve to be happy like Chris, in fact we all do. And I don’t think you need to change” he gave me a smile “thanks gorgeous, the thing with her is shes constantly putting me down. And if someone tells you your not a good person over and over then you start to believe them. She’s tiny but shes cut throat” “I think you are both guilty of being a bit selfish and in happy relationship all that has to stop” “if I met the right girl I would treat her well, and I would kill for her no matter what the consequences where” I thought back to all the times he had said that he would kill for me. “You’ll meet the right person one day honey” I said and kissed his cheek. Chris looked at the big man and patted him on the back,then said “who wants to see a photo of Waterfall” He grinned like a Cheshire Cat and took out his phone “this is her yesterday wearing the new dress you bought her” I took his phone and showed it to the big man, “she’s so cute” he said with a little smile. We started to flick through all of his photos they were all of little Waterfall and Carmela and I had a pang of jealously. My baby would be around the same age and I thought about my little baby every day and every time I held waterfall. Sometimes it was unbearable and this was one of them, “I lost a baby, they would be the same age as Waterfall” it was completely silent between us. “What?” Said Chris taking my hand “yeah I found out that I was pregnant and then went to that awards thing with Stefan then he kicked the s**t out of me and the next day the doctor said I had lost it. Then a few weeks later you and Carmela told us about Waterfall” the big man grabbed me into a bear hug. “Why didn’t you tell us this before?
Does Fran know about this?” Asked the big man “please don’t mention it to him” was all I could say, they both nodded. Fran hadn’t told them so clearly he didn’t want them to know. And I wasn’t even sure why I was bringing it up, I just knew I had to tell them because they were my best friends. “I’m glad you can talk about it Lydia” said Chris. “even if it did take you a year” “you know what I’m like Chris” “I know, but we are your best mates, you need to start opening up” “ok, here goes” they both looked at each other in shock “I’ve been holding this in for ages but I need to tell you both” “what is it gorgeous? you can tell us anything” I took a deep breath “it was me that ruined Carmela’s veil at the wedding” they both started laughing. Chris looked at the big man “I can’t wait to hear this, it’s going to be hilarious” an hour passed and Chris was telling us about his AA meetings and all the people he had met and how he did find it hard sometimes but he was really trying not only for himself or Carmela but for Waterfall. They didn’t ask me any more questions about the baby, they both knew me well enough to know not to push it and that I would tell them if I felt like it in my own time. The big man told us that he had went back into therapy not as a s*x addict but because of how much better he felt talking about his feelings with someone. I felt bad as if I hadn’t been there for him because he had to pay a stranger to talk to, then Chris said “I’m pleased for you mate” I was pleased for him too but this was not the band meeting I had signed up for. I thought we would be stuffing 100 dollar bills into strippers thongs instead I was sitting at Fran’s pool sobering up and talking about our feelings. What a boring night, I thought to myself “wait where’s Fran, he’s been gone for ages, I hope he hasn’t hurt himself” all three of us jumped onto our feet. And ran through to his bedroom and there he was star-fishing on the bed “well I can officially say that tonight is a bust, I’m going home, do you mind dropping me off Chris?” “Yeah let’s go” we turned off the lights and I put a blanket over Fran. And we headed out to the car. We practically drove home in silence. We were all lost in our own thoughts. When I got home I was physically and mentally exhausted I sat down to take off my make up and decided to check my phone. I had one text from Tommy saying ‘take care princess, I worry about you xxxx’ My heart jumped a little. He was really sweet and I was dying to see him, I decided to invite him out the next night, just the two of us, I looked at the time thinking it must be too late to call him when I noticed that it was only 8 o’clock, I was home from a band meeting at bloody eight o’clock and I couldn’t believe it, when did we become such losers!
I called Tommy to tell him I was home and that the band meeting was crap, he laughed at how disappointed I sounded. “What’s happened to you lot? I was expecting a phone call to say you guys had got on a private jet somewhere and I wouldn’t see you for a month” “I know honey, but Fran passed out drunk and Chris just wanted to show us baby photos” I said with a petted lip, “is it ok if I come over right now Princess? I can’t wait to see you” I could hear in his voice that he didn’t want to come over to watch TV “ok honey” “great see you soon princess” he ended the call without another word and I quickly jumped up and ran through to put on some sexy underwear, I knew he loved stockings so I put on a red pair with matching thong and bra and garter belt and put on my reading glasses. I decided I was going to pretend that’s what I wore for the band meetings. I then poured myself a large vodka to steady my nerves. About 25 minutes later I heard his voice coming from the front of the house. My stomach was in knots but I had to keep calm and power through. I knew the first couple of times we had s*x before had hurt because he is so big but after that it was fantastic and I had to remember that to get me through the pain. I could hear him shout “princess! where are you? Your security let me in I hope you don’t mind?” I took a deep breath “I’m in the kitchen” I drained the rest of my glass and put it in the sink I had my back to him as he came in “f*****g hell princess” was all he said. I turned to face him and he was looking me up and down with his mouth opened but to my surprise he had a huge black eye, it was like he had went 10 rounds with Mike Tyson. “Oh my god Tommy what happened to your eye?” I went over to him and stroked his face “nothing much just a stunt that went wrong when I was filming today” “you poor thing” “never mind that, look at you. You look stunning. What’s with the glasses, you look like a sexy secretary” he was rubbing his hands up and down my thighs as I was standing in front of him stroking his chest. “It was just a joke, I was going to pretend this is what I wear to the bands business meetings, are you sure your eyes is ok, it looks pretty bad” “yeah I’m fine, god you look sexy” “are you sure?” “Actually it kills you should try and make me feel better” “if I would have known that I would have bought a nurses uniform” “I would love to see you like that, but a sexy secretary is really doing it for me too” I went up onto my tiptoes and kissed him gently “my poor Tommy, I will need to cheer you up” he let out a grown of lust “and how are going to do that princess?” “Well I could think of a few things baby” he grabbed me close and started to kiss me furiously, and it felt amazing to feel so wanted by him. I undid his trousers as he stood kissing me back, I pulled his jeans down a little and his massive hard on sprung out from his tight boxers. I pulled away from our kissing and went down onto my knees in front of him, I gently licked the tip of his d**k and looked up at him and he was smiling down at me with his filthy smile “I nearly forgot how big you are Tommy, I don’t know if I can take all this” I licked him again “you can take it princess, don’t worry about that” I took the tip into my mouth and sucked on it and took it back out and swirled my tongue over the top again “your a little tease princess” he said. Then I opened my mouth wide and deep throated his whole c**k. I bobbed my head up and down increasing my pace and he grabbed onto the kitchen table with one hand to steady himself and he had the other hand in my hair. I could feel his huge d**k going down my throat over and over but I was scared he was going to come he looked close already. “Look at me” he demanded. when I looked up I was sure he was about to come but I wasn’t ready and I would have been totally disappointed. I slid his d**k out my mouth and looked up again then started to lick the tip “you taste so good baby” he let out a groan of pleasure and pulled me up onto my feet “that’s enough, I can’t take anymore” he lay me back on the kitchen table and when the cold marble touched my back I let out a giggle. He didn’t take any notice he just took off my thong with one movement and pulled my bra down at the front to expose my n*****s, then he pulled my knees up and started to lick my breasts one at a time. “I love your t**s” he put his hand down between my legs and gently touched my c**t. All my nerve ending were on fire and I wanted him there and then. “Your wet already princess” and I let out a yelp of lust. I could feel him pushing his massive c**k into me. I was scared, it was huge he was stretching me out and it felt amazing. “Are you alright I don’t want to hurt you” he whispered “no that feels good Tommy I want it deeper” “holy f**k princess” he said as I felt him burying himself into me and I let out a scream, “deeper Tommy deeper” your so f*****g tight, he said as he grinded in and out rapidly, his speed increased further and it was relentless and it was fanstsic he roughly grabbed my breast at the same time “I can tell you haven’t been touched, your so tight, your a good girl” and it sent me over the edge and I was screaming his name as I came twitching around his massive d**k. He continued at the same pace, “that’s my girl I love it when you come for me” “I want you to come baby I want you to fill me up” “oh god that’s it” he groaned, “tell me again” “I want it all, give me all of it Tommy I want you to come” and he came inside me. He kissed me deeply and pressed his forehand to mines. “Your amazing princess, that was worth waiting for and I don’t just mean these past few weeks” he kissed me again this time it was gentle “I love you princess” and I was on cloud nine.
