Girlfriend For Hire

Chapter 15: Together As One

I woke up the next morning to the gardeners at work and some birds calling, I groaned and looked down at Scarlett, who was peacefully asleep with her head on my chest and one of her arms resting across my stomach, it was nice to see that she had a better nights sleep than I did, I could feel it from my aching back. I also had the urge to pee, ugh is this the payback now for being an ass? Well it's certainly great timing.. I looked down at her once more, and I couldn't help but feel guilty, it was either wake Scarlett up and be safe, or to let sleep and pee everwhere, which there's no way I'm doing that.

I oustretched my arms and yawned, just as I predicted Scarlett did just the same as me, but in a more feminine way. She looked up at me her eyes wide from sleep. "Morning.." She smiled and hugged me tight. "Morning beautiful.." I smiled and kissed her on the top of her head. "You ok?" She asked. "Just need to go to the bathroom.." I got up and jogged to the bathroom downstairs. A while later I had made my way to the top of the stairs to find that Scarlett wasn't on the bed anymore, so hesitantly I pulled on my briefs again and called out for her. "Scar?" I stood frozen, just when I was about to turn around she jumped on me and we both tumbled onto the bed. "Argh, there you are.." I rolled over to her where she was already laughing. "Come here you.." I crawled until I was leaning over her. I looked down at Scarlett who just couldn't help but go into a giggling fit, and I couldn't help but deeply admire her sheer beauty.

I just kept smiling at her. "Hahahaaa... what?" She asked while her laughter died out. "Just you and your amazingness.." I nuzzled her neck with my nose. "Come on now, I'm no model.." She wriggled about, I gently rolled her over and made her look at me. "I don't want a model, I only want you.." I said then held her face and kissed her. "Come on, why don't you freshen yourself up with a nice, warm shower.." I suggested. "Hmm that does sound great.." She lingered on the thought. "See you in a bit then.." I was about to kiss her again, when she stood up and pulled my shirt from her shoulders and let it fall to the floor. "Ahh man.." I sighed while relishing at the sight of her. She took my hand and we had our first shower together, I thought it would be strange doing this, but it was really relaxing plus Scarlett had nowhere to run when I put soap on her nose. 

I gave Scarlett some spare clothes to wear from the closet, and also gave her a spare garnment bag for her dress. "Got everything?" I asked her. "Yes, now what's gotten into you?" She laughed. "Umm, I'm just making sure there's no camera's.." I looked out, but when I turned around I saw the look on Scarlett's face. "I know that your parent's got a paparazzi restriction on the house, so don't lie.." She smirked. "I, uhhh, um.." I scratched the back of neck (which I tend to do a lot when I'm nervous) "Oh my god, you're scared to be caught with me by your parents..." She crossed her arms. "No, well not necessarily, ugh look.. I just don't want to get interrogated by my parents, I think you know how embarrassing they can get.. especially matters like this.." I was getting short of breath. 

"Mmm true.." Her eyebrows furrowed and she was biting her lip, ugh damn why now? "Look, let's just try our luck and if we bump into them then.." She trailed off. "Then what?" I looked at her. "We'll improvise.." She opened the door and there was no turning back. "Scarlett.." I whispered. "C'mon Marshmellow, it's time to toughen up.." She laughed, she did not just go there. I didn't actually realise how big the family backyard was until now, when Scarlett opened the back door I actually flinched as I heard the door handle turn. Scarlett looked left and right, then she grabbed my hand and pulled me inside. "See, there's no-one here.." She put her hands up to prove her point. "Alright well let's not hang around for much longer, before-" But before I could finish, I heard my mother call out my name. "Marshall!? What are you still doing here?" She looked and sounded just as surprised as I did. 

"Heeyy mum, I had a bit too much to drink so I stayed in the pool house.." I started to scratch the back of my neck again. "I'm guessing Scarlett did too?" She grinned at me. "Morning Mrs Barclay, I hope that was ok?" Now Scarlett started to look nervous. "Please dear, call me Renee and only Renee.." She chuckled. But soon after my father came down the stairs and hugged my mum from behind. "Darius, Marshall's here.." She said awkwardly as he kissed her neck. "Oh hey Marshall, nice to see you too Scarlett." He kept holding my mum's waist. "Well uh, we're gonna hit the road now, I'll call you when I've made it home." I cleared my throat and guided Scarlett towards the front door. "Let's get the hell outta here.." I muttered in her ear.  

When we were on the jet I arranged back for home, Scarlett was snuggled under a blanket and lying under my arms. "So does this mean you quit?" I laughed. "Of course it does, now I've just gotta find a job where I want to work.." She sighed. "I can put in a good word for you, where-ever you want.." I kissed her on the cheek. "Noo, I won't have you jumping the queue for me.." She said firmly. "Alright, well in that case, just try and get some sleep in the meantime ok?" I pulled the blanket over her shoulders, then kissed the top of her head. 

When we got off the jet, I helped Scarlett down the steps, as she was dazed from sleep. "Watch your step.." I kept reminding her as I held her hand. I turned around to find that one family's security was waiting beside a car. I walked steadily towards him and within a couple of steps I instantly recognised that it was Frank. "My mother put you up to this didn't she?" I yelled above the whirring jet engines. "I was already in the area.." He winked at me and opened the door for me. "You unlucky bastard.." I laughed and patted him on the back. "Is she alright?" He helped me guide Scarlett into the car. "She's just had a long day.." I assured him. "Haha alright then, let's get the show on the road.." He jumped in started the engine and we were off. 

Once we had made it back to my condo building, and I tipped Frank extra for his troubles. "Thanks Frank, now get home to your family!" I ordered him. "Haha see ya buddy, take care alright?" He briefly shook my hand, and I carried Scarlett up. She occassionally stirred until she woke up smiling. "Mmm, someone's being working out.." She teased. "Do you want me to make you walk..?" I grinned back at her. "Well you have gone to all this trouble, so I guess I could just admire you work a sweat.." She winked at me. "Alright top floor, here we go.." I heaved and walked to the door, only problem now were the keys. "What?" Scarlett could see that I was trying to get something. "The keys.." I grimaced.  "Hold on, I'll get them for you, which pocket?" Too late she was already feeling for them. 

"Aahhh, back pocket.." I could feel her reach for the front. "Sorry my bad.." She grinned and slid her hand in the back pocket of my jeans. "Scar.." I knew what she was up to. "Don't worry, got em right here.." She waved them in front of my face. Scarlett had her arms around my neck, as I awkwardly unlocked the door and kicked it open with my foot, then closed it with my foot again. I was about to put her down when she whispered into my ear. "Feel like a round 2?" She giggled. "Aren't you tired?" I looked back at her. "It will help make me sleep, c'mon.." She kissed and held me tight. "Oh hell.." I gasped and carried her up to the bedroom. I layed her down, but this time there was no giggling. 

"So when did you want me to drop you off?" I said as I started to kiss her neck. "Umm about that... I was thinking of staying..." She got up and proped herself on her elbows. "Sure you can stay the night.." I pulled down the straps of her top. "Marshall that's not what I meant.." She said in a serious tone, I got up and looked at her. "Well what did you mean?" I held her hands. "I was planning on staying here for good.." She looked right at me, not blinking. "You want to-" I couldn't believe it. "Move in with you, yes.." She finished my sentence. "Really?" I gushed at her. "Yes!" She laughed. "Ahh I love you so much!!" I repeatedly kissed her until she grabbed a pillow and hit me with it. "Hahaha enough!! Jesus I take that as yes then?" She laughed. "Yes!! Yes!! Yes!!" I hugged her tight and kissed her on the forehead.
