Chapter 31
Dave lay on the edge of Callans bed watching the soft rise and fall of her chest as she slept with a small smile on her lips. Stroking her hair away from her face, he curled a few strands around his fingers and placed his lips against it the way he loved doing. Looking down at her he felt a pang of guilt over having used her to get at Nathan the way he had.
"Sorry sweetheart" he whispered against her hair.
Callan shifted slightly and Dave quickly let go of her hair before it pulled against his fingers and hurt her. Pressing his lips against her forehead he kissed her gently before sliding out of bed and heading for her shower. Five minutes later he was walking back into her room toweling his hair clad in just a white towel.
Checking she was still asleep he quickly slipped into the shirt and jeans he'd been wearing and pulled on his trainers. silently he opened her door and headed towards the kitchen on his way to his car. Grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge he opened it and took a long swallow before replacing the lid and placing it on the side. Pulling his car keys from his pocket he smiled trying to imagine her face when she saw what he'd bought for her that afternoon.
Picking up Callans keys from the hall table he made his way down to his car, opening the boot of the blue Aston Martin he retrieved the box which he'd placed in there earlier along with his suit bag and slammed the lid shut. Humming softly to himself he made his way back up the stairs, let himself back into the apartment and replaced her keys, smiling he wandered through to the lounge only to stop as he found Nathan standing in front of him.
"Well aren't you just one fucking bastard David"
"What?"
"You know exactly what"
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"You using Callan like that."
"Like what?"
"Fucking her like that, making sure I heard every second of it."
"I did nothing of the sort." he glared at Nathan
"Of course you did David, do you think I don't know how your mind works, do you? I saw the look you gave me as you went to her room, then I heard the way you had her "
"Look, what I do with her is my business and nothing to fucking do with you, so if I want to fuck her anywhere I can." He grinned evilly and looked at Nathan "Talk about weird, did you hang around outside her bedroom door or something, did you jerk yourself off as you listened to me making her scream?”
Nathan looked at him his eyes glaring "The whole apartment block heard the two of you at it. You really are sad aren't you? So what was it, some insecurity thing, have to mark your territory do you?"
“Like I said Nathan what I do with Callan is none of your business."
"It is if you hurt her, so are you just using her to prove to yourself that you can still pull young girls or something?"
"It's nothing to do with that, your trouble is you're jealous aren't you? You missed your chance with her and now I'm on the scene you want her.”
“Look” Nathan glared at Dave “I'm just looking out for her, she's doesn't know what guys like you are like, she doesn't know you're going to end up hurting her once she's served her purpose for you whatever that is. So why don't you just do us a favour and end it now?”
“Oh yeah right so you can just step in? Well I'm telling, no I'm warning you don't even think of trying to come between us.”
“I'm watching you Dave” Nathan advanced towards him “You do one little thing to hurt her and I'll be down on you so fast.”
“Whoa slow down little boy” Dave smirked “Don't take on more than you handle..”
Nathan looked at him and laughed “What you think I'm scared of you do you? Think just because you're some aging rock star I'm shaking? Well guess what at the end of the day you're the same as me Dave, you piss and shit just like everyone else in this world you know, you're no more special than anyone else, so you don't scare me at all I honestly don't give a fuck who you are.”
“Dave, Nathe?” Both of them looked up as Callan stood in the doorway a cream silk robe wrapped around her.
“Hi gorgeous” Dave shot a warning look at Nathan as he closed the gap between him and Callan.
“Is everything okay?” She looked between the both of them shifting nervously from one foot to the other.
“Yeah fine baby, we're just clearing a couple of things up aren't we mate?” Keeping his gaze locked on Nathan's face he slipped behind Callan, slid his arms around her waist and kissed the top of her head “Nothing for you to worry about Sweetheart, why don't you go and start getting ready, I'll be through in a minute.”
“Um okay” she looked warily between the two of them, “You're not fighting or anything are you?”
“Of course not baby we're just discussing some stuff that's all aren't we Nathan?”
“Yeah just talking about guy stuff Calsie” he gave a smile to reassure her. “You two going somewhere nice then?”
“We're meeting Dave's son Jack for dinner aren't we honey.”
“Indeed we are” Once again he kissed the top of the head whilst still watching Nathan “Babe you need to start getting ready.”
“Have a good time then, I'll see you tomorrow Geek.”
“Yeah night honey” she slipped out of Dave's arms and walked over to Nathan giving him a huge hug and kiss, “I'm so pleased to have you back again” she smiled “I've kind of missed you.”
“Me too” he smirked at Dave over her shoulder “I'll see you tomorrow and we can catch up then okay?”
“I'll look forward to that” Passing Dave on the way to her room she stopped to kiss him on the cheek, “Don't be long okay."
“I won't, you go jump in the shower and I'll be right there.”
"I thought I told you?" Dave hissed advancing towards Nathan
"What was I supposed to do? She hugged and kissed me."
"I'm warning you."
"Look Dave what do expect me to do? Push her away or something, listen she was my friend first and I don't care what you say I'm not losing that with her just to please you, so you're going to have to get used to it, besides.." he smirked at Dave "She wants the two of us to be friends."
"Yeah like that's going to happen"
"I'm not suggesting we do but when Callan's around we make an act of getting on okay, "
"I guess so" Dave conceded "Whatever makes Callan happy."
"Exactly we both want her to be happy, if I start acting differently around her she's going to know there is something up right, so you're going to have to get over it."
"Well you could try not to look as if you're enjoying it." Dave huffed. “I suppose if we stay out of each others way it should work."
"Oh no I'll be watching you Dave, I still don't trust your motives, I still can't see why someone like you wants to be in a relationship with a girl like Callan, so I'll be watching you closely David, very closely. Just remember that" he hissed as he turned and headed towards his own room "I'm on your case mate."
“Wanker” Dave muttered giving the finger to Nathan's retreating back before picking up his stuff.
"Everything okay baby?" Callan asked as Dave walked into her room.
"Absolutely fine sweetheart." he smiled "What are you up to?" he asked slipping his arms around her waist and kissing the back of her neck.
"Just trying to decide what to wear tonight" she sighed flicking through the rail of clothes in her wardrobe. "Everything is in the wash."
"What about your pink dress I like you in that one?"
"I always wear that one"
"You look cute in it" Dave chuckled
"But I wanted to look nice tonight."
"Baby it's not some fancy restaurant we're going to. Besides you always look nice"
"I know it's not that but I still wanted to look nice for you."
"You always do baby" he placed a kiss on the top of her had "Unless it's Jack you want to impress of course" he teased.
"Dave" She laughed turning her head to look up at him. "You know it's only his Dad I'm interested in talking of which.." Her hand started to creep down his body to his groin.
"Oh no you don't missy, you've still got to get ready."
"Spoilsport" she laughed before turning back to the clothes hanging in front of her. "I guess it'll have to be these" she grabbed a shirt and pair of trousers from the rail.
"No pink dress then?"
"That's in the wash too but at least I can wear the new...oh no"
"Whats the matter honey"
"I've left all the new underwear I bought today back in my locker."
"Mmm nice no underwear then? shame that you're wearing trousers though."
"I'm sure I can find something to wear underneath them."
"How about this dress?" Dave asked pulling out one that was hanging at the far end of the rail.
"I don't think so"
"Why it looks nice."
"Dave I look like a hooker in it" she shook her head pointing to the plunging neckline
"I bet you look great in it, try it on."
"Yeah and perhaps I should wear that underwear Justine bought me with it, you know the knickers with no crotch in them to go with it" She chuckled
"Now thats a very nice thought I'll look forward to seeing you in it." he grinned "So are you going to wear it then?" He asked raising an eyebrow.
"No, honestly I look awful in it, I'm not wearing that to meet Jack in, He'll wonder what type of friends his Dad has nowadays, no the trousers will be fine." She glanced at her watch "I'd better go and get that shower."
"Will you need some help there?" he asked pressing his hardness against her hip and letting her know what he had in mind.
"I don't think so else we'll never get to the restaurant, I won't be long."
"Ok baby" He kissed her before letting her go "Is it okay if I check my emails whilst I wait?"
"Yeah of course it is, just open up the laptop it should connect to the internet automatically."
As soon as he heard the shower start he pulled his suitbag and the box up onto her bed. Unzipping the bag he pulled out the suit and shirt he was wearing that night and hung it on her wardrobe door, going back to the bed he opened the box and carefully took out the dress he'd bought for her earlier that day smiling as he tried to imagine her face when she saw it. Pulling a hanger from the rail he slipped the dress onto it and hid it behind the outfit she'd hung up for herself.
Dave switched on the computer and flicked through the paper work on Callans desk as he waited for it to connect. Picking up a sketch pad he half heartedly leafed through the drawings glancing at the screen every few seconds. "What the Fuck" he muttered under his breath as his mind caught up with a drawing he'd seen. Quickly he flipped back a couple of pages there in front of him was a drawing of himself completely naked, his member erect.... He gazed at the drawing of himself as a small smile met his lips, "Callan Victoria Matthews" he grinned "You are one very bad bad girl" humming to himself he flipped through the next few pages pausing as he saw his name on the top of another sheet of paper.
"Dave's tattoo" was written across the top of the page in Calans flowing script. Dave looked at the drawing in front of him, at what was an almost perfect tattoo for him. He looked at the intricate design, wondering whereabouts on his body she had envisioned it placed.
Glancing across to the small printer scanner on the other side of the room, he flipped back to the drawing of him. He listened to make sure that the shower was still running then quickly crossed the room and fed both pieces of paper into it, he folded the copies before putting them into the pocket of his jeans. Pausing again to listen he went back to her desk. Just as he was replacing the drawing back in place the mobile on her desk went off, the screen flashing accusingly at him.
Dave jumped and looked at it wondering whether he should answer it or not. Jus's name flashed at him and he could hear Callan singing softly to herself in the shower, yeah he'd answer it he could always take a message, picking the phone up he hit answer.
"Hi gorgeous" came an English voice to his ears.
"Well thank you but I don't think I'm the the gorgeous you're thinking of." he chuckled
He smiled as he heard Justine laugh, "Well I know you're not Nathan, so I'm guessing you're Dave right?"
"Ten out of ten honey. I guess you want Calli"
"Yes is she there or did you shag her senseless again?"
Dave laughed out loud "No she's just in the shower."
"And you're not in there fucking her, shame on you Mr Gahan."
"If I'd had my way I'd be in there now, but don't worry I've fucked her a few times this afternoon so she's getting plenty." Dave shot back taking warming to her instantly, she sounded just as Callan had described her. "Do you want me to get her to ring you back?"
"No it's okay I have classes in a few minutes, I just wanted to check she was alright."
"Anything I should be worried out?" He asked thinking of that morning and the dream she had.
"No just checking on her thats all."
"Justine?" He asked instantly noticing the change in her voice "Is there something I should know?"
Justine hesitated for a few seconds "No I just needed to know she was okay."
"Justine I know you don't want to say anything, but Callan has told me everything you know."
"She's told you?" Justine answered surprised "But she never talks about..." Suddenly she stopped for a second "What has she told you Dave?"
"I know about the drinking and the drugs and...." His mind started working and suddenly clicked into place "And Jamie."
"You know about Jamie? She must really trust you Dave, she never talks about him to anyone, she won't even talk to me about it that much. "
"Well she didn't go into deep detail, but she'd had a nightmare this morning and it kind of came out. It really upset her."
"Okay David" Justine began "I'll have to be quick, it's coming up to the anniversary of his death and the accident...so she's going to be going through a rough three or four weeks, to be honest I was hoping that she would come home so we could keep an eye on her, but I guess she has you to watch out for her now."
"The accident, was at the same time, I thought that was something separate?"
"It was it's just that they happened about the same time of year, she blames herself for both of course."
"But but she wasn't responsible for Jamie."
"We know that, David, but she blames herself the same way she blames herself for the accident," she sighed "I've tried to convince her time and time again about Jamie, but she still says it's her fault, that she should have tried harder to get him to stop...But....I guess you know."
"But that was never going to happen he'd have to decide that."
"I know, well anyway with everything that's happened to her she falls apart this time of year. Her and Jamie were always close, we all thought it was only a matter of time until something happened between them but once she realised how much she actually loved him, well she'll have told you that, then after he died, well she stopped functioning for a while, she'd sit for days in complete silence, not moving or eating. I was going to try and come over to spend a few days with her if she wasn't coming home, but I can't get away, I have a couple of exams then, I'm just so worried about her."
"Justine she'll have me, I'll watch out for her." he soothed hearing the tears in her voice
"You'd better, else you'll have me to deal with" Justine sniffed.
"I'll keep an eye out for her, she's lucky to have a friend like you," He picked up the photo of Callan and Justine from the desk and looked at it closely "You two seem to care a lot for each other, you're really close aren't you?"
"Yes we are."
"Don't worry listen I'll ring you if she seems to be not coping, but I'll make sure she's okay."
"Okay thanks" Once again David heard her sniff "Look after her Dave and tell her I'll speak to her tomorrow."
"I will, thanks Justine, I'll speak to you soon."
"Yes nice to speak to you finally, oh there's one more thing you can do for me David, make sure she's not drinking again."
"Justine she isn't, she's fine."
"Just watch her closely this is the one time of year more than any other that she will and she's good at hiding it."
"Don't worry she isn't, I can guarantee that."
"Okay but just watch her closely for me yes?"
"I will" he listened as the sound of running water stopped "Justine she's just getting out of the shower, so I'll have to go."
"Me too bye David"
"Yes bye Justine" Quickly he pressed and and replaced the phone back on her desk. Ten seconds later he heard the bathroom door open and looked up at her with an innocent look on his face “Okay baby?” he smiled.
“Yes” she smiled as she walked in to the room with a fluffy white towel wrapped around her giving Dave a glimpse of thigh each time she took a step across the room, “Did you manage to log in?”
“Oh yes” he answered in “By the way Justine phoned, she said she has classes this afternoon but she'll speak to you tomorrow. She seems really nice.”
“I hope she behaved herself with you” she chuckled
“Well there were a few references to me fucking you hard made.” he grinned and got up from the seat as Callan blushed.
“Oh god no she didn't did she?” she cringed
“Yes, but don't worry I've told her you're getting plenty.” he slapped her on the backside as he passed her on his way to the bathroom, “So she knows I'm keeping you topped up.”
“You two are as bad as each other” She murmured shaking her head and reaching for her clothes as he shut the door behind him.
Silently he stood and waited for her reaction when she saw the dress he'd placed behind her outfit, he heard a little “Oh" and her footsteps padding across the room, “David” she tapped on the door, “Is this anything to do with you?”
“What honey” he asked feigning surprise as he opened the door a fraction.
“This” she dangled the hanger in front of him.
“Maybe” he grinned opening the door wider
“David I thought we had an agreement about you not buying me things.”
“That was before you became my girlfriend, besides if you're not going to do your laundry it's a good job I did.” he chuckled
“David the reason I don't get any chores done is you as you full well know,” she giggled smacking his arm “But the agreement still stands, I don't need you buying me things.”
“Oh Callan don't be so silly if I want to buy you things I will, I don't see the big deal about it especially now we're an item.”
“David I just don't feel comfortable about you doing it, I don't want people thinking I'm a golddigger.”
“Baby nobody thinks that.”
“People do though Dave”
“Who for instance?”
“Some of the Mom's at Stellas ballet class do.”
“Honey I'm sure you're wrong”
“David I heard them and if they think that then everyone else will too.”
“Calli they won't.”
“Dave of course they will, they'll see me with you..” she looked down at the floor “And they'll think that.”
“Callan look at me.” he placed a hand under her chin and lifted her face to meet his gaze, “The most important thing is that I know you're not and that's all that matters.”
“I know but....”
He placed a kiss on her lips “It really does bother you that much doesn't it?”
She nodded looking up at him “Yes I hate the fact that people think I'm with you for what you can buy me, that's why I don't want you buying me things.”
"Okay, how about if I call it a late birthday gift or very early christmas present huh?"
Callan looked up at him "Nothing more after this okay?"
"Callan."
"No David please, I feel so awkward when you buy me stuff."
He leant down and kissed her crossing his fingers behind his back "Okay nothing else, but you'll wear it tonight for me yes?"
She gave a small smile "Okay, but this is the last thing you buy me."
"Okay"
Callan opened her top drawer and began to look for underwear that would go with the dress that Dave had bought her when her hands came across the package from Justine, on impulse she picked it up and opened and pulled it from it's packaging. Quickly she slipped on the red bra with it's slits cut into it's cups and the little crotchless knicker skirt combi. As she caught sight of herself in the mirror a shiver of naughtiness ran through her, if Dave realised she was wearing it and he wasn't able to touch her it would drive him mad. Smiling slyly to herself she stepped into the dress and quickly zipped it up. She was just smoothing the soft pink material over her stomach when Dave appeared behind her.
"Mmmm you look good in that" he smiled slipping his arms around her "I knew you would as soon as I saw it in the store."
"But you still shouldn't have bought it for me, I meant what I said David, I don't want you buying me things I don't want people thinking I'm taking you for a ride."
"A ride huh" Dave raised an eyebrow.
"No that kind of ride. You know what I mean."
"Okay I'm still glad I bought it for you though"
"Okay but this is the last thing sweetheart." she looked at him and chuckled "And No, no Destiny's Child songs at me please"
"How on earth did you know I was going to do that Miss Independent Woman?"
"I know you too well Mr Gahan" she smiled "So are you going to get changed then?" Her gaze flicked to her wardrobe "I guess that's what you're wearing tonight"
“Yes I'd better get changed are you nearly ready?”
“Just make up and shoes” she answered as she pulled her hair into a ponytail and secured it with a pink stoned clip.
Dave watched her applying her make up as he buttoned up the dark shirt shirt he was wearing, smiling at the way she used just enough make up to enhance her features. Once again he was struck by how beautiful she really was, that mass of curls and her green eyes which both made him want to take her and protect her but at the same time want to just throw her down on the bed and fuck her hard. He couldn't remember if he'd ever felt like that about a woman, wanting to fuck yes, he'd done that enough times in his past but to protect too, he guessed that he must have had of at some point after all he reasoned he'd had three wives but he couldn't remember feeling like this with any of them.
He watched her eyes light up as she put down her mascara and turned and smiled up at him just as he finished zipping up the trousers of the dark suit he'd chosen for that evening.
“Mmm out to impress someone are we Mr Gahan?” She chuckled getting up and walking over to him.
“Maybe a certain woman” he grinned wrapping his arms around her “I hope she'll appreciate it”
“Oh I'm sure she will.” Callan smiled “You look very very....” Suddenly she stopped and clasped her hand to her mouth “David I..I..”
He sensed immediately what was wrong and let go of her as she shot into her bathroom and vomited into the bowl of the toilet.
“Sweetheart?” he asked following her in, “Hey hey” he knelt down on the floor beside her and put his hand on her shoulders as she vomited again and again, eventually she stopped flushed the contents away and reached for a wad of tissues.
“Are you okay baby?” he soothed as she wiped her mouth.”Shall I call Jack and cancel dinner?”
“No don't do that, I'm fine now David” She managed to smile before grimacing at the taste now in her mouth “I guess I'm more nervous about tonight than I thought.”
“All that was over meeting Jack?”
Callan nodded shakily getting up from the floor and leaning against the sink as she reached for her toothbrush.
“Oh sweetheart why?”
“I'm just really scared about meeting him and what'll he think of me, thats all.” She squeezed some toothpaste onto her brush and started cleaning her teeth.
“Listen” he stood up and placed a kiss on the back of her neck “Jacks going to love you, there's nothing to be scared of.”
“I know I'm just being silly” she mumbled from around her toothbrush “But it's just the way I feel, I'll be fine when I actually meet him.” She spat the paste out into the sink and quickly rinsed her mouth with water. I'll just get my shoes and bag and I'm ready to go.”
“Sure you're up to it?”
“Yes I'm perfectly okay now let's go shall we?”
“Okay sweetheart?” he asked as he pulled into a parking space in restaurant car park.
“Yes.. no... yes..oh I don't know..”
“You'll be fine” he chuckled glancing at his watch “Babe we're 15 minutes early “Do you want to go in now and get a drink?”
“No” She shook her head “I'm too nervous.”
“Okay” He leant over and slipped an arm around her “How about if I kiss you then, would that be enough of a distraction?”
“We could try I guess.” she smiled as his lips found hers.
“Better?”
“A little” She snaked her hand down his chest until it came to his crotch her fingers finding his zipper she inched it down slowly and slid her hand inside.
“God Callan” he moaned as her hand found him.
“Commando tonight are we?” She chuckled raising an eyebrow.
“Especially for you yes.” His mouth searched for hers again as he slid a hand along her thigh.
“Huh huh” She giggled shaking her head “This is my distraction, you just enjoy.”
Dave moaned out loud as Callan's mouth took over from her hand and she ran her tongue over his sensitive tip before taking him into her mouth.
“Oh God Callan” he groaned as he slid himself into the hot wetness. “You're fucking amazing when you do this.”
Callan closed her eyes and concentrated on the sensations of feeling him inside her mouth, loving the way that she was able to give him so much pleasure. She slid her tongue delicately around his head again again, before taking the whole of him into her mouth once more. Sensing Dave was getting near she slid her hands under him, encouraging him to thrust deep into her mouth, now desperate to taste him, for him to flood himself into her mouth.
“I'm there Callan I'm there” he moaned loudly thrusting upwards again and again as hard as he could “I'm there I'm...".” Callan felt her mouth fill with his hot fluids as he pulsated inside her. Eagerly she swallowed enjoying the feel as the warmth of him coated her throat, her tongue still working him cleaning him, wanting and needing to taste every part of him. Carefully she slid her mouth off him taking care not to hurt his still throbbing member and her mouth found his, her tongue probing between his lips as he zippered himself up again.
“You have no idea how amazing this is with you” he groaned as she broke the kiss and turned to take a bottle of water from the glove compartment of the car. “No fucking idea at all sweetheart”
She looked at him and blushed as she took a sip of water before handing him the bottle and looking at her watch, “We should go in it's five to now.”
“So I take it the distraction worked" he chuckled as she picked up her bag and started fishing around in it looking for her lipstick.
“I think you can say that” she pulled the sun visor down and used the small mirror to apply her lipstick as she shot a smile at him.
“Well anytime you need another distraction don't hesitate to go for it will you.” He leaned over and turned her to face him “One last kiss until later.” he grinned finding her lips with his.....
