Chapter 22

Gary's POV

"Gaz?" The words buzz around my ears and are muted by my thoughts. What if Robbie was just using this surprise as a way to get rid of me? For all i know, he could be half way back to the UK by now. "Gary!" Suddenly i feel my body being shaken. Flinching slightly, i manage to catch my mobile before it crashes against the concrete slab.
"W...what?" My eyes widen at the three confused faces sat around the table, just staring at me.
"You've staring at the thing all night, are you ok?" Howard asks, placing his hands onto the table.
"Of course i am? Why wouldn't i be?" Ignoring their concern, my eyes fix back onto the screen as i continue refreshing my texts.

"Are you sure? You do look a bit peaky?" A hand is pressed against my forehead, catching me off guard. Jumping to my feet, my knee hits against the table knocking off a couple of the glasses. Loud smashes fill the half empty room, which is followed by a few gasps of the customers and a sharp yelp from Mark. Howard instantly jumps out of his seat to comfort me, as a hand is placed onto my shoulder bringing me back down to earth.
"What the fuck, Gary?" Jason mutters around the rim of his glass.
"S...S...sorry." Looking at the smashed glass around my feet, good thing i wore trainers tonight. "I...It...I...was just caught off guard...sorry lads..." Bowing my head shamefully, i notice the annoyed look Jason scolds me with.

"Does that mean you will put that damn thing down now? Seriously, we're suppose to have a nice relaxing drink together as a band, not be glued to that bloody thing." Downing the remaining bit of his drink, he wipes his mouth on a scrunched napkin.
Howard rubs my shoulder with the palm of his hand. "S'alright mate...he doesn't mean it, he's had a bit too much to drink...you know what he's like." Nudging me gently as he winks.
Taking the empty seat next to Mark and out the way of the glass, i rest my phone onto my lap. "Well it's not really a relaxing drink as a band seeing as Robbie isn't here, is it?"
"Probably on the run again."
"Jason." Howard rises his eyebrow at his band mate.
Furrowing my eyebrows at Jason, his words anger me slightly. "And what do you mean by that?"
"You know what i mean. Robbie and that sodding changeable mind of his. For all we know, it could just be one of his jokes." Jason smirks, it's almost like he's asking for an argument. "But then again he's probably taken your advice and indulged in the women company...anyway since when did you two get so close? One minute you were at one another's throats and we were the ones suffering!"
Frowning my face, i look confused  by Jason's words. "What? And we're so close because...well...b...because we've put our differences aside haven't we!?  "
"Don't pretend you don't know. That was the reason why you was late to meet us wasn't it? Picking up strange girls acting as if you're a teenager again, no offence Gaz, but you're not getting any younger and you'll just end up getting hurt in the end."
"H...who...told yo-" Out of the corner of my eye, Mark sinks back into his chair beside me. "You?!" I look at the smaller male, who's trying to act as if he isn't here. "Wow. I come on holiday and i can't have fun? Jesus, i wish i didn't bother coming with you lot if all you're going to do is judge me over every decision i make." Standing to my feet, i take hold of my phone.
"G...Gary... i'm sorry... i was only playing... i didn't mean to upset you... please don't go? We all need to have a good chat...Rob included." Surprisingly for the first time, Mark's pleading eyes don't work on me.

Shaking my head, i choose to ignore Mark's comments. "Forget it. I would much rather not be a laughing stock. I'm going back to my apartment alone, and i'd much prefer it if you don't come knocking me up tomorrow or tonight. I just want to enjoy this holiday, so i'll see you around...maybe." Suddenly the feel of my phone vibrating against my palm catches my attention. Glancing down at the darkened screen the words read (1) new message from : Rob - Hey Gaz, can you meet me at...
"Gary please..." A voice speaks behind me as i walk away.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a short walk i finally reach my destination. Robbie has asked me to meet him on the beach so i can have my surprise, but the way i'm feeling right now i would sooner go back to the apartment for a few quiet drinks. Undoing my laces, i remove my trainers whilst walking along the sand. I can't believe the things Jason was saying tonight, who does he think he is? Rob hasn't done anything to him and his changeable mind isn't something he does on purpose.  I thought we had all grown up this time around? I guess i was wrong once again. Searching around the abandoned beach, the sand seeps in between my toes as the sea crashes against the rocks in the background.

Breathing in a deep breath, it's almost impossible to see where i'm going, having only the moonlight to guide me. Suddenly i come to an abrupt stop, as i whack my foot against a stick with is standing upwards in the sand. "Ah fuck!" Hissing through my teeth, my hand wraps around my foot as i hop about a few steps. The moonlight shines down on a single white rectangular piece of paper, which is tied to the stick. Wiggling my toes to relive the pain, i bend down to retrieve the paper. Unfolding the paper, some writing is scribbled on it. Dear Mr Barlow... you're invited to a nice relaxing night with a certain Mr Williams. Follow the rose petals ahead until you reach the rocks... hope you have a great night... xxx. An uncontrollable grin forms on my face just by reading the message. Looking in front of me, i notice the scattered rose petals trailing in a line. Keeping hold of the note, i start to follow it along the beach. There's nothing more which will cheer me up other than having Robbie to hold me in his arms.

After a five minute walk, i begin to climb the rocks which sit in front of me. Good thing it isn't windy tonight, otherwise i wouldn't of been able to find where the rocks are without the rose petal's guidance."Rob..." Softly i whisper, it was probably a bad idea not wearing shoes whilst climbing up here. Once i reach the top of the rocks, a light shines around the side. "R...Rob?" My head glances around the corner, instantly noticing a blanket neatly placed in the middle of the rock. Taking a closer look, a cork flies into the distance, splashing into the sea.

"You made it..." Sweetly a voice speaks. Robbie sits with his back against a pillow from the apartment against the jagged rocks. He begins to pour some of the freshly opened champagne into a single wine glass. "Here, Mr Barlow." Shyly he smiles, whilst holding the glass out in front of me. Candles flicker, which are set around each of the corners of the blanket and in the middle rests a wooden hamper. My emotions take over, dropping to my knees i pull him closer, firmly pressing my lips against his. His lips taste sweeter than the last time we kissed, Robbie wraps his free arm around the back of my neck, returning the kiss almost immediately.
"S...Sorry..." I mutter once the kiss comes to a sudden stop. Placing the fizzing wine glass down in front of me, he tightly coils an arm around my waist.
"Now... why would you apologise for kissing me?" Gently he brushes his lips against my forehead whilst inhaling my scent. "...Has something happened?"
"N...N...Nothing? I...er...just missed you...that's all... i didn't hear anything from you all day...and the drinks with the lads weren't the same without you..." Nudging my chin against his bicep, for a brief moment i close my eyes, allowing my body to relax by Robbie's touch.
"Oh...i'm sorry Gaz...i was just busy sorting this out for you...i know it's not much but-"
"Hey!" Instantly my head lifts. "This is beautiful! The candles... the view... the food...and the make due...bed?"

"It's not a bed." Robbie sniggers moving a pillow behind my back, making me more comfortable. "It's just something so we don't have rocks sticking up our arses..."
"You're right...good thinking... i'd much prefer to stick something else up there." Trailing my finger against his plain white vest top, my hand paws against his chest, cat-like.
Moving our lips closer to one anothers, Robbie's warm breath hits against my moist lips. "Hmm... please explain to me, Gary..." Doing as he wishes, i connect our lips together as a way to start off my explanation. During the kiss, my hand claws at the hem of Robbie's shorts as my fingers entwine with the strings. Within a few seconds of fiddling around, his shorts sink to his ankles, which he decides to kick off.
"Hopefully...one of the lads don't come looking for either of us." Robbie mumbles, as my hand starts to stroke his semi-hard length through the thin material of his boxers.
"Don't care." Muting his words by another passionate kiss, using both of my hands i pull his boxers to his shins, leaving them there.
"What do you mean?" Pulling away slightly, Robbie studies my tensed face.
"Shush." Pushing him backwards against the pillows, i form a tight fist around his member, before pumping it against him, hardening him even more. Feeling his erection forcefully press against my stomach, i can't wait any longer. Reaching into my back pocket i pull out my wallet.
"Are you...are you sure?" Robbie wraps his hand around my wrist, stopping me from looking in my wallet.

"I've missed you, Rob. I just want to feel close to you again... enjoy being in an embrace with you...that is if you want that...too?" Saying nothing else, Robbie releases his grip from my skin, whilst finding a comfortable position on the 'bed'. Once i've brought myself up to the same level as Robbie, carefully i roll the condom onto myself, the coldness enough to make me groan. Snaking back up Robbie's half naked body, my palms rest either side of him. "I can't wait to spend this beautiful night with you..."
"Me either, Gaz...me either..." Gently he raises the back of his hand against my cheek.
"Ready?"
"More than ever..." Are the final words spoken. Robbie lifts his legs allowing them to rest on the tops of my shoulders, giving me better access. Without hesitation i slowly sink myself deep inside of him, the tightness of Robbie clenches around me. "Ooh...god..." Dropping his head backwards, he sinks into the pillows. After a couple of minutes of finding the right position, i'm now able to thrust into him with ease.
"A...Are you ok?" Quietly i whisper as the breeze brushes against our naked bodies.
"Mmmuh...don't...don't stop..." Tracing his fingers down my covered spine, they reach my backside where he gropes me, before sinking his fingernails into my skin. Pushing further inside, i smoother Robbie's gasps with little kisses. Bucking my hips into a rocking rhythm, my hands take grips to Robbie's waist, using it as a guide. Plunging deeply inside of him for a moment or two, abruptly i pull all the way out of him, repeating my actions several times.

"You...You feel...s..so good..." Moaning loudly, my voice begins to shake feeling the intense pleasure i'm receiving aswell as giving. Robbie's fingers continue to stroke the smoothness of my skin, until he pushes one of his fingers inside of me almost accidental. The shock causes me to twitch inside of Robbie, pushing him closer towards his orgasm. "Y...Yeah...that's it...right there..." Another finger is added to the mixture as he tightens his legs around the back of my neck.  It's impossible to keep my hands off Robbie's body at this moment, where ever my fingers touch or caress his skin, my tongue and lips soon follow.

"G...Gary...I..." Robbie warns me, giving me the widen eyed look of pure pleasure.
"Let go..." Heavily i pant, as his fingers continue finding the right position inside of me, stroking against my g spot. Skimming my fingers against the tip of Robbie's erection, the wetness makes contact with my skin. Within a few seconds it soon gets too much for him, as he's the first one to release.
"Fucking hell Gary!" He yells as he sprews his load against my vest top, feeling it soak through the material onto my bare skin, turning me on even more. Closing his eyes, as his chest continues to rise and fall, finally he inserts a final finger inside of me, stretching me even more. Thrusting myself in time with Robbie's work, my teeth tug on my bottom lip feeling the pleasure starting to send me over the edge.
"Go on Gaz...let me feel you...let me feel you release inside of me..." Robbie's voice almost begs me, pressing his fingers as deep as they can possibly go inside of me. Grunting and refusing to let go so soon, my knees begin to buckle.
"I...I...oh...god...i..." Shaking like a leaf from this pleasurable moment, i explode inside of Robbie. "Oh god, Rob!" Shouting at the top of my voice, he removes his legs from my shoulders allowing me to fall onto his chest. "F...f...fuck..." Speaking with only a trembling voice, i mutter against his stomach.

"Feeling...better?" A hand strokes against the back of my head, bringing me back down to reality.
"Oh god, yes. Much better. God i needed that." I pant for my breath back, whilst giving him a tired looking smile.
"Good...good to hear." For some reason his facial expression has changed, even his eyes have broken contact with mine.
"...I...Is everything...ok? I didn't hurt you...did i?" Worry instantly spreads across my face, whilst staring at Robbie's new emotion.
"Eh? Oh no, don't be daft! Of course you didn't...it was perfect...just perfect, Gaz." His thumb rubs against my bicep.
Pulling my briefs and boxers back up my body, i continue to sit in front of him, searching for answers. "I...I pushed you...didn't i? You should of told me you didn't want to have sex...i swear that wasn't all that i was after tonight... oh jeez... you should of said you didn't want to... i would of enjoyed cuddling and kissing whilst enjoying the snacks watching this beautiful view ahead. Gosh i'm such an idiot... i'm so sor-"
A hand is pushes against my lips, the palm preventing anymore words to leave my mouth. "Are you just going to shut up so i can tell you?"
Swallowing hard, i blink my eyes whilst watching the sweat droplets drip down Robbie's cheeks. "Y...Y...Yeah...sorry...please...go on..." Is all i'm able to mutter, as i feel the nervous immensely build in the pit of my stomach.
