Country Love Chapter Eight
Andy and Steve spent any free time they had preparing their new house, fitting curtains, decorating the odd room hanging pictures, erecting and arranging the flat pack furniture that they had brought from Ikea. By midweek the house was slowly turning into a home. By the Thursday everything was sorted, so Andy and Steve moved in two days early. Steve parked the car in their drive and decided to go to Andy's office to meet him. "Hey high" said Andy as Steve walked into the office. "Hi, I'm just about finished" said Andy a little puzzled as to why Steve had come to the office. "Cool I'll just sit here and wait for you then" replied Steve with some amusement from seeing the puzzled look on Andy's face and admiring Andy's bottom as he walked away with some files.
"Right I'm ready house mate" stated Andy as he picked up his case and walked towards the door.
"So why you come to the office to meet me" asked Andy.
"Because i wanted to carry you over the threshold" replied Steve with a evilly cheeky grin, as they walked up to their drive and Steve put the key into the lock and opened their front door.
"Well here we are entering our new home" said Steve.
"Yeah our own place" replied Andy giving Steve a long slow lingering kiss after they had shut the door.
After eating their first meal by candlelight they relaxed in the living room and watched a little tv, then listened to some background music and enjoyed relaxing in each others arms.
"So when should we hold our house warming parties" Asked Steve.
"Well I think we should have a get together this weekend for family, and then a week on Saturday we can invite Clair and her partner for a cosy meal, I think we are going to have a good friend in Clair" replied Andy.
Yeah so do I, and that sounds good to me" added Steve.
They continued relaxing for a little while longer, gently caressing and stroking each other, but neither of them tried to take things any further.
Steve was first to wake the next morning. He was awoken by the need to piss. He gently untangled himself from Andy, and headed to the toilet to relieve him self, then we went down stairs and prepared breakfast for two, and took the breakfasts upstairs on a tray. Andy was just wakening as Steve entered the bedroom.
"Morning sexy" Steve greeted the groggy lump that resembled his boyfriend, as Andy straightened himself out.
"Huh oh morning" replied Andy as he struggled to orientate and familiarise himself from a deep sleep that he had just awoken from.
"Hey what you laughing at me for" Andy said as he focused on Steve.
"Just the sorry state you look this morning, sexy" replied Steve with a cheeky grin and raised eyebrows.
"So I'm a sorry state am I" asked Andy trying to keep a straight face, but failing miserably, and they both ended up in hysterics unable to stop laughing, even though by the end of the long laughing session neither of them could remember why they were laughing in the first place.
"This is great, having our own home and not having to worry about what others might see or hear us do" commented Andy.
"Yeah on more awkward questions and having to sneak quick shag here and there" Added Steve.
Friday passed uneventful, and before the two men knew it they were preparing for Andy's parents and Steve's Aunty to visit their new home mid afternoon.
"Wow this is really nice guys said Andy's mum and dad almost together. "Who would have guessed our Andy being house trained" commented Andy's mom as she thought of every time she had to scream at Andy to keep his bedroom tidy.
"Mom, house trained? You make me sound like a pet dog" protested Andy as they all burst into fits of laughter.
"Well its better then being mummy's little boy" Steve chipped into the conversation, and once again they all started laughing.
They enjoyed a nice afternoon together and Steve's Aunty brought some home made pastries and cakes from her supplier for the shop which rounded the afternoon off nicely.
"Well babes I think that was a success" stated Andy.
"Yeah and your mom and dad have no idea that we are a couple" commented Steve.
"I know they are so naive?"
"Yeah they remind me of a country pumpkin i recently met" laughed Steve.
"You bitch, your going to regret saying that" Laughed Andy as he jumped on Steve knocking him flat on the sofa and tickling him.
After a few minutes Andy asked Steve if he took his comment back and Steve conceded to Andy's tickle torturer.
As Steve got up from under Andy's body he pushed Andy over and ran into the kitchen. Andy just laid on the sofa enjoying his success, when suddenly Andy felt water wash over his head. "Your dead meat Steve, you know what happened in our last water fight; you're so going to regret this" Laughed Andy as he stood up dripping of water. Luckily they had opted for a leather sofa which was just as well after Steve's water attack on Andy. Luckily for Steve, Andy never got his revenge that day, but they did enjoy a romantic night in front of the fire, listening to soft music an caressing each others body.
Their second house warming get together was soon upon them. Andy had invited Toby, Steve invited his friend from Manchester who owned the flat that they had used in Newcastle and of course there was Claire and her partner. Steve and Andy had opted for a small buffet rather than a more formal meal. Toby was the first to arrive.
"Hi Toby how are you doing?" asked Andy noticing an improvement since Steve and himself last saw Toby.
"I'm getting there mate" Toby replied with a friendly handshake and hug. Andy always admired the way Toby could be so affectionate with him, and came to the conclusion that Toby was so confident with himself that he could show true affection towards his good friend Andy.
Steve's mate Dave was the next to arrive. "Hey good to see you Dave" Steve greeted Dave as he showed him through to the lounge and introduced Dave to Andy and Toby.
"You might be seeing a lot more of me soon" commented Dave.
"How come?" asked Steve.
"The firm is opening new offices in Newcastle and I've applied for a manager's position. Replied Dave as the door bell rang once more and Andy opened the door to Claire and her partner Sharon, Steve showed them through to the lounge and made the introductions. It was at this point that Andy became aware that Toby was the only straight person at the party.
Andy noticed that even though Toby was the only straight member of their party, Toby was always involved in the conversation, and never shies away from any part of the conversation. Claire and Steve dominated the evening with their humour and banter, and had the others in stitches of laughter several times through the evening.
Steve and Andy declared the night a success and after tidying a plates and glasses away, they headed straight for bed, where they cuddled up and drifted off to sleep within minutes of their heads hitting their pillows.
Life continued with mundane schedule of work sleep etc. Andy and Steve settled into their new home and quickly adapted into life as a couple. Steve managed to charm their elderly neighbours on the left side of them, Eddy and Mavis sort of adopted Andy and Steve and called them their boys.
Soon it was November and the nights were getting dark by the time Andy left his office. On the first Friday Steve had suggested that they would go out for a romantic meal, as of late their work schedules clashed and Steve had decided it was time for them to gain some quality time together.
"Ok Italian it is" Andy agreed.
"I will order a taxi for 8pm then should I" Steve asked.
"yeah that sounds good to me babes
That evening they both managed to finish work early, so they had plenty of time to prepare for their evening out.
"Are you going to join me in the shower?" asked Steve with a cheesy grin and a wink.
"Is that a proposal?"
"do you want it to be?" asked Steve
"mmmm I will have to think about it long and hard while you wash my back for me" giggled Andy as he followed Steve into the bathroom. Of course the shower became erotic as they washed each other, though they agreed to forgo love making at least for the time being.
The taxi arrived on time and they arrived at the restaurant and were shown to a secluded table.
"Hey I think he is gay" Steve said as the waiter went away to bring them a menu.
"Me too, i noticed that knowing smile" said Andy triumphantly as he was finally picking up the ability to clock another gay man, his so called gaydar was in tune.
"Hey im impressed Andy" Joked Steve as the waiter returned and offered them a copy of the menu each. They ordered the house wine and prawn cocktail for their starters followed by lasagne and for sweet they both agreed on benoffee pie.
"We should do this more often" commented Andy as they finished off their meal with coffee.
"Yeah we have allowed our jobs to rule too much" added Steve
"We should also have another gathering at ours soon, I really enjoyed our house warming party" said Andy as they finished their coffees and stood up to leave after paying.
"Home sweet home" said Steve as they walked into their hallway.
"Yeah I love this place, funny but I don't think I could ever return to my parents to live" laughed Andy as he put on some soft music as Steve took his shoes off and settled down on the sofa. Andy walked across the room and cuddled up beside Steve who put his arm around Andy and gave him a long slow kiss.
"You know I can't imagine life without you, its just unimaginable" said Andy.
"Yeah me neither" replied Steve. As they continued to kiss and caress intimately until they both drifted off to sleep curled up on the sofa.
They were awoken suddenly by a loud knock on the door; Andy was first up and wondered who could be knocking at their door in the early hours of Saturday morning.
"Ok, Ok I'm coming" shouted Andy as he walked towards the door, as the person kept knocking on their door. He was surprised to find Claire in a hysterical state when he opened the door.
"Claire what's wrong" asked Andy
"It's Sharon, she hasn't returned home tonight and her mobile is switched off, oh what has happened to her Andy" asked Claire.
"Andy don't be rude at least let Claire in out of the rain and cold." Steve said as he made his way to the kitchen to make Sharon a sweet tea.
"I've phoned everyone i can think of and no one has seen or heard from her" Sharon told them as Steve handed her a cup of tea. Once Claire had calmed down they decided to go and wait at Claire's and Sharon's house in case Sharon arrived or tried to contact Claire. But the minutes turned into hours as time passed with no contact from Sharon. Steve and Andy were getting as concerned as Claire. It was at that moment that there was a knock on Claire's door, Andy went to answer the door and opened it to two police officers Is Claire Swede in asked the woman officer yes she is, you better come in" replied Andy and showed the officers through to the lounge.
"Claire, I'm afraid that Sharon...." started the woman officer,
"Oh no please nooooo" screamed Claire into Steve's shoulder.
"Claire Sharon was involved in a major road accident earlier this evening and received severe injuries, she was rushed to hospital but she died on arrival at the hospital." continued the woman officer through Claire's crying. The police officers gave Andy a few more details and left seeing that Andy and Steve were there to support Claire.
All three of them cried for several hours as the reality sank in. Steve managed to get Claire to drift off to sleep for a while.
"This is awful, I can't imagine how Claire must feel, I just couldn't go on with out you" said Andy.
"Yes you could, its human nature to survive and besides I'd be looking down on you to give you a guiding hand" Steve said holding back tears.
"Sharon, please don't leave me" screamed Claire as she sat upright.
"ssshhhh its ok Claire its ok" said Steve as he comforted Claire.
"Oh Steve what am I going to do without Sharon" asked Claire in floods of tears.
"What would Sharon want?" asked Andy
"I suppose for me to be happy, but how can I now she has gone for ever" sobbed Claire.
"In time and with lots of love and support from Andy and me, oh and Sharon will be looking down on you and protecting you" replied Steve.
"You guys are the greatest people vie ever known, well apart from my darling Sharon" commented Claire as she continued sobbing into Steve's shoulder.
The two guys arranged time off work so they could look after Claire and help her arrange Sharon's funeral. The funeral was of course sorrowful, but also comforting; Steve agreed to read out a reading that Claire had written. It was a brief history of their relationship, and it also described how warm and loving Sharon was as a person. Steve was surprised when he first read the reading to realise how much time Sharon and Claire devoted to charity.
After the funeral, things slowly got back into the routine as before Sharon's death, though Steve and Andy called in on Claire often and invited her over for dinner a fair few times.
"Guys you've been such strength of support over the last few weeks, I really don't think I would have coped without the two of you" said Claire after enjoying dinner with Steve and Andy.
"We have only done what good friends would do, Claire" said Steve.
"Well I don't think i could or will ever have friends better then you two" she added.
"We feel the same about you too Claire" Andy replied.
"Well guys I'm going to my brothers for Christmas, going to spend a few weeks there with his kids" she stated.
"Well we are only a phone call away if you need us" stated Steve.
"Yes I know thanks," she replied. Soon after Claire went home and the guys were alone.
"Come here sexy" Steve said with a wink and a cheesy grin as he patted the seat next to him on the sofa.
"You talking to me Mr" asked Andy jokingly.
"What if I am?" giggled Steve.
"Well3 I might get the wrong idea and take advantage of you" replied Andy as they were both laughing really hard,
"Then that would be the right idea, and not the wrong idea" said Steve.
"Your waffling again, i better shut you up" giggled Andy and landed his lips on Steve as they kissed real passionately, it was slow and tender at first, but became really physical as they rolled off the sofa and onto the floor without their lips parting.
Slowly they peeled each others clothes off and rolled in front of the fire naked, they continued carressing each others bodies exploring each other.
"Steve I really love you" said Andy in a slightly subdued voice.
"I love you too sexy" replied Steve,
"Hey are you ok babes" he added.
"I don't know, i guess Sharon's death has just caused me to reflect on how happy I am with you in my life" replied Andy.
"Yeah it's been a tough month, but you can't get rid of me that easy" Steve giggled as he started to tickle Andy's belly.
The guys decided that they would have their Christmas together on Boxing Day, and that Andy would spend Christmas day with his parents and Steve would go to his aunt's as his parents had decided to stay in the village for Christmas.
They also arranged an escape to the village pub after they had their Christmas dinners with their families. Then the New Year's Eve would be spent with Toby, Claire and David. And just to round off their seasonal festivities Eddy and Mavis invited them for drinks between Christmas and the New Year.
Apart from each others presents they left Christmas shopping to the weekend before Christmas and spent the best part of it deciding on a present then changing their minds only to return to their first decision, as we all do when buying presents.
Steve's workload was as busy as ever but Andy's web design firm were experiencing a quiet period, which allowed Andy to take up a new week long intensive advanced web design course.
