Chapter 18 - Gary and Libby


Shaking my head slowly, i stare transparently down into the glass of golden whiskey. Im drunk. I know im drunk. I havent been this drunk for a long time. But the prescription for my pain killers doesnt start until tomorrow and everything hurts, my stomach, my ribs, my heart. My heart. 
God. What am i doing?
In my drunken state, i fumble in my pocket and retrieve my mobile.
2:56am
Great, just great! Vaguely, i remember Marjorie coming in after Gary ha gone upstairs and trying to get me to sleep...

"Libby?.. Darling please get some rest, for your own sake."
"But Garys in the bedroom Marjorie!" I sob over a glass of crisp white wine. "And he doesnt want to see me! He doesnt want to see me ever again!"
"Libby, sweetheart, Gary is in the kitchen with Ethan.  Hes just upset, hell get over it in no time, but you need your rest."
"Just leave me Marjorie." I snap suddenly, taking myself by surprise. "Go back to your son."
"Fuck.." I hiss slowly, planting the lass of whiskey, shakily down onto the coffee table. I need to apologise. I was so rude, to everyone. Okay. Wheres Ethan? I need to find my baby.

Loosing my balance almost three times, i stagger up to my feet and head for the stairs. Woah, theres so many of them....like hundreds. I giggle slightly. This is funny. No. No it isnt. I need to get to Ethan. Standing as straight as i can and gripping hold of the banister, i attempt the first step, and then the second, ok this is good, this is easy. Im fine, look Lib, youre fine.
In under minutes, im on the landing, and stumbling unsteadily into the room Ethan stays in. There he is.
Slowly i approach the cot, look at him, sleeping soundly, gosh hes so beautiful.
"Hey Baby..." I lean heavily over the cot to stroke the blonde hair off his forhead. "Im so sorry.." I whisper. "For everything, baby im sorry... Can you forgive me? Can you forgive Mummy?"
"Libby?"
I spin round when i hear a friendly face in the doorway. "Marjorie!" I gasp, kissing Ethan quickly on the head and staggering towards Garys mother. "Marjorie im so sorry!" I wrap an arm around her shoulder. "I was so rude to you!"
"Its fine." She smiles kindly, "I think you need to go to bed though sweetheart, ill see to Ethan."
"Hes fine. I just checked." I giggle as i pull away and stumble backwards into the bedroom Gary and i share.

Oh hes asleep, my beautiful, pissed off husband is asleep under the duvet, snoring softly as his body rises and falls.
"Cutie." I giggle again, dropping down heavily onto the bed, my head knocking Garys back.
"Lib?" Theres a mumble from the duvet, but i press my finger to my lips, trying to keep quiet. I think all the alcohol has numbed the pain from my abdomen, because i dont feel anything as i clamber to my knees and lean over Garys body.
"Lib?" He mutters again, rolling suddenly onto his back and nearly knocking me flying. "Lib is that you?"
"Hey Captain!" I giggle louder than i was meant to.
"Lib are you drunk?" Gary rubs his eyes slightly as he props himself up on his elbows.
"No!" I shake my head quickly. "I just came to say sorry."
"Sorry? What? Its three in the morning- Libby, wait- what are you doing?" He stops mid sentence as i disappear under the duvet. "Libby what are you doing?!"
"Apologising..." I giggle once more as i rub my thumb over his crotch.
"Oh god, Libby no." Gary reaches for my arms to pull me up, but  wriggle free, making sure to press my chest against his growing erection as i do so. "Stop!" He hisses again as i tug down his boxers, his length springing free.
"No!" I snigger back. "I dont like it when youre mad at me Captain...so im apologizing!"
"For fucks sake Libby dont be a twa-" Garys sentence is silenced by a low, animalistic moan as i run my tongue along the underside of his shaft, grinning slowly to myself as i do.
"Do you forgive me yet?" I breathe against Garys tip, before slowly closing my mouth around his erection, sucking gently.
"Elizebeth!" Gary growls, but his voice is thick with sleep and lust.

I dont answer, instead, i continue to move my mouth along Garys shaft, occasionally flicking my tongue around his tip.
"Youre so drunk." Gary breathes slowly, and i know he has hes eyes shut.
"Mm-h." I murmur, my lips vibrating around Gary, making him moan again as i begin to move faster, bringing my hand to the part of him my mouth cant reach and moving it in time
"Libby..." Gary warns and i know hes close, his fingers flex against my arms as he pushes his back further into the mattress, his legs stiffening beneath me. "Libby..shit!"
I swallow obediently as Gary finds his release, emptying himself into my mouth over and over.
"Jesus..." He grunts slowly as i swallow his load before licking my lips slowly and resting my head against his firm thigh. Jesus im tired.

"Eh...Eh.." Gary hisses, clutching my arms and puling me up the bed until my head is resting on the pillow next to him. "How much have you had?"
"Enough." I murmur. Just leave me to sleep for fucks sake....
"Your twat Libby." Gary grumbles as he rolls onto his side, looping an arm around my stomach and kissing my shoulder. "Sleep baby."
"So youre not mad at me?.." I whisper, fighting to keep myself awake.
"Libby i thought...i thought id lost you...If you could garuentee that ill never have to relive that moment, then ill never be mad at you again, ok?.." Gary kisses my shoulder again, before buiring his head in the crook of my neck. "I love you."
"Mh-h." I mumble. "Love you too."

Chapter 65 -Gary and Libby ~ The End.

I shower lazily, stretching muscles i didnt even know i had under the wide head of the chrome rainfall faucet. I lather the peach and mango shower gel into my skin, the aroma making both myself, and our bathroom for the week, smell like the rest of the island. -Luscious and summery. When i turn, allowing the water to splatter against my shoulders and ease the stiffness of the muscles there, a familiar silhouette is shadowing the frosted glass to the shower door. I smile; "Youre not a big fan of privacy, are you?" "With you? Naked? Never." The sleazy reply comes over the sound of the cascade of water and my smile slips into grin. I turn, only to cease the flow of water and the silence that descends is the same quietly charged silence that has become so common between us. "Throw me a towel." "Not a chance," I watch as Gary moves out of sight, away towards the mirrors above the sinks."Come out and get it." "Gary dont be an arse...

Chapter 43 -Gary and Libby

I sit with Luke, and a strong mug of black coffee, around my dining room table, sifting through an uncountable amount of papers. Its getting on for ten and we chat as we work, the reassuring gurgle from Ethans baby monitor lessening the potentially harsh silence each time we fall quiet. "This is obscene." Luke lets out a disgruntled sigh, throwing his Biro down and watching it drown in the sea of documentation. Nodding in agreement, my eyes slipping in and out of focus, my exhaustion gripping me, as i glance up at the clock. 10.07pm  Gary should be back any minute. From whatever gig hes doing tonight. Hes been out so much lately and im sick of being on my own, and so now im sat here, half asleep and working with Luke at ten past ten on a Tuesday. "Maybe we should call it a night?" I offer, quietly eager to get Luke gone so i can go to bed, but right on cue, the baby monitor broadcasts a shrill scream from my sleeping son, preventing me from hearing my desired a...

Chapter 37- Gary and Libby

"Lib.. Libby?.." Im lulled gently from my cocoon of comforting sleep. "Libby.." Reluctantly, my lids draw back to the unwelcome blade of sun slicing through the car window. I squint, confused. Oh. Yeah. "Lib.." Gary carries on, and im half aware hes helping me out of my seat belt. "Come on baby, we're here." I nod in answer, but dont move. I dont want to move. I dont want to ever have to move, because if i do, i know that i have to face up to the darkening reality which lies behind the cold, harsh and unwelcoming doors of Manchester Royal Infirmary. "Im scared." "I know baby, come on." Gary brings the back of my hand to his lips briefly in a comforting gesture before slipping out of the car. I watch in the rear-view mirror as he makes his way hurriedly round to my door and swings it open. I dont move. "Libby." Lowering my gaze, i begin to chip off flakes of the newly applied red nail varnish, flicking it d...
