“Hello my fur babies!” I sang as I stepped through my townhouse door, shutting the door behind me and trying my best to barricade myself against a hyper excited Kal and Kyah, “How has your day been?”. I grinned when Kal let out a “woo” sound and bowed down in front of me, his bum wiggling in the air as his tail wagged at a million miles a minute. Kyah barked happily and leaned up against my legs, all of a sudden launching at Kal and tackling him down playfully. “God you two, settle down” I exclaimed with a laugh as I walked down the hallway, shuffling my bags of grocery shopping and dropping them on the kitchen bench. The bears followed like shadows, bringing their wrestling match into the kitchen and quickly crashing into my legs. I frowned and shook my head, looking down at them disapprovingly. “Out of the kitchen” I commanded pointing to the lounge, Kyah and Kal pausing momentarily to look up at me expectantly, “Go on”. I rolled my eyes when they ignored me completely and continued with their play fight, shaking my head and turning back to put away the groceries.
I started on dinner when I was done with the groceries, pulling a bag of fettuccine from the pantry and laughing when both dogs immediately stopped moving to look up at me. Typical. As soon as they heard the crinkle of the plastic packaging they were all ears for me, sitting down at attention with their eyes focused on the bag in my hand. Of course. “No you silly boofs, this isn’t for you” I exclaimed as I shooed them away with my free hand, Kal letting out another ‘woo’ sound and making me laugh. Initial meeting aside, Kal was one of the most well behaved Akita’s I’d ever met, completely different to the wary, defensive Akita’s that I’d seen and treated through work. Traditionally, Akita’s were very wary with strangers, especially vets, and often aggressive with other dogs. Kal on the other hand listened to commands (mostly) and was nothing but a giant, playful teddy bear when he was around Kyah - clearly a testament to the incredible training he’d gotten from his owner.
“Your dad’s coming home tonight Mr” I said as I bent down in front of Kal and ruffled his thick, furry chest, “Are you excited to see him? I am!”. I laughed when Kal pushed his head into me and tried to lick my face, Kyah quickly coming over and pushing her way in for attention. Since our video chat on Monday night, Henry had called every night since to check in and see how Kal was going, despite the pictures and videos I’d been sending him throughout the day. After I’d assure him that Kal had been perfect, he’d tell me all about his days filming and I in return would tell him all about work and what I’d done for that day. Every call we’d had had lasted for at least an hour, the two of us quickly losing track of time whenever we’d spoken. The more I spoke to Henry the more I found myself becoming completely enamored with him. He was incredible - polite and intelligent, and so perfectly charming, his sense of humour not at all what I expected. It didn’t help that he looked like a chiseled Greek God either, his blue eyes beautiful and intense and his smile effortlessly handsome. Not even two weeks I’d known him and already I was smiling ridiculously at the thought of him, my stomach flip flopping at the mention of his name. Even though the rational, logical part of me told me I was being absolutely ridiculous - he was a celebrity and I was just, me, the hopeless romantic part of me was more than willing to go along with whatever this was between Henry and I.
I smiled and shook my head, patting both Kyah and Kal before standing up and making my way back into the kitchen. Henry had told me during our Wednesday night video chat that he’d be coming home on Friday night - filming would be wrapped by the afternoon and he’d be catching the next flight back to London. He’d planned to come by on his way home to pick up Kal, telling me that he’d be over some time in the early evening depending on his flight. The rest of the week seemed to fly by after that, the thought of being able to see Henry again filling my stomach with butterflies and making my heart race in my chest. I hadn’t heard from him at all today - assuming he was busy with last minute filming and such, and had found myself thinking about him much more than I should have throughout my day at work. I smiled to myself and set about preparing dinner, my mind once again wandering to Henry and what he was doing and what he was thinking about, and more importantly, if he was thinking about me.
An hour later I flopped down on the couch having finished the washing up from dinner, glancing down at my watch as I took a sip of tea. 7pm. I frowned and reached for my phone, unlocking the screen and checking my messages for what felt like the tenth time in an hour. Still nothing. I let out a frustrated sigh. Apparently mine and Henry’s definitions of early evening were very different. I looked up when I heard Kal let out a heavy sigh, my face softening at the sight of the big furry bear as he lay curled by my side on the couch. “You miss him don’t you, big guy?” I whispered gently, reaching out to stroke his soft black face and smiling when he opened his liquid brown eyes to look up at me lovingly, “I do too”. Kyah shifted beside me and bumped her head against my arm, letting out a jealous whine as she gingerly licked my hand. “I haven’t forgotten about you miss” I reassured, smiling down at her and bending to drop a kiss to the top of her head.
I glanced back at the TV where an episode of Suits was currently playing, absentmindedly patting the bears on either side of me as my mind once again went to Henry. Was he still filming? Was he still in Hungary? Was everything okay? The logical part of me reasoned that yes, of course everything was okay - and if it wasn’t he would have called. He was a famous celebrity with a ridiculously busy schedule. Responding to messages was probably very low on his priority list. Still, the other part of me though, the irrational, dramatic part, couldn’t help but think otherwise. Henry had messaged me every day since he’d left London - why would today have been any different? I’d still sent him photos of Kal like I had every other day, for him to reply at all was strange to say the least. Surely that meant something was wrong? I let out a heavy breath and shook my head to clear my thoughts, reaching for my tea and taking a long, noisy sip. I’d known Henry barely two weeks and was already thinking about him like he was my boyfriend, sending myself into a spin because he hadn’t replied to my text. We weren’t dating, not even close - why was I even thinking like this?
I reached up and ran my fingers through my hair, deciding to at least message Henry to check in and see that every thing was alright. I knew he’d respond when he got the chance, he was clearly just busy and had a million other things to attend to. I let out a soft sigh and reached for my phone, clicking on his name and typing a quick text.
Hey Henry, hoping you’re well and everything is okay! Kal is ready to go whenever you’re ready. Let me know when you’re nearby x
I tapped send and tossed my phone aside, stretching out my legs on the coffee table and reaching for my mug of tea. I knew I’d hear from him soon, I didn’t have to worry. He’d contact me as soon as he could. I took a sip of tea and looked back at the TV, ignoring my thoughts of Henry and trying to instead concentrate on Suits. I chuckled to myself - if there was ever someone that was going to distract me from Henry Cavill, it would be the man himself, Harvey Spectre. I reached out to stroke Kyah’s silky fur and dropped my head back against the pillows, letting out a soft breath and relaxing into the plush sofa.
I awoke with a start as Kal & Kyah suddenly started barking, jolting upright as the dogs jumped off the couch and bolted off towards the front door. What the hell? My eyes widened in alarm and my heart raced in my chest, it taking me a moment to orientate myself as I looked around the living room. What was going on? Suits was no longer playing and Netflix was instead asking if I was still there, my almost empty cup of tea sitting on the edge of the coffee table now stone cold. I’d clearly fallen asleep on the couch while watching Suits, dozing off on the couch with the bears on either side of me. I jumped for the second time in less than a minute when I heard a knock at the front door, Kal and Kyah once again going crazy and barking loudly in the hallway. Henry?
I stood up from the couch and made my way towards the door, glancing down at my watch and frowning when I realised how late it was. 1am. So much for early evening. I rubbed my eyes and paused in the hallway mirror, stopping briefly to fix my hair in an attempt to look like I hadn’t just been sleeping for four hours. I felt the butterflies in my stomach as it suddenly occurred to me that I was only moments away from seeing Henry again, my heart racing in my chest at the thought of talking to him without a thousand miles and a screen separating us. I took a deep breath as I reached the front door, shushing Kal and Kyah as they barked and jumped in front of me. “Relax you two!” I whisper-yelled, afraid that I’d wake my neighbours - if the dog’s barking hadn’t already. I groaned, that’s just what I needed, my neighbours complaining to me about noise. I inhaled deeply and reached for the door handle, unhooking the lock latch and pulling open the front door. Henry.
I barely had time to look at Belle before Kal let out a happy bark and jumped through the doorway, his big, furry body crashing into my legs and making me step back to catch my balance. “Hey bear” I said as I bent to ruffle his huge bear head, chuckling when he tried desperately to lick my face, “I missed you too”. I heard Belle laugh adorably in the hallway, glancing up at her and feeling my insides melt at the sight. Belle. “I’d say good evening though I think good morning might be more appropriate. Hello Henry”. I grinned and brushed the fur from my clothes, standing up and regarding her properly for the first time since I’d arrived. She was just as gorgeous as I remembered, if not more so, her lips parted in a soft smile as she leaned against the door and looked back at me with her wide, beautiful eyes.
The apologies that had been piling up on my tongue all day suddenly slipped from my mouth like a broken dam, endless words falling from my lips until Belle put up her hand to silence me. “Henry, Henry” Belle interrupted, shaking her head and smiling at me, “Come in first. It’s freezing out here and I don’t know about you but I’d much rather sit inside and talk about this than out here on the street”. She stepped back and gestured for me to come in, my shoulders deflating with relief as I looked back at her gratefully. I stepped inside and kicked off my shoes, stopping briefly to pat Kyah as she leaned up against my leg panting happily.
“Tea?” Belle asked, looking back over her shoulder at me as she walked into the kitchen, my mind once again momentarily distracted by her gorgeous curves. “Something stronger if you don’t mind” I replied with a smile, tearing my eyes away from her behind and reaching up to run my fingers through my hair, “It’s been a hell of a day”. Belle laughed and leaned forward against the kitchen bench, “So, tequila then?”. I chuckled and shook my head, “Perhaps not that strong”. Belle grinned, “Coffee it is”. I watched for a moment as she moved about the kitchen, a group of photograph frames on the hallway wall suddenly catching my eye. I stepped forward to get a closer look, unable to help my smile as I looked over the captured memories of Belle’s life.
There was a photo of her grinning gorgeously in a cap and gown, holding her veterinary degree proudly as she stood beside an older man that I could only assume was her father. There was another of her holding a very young looking Kyah, smiling happily as she held the small white and grey pup tightly in her arms. Another of Belle standing with a younger blonde girl, their olive skin golden brown with summer tan as they stood smiling at the camera with their arms around each other’s shoulders, a warm orange sunset in the background behind them. I did a double take at the photo beside it, Belle standing with two other girls, the three laughing at each other as they stood in bikinis in front of a turquoise blue beach. I lingered on the photo for longer than necessary, my eyes running over Belle’s incredible figure in her tiny mango yellow bikini and suddenly imagining her in nothing but lingerie. God yes. I shook my head and mentally scolded myself for letting my thoughts run wild, skimming over the last of the photos before turning and joining Belle in the kitchen.
“Sugar?”. I shook my head no and moved to sit on the couch, regarding Belle intently as she handed me the freshly brewed cup and sat beside me on the sofa. “Thank you love”. Belle smiled and turned her body to face me, leaning her elbow on the back of the cushions and resting her head against her hand. “So, long day?”. I shook my head apologetically, “Belle, I am so terribly sorry. I just—everything that could go wrong, did go wrong”. Belle’s face softened, her green eyes watching my face intently as she waited for me to explain. I told her how filming had taken longer than expected today, and when we did finally finish and had gotten to the airport, the plane had been delayed two hours. We eventually boarded and finally made it to London, only to find that there had been scheduling issues with landing and we’d had to circle for another two hours before we could touch down on the runway. On top of all that I’d accidentally packed my phone in my luggage and had no way of being able to text Belle to let her know I was running very late. I told Belle how I’d even considered using my assistant’s phone to contact her, only to quickly realise that I had no idea what her number was since it was stored in my mobile phone. When I’d finally gotten out of Heathrow airport I’d gotten my phone from my luggage to message her, only to - of course, find that the battery was dead.
“The whole thing really was a nightmare” I explained, shaking my head and taking a sip of my coffee, “And all I could think about was you waiting at home with Kal thinking where the hell is he?”. Belle laughed, “It was not at all like that. In fact, I was more so worried that something had gone wrong”. “Aw you were worried about me were you?” I asked, raising one eyebrow mischievously. Belle only grinned sheepishly, “Something like that”. We continued to talk for a little longer, Belle going on to tell me about her day today before showing me all the pictures and videos she’d taken of Kal during his stay with her. “He was a pleasure to look after, really. He was a perfect gentleman. You’ve trained him incredibly well Henry”. “Thank you Belle. And thank you for taking him. I can’t even tell you how appreciate I am, especially knowing that he was in safe hands and not stuck at some day care”. “You’re more than welcome Henry. As I said he was a pleasure and I’d happily look after him anytime”. Belle grinned her gorgeous smile at me and I was momentarily taken aback, my insides once again stirring as I looked back into her beautiful eyes.
I reached up and ran my fingers through my hair, my face softening as Belle let out an adorable yawn. It was almost two in the morning - of course she was tired. She’d probably been waiting up for me this whole time. Damn it Henry! “I’m terribly sorry Belle, it’s late I really should get going. I’ve kept you awake long enough, I should let you be”. Belle smiled, “Well I’ll agree with the awake part but definitely not the letting me be part”. I grinned, “Oh really?”. Belle nodded, “Absolutely”. “Well, on that note then, before I leave and let you get to bed” I offered as I took another sip of my coffee, “Any chance you’re not busy tomorrow? Because I’d really like to reschedule that date that we mentioned”. Belle grinned, “Well that definitely makes two of us. I am free tomorrow though, what did you have in mind?”. I smiled and shook my head, draining the last of my coffee and tapping my fingers against my mug. “Let’s keep it as a surprise for now. I’ll pick you up at say 11?”. Belle pouted adorably, her wide eyes almost making me reconsider my words, “That’s not playing fair Henry”.
I chuckled and stood up from the couch, grinning back at her and offering her my hand. “Maybe so, but I promise you’ll enjoy yourself love”. She only smiled and shook her head, putting her hand in mine and letting me pull her up beside me. My fingers lingered against hers and I looked down at her for a long moment, her eyes looking back at me and holding my gaze, green eyes to blue. My eyes flickered down to her soft lips and back again, my mind suddenly fighting the overwhelming urge to lean down and kiss her. It was something I’d thought about after dropping Kal off on Sunday, and again after each time we spoken over video chat each night. I was incredibly attracted to Belle - with her long caramel waves, perfect curves and gorgeous, light-up-her-face grin, not to mention her soft green eyes that only seemed to grow brighter every time I looked at her. It wasn’t just the way she looked either; she was wickedly smart, kind and incredibly passionate - something that I found to be immensely endearing in a woman. She was amazing and I couldn’t wait to take her out tomorrow, if only so that we could finally get to know each other properly, and maybe, just maybe, I’d be able to finally kiss her. I already knew exactly where I wanted to take Belle tomorrow - I’d been thinking about it for most of the week and had the entire day planned out in my head.
I inhaled softly and bent to press my lips to her cheek, pulling away and smiling down at her gorgeous face. “So I’ll see you tomorrow?”. Belle nodded, “That you will. Are you going to be okay to get home? It is pretty late”. I nodded, my face softening at her evident concern. “I’ll be fine love”. I released her hand and turned to look at Kal, whistling for him to stand and gesturing towards the door. “C'mon bear, time to go”. Kal jumped up and ran towards me, Kyah letting out a playful bark and following close behind as we all made our way to the door. “Kyah babe, not you. You’re staying here” Belle said softly, bending to pat Kal and ruffling his furry head. “See you big boy! You be good for your dad okay?”. I smiled and clipped on Kal’s lead, opening the front door and turning to look back at Belle one last time. “Thank you again for having him Belle, honestly it was an enormous help”. Belle grinned, “Any time Henry, he - and his owner for that matter, are welcome here anytime”. I chuckled and leaned forward to kiss her cheek one last time, once again fighting the urge to grab her face in my hands and press my lips to hers. “I’ll see you tomorrow love. Goodnight Belle”. Belle smiled, “I can’t wait. Goodnight Henry, sweet dreams”.
