4. Bacon and Eggs

**Anna**

Ouch. The thought crossed my mind before I even opened my eyes. I was trying to re-call the events of last night when my eyes opened and I couldn’t recognise where I was.

I noticed I was wearing a men’s shirt. “Oh no”. The thoughts escaping my mouth.

Tom was standing in the doorway eagerly staring at me like he did. I didn’t know if he wanted to eat me or… just liked to stare.

“Hi, morning umm.. did we.. oh gosh. Was I?..”

Before I could finish my train of thought Tom spoke. “I brought you here last night as you were really drunk and passed out before you could tell me where you lived. We didn’t fuck.”.

I felt a tinge of disappointment but also a wave of relief at his firm words.

“Sylvie my arr house maid helped clean you up. I didn’t have any clothes for you so I just put you in one of my shirts. I slept on the sofa”. He added before I could voice my next question.

A house maid! Who the hell was this guy. I didn’t realise Tradies were that well off. It must be his parents house I questioned to myself.

“Sorry I was such a mess”. Was all I could muster. “Some booty call huh”, I joked.

He laughed at my joke before saying something about my booty that I didn’t quite catch.

“Would you like some breakfast?”, he questioned.

I wasn’t sure if food would make me feel worse or better, but I guess we’d find out.

“Sure, I just umm.. I don’t have any clothes”, I said as I looked around realising I wasn’t even wearing underwear under this shirt.

“Oh we don’t need clothes for where we are going”.

I blushed nervously, as he pulled me up and helped me out of bed before pulling me into the kitchen.

This apartment was massive. The room I stepped out of had a massive view of the city. From there it went into an open area with a few occasional chairs and a small bar area probably used for entertaining, we finally made it to the kitchen which was down a hall and opened up to an equally as large area consisting of an open kitchen and large dining area. This had to be his parents house.

“So are you just here by yourself?” I asked without trying to seem like I’d just made assumptions up in my head.

“Slyvie just went to grab you some clothes and other than Norm, it’s just us.”

“Is Norm your dad?”.

He laughed at me like I just made a joke I was unaware of. “Norm is an employee”.

I had no idea who this guy was. He gave me a peck on the cheek and my insides began to swirl around with butterflies. How was he having such an affect and nothing had even happened.

“So what would you like for breakfast. Bacon and eggs usually helps me in your state?”.

My tummy grumbled, “that sounds good yes please!”.

He made his way around the kitchen, grabbing out the bacon and eggs as I watched his movement from the breakfast bar. His face was so alluring and his arm muscles made me a little weak. I could see the outline of his muscles from under the white casual shirt he was wearing. For the first time I noticed he had a sort of Celtic tattoo wrapped around his left arm mid way up from his wrist. Mmm he was hot! Completely unaware he’d caught me checking him out, he served up breakfast and poured us each a glass of juice before placing it on the table behind me.

“I don’t usually just hang around after, well.. not that we..”, I stopped before simply saying thank you for breakfast.

After we ate Slyvie came in and gave me a large bag with some clothes in it. “Hi Anna, sorry I took your dress to get dry cleaned and it won’t be ready until this afternoon. There are some clothes in there for you though and you’ll find the necessities in the bathroom when you want to get cleaned up. Mr Conor that other matter, the paperwork is on your desk”. She handed me the bag before addressing Tom and then making herself scarce.

“You have a maid?”. I asked as she left.

“Sometimes this place is too big to keep on top of and work gets the better of me. Slyvie helps a lot.”. Tom answered.

“Oh, I didn’t realise Tradies did that much.” It escaped my mouth before I realised how harsh that may have sounded.

Tom just laughed again without saying anything more. “Feel free to get cleaned up and then, there’s something I want to talk to you about Anna”, Tom said in a more serious tone.

It scared me, as well as interested me. But I ran off to the bathroom where he had directed trying not to get lost.

A toothbrush, shampoo, conditioner, face wash, body wash and anything else I could have imagined or needed was placed on the bathroom counter. It was all still in its packets and neatly laid out for me.

I hoped in the shower and washed myself. I don’t know why, but I started to get excited about whatever Tom wanted to talk to me about. All thoughts of Jon had vanished. And then I remembered Mae.. I didn’t even text her to let her know I was here. I’d call her once I was out.

I grabbed the body wash and started lathering it on my body. I grabbed at my boobs. For my 20th birthday I got my nipple pierced, trying to make myself think I was crazy and wild. It made it extremely sensitive. As I imagined how it would feel being wrapped up in Tom’s arms I slowly edged my hands down my body to just under my navel.

My fingers lingered over my sensitive spot. A moan left my mouth. I was interrupted to a knock at the door.

“Anna, your phone keeps going off. Sorry to interrupt but you might want to tell Mae you’re okay”. Tom’s voice came through the door and instantly my face flushed as I realised what I was doing and thinking about.

I cleaned up and got out quickly drying myself before putting on the clothes given to me by Slyvie.

Mmm lace huh. I thought as I pulled out the very sexy lingerie she supplied. There was a cute summery dress and a pair of jeans and a shirt. I much preferred dresses so I put on the summery dress. I brushed my hair out and went into the sitting area where Tom was.

He gave me my phone and I saw the million notifications including 19 missed called from Mae.

I dialled her back!

“Anna! Holy shit you’re alive! Did you go home with Tom last night! Do you realise that’s the Thomas Conor?!” The name didn’t mean much to me, but Mae followed along with all the gossip and knew who was who.

“Ummm yeah I’m here still.” I said trying to be quiet as I wasn’t standing far from Tom. I walked a few steps away aware that Tom’s gaze hadn’t left me.

“Ohhhhh A got one last night”, she mocked. “Can’t wait to hear all about it, I’ll see you soon?” She asked.

“Yeah I think so, we just had breakfast so I’ll be home soon. I’ll tell you then M”. I hung up before trying to hide the blush now currently present on my face and turned to look at Tom.

“That dress suits you Anna, you look… adorable”. Tom complimented as he looked me up and down.

Again, I blushed.
