Part 6
Paul woke up to the sound of his own stomach growling with hunger. He lifted his head from where it lay on Wil’s chest and looked over at the clock only to discover that it was already 6pm. He sighed as he realised they’d slept through the entire afternoon. This was his last day with Wil for a while and he would have liked to do something more productive than sleep.
He rolled onto his side and leant up on his elbow, staring down at his sleeping lover. Wil looked so peaceful when he slept, and he looked rather adorable too. His hair was all scruffy, his eyes closed, his soft lips looking so inviting that Paul couldn’t resist the urge to lean down and kiss them softly.
When Paul pulled away a quiet moan escaped Wil’s lips and his eyes flicked open. He looked up and Paul and smiled.
“Hmm what are you staring at?”
“You.”
Paul smiled and leant down to place another soft kiss on Wil’s lips. But this time Wil responded, slipping his arms around Paul’s neck and drawing him deeper into the kiss. They were starting to get carried away when suddenly Paul’s stomach growled loudly again. He pulled away from Wil who started to laugh.
“Well I knew you were hungry for me Pauly but I think that’s going a bit far.”
Paul laughed and smacked Wil playfully on the chest.
“Come on let’s go get some dinner.”
Paul rolled off Wil and got out of bed, finding a pair of boxer shorts and slipping them on. He turned back to see Wil just staring at him, making no effort to move.
“You coming?”
“I could be shortly if you got back in bed.”
Paul picked up Wil’s shorts and threw them at him, then wandered around looking for something to wear. He stood there looking indecisive for a moment and then he sighed and turned back to Wil.
“You want to go out to eat or just order in a pizza or something?”
Wil didn’t respond to Paul right away. Instead he just stared at him for a moment before he finally got out of bed and walked across the room to him. He slipped his arms around Paul’s waist and smiled.
“Well I have an idea if you’d like to hear it.”
Paul let his arms slide around Wil’s shoulders and he leant down and kissed him tenderly before pulling back and smiling.
“Go right ahead.”
Wil smiled.
“Well, I thought for starters we could go and grab a pizza and then head down to the beach to watch the sunset while we eat our dinner. Then head back here to the apartment for dessert.”
Paul felt a shiver run down his spine and he knew that Wil had felt it as well because he smirked. Paul nodded.
“Sounds perfect to me.”
Wil smiled and kissed Paul again before pulling away to gather some clothes and get dressed. Paul was momentarily distracted by the sight of Wil bending over naked in front of him but managed to get dressed himself. They then headed out of the apartment to start their evening.
**
Wil sighed. They’d been arguing about what type of pizza to get for the last ten minutes.
“Half and half?”
Paul pouted.
“Alright fine. But don’t go stealing my pineapple.”
Wil just shook his head and went to order a half-Hawaiian, half-Aussie pizza. He didn’t even like pineapple, but he just loved it when Paul made that cute little sad face. They took a seat and waited for the pizza.
“I’m really gonna miss you Paul.”
Paul sighed, part of him glad to hear Wil say that and part of him wishing he wouldn’t. It was going to be hard enough being away from Wil for two weeks without knowing how much Wil was missing him as well.
“I know. I’ll miss you too.”
“You sure you have to go?”
Paul looked right at Wil.
“Come on let’s please not start that discussion again. You know why I have to go, nothing you say will change it. Please let’s just enjoy tonight?”
“Okay.”
Wil nodded in agreement, but his mind was thinking other things. He still had a bad feeling about Paul going to Melbourne; he just didn’t want to cause another argument with Paul about it. Wil decided to push all those thoughts to the back of his mind for the moment and just enjoy his last evening with Paul.
