Love Though Any Time (8/?) Torchwood NC-17
Chapter Seven
James
“You were quiet this morning,” Martha said when she joined me at the couch with two cups of coffee. I looked up just as she handed over my mug before looking down at the coffee swirling in the mug. I started to sigh.
“I didn’t want to embarrass Emmett,” I replied with my head down.
“Why?” Martha asked rather puzzled.
I smiled to myself, “I found him naked in the kitchen and he offered to make breakfast.”
Now I wish I had let him stay with me, I heard Martha think in my mind. I looked up and started to laugh.
“What about Tom?” I asked which made her hit me on the arm.
“You’re reading my mind aren’t you?” She asked quite a little outraged. I kept laughing before putting the coffee to my lips.
“Well I’m not the one with dirty thoughts,” I replied hiding the little smirk on my face.
“Oh I bet you had them this morning,” Martha retorted pushing me again on the arm, “And don’t lie to me.”
I put the coffee cup on to the table and looked back at Martha, “I think I flirted with him last night.”
“Ok, it’s natural he is a very attractive man,” Martha replied with a smile.
“I know but Martha I...” I began but put my head down and ran a hand through my hair, “I saw him differently, like I.....”
“James, I thought you were bisexual?” Martha asked.
I was about to answer when Gwen appeared with a cup of coffee in her hand. She smiled before sitting down on the couch next to Martha.
“Ianto’s taken Emmett out to do a little shopping,” Gwen said with a smile, “So you might have to get him a wardrobe.”
“Oh there is already one in the spare room,” I replied, “Though I don’t think it’s big enough.” I added as I thought about it a little more.
“You were quiet this morning,” Gwen told me echoing the words of what Martha had observed earlier. I saw Martha smile.
“James woke up to find Emmett naked in his kitchen,” Martha said with a slight smirk.
“Really?” Gwen asked rather surprised.
“Yes he offered to make breakfast,” I replied rather annoyed, “I also noticed that he has a fine arse, now if you excuse me I’m going for a walk.”
I looked out into the bay while leaning on the metal railing. I couldn’t help but think about Emmett, he was so apologetic when he came out of the shower, handsomely dressed in a blue shirt and black trousers. I was a little speechless but told him that he didn’t need to apologise. He explained that he thought I wasn’t going to get up for awhile and he was going to cook breakfast after the shower.
It was hard to keep my mind off his gorgeous body plus that charming smile. I knew that he wanted to make it up to me but I didn’t want to let him. I didn’t deserve it since well I felt strange around him, uncomfortable but confident enough to openly flirt with him.
Why was this happening to me?
