Chapter 6: Because You Were Kind

‘What made you decide to try a roast dinner?’ Rebecca asked. ‘I thought it was a good challenge.’ Aaron told her. ‘It’s not just getting all of the cooking right, it’s getting everything to be ready at the same time.’ Rebecca smiled, she well remembered having the same difficulty when she started learning.

‘And as I’ve had so many lovely Sunday roasts off mum and dad, and off your mum and dad, I was determined to do one myself and invite them. So now I’ll get to do a roast three times,’ Aaron told her. ‘One for the two of us now, and one for each set of parents in the weeks ahead.’

Rebecca liked the sound of ‘each set of parents.’ It sounded like they were already one big family. As indeed they would be if she and Aaron got married. When they finished their wine, Rebecca moved along the settee and cuddled up into Aarons side.

He put his arm around her. ‘This is lovely,’ she told him, ‘I’d love it if life could be like this every day.’ ‘It will be one day,’ Aaron told her, ‘All you have to do is say ‘Yes’ when I propose. Unless you want to wait until the next leap year and do it yourself, of course.’ he suggested with a grin.

Rebecca did a quick flick through the calendar in her mind. The next leap year was two years off. ‘I don’t want to wait that long,’ she told him. ‘I’ll bear that in mind,’ he told her, ‘They say you should never keep a lady waiting.’ They moved to sit at the table.

For starter, Aaron had done a small piece of poached fillet of plaice, in white wine and cream. It had half a dozen small, cooked prawns on top to decorate it. It was served with a small thin slice of buttered white bread with the crusts cut off and cut into four triangles.

They had a glass of white wine with that. When they had finished it, Rebecca complemented him on the taste and the presentation. Aaron took the plates away and turned the roast potatoes over. They returned to the settee for another cuddle, then both went into the kitchen to dish up and serve.

Sitting at the table again, this time with a glass of red wine, they tucked into roast beef, roast potatoes, roast parsnips, runner beans and shredded cabbage. After that they both cleared away, then returned to the settee. This time they stayed longer, content just to be sitting side by side in each other’s arms.

Returning to the table, Aaron served up desert. Today he had done a bread-and-butter pudding, following a recipe he had found online, which he served with whipped cream. When they had finished, they cleared away and washed up. After everything was put away, Aaron sent Rebecca to sit on the settee whilst he made them a coffee.

When he brought it out and put a cup on the small tables at each end of the settee, Rebecca stood up, took him in her arms and kissed him. When they broke for air, she told him he had passed his test, he certainly could cook. They sat and had their coffee.

Then Rebecca said, ‘I feel so full, I could go to sleep.’ ‘Stretch out if you want to.’ Aaron told her, patting his lap. She put her head down on his lap and lay smiling up at him. He rested one hand on her head and stroked her forehead. His other hand he rested over her waist.

Before very long, his hand had slid up and started caressing her breasts. That of course made him go very hard. Even through the lovely sensations his caress was giving her, Rebecca became aware of his hardness on the side of her head. Without thinking, she turned her head slightly and kissed it over his trousers.

Even trapped in his clothes, it managed to give her a firm smack on her lips. As she exclaimed, ‘Ow!’ Aaron told her, ‘Sorry, when you touch him, he gets so excited that I have no control over his reaction. He was just trying to say hello.’

‘He didn’t really hurt,’ she said, ‘It startled me more than anything,’ We’d better think about moving now,’ Aaron told her. I’m sure your mum and dad will be worrying, knowing Ian is away and we have the flat to ourselves.’ They got up and had a long kiss.

As Aaron caressed her breasts, Rebecca put her hand between his legs and after holding it still for a while, she moved her fingers about and explored it. Aaron cried out in delight and his cock did a dance which made them both very excited.
