Won’t Go Slowly // 60

A/N: Sorry this took so long you guys!! NSFW stuff at the end. Also,, how the hell have I written 60 chapters?!

One // Two // Three // Four // Five // Six // Seven // Eight // Nine // Ten // Eleven // Twelve // Thirteen // Fourteen // Fifteen // Sixteen // Seventeen // Eighteen // Nineteen// Twenty // Twenty One // Twenty Two // Twenty Three // Twenty Four// Twenty Five // Twenty Six // Twenty Seven // Twenty Eight // Twenty Nine // Thirty // Thirty One // Thirty Two // Thirty Three // Thirty Four// Thirty Five // Thirty Six // Thirty Seven // Thirty Eight // Thirty Nine // Forty // Forty One // Forty Two // Forty Three // Forty Four // Forty Five // Forty Six // Forty Seven // Forty Eight // Forty Nine // Fifty // Fifty One // Fifty Two // Fifty Three // Fifty Four // Fifty Five // Fifty Six // Fifty Seven // Fifty Eight // Fifty Nine For some reason, it was so much easier to say goodbye to Tyler now that you were together.

You still missed him, of course you did, but you also knew that he was coming home to you, that he was wishing that you were there right now.

It wasn't that you'd even not told each other you missed each other, or that you loved each other, but it was so much more real now. You knew he was going to call you, not under the guise of just letting you know that he'd arrived or because he wanted to check and see how you were doing, but because he just wanted to hear the sound of your voice or share your days together, even when you weren't physically together.

You'd been pretty much inseparable the past couple of weeks, and while you certainly wouldn't complaining about that continuing, it was nice to have some one-on-one time with Bentley, too. Well, with three labs not far from you at all times, because Tyler had actually let all three of them stay with you when he was gone this time,although he'd made you promise that you'd call his mom if it got to be too much and you need her to pick the boys up. It wasn't too much, though, not when they were just part of their home, and even though Tyler had only been gone for a few hours, you really didn't think you'd have any issues.

You'd tried to help Tyler pack last night, while Bentley was sleeping in his room like he usually did during the first part of the evening, while usually you and Tyler would watch TV until Bentley got up for his later feeding, and then he'd come into your room for the night. Except, you'd somehow realized that Tyler didn't have his bags at your house, and you'd wanted him to go home and grab them so he could be ready to to go in the morning, but he'd insisted that he'd be fine, that he'd just figure it out before he left, that all he wanted to do was order in a pizza, and lay in bed with you. You'd ordered the pizza, of course, but you'd had to get half of it with his toppings and have with yours, because he seemed to be offended by the mere idea of putting vegetables on a pizza, even though you'd explained that, technically, the tomato sauce did contain vegetables. Somehow, though, while you were trying to sort through your laundry, you'd ended up kissing. And then the touching over clothes turned int8uo touching against warm skin, and you ended up having slow sex, like you wanted to memorize the feeling of his skin against yours, your lips moving together, how he felt inside you. You gotten so dang lost in each other, that you hadn't heard the pizza boy knock a couple of times, which prompted him to knock louder, and then Tyler had had to scramble out of bed and pull a pair of shorts on while you went to deal with Bentley, who was then crying, and the dogs, who were then barking. So you'd ended up watching T.V. and eating pizza in bed, but with the baby on your boob and the dogs at your feet and Tyler reclined next to you.

It was perfect.

It was a bit of a mess getting Tyler out the door, mainly because you suspected he wasn't quite as prepared as he suggested that he was, and you'd all somehow managed to fall back asleep early this morning, even though you'd been pretty sure that Bentley had decided that the day should start at five in the morning.

Still, Tyler had leaned in when you said goodbye to him at the door, kissing you long, and slow, and soft, his lips just barely pressed against yours and, yet somehow managing to have no space between you, either. You smiled, every time, because you could still feel his lips, his hand holding your waist. You knew he was coming back.

But you knew it wasn't always going to be just a few days.

The summer was just barely getting started, and already you were worried about what was going to happen when it was over. Right now, you didn't even feel like you could force yourself to be anything other than blissed out with the newness of everything, but there was that little part of you that knew the summer was going to end, and you already felt like you should do something to brace yourself, knowing that that would probably be harder than when he left last year, when you were newly pregnant, and it had felt like you'd gotten the rug pulled out from under you, like you’d lost your anchor.

Now, though, his shoes were still by your front door, your bedsheets smelled like a mix of him, and dogs, and baby, just like home, his name lighting up your phone screen.

"Hi," you smiled, pulling your phone to your ear and kind of surprised he was calling because he had already texted you to let you know be landed, but kind of not surprised either, because it was you and Tyler.

"Hey," he responded, his voice sounding quiet, like you were the only person he ever wanted to talk to. "What's up?"

"Like what am I doing?" You laughed, leaning over to pause the TV."

"Yep."

"Oh, I'm pumping," you said.

You kind of expected Tyler to laugh, but he didn't. "Ah, what are the boys up to?" He asked, "All four."

"Bentley's swinging," you smiled, looking over at him and laughing, because his eyes were looking rather sleepy, just barely focused on the toys hanging above him, "And Cash and Marshall are sleeping, and Gerry's playing with a toy. Oh, no, Marshall's awake actually."

Tyler laughed as you leaned over, petting the head that had popped up. "Is he staring at you now?"

"Yes," you said, continuing to rub Marshall between the ears even as he set his head back down. "What are you guys up to?"

"Ah, we just got to the house, Dad's hanging some of his clothes up or something, then we're gonna go grab something to eat."

"Oh, did you bring enough outfits?" You asked.

"Did I bring enough outfits?" Tyler repeated with a laugh, and you realized that probably wasn't the best word for you to use. "Umm..yeah, I live here, you know, I have enough stuff here."

That seemed weird to you, too, to have your stuff scattered around and various places and, thinking about it, you realized that he had stuff at both of his houses, at your house, at his mom's house, like his life was just split, and he was all the way out there and you were all the way back here.

"Do you need me to check on anything at your house?" You asked, "I'm probably gonna take the boys over there today or tomorrow and let them go swimming."

You froze a little, realizing that you probably should have spelled the word out rather than said it, but luckily none of the dogs seemed to perk their ears up.

"Mmmnope," Tyler said easily, even though you weren't sure entirely when the last time he was at his house was. "So...I'm pretty sure my dad knows we had sex."

"What?" you barked out a laugh.

"Yeah," Tyler said, and you could almost hear him moving his hand over his face as he thought. "Like, he kept asking how you were and stuff, and he was asking stuff like he knew that I stayed at your house last night."

"Is that a bad thing?" You laughed.

"No, but I didn't really think he'd assume we were sleeping together."

"Well, I don't..." you started, laughing, pulling your legs up under yourself, "I mean, I think its kinda obvious like our families know you've seen me naked at least."

"What are you talking about? No, they don't."

"Tyler," you said, "you lifted up the cover when I was feeding him at the restaurant and looked at my boobs."

"What? No, I didn't."

"Yes, you did," you laughed, waiting for him to go through the moment in his mind again.

"Oh...oops," Tyler said now, "Okay, for the record, I was looking at him not your boobs."

"Well, my boobs were there," you laughed again.

"Sorry?" Tyler said, a little sheepishly, and you laughed a third time.

"I don't think anyone was surprised, you were there when I gave birth," you said, "Like, really, right up in there."

"I got caught up in the moment," Tyler said, his voice hinted with a tone of awe. "And everyone probably knew we had sex already, I know how girls talk."

"No, not everyone knew," you said. "Just Danielle."

"Not your sister?"

"Well, no, she knew, but not right away, she figured it out later."

"Mhmm," Tyler said smugly.

"What?"

"I just knew you'd talked about it."

"Oh, so what, you didn't tell anyone?"

"No, I don't talk to people about that stuff, that's private," Tyler said, "Although if you want to tell everyone how good I am in bed, I don't have a problem with it."

"Tyler," you scolded. "I didn't tell her everything, just...see would notice when I started not going to the doctor every month, and I couldn't be like 'Hey, I'm going over to Tyler's house, but you can't come because we have to have sex'".

Tyler started giggling, "Oh, had to?"

"Well, not had to," you clarified. "You know what I mean."

"Yeah, I do," Tyler said, "so you guys just hanging out this weekend?"

"Yeah, we're just gonna play and nap, and I'm gonna go see my mom on Sunday," you said, "my main goal though is to watch our sheets so they're clean when yoyou get home."

"I can't wait," Tyler said, and then you could hear his dad's voice in the background before he realized Tyler was on the phone, anand then you smiled, because you could here him asking if he was talking to you, to which Tyler replied an "Mhmm" and you could hear Paul say, "Tell her I say hi".

"Dad says "hi", Tyler said.

"Yeah, I heard, " you laughed, "Tell him I say hi."

You could hear Tyler telling him, shifting on the couch 1and looking down at what you were doing. "So you guys going out now?"

"Yeah, Dad promised he'd buy me lunch," Tyler said, laughing, and you could hear Paul in the background saying otherwise. "I'll call you later though, okay?"

"Okay," you smiled, about to say goodbye to him as you were standing up to go into the kitchen.

"I love you," Tyler said, his voice soft, and light, and playful, but you knew he meant it, and it still made you stop where you were, even with bottles hanging off your boobs and you smiled.

"I love you, too."

He called you later, like he said he would too, and this time you smiled when you saw it was a Facetime call, answering it to see him sitting back in a lounge chair like he planned to talk to you for awhile, and smiling when he saw you, even though you were laying on your back on the floor, the phone held at what was an incredibly unflattering angle, and he was just looking so damn good, his sunglasses reflecting the phone in his hand back at you.

"Hey," you smiled, holding your phone up above your head, "How's it going?"

"Good," he said, moving his hand behind his

head, and you shifted so Bentley's head came into view.

"Whatcha guys doing?" Tyler asked.

"We were just looking at some books" you said, Bentley making little noises, and you turned your head, kissing him on the cheek. "He didn't really take a very good nap, so I'm trying to have quiet time so he doesn't get overtired."

"Ah," Tyler said, gazing off like he was thinking. "Did you know its really good for you to read books to babies his age, even though they can't understand the words? Like, it helps them learn about emotions, and inflections, and stuff. Is that right? Inflections?"

"Yes," you smiled, "Inflections. And I did know that."

"Well, of course you did," Tyler said playfully, smiling at you. "I just thought it was kind of cool. Is he into looking at books?"

"Umm.." you said, looking over at Bentley. "Well, he mostly just looks at me rather than the book."

"Obviously, " Tyler grinned, and you smiled, moving your head to find Bentley looking back at you.

"He has this book at home, that's like all black and white so its high contrast, he'll stare at that."

"Oh," Tyler started, and then he frowned, looking closer to the phone. "Are you at my house?"

"Yeah, don't you recognize the carpet?" You asked.

"No?" Tyler asked, "It's the same as yours."

"No, it's not."

"Well, similar," Tyler said, "I'm colour blind, remember?"

"No, you are not," you said, and even though you couldn't see behind his sunglasses, you knew that he had those crinkles he got right at the the corners of his eyes when he was really happy, not just smiling for show and you could tell, somehow, just by the position of his body that he had his legs comfortably crossed. "You look relaxed."

"Well, how could I not be?" Tyler asked, "The sun's out, I've got a beautiful girl on the phone, and Dad's over their getting a tan."

You smiled, "Did you put sunscreen on?"

"Whose mom are you?" Tyler laughed, even though he turned his hat around so it was shading his face, sticking his tongue out at you. "You really like this face, huh?"

"No, I really like you," you said, and Tyler smiled, running his hand over his face, and then you smiled too, looking over at Bentley babbling to himself.

"Did you try to put him down to nap there? Is that why he didn't sleep?"

"No, he slept for a bit," you said. You'd forgotten that Tyler had bought a Dockotot for his house as well as a the same bouncer that you had at your house because he wanted Bentley to have "somewhere to chill" at his house, which made it a lot easier to head over to Tyler's house without having to actually pack everything you needed to bring. You'd managed to put him down for a nap for about 45 minutes though, settled in his dockatot on the dining room table, so you could keep an eye on him while you tidied up around Tyler's place. Not because it was really messy, but more because you just had this urge to be domestic, to give him something nice to come home to. "He was really sad earlier, and we needed to get out of the house so we came over here, and we just had some time outside and threw sticks for the dogs."

"Did it help?" Tyler asked.

You nodded. "I just put him in his wrap thing and walked around, and then he seemed to calm down."

You left out the part that Bentley had screamed the entire car ride over, which had made the dogs cry.

Thankfully the car ride was incredibly short.

"He's probably sad because he misses me," Tyler said.

"I'm sure he does," you said, "That's why we've been looking at your books, and your toys, and it made him happy."

"Awe, I miss you guys, too," Tyler said, and then you made a little scream of surprise when Gerry started climbing over you, putting your arm out to stop him and then patting him.

"Do you miss your dad, too?" You asked him, and he sat down, looking at you expectantly, Tyler's laughing coming through the phone. You rubbed Gerry behind the ears, and then Bentley started making noises to let you know that he was not enjoying laying on the floor anymore, and you leaned over, scooping him up so he was in the curve of your arm, and reaching for his pacifier, and he relaxed against your arm.

"Are you gonna sleep good tonight for Mom?" Tyler asked, "I bet you're gonna be tired if you're on a nap strike."

"I hope so," you said, bouncing Bentley a little.

"You should take lessons from this guy," Tyler said, panning the camera over to where his dad was laid out, his hat laid over his face. You watched as Tyler clearly sat up, leaning over and pushing his finger against the hat.

"Tyler," you whispered yelled, and you could hear him laugh, giggling even more when Paul's hand started moving towards his hat while clearly still asleep, Tyler's hand coming out once again to knock it free, and now you could see an eye open, and a smile creeping across his face, while the phone shook ww7ith Tyler trying not to laugh.

"Y/N wanted me to check and make sure you had sunscreen on," Tyler said.

"Oh, I did not!" you protested, which, of course, made Tyler laugh.

"You think I actually believe you?" Paul said dryly, before cracking a smile, and Tyler laughed even more.

"I just wanted you to join the party," Tyler said.

"Hey, Y/N," he said, "how are you?"

"We're good," you smiled, bouncing Bentley a little, "how was your lunch?"

You listened as he told you about this spot that they'd gotten tacos for lunch, and that you should try it the next time you were in Dallas, trying hard not to smile as you could see Tyler doing as he sat back down, because Tyler had already taken you there a7 couple of times. Now that Tyler was sitting down and you were holding Bentley, you pushed yourself up, moving to get more comfortable on the sofa, moving your hair back so Bentley didn't get it tangled around his fingers.

"What happened to your neck?" Tyler asked.

"My neck?" you asked, "Nothing?"

"Like right here?" Tyler said, pointing to an area on his own neck, and you couldn't figure out what he was getting at until you looked at the mischievous look on his face.

"I don't," you said, feeling your face flame red, thinking about the marks that he'd sucked into your neck yesterday, clearing your throat, "Yeah, I don't know."

"Did you burn yourself with a curling iron or something?" Tyler asked now, cockily, and you clenched your jaw, trying hard not to tell him to stop like you wanted to, because then it would be even more obvious, and his dad was freaking right there, but you still tried to shoot a glare at Tyler through the screen so he knew what you were thinking.

"I guess, maybe," you stumbled out, rather inelegantly, and Tyler started laughing, and you wanted to do nothing more than pull your hair right over your face and shrink down into the couch, like you were 14 and you'd been playing Truth or Dare at Tyler's house, completely worried his parents were going to overhear, completely irrationally naive, and always the good girl of the group.

Instead though, you turned your attention to the sweet little thing in your arms, who you kind of never wanted him to grow up and lose his innocence, sliding the pacifier he was looking for towards his mouth, feeling thankful that Tyler's dad also seemed to be ignore his son's laughter.

At least one of the Seguin men didn't want to embarrass you.

"Hi big guy," Paul said in a soft voice, and you smiled, lifting Bentley's head to try and encourage him to look towards your phone.

"Whose that?" you asked him, tapping the screen, but his eyes just kind of passed by, looking towards you, and then he turned his head back to wear it was before, and you laughed.

"Bentley," Tyler said now, half singing and half cooing, "Look at me."

"He's looking at his guard dogs," you said, turning the camera to face where Marshall and Cash were laying near the end of the blanket that you'd Bentley stretched out on.

"You left all the dogs with her?" Paul asked.

"Mhmm.." Tyler answered, looking over at him.

"She wanted me to."

"That just seems like a lot," he said, "three dogs and a baby."

"She's supermom," Tyler said, and the way that he was grinning made your heart clench, like all he wanted to do was talk about you, like he couldn't be more proud of you, and he even imagine that anyone would see you any differently than he did. "She likes them to stay with her to keep her company, otherwise she gets too lonely without me."

He was saying it half like he was exaggerating, but the other half sweetly, and you couldn't even pretend it wasn't true.

"They're really well behaved," you added.

"Oh, I know," Paul said assuredly, "and I know Tyler wouldn't leave you without making sure you were okay."

"No, he wouldn't," you said, smiling softly, your eyes just naturally moving towards Tyler and meeting his gaze. As much as you tried, because you knew that there were other people to pay attention to, too, and yet you couldn't stop from just looking at him.

You felt Bentley's little hand come up, gripping around the top of your shirt like he did so often when you held him like this.

"He's got a strong grip, eh?" Paul asked.

"Yeah, he does that all the time when he's comfy," you smiled, looking down at him. You loved it, really, like he couldn't get snuggle up to you close enough, leaning down to kiss him on the forehead.

"Either that or he just wraps his whole hand around your finger," Tyler said, mimicking with his own hand.

"Yeah, he does," you smiled, bouncing Bentley a little, and then looking back up at the screen. "I can't believe you haven't met him yet."

"Yeah, I remember how it is, it's busy," Paul said.

It felt strange to you, suddenly, to be setting up plans with Tyler's dad, to actually have a kid of your own, and now it was up to you to plan when he got to meet family when, in so many ways, you still felt the same as you did years ago, when you first when off to University, and it seemed completely foreign to you that Tyler had his own place, while you were just getting used to the fact that you didn't have to tell your mom where you were going to be all the time.

It had seemed even stranger, still, that you could just get on a plane by yourself to go visit Tyler, to stay a few nights and just have it be okay.

Or a year or two later, when Tyler had told you he was thinking about getting a dog, and that had seemed like such a huge responsibility, to have someone depending on you, and to workout making sure that Marshall would be taken care of when Tyler was gone.

And, yet, that too, had seemed exciting, to have something to love as your own, to grow with you.

To change you forever.

"We're getting the hang of things," you said, "I mean, for now, I'm sure it'll change again in a few weeks."

"Oh, I'm sure you're a natural," Paul said, "You always took care of my girls. And Tyler a little bit, too."

"Tyler a lot a bit," Tyler grinned, "Still does."

"Well, I didn't want to say anything with you right here," Paul said, smiling before he laughed.

Tyler shrugged, "I know how awesome she is for me, you don't gotta tell me twice," he said, looking at you, "and now we gotta stop talking about this before she starts crying."

"Tyler," you said, even though you had to admit that there was a lump in the back of your throat, your eyes warm with emot

"What?" he asked innocently.

"Don't make fun of me."

"I'm not, you're so cute when you're all emotional," he promised, "I just don't want to get you all crying when I'm not there to cuddle you."

You felt the corners of your mouth tug up into a smile and, once again, you felt your heart clench, and you had to remind yourself that you were together, even though there was still this sweet layer on top, like he still had a crush on you.

"Are you giving Mama lots of cuddles, Bentley?" Tyler asked, in that soft voice that made you fall more and more in love with him every time.

"The best baby cuddles, I don't know how I'm supposed to get anything done with him," you said, your finger running up and down his little hand, feeling the warmth coming from his little body. "But, yeah, you'll have to come meet him after you guys get home, Paul," you said.

"Oh, yeah, for sure," he said, "whatever's easiest for you."

"I mean, anything's fine," you said, "we just really should have done something sooner." It Had just been a lot, lately,though you were proud of yourself for managing to send him a thank you card for the piggy bank he'd sent for Bentley, along with his first few coins to fill it with, and you almost couldn't wait for him to get old enough to tell you what toy or game he wanted to save his birthday money up to buy. But you still felt bad, because you'd seen Tyler's mom and sisters, and you didn't want his dad to feel left out.

"Don't worry about it," he said, "I've been getting so many pictures and videos, it's like I already met him."

'Well, I can't help it," Tyler said.

"What, you're sending him pictures?" You asked, "I've been sending him pictures."

"Oh, I get them from you, from the girls, your mom..." Paul said towards Tyler, "you'll send me one, and then y/n will send the exact same one laterthat night."

You all just kind of looked at each other and laughed, because you could tell that he got it, too. You slid over a little as Marshall jumped up on the couch next to you, sitting up and looking at you for a moment before he laid down, Gerry's nose sniffing at your legs and then at Bentley, while Cash was still laying calmly on the floor, although you'd noticed he'd crawled a bit closer.

"So you're staying at Tyler's, Y/N?" Paul asked, and it took you a moment to process the question.

"Oh, no," you said finally, probably a few moments too late, "we just came over for a bit."

"Yeah, she broke into my house, can you believe it?" Tyler asked.

"You mean with the key you gave her years ago?" Paul asked.

"Yep, that's the one," Tyler grinned. "Then I just come home and she's rearranged my whole spice cabinet, my blankets are tossed over the couch like they're from a magazine, and my freezer is filled with food."

"I said I didn't mean to," you laughed, "I got carried away."

"No, I loved that you nested my house," Tyler said, "Then it was all cute and home-y when I got in, it was awesome."

You smiled, your eyes wandering by the time on the clock on the stove. "Speaking of home, I should probably get this guy home so we can start getting ready for bed."

"We?" Tyler asked. "Wow, you really go to bed early when I'm not there."

You rolled your eyes at his obvious sarcasm. "No, I am going to curl up on the couch, and eat leftover pizza and watch a movie or something with the dogs."

"Glass of wine?" Tyler asked.

"No, I don't like to drink when I have him by myself."

"Ah," Tyler said, "I hope he's not gonna be too mad that I'm not there to give him his evening

"bottle." He was clearly joking, but you smiled as you listened to him tell his dad that that was part of Bentley's routine now for him to make Bentley a bottle while you gave him a bath or got him changed into his pajamas, and then you'd feed him once more before you all went to bed, and now you couldn't help but wonder if it was hard for Tyler to be away from him now, not just because he missed the two of you, but because you couldn't imagine being so far away from your baby.

"You ready to go home and have a nice bath?" you asked Bentley, sitting up a little more, and then you started laughing because you say a flash of white out of the corner of your eye as Gerry started hightailing it out of the room. "No, Gerry, I'm not going to give you a bath!"

Tyler's giggling immediately started coming through the phone, growing louder as he seemed to realize what had happened. "Did he run away?"

You nodded, trying to listen to Gerry's footsteps to figure out where he was. "I think he's hiding in your room."

Tyler laughed again, and you smiled, looking over your shoulder. "I need to go give him hug," you said, thinking about how Gerry probably had his tail tucked between your legs, and also how you could just easily sit here talking to Tyler about nothing over Facetime all night, but you wanted to ensure that he got to spend some quality time with his dad,too, that it just wasn't all about him and you. "You want to say 'bye'?" You asked Bentley, your hand curling around his and moving it like he was waving, and you smiled when Tyler's dad opened and closed his hand slowly in front of the screen.

"You be a good boy," Tyler said, sweetly, in his baby voice.

"Bye, Y/N," Paul.

"Bye," you said, "You guys have fun tomorrow."

"I'll talk to you tomorrow," Tyler said, and then he paused,like he just realized what he said, tucking his hair behind his ear, and sitting back. "Actually, not gonna lie, I'm definitely gonna talk to you again tonight."

You laughed, as Paul said, "Well, make sure you actually let her get some sleep."

"Yeah, yeah," tyler said, waving him off, and even through his sunglasses, and the camera lens and your phone screen, and the 1, 500 miles between you, you could see the way he was looking at you . "Bye."

"Bye," you echoed, neither one of you moving to disconnect the call. "I love you."

"I love you."

Even though Tyler's day was busy and Bentley was having a day where he wanted nothing other than being held, it still feel like Tyler was right there with you, constantly texting you pictures from his time at the event, or selfies from him golfing with his dad, while you sent back the what you thought were the cutest pictures of Bentley, and the dogs. Tyler had also sent you a few different places he'd wanted you to look at for your trip together,and you couldn't help but dream of just getting away, and just having that time were the only thing on your agenda waa to relax,and spend time together, and make memories.

And even though it felt like he'd been right in your pocket the whole day, you were still excited when he texted you to tell you that he was home, and that you could call him when you wanted to, you hit the button to do so, not even worrying that it had been memermemere seconds since he'd texted you.

"Hey," Tyler answered, and you could hear the smile in his voice. "What's up?"

"Just watching T.V.," you said, realizing that you hadn't even turned the sound down on the T.V., leaning over Marshall where he was curled up next to you on the couch to grab the remote. "How was your day?"

"Pretty awesome," Tyler said, "I can't see you though."

"What do you mean you can't see me?" you laughed.

"You didn't send me any pictures of you," Tyler said, "And I sent you pictures of me."

"I sent you back pictures," you protested.

"Yeah, but I only got baby and dog pictures, none of you," Tyler said, "My dad went to bed in case your boobs are out and that's why youdidnt want to facetime me."

"My boobs are not out, thank you very much."

"Well, they were earlier," he said, laughing, and then you felt your phone vibrating, letting you know he was trying to facetime you. So you clicked "Accept", watching as his face came into view, the corners of his lips tilted up in a smile when he saw you. "That's better."

And then neither of you said anything for a moment, Tyler stopping in where he was just walking up the stairs, and you just looked at each other for a moment, like you needed to just see each other for a minute.

"Hi," you said finally, softly, smiling.

"Hi," Tyler repeated, and he started walking again, moving towards his bedroom.

"So your day was good?" you asked again.

"Yeah, it was awesome," Tyler said, flicking the switch to turn the lights on in the bedroom. "My golf game sucked, but whatever."

"How about your hockey game?" You asked,smiling just thinking about the way he had been grinning, his eyes lit up, and the kids he had been skating with clearly believing it was the best day of their lives.

"Average," Tyler said, laughing, "Some of those kids had wheels, and they were all ganging up on me."

He was pouting a little like he was trying to garner sympathy, but you could tell by the smirk on his face and the laugh lines around his eyes that he'd had a blast.

"That picture you sent me was super cute," you said.

"With the kids?" Tyler laughed,and you nodded, "Yeah, they were psyched when I suggested we take a selfie."

"Yeah, I could tell, they looked like they were having so much fun, with all their smiles."

"Yeah, well, I told them I was gonna send the picture to my girlfriend so they better smile big so she thinks I'm Cool."

You felt everything freeze for just a moment, flashing like it might in a dream, your body going warm, and the cold. "Wha-?" You breathed, and then you found your words. "I'm your girlfriend?"

Tyler's eyes widened, and then he laughed, looking at you like you were a little crazy. "Yeah, I thought we talked about that."

"Yeah, well,, obviously," you said, "I just never heard you call me your girlfriend before "

"Well, yeah, you're my girlfriend," Tyler said, grinning wide, "What, you don't call me your boyfriend?"

You contemplated that for a moment, and while he was, of course, the term almost seemed juvenile, like it wasn't quite enough.

You were raising a child together, really.

"I mean, yeah," you said, "I guess I just think of you more like my partner."

"Your partner?" Tyler asked.

"Yeah, is that weird?"

"No, you can call me whatever you want," Tyler said, "Your boyfriend, your partner, your lover, your idiot. It all works."

"I would not call you my idiot," you laughed.

"But i am your idiot" Tyler said, "And, really, all that matters is that we're together."

"Yeah," you said,smiling softly.

"Best friend, too," Tyler said, "That's the most important one."

"Well, always," you said, and then Tyler broke into a big grin.

'"I'm telling Danielle you said that."

"Oh my god, you are so competitive," you laughed.

"Well, yeah," Tyler said easily, taking his hat of his head and tossing it into the chair in the corner of his room, locks of his hair falling haphazardly in his face, kinked and curly like he'd washed it then through it under his hat before it dried.

"I love your hair like that."

"Messy?" Tyler asked, an eyebrow raised as he ran his hand through his hair, but it only just returned to the previous position it was in.

"It looks like it does when you wake up in morning."

"That's, like, really weird but also really cute."

"I know," you smiled, and then you did that weird thing again where you were just looking at each other, like you hadn't had enough time just face to face, watching Tyler's eyes moving throughout the background.

"Where's Bentley?"

"He's sleeping," you said, your eyes flicking over to the monitor, a soft smile coming to your face when you saw his peaceful form.

"In his room?"

"Mhmm," you confirmed, expecting him to ask how he'd slept that day, or how he was doing, but instead he asked softly and hopefully, "Can I see him?"

"Yeah," you smiled, turning the camera around as you padded barefoot towards Bentley's room, opening the door quietly, engulfed by the sound of waves from his noise machine, the light from the hallway illuminating a beacon of light across the room, and Cash opened one eye from where he was laying stretched out with his back against Bentley's crib, looking at you but not raising his head. He looked at you a little cautiously as you stepped closer, leaning over the sidsidue of the bed to see Bentley swaddled up in his blanket, his eyes shut comfortably like he didn't have a worry in the world, his chubby cheeks front anand centre.

"Hi, baby," you whispered, pulling his pacifier away from where he'd spit it out, moving the phone so Tyler could see Bentley's lips sucking a couple of times, making little noises until he settled, pressing them together. You stood there for a moment, watching him sleep, your toes pressed into the warmth of Cash's fur before you bent down, petting him behind the ears and placing a kiss on his forehead and then you crept out of the room, shutting the door quietly behind you, and then looking back at Tyler on the phone.

"I meant you could show me on the baby monitor, but that was better."

"Oh," you laughed.

"Well, I didn't want to wake him up."

"Oh, he's really tired, he didn't sleep very well today, I don't think he's gonna wake up."

"Well, not until you said that."

"Yeah," you laughed.

"Is Cash sleeping with him?"

"Yeah, he wanted to," you smiled, "and Marshall just wanted to be with me, and I didn't want Gerry to go in there because he was too hyper."

Tyler giggled, "He probably just wanted your attention."

"Probably," you agreed.

"He's like his dad like that, once the baby goes to bed, he just wants all of your love."

"Yeah, well, he gets attention all day long, he demands it," you said, because he was the one dog willing to push past his brothers to get to you or Tyler while Marshall and Cash were more likely to wait their turn.

"Yeah, just like his dad," Tyler said, grinning, and you laughed a little, going back into your living room, only to find that Gerry had now taken your place on the couch next to Marshall, and both dogs were snoring, not even in unison, which meant there was about a split second of quiet. Smirking, you grabbed the baby monitor from where you left it, heading towards your bedroom, shutting the door behind you and collapsing onto the bed like you were talking to a boy when you weren't supposed to be, where you needed to lie down because you were going to be on the phone with him until you couldn't possibly stay away any longer.

You stretched across your half made bed, setting the baby monitor on your nightstand, turning back to see Tyler smirking at you. "Oh, we're getting in bed and cuddling now, are we?"

"You know you're in Dallas, right?"

"Mhm," Tyler said, picking up a pillow from his bed and hugging it to his face. "I'm gonna pretend this is you."

"Oh, thanks," you laughed, grabbing what was normally Tyler's pillow now and moving it to the middle of your bed so you could lean your phone up against it, laying on your side and propping your head up in your hand.

"Didn't you feel like the bed was really empty last night?"

"Well, I had like 300 pounds of dog in bed with me, so no," you said, "I did miss you though."

"Oh, yeah, so i can have a little sliver of bed when I get home?"

"Yep," you laughed, "Stretch our legs out while you can."

"We need a bigger bed," Tyler said, setting the phone down on his bed and then proceeding to pull his shirt over his head, and then you were 90% sure he took his pants off. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I don't know," you laughed. Maybe it was because you still weren't quite used to him just undressing in front of you. "Am I not allowed to just look at you?"

"Oh, you can look at me all you want," Tyler grinned cockily, sitting back on the bed now and placing his hand behind his head, like he was putting himself on display for you.

"Oh my god," you said, and he snickered. "Hey, you were the one who said you wanted to see me."

"I know," Tyler said, smiling back and you, and you felt everything go still and quiet, realizing that you were just busy so often that you didn't get a lot of time, just him and you, where you could actually look into his eyes, without being distracted by his presence or his touch, or his words. You looked at him, really looked at him, like you hadn't just seen him a couple of days ago, and wanted to memorize everything about him so you could see him still, even when you shut your eyes. And Tyler just seemed to get it, only smiled back softly at you, like neither of you really needed to speak, your eyes moving from the deep brown pools of his eyes, to checking for any darkness underneath them to signal he hadn't been getting enough rest, to the softness of his lips, the solidness of his shoulders, the ink blending into his skin, a part of him, and..

"Did your tattoo change?" You asked, leaning forward towards the screen, like he was right there.

Tyler frowned, laughing, "Did my tattoo change?" He repeated, like he was trying to comprehend how you could even ask such a question.

"You know what I mean," you laughed, looking at the geometric lines on his shoulder, and the script that was between the first two triangles now, trying to make out what it was. "You got something added."

"Yeah, I did," Tyler said, his voice soft. "Awhile ago."

"Well, what is it?" you asked. Even though Tyler could be an impulsive person in so many other areas of his life, when it came to tattoos, he wasn't. Other than his Stanley Cup tattoo, which was obviously something that called for being done in the moment, usually he had ideas that that he'd be talking about for awhile, so much that you could pretty much picture them before they even appeared on his skin. Other than the tattoo he'd gotten for Bentley, you'd always been expecting it when he had a new addition to his body. Tyler smiled at you, moving the camera closer so you could see, your lips moving at you made out the delicate 100% nestled between the two triangles closest to the centre of his body, feeling a dash through your own heart, thinking that that couldn't possibly ever be why, but you couldn't help but think of all those moments that he'd checked with you to make sure you both were 100% in: when you'd decided that you were going to try and have a baby together, however that was going to look like, when you'd discussed how you were going to tell your friends, and your family, when you were getting ready to push your son out of your body with him by your side, when you were so damn in love with him it hurt, and you'd promised each other that you were going to be okay, that you'd always be friends, that you'd always be there for each other.

"It's for you," Tyler said, focusing the phone back on his face. "It says 100%."

"Really?" you asked, like you still couldn't believe it.

"Yeah," Tyler nodded, sweeping his hand through his hair and then looking away, like he was collecting his thoughts. "I guess it just reminds me that you're there, and that I just...always want to give you everything and be all in with you. It's just, what we said before all our big decisions, you know."

Like he even needed to explain it to you.

"Tyler," you said.

"I know, it's kinda...,," Tyler shrugged, running his hand over the back of his neck. "I don't know, it's important to me."

"I love it," you said genuinely.

"Yeah?" Tyler asked.

"Yeah, it's perfect," you said. "When did you even get it?"

"When I got this," Tyler grinned, sweeping his hand across Bentley's name and birth date where it was inked across his torso.

"Before we were together?"

"Yeah," Tyler said, "It doesn't matter that we're together. Well, it matters, obviously, but I didn't get it because I wanted to date you. I got it because I'm just always gonna be there for you and I'm always gonna love you and care about you. No matter if we got to be together or not. It's on your necklace, too."

"What?"

"It's on your necklace," Tyler repeated, "I got it engraved. On the inside."

"No, you did not," you said, running your hand along the chain of the necklace he'd gotten you for mother's day, pulling it away from your body. And, sure enough, you felt the scroll of the matching 100% inside."What? Why are you like this?"

"Like what?" Tyler laughed.

"Just so..thoughtful and sweet. Like who things of these things?"

"Me?" Tyler guessed, and you gave him a look, because you were still just in shock about the whole thing, running your finger over Bentley's name and then what Tyler had added for just the two of you.

"I don't know, I guess you just bring it out in me," Tyler shrugged. "Don't tell anybody though."

"I'm pretty sure everyone already knows how sweet you are."

"Shh.." Tyler said, "It's our secret."

"Yeah, okay," you repliedstill stistiledplrelin a state ofdisbelief, looking at him, andthen thtattootattoatthe likr buth them mightdisappear.

"You actually didn't notice it?"

"No," you said, shaking your head and Tyler laughed.

"Do you pay no attention to my body?" Tyler asked in mock offense.

"Like, I mean...I don't know, i didn't see it."

"We've had sex, like you've seen be naked so many times," Tyler said. "Or just without a shirt."

"Well, I wasn't looking at your shoulder."

"No? What were you looking at then?" Tyler quipped, a mischievous grin on his face.

"Oh my god," you mumbled. "Your eyes. I was looking at your eyes."

"Is that what you're calling it?" he grinned.

"Tyler," you said firmly, and he giggled. "In my defense, it's small."

"It's small?" he laughed, "Why would you say that?"

"The tattoo," you said, laughing and rolling your eyes. "I meant the tattoo is small."

"Yeah, well," Tyler said, moving his hand over it again and smiling. "The size is not indicative of my love."

"I love it though, like its hidden and like even if people see it, they're not gonna know what means."

"Yeah, I didn't know where to put it, so I just decided this shoulder is gonna be for my ladies," Tyler said, looking at your face and then grinning. "Did I say something cute again?"

"Yes," you said, even though you were pretty sure you knew that he had, but he just, took your breath away again. "I love you."

"I love you," he said, and then you were both quiet for a moment. "So what should we talk about?"

You shrugged because you could just happy just sitting there and listen to him talk about nothing.

"Did you guys do anything today?" Tyler asked, and you shook your head.

"No, we just hung out, Bentley was hav8ing a rough day."

"What, how come?" Tyler asked.

"I don't know, he was fine, he just wanted to be held all day and have attention then he was happy," you said.

"So it was the perfect day?" Tyler grinned, and you gave him a sheepish look.

"I mean I didn't mind it, but couldn't l couldn't really get anything done."

"So?" Tyler asked, "You said your priority right now is to take care of him, and if he needs cuddles from his mom, than he needs cuddles from his mom. And I'm not there, so he can have all your attention."

"Yeah," you laughed, "I just need to do some laundry for him. And for me. I have, like, no clothes left."

"Well, that's fine, you don't have to wear clothes," Tyler said.

"Tyler," you laughed, realizing that you shouldn't have said that, that you'd have to get even more careful with your words now, now that it was socially acceptable to him to make comments towards you like that.

Although.

Maybe you kind of loved it.

"Okay," you said, rolling onto your back, and looking at Bentley sleeping in the baby monitor, remembering how you didn't even want to put him down in his crib, you wanted him with you all the time, especially when it was just you, but knew that he needed a couple of good hours of sleep before you went to bed and he came into your room to sleep next to you in his bassinet and you got to listen to all the little noises he makes in his sleep. "But I do really need to do some laundry to take care of him."

"And I'm sure you will tomorrow," Tyler said, "And I'll be home tomorrow night so you'll have help again."

"I know," you smiled, "We miss you."

He'd been there so much lately, that it really was a bit of a shock to do it on your own again. Not just because Tyler helped, even though he did, of course, but more just so because he was supportive of you, and you loved being able to share this with him.

"I miss you guys, too," Tyler said, "But you just hug and hold that baby as much as you want, you went through a lot to get him here, you should enjoy him."

"So did you," you said sincerely.

"Yeah, well, I'm just happy I get to be a part of it," Tyler said.

"Me too," you said, falling silent again. "What else did you do today?"

"I already told you about my day," Tyler laughed.

"Well, tell me more," you said, and Tyler sighed, like he didn't want to go through everything again, but there was a hint of a smile on his face.

"Are you gonna fall asleep like you did last time I tried to tell you about my day?"

"No," you said, and Tyler gave you a serious look. "I was pregnant then, and I had coffee way too late today, I'm not gonna be falling asleep any time soon."

"Well, I went to the Texas hockey day, hung out and did some drills with some kids, then Dad and I went golfing and then we grabbed dinner and now I'm here," Tyler said, "Actually, there was this one hole, it was like a par 5, 578 yards, so --"

"I'm gonna fall asleep," you said, and Tyler gave you a dirty look and you smiled. "What did you have for breakfast?" "What did I have for breakfast?" Tyler repeated and you nodded. "Umm..Dad and I grabbed brunch with Jamie after the hockey thing, and I had an omelette." "Did you guys do anything in the morning before you went?" "No, I just had a shower, did you want me to tell you about that, too?" Tyler asked. "Actually, I had an awesome dream about you this morning. And by dream I mean a great memory."

"About what?"

"Well, I was thinking about when we had a bath together," Tyler said, looking towards the bathroom like he was remembering it now. "And what happened after."

"What happened after?" you teased, and Tyler scowled at you.

"As if you don't remember," Tyler said, his voice sounded far away. "That was a damn good trip."

"Yeah, it was," you agreed, both you and Tyler inhaling at and exhaling at the same time.

"Not gonna lie, it made it really hard to shower this morning thinking about you bent over the counter like that."

You were pretty sure that with all the freaking changes your body and your life wawas going through, you weren't supposed to want sex as much as you did, and you almost had to hold yourself back from moaning to keep from being embarrassed.

You looked at Tyler, laughing under your breath when you saw the tops of his cheeks tinted pink.

"Why is that funny?" Tyler asked.

"It's not funny," you said, shaking your head. "You're blushing."

"Am I?" Tyler asked, "It's kinda hot in here."

"Don't you have AC?" you asked, and Tyler blinked, running his hand over his face.

"I have a lot of thoughts running through my head, leave me alone," Tyler laughed.

"Like what kind of thoughts?" you asked, trying to make your voice coy and innocent, but you were probably failing. Still, though, it was fun to see his cheeks grow even hotter.

"Babe.."

"Why won't you just tell me, don't you want me to know?" you said easily, Tyler's playful eyes matching yours.

"I think you already know," he said.

"Yeah, but I want you to say it."

"Uhhh..." Tyler got out, laughing before he even got out what he wanted to say. "Let's just say there was some touching."

And not it was your turn to turn red, picturing him in the shower, beads of water falling across his body, warmth rising to his face and to his chest, his hand gripped firmly around himself, his head tipped back, his eyes shut.

"Oh, like you've never thought of me," Tyler said, as if he thought your silence was due to shock rather than escaping into your own fantasy.

So lost, in fact that you brain could barely even register his question.

"So you have thought about me," Tyler grinned, leaning towards the phone like he wanted to hear more. "When was this?"

"Umm..." you thought. "October?"

"October?!" Tyler said, so loudly that you were briefly worried about the baby waking up until you remembered he was in his own room, Tyer grinning at you with his eyebrows raised. "That was like way, way before we got together."

"Yeah, but we had had sex then."

"Not in October we didn't, you were pregnant then," Tyler said, "and that was when you still felt sick, not when you wanted sex."

"No, I did want sex," you said, "And I was fine until you hugged me, and kissed me on the cheek and it was.." You were moving your hands about now, feeling frustrated about it even now.

"Is that why you were so uptight?"

"Yes."

"Well, you should have just said something," Tyler said, "I told you I would have given you sex."

"You weren't even here," you said.

"Yeah, but I could have.." Tyler said, "I don't know, you could have called me, I could have helped you out."

"What? Call you so we could have phone sex?"

"Yeah..."

"I wasn't going to do that," you said. It seemed silly now, though, almost immature to think you couldn't have done that because he hadn't been yours, not when he was so obviously had been, and your body had known it, but it turn your brain awhile to catch up, to let you feel it.

"Well, why not?" Tyler laughed, like he would have just asked you if he'd been in the same situation, even though you knew he'd told you that he'd purposefully tried to cut the sex out of your relationship, not wanting to be in that weird in-between place either.

Maybe your boundaries had been blurred for longer than you'd realized.

"Because you were my friend," you said.

"But it's different now," Tyler said, not like a question, like he knew what you were thinking.

"Yeah, it's different now," you said, the room feeling strangely quiet, the air thick, and you swore you could feel him breathing.

"So would you now?" he asked.

"What?" you said, not because you didn't understand or because you didn't hear him, but just everything could be so intense with Tyler that it took your brain a moment to catch up.

"Would you call me now if you wanted me and I wasn't there?" he asked, his voice deeper this time, like the arousal was taking over his body already.

You couldn't deny though that your legs were pressed together, half restless, thinking about about the feeling of him inside you.

"I want you," Tyler said, and you became more aware of your body against the mattress of your bed, your bare legs pressed together. It had gotten just warm enough that you knew you'd be living in nothing but dresses for the next few months, and you wanted nothing more than to feel the warmth of Tyler's skin against yours, with nothing between you.

"I want you, too," you said, looking at him on the phone and then around the room, "I..."

"You what?" Tyler laughed, and you were aware of how little he was wearing, his body language looking relaxed like it so often did, but the tint on his skin gave him away.

"I don't know, I've never done this before," you said, laughing nervously.

"But you said you've touched yourself," Tyler said, his eyes narrowing, his voice lowering to a whisper. "I've seen inside your nightstand."

"No, no," you said, "I meant I haven't with anyone watching before."

"Oh," Tyler said. "Me neither."

"Really?" you asked.

"Nope," Tyler said, shaking his head, "Out of the two of us, I thought maybe you might have."

"No," you said, taking a breath, and you were thankful that he didn't say anything about your ex-boyfriends or his lack of girlfriends, because you didn't want to think about anyone but him right now, trying to ignore the thought in the back of your mind that you weren't going to get to have him in your bed every night."

"So..." Tyler said, shifting on the bed.

"So," you repeated, your hand resting against your thigh like you didn't know if it should venture up or not yet, rubbing back and forth slowly like you were trying to calm yourself down and then your eyes widened in horror. "Your dad's there."

"What?" Tyler barked out a surprised laugh and you shook your head.

"I don't want him to hear," you said, half-panicked.

"Oh, no, he won't," Tyler said, relaxed now, "He's downstairs on the other side of the house, it's fine."

"But isn't that weird?" you said, your hand moving back and forth.

"He's not in here," Tyler scoffed at you, shaking his head with a laugh.

"Yeah, but.."

"He was in the house earlier, like I lived in the same house with him for 18 years, it's fine," Tyler said, scowling, "You know, I'd really like to not be talking about him right now."

"Sorry.." you said, shifting on the bed again, and trying to relax. "Did you lock your door?"

"I don't -" Tyler started, and then he seemed to understand what you were saying. "He's not going to come in here."

"But could you just lock it...?"

Tyler huffed out a breath of air. "If I lock it are you going to relax?"

"Yes," you said, because then you wouldn't be thinking about just how much you would die, and Tyler shifted on the bed, getting up and giving you a nice view of his ass through his boxer briefs, you now realizing how very little he'd been wearing. You heard the lock on the door click loudly like he wanted to make sure that you heard, and then you felt your heart beat faster knowing that he was coming back, easing himself back onto the bed, and smiling at you, you smiling shyly back at him. And though you did feel like of nervous, you felt excited too.

"How do we even...?" you asked, laughing because you felt like the hard part would just be getting started, like it was when you'd first started sleeping together, when you'd made your way through all of that awkwardness together, and it felt comfortable even then because it was the two of you.

Tyler's eyes looked away like he was thinking, and then back at you, running his hand through his hair like he was a little shy. "Umm...you could tell me what you were thinking about before since i told l told you what I was thinking about?"

You couldn't help the smile from creeping onto your face when you thought about it, running your hand over your face. "I was thinking about you going down on me."

"I hadn't yet," Tyler said, grinning devilishly.

"No, you hadn't," you said, "I was just imagining it, I don't know, its just what came in my head, and your lips..."

"Well, if I had known you wanted me to go down on you, I would have much sooner, trust me," Tyler said, his tongue flicking out across his lips like he could still taste you. "It might be my favourite thing."

"Yeah?" you asked, sounded needier than you intended, but you could feel the brush of his lips against your soft skin, getting closer and closer to the destination.

"Mmmyeah," Tyler said, "Like the way you moan, and squirm...it's like, such a turn-on knowing I'm the one making you feel that way."

The way he was looking at you as if the screen wasn't there, his bedroom eyes easing into yours made your body grow even needier, your hand trailing up your thigh and up under your panties, your finger brushing between your lips, your body stuttering with breath.

"Are you touching yourself?" Tyler asked, his voice coming out rather breathy, and you weren't sure now if you had jumped ahead or water, but you nodded, and he breathed in and out, asking a little tentatively. "Can I see?"

Your lips turned up, because you weren't going to deny that it wasn't a turn-on that he still seemed so keen to want to see you naked in a sexual way, like it was the first time all over again, like he couldn't just close his eyes and picture you naked. You stood up slowly, turning your phone so he could see you because you felt like he'd appreciate seeing you undressing. And you were glad you had the wherewithal to think to pull your panties away from your body without removing your dress, letting them slide down your legs, hearing Tyler's sharp intake of breath as you reached down to pull them off, tossing them towards your hamper.

"That is not fair," Tyler said, but you grinned at him, wanting it to last just a minute longer.

"Did you want me to leave them on?" you asked.

"No," Tyler said, "Continue."

You laughed, pulling your dress up over your head, feeling thankful that you had on a bra that was at least relatively cute.

"Babe," you heard Tyler say, muffled through the fabric. "Babe, babe."

You let your dress fall because his voice sounded like he was actually trying to tell you something, giggling when you saw the phone had fallen face down onto your bed, and you righted it. "Sorry."

"You're still dressed," Tyler said, like he was disappointed, and you laughed. This time, though, you rethought the whole not being able to see him thing, sliding the straps off your shoulders, letting your dress fall at your feet, Tyler running his hand over his face. "Bra too?" He asked, and you laughed under your breath shaking your head, but you reached behind your back, undoing the clasp and letting the garment fall away from your body, leaving you bare before him.

"Fuck," Tyler breathed out, his eyes unabashedly running up and down your body, as you felt a flush take over your entire body. "I am so lucky."

"I am so lucky," you stressed, looking at the firmness of his body and his soft smile, crawling back on the bed gently this time, with one hand steadying your phone in its perch against the pillow, the other instinctively going to cradle your bare breasts you shifted down.

"Don't do that," Tyler whispered with a seeth of pain.

"Don't do what?" You asked, shifting onto your back but keeping one hand on your phone.

"Touch yourself."

You raised one brow, laughing. "Isn't that the whole point of this?"

"Well, yeah," Tyler laughed, "This is just harder than I thought it would be to not be able to touch you."

"I know, but it's good until we're together, right?" You Asked, because you were aching to be touched now, whether it was by him or yourself.

"Hell yeah," he agreed hotly, his breaths coming shortly now. "Touch your tits for me, baby?"

You laughed under your breath at his enthusiasm, running your hands over the side of your breasts. And even though that wasn't an area of your body that wawas doing it a ton for you right now, you were really enjoying the way Tyler's deep eyes were watching you intently, your legs pressed together, your one hand trailing down, because you couldn't wait any longer, and you didn't know how he was just propped up, relaxed against his pillows. Then again,he had gotten off this morning. And Maybe the before. Yeah, you couldn't wait. "...can I?"

"Yeah," Tyler said,laughing a little. "You don't have to ask."

"Well, I don't.." you said, your fingers moving between your legs again, because you didn't really know what he wanted. You'd never really ever talked about your turn-ons, or--

"I just want to watch you make yourself feel good," he said, your fingers brushing against your clit for just second and then trailing down to collect some of you wetness rubbing slow circles on your clit, a small noise escaping your mouth as your body relaxed under your touch, and you could see Tyler swallow heavily.

"Are you wet?" He asked, and you nodded, your fingers running over yourself. "God, I wish I was there to feel. Or taste."

"Me too," you said, continuing to rub slow circles on your clit, not racing for the finish line yet, just wanting to draw out the pressure on your sensitive nerves, looking at Tyler's face and wishing you could just grab it and pull it to yours, a mix of lips and teeth and tongue. "I miss your lips."

"I miss your lips," he echoed, his lips plump, running his hand through his hair like you imagined he wanted to do with yours, how he'd grasp it to hold you to him. "You know when you had that dream when I was home in November? And you were moaning in our sleep?"

"Mhmm.."

"Were you thinking about me eating you out?" Tyler asked,his voice breathy. It took you awhile to think back, your eyes looking upwards as you struggled to remember because that whole night had just been a lot.

"No," you said, your cheeks heating up even more, and Tyler grinned cheekily, inching closer to the phone.

"What were you thinking about then?"

"Umm..." you said, swallowing, trying to put words together as you circled your clit, feeling Tyler all around you still. "We were at your house."

"Yeah," Tyler said, breathlessly, like he was touching himself, even though you could still clearly see both of his hands.

"Outside," you clarified, "I was...I was fucking you. We were by the fire, and.."

"I had your dress pushed up?"

"Yeah," you said.

"We...uh... definitely need to recreate that," he said, and you thought it was funny, how his voice was so quiet but you could still here him, even over the sound of your blood flowing through your ears. Your eyes must have fluttered shut at some point because when you opened them, you could see the muscles in his arms tensing, his eyes struggling to stay open.

"Are you hard?"

"Like since I saw you," he said with a self-deprecating laugh, your eyes still watching his arm, imagining what was going on below the screen. You'd barely gotten out the words "Can I.." before Tyler whispered a "yeah," and then you almost could have laughed as he tried to shimmy his boxers off with his legs, had it not been for his cock, laying thing and hard against his abdomen, his legs parted. He took his thumb, rubbing the peal of precum across the head of his cock, grasping himself in his fist, giving himself several slow, deep pumps, his cock bobbing with the movement.

"Tyler," you said with need.

"Yeah, babe?"

"I want you inside me," you said.

"Fuck, baby, I want to be inside you," Tyler said, "So hard and deep."

You couldn't even do anything but moan, and you realized you weren't really given him much, but you couldn't help it, not realizing how much your body had missed his until now.

"Use your fingers," he said, like he could see what your body was searching even from there, and you tilted your palm, slipping two fingers inside, curving upwards, your back arching off the bed even at that your fingers clenching hard around yourself.

"Fuck," you heard Tyler mumble, and you looked to see he'd moved the phone beside him so you could see his total form, stroking his cock steadily now, and you grabbed yours, propping it up against the collection of blankets at your side, keeping your fingers steady inside yourself, stroking your g-spot until your phone was steady, running your hand over your breasts and then back between your legs, your fingers pressing hard against your clit now. And you were kind of glad when Tyler grew quiet like you were, because you still didn't have words, just watching each other. You were fucking your fingers hard into yourself, hips meeting your fingers, but it wasn't as deep or full enough as it was with him. and you looked at Tyler, already seeing his shoulders moving, breathing like he was close already, looking blissfully and drowsily towards your vision on the screen. And you watched him, waiting until his eyes seemed to blink shut, inching a little towards your nightstand.

"Alright?" Tyler asked, still stroking himself, like he seemed to noticed that you had slowed down, your eyes darting off and then back.

"I just..." you said, "I was just gonna get..."

Tyler's eyes widened like he seemed to understand, and he couldn't believe his luck. "Well, go for it."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah," Tyler said, waiting until you leaned up and over, searching for what you were looking for, pulling it into your hand and then laying back down on your bed, rubbing it between your pussy lips until it was slick. "Can I watch it go in?"

You didn't even have words at his reaction, grabbing your phone and moving it so he could see the view, which seemed downright obscene, but the way he was breathing heavily, almost with whimpers coming out of his mouth seemed worth it, slowly sliding it deep inside you, feeling the stretch and fullness, your walls fluttering contently. Tyler's mouth was half open when he looked back up at your eyes and nodded a little, like he was telling you could move your phone back now, so you did.

"Feel good?" he asked.

"Yeah," you let out, pressing it in, angling it against your g-spot, a cold heat coming over your breasts, looking at him with a bit of question.

"Yeah," Tyler said, "So fucking hot."

All you could hear was his breathing and yours, getting lost in your fantasy, because just knowing he was watching you was hot enough, driving the vibe into your g-spot, your fingers rubbing hard against your clit. It wasn't until Tyler let out a heady groan that your eyes open again, his head thrown back as you caught the end of his orgasm, his hand slowing down, and yet he locked eyes with you, his hand still moving slowly against his softening cock, like he couldn't watch you and not touch himself.

"C'mon, baby," Tyler said, "fuck yourself for me."

You let your eyes squeeze shut again, your hands moving double time, Tyler's words of how much he couldn't wait to fuck you, at how gorgeous you look flow through your ears and straight through your body and deep into your core.

"Don't hold back," Tyler said, when your legs started to shake, and even you were surprised at the moan that came out of your mouth as you released, Tyler's moan in reaction drawing it out even further and encouraging your to fuck yourself through it, twitching once more before your released, your muscles dropping back on the bed and you struggled for breath, not even caring about how wrecked you look, enjoying the afterglow and trying to collect yourself so you could look or talk to Tyler.

When you finally did, he looked like you imagined you did, hair curling in front of his face, like he didn't even have the energy to pull it away, giving you a sleepy smile. For some reason you starting giggling with the little breath you still had, completely drunk with happiness.

"So that was awesome," Tyler said.

"Yeah," you echoed, rolling onto your side and wishing nothing more than him being there, half draped over you like he would post-orgasm.

"We should... definitely do that more often."

"Or you could just come home tomorrow," you said.

"Or I could just come home tomorrow," he agreed.

Ten best food shows on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+ Hotstar

New Post has been published on https://apzweb.com/ten-best-food-shows-on-netflix-amazon-prime-disney-hotstar/

Ten best food shows on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+ Hotstar

Let me say it straight away— I am not a big fan of food shows. Cruelly aspirational, my kitchen looks nothing like the fancy ones on the show, and even if I were to follow the simplest of recipes, where the chef du jour is just throwing things together to create a fabulous dish, it would unfailingly turn into an unpalatable mess.

Being vegetarian by choice, I find it difficult to watch all that meat. But duty calls and as I dived headlong into the world of food shows on streaming platforms, I discovered the meditative calm of sushi, the anthropological evidence for Prometheus, the heart-breaking beauty of Havana, the unfailingly-disturbing Lord of the Flies and the joy of desserts. One of my favourite Bob Dylan lines suddenly popping up in the middle of a show was an added bonus. So here, in no particular order, are 10 shows you could check out to learn about the emotions, history and techniques of food.

MasterChef Australia

Disney+Hotstar, Seasons: 12, Episodes: 768, Runtime: 30-120 minutes

With new judges, restaurateur and chef Jock Zonfrillo, food writer Melissa Leong and season four winner Andy Allen replacing Gary Mehigan, George Calombaris and Matt Preston, Season 12 of the cooking reality show is different yet with the same amounts of drama and intrigue. The mystery boxes, pressure tests, and immunity challenges do not fail to thrill as contestants create works of art from duck’s oesophagus, (really) chocolate, parsnip, parsley, fennel coconut, chilli, mango, lemon chicken and potatoes.

A mild Gordon Ramsay and Katy Perry are celebrity judges while the contestants are winners from previous seasons. If reality shows are your thing, you cannot go wrong with this veteran based on a British show from the 90s where amateurs and home cooks competed for the ultimate cooking prize. Season 12, which started to air on April 13, is into week 5 which is the Twists Week.

Jiro Dreams of Sushi

Netflix, 81 minutes

When the hurlyburly’s done, when the battle’s lost and won, (cooking and restaurants always remind me of Macbeth), it is time to move to sushi. David Gelb’s documentary about an 85-year-old sushi master, Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011) is beautifully calm. While the movie is all about the perfect cut, the freshest seafood, massaging the octopus for 45 minutes instead of 30, Jiro Dreams of Sushi also tells the story of fathers and sons.

Jiro Ono started working at the age of seven at a local restaurant. A formal portrait of young Jiro with his father holding his hand is all he has of his father, who seems to have lost his money and taken to drinking. Jiro says he did not go to his father’s funeral. Jiro’s elder son, Yoshikazu (50) who will eventually take over the restaurant, still works for his father. Jiro speaks of the kind of tough love he has dispensed to his sons (the younger son has opened his own sushi restaurant) to ensure they will be able to carry on. Even if you are not a fan of sushi, Jiro Dreams of Sushi, with its evocative music and dazzling photography is irresistible.

The Chef Show

Netflix, Seasons: 3, Episodes: 20, Runtime: 26-34 minutes

This is a delightful show for all nerds, geeks and comic-book fans. In 2014 Jon Favreau wrote, acted and directed Chef, a charming film about a successful chef who gives it all up to run a food truck. Roy Choi, the creator of the gourmet Korean-Mexican taco truck, Kogi, was consultant for the film and trained Favreau on all the ninja chef moves.

Incidentally, Favreau directed Iron Man, the movie that set the ball rolling for the gargantuan Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Chef Show which premiered on June 7, 2019 is a spin-off of the film and features Favreau and Choi experimenting with fun recipes (yes that grilled cheese is a star) and breaking bread with some of the biggest names in the entertainment business. It was fun watching them do a pepper pot for Gwyneth Paltrow (nudge, nudge) at Goop and have Tom Holland discuss his audition with Robert Downey Jr.

Ugly Delicious

Netflix, Seasons: 2, Episodes: 12, Runtime: 45-55 minutes

Chef David Chang uses popular food to dissect the concepts of travel, history, culture and the notion of authenticity. The first episode, which premiered on February 23, 2018 looks at pizza—from the uber traditional pizzas in Mark Iacono’s pizzeria, Lucali, in Brooklyn to a tuna mayonnaise one in Savoy in Tokyo and one from Dominos! There are also stops in Frank Pepe in Connecticut, Antillo’s pizzeria in Naples and Bæst in Copenhagen.

With a variety of guests, including food writer Peter Meehan, comic Aziz Ansari and TV show host Jimmy Kimmel, Ugly Delicious is an in-depth look at everyday food. Watching Chef Floyd Cardoz enjoying Awadhi cuisine in the episode on Indian food, which also featured Padma Laxmi, was particularly poignant as Chef Cardoz passed away on March 25, 2020 of COVID-19.

Salt Fat Acid Heat

Netflix, Seasons: 1, Episodes: 4, Runtime: 40–48 minutes

The four-part show, which premiered October 11, 2018, is based on Samin Nosrat’s bestselling cookbook, Salt Fat Acid Heat (2017). The show sees the chef, TV show host and food writer travel the world to investigate the four pillars of cooking namely salt, fat, acid and heat. She travels to Italy to explore fat and the concept of “noble meat,” Japan for salt, Mexico for acid and Chez Panisse (where she worked her way up from bussing tables to chef) for heat. Salt Fat Acid Heat is an interesting way of looking at food buttressed by a charming host and Instagram worthy locales.

Cooked

Netflix, Seasons: 1, Episodes: 4, Runtime: 50-58 minutes

Samin Nosrat is described as “the chef who taught Michael Pollan how to cook” and features in Cooked, Pollan’s four-part documentary based on his eponymous book. The documentary travels the globe to explore the different aspects of cooking, which serendipitously correspond with the four elements—earth, water, fire, and air. Pollan, a writer (The Botany of Desire, The Omnivore’s Dilemma) activist and professor looks at the socio-cultural impact of food on our lives.

In collaboration with Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney, Cooked travels with an aboriginal tribe to hunt goanna (a type of monitor lizard) and tries to bridge the gap between our “meat transactions which are hidden behind feed lots and abattoirs” and our plates. There is also singer-songwriter James Taylor singing a song to his pig, Mona.

Street Food Asia

Netflix, Seasons: 1, Episodes: 9, Runtime: 30-34 minutes

Released on April 26, 2019, Street Food Asia looks at street food in Bangkok, Osaka, Yogyakarta (Indonesia), Chiayi (Taiwan), Seoul, Singapore and Cebu (Philippines). Looking at the bustling Mangal Chat Wale, the delicious kebabs at Karim’s and batura at Nand di Hatti in the Delhi segment, one can only imagine the silence on the streets now with the lockdown and the number of livelihoods affected. Truoc’s Snail Stall in Ho Chi Minh was a revelation of the number and variety of edible snails.

Chef’s Table

Netflix, Seasons: 6, Episodes: 30, Runtime: 50 minutes

David Gelb, who also created Street Food Asia, considers Chef’s Table a spiritual successor to his Jiro Dreams of Sushi. The show which premiered on April 26, 2015, profiles professional chefs, their inspirations, dedication and determination to make it. Chefs from all over the world including Italy (Massimo Bottura), Argentina (Francis Mallmann), Sweden (Magnus Nilsson) Brazil (Alex Atala), South Korea (Jeong Kwan) and Russia (Vladimir Mukhin), are featured. Gaggan Anand and Asma Khan represent India though their restaurants are in Bangkok and London.

The episode featuring Christina Tosi, founder and owner of Milk Bar and creator of the infamous crack pie was a revelation into what drives these men and women to create delicious works of art. It also revealed the workings of a restaurant including the family meal, where the crack pie (a pie so good it is addictive) was born. Seeing David Chang (he hired Tosi and encouraged her to open the Milk Bar) gives that special joy of connections.

Eat the World with Emeril Lagasse

Amazon Prime, Seasons: 1, Episodes: 6, Runtime: 30 minutes

Emeril Lagasse, the star of cookery shows in the 90s and nougties, travels the world with other chefs discovering the cuisine of different places. The entertaining and informative show was first aired on September 2, 2016. Eat the World… sees Lagasse in Sweden exploring New Nordic with chef Marcus Samuelsson, searching for the Shanghai soup dumpling with Mario Batali, exploring modernist cuisine in Barcelona with chef José Andrés, Jeong Kwan’s vegan cuisine in South Korea and Franco Pepe’s pizza with Nancy Silverton in the Campania region of Italy. In colourful Havana, Emeril and Aarón Sánchez taste the freshest of vegetables from urban gardens in an Ajiaco stew, a fine roasted pig with a cigar instead of an apple in its mouth—it is Cuba after all – and dine at a paladar (restaurants run out of homes).

Kantaro: The Sweet Tooth Salaryman

Netflix, Seasons: 1, Episodes: 12, Runtime: 24 minutes

This is the perfect dessert to end a food show marathon. Based on the manga series, Saboriman Ametani Kantarou by Tensei Hagiwara, Kantaro: The Sweet Tooth Salaryman follows the adventures of Ametani Kantarou, (Onoe Matsuya) who quits his job as a programmer and joins a publishing house to indulge his sweet tooth. In the first episode, which aired on July 7, 2017, he zips through his sales calls to visit the Kanmidokoro Hatsune, a traditional sweet shop in Ningyōchō. There he samples anmitsu and is transported into dessert fantasy. His rhapsodies over the jelly, fruit, gyūhi and agony over choosing between white and black syrup are endearing.

Going by her social media posts, Sonam Kapoor is really homesick right now. The actor and her husband Anand Ahuja returned to Delhi from London and quarantined themselves at the latter’s Delhi house. Before they could come to Mumbai, the country went under a lock-down. Hence, plenty of pictures with family and friends on both Sonam and sister Rhea Kapoor’s Instagram handles!

Sonam shared this pretty, black and white picture of Rhea and her boyfriend Karan Boolani. “Miss these two @rheakapoor @karanboolani,” she wrote.

GST Council may go for 3 rate slabs; could make phones and air travel pricier - business news

The GST Council could reduce the four tax slabs that currently exist – 5%, 12%, 18%, and 28% – to three – 8%, 18%, and 28% – two government officials familiar with the matter said on condition of anonymity, adding that the move is aimed at increasing tax revenue by raising taxes on products and services used primarily by the well-heeled. The two officials added that the tax rate on branded cereals, mobile phones, pizzas, air travel, air-conditioned rail travel, cruises, high-end hospital rooms, paintings, branded garments, and fine fabrics such as linen and silk, may be increased to boost sagging Goods and Services Tax (GST) revenues.“Most of the above-mentioned items are not consumed by the common man, hence, tax rates of either 5% or 12% on these items are not justified. Some stakeholders have proposed raising tax rates on these items to either 8% or 18% to augment GST revenue,” one of the two persons added. The second person said that states have also proposed reducing “the number of slabs to three: 8%, 18% and 28%” in order to further simplify the GST regime. “Although some of them are in favour of having a 15% rate between 8% and 18% for the time being, most of the states would like to simplify the rate structure to a maximum of three.” The main purpose of the GST Council meeting, on December 18, is to work out a way to address falling revenues and also help the Centre pay compensation to the states on time. The urgency of an overhaul is felt after a sharp fall in GST collections, particularly after July this year. The fall in collection has resulted in a demand for compensation from several states as the GST regime promises a 14% annual growth in their revenues. Although the GST law provides for compensation cess on the highest tax slab (luxury items and sin goods) to meet the shortfall in states’ revenues, this has a limit, the first person said. “The cess collection last month was about ~7,720 crore. This can be raised to a maximum of ~10,000 crore a month, whereas the total requirement of compensation will be around ~21,000 crore a month from April 2020. Therefore, overhauling the rates and streamlining them in a logical manner is a must.” Hindustan Times reported on Sunday, quoting finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman, that the GST rate structure has become distorted due to a string of rate reductions after the new indirect tax was introduced two years ago.“I am not saying that people did it thoughtlessly, but in the enthusiasm to reduce taxes, that framework which was originally agreed at Stage One of GST was distorted,” Sitharaman said at the HT Leadership Summit, explaining that lowering the tax rate impacted the input tax credit and transferred more taxes to the buyer. The 38th meeting of the GST Council on December 18 is expected to be a stormy one as several states have not received compensation for the revenue shortfall since August. GST collections in August, September and October were below ~1 lakh crore and the collection in September fell to the lowest since February 2018, driven by the ongoing consumption slowdown. The revenue collection, however, bounced back over the ~1 lakh crore benchmark in November mainly because of a spending spurt during the festive season.At the HT Leadership Summit, Sitharaman added that the government wants to have in place a “streamlined” GST regime with three tax rate slabs. She also assured state governments that the Centre remained committed to compensating them for a shortfall in revenue from the indirect tax regime. Revenue secretary Ajay Bhushan Pandey told HT on December 1 that the GST Council, which is headed by the Union finance minister and is composed of state finance ministers, was aware of the fact that at some point in time, the merger of a few slabs would be required with a standard rate applying to most goods and services, a merit rate with items of mass consumption, and a demerit rate for luxury and so-called sin goods such as liquor and tobacco products.Abhishek Jain, tax partner, EY India, cautioned that rate rationalisation should be done carefully. “The GST rates mostly proposed at its inception were well analysed to ensure its alignment with the pre-GST effective tax rates to ensure no additional burden on customers. An increase in GST rates for products would need to be well analysed especially in light of the potential impact on customer demand and the current state of economic affairs,” he said.Commenting on the compensation cess, he said, “A significant reason for shortfall in cess collections or GST in the last few months is the general slowdown in the economy. Restriction on E-way Bill generation for non-compliant businesses and for credits on invoices pertaining to undisclosed supplies, have seemingly spurred revenue collections in the last month. With more of these tax evasion measures being implemented, GST revenue collections should soon be more stable.” He said that the implementation of tax evasion measures like the proposed e-invoicing and new return system should help better GST revenue collections. Mekhla Anand, partner, Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas, said, “Piecemeal tinkering has, however, resulted in more than five tax slabs. Consolidation of the tax slabs into three would definitely be in line with the initial objective of GST to ensure simplification/rationalisation of the tax structures and the reclassification of supplies into these slabs would be a necessary corollary.” Vishal Raheja, DGM, Taxmann, said that the government should ensure that essential items are kept at lowest rate and rates for other items are rationalised. “The rationalisation of rates can be done by implementing the three slab rate structures of 5%, 15% and 25%. The reduced GST rates has definitely brought down the GST collection, but the role of the weak economic growth cannot be ruled out.” Source link Read the full article

7 Ways to make you’re Dining Experience Healthier at Restaurants

Visiting the best restaurant means wreak down your strict diet! The tempting menu, soothing vibe, and crazy people add more calories to our diet. Restaurant foods add extra calories to our diet due to added sugar, oil, butter, and salt. The foods we eat in the restaurants are drenched with rich sauce and butter that avoid fitness freak people from visiting them. But here in the below section, we bring some best ways to stick to a healthy diet even if you are in the Best Italian Restaurant in Nadiad.

7 ways one should follow to stick to a strict diet

Check it before visiting: Before reaching out to any Restaurants Near Me Nadiad and Anand, go through their menu. The most restaurants offer online menu descriptions with the described added nutrition.

Make a proper plan: Eat light food during the day before going for lunch. Commit yourself to eating slowly if you want to avoid eating heavy. When you eat slowly, you receive greater satisfaction in lighter meals.

Please don’t share your food: Most of the time, we take huge amounts of the portion on our plates and share them with friends. To avoid food wastage, practice visualizing and replicating your restaurant meal. Balance the portion by taking food only from the healthier sections. You can choose lean protein foods, vegetables, low-fat dairy, fruits and whole grains.

Add to Your Meal: Instead of picking scrumptious and oily food, choose the healthy food items available there. You can look for pasta and whole grain foods at Best Burgers in Nadiad, Anand. Pick food items made with low-fat products like olive oil, nuts and seeds, and avocados. Add fruits, vegetables and lean meat.

Don’t be over hungry: Before heading out to the Best Cafes in Nadiad, eat a slice of fruit. Don’t reach the restaurant without taking any food. If you haven’t eaten before, you can start your lunch/dinner by ordering something light like salad or soup.

Check the ingredients: The way a restaurant defines its menu tells a lot about food preparation. It would be best if you focused on the wordings like "grilled," "steamed," "boiled", "fried," etc. This wording gives a basic definition of the ingredients added to a dish.

Ask to Customise: You can ask the Takeout Restaurant Nadiad staff to make your meal healthy. So many restaurants offer customization of dishes as per their customers.

Following the above steps, you can enjoy dining out in Lotus Bistro Lounge with your friends without cheating on your diet.

UK TRIP

Day 1 // 18th July 2019

- Landed at London Gatwick —> Switched two trains to get to Waterloo —> Walked down Webber Street to figure out exactly where it is - 130, Webber Street: My home for the next two weeks! - Went to the supermarket, got basic supplies, beers & a local SIM - Walk around Union Street, found a chill park - Chose to have dinner at Bala Baya, instead of Gordon Ramsay’s Union Street, because I don’t do mainstream stuff. LOL, kidding. I found Bala Baya’s menu & aesthetic more attractive. - Shopped for more supplies from TESCO at Southwark - Walked back home - Didn’t do much, just trying to get a hang of the city & people

Day 2 // 19th July 2019

- Train from Waterloo —> John Wood's - Starts raining as I walk towards the coveted Lord’s Cricket Ground - Met Dudeja outside Lord’s & started our Lord’s tour - Went to the great hall, merchandise store, the dressing rooms - the place where Ganguly took off & flung his jersey during the Natwest 2002 finals - Bus from Lord’s —> Oxford Circus - Walked around Oxford Street, its a shopping freak show. Since I’m averse to shopping, I didn’t like this street, but the kind of consumerism that exists in London is intense - Went for lunch to The Chipping Forecast: Fish & Chips, Avocado salad & Guinness stout was consumed - Followed by desert at Chin Chin - Met Deep in the evening & we went to Soho Theatre to watch comedy show, which I didn’t know would go on to inspire me to such an extent: DEMI LARDNER - Walked around Piccadilly Circle, China Town, Leicester Square, the popular places of London. Too much fan-fare around these places, very commercial, whereas I prefer the quiet, quaint lanes. Anyway, I couldn’t go to London for the first time & not visit these places, they’re too iconic too skip! - Walked around the Soho again, had a very good beer while walking - Dinner at Japes Pizzeria with Simon, Dudeja & Deep. Their pizzas were amazing! - Train from Oxford Circus —> Waterloo —> Walked home

Day 3 // 20th July 2019

It was nice, normal - Walk back home from BFI - Reached home, then stepped out again - Spotted Andrew Scott outside the Old Vic Theatre! O.M.G. YES - Met Sumit, Sam & Dudeja & The London Eye around midnight, their keys fell into a gutter outside the London Eye & we struggled to get it, Sam & Sumit wrote a note on paper which had their name and contact number & put it through the grill - We went to a supermarket to get magnets since we thought we'll use that to pull out the keys from the gutter, but the shop-owner(from the subcontinent) warned us not to do such stuff, since it would come across as extremely suspicious. - Walked with Dudeja around Union Street - We saw hordes of people line up outside a train bridge, figured there was some underground boxing match happening there. - Walk back home.

Day 4 // 21st July 2019

- Took a train to North Greenwhich, was sent back to Canary Wharf, cozy the observatory is closer from there - SRK’s 'Challa' was shot at Canary Wharf - Heron Qauy-DLR Walk - Got off at Cutty Stark - Walk in Greenwich was amazing, it's a beautiful area - Walked to the observatory, crossing Cafe Rouge, Greenwich theatre & the huge park - Touched and stood on the prime meridian line(EXACT vertical centre of the Earth) & walked around the observatory - Walked down to the National Maritime Museum and saw some cool naval stuff (I didn't know that museums would fascinate me so much!) - Walk through Cutty Stark, bought a couple of vinyl LPs for myself although I don't have a player -_- It's a long term plan, sometimes you get accessories for something that you don't have & that motivates you to get the actual product, right? *I hope it's not just me* - Walked the Thames underground tunnel, it was quite cold down there - Walked across multiple parks to reach Isle of Dogs, (the name of this area inspired Wes Anderson to create a fictional film) which was quite disappointing, since I was expecting some film references, alas, One shouldn't expect too much. I didn't even find a direction symbol or a milestone that read 'Isle of Dogs' - Train back to Canary Wharf --> Switch at Green Park --> Piccadilly Line --> Hyde Park Corner - Met Dudeja, Deep & Simon at Hyde Park - We had a couple of beers, spoke, played catch & frisbee'd - Took a bus to Original Lahore, we were joined by Upmanyu there for dinner - Mediocre food at Original Lahore - Upmanyu walked us around the area, it was the same area where he stayed during his previous visit - Walked to Baker Street & saw Sherlock Holmes house. 221B - Took the bus home.

Day 5 // 22nd July 2019

- Started the day late. Did laundry, dishes, following up with clients regarding work back in Bombay. I was glad I didn’t carry my laptop along! - Walk to Southwark - Train to Victoria Station - Oxford Tube bus from Victoria Coach - Chill bus ride, reached the majestic city of Oxford - Walked around Oxford University, Christ Church College, by the river that flows through the city - I think I ate the best burger that I've ever eaten at Oxford.

Day 12 // 29th July 2019

- Reached Edinburgh early in the morning. Walked down to the hostel. - Crashed in the hostel's (Baxter's Hostel) cafeteria since my check-in was 6 hours later. The people running that place were v sweet! 10/10 would recommend. - Got to my bed at 2 PM. Slept immediately. - Woke up at 5 PM, met Nimesh (Indian connect ftw, he was from Canada), he was gracious enough to lend me his hop on/hop off bus ticket, that was valid for the next day as well - Walked around Waverley Mall, ate a quick Chinese meal. Booked my ghost tour for 9 PM the same night, but reached the incorrect meeting point - Walked around the city & went back to the hostel by 10:30 PM, not a lonely walk, since the fringe setup/arrangements were on, Edinburgh was buzzing!

Day 13 // 30th July 2019 - Woke up late, fresh finally! Quick shower & out. - Bright sunny day (Thank god for that!). - Grabbed a subway & took the hop on - hop off bus - Reached the entry point to Arthur's seat. Trekked Arthur's seat. Beautiful. Spent an hour there, ate fruits while I chilled with myself. - Went to the Scottish Parliament - Took rounds of the city on the bus, got to know about the significance of Edinburgh in J.K.Rowling's life & the world of Harry freaking Potter. (Trivia: Rowling incepted Harry Potter in Edinburgh. She wrote The Sorcerer's Stone at a cafe 'The Elephant House' & the Deathly Hallows in suite 501 @ The Balmoral (Bang opposite Baxter Hostel)) - Walked the lovely Victoria Street, ate a heavy meal @ Nando's - Finally went for my Murder & Mystery walk at Victoria Street, too much fun! - Walk to the hostel, slept.

Day 15 // 1st August 2019 - Woke up early, had to meet Aditi & film The Otherside episode with her! There was a kick in my walk finally, after the last couple of days of gloom and Aditi's energy was so positive & happy, it just pulled me out of where my mind was looming. - Met & shot the episode with her at Assembly @ George Square, we ate some lovely crepes later. - Walked around Edinburgh, visited The Scottish Art Gallery, saw my favorite painter: Rembrandt’s original, authentic work!!!

Day 16 // 2nd August 2019

- It was a sunny day, had to do final packing, shopping & visit the places that were on the check list, all in the limited number of hours & considering that I wake up late, anyway, I think I managed to do a great job! - Kept all my bags ready & headed out after cooking myself a quick meal at home - Went straight up to Green Park, chilled for a while - Walked around Buckingham Palace - Went to Harrod’s, that’s a mind-boggling shopping space. Crazy! - Had to visit the iconic Abbey Road and click a picture of that street. There’s too much artistic history in London! What to do. - And I cannot thank Kunal Rao enough for recommending Hampstead Heath, it is the BEST park ever. What diverse experience. Yoga, silent open air disco, writers sitting in isolation & writing, young couples chilling, boys playing football, people having wine, some men fishing, while some swam, it was all happening there. Perfect example of Mutual Co-existence. Spent a couple of hours there, ate fruit, absorbed the air, my trip was coming to an end, what a bummer :( - Ran to Oxford Street, had to do all the shopping, then & there. - I shopped from LUSH, Sports Direct, Primark, Adidas, Marks & Spencer. You’d want to spend all your money on that street, it’s peak capitalism, but too attractive to not spend. Such dilemma for an existential person yaar. (Notice the change in me from day 2 to day 16?) - Reached home late in the night, bid adieu to this beautiful house in the heart of London, very grateful! - Picked luggage & left for Harsha Di’s place, saw a film shoot happening on the street when I left, now the person I am, I found that symbolic like: chalo beta it’s time to go back to films (Bombay), haha! - Got on a train to Wembley, met Harsha Di & jiju, went to their place, she’d made fresh indian food! Tasted a roti after 17 days, oh man, that is unmatchable, the hype is true! - Chilled with the two of them & crashed, had an early morning flight.

Day 17 // 3rd August 2019

- Woke up early, Harsha di & Alok jiju drove me to the Heathrow & the trip came to an end! What an experience man. Wow! I was amazed.

SPECIAL THANKS TO HRISHIT, SIDDHARTH & HARSHITA DI FOR THE MAKING SURE I HAD THE BEST TIME! AND TO KUNAL, ASHISH, VASANI & AKHIL FOR THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND AS ALWAYS, MOM (FOR EVERYTHING)

I also realised that I quite enjoy my own company & thoughts, so was able to spend almost 20 days by myself, of course I met friends, comics & stuff, but for the most time, I was alone & I think I did well. Took care of everything, from food, travel, laundry, mopping, grocery shopping, managing expenses while on a budget trip along with having an absolutely kickass time and enormous learnings.

Special Mention & MUST HAVE: ‘Citymapper’ App (It sorted my life from day 1. No other App is required if you have this App)

OVERALL TRIP AFTERTHOUGHT: I absolutely loved my time in U.K. It’s the culture, the architecture, the people who make the place, all of which were very good & the best part is that they have preserved and maintained their history, they hold it so dearly (even though most of the wealth is a result of imperialism & looted from other nations, they have cultivated a culture & market out of it) and that’s something that I think we lack as a nation. I recently read an article that said RK Studios in Chembur has been demolished since they were running losses and the land has been sold to a big real estate company for apartments to be made. All the memorabilia, the emotions, the films which were shot in that iconic studio gone! All at once. Somehow I feel, that in another country perhaps, it would have been valued more, art would be given much more respect.

Pesto with almonds, pesto recipe

Pesto with almonds, no parmesan cheese. Simple and easy pesto recipe that you can make with ingredients available in your pantry also vegan friendly. I never liked basil leaves when we had it in the pizzas we order during our trips abroad. Vj have an aversion of that smell. Even I did not like the strong smell. Once I tried a pesto recipe with spinach, that too was super flop. So I had no courage to try any pesto recipes again. When Sangamitra posted her pesto recipes in her Instagram stories, it was straight forward, so simple and it just pushed me to try it out. I thought after all these years, I should like it as I am liking thai green curry. So ordered ingredients required online. I ordered genovese basil, got sweet basil though. I was determined to try pesto this time, so nothing stopped me. I already made pasta with it and Aj loved it a lot too. So double yay for me. Should prepare pesto whenever I find fresh basil here after. I used garlic powder in the recipe, it was less pungent. For longer shelf life, better to skip garlic. Add couple of garlics freshly in your recipes then and there. Lets learn a simple pesto with almonds.
