There's a Fine Line COMPLETE

Rob woke up first and looked over at Lex who was laying on her stomach, sprawled out over more than half the bed, he was hanging half off of it.

'Figures, she'd be a bed hog.' He said to himself. He looked at her naked back and couldn't help the thoughts that started to form, ones that he had held at bay before he had drifted off to sleep with Lex. How could he have done it? How could he have shagged her? She was Jon's cousin and a virgin! Why did these things always happen to him? How was he supposed to explain it to Jon?

'Well, Jon, I seduced your virginal cousin the day after you told me not to.' Jon would kill him. And so would Jon's mum and even his own mum would. He felt guilty but the part of him that was extremely satisfied told him not to worry. They didn't need to know. It would all work out. But how had he gone from hating her to taking her virginity in a month? Shit even less than that since he had hated her untill about a week ago. But had he hated her? She obviously hadn't hated him, she said that she had always wanted to be with him. Had she held onto her virginity for him? It didn't seem resonable that she had. Afterall they had barely tolerated each other for years, but she had been acting. And what an actress. She was an innocent girl like Jon had said and yet she had the balls to wear that T Shirt. She was puzzle to him. She cursed, was rude and she could be arrogant and then she was shy, sweet and untouched. Well not so untouched now, he had never been with a virgin, it was sort of a strange feeling. He was concerned about the pain and if she had liked it, well he knew she had enjoyed herself, a virgin couldn't fake that. But what if it wasn't special enough? His mind was racing a mile a minute, moving from thought to thought as he tried to make sense of what had happened. As he watched her sleeping he hoped she wouldn't regret it because he had to admit, if only to himself, it had been one of the most incredible experiences of his life. Not because she was a virgin but because she had felt he was worth sharing her first time with. That realization had him reaching out to touch her bare back, gliding his hand up along her spine.

"Mmmmm...that feels good." She said. She turned her head to look at him. She had never felt so relaxed and for once in her life she didn't feel like running away. He continued to rub her back while he tried to think of the words he wanted to say. She smiled and watched his emotions play out over his face. Happy, confused, scared, pleased...his face was an open book.

"Rob...just say it." She said. He nodded and seemed to build his courage up to ask. She wanted to giggle but knew it would hurt his feelings. He really wasn't that cocky bastard that everyone thought he was.

"Why? Why me?" He asked, his hand was still on her back and she thought she could feel it trembling.

"I was going to say why not? But that is not the real answer. I've never admitted this to anyone, ever. But I guess I feel more than a crush for you and no other guy compared. I've been close to doing it a few times, but I always had a little voice telling me that it wasn't right. So I waited, hoping that the voice would tell me I was with the right guy. And today it did." He was stunned, she had been saving herself for him.

"What if this never happened? What if we hadn't become friends?" He wondered.

"Well, I don't think I would have died a virgin. Probably would have got drunk and shagged some bloke." She said honestly.

"So the only person you acted strangly around was me? Jon said you were sweet and innocent. I told him you were the Devil." He said smiling his "I'm sorry smile"

"The Devil?! Thanks a lot." She said laughing.

"Well you did that that whole black period." He said trying to defend himself.

"Well it was brief and I only had to sacrifice a few babies. So not to worry." She joked. He liked it when she laughed.

"I didn't feel confident around you Rob. So I created someone that didn't care if you liked them or not. But I did care. Do you know how embarrassing it is to buy a Robbie Williams CD when you look like Marilyn Manson's twin brother? She asked. He laughed and kissed her back.

"Well I am glad that the real Lex came to L.A."

"Me too." She said rolling over onto her back and pulling the blankets up to cover her nakedness. Still not comfortable being naked in front of him. He on the other hand was lounging completely nude as if he didn't have a care in the world. She wanted to peek at "him" but didn't want Rob to catch her.

"So no regrets?" He asked, reaching for a cigarette.

"I love that song." She said teasing him. He grabbed her hands and using his body pinned her to the bed.

"I'm serious Lex. Do you regret it?"

"No. Never. It was perfect. Better than I could have imagined." She answered looking into his eyes and feeling her breath catch. He was so beautiful.

"Was it okay? It didn't hurt too much?" He asked with concern.

"For a moment. But that passed quickly."

"Good. How do you feel now?" He asked her, letting her hands go and tracing her lips with his thumb.

"A bit sore but I imagine that will pass too. I wouldn't mind a shower though." She said. He didn't think she was ready for him to join her just yet so he rolled off of her and made a show of looking for his pants so that she could escape to the shower without him leering at her. He got dressed while showering and tried to tidy up the bed. There were a few blood stains on the sheets and he wasn't sure what he should do. He didn't even know where they kept the spare sheets. He pulled the sheets off the bed and dropped them in a heap on the floor and went to look in the guest room. He knew they kept extra towels there so maybe sheets too. He found some and took them back to his room. It had been years since he had made his own bed and he was trying to get it straightened up when Lex came out of the bathroom wearing his robe.

"What are you doing?" She asked smiling.

"I can't make the fucking bed." He said with frustration.

"I'll show you how." She knew why he was changing the bed and also knew he had no clue how to."

"Thanks." He smiled. They made the bed and Lex went to get dressed, he waited for her outside her room and they went down to the kitchen to look for some dinner.

"I'll make something." She said. He offered to help but knew he would probably just make things more difficult. She let him wash the lettuce for the salad. The chatted about his new CD while they got things ready and were just sitting down to eat when the phone rang. Rob picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Hey! It's me."

"Jon! How are you doing?" He asked. Trying to sound normal but feeling as if Jon some how knew what he had done. Lex looked on nervously, hoping Rob didn't screw it up.

"I'm great. How are things there?" Jon asked.

"Fine. Quiet. Not much going on. You know same old same old." Rob was rambling and realised he sounded like an idiot.

"Well I just wanted to let you know that Nikki and I are coming for a visit. If it's alright, we wanted to see you and make sure Lex was behaving."

"Great! I can't wait. When do you arrive?" He asked. Lex was now choking on her breadstick.

'Jon was coming? Here? Oh shit.' She thought.

"Be there in two days. Tell Lex I said hello."

"I will see you soon mate!" Rob hung up the phone and looked at Lex.

"Now what?"
