RACHEL'S POV

Hearing a knock on his door, Tony looked at me with panic in his eyes. He contemplated getting out of the bed and hiding, but knew he had time to do neither - his Mum was just going to have to deal with the fact that he was in bed with me.

'Good mo- Oh, hello there,' she laughed.

Tony's cheeks went red, 'morning.'

'There's breakfast ready downstairs,' she told us, 'come on.'

'One minute,' said Tony, sliding further under the covers.

'Cesar Antonio Perry, are you naked under those covers?'

'No, no.' He said, popping back up. 'Just give us a minute, please?'

'Hmm.. okay. No noisy business though, it's breakfast time.'

He laughed into his palms, 'right. Please go now.'

With that, mama Perry left the room. Tony rolled out the bed and went over to his drawers. Pulling out a top, he looked at me and laughed. I smiled back and he then proceeded to put the top on. Grabbing a fresh pair of boxers, he looked at me playfully.

'Look away,' he said.

'Ugh,' I chuckled, hiding my face under the covers. Ruffling them, I watched in secret as he changed. 'God, Tony. I never-'

'What?' he interrupted. Shit. You weren't suppose to look. Fuck. It's really big though, my goodness. I began to giggle at my own thoughts. I closed the whole I was peaking through and tried to muffle my laughter with the covers.

'What were you saying there?' he asked, pulling this covers off me.

'Nothing, I just- nothing.'

'You peaked. You're a liar.'

'Shhh,' I giggled. 'Don't tell Tony.'

'Wouldn't dare,' he laughed, throwing the covers over me again.

Sliding out from beneath them, he quickly realised I was wearing his top. I smiled at him cheekily before leaving the room to go and changing for myself. I went into my room and put on black ripped jeans, a low tank top and a bandeau underneath. Once satisfied, I made my way downstairs for breakfast.

Sitting down next to Tony, I took a bowl from the center of the table and then filled it with Weetabix. Without adding milk (because who wants soggy cereal?), I dug my spoon in and began to eat it.

Once dinner was over, it was time to go to the hospital. Tony offered to drive me and fetched a couple of things while I rushed upstairs and washed my face, adding a little makeup. As I was brushing my teeth, the door creaked open and I watched him in the mirror as he came up to me and hugged me from behind.

'Do you want me to come in? I don't mind if you say no.'

I spat in the sink before rinsing my toothbrush under the tap. 'It would be nice, but I don't want you to feel uncomfortable. You might be waiting outside for a while though.'

'That's okay,' he nodded. 'I'm just gonna go get my hoodie,' he informed me, removing his arms and sticking his tongue out at me in the mirror before leaving.

'He's not doing well,' said a nurse to me and Tony as she guided us to his room. I laced my fingers with Tony's as she looked at me sympathetically. 'It's looking like a matter of days now.' Days? I've got a few days. There's so much I should say, but I'm not sure what. What do I say?

Pulling myself out of a cloud of thoughts, I opened the door and pulled Tony in behind me. I didn't want to put him through this, but I was scared. 'Dad,' I said softly, his eyes fell on me.

'Rachel,' he said breathlessly, his eyes moved on to Tony. I was worried he would be upset, but his smile only grew wider. He winked at Tony which took me off guard but made me feel at ease a little bit more.

'Rachel, I have something to tell you. I wrote my will the other day and I have given you something pretty good. I have to make up for all the missed birthdays and Christmas' anyway.' He smiled widely at Tony before leaning close to me, his eyes heavy but still meeting mine. 'Our home. It's yours.'

'Dad,' I choked out, unable to comprehend what he just said. 'That's too much.'

'I want your children to grow up in a beautiful house surrounded by beautiful views and wonderful people.' I watched as his eyes fell on Tony, he winked at him once again. I whipped my head round to see Tony smiling at him.

'You two are so weird,' I laughed, beginning to cry at the same time.

'Oh no,' said Tony, pulling me in for a hug. 'Don't cry, please don't cry.' Feeling his comforting embrace, I turned and wrapped my arms around him. 'I'm not ready, Dad. Don't go yet.'

'It's not my choice, Rachel. I'm sorry. You better go,' he said rather coldly.

'What?' I shouted, Tony letting me go so I could face him. 'I'm not leaving you!'

'I think it's for the best. I don't want you to see me like this and I don't want to see you like that. Please, Rachel.'

'Fine,' I scoffed, 'but don't think I'm not coming back tomorrow, okay?'

'Sure,' he smiled. I placed a kiss on my Dad's forehead before stroking his cheek slowly, trying to remember every detail about him. I went to the door, Tony following behind me. I glanced back and smiled at my poor Dad with pursed lips, trying to hold back the tears.

'I love you,' he said, smiling warmly at me. I opened the door and ran out, crying violently into my hands.

Feeling Tony's arms around me, I collapsed and let him catch me. I couldn't breathe - he was going to be gone in a matter of days. Picking me up bridal style, something he had being doing a lot lately, he carried me out the hospital and to his car. Placing me in the passenger seat, he kissed my cheek before going round and hopping in his side.

TONY'S POV

Killing the ignition, I turned to Rachel who was staring at me. Pulling the car keys out, I tossed them into my other hand before smiling at her.

'Thank you,' she said, breaking the stare. She climbed out the car and I followed, locking the car as she went up the path. She waited for me and then entered the house, instantly being pulled through to the living room by my Mum.

'Home early,' she observed.

'Yeah,' said Rachel, taking a seat and pulling me down next to her. 'My Dad wanted some time to himself,' she lied.

'Ah,' said my Mum. 'Well it's only the afternoon, do you two have any plans?'

'We should go out,' I said to her softly, 'you up for it?'

'Sure,' she smiled.

We said bye just as fast and left as fast as we entered. Jumping into my truck, I turned on the radio and we both sang along to Blurred Lines as we pulled out of the drive.

'Where we going?' I asked.

'Burger King,' she said.

'Why?' I smiled, turning on to the road headed for the fast food joint.

'I've never had one,' she answered.

After around 10 minutes of driving, we reached Burger King. Joining the small queue of cars, we rolled closer to the drive through window.

'What do you get?' she asked.

'Uh, just a cheeseburger.'

'Okay, I'll have that too then. Can I have a kids meal though?'

'Mhmm.'

Coming to the order point, I rolled down the window and told the woman what we wanted. Once she read it back and we confirmed it, we continued down the line to where you pick it up. Taking the bags of a teenage boy, I handed them to Rachel and gave him the money. I rolled up the window before driving along a little more to a car park nearby. Turning off the engine, I looked around at the surrounding trees before looking at Rachel who had her eyes fixed on the bags.

'Here you go,' she said, handing me mine. I opened it and unwrapped my burger. Taking a bite, I looked up as I began to chew - Rachel was staring at me quizzically. 'Everything okay?' I mumbled.

'Yup,' she chimed, diving into the bag and pulling out her burger. She unwrapped it and took a bite, moaning as she chewed it. 'This is good!' She shouted, taking another bite before that one was even swallowed. I laughed at her a little and we devoured our burgers in silence.

Suddenly, I felt something hit me on the head - it wasn't sore, but I felt it. Turning, I noticed that Rachel had received a toy in her meal and decided to fire some sort of disc out of it. She looked at me with wide eyes, making an 'o' shape with her mouth.

'I am so sorry,' she giggled, 'I didn't know what it did.' I put down the last little bit of my burger (due to her ordering kids, her's was quite a bit smaller so she'd finished already) and gave her a serious look. She scrunched up her nose and pressed the button on top of the toy, sending another disc in my direction - it hit me directly in the nose. 'Aw,' she laughed, leaning over and pulling me closer to her. 'I didn't mean to hit you in the face,' she giggled sympathetically.

'You're so mean,' I smiled, kissing her lightly. 'Why do I love such a mean girl?'

'Cause I'm hawt,' she joked, waving her finger about.

'You are,' I agreed, putting my hand on the back of her neck and pulling her closer.

'Tony,' she said in between kisses.

'Yeah?'

'I haven't tried the fries yet.' Bursting into laughter, I rested my head on her shoulder. 'What?' she exclaimed, 'I don't want cold fries!'

'Okay, go on,' I said, pulling mine out too. I took a chip and began to nibble at it as I looked around outside. Feeling something hit me yet again, I turned to find a fry next to me on the seat.

'Tastes weird,' she said with a smile on her lips. She wiggled another one about, threatening to throw it. Shoving mine back in the bag, I put it on the floor before climbing over the center console and pinning her against the window on her side. Lifting her hips, I let her move so she was sitting sideways on the seat. She wrapped her legs around my body and licked my lip for entrance which I granted.

'Backseat,' she breathed out, pushing me off. Letting her clamber through first, we both went into the back and returned to our position. Lying down completely, I hovered over her as the kiss continued. She tugged at my shirt which I happily removed, throwing it into the front seat. She unzipped my jeans and began to tug them down, I sat back and pulled them down further as she removed her top and undone her jeans. Reattaching our lips, I let my hand wander down her pale skin and slide into her pants. She moaned into my mouth as I proceeded to pleasure her, rubbing and nibbling her lip as I figured out where her weak spot was.

'Tony,' she moaned, found it.

She tugged down my boxers, 'n-now, please.'

Leaving a trail of kisses down her neck, I removed my hand and pulled down her trousers and pants. Lifting her hips, I positioned myself before entering her, earning gasps and loud moans.

'God, Tony!' She shouted, holding on to the seats as I hit her spot. 'Faster!' She demanded, I complied.

'I'm nearly there,' I said, grunting as I came closer.

'Fuck!' She screamed as she came - I did so seconds later. Panting frantically, we switched places and she lay on top of me as we caught our breathes.

'I fucking love you,' she laughed into the crook of my neck.
