Scott stared into Gias eyes as he continued to move his hips against her, the sweat on his brow now becoming more prominent as his breathing and pace quickened further. He never felt closer to Gia than when they were in bed. It was not only about sex for them, but they were so good together that they enjoyed to act out their love for each other physically whenever they could. As he heard her moan, louder this time, Scott looked up, seeing her bite her lip. He knew this meant that Gia was almost there, and to increase her pleasure he picked up his pace once more, moving against her faster as he felt her fingernails dig into his back.
As Gias back arched again, Scott felt himself near the end, and as Gia let out a scream, he wrapped his arms around her back. "Oh...Gia," he moaned one final time, loudly, as he collapsed into a tight hug with her, the warm and plesasurable feeling washing over him and taking his breath away. "I love you," he whispered breathlessly directly into her ear, before kissing her passionately.

Scott smiled over at Gia, his chest rising and falling rapidly as he tried to regain his breath. He smiled, wiping the sweat from Gia's forehead as he gave her a long kiss, closing his eyes and putting his arm around her back. "Did you enjoy that babe?" He asked as he smiled at her, pulling her closer to cuddle up to him.

Scott sits in the living room of his old apartment. The TV is switched off, and he stares aimlessly at the floor. On the table in front of him sits a glass, empty, and a bottle of whiskey almost also so. His hair looks disheveled, and his trademark stubble, untrimmed for more than a few days looks longer than normal. He rubs the front of his jeans and sighs as he continues to stare at nothing in particular. Beside him on the sofa sits his phone, the battery removed as if to remove the temptation to switch it on and become reconnected to the world. It had been more than 48 hours since anyone had heard from him. He wondered if anyone was bothered. From the way people had been talking about him on Twitter, they all hated him anyway, and Gia had changed the locks. At that moment she was probably enjoying a peaceful breakfast with the girls, without him, without all of the hassle that he brought her. At least that was how he envisaged the situation at the moment.

Shaking his head again, Scott sighed and fought back the tears. He had shed too many in the last few days, but it was almost impossible for him to fight them anymore. He looked down at the table again and lifted the bottle. He emptied the last of the contents into the glass and then lifted it to his mouth, draining the amber liquid and wincing a little as he felt it burn his throat on the way down. Scott placed the glass back on the wooden table with a soft clink, and raised his hands to his face as if to push back the tears again.

Scott stood up and walked through to the bathroom to take a leak. He walked slowly, as if to not make too much noise, just in case anyone was looking for him. He left the bathroom door open as he unzipped his jeans, pulling himself out and relieving himself before flushing and returning to the living room. Once there, he dropped onto the couch again and put his head in his hands. He wondered if anyone really was looking for him. He hadn't spoken to Gia at all since she said she was changing the locks, and he was sure she wasn't even giving him a second thought, but Mark had sounded worried on the phone. Perhaps he and Josh were searching for him. He wasn't sure if he wanted to be found though. He knew that he was no angel at all. Suzie annoyed Gia, and he knew that, but there was no way he had seen her to annoy his wife or to make her seem jealous. That had never been his intention. Scott sighed and shook his head. What was the point? She hated him, everyone else hated him, especially her friends. But what was new there?

Scott thought to himself as he looked around at the living room. This had been where they had spent the early days of their relationship, before they had moved to the bigger house in the suburbs. When they were here, everything was far more simple and easy. There was almost no need for effort as their fledgling love just showed to each other every day. The honeymoon period has to end though. Scott knew that. For all intents and purposes, this was actually his first fully adult relationship, given that most of his others had just been sex. He still found it difficult sometimes, and he needed someone to guide him sometimes, because he dearly wanted to make it all work out. It seemed like Gia had run out of patience though, like she no longer wanted to be the one to help guide Scott through the hard times. He had known that eventually he would learn, and he would mature into their marriage, when all of his fiery personality died down. But he had blown that chance. Gia was gone once and for all. She didn't want him anymore. He then heard the door open, but didn't look up. Someone had found him. Mark and Josh for sure. He bowed his head and waited for them.

Scott kept his head down as he heard someone walk into the room, expecting to hear Mark and Josh's relief at finding him. He didn't look up, and then he heard Gia. His heart skipped a beat and he felt a little stab of pain across his chest. Why was she here? He was sure they were over. Had she come to just berate him. He stood up, slowly, still not looking across, slightly ashamed as he raised his hands a little from his sides. "Gia, I don't want any trouble," he said, almost whispering, realising he hadn't spoken at all in two days.

Scott felt annoyed when she brought up the Suzie thing again. Did she really think that he would have done anything with her. He tries to bury his thoughts and annoyances though, and he's shocked to hear Gia say that she's come to take him home. He nods. "I missed them too. I missed them both a lot. I never felt so alone as I have without them." He doesnt feel it right to mention how much he missed her too, since he was still unsure if their marriage was holding up. He thought for a minute, unable to bury his anger about the Suzie argument. He looks up and takes a few steps toward her. "You know...I never even touched Suzie. I don't see why you're paranoid because I did nothing wrong. I only left the beach cos you were too busy with your friend to enjoy our family day out." He looks at her, annoyed.

Scott shakes his head. "Your children? YOUR children Gia? Is that how it is now, is it? Might I remind you who their father is??" He shakes his head. "Oh and by the way, it was nothing to do with Andrea or Serenity. I left because I was sat there on the beach like some idiot on my own while you tapped away on a phone. Every time I tried to talk to you, I felt like I was distracting you from your conversation. It was a family day out." He sits back on the sofa before standing up when she speaks again. "You never listen to me do you?? I never left to go for a coffee with her. I left to go home and then she spoke to me to go for a coffee." He shakes his head. "Besides, are you disrespecting me? Your three best friends don't even want us together, and that's not fucking disrespectful? Three people have told you to leave me and they're still your friends?" He winces as the purse hits him. "Nice Gia. Nice. Throw stuff at me, that will help." He sighs. "Right you know what? Suzie has never kissed me like Julian or Bryan did to you. But fine, if you can dictate to me who my friends are then fine Gia." He looks over at her. "You honestly think I'm just disrespecting you? You seem to think I meant that?" He shakes his head again. "Why are you even here? Did you just come to shout and throw things at me?"

Scott shakes his head and looks at Gia after she turns her back. "Why? On Sunday you said you wanted me out of your life. First of all it was that you were going back to the house to get changed and then leaving. Then it was that you were going to change the locks. Why all of a sudden do you want me back there?"
Scott continued to stare at her, knowing Gia had more to say still. He waited and then shrugged. "What? What is it? I can see you still have something bubbling away in there so what is it? Get it all out."

Scott shrugs. "Well you were talking about fighting people and really having a go at me on Twitter. Seemed everyone hated me, including you. When you said you were leaving I thought it better I just come here." He nods and looks down at the floor. "I'll only come back if you want me to. Like actually want me to. Not because of the kids but because you want me back." He looks at her.
