OScar Winning Performances (Part 1)

-1-

Lying in bed, she let a tear drip over her nose and her mobile fall out of her hand on to the floor. She refused to cry, yet her heart ached with a longing she had never felt before. He had told her he didn’t love her any longer, and, even though she refused to believe it, he had kept repeating it, making sure she understood.
She sat up suddenly and Sphinx, her cat, looking angry at being woken up, leapt off the bed, but to her, he was just a smear of white fur. Picking up her mobile phone, she flipped it open, dialling the only number she knew off by heart.
‘Don’t you get it Salix? I don’t love you anymore, just leave me alone.’ She mouthed in protest only managing a squeak, and he sighed. ‘Look, you ruined it for us by saying you were going to go back out with that twat. You only have yourself to blame. I don’t want anything to do with you ever again, understand?’ Every syllable stabbed at her heart.
‘But I love you, not him. I thought you could help me with the friendship problem, not tear us to shreds over the tiniest insignificant detail.’ She broke down. ‘You don’t want this to end, big bear, I know you don’t. Just let me come over and we can talk about this.’ She knew she sounded desperate, but she was. He was the only man she had ever loved, and they had known each other for five years, and she had loved him for four of them.
‘I don’t want you anywhere near me, Salix, you’re pathetic and I’ll always be second choice after Jaden. I’m either first or out of your life.’ She begged him to see her, and the familiar lump in her throat dissolved into the tears which had threatened to spill over earlier. ‘Get the message and leave me alone.’ He disconnected the call and Salix slumped on to the floor, a huddled mound of tears, tissues and shaking limbs.
She leapt up; shoving her bare feet into her running trainers and threw her coat over her shoulders. This was the only time she allowed herself to be spontaneous; when guys were involved. Grabbing her car keys she opened the front door, welcomed by black pools of rainwater and drooping roses in her garden. She raced to the car, unlocked it and jumped in, rain dripping from her eyelashes and tendrils of hair which had escaped from her hair bobble.
Starting the engine of her new Mercedes, she reversed out of the drive and sped off down the deserted country lane into the city only 2 miles away. The white cats’ eyes on the road swam in her field of vision as she swept the tears away with her right hand. Turning onto the first road, she slowed a little as she knew there were speed bumps all the way down.
She knew everyone on this road as she had stayed there more times than she could remember. Seeing his blue BMW on the drive, she pulled up blocking it in. Rushing out, she locked the car and bounded up the few steps to his black front door. She raised her hand to knock on it, but she paused at hearing a woman’s voice. She checked the number to her right, confirming it was the right house and knocked the door tentatively. She heard muffled steps coming towards her then the door creaked open.
An aging lady opened the door further, smiling warmly to Salix, but shaking her head she said ‘not now, love. It’s not the best time’. Salix jammed her foot in the door to stop her closing it.
‘Mollie, this is the perfect time, it’s because of me, and I have to talk to Jacob. We have to sort this out. Jacob!’ She screamed his name until lights flickered on in the surrounding houses. She didn’t care that curtains were being whipped open to see what the commotion was; all she cared about was getting the man that loved her. He came to the front door, telling his mother it was ok.
‘Salix, go away, for heaven’s sake! You’ve done enough damage to last a lifetime. Just leave, go back to your flashy house and your flashy car and leave me alone.’ He saw her protesting mouth gape open and he longed to push back the hair which had plastered itself to her forehead. He wanted to take her upstairs and get her out of the soaking wet clothes in which she was standing.
‘Please Jacob, five minutes, that’s all I ask. Just let me explain myself.’ He sighed and opened the door, shuffling back a few footsteps. She slid around the door and leaned against it, taking in his red eyes and shabby clothing. He needed a shave but the stubble added to his sexiness, and each time he looked at her his eyes were searching hers for an answer to all his questions.
‘Just one question Salix, why did you do it? That’s all I want to know.’ She looked down at the carpet under her shoes, then up at the man sitting on the bottom step of the stairs. She took a step forward, her hand outstretched to stoke his hair, but she stopped and withdrew it as if she had been scolded.
‘I’m so sorry; I don’t know what came over me.’ She hung her head and closed her eyes, secretly scolding herself for being needy and everything she hated in a woman.
‘Guilty conscious maybe? In what way did you think we could get back together after this? You’re so stupid, no, scratch that. I’m the stupid one; for ever thinking someone like you could ever commit to a man like me.’
She looked confused and her eyebrows knitted together in thought.
‘How could a posh, rich woman like you ever love a poor guy like me? Maybe it was just pity that held us together, after all, you did buy me this house, and the car outside, and all the suits in my cupboard, was that all pity? Thought you could splash the cash and I’d come running into your arms. I fell in love with you the second I saw you, and I loved you even when I found out you were a Frantisek. Your name and family history didn’t even matter to me, because I was in love with you. You, not the money or the opportunities I would get if I married you. But you threw it all away when you opened up your big gob and blurted your plans to cheat on me!’
‘It was never a plan to cheat on you; I love being with you, why would I cheat on you? You’re the only person in the world who hasn’t run away or snuggled up for cash; you’re the only person in the entire world who hasn’t taken me for granted.’
‘I was too wrapped up in the thought that you genuinely loved me! Get out of my house Salix, just get out.’ He stood up and went into the kitchen, leaning on the granite work surface. She walked up behind him and touched his shoulder with her finger tips. He flinched away from her as if she had hit him, staring at his distorted reflection in the chrome sink below him.
‘I love you, with all my heart Salix, but let’s face it, we would never work out. You’re only seventeen and I’m thirty seven. Your father wouldn’t let you go out with a scrubber like me, so maybe this was meant to happen and you should cut your losses while you still have the chance.’
‘No.’ Her voice was so forceful and hysterical he swung around in surprise. ‘I will not just walk out of her after all we’ve been through Jacob! I don’t care about the age difference. I knew you would be a good partner as soon as I saw you and you showed me things that I’ll never forget. Like that time you took me to the theme park and held my hand on the big rollercoaster so tight I thought you were going to break every bone in it. And that time you took me to the dolphin pool in Florida, and the time you took me on a surprise holiday and made love to me on the beach as the sun was setting. And the time you took me to Switzerland and we spent an entire weekend in bed ordering room service and champagne.’ He looked pained at the memories, but continued to look out of the window.
‘I want those times back Jacob, I want you back. You’re a great guy. Do you remember when we went to Denmark and got totally lost trying to find this one shop and we ended up on a nudist beach? We didn’t want to seem rude so we stripped off too, staying for two hours talking to this small German couple who were advertising strip clubs.’ They both smiled at the memory and he looked up at her.
‘It’s ok to mention the memories, Salix, but what happens when our memories don’t include us together? I remember you being chatted up by these two Spanish guys and being taken to some club when we’d promised each other a night in. And that time you went and stayed in another guy’s bed because you thought you’d seen me checking out another girl. We’re like chalk and cheese, we never got along unless we were having sex or totally out of our minds on booze and drugs.’
‘We got over all of that though, and we were stronger than ever. I think that another week wouldn’t kill us, see how it goes?’ He was shaking his head.
‘I would just fall in love with you again.’
She cut in. ‘Is that such a bad thing?’
‘Yes it is! One of us will get hurt, and it’s most likely to be me because you’ll find a guy who Daddy will approve of, and he’ll be richer than me, be funnier, be smarter, and have a bigger cock.’ He sulked against the counter and she laughed.
‘That doesn’t matter to me, Jacob. I would want you just as much if you were richer, smarter, or had a bigger package. You’d still be you, and that’s who I want to be with. You love me even when I’m being dippy, when I scream and try and hit you, you cuddle and kiss me until I calm down, when I’m upset you hold me and comfort me, when I want you, you tease me until I scream yet you still manage to show me that you love me. Even when I’m being a total bitch, you still cook me a meal and buy me roses, that’s the kind of guy I want, and I’ll only ever find one person like that; you. No one will ever compare to you.’
The silence which followed was full of intense eye contact, they both longed to hold each other and show that they had never stopped loving each other for a second. Jacob broke it by sighing.
‘Welcome home princess’. Salix looked at him in sheer shock, she gasped for breath and tears erupted over her dark lashes, her smile turning into frowns of disbelief and shock.
He lurched forward like a drunk and wrapped her in his warm embrace, smothering her scalp with butterfly kisses and tears. She looked up at him, kissing him with as much love she could muster.
‘Let’s get you out of those wet clothes, before you catch your death.’ He grabbed her hand and dragged her upstairs, peeling off the sodden clothes and dropping them to the floor as they went. He kissed her, undoing the hair bobble so it fell to the floor with the rest of the clothes, her hair curled and her body was covered in goose pimples. Her tanned skin had a slightly blue tinge as he closed the bathroom door behind them. He untangled himself from her and turned on the shower, rushing to the airing cupboard to get clean towels.
She pushed the door shut when he had returned and leant against it, pulling him to her and kissing him. She removed his t-shirt and dropped it to the floor with his trousers and boxer shorts, never losing contact with his lips for more than a second. They stumbled into the shower and closed the door behind them, kissing lovingly as the warm water flowed over their entwined limbs. She pulled away, and shivering, whispered endearments to him. He hushed her and slid his soapy hands over her shoulders and breasts; trying to cover every skin cell from her fingers to her toes she wouldn’t catch pneumonia. She ran her fingers through his hair lovingly, still shivering with cold despite the hot mist developing on the glass surfaces.
She turned around and he covered her back with kisses and soap suds. His arms crept round her waist to her stomach and his fingers descended slowly as he kissed her neck and ears. She rested her head back on his shoulder, aware of his fingers’ every movement and closed her eyes.
‘I love you.’ Those three words made her heart flutter uncontrollably, and she thrust her hips towards his fingers, moaning when he touched the right spot. They heard a machine gurgle and the gentle click of the front door as his mother put the discarded clothes in the washing machine and left. Salix groaned lightly as his fingers explored her, bubbles dripping down her legs and onto the shower floor. Unaware of Inkle the cat, he continued to bring Salix closer to orgasm using just his gentle fingers. He felt her tense up at the peak then she melted into his arms, sighing with pleasure as he kissed her neck and removed his fingers.
Taking a little step back, he washed the remaining soap suds off her soft skin. She turned around, looked deep into his eyes and let her hands wander over his muscled chest and abdominals to his erect penis. As she wrapped her hand around it, he moaned and kissed her, enjoying every sweep of her palm over the shaft. She had always made him feel as sexy as she did, and he wished this moment could last forever.
Unwilling to orgasm in the shower, he turned it off and pulled her out, kissing her until they reached the bed in the next room, dripping with water and foam. He slid a condom over his penis and slowly lay down on top of her, moving as one with her as he entered her vagina with a moan of pleasure. He brought her to orgasm without breaking eye contact and, feeling her tightness, he came at the same time as she did. He kissed her button nose and withdrew.
He lay next to her, his penis sticking in the air like a statue. She was always marvelled by how it stayed erect after an orgasm, yet it was part of him, and she loved it. He pulled off the condom, disposing it in the bin next to the bed. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder n she cuddled up to him, resting her leg over his, her hand on his chest, playing with the down of chest hair, and she breathed in the hedonistic scent of sex from the air surrounding them.
How could she be lying naked next to him when he was saying such horrible things to her only two hours before? She was disgusted with herself and jumped up, pulling her spare clothes out of the wardrobe.
‘Where are you going Salix? I was hoping we could have a meal, maybe watch a film.’ She was shaking her head.
‘No, we shouldn’t have done that, maybe you’re right, maybe we shouldn’t see each other anymore. I mean, if my dad found out I was still seeing you, he’d do a check on you and kill you.’
His soft laugh made her feel infantile and naïve. He grabbed her and pulled her on to the bed, stroking her hair.
‘Let me be put to death for I am content. If I’m not mistaken, Romeo says that after he and Juliet make love for the first time. That’s how I feel right now, I’ve made love to the most beautiful woman in the history of mankind, and I feel happy, so he can kill me if he really doesn’t think I’m up to scratch for you.’
She could feel her anger slip away, no matter how hard she tried to keep hold of it.
‘Oh, that’s so romantic. Nobody’s ever quoted Shakespeare to me before. Jacob, if Daddy doesn’t like us being together, he can kill me too, as long as we’re buried side by side.’
He smiled lazily and reached for another condom from the dresser. He slid it on and pulled her on top of him, letting her slide down his still erect penis. He gazed at her firm breasts, her slightly round tummy and her defined hourglass shape and smiled, not believing his luck.
When they first met, he was with a group of his friends in a club who all thought she was beautiful and were all determined to sleep with her. She had refused in such a sharp and witty way that they were left stuttering in disbelief, and she had left having taken Jacob’s number. They met up the next day, and he had fallen in love with her infectious laughter, dazzling smile and her big green eyes.
He focussed back on her swan-like neck and rounded shoulders, her long fingers were tickling the inside of his knees as she leant back, her breasts jiggling as she bounced on him slightly. Her eyes closed for a second as the head of his penis had found her G spot and was prodding it gently. She opened her mouth, yet only a small strangled moan came out as she was so close to orgasm. He sat up and nibbled where her neck and shoulders joined; she wrapped one arm around his neck and bit into his shoulder as she came. She collapsed against him in pure bliss and they lay down together. Although he had not had an orgasm that time, he was content as he knew she had enjoyed every second of it.
‘Have I managed to persuade you to stay for the night? Why don’t you call a friend who has a key and they can feed the cat, then you can stay here and we can have that meal and that movie.’ She slipped off him and walked downstairs wearing nothing but his old shirt and a dreamy smile. He loved the way she managed to find his cheapest shirt and make it look like a designer one. Her legs were smooth and still slightly wet from the shower.
He pulled on a pair of boxers and went to join her in the kitchen. Her hair was pulled back loosely by a green ribbon which matched her eyes, and her manicured fingers were in pink gloves as she washed up the dirty dishes.
Sneaking up behind her, he landed a soft kiss on her neck and she giggled, stretching it so he could kiss it more. Nuzzling behind her ear, he murmured ‘come back to bed?’ She turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck, soapy water dripping down his bare back. Kissing him, she whispered ‘no, it’s too far away’.
He kissed her passionately as he undid the shirt buttons and dropped it to the floor, she stripped him of his boxer shorts and his cock sprung up with excitement, she giggled and pulled off the gloves sexily, leading him to the front room.
A cream sofa dominated the one wall and a large bay window showed the houses opposite and people walking their dogs by the aid of the street lamps. Winter had bought dark evenings and lashings of rain and snowy showers. A thick fluffy cream rug was placed over the painted black floor. A glass table lay at one end with six steel chairs around it. He pushed her onto the sofa and began to kiss down her body as there was a knock on the door.
‘Ignore it,’ he muttered into her bellybutton. The knocking continued and became more aggressive.
‘We’re out. What the hell?’ He had looked up and seen a face at the window. His mother hadn’t shut the curtains when she had left as it was still light; he jumped up and found his boxers in the kitchen, rushing to the door as Salix found the shirt and did up the buttons.
‘Yes?’ His face was a picture of sexual longing and annoyance. A short pale man was at the door holding a parcel. ‘Dad. What are you doing her? I told you I never wanted to see you again.’
‘Jacob, let me explain. I bought this to give to you.’
Jacob snatched the parcel from his father and rudely shut the door. Without looking at the parcel, he chucked it on the table beside the door and went to find Salix.
‘What did they want, sweetie?’ She was in the kitchen, sitting on the counter with a glass of orange juice in her hand.
‘Just a package delivery but he got a glimpse of you stark naked and me with a major stiff, which I have nearly lost.’ He laughed slightly and stood in front of the vision of beauty on the counter, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her closer.
She set down the glass and widened her legs for him to slot between them and wrapped them around his waist.
‘I can’t be bothered to move,’ she murmured. ‘Let’s do it here.’ She looked at him with a devilish sparkle in her eye and a mischievous smile; she tugged at his boxer shorts and they dropped to the floor once again.
As she ran her hands down his stomach, she felt his excited breath on her neck as she took his slightly limp penis in her hand. She squeezed slightly and rubbed it, he gave a moan and picked her up off the counter and over to the table. Setting her down, she gave a thrilled giggle as he knelt down in front of her. Spreading her legs, she felt his tongue flicker over her clitoris and labia and gave a moan. Holding his head, she wriggled to the edge of the table and lay back, waiting for the familiar tingle in her pelvis. She felt it build up, and was ready for the final flick of the tongue to tip her over the edge, yet it never came. She looked up and Jacob was standing over her with his penis in his hand, masturbating. She sat up and dragged him on top of her.
‘Take me, I’m so close,’ she begged him, yet he got off the table and stood at her feet. Seeing his penis twitch slightly, she knelt at his feet and confidently took it in her mouth, licking the head like a puppy dog and rubbing the base. He groaned and clutched the back of her head as she slid up and down the shaft, moaning as it edged further towards the back of her throat. Jacob’s breath was coming out in pants and groans as the intense orgasm built up.
‘Only me, darling.’ His mother burst through the kitchen door with numerous bags of groceries in each hand and dropped them all at the sight of her son naked in his kitchen with a nude woman at his feet. ‘Oh, I’m so sorry. So sorry.’ She rushed to shut the door and collapsed against the wall clutching her head, trying to shake the vision out of her thoughts.
Jacob and Salix hurriedly dressed in the boxers and shirt respectively and told Mollie she could come in.
Jacob had to open the door as his mother was not responding.
‘Sorry you had to see that mum; I thought you had gone home.’ His cheeks flushed red and he bent down to pick up the shopping which was dropped. Salix helped to put the groceries away as Jacob put the kettle on to make his shell shocked mother a drink. ‘You didn’t have to go shopping; I could’ve done that after work.’
‘I just wanted to help out love, thought you might be busy tomorrow with the court case and everything else that’s naked, I mean going on. I must dash, got to have dinner yet, don’t worry about the drink darling, I’m not really that thirsty.’
‘Before you go mum, there’s a parcel on the side table. It’s from Dad, can you take it with you? I don’t want it here.’
His mother nodded absent-mindedly and gathered the parcel, locking the door behind her. Jacob turned back to Salix.
‘My mum just caught me getting oral, did that just really happen?’ He clutched his head in confusion and Salix nodded.
‘Afraid so, baby, she caught us naked in your kitchen, I was giving you nosh. How funny, but disturbing. I didn’t really want your mother to see me naked; that should be a fun conversation starter at dinner parties. Oh, babes, don’t worry. She was freaked, but she’ll get over it. She was doing the same thing when she was our age.’
‘Doubt it, they probably hadn’t thought of it then. She saw us naked. In my kitchen. Giving oral.’ He crumpled against her in fits of laughter, and moaned that he had lost his orgasm.
‘I could get it back for you if you want?’ She winked suggestively at him, smiling naughtily.
‘No, thanks. I think I’m going to go to bed. You coming or you going home tonight? If you’re coming, can you turn off the light on your way up?’ He stumbled up the stairs, still in a daze at the event which had just occurred.
Salix turned off the lights and found the card which had fallen off the parcel. Opening it she read:

Jacob.
I wanted you to have this. I found it in the cupboard in the play room, thought you might want it for the future. Maybe we can meet up soon?
Love Dad
Xx

She thought it must have been a blanket or something like that, and she wished she would receive it in a few months time. She climbed the carpeted stairs and turned off the landing light as she went into the master bedroom. She climbed in beside Jacob and kissed his cheek before rolling over and turning off her light.
Soon, she felt an arm creep around her waist to her breasts and another between her legs. She gave a breathy moan as she opened her legs a little and felt Jacob’s erection return.
‘I thought you didn’t want your erection back?’ She pressed back against his warm body and her hand found his testicles. She gently massaged them, squeezing them occasionally as Jacob moaned in her ear. She turned around and lifted the covers so she could wrap one leg around his. As she shuffled closer to him, he guided her hands to his penis and she shuffled under the duvet to finish what she had started. He lay flat on his back and she lay between his legs, licking and sucking it at different speeds to intensify the situation.
Jacob loved being in control, and he couldn’t be with the duvet over them, so he threw it to the floor, revealing toned legs and bottom, a smooth back and perfectly shaped shoulders lounging on the bed between his legs. Salix looked up, aware of the coldness on her thighs and smiled at the man above her. She grasped the base of his erect penis and rubbed it as she licked the rest of it.
‘Oh, that’s so good Sal, oh god, you’ve got so good at this.’
She stopped temporarily, being put off by his comments, yet she continued anyway. She started to lick and rub faster, and his moaning became louder and more frequent. She knew how to make him orgasm, and how to tease him. She released the base and slowed right down, only licking occasionally, letting hot and cold air flow over the head. Suddenly, she grasped the base and rubbed it vigorously. He let out more groans and pushed her head down onto his penis so it touched the back of her throat. Feeling her throat contract around it tipped him over the edge and his sperm spurted out of his penis and down her throat with a long moan. Sitting up, she wiped her mouth with a finger as some had escaped.
He pulled her up to him and, forgetting about a condom, impaled her on his rigid cock. She let out a stifled groan as her clitoris grinded against his hip bone. He forced his penis into her further, harder and faster, making Salix moan loudly.
He held her hips with one hand and lifted and dropped her in time with his thrusts, rubbing her clitoris with his spare hand. She let out a high pitched groan as her orgasm reached the peak. She rubbed her breasts together, in a crazed mood of arousal. She leaned back as her orgasm built up in her loins, and watched her breasts bounce. She always knew Jacob was concentrating on her orgasm when he bit his bottom lip. She let out small pants as her orgasm built up further.
‘Oh my god, Jacob! Harder Jacob. Oh my gosh. Faster Jacob.’ Jacob loved her sexual orders and had lifted her off his cock and was now on top of her. She got on all fours, ready for the part which felt amazing for both of them. He entered her vagina again, but deeper this time and she could feel his foreskin moving inside her. Her orgasm erupted as she screamed and Jacob spurted inside her. She collapsed onto the bed, with Jacob still inside her. He withdrew and fell panting next to her. He planted a loving kiss on her shoulder and put an arm and a leg over her, as a sign of protection.
Salix had never had an orgasm like that before, and she was still panting for more, she loved having sex with Jacob as he was such an imaginative lover, and they complimented each other.
‘Can I ask you something? Have you been watching porn on the computer?’ He traced little shapes on her shoulder blade as he asked.
She stiffened up, ‘why?’
‘Because I was on the internet earlier, and a website came up in the history that I haven’t been on, it was teacher and pupil.’
She turned onto her back, showing her lack of pubic hair after a waxing appointment at the beauticians this morning. She sat up. ‘Ok, yeah I was, I was just looking for some while you were at work the other day, and I came across it, thought we could try it one night, if that’s ok with you?’ His eyes lit up like a child.
‘Really? You want to try it? Oh my god, let’s do it. Tomorrow.’ He smiled broadly at the thought of sexual role play in the bedroom.
Salix laughed and nodded. ‘The sooner you get the duvet up on us and go to sleep, the sooner you’ll be able to have me as a pupil in detention.’ She smiled and kissed Jacob as he got into bed beside her. ‘Night baby.’
‘Love you. I can’t believe Mum caught us in the kitchen.’ He mumbled incoherently as he drifted off to sleep with a smile on his face. Salix turned her back on him and reached for her mobile phone to text the person she was missing.
