Ohne Dich - Germany! Chapter 11

Chapter 11: One, Two, Freddy's coming for you...

Ludwig didn't stay at the house very long. He stayed at his parents' house for two weeks and then it was back to the military, leaving me alone five of the seven days in the week. I didn't mind it that much though. Yes, I was very addicted to him now that he was my boyfriend and yes, I didn't want to spend a second without him, but I had tried this before with just seeing him in the weekends so I was sure I'd pull through.
Carly and Gilbert were being real buttholes about our relationship though, always going on and on about how we should "do it" and "do what grown-ups do". I had no doubt Ludwig wanted to, in fact, I KNEW he wanted to. Numerous times I'd make out with him during the weekends we got to spend together, and I loved every second of it, but it stopped the second he seemed to lose control. I wanted him too, of course I did, but I wasn't as old as him and though I had never asked, I was sure he had had other women before me and I didn't blame him at all, but I wasn't ready! I was worried I'd do something wrong and that he'd find my body repulsive since the scars on my arms and back reflected the gloomy past I had.

A year passed fast and the boys' parents went back to Germany for who knew how long! This meant Ludwig and I shared the house with two people who acted like children most of the time and he was only there to help during the weekends. Carly might be slightly crazy and do weird stuff, but Gilbert was just as crazy as she was and together they were like a tornado of destruction raging through the house.
If they had to cook they'd end up with a food fight EVERY time! If they had to clean some place in the house they usually left it in a worse mess than when they started.
Gilbert and Ludwig were real brothers too. We didn't get to see it before when we only saw them together in the weekend, but living with them we got to experience it all! Gilbert loved pushing Ludwig's buttons, provoking him when he could and sometimes Ludwig with punch him right in the face! Carly and I had given up trying to get in between, instead we sat down and watched the show and made bets on who would win. Ludwig usually did, but it was still fun trying to get the most of the situation even though they came out of it battered and bruised every now and then.

It was Saturday evening and the weather had been absolutely awful this weekend so far. Ludwig and I had been taking the dogs for their walks but the rain and thunder made even the dogs rush through it all. They didn't enjoy the weather either and were happy to get back inside where it was dry and warm.
Gilbert and Carly were preparing dinner and both Ludwig and I knew what that meant: Loads of cleaning for us to do afterwards, but it was okay. Then we could let the two maniacs go burn off some energy and get some alone time, just him and me.
By the time we walked through the front door we could hear Carly laugh and scream loudly. I suspected the food fight to be on already. They had prepared to make sushi which I was very excited about since I had never had it before, but with their way of cooking we might as well order some take-out.
Ludwig looked at me with a sigh "Do you vant zu stop zhem or shall I?"
I laughed "You are the best at yelling so I'll leave you to it" I said and grabbed a towel in a cabinet to dry off the dogs. They were wagging their tails patiently, knowing that they were not supposed to walk around the house with wet paws.
"You owe me vone für zhis" Ludwig said as he hung up his coat and marched to the kitchen.
I kneeled in front of Aster and started rubbing the Golden Retriever's paws with the towel.
"You two cut it out!" I heard Ludwig yell "Zhis looks like a varzone! You vere supposed zu cook so get zhis mess cleaned up and start doing vhat you vere planned zo!"
The giggling continued a little and followed by more yelling. Then it turned quiet and Ludwig came out with and angry face and twitching eyebrows.
"How bad was it?" I asked as I let the dogs go.
"Zhe cleaning vill take some time today" He said angrily.
I gave his arm a squeeze "At least I'll help you"
He smiled a little, softening up slowly "I knov. I just vish zhey vould grov up soon"
"They never will" I said, shaking my head with a smile.

I kissed his lips gently and gave his hand a little squeeze before taking a chance by entering the kitchen.
"HAIAAAAAAA!" Carly yelled, chopping some fish into pieces.
"SUSHITIME!" Gilbert yelled and followed her lead.
They were clearly having a blast, the smiles on their faces just seemed like they wouldn't come off.
"Alright, Mr. And Mrs. Sushi chef, when is dinner ready?" I asked.
"Sushi-Carly does not know. Sushi-Carly has just been in Sushi-war with Sushi-Gilbert and so Sushi-Carly spent all her food as ammunition" She said, bowing like a Japanese person.
I laughed loudly at her, she was unbelievable!
"5 minutes" Gilbert said quietly with a smirk as Carly continued playing and looked in the direction of the fridge.
Clearly he had saved some, well aware what their meal preparation time always resulted in.
I smiled at him and started setting the table. Soon Ludwig joined us and looked at what Carly was doing. She was preparing a large plate with sushi forming a smiley, and Gilbert took his brothers moment of distraction and used it to his advantage.
"Vhat's up kleine bruder?" He grabbed Ludwig's head and messed up his hair, causing Ludwig to cut a face and growl at him.
"Zhere you go, so much better than before!" He exclaimed, looking at Ludwig's hair.
"Vhat are you doing you moron? Can't you just mind your own business vonce in a vhile?" Ludwig yelled.
I quickly cut in though because dinner was ready and if they got started we wouldn't get a bite to eat.
"Okay, boys, please! It's dinnertime, don't be like this" I said, resting a hand on Ludwig's cheek.
I felt how he let a huge breath of air out of his lounges, like a beast calming down.
"Hah, having you voman fight your..."
"Shut your pie-hole and go eat Gilbert!" I said angrily.

He shut up and hastily went to sit down. Ludwig was still looking angry though and I carefully ran my fingers through his hair, making it fall back in place little by little.
He smiled a little and grabbed my hand, pressing it against his cheek with a faint smile.
"Danke schön Liebe" He said, kissing my hand once and lead me to the dinner table.
He held out my chair and I pecked his cheek before I sat down, causing him to blush lightly. He could be so sweet when he felt awkward!
Carly was already getting at it, eating like she was never going to be fed again, cheeks stuffed round like a hamster's.
"Hungry Carly?" I asked with a smile.
She nodded eagerly "Yeees, and this is so gooooood!"
I laughed and tried a piece. It was good!
"So... Have Gilbert told you what we're going to watch tonight?" I asked, taking another bite of sushi.
She nodded nervously "We're going to watch The Nightmare On Elm Street!"
I giggled. I had seen it before and wasn't that scared by Freddy Krueger and his sharp fingers, but I liked it so it would be okay! Carly was a chicken when it came to horror movies though...

Ludwig cleaned the kitchen after dinner and I prepared the snacks. It was impossible to watch a film like this with no popcorn!
As the popcorn was finishing itself I sat on the counter, watching Ludwig thoroughly clean the kitchen.
"You're going to wear things out as much as you're scrubbing" I chuckled.
"It needs zu be clean!" He growled, causing me to laugh even more.
"Are you compensating for something with this cleanness of yours?" I asked with a devious smile.
He froze for a second and turned suddenly to look at me "Vhat kind of zhing ist zhat zu say?" He yelled.
This was so amusing!
I made a sexy pose on the kitchen table "Have you been a bad boy Liebling?" I asked teasingly, sending him a dirty look.
He did nothing; he just stared at me with an open mouth and blushing cheeks.
I signed for him to come over and he obeyed, still with a stunned look on his face.
I grabbed his shirt and pulled his face closer to mine "Have you been a bad boy?" I asked again, keeping a straight and serious face.
I heard him swallow heavily and felt his heart beating hard and fast against my hand on his chest. I was about to say something to him but he kissed me roughly with a sigh, pulling me close.
There was something hot about this entire situation and it felt how it turned him on. He was rougher, wilder, more demanding and his kisses were greedily trying to crave more of me, but I pushed him away gently. We were both panting heavily, gasping for air.
"Not here Luddy, I'm not ready" I whispered sadly "I didn't mean to lead you on. I'm sorry"
"It's okay" He answered, placing his head on my chest "You're just too irresistible vhen you do zhat"
I felt bad for what my game had done to him and stroke his cheek "Let's go watch that movie, okay?"
He nodded and stood up straight, pulling me with him. His hair was a mess for the second time tonight, but this time I didn't bother putting it back in place and so he raised his hand to do it instead. I grabbed his wrist and shook my head.
"Leave it, it makes you look so incredibly beautiful"
He smiled at me "as you vish"

I put the popcorn in a bowl and brought it to the living room to a most surprising view. Carly and Gilbert were in a hot embrace, practically sucking off the face of the other as if there was no tomorrow. For once it was my turn to interrupt them.
I cleared my throat loudly "AHERM!"
They flew apart like two projectiles, looking at their surroundings with panic in their eyes.
I giggled and looked at Ludwig: Even he had a vague smile on his lips, struggling not to laugh.
"What is it you always tell us? Oh right... If you're going to gnaw each others' faces off then get a room" I said, looking at Gilbert.
"Vhat are you talking about? Nozhing happened!" Gilbert started.
"Yeah, we were just... I had something in my eye and Gilbert helped me get it out" Carly lied.
I laughed "Really? You're going with the 'I got something in my eye' excuse? Please..."
"I did!" She insisted, looking at Gilbert to make him back her up.
"J-j-ja! She had somezhing in her eye" He tried, not convincing at all.
I nodded "That's nice Gil, come back when you know how to lie properly"
"I can't believe you're calling me crazy and you won't believe me when I say I didn't kiss Gilbert!"
"I never mentioned anything about a kiss" I said with a devious grin.
"Oh you... argh! You trapped me there" She said, crossing her arms.
"Or outsmarted you" I said with a wink.
She pointed her tongue at me but laughed afterwards. I grabbed Ludwig's hand and we sat down in the other end of the couch. I curled up against his chest and started the film with the remote.
It was only a minute or two into the film and Carly quickly curled up against Gilberts chest with fear written all over her face.
"Frau, are you alright?" He asked carefully.
"Never better!" She said, sitting herself up straight.
She was like that through the entire film: stiff as a board. I comfortably watched the film in Ludwig's embrace, Carly just sat there with fear in her eyes and refusing to admit she was scared.

I was almost asleep by the time the film ended. Ludwig was stroking my back and had his cheek resting on my head. Carly was still stiff as a board and I just couldn't help myself and started singing:
"One, two, Freddy's coming for you"
She looked at me with big eyes.
"Three, four, better lock your door"
"Stop it" She hissed silently, in the hope Gilbert wouldn't hear her.
"Five, six, grab your crucifix"
I could sense a silent chuckle coming from Ludwig's chest.
"Seven, eight, better stay up late"
"Enough!" Carly hissed a little louder.
"Nine, ten, never sleep again!" I finished with a big grin "Ouch!"
She pinched my foot hard with an angry look on her face.
Ludwig and I started laughing at her and she looked like she was thinking of every way she could possibly get me back for this.
"Low blow, very low blow" She grumbled "I guess it's your way of letting out your sexual frustration from not getting laid. Take it out on the crazy girl"
"That is so not true" I said, still laughing.
"I bet Ludwig has a boner right now!" Gilbert joined in.
"Shut up, bruder!" Ludwig yelled with a tint of pink on his cheeks.
"Oh, but you two have been together for like... for evaaah!" Carly said dramatically "Why aren't you making babies yet?"
I face palmed "Carly, I don't want children... At least not right now" I felt how my cheeks started to blush. She got me back good!
"If you don't get your act together you're going to die a virgin!" She kept going.
"You're no better than me!" I desperately tried to defend myself.
"I haven't been in a relationship for a year either" she said, pointing her tongue at me.
I sighed and looked at Ludwig: His face was serious, squeezing the corner of his eyes with his fingers as if he was trying to keep himself calm.
I rubbed his chest and he looked at me "I zhink es ist time zu go zu bett" He said, suddenly sounding very tired.
He got up and left for his room without another word.
"Orh, Vest, come ooon!" Gilbert yelled after him "Ve vere just teasing"
"Why do you call him West?" Carly asked.
"Oh, no reason. Old nickname from when we were kids" Gilbert said carelessly.
We heard Ludwig's door slam upstairs.
"I think I'm going to clean this up and go check on him" I said and picked up the dishes.

As I placed the last glass in the dishwasher I sighed, thinking about what had upset Ludwig. It wasn't like him to walk out like that when they teased us, but on the other hand: They had been worse than usual tonight.
I silently walked up the stairs and stopped by his door, knocking it lightly.
"Luddy, it's me. Can I come in?"
There was no answer. Was he asleep already? I took the risk and opened the door.
He was sitting on his bed with his face buried in his hands, not speaking a word. I sat down beside him and rested a hand on his back.
"Are you okay?"
He folded his hands under his chin with a small nod "I'm fine, zhank you. Sorry for storming out like zhat"
"It's okay" I said silently and took one of his hands in mine, squeezing it lightly.
"it's just zhis entire sex zhing" his voice instantly got louder, filled with frustration.
"Because it hasn't happened yet?"
"Ja und nein... I vont push you liebe, not at all! Aber I vould lie if I said I didn't vant zu. And nov zhe babies..."
"Wait... You are bothered about the children part they brought up?"
"Ja. Vhat if ve do it und I get you pregnant vithout you being ready?" He looked at me with big, desperate eyes.
I rested my free hand on his cheek, looking deep into his beautiful blue orbs "That won't happen Luddy. And when it happens I'm sure I'll be happy because it'll be you and me I will be carrying"
He smiled lightly, not completely convinced "I guess zhat ist gut dann..."
I nodded and leaned over, placing a soft kiss on his lips which he happily returned.
"I think it's time to go to bed" I said silently after we parted.
He nodded and I pecked his cheek.
"Gute Nacht, schöner Mann. Ich liebe dich" I said with a smile.
He returned the smile and squeezed my hand before I left "Ich liebe dich auch Frau. Guten Nacht, Traum über mich"

I was going to see my doctor as the first thing Monday to discuss birth control!
