i 'm not ready for our first date to be over just yet . |
she blushed and smiled and reached over to kiss me but then seemed to think better of it . |
so i was the one who held her head and pulled her the rest of the way . |
if there were any cameras around i did n't care in that moment . |
though i understood her concerns , she 'd explained about how precious her privacy had become since she 'd found stardom , how the simplest thing like running out for a carton of milk had now become a monumental task . |
that was something else i was going to have to take care of . |
i was n't sure from what she 'd said , what kind of security detail she had on a daily basis . |
i mean look how easy it had been for me to get to her and literally take her out of their hands . |
on top of her own star status , being linked with me might put her even more in the spotlight , so i was gon na have to take care of that first thing . |
i helped her out of the car and through the doors . |
she was wearing a pair of my jeans rolled at the ankles and around the waist , but of course she 'd made it look like a fashion statement . |
we made it up to her apartment with no interruptions and i was still holding her hand . |
i loved the look of her place , it was open space and airy with windows all around with a view of the park and a bit of the city skyline . |
it was nothing like mine , but it was n't shabby either . |
i saw little touches of her here , in the bright colors and soft throw pillows that she seemed to have a fondness for . |
she was back to being shy again but at lease it seemed to stem more from what i thought of her place this time . |
we 'd spent the day practically locked together in every way but one , so most of her reticence had melted away somewhat . |
`` i like it . |
grab some stuff you 're coming back with me . '' |
`` you ... i thought you said you were brining me home to take care of stuff and you 'll see me on monday ? '' |
i looked down at her as she turned that little innocent face up to me . |
`` i did say that baby , but i changed my mind . |
i 'm not ready for us to be apart . '' |
i had the fleeting thought that i may never be ready for that again , but squashed it . |
`` do you need help packing ? '' |
i thought i saw a bit of a smile touch the corners of her lips before she shook her head no . |
`` can i at least check my messages first ? '' |
`` sure . '' |
she walked over to the machine and hit play as she dropped into a chair . |
i walked over to the bank of windows with my hands stuffed in my pockets . |
the first few messages were just business as usual , but then coming onto the end there was some guy , maybe her manager who seemed very irate that he could n't get ahold of her . |
`` i thought you said you did n't have anything plan for the next little while ? '' |
`` i do n't that 's just carl 's way , he likes to know where i am at all times . '' |
`` hmm . '' |
it sounded like a bit more than that to me , but i let it got for now . |
i 'm a grown man , so that means when she 's with me this carl person could go f**k himself , because i did n't need anyone keeping tabs on me . |
there was nothing else worrying on there and she headed into her bedroom to pack after offering me a drink , which i turned down . |
i just wanted out of there and back home as soon as possible . |
somehow i felt easier with her in my bed , behind my walls . |
she came back out with an overnight bag and dressed in a pair of her own jeans and a pullover . |
i took the bag and with her hand in mine headed for the door . |
monday morning i had to go in early to the office , so i eased her out of my arms and went to the shower . |
she was still out by the time i was dressed and ready to go so i leaned over the bed and kissed her awake . |
`` hmmm . '' |
she sighed into my mouth as she awakened with my tongue in hers . |
i ended up sitting on the side of the bed and pulling her into my lap for a longer kiss . |
truth is i hated the thought of leaving her . |
the last two days had been like none i 'd ever shared and we had n't even left the house except to go to her place . |
we 'd spent all day sunday lazing around in bed reading the paper , talking or making out . |
i 'd already called my doctor and made the appointments adding pressure for him to rush the results which he assured me can be done . |
`` i 'll see you in a couple hours princess , the car will come and get you around ten thirty , okay ? '' |
i kissed her nose when she nodded against my chest and got up to leave . |
i did n't look back at her there in my bed in my old ratty tee shirt , i was sure i would n't want to leave her if i did . |
when it was time to send the car for her i changed my plans and instead of meeting her there i went after her myself . |
she was putting on her shoes when i came through the door and when she saw me standing there , f**k me if her whole face did n't light up and she made a running leap and jumped into the arms i had opened for her . |
`` hey beautiful , you missed me ? '' |
she sniffed my neck and nodded before i pulled her head around for my lips to find hers . |
`` we 'd better go , john promised me that if we did this early he could possibly get us the results by end of day today and i 'm afraid if we do n't i 'm gon na f**king explode . '' |
i pulled her down just enough for her to feel the evidence of my need . |
i had no doubts that she was clean and i was sure that i was , but somehow i wanted this , wanted us to start things off on the right foot . |
i ignored the little voice in my head that told me there was an ulterior motive behind my actions . |
there was no way i was thinking along those lines , no way in hell . |
shiane i wondered if he was always this attentive , or if as with all things new , this would change once he got what he wanted . |
will he start taking advantage of me as time went on ? |
he was like no other man i 'd ever known , except for maybe one . |
i 'd seen my dad treat my mom like a precious gem my whole life . |
it 's where i 'd got my dream of a prince charming . |
not from any storybook , but from the way i 'd seen my dad look at mom when he thought no one else was looking . |
or the way she was always looking to him when things went south . |
they 'd taught me to want that bond , to hold out for that and nothing less . |
trace seemed to have that in him , but i 'd been burnt once and my heart was a little gun shy . |
it had only been a few weeks since it was shattered after all . |
but here i was with sweaty palms and weak knees over this guy that i barely knew . |
the weekend had been the best one i 'd had in a long time . |
in fact i have n't felt that relaxed since the last time i 'd taken a trip home . |
neither of us seemed ready for the intrusion of the world just yet . |
we wanted to enjoy getting to know each other without all the speculation and other nonsense that came with stardom . |
downstairs there were two men in suits who looked like they 'd never smiled a day in their lives . |
`` this is your security , i 'm sure you have some already for business purposes , but these two are from me . |
they 'll shadow everywhere when i 'm not with you . |
my eyes widened at that . |
`` is that really necessary ? |
i 'm not that big of a star yet i do n't think . '' |
i tried laughing it off as he introduced me to the two and pulled me out the doors behind him . |
`` this has nothing to do with your status , it 's for my peace of mind . '' |
i started to wonder if this was something he 'd done for all the women in his past and why that should make me jealous . |
he squeezed my hand and looked down at me . |
`` no , you 're the first . '' |
`` how did you know what i was thinking ? '' |
`` i told you , the weekend was about getting to know each other , i picked up a few things . '' |
he smirked as he helped me into the back of the town car . |
i 'd told him of my fear of needles so he held my hand and talked to me while the doctor and the nurse did their thing , before having his taken care of . |
it did n't take that long and soon we were back in the car . |
`` i 'm taking you to the office for a quick tour and then it 's lunch . |
we 'll go somewhere that i 'm sure we 'd be left alone , i 'm not quite ready to share us yet . '' |
i rested my head on his shoulder and squeezed his hand that was still holding onto mine . |
i think he must 've planned this and warned everyone in the building not to give me the star treatment because i saw a lot of interested looks from his employees , but no one said anything more than a friendly hello . |
it was great . |
lunch was in a private room in one of the city 's more upscale restaurants where there were more a list stars than i 'd ever seen in one place at once except maybe an awards show . |
i was the one star-struck . |
