now.”
“It’s settled then,” Grayson said as if he had come to some decision.
“What’s settled then?”
“We’ll go there tomorrow for lunch.”
“Didn’t you just tell me that you had an early call time tomorrow?”
“I do, but we break for lunch between one and three tomorrow while they setup some of the final sequences.”
“I don’t know Grayson. It’s not really a fancy place, like you are probably used to. It’s a small, family type place.”
“That sounds perfect to me. I’ll pick you up just after one tomorrow and you’ll show me just what I’ve been missing.”
I giggled. He seemed so normal sometimes, it’s hard to believe he was this huge movie star when he put on his regular Joe persona.
Grayson stood up and helped me out of my chair before leading me out of the restaurant, with his bodyguard nearby. By the time we got outside of the hotel, the car was just pulling up. The bodyguard opened the door for us and helped us get into the back of the limousine before he went and sat in the front, with the driver, giving Grayson and I our privacy.
As I sat next to him, I couldn’t help but glance over at him a few times and wonder what he was thinking. Was he going to kiss me? Did he want to kiss me? Was he disappointed that I didn’t go up to his room with him after dinner like Jennifer had with Ethan?
Finally, I couldn’t stand the tension anymore so I leaned over and kissed him. He seemed surprised at first but soon he took possession of my lips and our innocent kiss became heated.
My heart picked up pace as his large arms wrapped around me, pressing me closer. The extra touch sparked a fever between us as our tongues curled around each other in a brain melting kiss.
He pulled me on top of his lap and for some reason, I went willingly. His lips moved to my jaw and neck. My stomach fluttered with each press of his mouth against my sensitive flesh.
I’d never done anything like that before. Okay, sure I’ve kissed guys before but never while in the back of a limousine and never while sitting on their lap. I could feel his erection pressing against me.
A rush of shameful heat pooled between my legs and I felt myself losing control. I broke off from the kiss and as I did, he reached up to cradle my face in his hands. I needed space but at the same time I wanted him to continue kissing me.
“I’m sorry,” he whispered as he helped me back to my seat. “I didn’t mean for that to happen.”
I didn’t respond. What could I say? I didn’t mean for that to happen either, but it did and now it was all I could think about. I don’t know that I would ever be able to get the taste of his kiss, the way his hands felt on my skin, the way it felt when he crushed my body against his, out of my mind.
When the car pulled up in front of my house and the bodyguard opened the door, Grayson got out first and then held up his hand to help me exit the car. He walked me to the door and when he did, he placed a chaste kiss on my cheek.
“Thank you for going out to dinner with me tonight. I’ll see you tomorrow just after one, okay?”
“Alright. I’ll see you then,” I said as I walked in my door and shut it behind me.
I tried not to think about Jennifer running off with Ethan like she did. What is wrong with that girl? She does this all the time. She meets some guy and rushes into the serious stuff and then wonders why their relationship never works out.
The sad part is, she’s a great girl. She’s pretty, smart and has a bubbly personality. She could be the whole package if she would just stop doing stupid things like she did tonight with Ethan.
Chapter Four
The next morning, I got up earlier than normal and decided to go for a run. I needed to clear my head.
An hour later I was good and sweaty when I finished the last lap around the campus track. I saw a large crowd start to form just where I was headed. I looked around, wondering what in the world was going on. Was someone
