| PARADISE CITY by Prologue2history PART 3 Anna reached for her jeans, James had put them over the radiator while she’d been asleep, so they’d dried nicely. Smiling at this small gesture, Anna put them on and reached for the sequinned vest she’d worn the night before, not really something she wanted to walk down the main street of the town or even less, go for breakfast in! James emerged from the bathroom, fully dressed and looking more gorgeous than before in a soft green t shirt and black jeans. “You can’t go out in that” he laughed, seeming to read Anna’s mind he reached into a bag and took out a white shirt and passed it to her “put this on, it’ll be a bit big, but it’ll do” “Thanks” said Anna pulling it on and fastening the buttons and breathing in the smell, it was freshly laundered but still carried a scent of James’ aftershave. As it was fitted, it wasn’t too baggy and looking in the mirror as she rolled up the sleeves, Anna thought it looked ok. “You look fantastic” breathed James “Um, thanks” Anna felt herself blush. They met Nicky and Sean in the hotel lobby and set out for breakfast at the café near to Anna’s house. Afterwards, Nicky and Sean headed back to the hotel to pack and check out. As James settled the bill be called over to Sean “I’m going to see Anna home, I’ll catch up later” turning to Anna he smiled “Ok, where to now?” “Well, I could do with getting changed” she replied “how about a cup of tea at my place?” “Sounds good to me” smiled James, taking her hand “which way?” Anna’s mind was racing as they walked along her street, had she tidied up? What state was the kitchen in? She really couldn’t remember and wasn’t renowned for her tidiness. “Um, this is me… sorry in advance if it’s a mess” she said as she fumbled to unlock the front door. She left James downstairs making tea and dashed upstairs to change. Flinging her wardrobe open she thought quickly about what to wear. Here she was, in her bedroom, looking for an outfit with a gorgeous rock star downstairs…. What the hell could she wear? Once dressed, she looked at herself in the mirror, realising how tired she looked Anna scrabbled for her makeup bag. She brushed her hair and looked in the mirror again then froze, she could hear James strumming on a guitar. Anna’s guitar was a battered acoustic that she struggled play properly, but kept propped in the corner of the front room anyway. Anna went back downstairs. James was sitting on the sofa, softly strumming the guitar. He stopped as she sat next to him. “Don’t stop” said Anna “I’m surprised you can get a tune out of it” “Sweetheart, I can get a tune out of anything” said James in a mock American accent and they both burst out laughing. James looked at Anna for a long time without saying anything. She could feel his eyes studying hers "What's wrong?" she asked. "Nothing, just thinking" He replied with a smile "About..?" asked Anna "What am I doing, sitting playing guitar with a hot girl like you sitting next to me, when you've gone and got dressed up specially" Anna felt herself blush as James set the guitar down against the wall and sat back down next to her. "I didn't mean to make you feel awkward" said James quickly. Leaning towards Anna he kissed her softly, putting his arms around her as he did so. Anna reached up to run her hand over James' cheek, stroking the contour of his neck coming to rest at his shoulder. She found herself kissing back harder, exploring James' mouth with her tongue, feeling a thrilling jolt as he did the same. part 4 <<< Prologue2history's stories |
