Chapter 11: Taking Charge

A little shorter. Should have another one up in a couple of days :) I told you guys I'm on a roll haha :D !!

''Shit! Ohh my god, he can't see you here. Hide in the closet or something,'' I tried to stay as quietly as I could. My agent was on the other side of the door and he usually wasn't happy about me seeing people. Thinking it would distract me from my career.

''Ughh, just coming. Let me get dressed first.'' I tried to chuckle but the panic running through me wasn't helping. I was pushing Max through to my bedroom. Where to put a fully grown man? ''In here,'' I shoved him into my en suite and shut the door behind him.

Running to the door to my suite I glanced in the mirror and saw that I was noticeably flushed. My cheeks were crimson. Fuck it. I swung open the door and plastered a smile on my face. He pushed past me and plopped down on the sofa Max and I had just been sitting on.

''Okay so lets go over the days itinerary,'' He started and began to drone on and on for what seemed like a good half and hour. What if Max had to be somewhere? I wasn't listening to a word Tony was saying but instead was considering everything that had happened before he arrived. We kissed for sure but only lightly and the looks were exchanging were undeniable.

''Marissa darling, are you listening?'' I was brought out my trance by his highly annoying voice.

''What? Yeah, of course,'' I tried to be as convincing as possibly but I wasn't sure he buying it by the look on his face.

''What color have you decided?'' Ohh shit.

''Umm, blue?''

''Blue?'' Crap.

''No black,'' I hoped this was the answer he was looking for or I'd be going through all the colors of the rainbow.

''Much better, now can I use your bathroom?'' He asked a question but didn't wait for the answer as he started moving towards my bedroom and the en suite where Max was hiding. I ran on ahead and just as he reached the door I dived in front of him.

''Toilets broken, sorry.'' I was never any good at lying but usually my natural talent for acting came through and saved the day.

''Ohh,'' His mouth shaped into the sound he was making. ''Okay then I'll see you in an hour, I'll just show myself out.'' I think he now thought I was little crazy with my diving stunt. I still had no idea about my plans for the day but I was sure I could remember him leaving a list of everything on the coffee table.

I swung open the door of the bathroom and saw Max sitting on the floor, his back up against the wall, reading Vogue. He glanced above the magazine and grinned a cheeky little smile.

''I didn't know turquoise was the color for the season, must bear it in mind next time I go shopping, '' I couldn't help but laugh at him. He was so immature but in such sweet way. ''I should probably go, I have practice in half an hour,'' He stood up and brushed of his jeans and checked shirt, I was sure only he could pull something like that off.

''I was worried, that you had to be somewhere.'' I smiled weakly, thought of earlier still running though my head. ''Would you like to have dinner tomorrow night?'' The words were out my mouth before I could stop them. I never asked guys out but this time I appeared to be taking charge. A new me perhaps?

''Wow, I usually alway have to ask but yeah. I'd like that.'' He started. ''But as long as I pick you up, you know thats the guy, ughh, thing to do.'' He let out yet another nervous laugh. What is with this guy? He's got a rep for being a womanizer so whats the deal?

We got to the door and both of just stood there awkwardly. This time though he took charge. He put a hand on either side of my hips and brought me swiftly towards him. Moving his hands up to the side of my head, he looked at me with unmistakable desire before pressing his lips to mine in a searing hot kiss, running his tongue along my bottom lip, me granting him entrance easily. Then he pulled away, smiled and walked out the door. Leaving me wanting so much more.

I opened the door to see Leo looking like an excited teenager. Sometimes I swear there's something wrong with this man.

''Well what happened? I saw him leaving your room,'' He sounded like a woman. An eager little puppy. He wanted to know about my escapades more than likely because he wasn't getting any himself.

''Come in and I'll tell you,'' I laughed and couldn't help but smile as I placed a hand to my lips still feeling the tingles that Max had left. Maybe I need a little romance.

Chapter 10: The Moment

Nearly 2 month since I update but now I'm back on track! YAY! Here's an update, hopefully get another up tonight :) I'm so sorry for the wait, lets get this show on the road haha :D. Thank you soooo much for all the comments :D

No it can't be, he can't be gone.

''I'm sorry darling but he passed away a few hours ago, we didn't want to wake you.''

No! No, this was never supposed to happen!

I woke to a familiar smell. One of eggs, bacon and orange juice. Wanting to savor my last moments of sleep I didn't bother opening my eyes. Then I felt the bed shift and my eyes darted open.

''Hey sleep head,'' He smiled as I mentally worked out how the hell he could of gotten in here, the security is meant to be patrolling the lobby.

''How the fuck did you get in here!'' I shouted as I gathered up the bed clothes wrapping them around my semi-naked body and moving off the bed.

''Relax, don't worry. I know the receptionist, she gave me a key. I just figured you could use some cheering up after last night.'' He started the puppy dog eyes but I'd be damned if I let him get round me that easily.

''You can't just come in here, what if I'd been naked!'' I said a little confused the more I thought about what his intentions could be.

''Well them all the more fun for me. Come on, calm down I was only being thoughtful,'' He continued on.

''What's that smell?'' I snapped as my senses came back to me.

''Through in the living room, I ordered breakfast,'' He grinned like he had just won a prize.

I shuffled as best I could through to the lounge area my suite had and was amazed at the amount of food that was laid out on the glass table that sat in between the two cream couches. Everything I could ever of imagined sat steaming hot, he must of ordered the whole breakfast menu.

''I didn't know what you liked so I just decided to order what I like which is pretty much everything,'' He chuckled a little before moving round beside me and sliding an arm around my waist.

''Umm, I think I'm just gonna jump in a quick shower, won't be long,'' I felt a little uncomfortable with bed head hair and very little on, especially with him standing so close to me.

I jumped in the shower still trying to process everything. I figured I should call my therapist now that my nightmares were returning, it hadn't happened in a long while and we had discovered that it was only when I was emotional that they occurred but it could wait for now. I was more concerned about the large hockey player currently sitting on my couch, wondering the hell he would even think to come here, let along bring me breakfast. Men their worse than us women.

I decided just to slip on some shorts and a white tank top, blast my hair with the dryer and not really bother with how I looked. He was cute though, so maybe I should make a little effort. Just as I reached the door I darted back and dabbed some make up on my cheeks. Why on earth am I doing this?

''I started but don't worry I left plenty for you,'' All of sudden he seemed quite nervous as I sat down beside him giving him a small smile.

As we ate I studied him, he really was quite handsome. A little rough around the edges but I didn't want perfection. Perfections just boring. You don't need a man or a relationship, your independent. I tried feeding myself a big fat lie but everything ended up at his eyes, they were so understated. Every time I thought about something or tried to distract myself I looked at them and felt completely under his spell.

I was still quite mad at him for just assuming I would be okay with him just waltzing into my room but as he turned and held gaze all the rage suddenly left my body leaving me feeling slightly weak and with a feeling I was unaccustomed to.

He slid closer to where I was sitting, still peering deep in my eyes. Lifting his hand to sweep a stray strand of hair from face. The pad of his thumb rubbed along my cheek, drawing me into his touch. ''Your so beautiful,'' he whispered as leaned in, I felt his hot breath on my lips and shut my eyes. His lips touched mine ever so softly.

''Marissa, you awake,'' A banging came on the door, pulling us out of our moment. Damn.
