Note: Missing scene between Auggie's arrival in Colombia and the "we wait, we dance" scene. Was I the only one who thought Annie's hair was kind of disheveled in that scene, after being so neatly tied back when she greeted Auggie in the hotel lobby?
"You're here," she said unnecessarily as she kissed him one more time.
"I am, you're not mad, are you?" he echoed her question from earlier.
"No, if I didn't want you to come I wouldn't have given the note to Eric or the note would have said I was going to the podiatrist or something," she slid her hands beneath his jacket and felt the heat from his body radiate through the soft material of his shirt.
"You keep wearing those heels and you will need a podiatrist," he smiled easily but she could feel his muscles contract under her touch.
"You hungry?" she asked.
"Nah, I ate on the plane. What time is the meet?"
"Five," she glanced at her watch, "and it is only 3:00 now."
"Time for a siesta," he ventured casually.
"You tired?" her brow furrowed with concern.
"Not at all," he grinned and kissed her again.
"You didn't get a room, did you?" she asked suddenly nervous.
"Um, no, but I can," he indicated the area he thought to be the front desk.
"No, no," she intercepted his hand and tried not to sound too flustered by the newness of it all.
Without another word she turned and he took her elbow like he had hundreds of times before and she led him to her room and opened the door. The awkward returned for a few seconds after the door snitched closed and then she was in his arms and her lips were warm on his.
They were quickly a tangle of coats, clothes and bags, Annie kicking stuff out of Auggie's way as she nearly dragged him to the bed.
Auggie's large hands swept over Annie's head and he pulled back.
"Where's your hair?" he grinned.
"I tied it back, it's humid here," she giggled as she felt him feel his way to the clip in the back.
He released her hair and it fell over his fingers, which he instantly curled into it, pulling her closer, on top of him.
"This could be dangerous?" she whispered.
"What?" he whispered back.
"How much I want you."
***555***
Annie wanted to stay in bed with Auggie all afternoon, but she also didn't fly all the way to Colombia to miss her meet. She cajoled him out of bed at 4:30 with little time to get ready. They washed up and Auggie gathered the clothes she had removed from him earlier while she grabbed a dress from the closet and slipped it over her head.
She attempted to get a brush through her hair and threw on a little make up but she was really glad they were just meeting a sleazy bank manager and not someone important.
"How is it you look relaxed and wrinkle-free and I look like I just got out of bed?" she ran her fingers through his hair.
His hands found her hips and smoothed the fabric down along her thighs, she stopped him before he realized how short the dress was, figuring they might not actually make it to the meet.
"The sooner we meet this guy, the sooner we can come back here," she assured him.
