A/N: Not really sure yet if this will be another chapter story or a oneshot. I'm relying on great reviewers to tell me which. I'll have this as a work-in-progress for now, but lemme know it seems like a good oneshot. REVIEW PLEASE!
It started out as a laughing matter. Something they both felt awkward doing. But then, Junior looked at her in that way that made her feel like she was a goddess, and she melted as he kissed her deeply. His hands were placed around her face as her arms slipped around his waist. Then her arms slipped around his neck and his went around his waist. They forgot the camera was there and got lost in the kiss.
"Cut," the director yelled for the fourth time. This woke both of them up and they finally broke away, leaning their heads against each other.
"I miss you. I miss you so much, Kris. Can't we just start over?" Junior asked softly looking her in the eyes.
"I- I don't know if-" Kris stopped. She didn't know what to say.
Knowing he had rendered her speechless, Junior said, "Come over to my place for dinner. I can show you around. Just as friends, of course," he said with a smirk.
"I-I can't Junior. I really can't," Kris said getting her voice back.
"Ok, I'll see you at seven then," Junior said softly kissing her lips again before he walked away.
She smiled and went to her trailer to get ready. It was already six, so she had to get ready quickly. She layed out a beautiful green dress with sparkles on it and went to shower. She got out of the shower and slipped on the dress, marveling at it in the mirror. She applied some makeup and blow-dried her hair. By this time it was 6:45. She would be a little early, but it didn't really matter that much if it was Junior. She got into her car and drove off.
He was nervous. He was nervous and holding a knife. Never a good combination. He continued cutting the lettuce for the salad, and then he went to check on the steaks that were on the grill. They were done, so he took them off and put them on a plate. "Crap," he said to himself. "I haven't even changed yet." Since the salad was done, and all he had left was to place everything on the table, he went to his room and picked out a gray button up shirt and some black pants. He wasn't exactly sure if that was the type of dress this evening called for, but it would work. He changed and went back into the kitchen, opening a bottle of red wine and pouring each of the glasses half full. He placed the salad bowl, steaks, and wine on the table.
Just then the doorbell rang. Oh no, Junior thought. Okay, just relax. It's Kris, Junior told himself. The doorbell rang a few more times, a little more urgently. He briskly walked to the door and opened it. A stunning sight met his eyes. He swore he'd never seen Kris look like this before. He definitely hadn't seen a dress like this on her before. She blushed and he realized he was gaping at her.
He closed his mouth and smiled. "Come on in," Junior said. "I can take your coat," he said slipping it off of her. She shivered a little bit, partly from the chilliness of Junior's apartment, partly because of how he looked. His shirt made his eyes an even darker brown, and more mischievous-looking. Although that could have been the way he looked at her when she came in, too.
"So, this is the place," Junior said to her, gesturing around the grand area of the apartment. "Would you like the complete tour now, or after dinner?" he asked.
"Umm... Now's fine," Kris said a little nervously.
"Ok then. Well this is the living room and kitchen area. It also kind of doubles as a dining room," he said opening his arms out wide. "Ok, so that's kinda the main part of the apartment," he stated.
"Cool," Kris said, not knowing what to say.
He loved that he was having this effect on her. But, he wouldn't allude to the fact she was making him feel the same way. He would remain calm, cool, sexy Junior for the time being. He led her down the hallway, to his bedroom.
"And this is my room. A little cleaner than it is most days," he said smiling.
Kris gave a small laugh. "Neat," she said, mad at herself for picking this particular night to be master of the mono-syllable.
"Yeah," Junior said, smirking. He took a step closer to her, leaning in a little. His breath was right on her lips and he could tell he was making her crazy. He loved that. He loved her. He loved that they knew each other so well and knew exactly what the other was thinking or feeling. "It is," he whispered on her lips before pulling away from her.
Why is he doing this to me? Kris asked as he pulled away from her. He can read me so well, and I know he knows that made me insane. He teased me, and I hate that so much.
They walked out of the room and back out into the hallway. They went right back to the tour, Junior showing Kris where the two bathrooms were, and the guest bedroom. They got back to the kitchen and Junior offered Kris a glass of wine. She took it gladly, hoping it would help her to relax. They sat on the couch, Kris staring at the floor unaware of the way Junior was gazing at her.
She looked so beautiful. The dress made specks of green peek out in her eyes. Specks that he'd never seen before, but longed to look at more closely. He subtly leaned in, and this got her attention. She looked at his eyes and he looked down at her lips, leaning in further and further.
"Are you actually going to kiss me this time?" Kris asked a smile creeping across her face.
"Maybe," Junior said as he got about a millimeter from her amazing lips. His closeness made her eyes close and he kissed her, sparks flying every which way. Her tongue entered his mouth, and he groaned, not realizing how much he had missed that. She started to unbutton his shirt and they both breathed more heavily.
"Shouldn't we maybe go to my room? No big wide windows for people to be peeping toms?" Junior asked out of breath as he pulled away from her for the briefest of seconds.
"Mmm... Yeah, we probably should," Kris murmured, kissing him again before taking his hand and leading him to his bedroom. They walked in and Kris unbuttoned what was left of Junior's shirt. He unzipped her dress and smiled at what he saw. She blushed and looked away. He pulled them down onto the bed and she took his belt buckle off.
"This isn't too fast?" Junior asked, his sensitive side kicking in.
"Shut up," Kris said as she took off his pants.
"Gladly," he muttered laughingly before passionately kissing her again. They fell back onto the pillows and completely forgot about the fast-cooling dinner in the other room.
He would always remember this night. He would remember it because he got to fall asleep to Kris' brown eyes staring at him adoringly. He would remember it as the night he first got to see the green in her eyes.
