Chapter two

I walked around the shops in a bit of a daze trying to think what to cook and more importantly what to wear, after getting what I needed for kassie, I went looking and found a gorgeous emerald green skirt and a top to go with it.

I called the number that Norman had given me and was genuinely surprised it was a legitimate number. "I have a problem."

"What's the problem?

"My babysitter kinda flaked on me, if you don't mind if my daughter is around she won't be a problem she usually goes to bed at 7.30 so dinner might be a bit late, is pasta ok?

That's not a problem Del, I thought you might be cancelling now that would be a problem as I was looking forward to seeing you again. And pasta sounds good.

Same here, by the way you allergic to anything?

Nope

Ok well that makes you easy; I'll see you about 7.30.

Ok see you then. Bye

Bye.

I was getting ready kassie was rather excited to see mum getting dressed I had about an hour while dinner was cooking to get my hair done I had no idea what to do with it, so I just left it in a neat top knot, when all of a sudden the doorbell rang, I walked quickly to the door having one final look at myself and hoping Norman liked what he saw when I opened the door. When I opened the door I wasn't ready for how drop dead gorgeous he looked in jeans and a black shirt, I had way over dressed and said so "I'm always over dressing sorry."

"Nothing to be sorry for you looks beautiful."

"Well thank you come in."

"Wow this house is awesome, rental?"

"No, I own it outright."

Wow I'm amazed

Why, I've worked hard all my life I have the highest selling debut album in Australia and parents who didn't screw me over, this was my investment property I wanted somewhere stable for Kass to live when I tried to make it so far so good.

Well I'm impressed it looks like a home and that's important, I hate homes that look like show homes. I prefer homes that lived in look which you have done. Whoa whoa whoa where did you get this?

What that picture Sean Patrick gave it to me as a birthday present last year, so he knew the photographer who did it and I love it I think it's beautiful.

Well thank you I'm glad you love my work.

What you did this, wow

I can't believe he gave it to you, he told me he wanted something nice for a friend but I didn't know who.

Well I'm glad he did, it suits here. Thank you for taking something so beautiful. I kissed his check. Well I hope you're hungry, I made chicken and vegetable pasta and desert if you're interested in that later.

Mum?

What's up babe

Who are you?

I'm Norman a friend of your mum's. Pleasure to meet you Kassandra your mum has told me a lot about you.

Hello

What you doing out of bed?

I'm not sleepy mum.

You need to go to bed

Ok mum

I'll be back make yourself at home Norman, sorry I won't be long.

Hey don't hurry

Ok, now you miss you need to go to sleep

Ok mum love you

Love you too babe. Now give me a kiss and off to sleep.

Oh

Sorry about that, hope you weren't too bored.

Oh no you have some lovely things, these posters are amazing.

Even more so as they are all original releases I love these old style posters they are just beautiful.

True.

So you ready for dinner?

Starved, By the way your daughter looks just like you which means she will be a beautiful woman, hope that doesn't sound strange, I was really saying you are beautiful in a roundabout way.

Well thank you well I could say the same about your son, I'm sure he will be a good looking young man if he takes after you, but then he does have good looking parents. I hope you don't mind I Googled you last night?

No, I did the same to you.

Oh so we were doing each other, hmm I like the sound of that. Oh my god, bloody Cancerian mouth I have a dirty mind sometimes I don't know when to shut up.

I like that about you, I think it's funny.

Dinner was served, and was delicious, conversation was easy, half way thru I said you know I couldn't sleep last night so I went onto Netflix and watched boondock saints have to say I enjoyed it

Well I'm glad you did, and I have to say I did the same thing I watched house of 1000 corpses and that is some fucked up shit, that being said you were awesome as was bill Moseley

Thanks, I think by the way, you were the better brother don't tell Sean about it he'd hate me.

I won't so what did you do for desert, if it is half as good as dinner it's bound to be.

White or milk chocolate cheesecake tarts with strawberries I didn't know which you would like so I made one of each.

Yum why hasn't some man married you?

Maybe I was waiting for the right person I might still be. A lot of men don't like kids.

Well their loss my gain

You want to take this to conversation to the lounge. You want coffee with desert? As I walked into the kitchen

Sure, wow you have a Francis Francis machine I love mine.

Yeah it's good.

If I keep eating your food del, I'm going to get fat.

Can't have that, now can we, I know what you mean I love to eat food gives me such pleasure good food anyway, I have to work hard for this body

I can imagine you do, and it's worth it, you look good, can't wait to see you undressed.

As we sat on the lounge I moved closer to him till I was sitting on his lap and wrapped my arms around him as he drew my lips to him and kissed, it was hot and tender at the same time.

You know you don't have to do this.

Yes I do I want to more than anything I've wanted I know what it means.

So what does it mean?

That I'm not exactly a good girl.

Hey yes you are this isn't a bad thing and is whatever you want it to be, I'm happy to wait for you.

Ok can we do this then and see where things go ok?

Sure

We kissed for what felt like an eternity, then felt his lips move down my neck it made me gasp out loud which made him laugh "you like that" " yes" breathlessly "don't stop no one's ever done that before."

Oh I don't intend to stop unless you ask me too. But I have to ask how many men have you been with not wanting to be rude Del? I can't believe no ones done that to you before.

Only kassandras dad and after that there hasn't been anyone. Why you ask?

As I want this but I want this at the right time and now isn't I want you to want it and for it to be for the right reasons okay.

Okay. I frowned but I understood what he was saying Norman was the first man I honestly had fallen for to be in this position.

So you watch something on this big thing?

Oh don't give me ideas talking about this big thing Mr modest.

Sorry about that he has a mind of his own. Well you are a beautiful woman after all. Can't believe what you told me Del.

Why is so hard to believe that a girl can go 6 years without sex, I exactly haven't had the best experiences when it comes to sex and I call it that as I've never made love to any of the men I have slept with as they were dicks, and just so you know there have only been two men, my first was so embarrassing I was just starting to get famous in Australia and I was 17 at the time I thought this guy was in love with me he told me as such he was a big tennis player and then I went to bed with him I woke up he was gone and broke up with me that day, the worse thing was he went around telling people I was an ice queen who wouldn't sleep with him.

Well that's it, I want to wait till you are really want me, I want to wait till your ready I also want you to meet my son as I've met your daughter come to New York to meet him, when I go back in a week, I have a couple of auditions to go to then I'm all yours if you want me.

Where are you staying?

Chateau Marmont

Did you want to stay here, there's plenty of room that way I can see you more.

Sure, tomorrow ok. And with that we snuggled watching classic TV channel. Don't what I did to find him but I'm glad he's here.
