This chapter isn't really that long, but it's an update right?
Thanks for the reviews guys, they're amazing :D thank you.
Chapter 7:
Back in the room I feel quite nervous. I know this isn't going to be a real date or anything, but I'm sure I don't have any clothes to wear for a 'date', because, well we came here to work.
I sit on the edge of my bed and put my head in my hands. I think I'm getting worked up about nothing really, but just imagine if me and Cath were really together.
Wait, it's not actually something that I should imagine, it's going to be hard enough just pretending, but hey, I get to touch her; without her wondering what I'm doing. I sigh and get up off the bed and again look for something that could pass as something to wear on a date to a nice restaurant.
...
After about 5 minutes of just staring at my closet, I hear Catherine come out of the bathroom singing to herself. Why isn't she nervous, she seems in a good mood. I don't turn around to greet her, just continue staring at my clothes.
After a couple of minutes she walks up behind me and starts massaging my shoulders, I can't help but jump slightly before relaxing into her touch, and moan slightly at the contact. She doesn't say anything, she just stands there continuing massaging for a while, before eventually turning me round and smiling.
"You looked like you needed that, your shoulders were all tense, I'm sorry if I overstepped, but.."
Before she could continue I boldly put my finger on her lip silencing her. I smile, and say:
"Hey, Cath, it's ok, you were totally not overstepping the mark, I needed it, I'm getting a little worried about tonight, and well, you helped relax me a little."
I realise my finger is still on her lips, and at that moment I just look into her eyes and smile. I move my finger and cup her left cheek with my hand. She leans into the touch, which makes me smile, and I pull her into a hug.
We stand there for about 5 minutes just enjoying the closeness of our bodies, before she pulls back.
"I guess we better find you something to wear then Sidle, can't have you going out in that robe you're wearing, I wouldn't want Ant and Richie to be seeing any more of you than they need to, and you look like you need some help deciding what to wear." She winks and walks past me .
I shake my head and wonder how we can go from hating each other a couple of days ago, to friends, to well, what was just an amazingly charged moment that ended with what I'm sure was her flirting with me.
After about an hour we are finally ready. Catherine managed to find me some clothes in my closet that look acceptable, a pair of quite tight black pants and a deep red shirt. I guess I look okay. Cath on the other hand looks absolutely stunning. She has a knee length black skirt and a blue shirt on, the top 3 buttons undone. I'm going to have trouble concentrating tonight.
She has her hair wavy, just below her shoulders, and I'd love to hold it in my hands while passionately kissing her.
Wait, hold up, back. I can't think like that, or I will end up doing it, especially as we are 'pretending'. Man it's going to be hard. What have we get ourselves into…
As we get ready to leave, Catherine sits back down and takes a deep breath.
"Sara, you look amazing tonight." I think I just heard something different to what she actually said, I'm sure she said I look amazing. Nah. I shake my head, but she's just looking at me.
"Are you ready for this?" she asks. "It's going to be a mad night. Do you think they'll know what we're up to? I know it'll be easy for me to act like we're together, but every time I look at you, or give you a compliment, or make physical contact, you either jump or look dumbstruck."
I shake my head. Why does she think this is going to be hard for me. Seriously, how hard can it be to pretend to be with someone you're totally in love with. But I do jump at the physical contact, I always have, it comes from my past, what happened when I was young, but I can't tell her all of this now can I.. And, wait, she just said she'll find it easy to pretend to be with me. Interesting.
I look deeply into her eyes and reply, "Don't worry Cath, they will never know this isn't real. By the end of the night they'll be voting for us as world couple of the year or something they will think we are so in love. And as for the physical stuff, when I'm not expecting it, I'm always a little jumpy, but that's a long story." I take her hand and continue:
"But don't you worry, I'll have my hands all over you tonight, there will be no questioning the fact that we're 'together'."
I get one of my confidence surges, and quickly lean forward and peck her on the lips, before turning and walking towards the door. I get there and look back, seeing her still rooted on the spot, trying to comprehend what I just did. Eventually she just shook her head, before grinning and walking up to me.
As we left the room, I let her know how good she looked.
"Cath, you look absolutely stunning tonight, everyone will be jealous of me being with the most beautiful woman in the town and calling her my own. Let's do this."
As we leave the hotel, she takes my hand in her own as I can't help but wonder what the night will bring.
Please review, reviews make me happy and will hopefully get me writing quicker. I have a couple of weeks off now, so I can hopefully update a little more. So please do review :D thanks guys.
