You're My Absolution Chapter 11
Blaze POV
Oh how a hot shower can loosen you right up. And Silver was right, my hangover was only a slight throbbing afterward. Though I did want some more of that chocolate pudding. So I tried to sneak into the kitchen without Silver seeing me. I succeeded in Silver not seeing me, but the guy with the two tails talking to him did.
"Hey man, do you know that you have a really hot girl only wearing a towel trying to sneak into your kitchen?" He asked pointing at me. Silver turned around to look at me when he said that.
"Yeah, that's my girlfriend Blaze. I think she's looking for more chocolate pudding, am I right?" He asked me. I was already blushing like mad so all I could do was nod slightly. "There's more in the refrigerator." He said with a slight chuckle. So I looked through it but I could still hear the conversation in the living room.
"Dude, she looks like a total catch, you two serious?" The fox guy asked Silver.
"Kind of, we've only been together a few days but I feel a real connection to her." Silver answered and I let out the breath I didn't realize I was holding. I got the pudding and sat at the table to eat it so I wouldn't freak out.
"Well I envy you Silver, having a girl like that. I bet you've been losing a lot of sleep lately." Okay, I'm really starting to get upset at people implying that we're having tons of sex. But, to Silver's credit, he always says the right thing.
"Not really, we're taking it a bit slow since we both haven't been in a relationship in a while."
"Oh, I just assumed." Like everyone else about us. Well not Silver but you know what I mean. "Well, I'll be in the car when you're ready."
"Okay, I'll be down in about five minutes." Silver told him and the guy walked out of the apartment. Silver sat down across from me at the table. "That ws my photography partner Miles, but most people call him Tails for obvious reasons. I gotta go to work and we trade off carpooling each other."
"Have a good day then. Do you mind if I use your computer to start looking for a job?"
"Of course you can. Oh, and all your clothes are in the hall closet."
"Thanks, and sorry for the commotion."
"Hey, I don't mind, my pudding is that good. And you are really beautiful, so that helps." He told me grinning.
"Oh, you don't really mean that, you just want me to feel better." Depending on what he said next would tell me if he really did mean it or not.
"Well yeah that's some of it." He said with a pause. Then he took my hands in his. "But I really do think you're beautiful." His smile made me smile too and I hoped he didn't see the tear I felt run down my face.
"Thank you Silver, I needed that." I said standing up.
"Hey, no problem. It's what I'm here for." He said standing up as well. Then he leaned in to kiss me on the cheek, but I tilted my head so he connected with my lips. I could feel he wanted to pull back and apologize but I wrapped my arms around him to tell him it was okay. And damn, he is a good kisser.
Silver POV
As I pulled my head back my mind was racing. My first thought was to apologize so I tried to.
"Blaze, I'm-" The key word was tried. Blaze put a finger on my mouth before I could finish my sentence.
"It's okay Silver. I wanted you to do that. Now go to work and have a good day." I was too dazed to do anything other than walk down the stairs and get into Tails' car. I could hear him talking the entire way but I wasn't paying attention to him. The car stopping jerked me out of my daze though.
"You got all that Silver?" Tails asked me.
"Huh, what?" Was all I could ask back.
"I'll take that as a no. Just remember what we went over. Yes, this will be a new experience for us but we just need to be confident." Oh, so that was what Tails was talking about. You see, we were going in for a job offer for a modeling magazine which is something we've never done before. So we needed to have our sales pitch down to get the job. And we nailed it. They really liked my portfolio of pictures and thought we would get along well with the models. In fact we got to meet the one we were going to work with first.
"I'd like you to meet one of our most famous models, Rouge the Bat." The executive said as we walked into a changing room. Sitting at a mirror was said bat and it wasn't hard to see why she was a model, curves in all the right places and a face to match. But I had a beautiful girl at home waiting just for me so I wasn't to impressed. Tails' on the other hand was a different story.
"Dude, act natural!" I hissed so only he could hear. He shook his head and composed himself before Rouge faced us.
"Rouge, these two will be your new photography team." The executive said to her. "I'll let them introduce themselves since I need to go do something." And she left. Rouge stood up and I offered my hand for a handshake.
"Silver the Hedgehog, master photographer, at your service." I said as she took it. Then she turned to Tails.
"Ooh, and whose this handsome fella?" She asked. And that made Tails start stuttering.
"My, uh, name?" He asked flustered.
"Miles, his name is Miles, and he's usually more composed than this. He's not used to working with models."
"And you are?" She asked sincerely.
"No, but I've got a hot girlfriend who I saw only wearing a towel this morning so I'm used to being around pretty girls I guess."
"Yeah that would do it I guess. Well, I should tell you a little about myself. I'm pretty reasonable when in comes to what I want from my photos so don't be afraid to try new things or ask questions. I am willing to be friends with you two if I like you, so that's on the table. The only thing I don't do is naked shoots. My body is only for me and whoever I'm dating at the time."
"Well, that does sound very reasonable. I think we're going to have a good time working together. Miles, do you have any questions for her?"
"Are you dating anyone at the moment?" Tails blurted out and I just facepalmed. "Just so we know what he looks like." He said trying to recover. Rouge chuckled a bit and answered.
"You know, you're kinda cute Miles. And no I'm not dating anyone at this time. In fact I just got out of a relationship recently." Tails opened his mouth to say something again but I covered it to step in.
"That's good to know. We'll, uh, see you tomorrow at the shoot." I said backing us out of the door.
"I'm looking forward to it." Rouge said and Tails and I walked out of her dressing room. We got back to the car and I let him have it.
"Dude, what the hell was that?!" You almost screwed us over in there. Of all the people I would think you wouldn't think with your dick!"
"Of screw off, it's not like anything will come out of it!"
"Well let's hope so, this could be a big break for us."
Rouge POV
"Miss Rouge, was that the person you were talking about?" My assistant asked me after the guys left.
"Yes he was, but I don't think he recognized me. I was in disguise when we first met."
"You like him don't you?"
"Well he did save my life once."
A/N- So which one of them was Rouge talking about? I know, but I'm keeping it a secret until later.
