I do not own any movie that has been used as base for this story, this includes Dirty Dancing, Ghost and Bridget Jones.
*The morning came slowly*
We fell asleep eventually, a bit later I woke up and turn my head. I thought I was dreaming but he's really here. I see him smiling while I look at him.
"You've got nothing better to do?" He whispers, I giggle a bit.
"I love watching you sleep." I whisper, he grins a little and grabs me closer to him.
The alarm went off, I turn it off and turn back to him. He plants his face between my breasts and kissed my skin. I giggled a bit.
"They're so perky, they make me go hard." I giggle again and grab his head.
"I need to go to work soon and I still haven't edit that article. My boss wants it today, I just remembered. I would've done that yesterday evening but then you walked in."
"Can I help?" He asks, smiling as his fingers tease my nipple, I bit my lip.
"Well, it's the article about you. I've got the reporter to rewrite it, maybe you can have a look at it."
"I will, but first this." He grins and starts to give me pleasure, he made me say his name very loud. After some time I put my bathrobe on and went to the kitchen.
"My boss would like to meet you, I think half the office is fan of you." He laughs about it.
"No, seriously Johnny, they've been asking me out about you when you came to get the key." Johnny gives me some coffee and I smiled at him.
"You know that you'll always find people like this now." I smiled.
"I'm okay with that, I think." He gives me a kiss.
"You're really going to drop your projects?" I ask as he sits down, taking the article to read it.
"Only the big ones. So I'll be gone for a few days here and there and for the movie. I want that going."
"Won't you lose too much income?" He looks up at me.
"I don't have to worry Baby. Besides…" He smiles and I look at his face.
"I've called Juilliard and told them I take the job offer." My eyebrows went up and he chuckles about my face.
"Do you really want that?" He puts his mug down and takes my hand.
"Yes, I do. I've been thinking about my life since I saw you back again at New Year's Eve. About what I truly want, even more so when I came to New York for you. I want to be with you, I'm very serious about it." He says, I look in his eyes and he kissed my hand.
"Especially the last days, they've been hard on me."
"Why so?" I sip my coffee.
"Not seeing you, only hearing your voice over the phone, not being able to hold you in my arms, or waking up next to you. I realized that not only my crush for you came back, but that I've truly fallen in love with you." He sighs and looks at the article again.
"When you told me not to tell me those words, I first thought that you didn't want me at all. But then you started to cry and told me that not seeing me so often is truly upsetting you. I felt the urge to come and hold you in my arms, not being able to do that when you're upset, it broke my heart. It made me realize that I've found my place." I sigh and smile at him. He smiles back.
"So, after our phone-call I started to call around. Stopping my big projects, after that I booked the first flight to New York and packed my stuff."
I stand up and went closer to him, he looks at my eyes and smiles. I lean in and kiss him.
"I'm going to take a shower now, read the article please." He smiles and looks after me when I went to the bathroom. He starts to read and takes a pen.
It was time to go to work, I got dressed and went to the kitchen. I see him reading and smiled, he looks up and smiled at me.
"And?"
"It's good, I've edit a few things but it's a lot better than it was before."
He lays the pen down and stands up. I lay my arms around his neck and his hands glide over my waists, he moves a bit with me and I smiled. We kissed a bit and he inhales deeply.
"I'm going with you, if you want. I need to pick up some mail at Penny as well and tell her the news about Juilliard. She wants to meet you." I smile at him.
"I would love to meet her as well." He kissed me again and went to the bedroom to get dressed.
I take the article and look at it. He only has edit a few things, I turn the page and start to smile. He drew a heart and wrote my first letter and his first letter in it. I let my index finger run over it and I sigh a little. He came back, his hand going through his hair, I look at him and bit my lip.
"You're ready?" He ask and I giggle.
"You're so cute when being in love." I giggle and he looks at me with a grin. I hold up the paper and he kissed me.
"I couldn't help it." I giggle.
"It's so cute, I'm going to keep this." He kisses me again.
"I have to copy these first though."
"Let's go." He takes my hand and we went to the office.
*At the office*
"Good morning." Katy says in a teasing way, I look at her and roll my eyes.
"Where can I get coffee?" Johnny asks.
"Over there." Katy points at the kitchen door.
"Good morning by the way." Johnny says with a smile and went to get some coffee.
"You two seem to have talk things through." Katy looks back at me, I walk to my desk and she follows me.
"Yeah, we have. Look." I whisper and show the heart Johnny drew. Katy giggles.
"That's so cute, I guess he's still that goofy kid you used to know." I giggle a bit as I sit down.
"Who grow up into a real sex god." I whisper, Johnny came back and watches us girls.
"You're talking about me?" We giggle, he smiles and gives me a kiss.
I'm very aware that we're being watched, but it doesn't seem to bother Johnny. I guess he's used to it.
"I need copies from this." I say.
"Let me do it. I'm printing my article anyway."
Katy takes the papers and walk to the copy machine. Johnny sits on my desk and is watching me the whole time.
"You're gonna sit there the whole day?" He chuckles, I stand up and kiss him.
"I could do that, but you need to work. Want to have lunch with me?"
"Sounds lovely."
He bit his lip and gives me a kiss again. Katy came back with the papers and I thank her.
"Come." I say to Johnny and take his hand. I lay the original papers on my desk and walked to Patty's office with the copies. Johnny's holding my hand, I knock on the door.
"Enter." I open the door and Patty sees me.
"Hey Frances." She smiles and stands up.
"You're feeling better? Katy told me you were under the weather." Then she sees Johnny and her mouth drops.
"I'm good again. Here's the article you've been asking about. Johnny has been doing the editing." Patty looks at the article and then at Johnny.
"I shall introduce myself. I'm Johnny, Johnny Castle." He extends his hand and she giggles, I roll my eyes.
"I'm Patty Burke, it's a pleasure to meet you." Patty looks at me and winks.
"Thanks Frances, I hope the other article will be great."
That just reminded me that I've promised Louis to have an interview with Johnny.
"Shit, I forgot." Johnny looks at me.
"What Baby?" I look at him.
"I promised the reporter of the article I would arrange an interview with you, he's writing a huge article about your career and life."
"A bigger article? Why didn't you told me this before?" I take his hands.
"I didn't know about it until I came back from Paris." Patty looks at us, Johnny sighs.
"If you don't want it to happen, I can blow it off." Patty says. Johnny looks at her.
"How much information does the reporter have already?"
"Your parents, James, my mother, your dancing career. He wants to interview me as well and he would love to interview you too." I explained, Johnny lays his arms around me and waggles a little.
"Is this a yes?" I giggle, he chuckles a bit.
"Your mother, huh?" I roll my eyes.
"I bet he knows about the paddling pool."
"Oh god, stop it Johnny." He laughs.
"Those were the days." He's teasing me now.
"Stop it!"
"You know that our mothers still want to couple you to my dull brother, they have no clue about us being official."
"And I like to keep it like this for a little while." He chuckles. Patty is watching us with a smile.
"But sure, I'll do the interview. If this is a big thing for the newspaper." Patty smiles.
"It will be unique, it would be good for the newspaper and it's something no other newspaper or magazine will have." Johnny looks at her and smiles.
*There's a knock on the door*
"It's busy at my office this morning. I'll tell Louis that the article is great."
I walk to the door and open it. It's Louis, he sees me and smiles.
"Oh, hey Baby. You're feeling alright again?" I smile at him.
"Never been better, we've just given your article to Patty."
"We?" Louis asks as he walks into the office, he turns his head and sees Johnny.
"I thought he was in Germany." Louis whispers.
"He was until yesterday evening." I said.
Johnny stiffens up a little. He has recognized Louis, he looks at me and I take his hands.
"Isn't this." He whispers, I kiss him once.
"My ex, yes, and he writes the article." Johnny looks at Louis again.
"You don't mind that Baby?" I chuckle a bit.
"At first I did, but he's very keen on writing it so let him do it." Louis extends his hand and smiles.
"It's a great pleasure to meet you Johnny."
Johnny looks at him, staying on his guard. He looks at Louis up and down and understands what I saw in him. Though he shakes Louis' hand.
"Nice to meet you…"
"Oh, Louis, Louis Smith." Louis fills him in.
"Call me Lou."
"Okay, Lou, I understood you want an interview with me." Louis smiles now.
"Yes, it would be great if I could have an interview with you. I've gathered so much information already." Louis looks at me with a smile.
"I need an interview with you as well Baby." Johnny chuckles about my face.
"And your sister too." I start to panic now, Johnny laughs about my face now.
"Stop it Baby, I bet that Lissy has been talking to everyone already about how she has caught us on New Year's Eve."
I roll my eyes, Louis became curious again. He knows about it, but not everything of course.
"Please, Johnny, this doesn't have to be in the article." I lay my hand on his chest, he chuckles.
"You're gonna be all prude now?" I roll my eyes again and walk out of the office. Johnny chuckles and shakes his head.
"You know her better than anyone else." Patty says and Johnny looks at her.
"Oh yeah, she calls me goofy but she's goofy too." Patty giggles about it. Johnny looks at Louis again.
"You want that interview now?"
"That would be great, if you don't mind and if you have the time." Louis answers.
"Not at all, I don't have much to do today anyway. I do want a coffee though, Baby stole mine."
Louis chuckles about it and walks to the door. Johnny follows Louis and Patty sighs. I look at how Johnny follows Louis to the kitchen, I bit my lip as I admire his bum, Katy walked by and sees my face.
"Stop that Baby." I giggle and she rolls her eyes as she walks on. I take the articles I need to edit and start working, Johnny's with Louis in the kitchen.
"Here you go." Louis says and smiles as he sits down. Johnny takes the coffee from him and look at Louis very thoughtful. Louis takes his papers and sighs.
"Something wrong?" Johnny asks, Louis looks at him.
"Not really, just thinking how lucky Baby is to have you. Not being gay or so, but she's great."
"You still love her?" Louis didn't dare to look at Johnny now.
"I do, but I ruined it."
"Well, that's your own fault, but I do want to thank you." Louis looks up now and sees Johnny smiling.
"Why so?"
"Because you made her available for me." Louis sighs.
"Let's start."
Louis start to ask the questions and Johnny answers them, Johnny helped Louis with the article.
*My phone went off*
"The Daily New Yorker, how can I help you?" I ask as I pick up the horn.
"Baby, what are you doing?" I sigh and lean my head on my hand.
"What do you want mom?"
"Don't talk to me like that."
"What do you want, mother?" I could hear dad laughing in the background.
"It's not funny, what must I do with you?"
"I have my own life mom, thank you very much."
"Your ex-boyfriend was at Gemma's the other day."
"Took you a while to call me about this."
"Baby, stop the sarcasm, I'm being serious here. He asked an awful lot about Johnny. I was wondering why, he does look like a nice man, I think he still loves you." I sigh and rub my face my my free hand.
"Mom." I pause as I turn the paper to look at the heart Johnny has drew.
"He dumped me because he cheated on me with some blonde."
"But if it's meant to be, Baby, he told me that you're a great person."
My mother just doesn't get it, first James, now Louis.
"I thought you wanted me together with James? How's he doing?"
"He's doing well, still single though." I roll my eyes.
Johnny and Louis came out of the kitchen, it's near lunchtime already. Johnny looks at me being on the phone.
"Baby, why did this guy want to know about Johnny so much?" I sigh.
"He writes an article about Johnny."
"Does he know you had sex with Johnny? I still can't believe that you did that."
I bumped my head on my desk when Johnny stands still and looked at me.
"Your mother?" I look up at him and nod.
"Mom, I can choose with whomever I want to have sex. I'm old enough." Johnny chuckles, I roll my eyes.
"But you can't be serious with Johnny, he's always all over the world, you know what Gemma told you."
"Mom, Lou knows about Johnny and I, and he still wants to write the article because he's a fan." Johnny's eyebrows went up.
"But Baby."
"Mom, I need to get back to work."
Johnny signs me to give him the horn, I shake my head no. He chuckles and takes the horn from me while winking at me.
"Hello Marge." I heard a shriek and start to giggle, he chuckles.
"Johnny? What are you doing at Baby's office?"
"I had an interview with Louis for his article about me."
"No, I mean, what are you doing there?" Johnny rolls his eyes.
"I'm with Baby, I thought you would have known that by now after the amazing sex we had in her old bedroom." Even I could hear dad laughing in the background.
"I don't know what's so funny about it all and you possibly can't be serious Johnny."
"But I am Marge, I'm very serious about your daughter."
"Give me my daughter back." Johnny gives me the horn and chuckles.
"What mom?"
"Don't what me Baby." Mom says and I mouth soundless with her and Johnny laughs about it.
"What, mother?" Johnny laughs even harder now.
"Why are you with Johnny? You know, I think Louis looks like a wonderful man, James is very good for you too."
"Mom, James will find his love one day. I think you and Louis will establish a good friendship. Maybe dad will get jealous of that eventually, but I choose with who I want to be."
"Baby."
"Mom, I'm going to have lunch with Johnny now. I speak to you another time, okay?"
"Well okay, Baby. But just know that I don't really agree on this."
"Bye mom." I lay the horn down and sigh, Johnny chuckles about my face.
"Why do I have a mother like that?"
"It's her way of caring about your love life."
"Sex life more likely." Johnny laughs about it. Colleagues are looking at us.
"Well, she doesn't agree on us being together. She now thinks that not only James but also Lou are better for me."
I stand up and he lays his arms around me. I sigh and lay my head against his chest.
"And yet you choose the guy that is so wrong for you."
"Hmm, but the sex is really amazing." I whisper, he chuckles.
"I'm glad you choose me." He whispers and kiss my head.
"Let's have lunch." Katy came to me.
"I normally have lunch with Katy and Allen." I look up at him and he smiles.
"Then I'll join." I smile and I walk away with Katy, Johnny following us. Women look after him with a sigh.
