Down with Love

Chapter 5

Fly Me to the Moon

Wow.

After that I'll never need chocolate again! Who would have thought Andy had it in him? I sure didn't. Maybe I needed to yell at him more often. (sigh) Enough laying around. I need to put some feeling back in my legs. I was about to get up when I felt an arm encircle my waist. 

"Where do you think your going?" His warm breath fanned my neck. I could feel the same shivers going up my spine as I did in the restaurant last night. What was he trying to pull?

"I'm going to recuperate. After an escapade like that I might never walk straight again!" I could feel him smile against my neck before he nipped me. "Really?" I could hear the male ego in his voice. Before I could comprehend what was happening, I was flipped over with his legs straddling my waist.

He nuzzled my neck slowly. Oh that felt good… But I will not be deterred. I will be strong. Damn! There were those stupid butterflies. Out of all the times to show up, they show up now! Sons of a bitches! Things were getting out of hand. He started kissing his way up my neck. He had found that special place right under my ear last night. Part of me thanks God he found it. The other part is cursing its existence.

"Andrew, you're insatiable! Let me up you big oaf!" pushing him had to be like pushing a brick wall. When he licked my earlobe I froze. "Does this mean you're up for round 2?" What the hell? I melted into his embrace. Hey, if you can't beat 'em... He chuckled and gave me a peck on the cheek. "I'll take that a yes!"

It was all going according to plan. All I had to do was make Serena "Down with Love" Stone fall in love. The date is supposed to be a night on the town. She doesn't suspect a thing. I put on my tux and checked my appearance. I was to pick her up in a half of an hour. That was cutting it close and I had work to do. As I passed the door man and the bellboys I reminded them all to call me Catcher if Miss Stone was in my company.

I got into my car and drove to her house. I had made the calls earlier to people I knew telling them about my sudden change of identity. If everything went according to plan I would have her falling in love with me in no time. It was almost too easy.

This will be a night Serena Stone will never forget.

Dress. Dress. I need a damn dress! Something to knock his socks off! I search through all the clothes Mina and Raye had bought me looking for the perfect little black number. I knew I was just going to leave my obnoxiously long hair down for the sake of time.

"Aha! Perfect!" If this didn't make him drool the man was gay. And that, ladies, would be the certain end of my love life. I only have 10 minuets before he gets here and I still have to do my make-up! Where were Mina and Raye when you needed them? I slipped on the dress deciding to forgo underwear and a bra in this little number. I would not risk the whole world being able to see a thong line through the skin tight material!

After slipping on some strappy little heels and putting on some make-up to make my eyes look smoky I was ready. Looking at the clock every 10 seconds was doing nothing for my nerves. I knew I had to relax and act like nothing bothered me. I was going to have to play hard to get and act unaffected. I'm finding out the hard way that I CAN'T act! I rushed to the door when I heard the doorbell ring. Okay. Deep breath, Sere. Don't let him know you want him. You're just showing him the sites. Nothing more. Oh God I hope something more than nothing more happens.

I smoothed out my dress and patted my hair for the umpteenth time. Breath? Check. Hair? Check. Teeth? Nothing in them. Pits? Baby powder fresh! Ready? Here we go…

At the door had to be the finest man to ever walk the earth. I thought I would melt right then in there, but a Sere sized puddle of goo probably isn't the most attractive thing in the world. I had NEVER seen someone look so good in a black tux before in all my life. Hell, I had never seen someone look that good period. If I had died right then, I would have died a satisfied woman. Not a happy woman. Just satisfied. Missing a date with him would not make me happy. Being dead wouldn't be a barrel of laughs either. I smiled what I hoped to be my most breathtaking smile and walked out the door. Here goes nothing…

-------------------------------------------- (dare pov)

I was here. I checked my watch to make sure I wasn't too early. Lucky me. Right on time. Now to take the little spinster on the date of a lifetime. I rang her door bell and waited for her to answer. When she opened the door I got the SURPRISE of a lifetime. She was wearing the sexiest dress I had ever seen!

Ever.

Believe me when I say I have seen A LOT of dresses. She gave me a smile that almost made me want to take her into her condo and make her forget all about the date.

She walked up to me and frowned. "Catcher, are you alright? You feel hot. Are you coming down with something?" She stepped back and I could see the worry in her eyes. If only she knew just how hot I was for her. I admired her profile for a few more seconds before responding. I almost checked to make sure my nose wasn't bleeding. Good God! Was she even wearing UNDERWEAR?! With the way that dress was made she probably wasn't wearing a bra either. "I'm." I cleared my throat to keep that horrible squeak from happening again. "I'm fine. You look lovely." Lovely was the biggest understatement of the century.

It was going to be a LONG night.
