If You Asked Me To
I felt how all my fears and insecurities slowly vanished as I looked into Danny's eyes. He somehow made me feel like I could do anything and that we could truly be great together. And most importantly he had waited for me.
"CJ let me in" Danny pleaded with me. He walked towards me and I subconsciously steeped back a few steps. I still had to get use to the fact that this was really it. But he was faster than me. He was there in two big steps and gave me a big hug.
"I'm sorry", I mumbled into his shoulder and felt myself clinging to him with all my being. He then pulled me out from him and slowly reached down to untie my coat. I had been tying it tighter as we spoke and I felt almost relieved when he loosened the belt. His hand came in at my shoulders and lifted off the coat, removed it and slid it down my arms and into a puddle at my feet. I looked at him and felt his eyes burning through me. There was no way back, no way out. Even though all he had removed was my coat I felt completely naked.
"I wont be very good at this" I whispered and felt a tear slide down my cheek. He reached up and wiped it away.
"Oh I know you will, we'll take it slow", he answered right before he reached over and softly kissed me. Even though it was far from our first kiss it somehow felt different. New and defining in some way. But it quickly intensified and I felt myself being pushed towards the wall. My hands were trying to remove his blouse and his were cupping my butt as we reached the wall and bumped into it with a loud crash. Our mouths were hungrily kissing and out tongues merged with each other. But I let out a loud gasp as my back hit the wall with quite a lot of force.
Suddenly there was a loud knocking on the door.
"Ms. Cregg are you alright?" It was one of my Secret Service agents. On the way up the stairs I now remotely remembered asking them to wait for me outside the apartment. At that point I was afraid my visit would be short and possibly unpleasant but I had forgotten all about them as I saw the door open and saw Danny.
"Emmmh… Yes, I'm fine" I managed to say as I pushed Danny a bit away from me, even though he was pretty busy trying to rid me of my blouse.
"We just need to come in and make absolutely sure" I could hear the strain in the agent's voice. I guess chaperoning me on dates and nights at Danny's apartment would seem kind of awkward to them.
Danny growled a little, I could easily feel why on my left thigh.
"Danny" I said with a little smile, "I just have to let them know, I'm doing very well", I said and kissed him lightly as I walked to the door while adjusting my blouse.
I opened the door and walked into the hallway.
"I'm fine." I felt a little bit like when I had to ask permission to spend the night at a boyfriend's house when I was younger but knew I was being ridiculous.
"I'll be here all night, but I'll be ready to leave by 7.10" I finished off and got a small smile and a "yes, mam", before the two agents walked down the stairs towards the car. The last thing I heard before closing the door and meeting Danny's lips with her own was:
"Flamingo is in for the night"…

Used to be that I believed in something
Used to be that I believed in love
It's been a long time since I've had that feeling
I could love someone
I could trust someone
I said I'd never let nobody near my heart again darlin'
I said I'd never let nobody in
But if you asked me to
I just might change my mind
And let you in my life forever
If you asked me to
I just might give my heart
And stay here in your arms forever
If you asked me to
If you asked me to
Somehow ever since I've been around you
Can't go back to being on my own
Can't help feeling darling since I've found you
That I've found my home
That I'm finally home
I said I'd never let nobody get too close to me darling
I said I needed, needed to be free
But if you asked me to
I just might change my mind
And let you in my life forever
If you asked me to
I just might give my heart
And stay here in your arms forever
If you asked me to
If you asked me to
Asked me to, I will give my world to you baby
I need you now
Ask me to and I'll do anything for you baby, for you baby
If you asked me to
I'd let you in my life forever
If you asked me to...
