Sandy and Kirsten sat at the bar, just talking, for a few hours. Kirsten was so happy, for once she wasn't alone. With no husband and a daughter in collage, things could get a bit lonely. Rachel had suggested that she could move up to Berkeley, then she would be much closer to her daughter, but that also meant she'd have to quit at the Newport Group, and that was something Kirsten thought she absolutely not could do. She felt like she had known Sandy for forever.
They both fell silent. Kirsten looked down at the table, she was starting to get tired, but she didn't want this night to end, so she thought she wouldn't say anything.
"Are you tired?" he asked and she smiled. How the hell could he know that?
"A little" she answered.
"Do you wanna go back to the hotel?"
"Yeah, but if you wanna stay I can walk by myself" she started and he shook his head.
"Not if you're not here" Sandy replied to that. Kirsten smiled and he put his arm around her shoulders and they started to walk towards the door.
They made their way out to the sidewalk, where they walked in silence. Kirsten glanced up at his face, he was looking straight ahead. She slid her arm tightly around his waist, he looked at her when he felt her grip, and he smiled and bent down to kiss her head.
It took about twenty minutes to walk to their hotel. Neither of them said a word during the walk, they just enjoyed each other's company.
Sandy could barely remember the last time he had felt like this. It had been years ago since he and Rebecca had walked like this together. And it had been years since he had felt that tingling feeling in his heart that made him think that this was definitely something special.
They reached the hotel and stepped into the elevator, they were still holding onto each other and now Kirsten let go of him.
"I have to go back home early Monday morning" she said and sounded sad. She looked down at the floor.
Sandy placed his hand on her chin and lifted her face so that she looked into his eyes.
"It's only Friday, we still have all weekend to be together" he said and stroked some hair out of her face.
She suddenly looked unsure.
"Is it weird to fall in love with someone this quickly? I mean, we met yesterday…" she said and he frowned.
"You know what I think?" he asked and she shook her head.
"No, do you?"
He laughed. They stepped out of the elevator and stood outside Kirsten's door.
"Actually I do. I think that love has nothing to do with time. Sometimes you gotta learn to love someone, sometimes it is love at the first sight"
'A million suns are glowing in the night
Everything is quiet
Except for all the voices in my head
That say your name
Tonight I'm letting go
About to give in'
Kirsten smiled. "I just wish this night never has to end. Or this weekend"
"Then I guess it has to be a special weekend, something we both will remember" he said.
"Maybe I'll come by next weekend too…" she said and he placed his hands on her hips, she didn't complain or pull away, right now she just wanted him to kiss her, touch her…
He smiled and leaned in to kiss her. She responded with an even deeper kiss.
She struggled out of his arms to unlock the door and then she turned to him.
"Do you wanna come in?" she asked
"Do you want me to?" he asked and she grabbed his hand and walked in.
"I do" she replied before she threw herself back into his arm.
'I surrender myself
Into the arms of a beautiful stranger
I surrender myself to you – to you
I surrender myself
Into the arms of a beautiful stranger
I surrender myself to you – to you'
They were now kissing passionately and Kirsten let all her feelings take over, she wasn't thinking about the possible consequences, she didn't want to think, just feel.
"Are we doing this?" Sandy asked breathless.
"Don't you want to?" she asked and they stopped kissing. They looked into each others eyes.
"You were the one that told me this was going to be a special weekend…" Kirsten continued.
Sandy kissed her forehead and said "I don't know, it seems a little soon to me"
Kirsten had her arms around his waist.
"How about this, you could at least stay here tonight, I don't want to be alone. We don't have to do anything, we could just sleep?" she offered and he looked like he was thinking about it.
'Please say yes, don't leave me!' her mind screamed and he suddenly smiled.
"Of course I'll stay here with you" he said and she breathed out, realizing she had been holding her breath.
'There's only one bridge left for me
My heart is almost free
Beautiful by my side
But all I think about is you
And tonight I'm letting go
About to give in'
Sandy leaned closer to her and their lips met once again. They stumbled towards the bed and fell down on it, her on top. He started to kiss her throat and left a trail of kisses up to her mouth.
'I surrender myself
Into the arms of a beautiful stranger
I surrender myself to you – to you'
They stopped kissing and she was just lying on top of him with her head resting on his chest. She could hear his heartbeats.
"Do you wanna go to sleep?" Sandy suddenly asked. Kirsten lifted her head and looked at him.
"I mean, you said earlier that you were tired…" he continued.
"Oh, right. Well maybe we should get ready for bed then…" she said, a little disappointed that he ruined the moment like that.
Kirsten rolled down from him and walked to the bathroom door. She turned around at the sound of his voice.
"Hey Kirsten"
"Yes?" she answered and looked at him where he was standing next to the bed.
"I was just wondering, should I sleep on the couch…or?" he looked very unsure. Kirsten smiled at him and walked over to him.
"You can sleep in the bed with me if you want; it's big enough for two" she replied and started to walk back to the bathroom.
"Kirsten?" he said again. She turned around.
"What is it now?" Kirsten did her best to hide a smile.
"I should go to my room and pick up my pyjama" he explained and Kirsten walked back to him once again. She put her hand on his shoulder.
"Or if you don't want go all the way to get them, you could sleep in your underwear, I don't mind" she said and before he could answer she had disappeared into the bathroom. Sandy laughed to himself and considered what she had just said. On the inside, Sandy was fighting a battle about if he should just let his feelings take over and deal with the consequences tomorrow, or if he should control himself and wait.
Meanwhile in the bathroom, Kirsten was brushing her teeth and tried to think what she really wanted. Did she want to wait with having sex with him, or did she feel ready to do it now? But if Sandy wasn't ready…she knew she couldn't change his mind, she didn't want to rush him.
Kirsten got undressed and put on her night gown. She unlocked the door and stepped out into the bedroom. She got disappointed when she noticed Sandy still fully dressed, standing next to the bed. He looked at her and smiled.
"Wow, you look…" he stopped himself. He had been on his way to say 'you look really sexy', but that would sound like he had made up his mind about what he wanted, and he hadn't.
"You haven't gotten chanced" she said as she sat down on the bed. He drew his hand through his hair.
"Yeah, about that, I thought I'd go get my pyjama." He explained and she nodded.
"Fine, we can take it slow" Kirsten said and removed the cover so that she could get into the bed. Sandy just looked at her, amazed by her beauty.
"Oh what the hell" he said low to himself as he started to unbutton his pants. Kirsten had pulled up the cover to her face and was peeking over the edge of the cover as he got undressed. He felt her eyes on him and looked at her. She thought he hadn't noticed that she was looking at him, so she kept exploring his body with her eyes, when her gaze reached his face her eyes met his. Embarrassed she pulled the cover over her head and hoped he wouldn't overreact. It felt like hours until she felt someone climbing into the bed, the cover lifted from her head and she found herself looking into Sandy's face.
"Did you like what you saw?" Sandy said in a teasing voice and stroked a string of hair out of her face.
"I'm sorry, I just…" Kirsten started but she never finished the sentence cause Sandy pressed his finger against her mouth.
"It's ok" he laughed and then he leaned in to kiss her.
'I surrender myself
Into the arms of a beautiful stranger
I surrender my self to you – to you
Who really loves me
You really love me
My beautiful stranger
You really love me like I love you'
They kept kissing for a few minutes until Kirsten decided she just wanted to lie close, so she buried her head into his chest and her arms were wrapped around him. Sandy had also his arms around her and he gently pressed her against him.
"Good night baby" he whispered in the dark and he kissed her forehead.
"I love you" she whispered back so quietly he barely heard it. He didn't answer. Kirsten assumed he hadn't heard it so she said it again, a little louder.
"I know" he answered "I love you too"
Kirsten looked up at him and they kissed passionately.
So, but don't think this night ends here with that little kiss, noooo. There will be more soon, I really like working on this fic, it's very funny to write. Thanks for all the reviews! The lyrics I used is from the amazing song I surrender by Saybia
