Make My Heart Start Beating
38
Cuddling in the kitchen isn't the best idea as everyone filters in and interrupts us, but mostly they congratulate Sebastian and I get back slaps. David and Kyle out do us on the cute front but I don't want to step away from Sebastian and I stay in his arms for as long as I can.
Unfortunately work calls me away and I go reluctantly, which seems to please Sebastian.
Ordinarily today would be the workday from hell, instead I float serenely through today and I hum along to the radio. Nothing fazes me and even a visit from Mr Paris doesn't dampen my spirits, it's just a story to tell Sebastian later. That and they way all the guys are staring at me and muttering, that will definitely make him laugh.
My phone beeps and I get a message from my meerkat asking if I want to go to Breadstix tonight and then stay over. I tell him yes and let my family know I'm going out.
If anything that makes me even happier and I drift about the garage getting on the guys' nerves, they practically run for the door when home time rolls around. I shut the garage up and drive home, I should have just enough time to wash up and then scrub a bit more before I go and pick Sebastian up.
Flouncing into the house I enjoy my shower, the salt scrub I found in the back of a cupboard making my skin extra soft, it's like I've been peeled and I feel amazing as I lay back on my bed and wiggle into jeans that are a shade too tight. Pulling on a shirt I smooth it down and then lace up some fantastic looking boots.
At the last second I also raid my giant bag of supplies, I have this sixth sense that says I'm getting lucky tonight. Then I skip out of the door and go to pick my gorgeous boyfriend up.
Running up the stairs to his apartment I knock on his door and when he opens it he's putting his shoes on. Surprising him I hold his face still and kiss him, "Hi Bas!"
"Hey Tiger," he grins against my mouth, "Missed you."
"Missed you too," I let him go and eye up the nice navy slacks, the pale blue shirt, with a tie, and the black shoes, oh, my boyfriend dressed up for me.
Motioning me into the apartment with his head he smirks, "Got you a present…"
"Really?" I wonder what it could be? He leads the way into his bedroom and I almost expect him to ambush me and tumble me onto the bed but he hands over a rolled up poster.
Unrolling it I find myself holding a poster of giant South American lily pads, confused I stare at it as his arms slide around my waist and he whispers into my ear, "So you think there's room for two of us on that lily pad?"
He remembered!
Twisting around I hug him back, being careful of my poster, "Always. There will always be room for you on my lily pad my wonderful Bastian."
His hands wander down to cup my ass and he smirks suggestively, "Good, though it looks like a small lily pad so we'll have to snuggle up a lot."
"Oh," I fake horror, "Not the snuggling! Anything but the snuggling with my sexy, cuddly, amazing boyfriend."
We both keep straight faces for a few seconds and then we're laughing. As I'm coming back here later I put the poster down carefully and pat it. Then I put the supplies for later beside it and escort Sebastian down to my car.
Holding his door open for him gets me a raised eyebrow and that makes me determined to act the gentleman to him for the evening. I hold the door at Breadstix and they give us a non-booth table so I hold his chair for him and his eyes are twinkling as he plays along.
The waitress Ah's over us and leaves us to choose our meal, "I'm so going to get you back," he promises.
"I look forward to it," I sass him and he chuckles. "So how was work," I'm busting to tell him about the guys.
"Good. You?" He asks and then I tell him about how I'd freaked the men out and he's laughing at my story. When I throw in Mr Paris he laughs louder and I know people are staring at us but I don't care as he looks carefree and happy, it suits him.
It sets the tone for the whole meal, we eat, we talk, we laugh, neither of us is drinking and it isn't until the manager is standing next to our table that I even notice what the time is.
Refusing to let Sebastian pay for our dinner I hold his hand and walk him out of the restaurant. The staff are glad to see us go so they can escape for the night too.
Out in the parking lot I open the car door for him and then hop in to find him amused, "You do realise if I were a girl," he says as I start the engine up, "I'd think you were only paying for my meal to get in my pants."
As usual he shocks me and I nearly get the wrong gear to back into the fence behind us, he laughs as I flush and then he leans over, "It's okay Kurt, I noticed the supplies you left in my room," he waggles his eyebrows at me and then scrunches his face up cutely, I get a kiss on my nose and he murmurs, "Drive tiger and I'll totally give you dessert when we get home."
Trying to act nonchalantly I drive us home and stick to the speed limit the whole time. He's being quiet and I daren't glance at him, he'll put me off and distract me somehow. We make it home in one piece and I hustle him up the steps.
"Kurt," he whispers in my ear.
"Hmm," I'm fumbling with his door key.
"You forgot to lock your car up," he's still whispering.
"What?" I stare at him and then hurry back down the stairs wailing, "My baby!"
Skidding out onto the street I zap the car just in time as a guy is standing next to it. "Ahh Mr Hummel," oh god it's the traffic cop that busted me for speeding. "I'm glad to see you're taking the proper precautions with your car, next time make sure you lock it, you can't be too careful."
"I'll make sure he takes care of it," Sebastian's leaning against the doorway at the bottom of his stairs.
The cop eyes me up and I know I'm flushing again, "Well you two have a nice night," and there is so much innuendo in that sentence I want to die on the spot.
"Thanks, we will," and Sebastian takes me by the hand and leads me up the stairs to his apartment and draws me into a hug. "What is it with you and that cop tiger?" He teases me, "You sure there's nothing you want to tell me about a scandalous criminal past?"
"Urgh," I bury my face into his neck and let him hold me. "Why me? I've spent years being boring, why does he have to turn up to catch me every single time?"
Chuckling Sebastian shrugs, "Luck? Fate? Perhaps you are destined to meet again…" he catches sight of my glare, "Sorry mon bel homme, it's the writer in me searching for greater meaning in everything, the divine thread linking us all together, that thing that makes life not so random, that gives us chances we never knew existed if only we're brave enough to take them."
Oh, well that sounds better and I smile at him.
He smiles back and we start to kiss, softly, lovingly, there's no hurry to it. This time Sebastian takes control of it and I melt into him. I remember this from the hotel, him dictating how fast we move and as his tongue licks my lip I open up for him and hum contentedly as he deepens the kiss.
I am so getting lucky tonight and I smirk as he walks me backwards into his bedroom.
A/N: Sorry for any and all mistakes, I've tried to catch those I could, but I'm only human.
Well this is almost it, one more chapter to go, and then the end.
