SHTL-Decisions to Be Made: Part 2

Point of View: Ian Somerhalder New York, NY

The crowd applauded overwhelmed with women's screams. I shook Jimmy Fallon's hand then sat down, "Well the ladies surely are happy to see you."

"It's just a pretty face."

"See when you say stuff like that it drives women crazy on top of that 'fuck me slowly' smirk."

I couldn't help but laugh, "Are we even aloud to say stuff like that on TV?"

"…Oh well it's late night TV anyways it's nice to finally meet you Mr. Somerhalder."

"Same to you Mr. Fallon."

"Tell us what you have been up to lately and what you have in store."

"Well right now I'm doing the job of C.E.O. at Horizon Publications and ISF."

"You own those right?"

"Yup I'm still on The Vampire Diaries but we haven't started filming the next season yet so I can put my focus into the business side of my life. For the future, I'm trying to incorporate another business into the one I already have dealing with energy, I'm up for the role of Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades movie, and trying to expand my foundation all over the country."

"Now E.L. James' Fifty Shades of Grey took the world by storm and when the announcement of a movie coming out women's panties went into the air. There has been talk about you and Matt Bomer up for the very important role of Mr. Fifty Shades himself. Have you heard anything about the progression or of course the talk about Ana?"

"Roughly three months ago I did an audition with Nina Dobrev and I met E.L. James also. Since then I was called back and I should be going back for a final audition soon. I haven't had the pleasure to meet Matt Bomer but I have no hard feelings towards him and I have only heard good things about him."

"Is Nina Dobrev crowned the role of Anastasia Steele?"

"No, no one has been officially casted but everyone, including myself, will know very soon."

"Can't wait. Talking about being perfect choices, I'm sure everyone would like to know what you look for in a woman. What do you find most attractive or what draws you in to someone?"

"Oh uh good question." Curving my chuckle, I answered the question, "I find that a woman with beauty of course draws me in but what really hooks me is what I call warm intellect. You have people who are unbelievably intellectual however, they're really cold. And then you have those people who are just sort of really warmly intellectual — people who are approachable but are just so intellectually stimulating. I find that very sexy."

"So you've found a woman that does that for you?"

"Yes very much so."

"Well let's bring her out here."

Everyone stood to their feet applauding giving a warm welcome to my girlfriend as she walked onto the stage. Jimmy Fallon came from around his desk and hugged her.

"Hello gorgeous." I said pulling Tiara in and kissing her on the lips.

"Hi," she replied blushing.

We sat down on the couch and wrapped my arm around her.

"It's very nice to meet you Tiara you look beautiful."

"Aww thank you Jimmy you look mighty fine yourself."

"Look at you making me blush like a school girl. Tell us about yourself."

"I was born in Chesapeake, Virginia but grew up mostly in Texas. I'm a corporate lawyer and writer I got my degrees in England. I'm known in America for being a hybrid on The Vampire Diaries. I used to work alongside this man here but not anymore."

"How did you two meet?"

"No one had saw me before we started filming my first scene because my flight had just got in from Louisiana. I had no lines I had no clue what I was doing because I was literally picked just because of my looks. First time I had ever laid eyes on Ian in person was in a booth in the 'Mystic Grill' where he also checked me out before even knowing my name."

"I didn't check you out!" I said. She gave me a sideways look, "Okay I did a little bit but if I hadn't we wouldn't be sitting here today. Tiara didn't tell you the part about her leaving for a year then magically appearing in front of my desk."

"Where he treated me like garbage like he treated all of his employees before I got there."

"You set him straight?" Jimmy asked.

"Sure did."

"Did Ian fire you?"

Tiara chuckled, "No he didn't I left."

"Is that when you had dropped off the face of the earth?"

"Yeah no two week notice no one knew where I was going or why I had left… well sort of."

"Now we're getting to the good stuff. The whole world was wondering what happened between you and Ian. One day we see pictures of the romantic proposal and not even a full twenty-four hours later, we see that you two had broken up. All of that didn't really fit together please clarify what actually happened."

Tiara looked up at me waiting for my answer, "Well I was at work for two hours just to make sure everything was okay since I had been gone. I came home and my ex, Ashley Greene, was there. She mentioned an envelope that Tiara had left for me when I opened it her phone, engagement ring, and letter were there. Ashley explained that Tiara had just left five minutes or so ago then I got back in my car and went after her. I called my cousin Cody Caldwell then called his girlfriend, Tiara's best friend, to ask if they knew where she was but they didn't. I got a call from the bank saying that Cody told them I was looking for Tiara they said that she was there pulling all the money out of her bank accounts. When I got to the bank, she was already driving off so I followed her to the airport. I lost her in the crowd then I took a guess on which flight she would be on, Chesapeake, but I didn't have a ticket. The woman there said that she couldn't let me on because the doors were closing and bunch of other shit. By time I convinced her to let me on the plane was pulling off and that was all I knew."

"Where did you go Tiara?" Jimmy asked.

"I went to London and hid from the world I just didn't want to be bothered I wanted to be alone completely. I had just left the only man I loved it felt as if there was nothing to do but just sit there and stare at the walls. I left because of many reasons all having to do with my self-esteem issues and wanting to move fast with Ian but my mind just wouldn't let me. I felt overwhelmed and with what Ashley had told me it pushed me over the edge."

"What did Ashley say?"

"Just something that happened two years ago between her and Ian."

"What does anything that happened two years ago matter?"

"Uh-"

"Tiara felt as if she didn't deserve to be with me and that she had taken the place of Ashley but in all reality no one could ever take Tiara's place. She is and always will be the only woman that I love."

"Wow… and how do you feel about Ian Tiara?"

"He's the one that keeps me sane and makes me realize things about myself that I didn't even know existed. He is doing the impossible, making me love myself something even my parents couldn't do. Without him, I see no reason to live because I will be miserable, depressed, upset, and angry at the world. Ian is the one thing that makes me roll out of bed in the morning I love him unconditionally and that will never change."

"Now if you two aren't the perfect example of a real life fairytale I don't know what is. You make a beautiful power couple lawyer, writer, and actress with philanthropist, actor, model, and C.E.O. Do you plan to get engaged again?"

"I don-"

"Yes we do," Tiara answered, making a smile blossom on my lips.

"I better be invited."

"Of course Jimmy we would never leave you out," I replied.

"Thank you for being here."

"Thank you for having us."

"That's it for the night folks, thanks for watching and come back tomorrow night same place same time."

I opened our hotel room door and let Tiara walk in before me.

"I still don't understand why you need to get us the Royal Plaza suite we don't need three bedrooms and three bathrooms but I do like the butler." She said taking her jacket off only left in her dress and shoes.

"I've always wanted to stay at The Plaza so why not have the best room."

"…Because we don't need it!"

"Oh stop being grumpy we're going home now."

"Will you ever tell me why we stayed here for a month instead of finally going back to Louisiana? When you asked if I would come back with you I didn't know they switched New York with Covington."

I pulled Tiara close and kissed her, "I'm taking you back right now if you would stop nagging me."

She narrowed her eyes at me, "It's my job as your girlfriend. Won't we be there at maybe four in the morning?"

"Yeah but it's okay we need to explore. Why won't you let me make love to you? Since November 8th it's been way longer than you think."

"Hmm why do you want me so bad?"

"I want to make you feel good and when you wear stuff like this it's even more difficult to maintain self-control. I can't control the thoughts going through my mind."

"Well what is going through your mind?" She asked pulling me towards the couch and sitting down.

"I don't know if I should tell you I am better at demonstrating."

"And if I say no?"

"Then I won't tell you."

"Fine."

I pull Tiara onto my lap making her straddle me. Before she has time to think I give her long slow kiss. She put her hands on each side of my face as I put my hands on her ass pulling her closer. I pick her up, walk over to the wall, and press her back against it. I run my hands up Tiara's thighs slowly enjoying every soft inch. A moan escapes her mouth as I kiss up her neck making my way back to her lips. My fingertips played on the edges of her panties so desperately wanting to feel every part of Tiara. I looked down at her, blue to brown, "We have a flight to catch." I sat her down on her feet and kissed her one last time.

"But… can we… damn it."
