Sliding Doors - 2 (English Version)

Chapter 56

Hero

"Wow Jo! You look great!!!" I take a good look at her, from head to toe, and she is simply gorgeous...

She's wearing a black dress that leaves her shoulders bare, knee-length and killer high heels!
I know she doesn't like wearing heels, but it drives me crazy how she moves in them!

She could go out in her pyjamas and she'd be just as beautiful, even in her piggy pyjamas.
She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life!
I am literally smitten with her.

"Thank you..." She smiles as she lowers her gaze "You look pretty good yourself..." She adjusts my shirt collar and I take the opportunity to kiss her gently on the lips.

We stay for a moment with our foreheads resting against each other, breathing in our scent.
I love the scent of her skin, it's like a drug.
I take her hands and caress them.

"We're already late..." She smiles.

"Well if you hadn't wanted to make love twice, maybe..." I tease her.

"Ah, now it's my fault!" She exclaims pretending to be scandalised.

I take her car keys and snap a kiss on her cheek, before opening the door and making room for her to get out.
As soon as she passes me I spank her bottom, leaving her breathless for a moment.

"You're awful..." She shakes her head amused.

"Now don't get excited eh..." I tease her.

"Come on..." She smiles taking the keys from my hand.
I know how much she loves driving and I relax watching her drive the streets of L.A like she's lived there forever.

The party takes place at a large venue near Santa Monica, with a large indoor room but an even larger outdoor space.

When we arrive there are already quite a few people outside and the paparazzi are stationed in front of the entrance.

We exchange a thoughtful glance and it is clear that we are both thinking the same thing.
That time we were caught together at my birthday party was enough. It wasn't exactly pleasant and I would have gladly punched some intrusive paparazzi.

"Will there be a back entrance?" I ask.

She nods and parks her car in a street not far from the venue.

"I'll try calling Josie..." She picks up the phone and waits for her colleague to answer...

"Nothing... It went to voicemail..." She huffs as she looks in front of her "What do we do? They can't..."

"...see us together..." I complete her sentence by sighing and settling myself better on the seat.

We have to think of a way to get in without being seen, but what?

We remain silent for a few minutes, without finding any solution that might be feasible.

"We're going to be late..." Puffs Jo, leaning her head on the steering wheel disconsolately.

I don't know how to solve this situation.

"You could come in, in the meantime..." I propose.

She raises her head and looks at me as if I had spoken heresy. Effectively though, it is the only way to get her to join the party with her colleagues.

"It's not fair that you don't go just because I'm there with you..." I take her hand.

"No, we have to find a way... There has to be..."

"You could go inside and look for a back door so I can get in too..."

She looks at me and seems to think about the words I said.
She sighs and rests her head on the steering wheel again.
