Chapter XXVII: Un Séjour In Manhattan.

The next morning, I opened my eyes to find that my body was entwined with Elinor's. I was still naked and so was she, normally I would have gotten up immediately and taken a shower, however, this time, I never wanted to leave her side. I wanted to stay this way for the rest of my life, lying here, in her arms. She smelled so good and I closed my eyes again, leaned over and kissed her soft plump lips. She tasted so sweet, was this what falling in love feels like? I never thought I would ever feel this way, I thought that love was fake and it never truly does exist, but now I realise, as long as I was with her, my dreams and ambitions faded into nothing. I wonder, what does she dream of? What are her ambitions and plans for the future? She followed her mother's dreams, but what about hers? I know now that I have achieved one part of my dream that it's not something I truly long for. I suppose I was just too naive to see that. Now I know that my dream is her, she is my dream. She woke up and her eyes fluttered open, she never looked more beautiful, I smiled at her and kissed her cheek then forehead. "Good morning..." she said in the sexiest morning voice I had ever heard. I felt my face heat up as she leaned over and kissed my lips lazaly, I flopped down on the bed as she climbed on top of me deepening the kiss. She finally pulls away and leaves me wanting more of her. I can't help it, I get high on her, I am addicted to her, I always have been.

We both got up and got ready for the day. I wanted to spend all of my time with her, walk around the streets of the upper east side, do some shopping together, and maybe visit Brooklyn while we're at it. I needed to make the most of that day with her. I was so excited because while getting ready, she said that she wanted to take me somewhere as a surprise and that will probably take most of our time that day. Luckily for us, the photo shoot doesn't start until the next day. She grabbed my hand and took me to the downtown of Manhattan where all the luxury shops are mainly located. Everything was far too expensive and I didn't know why she would take me there knowing that I couldn't afford much with the money I earn. We entered a fancy boutique, and as soon as I set foot in it I felt as if I did not belong. The place was filled with such fancy gowns, ones I used to dream of when I was just a kid, the ones I would tell my mother I would buy for her because she looked like a princess and deserves to dress as such. I was too scared to touch anything because I was afraid I would damage the clothes. "Eli, why did you bring me here?"

"I wanted to spoil my special girl." Her special girl, the way she said it. She knows exactly how to make my heart flutter.

As we continued our stroll, my eyes fell upon a beautiful black gown. It was glowing and it gave me a nostalgic feeling when I looked into Eli's eyes. I felt as if that gown was part of her soul, so dark and mysterious yet, it has its special glow to it. Just like her eyes, it was just as dark and just as beautiful. "See what you like?" she said pulling me back to reality, she then followed my gaze and asked. "Why don't you try it on?"

"It's probably too expensive, I won't be able to afford it."

"Trying it on is free though, it doesn't hurt to just see how it fits."

"I suppose you're right... how about you, anything in particular that you liked."

"See that green dress over there, the one with the silk fabric and diamonds..."

"That's gorgeous! You'll look absolutely stunning in it!"

"I'll try it on if you try the black one."

"...fine."

And with that we each grabbed our gown and went to one of the fitting rooms in the back of the boutique. I slid into the dress and it felt as if it was made for me, I loved how it fit me so perfectly and how beautiful it made me feel. Once I was ready I stepped out of the fitting room and waited for Elinor to finish up herself. I stood in front of the mirror and pulled my hair up into a bun and smirked at my reflection feeling sexy. Just then I noticed Elinor step out and my jaw dropped to the floor. I had never seen such a stunning woman ever in my entire life. She was drop dead gorgeous, the dress complimented her every feature so perfectly and I couldn't help but wonder what she would look like if she was wearing a white dress instead...

She walked over to me and pushed me into a fitting room closing its curtains behind her. She dipped her head down to my neck and started kissing me tenderly. She made me feel alive and rebellious so without a thought I started touching her desperate to feel a sliver of her bare skin. Her lips then found mine and I felt an electric jolt fly all over my body. A few moments later I had to push her away, we were still in public and I couldn't risk her reputation getting ruined. After all she is still an amazing actress, probably the best one in the industry as for me, I am a "nobody" who was found by a producer. There was nothing special about my acting skills, I was good but not Elinor good. If anything, it was her who should have gotten the lead role in this movie and not me. The public already has mixed opinions about her, I am not sure how to keep her safe, not when she is with me. Now that I have her, I must show her that I only destroy all that I touch. I ruin things but never fix them. She is way too good for me. I didn't want to ruin her mood so I simply kept it to myself for the time being. A few moments later, we both changed into our regular clothes and as I walked towards the exit I noticed her far behind me talking to the cashier. That's when I noticed her purchasing both gowns. I stormed over to her and tried to tell her that she didn't need to do that, but she didn't seem to listen to me, instead she simply shrugged me off and handed me the newly bought dress. She then led me out of the store with a wide grin on her face. Seeing her so happy made my own worries flow away but there is still a nagging fear inside me almost as if we are being watched.

While we walked around in the streets, I noticed a sign in the corner of my eye. It was a pizzeria and not just any pizzeria, the one that Jean and I used to go to back when we were teenagers. I gasped at the sight of it and grabbed her hand while dragging her along with me. She was surprised at how I suddenly grabbed her and practically yanked her into the place. We were both giggling and laughing as we entered the place. I told her to sit down and I would order something for the two of us to which she agreed but with a sceptical look on her face. I told her to trust me and to close her eyes just before the pizza had arrived. She did as I asked and picked up a slice and fed it to her. She moaned softly and I slowly pulled the slice away and set it down on the plate. That was how we spent our day together until it was finally night time and we walked back to our hotel room. Just as I went into the bathroom to change into my nightwear, she stopped me and told me to wear the gown that she had bought for me saying that she had prepared a surprise for me.
