On My Way To You

5

As they were walking back to his townhome Stevie cleared her throat. "So what is your favorite song?" 

"Well, after tonight I think I have a new favorite song." He chuckles. 

"Oh?" She asks looking up at him. 

"It used to be the Jailhouse Rock, but I think it now might be Crystal." He tells her. 

"Agh, Elvis...even I can't compete with Elvis." She shakes her head. 

"I think you're better than Elvis." He replies. 

"Oh really?" 

"Really." He nods pointing to his house as they approach it. He leads her in and she greets Duke, and then she turns to Lindsey. 

"I really like you...like I really, really like you." 

"You do?" He asks.

"I know it's only been a couple of months, but I really do like you." She nods. 

"I like you too. Stevie." He smiles. 

"Good, so that makes this a lot easier." She smiles digging in her clutch and handing him two small rectangular devices.

"What are these?" He asks.

"These are iPhones for you and Stella. My number is already in them."

"Both of them?" He inquires.

"Both of them..." She trails off.

"You know, Stella is a huge fan and she's going to have a field day when she finds out that she has your cellphone number." 

"Just make sure she doesn't share it and I'll be okay. I'd like to meet her Lindsey...if that's okay with you." 

"Why do you want to meet her?" Lindsey asks.

"I want to meet her, because I have a thing for her father." Stevie clasps her hands at the nape of his neck. 

They were so close together and as they were breathing each other in, there was something pulling them together. They weren't sure who was the one that leaned in first but within a beat they were making out at the threshold of the door.

Lindsey woke up the next morning on his stomach and he looked to his left. The bed was empty. They did have sex that night, Stevie asked for a shirt to change into and he gave her one. And then they watched a movie like the night of the Christmas party. She fell asleep on him again and when the movie ended and he woke her up, she asked if she could just stay the night. He nodded, knowing full well that he could sleep on the couch. He showed her to his bedroom and then she got comfortable while he went into the master bathroom and changed into his pajamas. He was going to leave the bedroom but she looked at him with such sad eyes and said 'stay'. He agreed and crawled in the bed with her. But then she kissed him goodnight and then she ended up on top of him and then one thing led to another. Stevie didn't take the shirt off while they made love, but his pants were quickly discarded. The only reason he even put them back on, was because Duke needed to go out. 

As he was waking up the door pushed open and he laughed lightly. "Thank god you're still here." 

She bit into the apple in her hand and then she smirked. "Wake up Mr. Man, I made pancakes." 

"You made pancakes, but you're eating an apple?" He asks.

"I always have some form of fruit with breakfast." She smiles. 

"Okay." He nods standing up. When he makes his way over to her, her phone rings. She kisses him quickly and hands him the apple and then she grabs it off of the dresser and answers it. 

"Hi Karen...." Lindsey assumes it's her assistant. 

"Yes, I'm with Lindsey...still..." She pats his cheek and walks out of the bedroom.

"Still..." Lindsey repeats and nods following her out into the main part of the townhome. 

She finishes her conversation while Lindsey starts working on the pancakes she had laid out for him. When she hangs up she turns around and smiles at him. "Thank you for last night." 

"I didn't do anything." He shakes his head. 

"I got famous when I was 16. I've never been to an actual school dance. Last night was a great experience...And, you stayed with me when I asked you too. And what followed that...well that was amazing." She smiles.

"Really!" Lindsey gasps. The woman had slept with Don Henley, this mega rockstar guy and she just called him amazing in bed. 

"Really." She nods sipping some Orange Juice before handing him the cup. 

"Well I mean my bed is comfier than the couch so..." He trails off in a joking manor. 

"So what is the plan for today?" 

"What do you mean what is the plan for today?" Lindsey shakes his head. 

"I'm not really ready to leave you and Karen is bringing me some clothes. So what's the plan?" 

"Well, I'm picking Stella up at noon. I told her I'd take her to get some lunch." Lindsey shrugs. 

"Great, I'll go with you...I told you last night that I wanted to meet her." Stevie shrugs. 

"Are we a thing?" Lindsey asks.

"A thing?" Stevie clarifies. 

"Yeah, a thing?" 

"We'll see where it goes." She smirks.

Just then the door opened and Stevie and Lindsey stopped their mindless flirting and their heads swiveled to the door. 

"I guess I'm not picking Stella up at noon..." He trails off. 

"Heidi's mom tried a new recipe for breakfast bagels...Apparently her brother is allergic to sausage gravy. He can have sausage but there's something in the gravy." Stella states.

"Sausage Gravy, that's the weirdest allergy ever...did you get to eat something though?" Lindsey asks.

"No they woke us up saying they were going to take him to the hospital. They said we could stay and eat but Heidi wanted to go with them. Their dad dropped them off at the hospital and then brought me home." 

"Well there's pancakes." 

"You made pancakes?" 

"I didn't make pancakes...Stevie made pancakes." 

"Stevie?" She cocks an eyebrow.

"Hi Stella it's a pleasure to finally meet you." Stevie appears from behind Lindsey. 

Stella freaks out for a moment and Lindsey and Stevie just watch on laughing lightly. When her freakout moment is over, Stevie comes around the counter and gives her a hug and leads her to the island where the pancakes were laid out.
