in the room where you sleep

eight

I woke up to the sun peeking through the curtains and gleeming on my eyes. I shot up out of bed and looked over seeing Johnny wasn't there. As I look around the room, I hear the water running in the bathroom. I got up and put on my panties and bra and walked over to the bathroom and knocked on the door. 

"Johnny?" I spoke up. He opened the door in the midst of brushing his teeth. I walked in, jumped up and sat on the large marble counter. He quickly finished and wrapped his arms around me, his skin warmly pressed against mine. He placed the sweetest kiss on my lips.

"You... are... just... perfect." He said inbetween kisses. I placed my hands on his hips and wrapped my legs around him. I giggled and kissed him back. He picked me up off the counter and brought me back to the bed, making out with every inch of me. As things were getting heavy, the hotel phone rang. He groaned and leaned over to answer it. I scooted away and sit criss-crossed on the bed. He hung up and face planted on the bed.

"I was hoping to round two from last night, but we have to get going. You know, the wonderful joys of hollywood comradery." I smiled and kissed him once more before crawling out of bed. 

"Well, let's not make them wait." I got dressed in jeans and Johnny's black button up. We headed to the premier location so he could get ready with wardrobe and such. It all happens so fast. We get there and are instantly taken to a trailer. After looking through numerous outfits, Johnny settled on a black suit with thin white stripes. After that was done, they did his hair and styled it. As fast as it started, was even faster to finish. It was just us now waiting at the theater. I was just in awe of this man. 

"You look so handsome." I whispered. He kissed me and grabbed my hand, spinning me around then pulling me close to him.

"And you look ravishing in my clothes." I smiled and clinged onto his arm. 

"So listen, it's going to go really fast once we hit the carpet. It can be a little intense with paparazzi."

"I'll be alright. I'm just following your lead." He nodded and kissed the side of my head, wrapping his arm around my back tightly, not letting go for a second. Before we knew it, we were hitting the red carpet. Cameras flashing, people yelling his name, everything. As we walked, we stopped and posed a few times, then walked on into the theater and got settled in our seats towards the front. I still clinged to Johnny's arm, looking around at everything.

"So this is what it's like, huh?"

"Pretty much. But I tell you what, I'm ready to leave. I hate watching myself."

"Why's that?"

"I don't know I just do. These movies aren't meant to be watched by me, they're meant to be watched by the fans. They're the ones who get to enjoy it."

"Well, are you allowed to leave after speaking?"

"I can, yeah. Unless you want to stay and watch it."

"I got a firsthand look. Plus I know what a weeks long bad trip is supposed to look like. We can leave after you're done. I'd rather be alone with you anyways." I chuckled. 

"I'd prefer that more than anything, doll."

After 30 minutes, Johnny finished his speech before the film and without hesitation, we ducked out and went back to the hotel. We both were exhausted and just wanted to lay in bed. I laid beside Johnny, laying my arm across his chest with our legs intertwined. He fingers trailed through my hair.

"I'm really glad you came with me. I don't think I would've been as calm and stress free wihtout you by my side." I looked up at him and kissed him.

"Of course. Anything for you. I love you." He shifted his body to be on top of me and he kissed me passionately.

"I love you too. More than you know, doll." I smiled and placed both my hands on the sides of his face, pulling him to my lips once more. This is all I could ever want and need.
