~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

It's been about two weeks since Cate confessed her affection towards you and you did the same.
You guys physically haven't seen each other since she had to travel to Venice for the Armani Beauty new fragrance premiere; You on the contrary had to stay back in London for shooting. You guys were both getting acknowledged by the media, you for previous movies and shows and Cate for her previous role in a movie and being a global brand ambassador.

You were lounging in your common room of your estate, binge watching this new show that has been making headlines in the media and from the critics, "House of dragons".
You weren't the biggest fan of the medieval movies or shows, but, enjoyed them once in a while.
Ten minutes into the fifth episode your door bell rang, setting your popcorn on the marble coffee stand and pausing your show. You walked over, getting the door and opening it.

"Omg! you're back!" You screamed, running to hug the person at your door.
"I thought I'd come by to surprise you" Cate cheered.

"Oh forgive me, please. Do come in" You offered.

You closed the door once she was in, you guys made it back to the common room and sat down.

"So how come you didn't come in the morning?" You pondered, taking the bowl of popcorn and eating a few.

"To be frank I didn't feel like going back home just yet, to far of a drive, and why not come by to surprise the beautiful lady" Cate replied removing her hand from her hair and taking some popcorn as well.

You blushed by that comment.

"You have anything to drink? Strong?" The blonde questioned.
"Mhm I do" You stated, leaving your spot and walking to the kitchen.

"I have tequila, vodka, bourbon, and some extravagant wine.
   All sorts really" You said looking back from the cabinet.

"Mhm, bourbon sounds lovely" Cate exclaimed meeting your gaze.

You walked back over with the bottle of bourbon and two glasses, sitting back down you popped the cork and poured the liquid into the glasses.
Handing one to Cate you guys clink your glasses and sipped.

Cate sipped more of her bourbon, and took a look around the place until she saw something that peeked her interest, a record player.
"Ooo, why not some music, to set the mood" She inquired getting up and wandered over. She looked through your vinyls and picked one up, taking it out the cover and placing it on the plate and carefully lining the needle up.
(Song to play along: Stand by me)

The melody of "Stand by me" started playing,
Cate walked over dancing along reaching her hand out.

"Care to dance?" She asked.
"Cate I don't dance" You laughed raising your hands.

"Oh nonsense come on" The blonde said, pulling you up, and you both started dancing.

You messed up on a few steps, but, tried your best to keep up.

"Just follow the melody" Cate said, now placing a hand on your waist and rocking slowly. You relaxed and within minutes you were dancing effortlessly.

"There we go!" Cate cheered.
Looking into your eyes Cate began to sing.
"So darlin', darlin' stand by me, oh, stand by me oh, stand, stand by me, stand by me" She sang, you laughing at the feeling of this, but, with joy.

Waltzing along the room, she twirled you around pulling you back in closely faces just inches apart.
You could feel yourself getting hotter by the second, Cate began singing along the lyrics again "I won't cry, I won't cry, no, I won't shed a tear... Just as long.. as you stand, stand by me" The blonde smiled looking into your eyes.
