The Music of the Night

Chapter 20

For anybody who's not into the "romantic" parts of this story, you can skip past this. I'm just having a bit of fun with this chapter ;) (P.S., sorry if I get carried away lol. I'm absolutely nuts for Gerard Butler.)

After snuggling in bed for an hour, Gerard got dressed and said he was heading down to get some breakfast from the lobby. 

"Would you like to come?" he asked while brushing his hair.

Ellie declined politely. 

"I've already encountered enough people as it is. I don't feel like facing them today."

He nodded. 

"That's fine by me, love. Take all the time you need." 

"Thanks," she said, kissing his cheek.

When she pulled back from him, Gerard was giving her a smirk. 

"You missed."

Ellie furrowed her brows. 

"What?" 

"You've never heard that term before?" he asked, baffled. "What are they teaching you in America?"

"What are they teaching you in Scotland?" she asked back with a raised eyebrow and a equally mischievous smirk. 

He rolled his eyes playfully and pressed her against him, her hands resting on his chest. 

"When I said 'you missed'", Gerard continued. "I meant like this." 

He leaned down and kissed her, making her head spin in response. 

His lips played with hers as he lead her back over to the bed and laid her down, hovering over Ellie to reconnect the kiss.

His legs were straddling her, and she couldn't help the gasp that escaped her mouth when he slightly grinded his hips on hers. 

He stopped and glanced at her, his dark hair messy, which she preferred. 

It made him look sexier.

"You're never going to leave," Ellie said, breathless . "I would if I were you."

Gerard shook his head. 

"This is better," he said, smiling. "I don't think you're complaining."

"You're right, I'm not," she replied while running her hands through his amazing hair. 

He leaned into her touch, and she said sheepishly, "You have no idea how long I've been wanting to do that."

He chuckled and kissed her again, this time at a faster pace. 

He traveled to her jaw, then down to her neck, leaving butterfly kisses that lingered on her delicate skin. 

Ellie's hands moved under Gerard's shirt and felt his muscles, which were tensing every time he moved. 

He exhaled in the crook of her neck, his breath hot, and before she knew it, he pulled away to take his shirt off. 

He's so sexy, she thought with a moronic grin. I can't believe he was just a fantasy a few weeks ago.

They laid there for a moment, Ellie caressing his chest while Gerard placed loving kisses along her upper body. 

She eventually chuckled and said, "You're not leaving, are you?"

"Nope," he answered, shaking his head. 

"Good," she smiled. "Because I didn't want you to."

Gerard gasped playfully.
