This story takes place at the same time as my book, "Forever and For Always". The difference is that this story is being told from the perspectives of my own original characters, Demetrius and Jessie Hart. It digs deeper into their relationship as w...

After a long day at work, I walk through the main entrance to the hotel and look to see Demetrius gazing at me lovingly as I walk up to the bar. I look at him with the same gaze and Demetrius opens the door to the bar and walks around to meet me. He wraps his arms around my waist while I wrap my arms around his neck and pull his face to mine and kiss him on the lips. He purrs softly in response to this. He pulls his lips away and presses his forehead against mine before closing his eyes for a brief moment, "hey, Baby. How's work today?"
I smile looking at him, "it was pretty good, babydoll but honestly, I'm glad to be home." He smiles at me and pecks me on the lips, "why don't you go ahead and get ready upstairs and meet me back down here when you're done. I should be finished up with my shift in a few minutes from now." I give him a kiss on the lips which makes him chuckle softly, "Sounds, good, baby. I love you.
He murmurs in reply, "I love you too, Mahal ko." I grin feeling happy that he called me his love and kiss his cheek before coming up to Angel and Husk and giving each of them a hug and a kiss on the cheek, "hey papa! Hey Kuya!" The both of them smile and greet me back warmly before I turn away and jog upstairs to my room. When I get upstairs to my room I hop into the shower and decide to wear something comfortable for our first 'official' date.
I wasn't entirely sure what Demetrius was planning to do or take me but it didn't really matter where we were as long as we were spending time together. I know that after Demetrius's portion of the date I wanted to take him up to the roof of the hotel and I wanted to help him conquer his fear of heights and teach him how to fly. A couple of hours had passed and I receive a text message from Demetrius stating that he's now off of work and waiting just outside of the bar for me. I smile down at my phone and brush my teeth and spray my mouth with peppermint spray and then freshen up with some perfume on my neck, chest and wrists before grabbing my keys and my purse and heading downstairs. I round the corner and see Demetrius propped up against the front of the bar.
I smile and run across the room to him. Looking a little shocked he braces himself and when I get up to him he grabs me by the waist and spins me around before setting my feet back on the ground. I giggled and wrapped my arms around his neck and kiss him on the lips. He smiles at me and takes one of my hands in his, "you ready to go?" I grin and give his hand a squeeze, "I was born ready, baby!"
He chuckles and leads me out through the back entrance still holding my hand. We get outside and I see his motorcycle gleaming in the red, hellish sunlight. We walk over to the side and he hands me a beautiful pink helmet trimmed with black, gold, white and magenta with a cute little bow on top. "Awww,... baby did you really go out and buy this for me?" His eyes light up and he smiles, "look at the back of it."
I turn the helmet around and see my name painted on it in this really nice font. My eyes watered up at the gesture and I throw my arms around him and embrace him in a kiss. He chuckles giddily. "Thank you, baby. I love it!"
He pulls me in close to him, "yeah, I had it customized just for you." I smile, "yeah I can see that. There's only one problem though." He raises an eyebrow and looks at me with a puzzled expression, "really? And what's that?"
I scratch the back of my head nervously, "well honestly, I've never been on a motorcycle before." He grins boyishly, "ahh, that's no problem, I'll help you." I smile feeling reassured. He takes the helmet from me and unbuckles the straps that are inside of the helmet. "First things, first, we've got to make sure it fits."
I smile and take the helmet back from him and place it over my head. He laughs instantly because the helmet squished my hair and pushed it in front of my eyes essentially making me blind. He pulls the helmet off of me and hands me some bobby pins, barrettes, and some scrunchies. I smile, "wow, you really thought of everything, didn't you?" He shrugs his shoulders, "I guess I get that from my dad."
I take a few of the hair accessories and pull my hair back and away from my face. When I look over at him I notice that he has this goofy grin on his face. I laugh, "what is it, D?" He shakes his head and places a hand on my cheek. "You should wear your hair like this more often.
I can see your face a lot better this way." I smile and place the helmet back over my head. With my hair pulled back I'm able to see everything much better. He lifts up the windshield of my helmet so that it's cracked open. "There.
Now you won't have to worry about your helmet fogging up." He grabs his helmet off of the back of his motorcycle and places it over his head and buckles it into place before checking to make sure mine is buckled properly. Then he turns to face his bike and swings his leg around to the opposite side and sits down on it and kicks up the kickstand before turning the key ignition on the bike. It cranks on and the engine makes a slight roaring and sputtering sound. He shouts at me over the engine, "you see that peg there on the side?" He points down to it.
I nod my head at him. "Okay, so you want to step up on it with your left foot and place your hands on my shoulders while swinging your right leg over to the other side to rest your foot on the other peg." I nod my head and do as he instructed, "okay, so now what?" He grins wildly and revs his engine. I instinctively wrap my arms around his waist and cling to him. "Hold on tight!" He turns the handles of the motorcycle and together we speed off down the road.
