Heartstrings in Play

Chapter 4

We spent the whole night drinking and talking. I wound up staying the night at his house. I wake up the next day and look at my phone.  I have a text from Sam.

- Girl, where are you? I came by your house and you were not home. I read the text and laughed. I text back.

-Remember the guy I met at the club..... Well, I'm at his house."
I get up, go to the bathroom and take a shower. Thirty minutes later sage walks in and starts packing his clothes.

" Where are you going ?" I asked him as I'm walking out of the bathroom.

" I don't stay in one place amore." He says with a smile.

I take a deep breath and sit on the bed.

" So where are you going exactly?" I ask him hoping he stays.
" You know Mariah, I love to travel. You never know about me. " He says as he walks to me.
He puts his arms around my waist.

" You want to go with me ?" He asked me.

" Sage, I don't have any clothes with me. I mean these clothes are cute but I would not wear them again."

He laughs and starts to load his car down with bags. I walk outside. He looks at me.

"Are you coming with me or not ?" he asks me as he lifts my chin making our eyes meet.

" I don't know sage... I can't I- " I say putting my head on his chest.

" Can't or won't?" he said looking at me.

I look at him and say, " Both unless you can change my mind. "

He kisses me and holds my hand. " Please come with me."

I take a deep breath.

" Sage, I don't even have clothes with me ."

" So I could buy you some. " He says as he kisses my head.

"Sage, I couldn't ask you to do that."

" But I want to." He says with a smile
I smile at him.
" You want me to don't you?"
"I don't want to be without you baby."

"Ok sweetie I will go with you , but where ?"

" Anywhere you want, baby." He says with a smile as he picks me up and spins me around.

He drives me home and helps me pack.

"Where do you want to go, Mari ? "

I finished packing.

" Could we go to Miami?"

He puts my bags in the car.

" Sure everything is all set."
I look at him and smile.  We get in the car and he drives to the airport. We get on the plane , and about two hours later we make it to Miami. He helps me off the plane.

" Ok baby girl, what do you want to do first ?" He asks me as he kisses my cheek.
I laugh and smile at him.

" Well first of all I need clothes."

He laughs.

" You packed your whole closet.... and you need new clothes?"
I kiss his cheek.

" So shopping?"

" I can't tell you no baby lets go ."

We leave the airport , get in the car , and head to the mall. He hands me his card.

" Here go crazy baby." He says with a smile.

I took his card from him.

" Are you sure sweetie?" I ask him as I look into his eyes.

" I'll do anything to see you smile amore ."

Three hours later we are done shopping . We are finally at the room where Sage booked it for a month. I walk around the room and set my bags down. He walks to me.

" Want to go to the beach baby?" He said as he put his arms around my waist.

" You just want to see me in my swimsuit baby."
I say as I put my arms around his neck.

"Mmm seeing you in a swimsuit.... We might not make it to the beach."  He said with a smirky smile. I look into his eyes as our body's are still close together and I kiss him.
I laugh and smile at him.
" Knowing you, yeah we would not leave the room." I said as I kissed his cheek.
He runs his fingers up and down my cheek,
"Baby I got to get changed."  I said as I played with his hair.
" You can do that later , but right now you're busy." He said as he pushed me against the wall.
I put my arms around his neck and kissed him.  Our eyes met like it was the first time we met. We start kissing, 
" From here on out you're mine." he whispers in my ear.
I don't say anything , just feeling his touch gives me the chills going down my spine.
He whispers in my ear again.
I look at him and smile.
" I blame you."
"I can stop if you want me to."
" Don't you dare stop, baby. "
He smiles at me.
" So you want me to keep going?"
" Of course I do!"
He smiles. After a while we made love , and then went on a walk. He looked at me.
" What is it sage ?" I ask him
" It's my brother, he wants me to handle some business while I'm here."
" What kind of business sweetie?"
He takes a deep breath and says,
" The less you know the better. Just know everything is not what it seems and I will come back for you."  He says as he kisses my cheek.
While I was still in Miami I visited some friends and stayed with them until reality set back in and I went back home to LA. I couldn't stop thinking about what sage said though , but he wouldn't have stayed. He's a bad boy, you can never tame them.
