Working For Rammstein

The Barbeque

I skipped up the stairs gleefully and found my swimsuit from yesterday. It was still a little damp, so I tossed it in the dryer for a few minutes while I took off my make-up and put my hair down, making it fall in loose curls around my shoulders. I took the bikini out of the dryer and ran back to my room to put it on. 

I ran down the stairs taking them two at a time, not thinking to grab a towel. When I reached the pool deck, I halted and proceeded calmly. Most of the guys were in the pool or lounging around on pool chairs, save Till, who was doing all the cooking. Richard didn't seem to be out yet, so I walked over to Till.

"Don't we have a chef to cook for us?" I asked him.

"We do, but sometimes I give him a day off so that my cooking skills don't get so terrible that I'll starve if he isn't there." he laughed, not looking away from the grill. I place my hand on his arm playfully, which struck his attention. "That's a beautiful swimsuit." he said, eyeing me down.

"It most certainly is, Aidon." Richard said from behind me, scaring the crap out of me. I turned to look at him and was stunned. Google didn't lie. He had very dominant pectoral muscles, and his biceps were to die for.

"Um, thank you." I stuttered. 'Richard, please put a shirt on so I can think clearly, bitte.' I thought pleadingly. No such luck. Instead he walked over and kissed me. 

The kiss was soft, yet needy, as if he was warning the other guys not to come near me. It took a second for me to react to what he was doing and for me to kiss him back. I could feel eyes on us, but I didn't care. I was kissing my celebrity crush. I was kissing Richard Zven Kruspe. 

He pulled back all too soon and smiled a big cheesy grin, "I guess you weren't lying."

"Nope." I laughed.

Everyone around us stopped what they were doing and stared at us. "I guess your date went well, ja?" Ollie snickered. That seemed to have broken the tension, because everyone was laughing, well, except for Till. He just turned back around and returned to grilling.

"I guess you could say that." I laughed again. 

~Till's POV~

He just kissed her! And she kissed him back! As happy as I was for my friend, I wanted this one. I wanted to know that somebody actually loved me and not how famous I was. But now, I knew I couldn't have her, at least not at the pace I was going. If I was going to have Aidon to myself, then I was going to have to speed things up, but I couldn't scare her back into Richard's arms. That would hurt me more than anything.

I had two options: make Aidon choose, or choose for her. For now, I would make her choose, but if things got ugly, I would take matters into my own hands.

~Aidon's POV~

Richard and I were swimming in the deep end of the pool very close to eachother. As much as I loved the attention, I really wanted to take things slow, and kissing after the first date in front of all our friends isn't exactly slow. "We're going a little fast aren't we?" 

"What would you consider the appropriate pace?" I wasn't sure how to respond to that.

"Well, I don't know, but I just met you yesterday, and we've already gone out on a date and kissed in front of everyone. Don't you think that's taking it too fast?" I asked.

He studied my face before answering and I thought I was gonna melt from his gaze. "Do you?" 

I thought about it. Did I really have a problem with it? I mean, I've known him for five years, I guess I was just worried I would scare him off, but if he made the first move, then why should I be worried. "I   guess I didn't have as big as a problem with it as I originally thought. After all, I guess I was just worried about what you thought. But if you don't have a problem with moving this fast, then neither do I."
