Not Likely

Chapter 26

Instead, I move my hands from around his neck to around his hips. I lay my head on his shoulder and shut my eyes.

"I missed you" he whispers.

"I missed you too" I whisper back. He then picks my head up with hands and holds it in front of his face as he softly kisses my forehead.

I smile, then grab one of his hands and we begin to walk to the parking lot. But it doesn't take long before the paparazzi show up. They start clicking and flashing their cameras. But this time, not only for Josh. Their are plenty of them, just for me!

Since this is the first time that Josh and I have been together after I told the world that it was official we were dating, it's going to be a big deal in the world of paparazzi. And so it begins. But it actually wasn't that bad! We keep getting a lot of "congratulations" and "you two look so cute together!". But Josh doesn't seemed surprised that they know. Was he watching Ellen? Or did he tell in some press tour interview?

The paparazzi are still following us into the parking lot when a limo pulls up.

"Is that for us?" he asks.

"Yep" I smile. He pokes me in the stomach and puts his arm over my shoulder as we both laugh.

"Ladies first" he smiles and he holds open the door.

"Why thank you." I laugh as I crawl into the large limo. He soon follows and closes the door, leaving flashing lights of cameras behind. The limo is HUGE! We feel the limo driver pull away the second the door closes, and we are on the road. I scoot closer to Josh and hold his hand.

"I hope your not mad at me." he says, breaking the silence.

"Why would I be mad at you?" I ask.

"Because I told everyone that we were dating while I was on the press tour." he says sounding disappointed.

"Actually. I was on the Ellen Show yesterday, and when she asked.....I told her." I shrugged.

"Oh, well.....then I guess it's out!" he laughs. I laugh too.

"So yeah, I'm not mad at you. Ya know, it's actually pretty hard to get me mad." I smile.

"Is that so?" he laughs. Then he points his finger out, presses it under my chin and raises my head up. Then kisses me. First softly, then begins to deepen the kiss like he wished to in the airport. I allow it. Since I haven't kissed him in so long.

The kissing probably last around 2 minutes. It's doesn't sound long, and it doesn't feel long. But for a kiss, it is. Finally, we both decide to end this and we pull our lips apart. I smile and rest my head on his chest. It's my favorite spot. I listen to his steady heart beat and fall asleep with his warmth.

I wake up to the feel of the limo stopping. When I open my eyes, I see we had recently just parked in Josh's driveway. Once I am able to understand where we are, I look at my position and see that Josh and I are both unbuckled and laying on our sides. Our feet are on one side of the limo and our heads, the other. Josh has his arm around me so I didn't fall off the seat in my sleep. My arms are around him, in almost a hug.

"Josh" I whisper. "Josh, it's time to get up." I see his eyes slowly open and have the same reaction that I did. Confused on where we were, but once he found out.....he looked at our position. Then laughed.

"What are we doing?" he laughed.

"I have no idea." I smile. We both sit up from our awkward position and rub our eyes.

We suddenly hear and knock on the window. It's the limo driver.

"We are here" he screams.

We both step out and in to the light. I walk Josh in. He stops me at the doorway.

"Thank you for coming to the airport" he says.

"No problem" I smile. He hugs me and then kisses my cheek.

"See you soon then?" he asks, confirming our plan to meet up with my parents.

"Ya, like around 6:30 if that's okay. So that we can have dinner."

"Yep" he says.

I hug him a last time, but squeezing tighter than before. I feel his warmth under his soft clothing, with the light sent of cologne.

"Thank you." I say.

"Your welcome" he smiles.

I smile back and release him, then begin to walk back to the limo.

"I love you" he calls out. It catches me off guard for a second, since we haven't said anything like that for a while.

"Love you too" I call back.
