Chapter 8: BY YOUR SIDE

TOM KAULITZ

I laid in the bed holding her naked body, snuggling her and gently caressing her arm. She was fast asleep, lying facing me. I gazed upon her beautiful petite face and I admired her full pink lips that were slightly parted as she slept. Her dark hair was sprawled behind her on the pillow. I watched her as the dawn of the city splashed purple and pink about the room. I pulled her closer to me and she reached her arms around me to hold. For a moment, she rubbed her fingers on my bare chest then she stopped and fell back asleep. I laid there looking at the ceiling with so many emotions and thoughts racing through my head. I thought of tonight and last night. In a mere forty-eight hours, I had met and fell for a girl I barely knew. Was I falling for her? Had I already fell? I myself was questioning my true feelings because they were so foreign to me. I have only had one other girl who have made me feel somewhat happy. That relationship was built on so much turmoil and chaos that we both knew it would not last. It ended badly and she resented me for the type of life I made her live when she was with me. Bonnie was different. She was a self-made independent woman who wanted me but made sure I knew she did not need me. I think that is what I like most about her. She is fun, sarcastic and I truly enjoy being around her. While I am so sexually attracted to her, I like when she speaks, I love hearing her stories and making her laugh. She was just as any woman but somehow different. I cannot really describe what it is that she does to me but I like it. My eyes began to slowly close and I fell asleep dreaming about my dream girl who laid sleeping in my embrace.

"Good morning beautiful" I sang carrying a tray of breakfast and fresh fruit.

Bonnie turned over smiling wiping her face with her hands. "Hello."

I sat the tray down on the bed and she began to eat the fruit right away. I sat down beside her and rubbed my hands on her naked back.

"How are you?" I asked her. She let out a surprisingly loud laugh, as I looked confused.

"I've been fucking Tom Kaulitz of Tokio Hotel, how do you think I'm doing?"

I laughed at her observation. The bright sun was glaring through the window making the spotless room shine.

"Who are you texting?" I asked her, leaning over into her phone.

"Jeez, back up" she said smiling. "Well if you must know I am texting Natalie who happens to be on a breakfast date with Georg."

"Really?" I asked. I could only imagine how hilarious it would have been to see Georg ask Natalie out on a date. To ask anyone out for that matter.

"So" I started. "I have a surprise for you. I got you something while you were sleeping."

"What is it?" she asked eagerly.

I walked over to the white sofa and reached for the plastic bag. She sat up and wrapped the bed sheets around her naked body patiently waiting. I reached in the bag, pulled out the huge box set, and held it in the air for her to see.

"OMG! REALLY!" she screamed.

Her laugh echoed the room and I could not help but to laugh as well at her excitement.

"Yup!" I said with a huge grin on my face. I had woke two hours earlier and decided to go out and get her something. At first, I thought to go out and buy her flowers from the many stores on the strip but I want to make it special. I remembered our conversation at dinner and her utter shock that I had never read the books or seen the movies. I also remembered that she said she hated flowers.

"All four movies?" she asked.

I sat next to her taking the movies out of the packaging.

"Yup, all eight movies. We are going to watch them in order."

Her face lit up with happiness.

"Yup", I continued. "It's a total of nineteen hours for all eight movies so clear your schedule for today. We're going to order room service and do nothing besides watching these movies."

Bonnie stood up and kissed me hard on the mouth.

The hours flew by as we watched movie after movie. I sat there fascinated and confused as to what I was watching. The daylight turned to night and the room grew the shade of blue from the television screen. Every few moments Bonnie had to pause the movie to explain to me what exactly what was going on and I knew that our eleven-hour movie binge would go on longer than expected. We sat there on the white couch cuddling under a blanket. I caressed her warm body as she snuggled underneath me watching the movie with bright eyes and laughing. I sat there playing in her hair; wrapping the curls around my fingers as she laughed louder and louder.

"I want you to come to St. Barths with me." I said. Bonnie paused the movie and looked at me confused.

"Huh?"

I sat up straighter and asked her. "Would you come to St. Barths with me? The guys and I are leaving for holiday in December and I want you to come with me." Bonnie looked stunned.

"I don't know what to say...Um, I have a business to run. December is next month. I cannot just leave. For how long?" She questioned.

"Sixteen days"

"Sixteen Days? I cannot leave my business for two and a half weeks Tom. I have a makeup workshop to teach the month of December. I cannot abandon my clients."

I sat pulling on my beard. "I will pay for you to leave," I said.

"I don't want your money. What do you mean pay for me? I'm no whore up for purchase."

I could tell I offended her and she stood up abruptly dragging the sheets gripped around her naked body.

"No, No. I didn't mean it that way," I said cautiously. I stood up and placed my hands over hers. "What I mean is I understand you're running a business and for that I will pay for those days lost so you can be with me. Strictly for your business and if you have had anyone pay you already I will give you the money to give back to them. Maybe work out a rescheduling process. I just want to be with you and I will do anything to have you with me. This is all new to me. I don't know what I'm feeling or where it's taking me but I know it's with you."

Her face softened and she reached her hand behind my head and gently kissed me. Her eyes raced back and forth to mine and I grabbed her up to kiss her once more.  My whole body sank forward into her arms. Her lips moved against mine, exploring my mouth so gently. I tried to mimic her movements--slowly, uncertainly, until I didn't have to think about it at all. It just felt right. She let out a soft moan at my reaction and cupped her hands behind my head in my hair, pulling me closer until I couldn't tell where my mouth ended and hers began. A liquid sensation swooped throughout my stomach. It was the most amazing thing I'd ever felt and it kept growing, the vibrating heat expanding outward. I was surprised I was still able to stand.
