A Friendship Or More

Decisions

It had been a moth sence Travis had come back, and what time I did get to spend with him, I enjoyed. Norman on the other hand seemed hell bent to keep us apart. Always claiming he need me for something. I loved and hated this all at the same time. I loved that Norman wanted to spend time with me, but why did it have to get in the way of Tavis and I?
I was sure Norman didn't want me having a boyfriend, but that wasn't fair. I had given him plenty of opportunities. He had told me plenty of times he didn't want a relationship, or it wasn't the right time. So for him to try and interfere in my relationship was just plain selfish of him. I just wish I had the heart to tell him to stop, or at least ask him what he was doing.
Today I wasn't prescheduled to do anything. I was hopping that I could talk to Travis andidn't maybe move farward. The more I thought about it and accepted that I wasn't going to be with Norman. The more being with Travis and having all the things we had talked about sounded great. As usual though Norman was the first to call getting up at his ungodly hours. I groaned as I answered the phone.
"It's Saturday!" I groaned. Norman laughed.
"I had an idead, I wanted to take you away, maybe for the night, what do you say?" He asked sounding excited. I was wondering who he thought he was.
"I'm not going away where alone with you for the night," I said laying back down. Norman chuckled.
"Was worth a shot, but seriously, I wanna take you out to Atlanta," he sais still excited. I smiled we had been talking about going to Atlanta for a while now.
"Alright and what will we be doing in Atlanta?" I asked. I heard him light a ciggarette.
"A day of me spoiling you, just like you deserve," he said. I made a face.
"What do you mean spoiling?" I asked. I heard him chuckel again.
"I mean leave your wallet at home," he said. "Now hurry up and get your ass going," he laughed hanging up on me. I made a face. I knew he hung up so I couldn't argue, with him. I sighed getting up and heading to start coffee. I wasn't sure what he ment by spoiling me. I didn't need to be spoiled, really didn't want to be.
I finshed getting the coffee going and I went to shower. After my shower, I looked threw clothes and heard my phone, I looked and saw it was Travis.
"Hello," I said happily.
"Aww, your already awake," he said sounding sad. I kinda chuckeld.
"You don't know Norman," I laughed. He kinda chuckled.
"Did he already snag you for the whole day?" Travis asked. I sighed, picking out something to wear.
"Yeah, he's already claimed me," I said, still looking. Travis sighed.
"Well, what are you doing tomorrow? " He asked. I thought about it. Norman had said something about spending the night, but then again, he always said stuff like that, so I wasn't too worried.
"I should be free," I said smiling.
"Good, because I really miss you," Travis said. I smiled.
"I miss you too," I said. I heard Travis take a breath.
"I really wanna talk about us," he said almost sounding shy. I was smiling.
"Me too," I agreed. I heard him chuckel.
"I hope we are still in the same page," he said. I smiled. If he still wanted to get together we were.
"I'm pretty sure we are," I said smiling.
"Good, so tomorrow? Spend the whole day with you, and if I'm lucky maybe the night?" He asked. I smiled, it had been a month sence I begged him to fill the hole in my heart. I was ready now to feel that kinda love again, but this time not to use it as an escape form the pain, but with the want and need to be loved by someone who cared for me.
"We will see," I smiled, kinda laughing. I heard Travis chuckled too.
"See you tomorrow, beautiful," he said and we hung up. I finished getting dressed, when a knock came on my front door. I smiled, Norman was getting earlier and earlier. I went to answer it. I opend the door to a dozen or so Japanese Lillys, yep this was Norman.
"What are these for?" I asked smiling at him as he smiled back at me and handed me the flowers.
"Nothing," he shrugged as he kissed the side of my head. I hugged him tightly.
"Well they are beautiful! Thank you so much!" I said kissing his cheek. He smiled.
"Does he even know your favorite flower?" Norman asked eyeing the roses on the table. I rolled my eyes at him as I set his beside them.
"He's sweet, leave him alone," I said. Norman made a face.
"Ok, fine, whatever, you ready?" He asked. I looked at him like he was nuts, my hair was still a mess and I had no makeup on.
"No, can you see me or do you need glasses?" I asked laughing. Norman smiled.
"Ohh I see you, and your beautiful," he said kissing my lips this time. I wanted to say something, tell him it wwasn't appropriate, but he knew that. Insted I smiled and shook my head and walked away. Norman fallowed and watched as I played my hair.
"What should I do with it?" I asked. He smiled.
"Doesn't matter, whatever you do will be beautiful," he said. Kssing my head. I smiled.
"Thanks, I said finnaly deciding to do something simple. I like that Norman and Travis both didn't care if I dressed like a fashion model, or if my hair was perfect. They both seemed to find me beautiful no matter what. I started on my make up when Noeman stopped me, turning me to look at him.
"I don't know what he likes, but I prefer you not to wear a lot, I love your natural beauty. If you would I'd just say go out the way you are, but I know you won't," Norman said, kissing my head. I smlied, he really did know how to make a feel special.
"Alright," I agreed, doing a light foundation and a simple eye. When I was finished I looked at him, and he smiled.
"Just so beautiful, " he said lowly, comming tward me and pulling me close. We held each other a long time before Norman decied to let go. "Ready?" He asked. I smiled and nodded. We headed out and got in to Norman's Jeep. I smiled seeing the corder for my phone to play music on my seet, I plugged it in as Norman got in the Jeep.
"So what are we doing?" I asked. Looking threw my phone for a song. Norman was smiling at me when I looked up for his response.
"Breakfast," he said. I made a face.
"Do I only get to know one thing at a time?" I asked, kinda giggling. Norman made a face.
"No, you can ask, and if I wanna tell you I will. If not, you'll have to wait and see, " he said smiling and starting the Jeep
I made a face at him.
"I don't like this game," I said. I hated not knowing where we were going or what we were doing. He chuckled.
"Too bad," Norman said as we drove along. I sighed but didn't age with him. I knew it would get me no where anyways if I did. He said I was stubborn, but so was he. We dove out tward Atlanta and stopped a little while after that at a restrant. I smiled at him, we had been talking and having such a great time. I always did though when I was with him. We got out and as usual Norman had my hand, I smiled, that had never changed. We went in found a table and ordered.
"Anything?" I asked. Norman looked at me like he wasn't sure what I was talking about. "Anything else your going to tell me?" I asked, with a laugh. He smiled.
"Already told you, Atlanta and your getting spoiled, and I don't wanna hear any bullshit," he said sturnly. I eyed him, he was hot when he was being authoritative. I smiled.
"Yes sir," I said laughing. He smiled.
"Mmh, and if your good later..." he kinda chuckled. I shook my head. His empty promises still killed me.
"I can go home and sleep?" I asked. He made a face at me.
"No, I never said that," he made a face I laughed.
"Travis wants to hang our tomorrow," I said lowly, Norman made a face, he was unhappy with that.
"I said I wanted you, for the night to," he said lolwy. I made a face at him.
"Norman, you always say that, and it never goes anywhere, I always end up going home, and you know it," I pointed out. Norman looked upset. I sighed, why couldn't he be happy for me.
"You decied your dating him yet?" he asked. I didn't want to talk about it here, and now with him. I shrugged.
"Norman.." I tired to reason with him, but he cut me off.
"No, you said you'd tell me," he growled. I sighed.
"I just don't want to be alone," I said lowly. He kinda laughed.
"Buy a cat," he said. I threw him a look.
"I wanna be with someone," I said, he scoffed. I was annoyed.
"You knew I wanted to be in a relationship, you've had plenty of time to decide. You odviously don't want one, why can't I be happy?" I asked. Norman looked at me, I couldn't read his face.
"Are you happy with me?" He asked. I was taken back by his question. How was I supposed to answer that? We weren't dating, but yes, I loved being with him. Finnaly I decided on the truth.
"Yes, I love being with you, hanging out all day and most of the night," it was the truth, I never wanted to leave his arms when I finnaly got in them, they were home, they always had been. He nodded.
"But you like being with him," he said lowly. I was about to answer when our food came, and we thanked the waitress. Norman looked at me when she was gone.
"Yes," I said. I don't want to tell Norman Travis had kinda always been his like stand in. When I wanted Norman and couldn'thave him. I seemed to find Travis. I kinda felt like I was using him, but at sametime I did really like him.
"And if you had to choose?" Norman said. I took in a sharp breath. The answer was simple it always would be, if I had to choose I'd choose Norman. Hands down no questions asked. Norman.
"Norman," I sighed. He looked at me sturnly. I sighed.
"I'm already having to choose," I said lowly. Norman looked at me.
"What if I changed my mind?" He asked. I looked at him confused.
"Your saying, in a sinario where you wanted to be with me?" I asked, he looked puzzled, but nodded. I wanted to tell him, I did but I knew I was trying past that, slowly, and I wanted to stay moving farward. "You know" I said. He looked at me more intently.
"Say it," he said lowly. I looked at him shocked. Norman suddenly growled and pulled out his phone. I was so relived. I started my breakfast as Noman talked, to someone using short words. Yes, no, no, no, why? Things like that. I wasn't listing, but I was. Finnaly Norman said good bye and I pretended to be busy spacing out. He shook my arm and I smiled at him.
"Everything ok?" I asked smling. He nodded.
"Mingus," Norman said, kinda rolling his eyes. I smiled.
"How is he?" I asked playing dumb. Norman kinda smiled.
"How was he the last time you talked to him?" Norman asked, with a chuckle. I smiled.
"After we came home from Aruba?" I asked innocently. He smiled.
"Sure," he agreed with a smile. I smiled back. We finished out food and headed out. Norman held my hand from the diner to the Jeep, and in the Jeep all the way to Atlanta. It was fun, we laughed and joked. It was like the perfect time. Finnaly we pulled in to a mall. I looked over at Norman.
"The mall?" I asked. Norman smiled at me.
"You said you'd let me watch you try on clothes," he said with a smile. I shook my head.
"I said some day I might, bring you shopping with me," I said kinda laughing. He smiled more.
"Well today, is your lucky day, and mine," he said pulling me in to kiss my cheek. I blushed. He was so amazing sometimes. We got out of the Jeep and sayrted walking, Norman was quick to find my hand. I smiled, up at him. It was times like this I could almost see what it would be like to be dating. Norman smiled down at me we made it inside and Norman pulled me close.
"Where first?" He asked. I smile, as people looked at us, odviously recognizing him.
"Doesn't matter," I said blushing. Norman didn't seemed to mind or notice, the people looking at us.
"Victoria Secret it is," he said with an evil smile. I looked up at him.
"Or not," I laughed. He frownd.
"Bet there's some really nice things in there," he said hopefully. I giggled.
"Or we could look in here," I offered turning in to one small store. He laughed as we went in. Right off, I found a lot of things I was in love with. Norman encouraged me to grab all I wanted. I looked at him shaking my head, but decied to humor him. I tried on the clothes, and Norman said he liked all of them, I smiled and tried to put some of them back, but Norman took them away from me and brought them up to the counter. I fallowed him, the whole time I was trying to get the clothes back. Norman ofcourse refused to let me as he stuck them on the counter and told the cashier he would take them all. I made a face behind him, as he blocked me from the counter.
"Give 'em back!" I tried to fight him for the clothes Norman laughed turning around to face me.
"I said no fighting me, I was spoiling you today and that was finnal," he said kissing my head. I sighed, I couldn't fight with him, I was pretty sure he had already give her his credit card.
"You don't exspect me to just agree with this all day? Do you?" I asked. Norman smiled.
"No, I expect the fight, and because your so damn adorable I'm going to let you put up just a little bit of one," he said handing me my bag and thanking the cashier. I grummbled. Norman grabbed my hand and off we went. To the next store, for about three stores after the first one he bought me things. Every time I tried to stop him. Then we finnaly made it to Victoria Secret, he looked at me with a smile.
"No," I told him he chuckled and pulled me in. I grummbled.
"You buy whatever you want," he told me. I rolled my eye's.
"Why are you trying to buying me lingerie?" I asked. Norman smiled, bigger.
"Hoping to see you in it," he said holding up a pair of thongs. I shook my head.
"Probably not, and no," I said pointing to the thongs. He sighed and put them down, grabbing something else. I shook my head. Finnaly we reached the entiment section. I bushed at him. "We probably shouldn't be in this section," I sighed. Norman pulled me close fromantic behind.
"Or you could buy on of these and let me take it off you," he said lowly . Holding me agains his chest, wispiering in my ear .
"Norman!" I growled, he knew exactly how to turn me on, every time. He kissed my head.
"So purple?" He asked looking threw the other outfits laying on the table.
"Did I miss something?" I asked he looked at me.
"No, why do you mean?" He asked looking at me with a smile.
"I mean, did I enter a relationship I don't know about?" I asked eyebrows raised. He sighed.
"Ok, can we call it art and I'll take pictures of you in it?" He said with a smile.
"I really don't think that's every going to happen," I said walking away. Norman was quick to fallow me.
"Fine, are you going to get anything here?" He asked. I shook my head.
"No, this store was only to entertain you," I smiled, he pulled me close again.
"I know how you can entertain me," Norman said holding me close. I giggled. When I came accrost Spencers. Norman smiled st me as I rolled my eye's.
"They have clothes here," I said walking in. He smiled.
"Yeah there is," he laughed. I rolled my eyes again.
"No I mean real clothes," we walked in and I immediately saw The Walking Dead stuff. I wanted to go look threw it but I looked to see Norman. He smlied at me, it's like he could read my mind.
"I think your boyfriends over there," he joked pointing at a Daryl shirt. I laughed.
"He is a good looking man," I said walking over to it and looking at it. He rubbed his chin.
"Love to think about you wearing that," he said he said with a smile. I made a face.
"What's so hot about that?" I asked. He smiled more, leaning in to me.
"That's all you'd be wearing," he sad lowly and smiling. I rolled my eyes at him.
"I don't need this," I said putting the shirt back. Norman was quick to grab it back up though.
"Needing and wanting are two different things, and how else is my face supose to get near your boobs?" He asked.with a chuckel. I looked at him.
"What?" I asked again. He laughed.
"What, I like boobs!" He said shrugging. I sighed. A sales lady stopped to ask us if we needed help. I was quick to walk away while I left Norman to talk to her. It was my way of getting back at him for not letting me look at anything with out picking it up and buying it. I looked at a couple more Walking Dead things before Norman found me in the back by the entiment section. He smiled, walking over to me.
"You like this section don't you?" He asked. I laughed.
"You wish," I said pulling a shirt off the shelf and looking at it.
"I like it, edgy and sexy. Get it," He said comming beside me. "And pair it with this," he said grabbing a mini skirt off the wall and showing me. I laughed.
"What the hell am I going to do with that?" I asked laughing. "I'm pretty sure if I bent over you'd see everything!" I said. Norman smiled at me.
"That was the point, get you in my room and bend your ass over," he laughed. I rolled my eye's
"You have some very interesting dreams," I said. Norman smiled.
"A man can dream of a beautiful girl like you, naked in his bed," he said, putting the skirt back. I kinda sighed and huffed at the same time. If he wanted that all he had to do was tell me. Tell me he was ready for a relationship and to be with me. I knew that would never happen though, so I went about looking at the rest of the stuff in the store.
After Spencers we went to a couple more stores ans I was more then exhusted when Norman said we could go. We walked back to the Jeep, each holding an arm full of bags and Norman put them in the back. I got in and sighed. He got in and laughed at me. I made a face.
"I don't think I have ever shopped that much, I owe you my life," I said laying back in the seat dramatic. Norman laughed at me.
"You don't owe me anything," he said kissing the side of my head. I smiled at him.
"Where to now?" I asked. Norman had started pulling out of the parking lot.
"Food," he said. I smiled.
"Sounds awesome!" I smiled. Norman had found my hand again and we were having such a great time. I was falling for him more and more, the thought of letting him go was killing me. I wanted to be with him, but he knew that and he didn't feel the same. I sighed, Norman threw me a sideways look as we pulled in to the parking lot of a restaurant.
"What is it?" He asked lowly. I looked down.
"Need a ciggarette," I lied. He dug out his pack, and lit one for me handing it to me.
"I noticed you don't smoke as much anymore," he said smoking his own ciggarette. I nodded.
"When Travis and I were together the first time, he asked me if I ever thought about quitting. I told him I had, just never did," I said. Norman made a noise and I looked up at him.
"You quitting for you or him?" He asked. I sighed I knew he wanted me to see something wrong with Travis, I didn't know why, but I figured the first part out.
"Both," I said. "I thought about a vaporizer ciggarette, but they are expensive," I said. Norman nodded.
"Why do you like him so much?" He asked. I looked at him a long moment. How do you tell the man you have feelings for, why you like another man? I sighed.
"He's sweet and nice, never pushy, always listens," I shugged he wanted to be with me, but I couldn't tell Norman that.
"He wants a relationship with you," Norman pointed out what I didn't want to say. I nodded.
"Yeah," I said lowly. He scoffed.
"He's taking advantage of you. He knows your a sweet amazing woman, who wants to be loved and he's using that," Norman said annoyed. I couldn't help it when Norman talked down about Travis it bugged me.
"Why do you hate him so much?!" I finnaly asked, well demaded. Norman looked at me. Growled and got out of the Jeep. I fallowed him. "Norman?" I asked. He passed back and forth.
"Just forget it," he finnaly said. I sighed, I didn't want to forget it, I wanted an answer. I also knew this restrant was not a place to make scene.
We went in and we're seared, Norman ordered a beer and I odered a water. The waiters left us some menus and we looked them over. It was a while and Norman didn't look at me or talk to me. I kept looking over the menu untill the waitress came back. We ordered our food and she was gone again. I sipped at my water as Norman looked at me, finnaly I asked him.
"What?" I asked, kinda annoyed with him.
"We can't hang out like this anymore if you decide to go out with him," Norman said. I made a face.
"We can still hang out," I said. Is that what he was worried about. Norman shook his head.
"No, not like we do," he said. I looked at him.
"You just have to behave," I said. He looked at me funny, but didn't say anything. Our food came and we had started eating when my phone went off. I looked at it wondering who it was. I was, I was suprised to see Mingus's name.
"Hello?" I asked answering it. Wondering why he was calling me.
"What is going on?" He asked. I wasn't sure what he was talking about.
"With?" I asked.
"My dad's all moody lately and says your going away, are you moving?" He asked. I looked at Norman and made a face, and picked up his phone.
"I'm kinda..." I was cut off.
"Yeah, i know you and dad are spending the day together he told me, it's before you leave. I just, i know your not going to wait around forever for him, but still your moving?" Mingus asked. I looked up at Norman who nodded tward the phone.
"Mingus?" He asked. I made a face, how did he know?
"I'm not moving," I said, nodding at Norman to finnaly tell him, yes I was talking to Mingus.
"Then where are you goin and what's got my dad so pissed?" He asked. I looked up at Norman.
"I'm not going anywhere, and why don't you ask him?" I said. Mingus made a noise.
"He's really piss lately, and don't wanna talk about it. Did you find someone?" Mingus asked. I was still looking at Norman who was making a face asking me what was going on. Was Norman mad at me for getting a boyfriend, well I mean I kinda figured he was, but why?
"I can't give you any answers I don't have any, " I finnaly said. Migus growled. He really did act like his dad.
"Text me," he said hanging up. I looked at the phone funny then set it down.
"What's he want?" Norman asked. I looked at him.
"Wanted to know if I was moving, and whas going on," I said. Norman grummbled and picked up his phone. "Just let him be," I said. Norman looked at me.
"He's been told not to get in to it," Norman said setting down his phone. I smiled.
"He's just trying to help," I said, thinking how sweet Mingus was. Norman scoffed.
"You really sound like his mother somedays," he said. I giggled.
"He's sweet," I said still smiling. Norman rolled his eyes.
"Sometimes he can be a pain in the ass," Norman said. I laughed.
"That's because he's your son," I said. Norman smiled.
"You want him for a week? I swear you won't find him so cute," he laughed. I smiled.
"Your luck he'd be a perfect angel for me," I laughed. Norman nodded.
"Probably," he said. I giggled. We finished our food and we headed out. Getting in the Jeep Noeman offered me a ciggarette and he took one himself. We pulled out of the parking lot and started going again.
"Where to now?" I asked. He smiled at me holding my hand. It did kill me to know we wouldn't be able to hold hands anymore, once I told Travis I was ready to go back out with him.
"Wanted to check out a few places around here, stuff for the bikes, and other things," Norman's said, I smiled.
"Sounds good," I agreed, happy the focus was off me for a while. We drove along for a while and ended up at a little out of the way bike shop. I smiled as we got out of the Jeep and head inside.
"You find anything you want just grab it," Norman said. I shook my head.
"Haven't you spent enough money on me?" I asked. He chuckled.
"Never," he said. I smiled if anything Noman was always one of the sweetest men in the world. We went in and were greater by some very nice people. I always had this preconceived idea about bikers being scary and mean. Norman of course wasn't, but then again Norman wasn't like other people anyways.
They talked bikes, and I was about to start wondering around, feeling uncomfortable. Norman had tough me a little about bikes, but I wasn't like him I didn't know a lot. When he pulled close to him and started bragging hoe he tough me to ride, and how I was learning to fix them. I was more embarrassed as I smiled like an idiot.
Finnaly they started showing Norman some of the things he was looking for. I aparently wasn't allowed to leave his side either, with the grip he had on my hand. So I listend to what they had to say. Not that I understood any of it. Finnaly they were done talking and we were left on out own. Norman smiled at me finding a sigh that said Princess parking. I laughed shaking my head at him.
"I say we put it where your bikes parked," he said holding it as we moved threw the store. I shook my head.
"Put that back, I don't need a sigh," I laughed. Then it hit me, if I started dating Travis, would I be allowed to still keep the bike? Would Norman still let me park it at his house? I didn't want to ask, becuase truthfully I didn't want to think about it.
"No, my money, I'm getting it, ooh! Look a sequence crown to put on your helmet," Norman said finding a pink one. I made a face, as he went threw the colors and found a purple one. I sighed.
"I thought we were here for you? " I asked. He smiled.
"We came to look," he said picking up something else. I smiled. By the end of that store I again had a bag of stuff, I didn't feel as bad, Norman bought himself a bag too and we headed out.
"And now?" I asked. Norman smiled.
"One more stop," he said. I made a face at him.
"Then what?" I asked. He smiled.
"Don't worry," he said. I sighed. I was worried though. Worried about how my dating Travis would affect my friendship with Norman, how I still wanted to be with Norman. I felt him shake my arm. "You ok baby girl?" He asked.
"I'm fine, I said getting a ciggarette out and lighting it. "Things are going to change, arn't they?" I finnaly asked. Norman sighed puffing his own ciggarette.
"I don't want them too," he said lowly. I wanted to cry. I did, but just with him, to be with him. I sighed.
"I don't either, but." I was cut off.
"You deserve to be happy," Norman said. I looked at him. I was happy, when I was with him. I decided I wasn't going to push it any further. I assumed that was Norman's blessing.
"Thank you," I said. He kissed my hand. We pulled up to another store and I looked at him funny.
"Don't ask questions," he smiled. I giggled at him funny.
"Alright," I finnaly agreed. We parked the Jeep and went in. It was deffenatly a high end store. I looked at him. He smiled holding my hand. A sales lady approached us.
"Hello Norman!" She smiled. He smiled and they hugged and he smiled at me.
"This is Stephanie," he said to the sales woman. She smiled at me. I smiled shyly.
"We will take good care of her per your requests," she said Norman smiled at her and thanked her. They hugged again and I looked at him like they had both lost their minds. Norman smiled at me and hugged me.
"I'll be back in a little while, have fun," he said kissing my head. I watched him leaving.
"Wait Norman!" I yelled after him. He waved goodbye and walked out the door. I turned to the lady and looked at her.
"Come on," she said leading me in to the store.
"Umm What exactly did he tell you to do?" I asked she smiled.
"Mr. Reedus told us that you were a very special person to him, and you needed the nicest dress possible for the evening," she explained. I made a face.
"A dress?" I asked. She nodded.
"Do you have a preference? Long, short, straps, no straps, whatever you want. Mr.Reedus said whatever you wanted," she said as we walked threw the store looking at all the dresses. I looked around this was all high end fashon, just a dress would cost a fourtune! I pulled out my cell phone and texted Noman.
'You are absolutely insane! What do I need a dress this expensive for?' I texted. I put my phone back in my pocket and sighed.
"Alright," I sighed. "I guess, short black dreses," I huffed. I had to play along I had no chose, he left me here. The sales lady smiled as she showed me to a fitting room and I went in.
She brought in a bunch of dresses, from evening dressed long and short. To really skimpy ones that I wouldn't wear outside the bedroom. I tried each one of them on and just want sure what Norman had planned so how could I make a decision. I sighed. The lady looked at me a long moment.
"Everything ok?" She asked. I sighed.
"He wants to suprised me, I understand that, but if he'd just tell me what we were doing I'd be able to make a decision," I explained. The lady smiled.
"My husband is the same way. Sweet and romantic to a fault," she smiled. I nodded. "As for what Mr.Reedus told me, it would be a night filled with romance, a nice dinner and maybe a hotel?" She smiled. I looked at her.
"He said all that?" I asked, wondering if maybe Noeman was changing his mind on me. She sighed.
"He said a very nice dinner with a special woman. I assumed your his girlfriend," she said. I sighed. Nope just being Norman.
"Ooh," I sighed. "No we are just friends," I told her. She frownd.
"Let me see if I can find something else for you," she said as she left again. I sighed. She returned a few moments later with another arm full of dresses. I looked threw them and a black, strapless, high low, cocktail drees, that was a sheer fabric and had little crystals under the bust cought my attention. It wasn't overly sexy, but cute. I smiled as I saw it. The sales woman smiled too, as I put it on and looked at myself.
"Did you find the one?" She asked. I smiled, I liked the way I looked and the way I felt.
"Yes," I said. She smiled. I'm so glad, now just find you some shoes and you will be all set," she said. I turned. Shoes I hadn't thought about shoes. I nodded slowly. A few minutes later I had a nice pair of heels and my other clothes were being bagged up. I wasn't sure what I was supose to do, if I was supose to text Norman or not but as the lady handed me my clothes I heard him.
"Excuse me I'm looking for Jennifer," he said. I turned and smlied at him. He smiled happy, telling the other sales lady never mind as he walked over to me.
"You are so beautiful!" He exclaimed as he twirled me around and pulled me close. I giggled and blushed at his show of affection.
"Thank you," I said lowly. Taking in his balck suit and tie. I smiled
"You look very handsome," I smiled. Feeling like the luckiest girl in the world. He smiled.
"Are we ready?" He asked. I nodded. He quickly thanked the sales lady and we were out the door. "So it's not quite how I planned it, becuase you said no hotel, but I'm hoping this night can still go pretty well," he said with a smile. I looked at him feeling bad. He had went threw all this trouble and I was ruining it.
"I'm sorry," I said lowly. He kissed my hand.
"No problem, believe me the best part of this is spending I with you," he said. I smiled. We made it to the restrant and up to the door. A valet took the Jeep and we headed inside. I was so amazed by how beautiful and expensive the restrant was. Norman smiled holding my hand. He gave the lady his name and we were seated. I looked around crystal chandeliers hunging from the ceiling and a solft music played by a lovely sting band. I looked at Norman feeling like a princess.
"Your amazing!" I exclaimed. This was way nicer then the restrant Travis had taken me to. Norman smiled.
"Anything for you," he said. I smled. A waiter came with a bottle of wine, and gave us some menus. Then he was gone. I looked at the menu and giggled.
"I have no idea what any of this stuff is," I laughed. He smiled at me.
"Trust me?" He asked. I smiled. He took my menu. I smiled more.
"I've got to say Reedus, you have out done yourself," I said. He smiled more.
"It's nothing," he said. I smiled and shook my head. It was more then nothing, I didn't know what he was doing, but it wasn't nothing.
"Your so sweet," I said. He smiled. The waiter came back and we ordered dinner, well Noman ordered for us. I felt like this was the most amazing date ever, only I knew it wasn't. We talked threw the first course and the meal and finnaly desert. By the end if dinner I was deffenatly full and ready to head home. Norman payed for the meal and we went out and got his Jeep. And started back to his house. The ride home was quiet, I was in a food coma, as Norman held my hand my hand, I smiled.
"I had the most amazing time today," I finnaly said. He.smiled over to me.
"It's not late, it doesn't have to end yet," he said. I smiled. I knew Travis wouldn't wake me up early, so if I spent an other couple hours with Noman it wouldn't matter. I nodded.
"Alright, we can go hang out at your house," I smiled. He kissed my hand. I smiled." I'm changing though, when we get there," I said. Norman chucled.
"Alright, me too," he agreed. The rest of the ride was filled with talking and laughing, I was almost in tears when we pulled in to the drive way.
"Sometimes your too much," I said getting out of the car. Norman smiled as he got out and came beside me. Kissing my head. We went inside and EITD greeted us. Norman smiled at him.
"Hey fatso!" He said happily. I smiled.
"Hey kitty," I said leaning down and petting him EITD was very happy to see me purring and rubbing up against me. I giggled as I went to the kitchen.
"You can change first then I will. You can use my room, I promise I won't try to peep on you," Norman said pulling me close to him and kissing my head. I smiled at him. "Hold on though," he said taking out his phone. I looked at him smiling.
"I want a picture of this night, " he said pulling me so my back was to his chest and he held me with one hand while he took the picture. I turned and kissed his cheek and he snapped another one. I looked at him. "I've always wanted a picture with you doing that," he smiled. I giggled.
"Why?" I asked. He smiled more. "Just always have," he said I smiled up at him I never wanted this night to end as I slowly walked to Norman's room. I went in to the bathroom and changed quickly in to the clothes I had come in. Then checked my make up and hair, it still looked fine, so I headed back out to Noman. He was flipping threw channels tie undone, shirt unbuttoned. He looked very sexy. I looked at him untill he cought me. He smiled walking tward me.
"You yell at me, but your just as bad," he said. Kissing my lips quickly and head down the hall. I sighed setting on the couch. I would never get another kiss like that again. I leaned back, I didn't want to have a boyfriend, if it ment losing Norman. I didn't think this threw very well. I didn't want to lose him, even though he was pure poison to me, I wanted to be with him. I was still leaning back on the couch arm over my face when I heard him laugh.
"Tired?" He asked. I smiled up at him. He was just in jeans and a tshirt, but he was so sexy.
"No, I'm fine, just thinking," I said it was the truth too. He sat beside me and pulled me in to his arms.
"Me too," he argreed. I looked up at him. What had he been thinking about? " I know your just going to think I'm being an asshole, but I'm really just thinking about your best interests, and I don't think you belong with him," Norman said. I made a face and kissed his cheek.
"Your sweet and I appreciate your consern, but he's really a great guy, maybe if you got to know him," I said hopeful. Norman made a face of discus. I smiled.
"I still think your making a mistake," he said turning the channel. I sighed. "Besides you get a boyfriend we can't spend time like this together," he said. I sighed.
"The relationship we have isn't healthy, " I said with a sigh. Norman looked at me.
"So you want to stop?" He asked. Looking down at me. I sighed.
"No," I said lowly. I wanted the opposite I wanted more.
"Ok," he said. I watched him he looked like he wanted to say more, but he didnt, insted he looked at the tv. "Anything special you wanna watch?" He asked. I cuddled close to him.
"Naw, my show doesn't come back on till October," I reminded him. He chuckled.
"It's deffenatly going to be good!" He said. I smiled up at him.
"NO TELLING!" I yelled. He smiled.
"I'm not, I'm not, just can't wait to see you recations," he said. I tilted my head.
"How are you going to do that? Your going to be in New York," I said. I wasn't sure where I was going to be, California maybe. He looked down at me.
"No your going to be in New York," he said. I smiled at him.
"Right I'll just fly in for the weekend and watch The Walking Dead with you," I laughed. He smiled. Norman didn't say another word as he found a movie. I snuggled closer to him and he held me tighter. In the house, it was cool becuase of his central air, I got cold and I ended up falling asleep as usual warm in his arm's.
I woke up in the glow of the tv. I didn't want to move, I loved being in Noman's arms. I also knew if I moved, he would know I was awake. I didn't want that, becuase then I would have to go home. I knew I'd never have to, but I always did. I felt Norman kiss my head.
"You awake?" Norman asked. I sighed. Looking up at him smiling.
"How did you know?" I asked. Norman smiled down at me.
"I know you," he said with a smile. I smiled too. I sighed.
"So I should be going home. I said. Norman frowned.
"Stay," he said, I smiled, shaking my head and getting up.
"Norman," I said lowly. He got up and fallowed me.
"Steph," he said lowly. I looked at him and sighed. I didn't know what he was trying, but I couldn't let him talk me in to anything. I was ready to be with Travis, Norman didn't want to be with me. While lost in my thoughts I was pulled in to Norman's arms I looked up at him.
"Norman?" I asked. He looked down at me.
"Stay," he breathed. I looked up at him, he leaned in and kissed my lips. It was hard it was passionate, and it left me breathless. As Norman's hands were everywhere, up and down my body. I moaned lowly. We parted and I looked up at him.
"Stay," he begged. I looked up at him as I felt his hands slide over my body again.
"Norman, I can't," I said, but loving his hands on me. I wimmpered.
"Stay," he repeated, kissing at my neck, I moaned lowly, again.
"If I stay, Norman, does that mean." I couldn't think with Norman nipping at my neck. I moaned again. He separated himself from my neck.
"Yes, just stay. Stay and be mine," he growled. Pushing up my shirt. I loved his hands on my bear skin.
"Norman say it or I can't, " I said trying to think logically," he growled at me.
"Stay. Stay forever. I'm not asking, I'm begging, be mine, my best friend, my girlfriend, what the fuck ever!" He growled pulling me down to the bedroom. His hands all over my body, with lips not far behind.
"Oh god!" I moaned, loving the feeling of Norman wanting me. We were quickly in the bedroom, and Norman kicked the door shut. Then we were on the bed. I giggled, as Norman facial hair tickled at my stomach as he kissed it. "Norman!" I giggled. He looked up at me.
"Your going to look so good naked and begging for me," he smiled. I looked down at him feeling self couscous.
"Umm," I blushed. Norman smiled.
"I promise your beautiful," he said pushing my shirt up. I breathed sharply. Norman smiled, as he sat me up. I was suddenly shirtless and just in my bra. Norman smiled, kicking his lips. "So beautiful," he said again. As he attacked my brests with kisses. I couldn't help but enjoy myself, I mean I was supose to be, but it was amazing. Norman had my bra undone and sliding it down my arms as his lips found my brests again. My head fell backward as I couldn't help but moan out at how amazing his mouth felt on my brests.
"Norman," I moaned. He smiled up at me. I smiled down at him. As I reached for his shirt, I wanted to feel his bear skin against mine. Norman quickly moved up to strip himself of his shirt. Then he was kissing my lips as we tumbled over. Hands exploring every inch of eachother. Suddenly I was pulled on to him, as he layed down I looked down at him, smiling.
"You are just as beautiful as I imagined," he said. As he unbuttoned my jeans. I smiled and bushed.
"Norman," I breathed. His hands slid up my body untill they found my brests and gently played with the nipples. I moaned lowly, Norman smiled.
"Like that?" He asked. I smiled as my hips moved against his. He growled. Quickly switching our positions. Sliding my pants down at the same time. I bushed, being completely naked now. Norman smiled.
"No panties?" He asked as he licked his lips and started kissing down my body. I moaned out trying to catch hold of him. He smiled up at me as he kissed lower and lower.
"Norman?" I asked as he came dangerously low to my southern area," he smiled up at me, pulling my legs apart and moving between them. "Norman?!" I was sure now I knew what was about to happen. He smiled as he kissed my thigh for the last time and burried his head in to my center. I gripped the sheets and moaned. It felt amazing. I hadn't had this sort of treatment in a long time. Between Norman's mouth and his fingures my head was spinning as I cried out an orgasum. Norman finished his assult on my center and moved up to my lips. Kissing me hard untill we were brethless.
"God your so beautiful and you tast just as good," he said Kssing at me again. I smiled, still breathing heavy. I felt embarrassed now, remebering I was naked. Norman smiled bigger pulling me close. "Your alright baby girl," he encouraged me. I smiled. He pulled me closer and we kissed again. My hands slid to his belt and started trying to remove it. Norman helped me, kicking his pants and boxers off. He pulled me back in to his arms and I could feel every inch of him against me.
"Norman," I breathed. He smiled.
"What is it baby?" He asked kissing at my neck. I smiled, getting braver, I pushed him down and strattling his waist. Norman smiled up at me raising his eyesbrows. I kissed at his lips, then down his body. Norman growled the lower I kissed on his body. I smiled up at him. This was fun, I found his very large member, gently taking it in my mouth. Norman growled as his hands tangled in my hair and gently pulled my head up, then pushing it down. It wasn't too long before we had got a rytham down and Norman was growing and pulling me off of him.
"Baby girl! I want you," he said I smiled. I smiled as he pulled me into his arms and layed me down. Norman got into the bedside table and finding a condom. Once he was finished he came back to me pulling me into his arms and lining up with me. He smiled down at me and kissed me passionatly, pushing in to me. I maoned, he filled me to the limit and it felt amazing. We quickly got a rytham and hands and lips were everywhere. Norman was brutal in his assult on me, and I was crying out as I felt myself close around him. He growled lowly and he pulled me closer and kissed my lips. We layed tangled together panting. Norman moved off of me and I looked up at him. He smiled as he moved to the other side of the bed then smiled over to me opening his arms. I smiled back and moved in to them.
"You can't leave me now," he said lowly. I giggled.
"You can't leave me," I smiled. He looked down at me handing me a ciggarette.
"I wasn't the one trying to leave," he reminded me. I looked at him.
"You didn't want me," I said lowly. Norman sighed.
"I did, I do. I always have, but baby girl, my relationships end bady. I didn't want that to happen with us. I never want to lose you, so I figured if we didn't date I couldn't lose you. Then you wanted to leave me, I couldn't let you do that. I'll risk it, just to keep you," Norman explained. I felt awful
"I'm sorry," I said kissing his cheek. Norman smiled.
"Don't be, I needed to have some competition. Something to make me realize that I needed to make you mine or someone else would," he said pulling me close.
"Aww baby," I said. We put out our ciggarette's and Norman pulled me closer to him.
"Mine forever," Norman said kissing my lips. I smiled.
"Only if you're mine foreve," I said. Norman kissed my head. I giggled.
"Yes," he said. We cuddled close and I smiled. It was perfect I finnaly had my price charming and my happy ending.
