Off The Record

Part 8: Stars Shine Bright for You

The night grew colder, almost instantly. Alex looked at me as I shivered a little.

"Are you cold?" He asked.

"A little, but I'll be alright."

"Nonsense." Alex said while taking of his leather jacket and putting it over my shoulders.

"Now you're going to be cold." I said. It was warm and it smells like him.

"I'll be alright." He responded.

I walked closer to him and grabbed his hand. I don't know what made me do it, maybe all the drinks. All I know is it felt right. Anytime I'm with him it just feels like the world is at peace.

I looked at him "The stars are so bright tonight." I said while looking up at the star covered sky.

"They're beautiful." Alex said. My apartment was only two blocks away. I wish this walk would last forever. Alex was so real. The majority of my life he was just a British rock star. Now I'm holding his hand and wearing his jacket. How did this happen?

"I'm really glad you came out with me tonight, thanks again for coming." I said.

Alex looked at me and smiled. "I'm very delighted that you invited me. We were just about to reach my apartment.

"Oh and before we get to my apartment I should tell you I have a cat and she's the queen of the place." I said with a little laugh.

"Wow and you have a cat you really must be Audrey." Alex said smiling and letting out a little laugh.

"I can only truly wish I was her darling." I said smiling at him.

Alex smiled at me, "I'm sure you're better."

I smiled and pulled out my key from my pocket. "Alright lets go in before we freeze to death out here."

I put my key in the keyhole led Alex in. It really did feel like Breakfast at Tiffany's. We started to walk up the steps and he tripped on a stair. We both burst out laughing like it was the funniest thing that could have ever happened.

"I don't like you laughing at my pain" Alex said.

"Oh darling, its alright. If you can't laugh in life what's the point in living?" I said while laughing a little.

We reached my door and I put my key and and turned the lock.

"Well welcome to my humble abode." I said while letting Alex in.

"It's very nice." He said.

I took his jacket off and gave it back to him "Thank you."

He took the jacket and hung I on the coat rack next to the door.
"Please leave all overcoats, canes, and top hats with the door man." I said smiling at him.
"From that moment you'll be out of placed and underdressed." Alex replied. Wow he even knew old Panic! songs.
"I must say I'm impressed." I said while laughing a little. I walked a little closer to him so we were face to face.
"I just wanted to say..." I leaned in a kissed him putting my hand on his cheek. His lips were warm and wet. He put his arms on my waist and pulled me even closer to him.
