It's Been A Long Time... [Desperate Measures Sequel]

Eight.

"It's not like I'm that hungry," AJ told me with a grin as we sat in my hotel room just the two of us. Becky had disappeared out for coffee with the girls and I was majorly bored and AJ was my only saviour. 

I groaned as I looked at him from my laying position on my bed, "I haven't had any thing to eat all day. All I am asking is that you just come along with me, you don't have to eat. You can watch me scoff my face and you can talk."

"You are such a lady," AJ laughed at me as I got off my bed and put my shoes on and slipped my arms into my jacket. "Just buy me a drink okay?"

"I thought the men were supposed to pay," I winked at him as he got to his feet and pulled his jacket on. "You are such a gent AJ."

He shook his head at me as we left the hotel room, I linked my arm through his and we made our way out of the hotel. Out side the hotel it was getting dark and there was a few people milling about. The most notable of the people who were outside was Randy Orton who was sitting on a bench and on the phone. He looked quite stressed and his voice was rising although words couldn't be made out from here. 

"Lets go then," I said to AJ as I kept close to him and we started our walk.

"Where was you earlier?" AJ asked me when I was mid spoon in mouth. On my spoon was the dessert I come to this place for, it was a mix of ice cream and cookie that was warm and gooey from the oven. 

I looked at him as I removed the spoon from my mouth, "When?"

AJ looked at me as I put the spoon into my mouth and melted into the warm ness of the good stuff that was now in my mouth. "So I popped to see you after breakfast."

"Did you?" I asked playing dumb. "Probably asleep." I lied to him as I smiled sweetly. 

The truth would hit him like a ton of bricks and maybe it was best I kept any details to myself and myself only. Me and Dean had spent a considerable amount of time in my room with the doors locked after he came to see me earlier. I had fallen for his, Dean ness. He didn't even need to speak when he came to see me and before I knew it I was giving into his desires. In short, I had been a fool and had sex with him. 

The moment when AJ turned up we looked at each other and let out a little suppressed giggle before keeping deadly silent. I had knew at that moment in time if I opened the door then he would want to come in and that would have opened up a giant can of worms. 

Dean had left my room about an hour after AJ left, we hadn't really spoke any words, any thing that meant anything. He said his goodbyes and disappeared before Becky returned. 

"Do you think you should be eating just that?" AJ asked me about my meal. 

I sighed and grabbed the menu and showed it to him, "Incase you hadn't noticed all they sell in here is this stuff."

"We could have gone any where," AJ told me with a smile. 

I laughed, "This was my choice to come out. You didn't even want to leave the hotel."

"Whatever Tasha," AJ took a sip of his drink before looking back at me. "Tonight is about you, tomorrow we do something for me."

"You have someone," I reminded him of his life partner who was at home with his child right now. "So I will not be doing any thing for you."

AJ kicked my leg under the table, "You have such a dirty mind. Look Tasha, I know it's been a long time for you but you know that I am not the one that's going to break that for you."

"Oh please," I scoffed. "If I was going to pick any one it would be someone who is half decent looking." 

I did love the way we could just talk and have banter and not be afraid of any repercussions if we didn't like what the other person says. We had an understanding, just not enough for me to be completely honest with him, at least not right now.

The next day I had managed to avoid people all day apart from Becky who shared my room. We had ordered in food all day and watched movies on the telly. "So you coming tonight?" Becky asked me as she started to do her make up. 

"Where?" I asked her with a confused look. 

She grinned, "Ahh I'm sorry. I thought it was an open invitation." She looked up from her mirror and at me, "So Nattie is having a girls night in. All the girls usually go."

"And the guys?" I asked her. "They won't just turn up?"

Becky let out a laugh, "Don't be daft love. The twins invite most of the guys over and they get incredibly drunk resulting in major hangovers in the morning."

"The twins? I thought Brie and Nikki would be going to Nattie's night?"

Becky laughed a hearty laugh, "You are my favourite." She continued with her make up, "Jimmy and Jey."

I shook my head whilst letting out a little laugh. I hadn't even thought about those two. 

"So tell me you'll come along," she winked at me as she started to put her coat and shoes on. 

I shook my head slowly, "No thank you. I don't want to intrude."

"I promise," she said her accent so deep, "It's cool if you come along."

"Becky," I smiled at her from my bed. "It's okay. I think AJ wants to go out tonight any way." I had been avoiding his texts for the past half an hour which meant he'd probably turn up soon to bug me in person. 

She threw her big coat on and pulled the hood up over her head, "Alright then. I'll see you in the morning." She told me before she left the room. I heard her talking at the door before AJ appeared from the corner in my vision. 

"I could have been naked." I scolded him as I pulled my blanket higher to my chin. 

AJ rolled his eyes at me, "Tasha my dear, I know you too well. Now put some decent clothes on," he grinned at me. "I'm taking you out."

I groaned loudly as I smiled at him, "I'm going to miss you." I whispered to my bed before giggling in AJ's direction. His eyes rolled at me before I headed into the bathroom with a change of clothes.

The restaurant was quiet and dark. It was more for people who were on a date, instead me and AJ had turned up wearing the most casual of clothing and laughing. Everyone around us was dressed to the nine's, every thing looked perfect. Too perfect. 

"This," I laughed as I looked at AJ over the top of my menu. "Isn't our scene is it?"

"I have no idea what you are talking about," he winked before he looked down at his menu that he had on the table in front of him. 

I returned my eyes to my own menu before looking down at my outfit. I was wearing a black dress with cut of sides with a green leather jacket over my shoulders. I had managed to wear a pair of sensible shoes but compared to this outfit the black knee high boots just made me look a bit cheap. 

AJ on the other hand was wearing a pair of dark blue jeans, a black tee shirt with a blazer type jacket over the top. I looked like a cheap tart he had paid to have dinner with him. 

The menu was a bit posh for me, I already knew what I was having though. The lasagna, a lovely dish that always seemed to fill me up. "What you having?" I asked him as I closed my menu and laid it in front of me. 

"Don't worry about me little Tasha." He smiled at me.
