Tough Life, Tough Pride

Morning After

We finished our drinks and I was getting to that point of drunkenness again. He made my drink especially hard. He made me another drink and asked, "So again, what is it you do?" I looked down at my drink feeling good and then at my surroundings. "I'm a nurse," I said. Johnny's eyes lit up and he said, "Oh really? So you take care of people that need help?" I looked at him squarely in the eyes and said, "I do more than that Mr. Depp, I save lives."

He looked at me and got up from the couch to come and sit next to me. He put his arm on the shoulder of the couch and said, "Maybe you could save me." I looked at him strangely and his eyes were just stuck on mine. I wanted to say "Uh, stop staring at me." But I didn't. Something told me this guy was definitely not someone to be mean to. So I just took in the moment. After a few seconds I said, "You appear fine to me." He leaned in and instantly I said, "hey, hey, what are you doing hun?" He was quick to pull away and said, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.."

I felt bad but I wasn't easy and wasn't going to let anyone think they could simply party with me for a bit and just get what they want from me, no matter who it was. "Look, Johnny, you're a great guy from what I've seen so far and I don't want to ruin any potential friendship or whatever else could come from this. We JUST met and I appreciate you getting this great room for me. But let's just take our time here," I said this while looking at the floor to keep myself from getting pulled in mentally. He noticed this and said, "why don't you look at me when you talk?" I looked at him and said sternly, "you know why."

He grinned and asked, "care for another drink?". I smiled and said, "sure." He got up and went and made us a couple of drinks. The room began spinning in my mind. I looked towards where Johnny was and then the door. Then I looked at of the tvs in the room and then towards the bed. My mind was obviously on overdrive. Johnny looked at me from the bar and said, "Are you sure you're okay, love." I looked over at him and said, "...uh yeah...I'm...damn that bed was comfortable." He giggled to himself and then came over to sit with me again.

I could feel it coming after my first sip of this new drink. Oh my god I couldn't stop myself, I had to say it, "Why are you so damn fine John?" His eyes widened and then my eyes widened with him and I couldn't believe I said that. But I couldn't stop myself the more I drank. "Like seriously, you could be out getting laid with some blonde twiggy looking thing and you're with average ol' me. And you're all famous and fine and famous and good looking. Like you got this room and are all 'oh save me!' and I'm like being so weird when in reality I would love to just fuck you but I can't because then you'll be like 'oh she's easy' and I'll be saying 'no I'm not, I was drunk'..." I continued. He finally stopped me and said, "Victoria, Victoria, stop." He pulled my drink out of my hand and then brought my hands to his and said, "Relax. We don't have to do anything if you don't want to." He leaned in and kissed my forehead, then came to my cheek to kiss it, then he did it, he kissed my lips. His kiss was soft and gentle. No tongue. Suddenly, I started shutting my eyes and could feel myself begin to drift. "Victoria, are you sleepy?" I opened my eyes a bit and just nodded. I then felt my body being dragged to the bed while trying to hold myself up. Johnny put me in a sitting position on the bed and said, "okay baby, time to go to bed. I'll be right here next to you, ok?" I was still floating in my head but knew I was on a bed. At this point, I can't hear much. I just began taking off my boots, my pants, my shirt, and bra. Johnny stared the entire time and didn't say much. Like I said, I couldn't hear it even if he did. I pull back the covers, get into the bed, and cover myself. Johnny then pulled pulled off his shoes, his shirt, and pants. He slowly climbed into bed next to me on his side and just held his head up with his hand while observing me. I had fallen asleep fast, completely oblivious to who was next to me or what had happened.

It was 9:55am and I had the urgency to go to the bathroom. The room was dark and I couldn't find the bathroom quick enough. After feeling around the walls, I finally found it. When finished, I came out to wash my hands and face.

"Good morning," said Johnny. Till this point, I thought I was alone. The room was dark, only the bathroom light was dimly lit. I frowned and looked towards the bed. I couldn't believe who was staring back at me. "Hi...Johnny" I lightly said. I instantly covered my boobs with one arm and he said, "Don't be shy baby." I was beginning to remember some of the events from last night.

Thinking to myself, I said, "oh shit, I DID meet Johnny Depp last night! He drove me to my hotel, he paid, and we partied." I looked at Johnny and he said, "are you okay?" And I said, "yeah, I just forgot for minute what happened last night." He got up from the bed and came near me saying, "hey, don't worry, nothing happened." He kissed my temple and hugged me.

Eventually, I showered, got dressed and so did Johnny. I was in the tv room outside the bedroom and said, "so what happens now?" Johnny was coming into the room and said, "I don't know. Depends how you want it to be?" "What do you mean?" I asked. "Well I had a good time last night. I'd like to see you again, if that's okay?" he said. I reminded him I lived in Ventura County and he said, "I know you do. But it's Saturday and unless you're working, you should stick around for a bit."

I thought about it. I didn't really have to be home and didn't have any other plans. But I didn't have any other clothes than what I had on. "I'd love to stick around and hang out but these are the only clothes I have with me, other than some scrubs in my trunk. But I can go home and maybe come back later?" I asked. Johnny came closer to me and said, "I can take you shopping for some clothes if you want." I looked at him surprised but declined, "Nah, it's okay, I need to feed my kitty anyways."

He asked, "what time were you thinking of coming back?" I looked at him and said, "ugh, I don't know. It's a hell of a drive to go back and forth immediately." He brought his hand to my chin and looked at me saying, "I don't want to put you through all that driving. How about I come and pick you up and we see your side of town then come back to your house or if you want, we can come back here?" I looked down and thought it would be so convenient if he did so. My house was clean and I kinda hated the touristy stuff down here in Hollywood. I looked up at him and said, "you can come by my house and then we'll play it by ear..." He smiled and kissed me on the cheek saying, "perfect, it's a date." I just smiled while we left the room and went our separate ways.
