Sing To Me...A Love Song (A Klayton Scott Story)

~5~

We didn't have to walk very far, for his place was a small house not two blocks from the club...I unlocked the door where I was face to face with an enormous dog! I jumped back worried about Ben, but Klayton told him to go out back, and the dog ran to the back door and out the dog door he went. Klayton turned on the lights and showed me in, and told me to make myself at home. I looked around the little house and told him it was a very cute little home, that it looked very cozy and welcome. I went over to the sofa but before I sat down, he grabbed all of his leather clothes and tossed them on the bed, and said with a cheezy grin that he wasn't the cleanest of bachelors.

I told him very quickly that it was fine because I usually kept my room a mess just as a sign of rebellion from my very rich and irritating parents. He was about to take a seat beside me when he stopped and asked me if I wanted anything to eat or drink. I told him I was fine, but I was kind of worried about Ben...I didn't want him to become a meal for his very gorgeous but large dog. Klayton gave me a smile and said that Godzilla was harmless and that he would keep him outside so Ben wouldn't be in any danger. I pulled Ben out of my sleeve and he jumped into Klayton's lap and did a few circles then curled up in a ball and tried to sleep. He looked down at him and said now he's seen it all. I gave him a little hug and told him that Ben liked him.

Klayton slid closer to me and said he really like him too...then he slowly moved in and gave me a tiny kiss on the cheek, and showed me to the bedroom, at first I thought he was going to stay in the room with me, but he handed Ben to me and said he would crash on the couch...I guess he noticed how uncomfortable I was being, so he didn't press the kiss any further. Even though he secretly wanted to very badly, he told me goodnight, then closed the door gently behind him and jumped on the couch as he called to Godzilla to come in and crash with him, now that Ben was safe and sound locked in the room with me. Then as he looked at the ceiling while rubbing on his dog's ear, he thought of me laying in his bed...without him. Then he snickered to himself as he told himself that he just met her today and he already wanted to jump my bones...then he looked down at Godzilla and told him he was no better than him...a downright dog...then he kissed him on his nose, and rolled over on his side and tried to go to sleep.

Me on the other hand, I was snuggled up in the warm blankets with Ben sleeping peacefully in my hair, only every now and then I would hear him make a slight squeak to get me to give him a few pets in my half sleepy state, and even though I was in a strange house with an even stranger guy, I was perfectly content and rather happy, because this strange guy was not only very sweet natured, I thought he was very handsome...in an exotically, rugged sort of way, but I had to like him, because if Ben liked him it was good enough for me...because Ben didn't just go up to anyone, he was a very good judge of character, and he just didn't go up to anyone.

When I woke up the next morning, I realized the bedroom door was wide open and the large dog was laying at the foot of my bed...I sat up instantly not seeing Ben anywhere...I started to panic, but when I saw Klayton coming in with a breakfast tray and Ben on his shoulder, I gave a sigh of relief. Klayton sat down and said as he handed me breakfast in his underwear, that he and Godzilla had a talk about Ben and that Godzilla gave him his word that he would be a good dog, and not mess with Ben. Then Klayton sat Ben down beside Godzilla just to prove his point, and Ben jumped on the dogs head, and nothing bad happened. Even when Ben gently nibbled on his ear, he didn't do anything. Ben went down by his mouth and all Godzilla did was give him a bath.

I looked up at Klayton and asked him how long it took him to get his dog to get along with Ben, Klayton gave a sigh, and said all morning...but it was worth it, because now neither one of us had to worry about Ben becoming a meal. Then Klayton ate a piece of bacon from my plate and said speaking of meals...I gave him a little grin and began to eat, then I playfully asked him if he made breakfast in his underwear for all of his guests...he chuckled with me and  said not at all, that I was that very special guest that he was giving his very special treatment to. After he snuck another piece of bacon from my plate, he jumped up and told his Godzilla monster to get outside and take care of business, and to stop being so lazy. He jumped off the bed with Ben scampering off after him, then he went to his closet and grabbed some clothes to wear and headed to the bathroom to change. While he was in the bathroom I got back into my clothes, and took my empty plate and food tray to the kitchen.

I sat down on the sofa and waited for him to get back out, to see what he had in mind for the day...because I honestly didn't want to take my exploration any further, for after listening to him singing to me on that stage, I believed that I finally found that one thing that I was looking for...Klayton was what was missing in my life, and I wanted to see if I could get him to be apart of it now.
