CHANCES (Andrew Lincon Romance)

Chapter 13

The next morning I awoke a mixture of emotions. Uncertainty mainly but still a mixture all the same. Andrew was already gone to work. He had mentioned that he had press interview starting at seven in the morning. Rolling over I laid my head on his pillow. I could still smell a slight scent of his cologne. My body tingled in memory of his kisses. I laid there staring at the painting of a little boy playing in the rain. I was in trouble, big trouble.

Last night was incredible. I mean beyond incredible. It was absolutely romantic. The kind of romantic that stories are written about and not what my reality is like. Watching the fire light flicker in Andrews mesmerizing eyes and his sexy as all hell smile. How natural and right it felt to be together. The way my body came alive when he kissed me. His touch making me want more. The mirror image of my desire found in him. Andrews thick husky accent as he said what I needed to hear. Topped off by sleeping in his arms as if I was exactly where I was suppose to be in that moment.

Oh yes I was in deep trouble when it came to this man. I was going to fall and fall hard for him despite my inner voice warning me. The feelings I was already having were far to soon. I knew it was from the connection we had from talking before and not just last night. It's not like we just met. Still all the same I should at least try to keep my guard up some. Call me cynical if you want but I'm sure at some point the other shoe is going to drop.

With a heavy sigh I rolled out of bed, found my bag and headed for the shower. I called Tammy to check on the girls but didn't get an answer. After I finished throwing everything back in my bag I sat on the edge of my bed at a loss. Last night was my last night booked into the hotel and today I was suppose to be heading home. Back to reality. The problem with that reality was I hadn't said goodbye to Andrew. The thought hadn't even crossed my mind last night. Now everything felt so up in the air. I couldn't decide what to do. If I called him maybe he would think I was to needy or clingy. If I didn't would he then think I didn't care and couldn't be bothered. Somewhere in my head a little voice was telling me I was over thinking it.

Unsure of what to do with the rest of my day I wondered aimlessly into the living room area. Positive I had all my stuff I might as well go check out. When I grabbed the roses from last night a note slipped from beneath them. Written on it were two words....Call Me

Never was I so happy to see two little words I nearly did a happy dance. I instantly grabbed my phone and called Andrew.

"Hey there sleepy head," his voice drifted threw the phone. "How's your morning?"

"Hey to you too. My morning is good so far. How's yours?" I asked.

"Umm it stated to early with having to leave you and it's been to long waiting for your call." My heart flip flopped at his words. "Come have lunch with me at eleven thirty. I want to see you."

Trying to sound causal I teased back, "You want to see me do you. Why is that?"

His laugh was low and husky, "Ill take that as a yes."

I felt like saying ill do anything you want but instead opted for, "Sure I'll see you in a few hours."

Feeling like a giddy school girl on the last day of school I checked out and set about occupying myself for the next few hours. I had never explored this area of New York and I discovered several unique stores. One thing about New York it was so big it has several hidden gems if a person has the chance to go looking. In one store while I was browsing I came across a golden key pendant. I stood there debating unable to make a decision. Finally when the sales lady asked me if she could help me I just knew. I smiled at her politely and asked "Can you engrave October 2014 on it please."

Feeling as if I was on cloud none I left the store and drove over to meet Andrew for lunch. The Conference Centre was just as packed as the first day. Gradually I made my way over to doors where security was standing. After checking with Andrew that he was expecting me the buzzed me through. I had barley come around the corner and he was scooping me up in his arms.

Nuzzling the side of my neck he mumbled, "God you smell good."

"Do I?" my voice was already husky.

Lifting his head Andrew leaned in gave me a kiss. "We should go grab some lunch ."

"Ok sounds good." Only he didn't move away but pulled me closer. Running his hands into my hair he lowered his lips to mine once more. His lips were slow and searching as he deepened the kiss.

Through my desire fogged brain the small thought of where we were came to lite. Placing my hand on his chest I pulled back slightly. "Maybe we should go grab that lunch,"

Andrews eyes were heavy with desire as a slow sexy smile spread across his face. Leaning in he whispered, "Its not fair."

He began nibbling on my ear and I had to struggle for self control. "What's not fair?"

He took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "What you do to me."

Clearing his throat he took my hand and kissed my finger tips. "Let's go see about lunch before I'm ripping your cloths off you."

I felt like a trembling mess as we started to walk towards the dinning area. Nearly as soon as we sat down we were joined by some of the other cast . I was such a pile of nerves I more or less pushed my food around on my plate as a posed to eating. Every time Andrew looked at me I could feel my temperature rise and my pulse quicken.

After we were done eating Andrew offered to walk me back to the entrance.

It's not like I didn't know the time to say goodbye was creeping upon us but I was saddened all the same. Unfortunately all good things have to come to an end and so I turned preparing to say goodbye.

My words died in my throat as I looked into Andrews eyes. Captivated I stood there as he leaned down capturing my lips with his. He wrapped his arms around me pulling me close. Crushing me to him. This kiss was passionate full of unbridled desire.....I couldn't catch my breath.

Andrew pulled away slightly and I groaned at the loss of contact. Swallowing hard he too was breathing heavy. "I can stay another night if you want."
