Rescue Me

Rescue Me | Chapter Nineteen

Jared lifted his head from his phone looking toward Andrea. His eyes drank in her sun kissed skin, noticing the new freckles on her right thigh just below the hem of her skirt. Licking his lips, he made a mental note of their exact location for later.

Floating up her body, his eyes landed on her face, radiantly glowing in the last remnants of sunlight that pierced through the back window of the black SUV that would take them to their destination.

Andrea was lost in thought, smiling while she mindlessly fumbled with the cord of Jared's straw beach hat. Jared reached out, placing his left hand on her thigh and pushed closer.

"What put that smile on your face, baby?"

"The memories we made this weekend." Kissing the corner of Jared's mouth, Andrea continued, "Coachella is something I've always wanted to experience.

Jared twirled his finger around a loose curl hanging in front of her ear, and leaned in, "We have so many more to make sweetheart." He whispered, placing a kiss on her temple.

Andrea felt the heat of Jared's hand slowly ascending her inner thigh, inching closer to the edge of her skirt. Biting her bottom lip, her eyes met his in a silent plea for him to stop, but also not stop. The thought made her giggle.

"What's funny, Andie?" Jared breathed against her neck. His right hand lifted her leg up and over his before reaching for his hat and covering her lap.

When she felt his hand cup her center, she gasped quietly, "Jared!"

Jared chuckled and nibbled on her earlobe, "You want me to stop," He stated, pulling his hand away, quietly laughing when Andie wiggled her hips, "but yet don't want me to stop. Am I right, Kitten?" He asked, gliding the tips of his fingers slowly up and down the middle of her panty clad sex.

Andrea dropped her head back to rest on the seat, sighing as she dug her nails into his forearm. Jared brought his left hand up to Andrea's chin, gently directing her in his direction, a mischievous smirk playing at the corner of his lips when their eyes met.

"Mr. Leto, we are here, Sir." Their driver announced, just as Andrea pulled Jared's lips to hers, both of them sighed resting their foreheads against each other's.

"We will continue this at home baby girl." Jared said softly, quickly kissing her lips once more before he slid gracefully out of the back seat and onto the red carpet.

Andrea sat frozen in place, knowing she only had a moment to collect herself. She gracefully exited the car, sliding the strap of her big bag containing her life and Jared's inside it over her arm. Thankful for her long legs, she caught up to him quickly and was where he'd know to look for her, two strides back and to his left.

As she expected, Jared cut his eyes over his left shoulder and nodded with a smile which she happily returned. The flashbulbs of the de rigueur glittered against the backdrop of the MTV Movie Awards. Andrea watched her boyfriend slip into one of his many characters, smiling for the press as she ducked behind the curtain to meet him at the end of the photo line.

Emma arrived soon after, the three of them rehashed the amazing weekend at Coachella until Andrea was approached by an old cast mate. She enjoyed catching up on how life had been since their show had wrapped but she had lost sight of Jared and Emma.

The ushers started clearing the lobby and sending people to their seats. Andrea started up the stairs to the area designated for assistants, but decided she'd rather wait back stage. Digging her laminated pass out of her bag, she placed it around her neck and made her way down the side aisle.

Once in their assigned seats, Jared turned around shielding the bright lights from his eyes with his hand. His eyes searched the balcony twice looking for Andrea, coming up empty. Turning back around, he sighed, wishing she could be sitting here next to him. Not that he didn't love Emma dearly, she was one of his best friends, but he ached to be able to share this with his girl.
