Guilty Pleasure

Page 66

It's late or early depending how you look at it. The after party was fun, for the most part the guys were the center of attention. They were congratulated and praised for their immediate success! Jared even got offered a part in a movie, he agreed to meet with the producer when we get back to L.A. Tomo, Vicki, Jared and I decide to go straight upstairs while Shannon and Julie decide to go for a walk. Julie's a bit tipsy which for her means she's completely relaxed, which is a good thing they're still in the infancy stage of their relationship which means she's still a bit cautious. The alcohol has relaxed her enough to where she can be herself and let her guard down a bit. They giggle and steal kisses as they walk S:"Thank you" J:"For what babe?" He loved this side of her, she wasn't trying to be perfect she was enjoying the moment, enjoying him.

S:"For you, for this" she looks at Shannon quizzically J:"For what, walking barefoot on the ......" she looks down at her feet "...... the cement?" he can't help but laugh at that! She puts her arms around him and takes his lips. He can feel her strappy stilettos between his shoulder blades S:"What's that smell?" she looks at him in shock J:"Shannon!!!" a comedian is he, ok I'm game. Julie decides to have a little fun with him. S:"Im just kidding baby" He takes her lips again, she makes her way to his cheek and whispers in his ear "Catch me if you can" Shannon looks at her quizzically raising an eyebrow, she giggles and takes off running. He catches up to her at the pool they stumble and fall onto a patch of grass. They're giggling and trying to catch their breath S:"Leaving me so soon?" J:"I would never leave you" she takes his lips, they were so addicting J:"You know, you should really keep your day job, cause you suck at comedy" S:"Oh really? I do?" He starts tickling her and they both laugh. She tries to break free but he's holding her tight blowing rasberries into her neck J:"ok ok......Shannon...... please stop" just when she though her stomach would burst he stops S:"I love you my sweet Jewels" she caresses his cheek J:"I love you more" they hold each close kissing and caressing, their desire peaking with every touch J:"Make love to me Shannon" S:"Right here?" She looks deep into those beautiful Hazel eyes and feels the cool breeze on her skin. J:"Umm, yeaaaah no!" They both giggle S:"Come on lets go upstairs" he gets up first and offers her his hand, he looks up for a split second and nearly drops her. J:Shannon!!!" S:"I'm sorry baby" they walk back to the elevator stealing kisses here and there. They step in and get lost in each other's touch someone steps in shorty after but they take no notice. Her perfume permiattes the elevator but they are too rapped up in eachother to notice. It's not until they step out that Shannon recognizes the perfume, its Leah's favorite! He shutters, and in a low whisper speaks her name S:"Leah" he turns to face the elevator just in time to catch a glimpse of her before the doors close "Holy Shit!" J:"Baby whats wrong?" He's in shock! "Shannon whats wrong love, you're scaring me" S:"Huh?.... it's nothing baby im fine" J:"No you're not baby, you were freaking out, talk to me, please!" Oh God not now she finally started to open up, he searches her eyes for an adequate response "I .... I thought I saw someone I used to know a long time ago" it's as close to the truth as he dares to get. J:"Who was she baby and why did you look like you saw ghost?" His reaction to Leah is obvious. The shock is still visible in his face. S:"Because I think I just did!"

Julie looks at the elevator doors and back at Shannon she searches his eyes not sure for what, talk to me, she pleads with her eyes but she doesn't want to push. That could lead to an argument and arguing with Shannon was the last thing on her list. Instead she kisses his beautiful lips and holds him close J:"I love Shannon". He presses her tightly to his body, one hand in her hair the other on her back as he kisses her shoulder then her neck S:"I love you ......... I know it's only been a few day but I do" I can't let her hurt you, I won't, he said with his heart. She feels safe in his arms she looks at the elevator door and wonders, who was she?
