Forbidden - Tom Parker

Part 20 - Alone again

I sat at the dressing table and dried my hair, thinking about what happened on the plane. I bit my lip as my breathing got heavier. I turned the hairdryer off and heard the lock click on the door.

I turned to see Conor smiling happily at me, "You alright babe"

"Yeah" I stood up and walked over to him. I pulled him in and kissed him passionately. His hands pulled my waist in closer as we continued to kiss...but then he pushed me away,

"I know what that means and I dont want to rush any thing" Conor explained, moving towards the bed

"But it should come naturally, and it did just"

"For you, not for me". I felt hurt. Why didn't he want to sleep with me? I was his girlfriend! He must think of me in that way in order for us to date...shouldn't he?

"Oh"

"Why don't we go have a meal? Come back and watch a DVD?" Conor tried to make me smile. It worked on the outside, inside I was still hurt and worried.

So, off we went for a meal. We sat in the restaurant and order or drinks. The place was so romantic; calm music, dimly lit lights and scented candles on the table. The door was in my eye line, I noticed people coming and going but couldn't describe them to you. Until, 20 minutes in, a couple came in. I glanced up but then had to double take just to make sure. There they were. Tom and Kelsey, wrapped around each other and pretty much eating each others faces! I held my breath, hoping they didn't notice me and Conor. They were shown to their table and sat down. Tom was dead ahead. We were in each others view. Tom finally looked up and caught my eye. He smirked and winked before going back to talking to Kelsey.

"...and thats why it - Tiff? Are you listening?" Conors voiced snapped me back to reality

"Huh? Oh yeah, course I was" I smiled as a waiter came passed, "Excuse me, another bottle" I smiled at the waiter, picking up the empty bottle of wine and shaking it making sure he knows its empty.

"What did I say?" Conor smirked

"Erm -" I was truely and utterly stuck, and he knew it

"Never mind" Conor took my hand which was resting on the table, "You're too pretty to be mad at"

I smiled at his sweetness. How can I be this lucky? The waiter brought over the bottle of wine, popped it, poured some into each of glasses before resting it on the table.

"Anything else ma'm? Sir?" the waiter asked, standing proudly

"That's it thanks" Conor looked up and nodded to the waiter. I took that oppotunity to look over at Tom. He was laughing with Kelsey...they looked so happy. 

"Just going to the bathroom" I got up from the table and walked to the restrooms. I pulled open the womens toilet door when someone took hold my waist. I looked round to see Tom.

"Shhh" I said as he led me to the disabled toilet. Once the door was locked, his lips met mine. The same feeling came back as on the plane. We parted and he looked me straight in the eyes, "I can't leave you alone. I've wanted to do  that since I walked in here" He lent in and kissed me again. Passion rose from my stomach and to my lips.

10 minutes later we walked back to our tables. I sat down and huffed, "Queues suck" I said, hoping that will cover my tracks. Conor just smiled as our food arrived.

We snuggled under the duvet in the hotel room and watched Bridesmaids. Half way through, Conor got a phone call,

"Gotta go babe" he kissed me on the forehead and got out the bed, "Gotta get to the show"

I nodded and snuggled under the duvet more, "I'll be here when you're finished" I smiled

"Alright, see you later" I put his jacket on and left.

Alone in the hotel room, again.
