Only In My Dreams

Chapter 12

Tee POV

I can't believe that I agreed to this. Well, I am driving my own car, but I can't believe that Tae is sitting with me. I have to keep reminding myself that I'm just another fan to him, and I can't let him see how his presence affects me. If at all possible, I need to make sure that I'm not alone with him again when we get to Bas's apartment. At least I feel safe that I'm following right behind Bas's car. I have a strange feeling that if I have to rely on Tae's directions, it would take forever to get there if I got to Bas's at all.

I scan the road and I keep a rather close distance between Bas's vehicle and mine. I wonder how much farther it is to his apartment.

Tae reaches forward and turns the radio on. "I hope you don't mind if I listen to some music."

I keep my eyes focused on the back of Bas's car and reply, "Yeah. It is fine."

At this particular moment, I'm so glad that I have an older car that doesn't have blue tooth technology. I'm afraid that if I did, I would be listening to Tae's songs right now. That is the last thing that I need to hear when I'm trying to keep myself calm and not panic. Shoot, just answering his question has me rattled. Well, the question isn't what is affecting me. It is Tae's voice. Every time, I hear his gorgeous voice, a little bit of my wall tries to crumble down, but I can't have that happen. I'm not going to be another notch on his belt, so to speak. I'm sure he has fans falling all over him all the time and I would just be another one of those fans if I allow myself to crumble and give in. I have to keep my walls up and I can't give in to him.

After what seems like hours, even though it is only another 15 minutes, we finally pull into a parking garage for an apartment building. We stop behind Bas as he talks to the guard. Another guard pulls out something from the small guard shack and heads towards me. I roll my window down.

The guard holds out a pass and I grab it. "You need to hang this on your rearview mirror while you are parked here. When you are ready to leave, stop by the guard shack as you leave and turn the pass back into us."

I nod my head. "Thank you."

The guard points towards Bas's vehicle. "Continue to follow Mr. Pinnirat and he will show you where to park."

Once again, I nod my head. The guard steps back and I roll my window back up.

Tae leans a little closer to me and chimes, "I can show you where to park. You don't have to worry about Bas showing you."

His warm breath brushes across my sensitive ear and I fight with all my might to keep my body from reacting. Quick! I have to think of something that will instantly counter anything that Tae does, but what.

Suddenly, the image of my grandparents making out flashes in my mind. Why would I think of that? However, I'm not going to argue because my body is instantly repulsed by the image. I don't have to go anything farther, luckily. This has done the trick.

As I hold back a little chuckle, I keep my eyes on Bas's vehicle. "I think I will just let Bas direct me."

Tae leans even closer to my ear. "Are you sure? I'm know that you will like where I'll take you."

Instantly, another image of my grandparents popped into my mind and instead of moaning and giving into his warm breath and how it would have sent a warm shiver through my body, I practically grunt in disgust while I shake my head. "Uck.."

Tae POV

What the hell just happened? I have never been rejected before. Shoot, I usually don't even have to try this hard. Normally, the fans seem so happy to be this close to me that they practically throw themselves on me. I don't have to do anything but open my arms and let them come to me. However, I could have sworn that he was getting effected by me before the show. What happened? Not to mention, what the heck was that just now? Did he just snort at me?
