Black Velvet | Jeffrey Dean Morgan

6.

I asked him to join me in taking titty shots, but he told me he needed to have some more drinks before he'd do that, so I didn't insist, respecting his decision. He did promise not to be a bore though, so who knows what might happen later after those drinks. 

I had had a few encounters with known people because of my job, and while some of them were nice, some were incredibly rude and arrogant. Jeffrey was nowhere near arrogant, he was so nice it was almost impossible to believe. We talked about everything, from our jobs to our parents, his divorce, pets and the galaxy. 

''There she is, my favorite 25 year old'' I hear Maria say out loud. She approached me with arms wide open, a small present box in her hand and a wide smile on her face. ''Happy birthday, dear! I hope all your dreams come true'' she hugged me tight and I was so thankful I had such amazing people like her in my life. 

''Thank you! You shouldn't have'' I said she gave me the beautifully wrapped box. ''I'm glad you came''. 

''Of course, I promised''. She then looked towards Jeffrey, who was turned to the person he was talking to. ''Wait a minute, Jeffrey?'' her eyes went wide. They knew each other? 

The actor turned around, surprise on his face. ''Maria'' he said with a smile. ''What are you doing here?''. 

''I could ask the same thing'' she laughed. 

''Birthday girl wrote to me on Instagram, so I came'' he said shortly as he looked at me and smiled. 

''Oh, so you know each other?'' Maria asked as she pointed between us, an eyebrow raised. 

''I mean, not really'' I finally spoke. ''This is the first time we meet in person and I was definitely not expecting him to take me seriously when I told him to come'' I continued. ''I mean, what known person just does that?'' I laughed. ''But how do you two know each other?''. I was so confused but at the same time I wasn't; my boss was an event manager, she met with a lot of famous people at events. We never met Jeffrey while I worked for her though. 

''First time we met was many, many years ago right at the beginning of my career as an event manager'' Maria started. ''We met at events a few times after that and him and my husband clicked really well. Last time I met Jeffrey at work was before I hired you'' she looked at me and smiled. 

''It's been a while'' Jeffrey added and I just nodded. 

''Come dance with me, babe'' Rob came, grabbed my hand and lead me to the dance floor before I could say anything else to Jeffrey and Maria. I went for it and the rhythm took me away to another planet where all that existed was music. We danced together but then almost everyone joined us, so we made a big circle and went with the flow. 

I wanted Maria and Jeffrey to join us, so I went and grabbed their hands. Maria shook her head and told me she had to go to the toilet first, but Jeffrey got up and followed after me. 

''You and your boyfriend are really good dancers'' he told me. 

''My boyfriend?'' I asked confused, but then realized who he meant. ''Oh no, no, no. Rob's not my boyfriend''. Jeffrey wasn't the only one to say something like that about Rob and I. It worried me, I didn't want us to look like a couple and Rob didn't want that either. Did we look closer than we thought when drunk? 

Jeffrey didn't say anything, he just stood there and smiled at me. He had also had some drinks so he was definitely becoming tipsy. ''You don't like dancing, do you?'' I asked. 

''I don't consider myself very good at it'' he chuckled. 

''Then let me show you how you do it'' I grabbed his hands and pulled him in the middle of the dance floor. ''Holy shit, this is my song'' I said excitedly as Beyonce's Drunk in Love suddenly started blasting through the speakers. Tay and a few other of my close friends looked at me, knowing I loved that song, knowing I always gave my all on the dance floor when I heard it. 

''You want me to copy your moves?'' Jeffrey said amused as he looked at me move my hips in a snakelike manner. 

''Move that ass, Jeffrey'' I yelled over the music. ''Let me show you'' I said as I lived the music. ''Just go with the flow, yeah?'' he looked at me and nodded once.  

I was so excited to dance, I was euphoric, happy, dizzy. Something in me gave me more adrenaline and although it was hard to admit, I think it was because Jeffrey Dean Morgan was in front of me. 

Before I could say something to Jeffrey or continue dancing, one of my friends came to me with a tray of blue Kamikaze shots. ''Ahhh, fuck it, if I die tonight at least I die happy'' I said as I lifted up one of the small glasses. 

''You love your drinks, don't you?'' Jeffrey looked amused as he too grabbed a small glass. 

''If you're insinuating that I'm an alcoholic then you're so wrong, honey'' he said and raised an eyebrow, probably at my choice of that last word. ''I only drink at parties'' I said as a matter of fact. 

''I didn't insinuate anything'' he reassured me. ''Cheers, Hazel'' he lifted up his glass and downed it. His voice was getting raspy from all the alcohol and hearing my name between his lips got me hot. I barely knew the man, but hey, this was Jeffrey Dean Morgan we were talking about. 

''What?'' I asked as I noticed his naughty facial expression. 

''Bring on the titty shots'' he said. 

Hi! 

I just wanted to mention that I do not think one should drink as much as Hazel to have fun and I do not encourage anyone to do so if they do not want to. THIS IS JUST A FANFICTION.

I know things are going slow but that's exactly how I want them to go. If it's too much, let me know.
