"Would You Like To Know Me?"

Part 21

You pulled into the parking lot just as the mall was opening thankful the mall wasn't packed out forgetting it was the middle of the week. Paul walked over to your car door and opened it for you to get out. Dipping down stealing a quick kiss before wrapping his arm around you. His kindness and the happiness you had felt in just a day and a half made California seem like the perfect decision but only one thing loomed over your head, leaving your mom to fend for herself. Paul's voice pulled you back to the present.

"Y/N what are you thinking about so hard?" he looked down at you smiling pulling your hand to start walking.

"Just about how great yesterday was, and how happy I feel," you said looking down smiling.

"Oh there would be more good days and AMAZING nights like yesterday, if you come home with me to California, and its a promise on the amazing nights' ' he raised his right hand and winked. Sending you into a laughing fit.

"I'll keep that in mind for when I make the final decision sir" sticking your tongue out causing Paul to groan as you pulled him into a record store.

Heading in opposite directions of the stores him heading toward the Motown section and you toward the posters and t-shirts. Finding a shirt that would fit Paul perfectly, both in his fashion taste and in his attitude with the band you quickly bought it.

" Finding anything good ?" You asked walking up to Paul. Shaking his head he looked like a kid in a candy store. Holding up an album by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles.

"This has one of my favorite songs on it, pointing down to the number 11. "Tracks Of My Tears," Paul said looking at you grinning.

Looking around you pointed " there's a place you can listen to the CD before you buy it. we can go over there if you want?

Grabbing your hand he led you over to the listening area. Asking the clerk to put the cd on track 11 before taking two sets of headphones. Setting in the corner. Paul pulled you close, as the song kicked on. The music was smooth but sensual, making you want more of the music and more of Paul.

"I'm gonna go buy this and we can head to a different store or grab food if you want? Paul looked at you and for the first time noticing the bag in your hand reaching for it.

"This is a gift for later mister " smacking his hand away. Let's go find another store " you said as you walked to the door waiting for him to buy the album.

"Dude ... You're like Paul Stanley from KISS... can I get your autograph " you heard loudly from the door. Hearing Paul day something back to the young kid and grabbed a pen. Shaking the kid's hand. Paul headed your way.

"Does that get overwhelming? You asked looking at him

"Not really, we owe the fans everything. I will admit it does sometimes with having Evan out. I don't like missing our bonding time or people taking pictures, but it's part of the game. He shrugged

Walking around the mall for a little over an hour hitting every store from books to clothing. Walking past the toy store you stopped admiring all the Disney stuff you had loved as a kid. Seeing the oversized 'Eeyore'.

Laughing as you pointed it out " I loved Winnie -The Pooh as a kid, he was my favorite character. Looking up at Paul and his melting smirk.

" Another positive about coming to California with me, Disneyland! We could go whenever you want and I'm sure all these guys are there. It's just fate Y/N you gotta come with me, all the good things you deserve are in California are there. He said

" if the band doesn't work you definitely could be a salesman. You just won't let California be forgotten about, will you? You asked, shaking your head.

"Nope, not until I hear a yes, " he said in a serious tone.

" I promise I'm really thinking about it, Paul"

You walked over to the arcade, a place you hadn't been in since your teenage days when your friends and you would spend Friday night out here running around. Seeing the photo booth you smiled.

"Wanna take a few photos to remember our time together? "Paul whispered in your ear, grabbing you causing a shiver to run down your spine. How he could hit a nerve like that with a small action was beyond words. A nod was all you could muster.

Paul pulled you on top of his lap. After taking a mix of silly and sweet photos. You collected the photos and getting up of Paul's lap to leave.

Suddenly feeling him pull you back to him. Before you could ask the question, you were silenced by him urgently kissing you as he needed it to save him. He brushed his tongue across your lips as asking permission was ever needed. You opened quickly allowing him to own the kiss as you moved to straddle his waist. Earning a satisfied groan from Paul. Detaching from your lips his mouth to your neck nipping and sucking. Wrapping your hands in his hair to pull him as close as you could in the little room. The thrill of getting caught made the action more. Grinding your hips against his earned a whisper of "oh god" as he returned the motion and nipping hard. " God Paul" pulling away for air. Looking at him, pupils were blown.

"We're gonna head back to the hotel, we can eat lunch there or dinner" by the sound of his voice there was no room for questioning it.

"Okay, whatever you want. Kissing him one more time, we could have gotten caught ya known? You said

"I just had to Y/N. You bring out something I can't explain, and apparently you wanted to, so I don't see the problem."He said

Grabbing his hand and all the bags Turning to see him grab the photos winking at you. Leaving the mall to the hotel as quickly as the speed limit would allow. Paul had lit the spark and tonight a fire would ignite between you. California may be the way to make the dream of love come true.
