In My Dreams (4 page)

James

She smiled and mentally checked off the first things she had mentioned in her essay. If he were not able to be there at the airport, then he would leave a note. She knew the rest of the time she would mentally tick off each thing he did that was mentioned in her essay. She blushed to think that he actually read it or had someone summarize it to him
. Oh, get a grip girl, that’s what he‘s supposed to do. It’s your dream weekend. Not his.
She poured a glass of champagne and took a sip. She was not one to drink a lot, but this was a special event, so she would indulge. After a few moments, she felt the car moving.  Half an hour later, the car was stopping in front of the hotel. Destiny put her glass down and pulled out her compact mirror in her purse to look at her makeup. She had not put on a lot, but she wanted to make sure that it was still looking fresh. She had not expected to see James this evening, but part of her wanted to be prepared for any surprise, like the one he gave her when he talked to her over the phone.

Her door opened and the chauffer extend
ed his hand to her to help out of the car. “Miss Long. Your luggage has already been given to the bellhop, and Sean is just inside waiting to help you get checked in.”

“
Thank you,” she said, straightening her skirt and walking into the waiting open door. The door attendant said, “Good evening Ma’am,” as she passed by him. Destiny nodded her acknowledgement. She walked with anticipation toward the front desk. She saw a grungy looking guy about the age she would assume James is waiting at the desk. She hoped that it was Sean. The man walked over to her, meeting her half way, “Miss Long?” he said with his hand extended.

“
Yes,” she said tentatively taking his hand.

“
Nice to meet you. I am Sean.”

She smiled and nodded.
“Nice to meet you.”

“
So you are all checked in, and here’s your key. Feel free to call me if you have any questions. Did you want to go out for dinner or just order in this evening?”

“
I am thinking just ordering in and call it an early evening.”

“
Sounds good. By the way James is staying here tonight and tomorrow night to make it easier to keep the schedule.”

Destiny
tried to look unconcerned with that information but her heart was somewhere in her throat now and close to choking her. Sean handed the card key to her room, walked her to the elevator and pressed the button.

“
So again, you have my numbers, if you need me.” He smiled as if he wanted to say something else, but just turned on his heels and walked away. Destiny watched him, then behind her, she heard the elevator ding, and she turned and entered the elevator.

Destiny was in awe of her accommodations. She had thought that she would be in a regular hotel room. She was actually in a nice size suite. She was sure there might have been bigger ones, but for her this was big enough. She eyed the kitchenette, the dining area, the sitting area, and then the space set aside as an office cove. She walked into the bedroom where there was a vase of silvertip roses - her favorite rose. They were perfect. She laughed aloud when she saw the bag of cool ranch Doritos chips sitting next to the card.

She continued her tour of the suite, walking into the spacious bathroom where there was a Jacuzzi tub with sixteen jets and an assortment of bath oils and crystals. She was impressed with the variety and made a quick schedule in her head
of when she would be using each one, starting tonight with the Jasmine oil and crystals.

Setting her purse and coat down on a chair, she walked over to her suitcase and started looking for her PJs. She had a long day ahead of her, and she wanted to make sure she was well rested. She walked over to the roses and took a sniff. The
bouquet was captivating. She opened the card and it read:

Destiny
,

See, I do read. Enjoy on me!

James

She smiled and placed the card next to the chips
. Picking up her PJs, she went into the bathroom and set her PJs down on the bench next to the tub, then leaned over to turn on the water and pour in the jasmine oil and crystals. The aroma filled the air as the water began to foam. She slowly began to undress, when there was a knock at her door. Grabbing the robe that was in the bathroom she flinging it over her shoulders as she padded to the door, she called out,

“
One minute.”

She opened the door to find a room service waiter with champagne and strawberries.

“Compliments of InTouch Magazine,” the waiter said.

“
Oh, come in, you can just place it over by the table. Thanks.”

Destiny
tried to tip the waiter, though he refused. She resolved to keep trying until someone accepted her money. She also made a mental note to bring it up to James or Sean in the morning. She was not a charity case, and although she appreciated their gestures, her money was just as good.  Okay sure, it was her pride talking, but she didn't want to get caught up in the fantasy of it all and lose herself in the moment. This was just a weekend, nothing more, and she would not think of herself as the poor little girl being rescued by Prince Charming, no matter how much it looked that way. She remembered the tub and ran back to the bathroom, spinning on her heels to grab the champagne and strawberries.

~~*~~*~~*~~

She used the remote to turn on the radio that was embedded in the wall. It was one of the Internet mp3 stations. Since she would be spending time with James, she through it would be appropriate to allow him to serenade her, so she looked for Masters of the World music station. The music to “In the Mood” sprang to life, and she stepped into the bath and closed her eyes and began to relax. Her mind began to wonder about James. What he had planned for their dates? Although her essay was specific about some things, the actual date was really up to him. She just wanted romance and originality. She began to think about James’s tattoos, his lean toned body, not bulky with muscles but well defined; his voice, those dimples, his hair…Oh God, and his hands.

Destiny
’s hands began to caress her body as she fantasized how it would feel to have James touch her. Her hands touched her face, her neck, ran across her chest and cupped her breasts. Soon they were no longer her hands but his hands, his fingers, and his arms. Pressing, pulling, squeezing and caressing her. She moved slowly down her stomach to her slit. Sliding her fingers slowly into her slit, she slid one finger into her love box; it was wet and slick. Stroking a few times, she inserted another finger and rubbed her clit with her thumb. Her other hand began to tug on her nipple. She was always proud that her breasts were ample enough to allow her to suck her own nipples, so she lifted it up to her mouth and began to suck and tug her nipple with her teeth.

She could feel the pressure building between her legs, and her swollen clit was aching for release. She stroked and rubbed even harder. Her moans were soft and throaty. She let her head fall back and gave into the pure lust of the moment, moaning louder as she kept constant pressure on
her clit. “Oh fuck,” she moaned, almost screaming.

Her eyes shut tight; her fingers showed no mercy pounding into glistening flesh. Her legs
widened so she could get her fingers deeper. Her breaths became short and erratic.

“
Oh, James…Yes! YES! YES! Fuck me James!” Destiny’s head moved from side to side and her mouth opened into an “O,” though no sound escaped as her release flooded through her body, soaking her fingers. She exhaled a breath and sank lower into the warm water.

Pleased with her escapade, she pulled her fingers out of her cunt and licked them. She loved the way she tasted.
Destiny opened her eyes to pour more of the champagne and enjoy her afterglow of pleasure, when she noticed someone standing in the doorway.

“
OH MY GOD!”

“
Wait! Wait, Destiny u-um,” he said stepping forward.

“
Who the fuck are you? How do you know my name? Why the hell are you in my room?”

“
It’s me, Destiny. It’s James.”

“
How in the fuck did you get in my room?

“
I knocked on the door and it opened,” James said, turning to point to the front door.

“
So you just thought you could walk in my room uninvited? Who the fuck does that?”

“
Well, I called your name, but”, he said pointing to her in the bathtub; “I guess you didn’t hear me.”

“
Get out! Get out! Oh, God. Get out!” Destiny realized that he must have seen her masturbating and calling out his name. Now she was truly embarrassed.

He laughed,
“It’s Okay Destiny. I’m actually…”

“
Get the fuck out of here!” she interrupted, and James walked out of the bathroom. There was no doubt in her mind now that he saw her, and now she had to be around him for the whole weekend. Destiny held her head in her hands. “How do I recover from this?” she said aloud to herself.  She could feel her tears beginning to swell. “This is not good.” Then she realized that his voice was still engulfing the bathroom with the words to “I Want You, Now”
She rolled her eyes and chuckled to herself. She grabbed the remote turned off the radio and decided against putting on her PJs, just in case he had not left her room. She needed to be fully dressed.

She entered the bedroom, praying to God he had actually left. There was no sign of him in the room. She breathed a sigh of relief.  Now she would have the necessary time to recover from the episode that just kept running repeatedly through her head. She reached in her luggage and pulled out a t-shirt and jeans and a silk purple panty set and put them on. She decided to order something to eat. Walking into the sitting area, she picked up the phone along with the menu to place her order.

“Yeah, that sounds good. I‘m famished.” she heard from behind her.

She
spun around grabbing her heart, “What the…” dropping the phone and the menu to the floor.

“
It’s still me. Listen, I’m sorry about the thing in the bathroom,” he said, “but I did come here for a reason. Forgive me for walking in without being invited. That was not my intention, nor was it my intention to see you naked in the tub.”

“
James, what did you see, or worst yet, what did you hear?”

He smiled,
“Do you want the truth?”

“
Yes.” She looked away knowing his answer already.

“
Come sit down, I wouldn’t want you to hurt yourself when you collapse on the floor,” he teased.

“
James, you need to tell me now,” she urged.

“
Let’s do this, Destiny,” he said, lowering his head and raising his eyebrows at her. “Let’s sit and we can discuss what I came to discuss, then what I saw and what I heard. Fair enough?”  James held his hand out to her.

She nodded, though
she didn’t accept his hand, and she walked to the couch. Her heart was beating so hard she thought he could hear it.

James
asked, “Okay, have you ever read
Fifty Shades of Grey
?”

“
Who hasn’t read that book?”

“
It’s not polite to answer a question with a question, little girl.” He continued, “Well there was something in the book that I have started to implement in my life. I hope you understand. I did not want Sean to go over this with you; I chose to do it myself.”

Destiny
looked confused and said, “Go over what?”

“
It’s a Non-Disclosure Agreement. Everything that we do this weekend, none of the specifics can be discussed, including that little segment in the bathroom. Take a moment to read it and then sign if you agree.”

“
Why is this necessary? And I’m supposed to give an interview to InTouch about our weekend. I am sure I signed something with them saying that I would give all the horrid details.”

“
Yes, their contract just states that you have to tell what we did in general and what it felt like to be with me. Here are the questions they plan to ask you.”

Destiny
took the paper from him. She was already regretting winning this contest. She had just wanted to crawl in a corner and die.
Rock Stars are such privileged people.
She read over the questions, picked up his NDA, and signed without reading it.

James smirked at her, seeing her
frustration in the situation.

“
Now, we can talk about what I saw and heard,” he said, smiling, as he picked up the NDA and signed under her name.

“
Honestly, I pretty much saw everything from you slipping into the tub and proceeding to masturbate to me singing and screaming my name.” He paused to see how she was taking this news. “I would have said something, but I thought it would be rude. So I waited and believe me, Miss Long, that was the longest wait of my life.”
