Boy Out Falling

by E. C. Johnson

  Steven. What I said didn't really come out right. Meridith said to have fun, but if that type of fun happens we will meet that girl I keep talking about. I know I sound crazy, but this is how it was before.

  Jen

  P.S. It was a wonderful feeling.

  I folded the paper and handed everything to him.

  “Thank you for the ride.” I smiled at him and closed the door.

  I laid down on the couch and was flipping through the channels for a few hours before my doorbell rang. I got up and Meridith was standing with a stone face.

  “Jen what happened? I heard you left then the driver was telling us that you had started crying in the car. Also what is with the note thing?”

  “Whoa, Meridith, slow down. I'm sorry I left you and the note thing is something that just happened, and I was crying because I was about to sleep with him, but didn't. I wanted to so badly.” I looked down at her hand. “What’s that?” She looked down.

  “This is for you.” She handed me the note and I looked at her hand again. “I know right it's so sudden, but it feels right.” There was a small diamond on her hand. “He took me to his place and asked me with his great-grandmothers ring.” She saw that I was playing with the note in my hand. “Why don't you look at the note?”

  I opened it.

  The feeling was amazing. I don't think any other girl can make me feel the way I do with you. I don't want this one thing to change how we feel about each other.

  Steven.

  “What are you going to do?” Meridith asked.

  “Let me guess you read the note?”

  She smiled, “Yes, but he was also talking to me. He really does want to be with you.”

  “I don't want to get my hopes up.”

  “Then don't. Just enjoy your time with him.”

  “You're right.” I grabbed my bag and keys.

  “Where are you going?” She asked.

  “To go back to his house and enjoy myself.”

  I drove to his gated community and I was surprised that the guard let me in. Maybe it was from all the tabloids I had been in. I pulled into his driveway and walked up to his door. I stood there frozen. I don't know how long I stood there until the door opened. I saw Steven standing there. I put my arms around him and kissed him. The tingling charge came back.

  We went up to his room. Once the door was closed out clothes fell off of us, we didn't sleep that night. It wasn't until almost dawn by the time we were asleep.

  I woke up at four in the afternoon lying in his arms. Now wondering if this was going to stay like this or change. I moved closer into his body. He felt me move closer and he tightened his arms around me.

  After a few moments. “Are you hungry?”

  “A little, but I don't want to move.” I moved my head in his chest.

  “As much as I want to keep you like this I should feed you. Also I want to see you in one of my shirts.” He slowly loosened his hold on me and got up. He went to his closet and dug through all his clothes. “This one is my favorite.” He came out holding the shirt he wore in his first music video. It was blue and that was a great color on me. I was a teenager when I first saw the video.

  I jumped out of bed and grabbed the shirt and took it to the bathroom. I didn't want to him to see how I looked. It was like a short dress, since he was a bit bigger when he wore it in the video, it only cover half of my butt. I opened the door. I looked and saw Steven had left. I walked down to the kitchen.

  In the kitchen Steven was cooking. When I walked in he saw me. He had super speed and grabbed a hold of me. He didn't know where to put his hands on me.

  “I think the food is burning.” I could smell the smoke.

  “Shit.” He pulled away from me. “Sit down.” He pointed to the island. I sat down across from where he was. After a few minutes he turned around with two plates of food.

  “I'm not the best cook, but I can cook.” He put the two plates down.

  “I don't mind.” The food wasn't bad. I hand two bites of food and looked over at Steven. We both at the same time pushed the plate to the side and got on the island. He laid me down then his doorbell rang.

  “Go back up to the room. I'll get who's at the door to leave.” He kissed me than got off of me. I went up the stairs and stopped half way to listen to what was going on.

  “Really? Let me do something, and I'll be ready.” I heard Steven talking to the person at the door. I went up the rest of the stairs quickly to the bedroom. I went to the mirror and started playing with my hair. Steven came into the room.

  “I got bad news. I forgot the band has to go to New York for a charity benefit. I want you to go. If you want to go just put on clothes and we can get new ones while we are in New York.” He started packing a few things and putting on more clothes.

  “How long will you be there?”

  “Monday night.”

  “I'll call into work.” As I grabbed my clothes and put them back on. I picked up my phone and saw that I had a message from Meridith. Telling me that she is on a tabloid about her engagement, and then she added if I had gone through with sleeping with him. I didn't text her back. I figure I would see her in New York.

  Steven had finished packing and we had gone down stairs. There was a man waiting at the front door.

  “Jen this is the band manger.”

  “Pleasure. Really I've seen the swim suit pictures.” I got uncomfortable when he said that. I moved closer to Steven. He took my hand with his free hand. I stayed quiet the whole way to LAX. We boarded a private plane. I saw Meridith sitting by herself. The band members were together and their girls were sitting together. Steven walked over to them and sat down. I sat next to Meridith.

  “Can you tell it happened?”

  “You do have that glow.”

  “The idea of him meeting another girl still hasn't left my mind though.”

  “Is it making you go crazy or are you just having fun.”

  “Fun. We almost had fun on his kitchen island. I have a question how did they find out so quickly?”

  “I don't know how they found out. That is fun.” We started giggling. Then I really did think about it, was it just having fun or was I hoping I that I was the girl.

  “Stop thinking.” Meridith looked at me. “I know you're worrying. Just stop.”

  “I-.”

  “No.” She gave me the death stare. “I'm changing the subject. I was kind of hoping for a more private plane. To join the mile high club, but maybe when we come back. Here's a better subject the wedding is going to be in New York this weekend.”

  I smiled at her then yawned. I didn't sleep that much and it was starting to catch up with me. I closed my eyes knowing it was going to be five hours before we got to New York.

  I woke up four hours later lying down and next to Steven. He was reading a book. I moved closer to him.

  “You awake?” He asked quietly.

  “Yeah.” I turned my head and everyone was asleep. “Why are you still up?”

  “I wanted to see you sleep.” He laughed. “Really it's because my mind won't let me sleep.

  “Oh.” I stretched. “What's on your mind?”

  “You crawling into the bed with me.” He pulled me up closer to him and kissed me. I still got that tingle. The electricity that seemed to flow through one into the other and back. We pulled back from the kiss.

  “I don't know how much I will see you. I know Meridith is planning to go wedding dress shopping. I love her, but I'd rather be in the hotel room with you.” I was thinking this was just going to be fun this weekend.

  “I would want that too.” He kissed my forehead. “Don't let her put you in an ugly bridesmaid dress. If she does I'll have to tear it off your body.” He placed his left hand on my face his thumb was in the front of my ear and his fingers on the back of my neck. His right hand was caressing my thigh.

  “How long is the Charity for?”

  “Three hours for two days. One is tomorrow the next is Mo
nday.”

  ”Okay. We have tonight to ourselves.”

  “Yes, we do, but Westley told me that Meridith wants to double.”

  “Do you want to? If not I can talk to her so we can be alone.” When I said that he kissed me. “Is that a yes?”

  “Does this answer your question?” He got on top of me and kissing my neck to my clavicle. Both his hand were all my body trying to find the best places to touch me. I could feel him up against me. I wanted to take off his clothes as he took mine, but I held back as he did. I put my hand into his hair.

  “You might want to get ready.” We heard his manger say to everyone.

  Before Steven got off of my I pulled him in for a kiss. I was being greedy. Once he was off I got up and headed over to Meridith. I gave her our look that we have for each other when we need to talk. She got up and we went into the bathroom.

  “I just want to tell you I don't want to double. I kind of want to be alone with Steven.”

  “I get it, but I thought it would be fun. Tomorrow we are going dress shopping.”

  I smiled. “I knew you would.” I got closer to her. “Don't pick out a bad dress. It might not make it.” I laughed. She looked at me confused. “Steven said he would tear it off.”

  “I don't think even a good looking dress would last with the way he looks at you.” We both laughed. “He asked me to pick out some clothes for you they will be at the hotel.” She turned and pulled out a bag. “Here is an outfit you can borrow today.” She handed me the bag that had outfits of hers. “I also ordered some sexy outfits for you as well.” She went to sit back down.

  I went into the bathroom to change into the clothes she gave me. I sat back down next to Steven. He just stared at me.

  “Meridith knows how to pick out clothes.” Then he got close to my ear. “You look great in this, but even better with nothing. I wish we were alone right now.”

  “We will soon.”

  Once the plane landed I started to get real nervous. The band got up and walked out of the plane together. Meridith and I with the other girls waited until they told us we could get off. A second car pulled up for us to get into.

  The car took us to the back of the hotel where the boys were waiting. I think Meridith was out of the car before it even stopped. I let the other girls get out first. I got out and walked over to Steven. He put his arm around me as we got into the elevator. I got closer to him once in the elevator. It was small. The doors opened on the thirty-third floor. Everyone got out. Each one of us had our own suites.

  Steven opened the door to our suite. I walked in and over to the closet. Meridith was right stocked with clothes. I heard Steven lock the door. He picked me up and ran to the bed. He turned as we fell into the bed to where I was on top of him. We were kissing and only taking a breath to take off each other’s clothes.

  A knock at the door made us stop.

  “Will we get any peace?” I groaned.

  Steven picked up his pants and I grabbed a robe that was tossed off the bed. I heard Steven say that they could wait for the charity tomorrow. It sounded like his manger was upset. I think Westley was saying the same thing that it could wait. The manger wasn't having any of it. Steven came back into the area I was in and was carrying his suitcase. He threw it angrily onto a chair and was going through it to find new clothes to put on. He pulled out something’s and sat down on the bed next to me.

  “He wants us to go down to the fans that are in the lobby.”

  “Do you want me to be there?”

  He kisses me than nodded his head. “I don't want to and two others feel the same way. The manger doesn't want to hear anything.

  I kissed him on the cheek. “It's okay you're famous. Famous people have fan otherwise you wouldn't be famous.” I got up and went to the closet to get clothes, but I didn't know what to get. I just pulled out a black top and jeans. I quickly fixed my hair. We both walked to the elevator. The others were also coming out of their rooms. Meridith was the only other girl than me.

  “You two lady's I want you to walk out of the elevator first then the band.” The boys got in then us behind them facing the door. When the doors opened Meridith and I walked to the right as the band went forward. We found some seats to wait at.

  “I hope this doesn't take too long.” Meridith seemed like they had just ruined what we had been doing.

  “I know why he wants you. You're a freak, but I already knew that.” We both laughed.

  “We wanted a quickie before hitting the town.”

  “We just wanted a second round. Since this afternoon kitchen session was interrupted by this trip.”

  I saw Steven look over into our direction. He smiled, but at the same time had a sad face. I got why he had that face. We wanted the same thing.

  “I want to take him from here and go back to the room” I whispered to Meridith.

  “I know what you mean. Sometimes it will be hard to live with. Even though it's only been a month.” She wouldn't stop staring at Westley.

  “I'm glad I haven't met a girl yet.”

  “I think everyone is happy with that. I really don't think we ever will meet that girl. Like he has been say he only wants you. Maybe just maybe the other guys really didn't want to be with you.”

  “It could be, but I really did think some of those guys really did want to be with me. Now I can see how he treats me I was wrong.” I started to get tired so I put my head back.

  I woke up a few hours later in the hotel room lying next to Steven. He was holding me tight. I had the feeling I had to pee. I moved his arm off me and tip toed to the bathroom. I realized when I got there I was still wearing my shirt and underwear. After I went to the bathroom I went to the closet and went through all the clothes Meridith had bought for me. I found a really cute light blue teddy. I put that on. I crawled back into the bed.

  Steven moved a little then woke up.

  “You changed?” His eyes were half opened.

  “Yeah. Do you like this one?” I asked and kissed him.

  “I like you no matter what you wear or not.” He pulled me on top of him. He started kissing me.

  “Are you sure you aren't too tired?” I know I was wake from using the bathroom.

  “I think I can manage.” He pushed up on the teddy. Then he yawned.

  “I think we should lay off until morning.” I said. I didn't want him falling asleep.

  “It was just to get some more oxygen to my brain.” He yawned the last word.

  I wanted to ask which brain, but kissed him instead. He yawned again.

  “Later.” I pushed myself off of him.

  “If you want.” He pulled me close to him while on our sides.

  I woke up the next morning to someone pounding on the door.

  “Jen! Jen!” It was Meridith. I looked and saw that Steven was still next to me. I got out of the bed and went to the door.

  “Jen!” She ran into the room when I opened the door. “Wedding dress shopping.” She looked at me and smiled. “Get dressed in something that isn't so sexy.” I grabbed some clothes from the closet and grabbed a pen and paper. In the bathroom I got dressed and wrote a note at the same time.

  Steven

  Meridith took me wedding dress shopping see you afterward.

  I placed the note and went out the door with Meridith.

  At the elevator.

  “Let’s find me a sexy dress” I said to her.

  “I'm okay with that.”

  We went to the famous wedding dress seller in New York. We didn't need an appointment because of who she was marrying. We asked if we could both try on dresses at the same time just to make mine for a maid-of-honor. It took an hour but we both found dresses. Hers was a corset type that made her boobs squeeze out for the top. Mine she had wanted in black, and asked for the top to be made smaller so my boobs would come out a little more.

  “This is the best way to go dress shopping.” Meridith had a glow to her.

  “How many hours more bef
ore the wedding starts?”

  “It's one. It starts at ten so nine more hours.”

  “Did you already buy your outfits tonight?”

  “No.”

  “Let’s go out it then.”

  For four hours we looked and looked until we came to a store and the white corset was just what Meridith was looking for. We went back to pick up the dresses and back to the hotel. It was about seven when we got back to the hotel. We did our hair and put on my dress and went down stairs.

  By the time we got to the venue it was ten minutes to nine. Meridith and I went into a room to finish getting ready.

  Nine thirty there was a knock on our door. Letting us know we had a few more minutes left. I carried her train down the hall to the double door.

  “I forgot to ask who's the best man.” I asked her.

  “I am.” I heard Steven.

  “Let’s get ready to walk.” A fat lady had said. “No you put your arm like this.” She moved Steven's arm. “Now you put your hand here.” As she moved my hand it touched Steven's hand and that sent a charge through me. I loved the way it felt. “Now we walk. She pushed us forward when the doors opened.

  I then felt Steven's arm tighten. Before we went to the separate sides he grabbed my hand.

  The whole time the ceremony was going on I was looking at Steven and he was looking at me. When it was over Westley and Meridith walked down the aisle and Steven grabbed my hand. We walked down the aisle and once we got through the double doors he pulled me to the hallway. He tried different doors until one opened. He threw me into the room closing the door. He pressed me up against the wall. He started kissing me.

  “This dress looks great on you.” He said as he traveled down my neck. He placed his hands up the dress to my legs and picked me up. “Let’s get this in before anyone notices we are gone.”

  He pushed his mouth to mine. The way he did sent the tingle of electricity through me.

  The door opened. We both looked.

  “Sorry. I'll lock the door.” Meridith smiled.

  I wrapped my arms around his neck. The electricity between us was strong. I never wanted him as much as I did now. We tried to make it fast, but we were enjoying each other embrace. We took half an hour. When we came out the whole band and Meridith were standing there. They were all smiling. I was embarrassed. I know I wasn't loud, but the idea they were all standing out there while we were going at it. The guys from the band pulled Steven aside while Meridith and I stood together.
