night” I say pressing a few keys to find my starting notes “is a pretty little ditty by a very talented girl named Sara Bareilles called “Gravity”. Hope you like it.” I close my eyes while I sing and play the piano, feeling every note and putting all of my emotion into the song. When I finish, I finally hear people cheering and whistling, then shuffling either to the bar or out of the door. One of the bartenders turns on some radio tunes, since the bar is open another hour after the band finishes playing.
I turn my head and see Ryan with a big smile, standing at the bottom of the steps, waiting for me to come down from the stage. I stand and make my way to the end of the stage and practically jump into his arms; he’s so stunned, he almost doesn’t catch me. Ryan laughs and then gives me a quick peck on the lips.
“Wow baby. What got into you tonight?” he says. “Well, hopefully you’ll be getting into me tonight” I say, winking at him and giving him a sly smile. Ryan just groans and tightens his grip on my waist.
On our way out, I turn and give a small wave to Kara who’s standing behind the bar. She looks confused, but then smiles when she sees that I’m happy to be with Ryan. Even though I told her how much he hurt me when I left home, she also knew just how much I had loved him and wished I could have been with him. I’ve told her on more than one occasion that I stopped dating other men because they just weren’t Ryan, and Kara never judged me for it. She just told me I was a hopeless romantic and that one day I would find what I was looking for. Today was that day, I guess.
Ryan and I walked home slowly, holding hands and talking about how our days had gone while we were apart. “You know, you have an amazing singing voice, Brynn. Have you ever thought of just singing for a living?” Ryan asked. “You mean like working for a record label and making CD’s?” I say while I’m looking at the sidewalk while we head to my house; Ryan just nods.
“Well, I’ve had a few different people from pretty well known record labels approach me and ask me to come and sing for them, but as much as touring the world while doing something I love should appeal, I like the idea of having a home that I can come back to each night and relax, and I think that I would grow to hate singing if I were singing the same songs all the time and traveling constantly. I like where my life is at right now and I’m not looking to change that any time soon.”
I look over to Ryan and notice that his brows are pulled together and he looks a bit sad. “What’s the matter?” I ask.
“Uh, nothing. Don’t worry about it.” He gives me a half smile and then looks down at the ground.
I can see by the look on his face right now that he’s worried about where we are going to go with this new relationship since we live in two different states, but I’m not sure I want to talk about it right now, either. We’re finally connecting again, and getting into a fight about how this will work isn’t what either of us needs right now.
We walk through my front door and before I can even fully push the front door closed, Ryan picks me up, gripping his hands around the tops of my thighs so I can wrap my legs around his waist, and pushes my back against the wall.
His face is next to mine, our foreheads touching, but he’s not kissing me; just looking into my eyes with love and peacefulness in his own eyes shining back at me. “I love you, Brynnie. I want to make sure that you know just how much I love you.”
I open my mouth to tell him that I love him too, but he takes the opportunity to slam his lips into mine and kiss me furiously. His fingers tighten on my thighs and then move up to squeeze my ass. I groan and close my eyes while Ryan is grinding against me. The friction from his jeans and my shorts feels amazing, but I want more from him.
“I need you inside
