stop calling me that. We are not together. As far as the interview goes, you’ve asked plenty of questions. Now, if you’ll excuse me,” he turns and walks the rest of the way toward me.
“It’s okay, Gare, I’ll be okay. Why don’t you show Ms. Harver out?”
“Yes, Sir,” Gary says in such a manner that I have to cough in order to cover up my laughter.
Alexis huffs, but turns and walks with Gary. I sigh in relief, but we have to keep up this charade until Alexis is gone.
“Ace, I’ve listened to your album so many times I’ve got all the songs memorized.”
He laughs. “That’s good. I’m glad you like the songs. Why don’t we walk this way the luncheon should be ready,” he says as he steers me toward the door.
We walk across the lot keeping up the act. But once he closes the trailer door behind him, he seals his mouth over mine. Wrapping my arms around his neck, I return the hungry kiss. When we break from the kiss, we are both breathless. Ace rests his forehead against mine.
“Thank you so much baby. I can’t stand being around that woman.”
“I have to say, I don’t like you around her either. Can’t someone else interview you?”
He pulls back and tightens his arms around my waist. “Gary thinks with the way she acts that she’d cause problems if I ever requested that she no longer interview me. So I just deal and when things start getting out of hand, Gary steps in so I don’t have to be mean and give her something to gossip about in her article.”
Nodding my head, I look up at him, smiling. “Thank you, Ace. This has been the best birthday, I ever dared dream about.”
“When I first saw your profile, something inside me came to life. When we started talking, my heart began to beat again. When I saw you from the stage, I knew then and there you’re my everything. I know this is all fast because we only just met face to face yesterday, but we have been talking for six months and…”
Putting my finger over his mouth to shut him up, I lean up and kiss his mouth softly. Pulling back, smiling, I lean in and kiss him again. The kiss quickly turns into another hungry kiss. Lifting me up, he sits me on the peninsula of the counter pulling me tighter to him as he stands between my legs.
“I’m surprised you held off this long,” Gary jokes as he enters the trailer.
Ace pulls away smiling. “I’m shocked too,” he winks at me.
“Well, she’s gone. You need to get back to work.”
Ace turns his attention back to me. “Are you sure you don’t want to stay for another performance?”
“No, I’m not sure, but I know I need to leave. It could draw attention if I’m here for yet another one. You know?”
He nods with a frown on his face. “Okay.”
Reaching up, I touch his face with my hands. “Will you be coming to the hotel?”
Kissing me lightly, he whispers against my lips. “Try and stop me.”
A few minutes later, we are walking out to the car and I notice that Ethan and Heath climb into the front seat of the car. My stomach turns. Maybe tonight I should tell Ace that I don’t like Ethan.
Ace kisses me soundly right there in the middle of the parking lot, pushing me against the side of the limo. Breaking apart, he kisses my lips lightly one more time.
“Relax until I get there and then we can do something together.”
Nodding my head, I gaze up at him dazed. “Okay,” I say distractedly.
Kissing me one more time, he opens my door. Looking down at me, something crosses his face that causes my stomach to tighten. Sighing, he closes the door and hits the top. Soon we are driving away.
Turning, I watch as he stands there watching the limo disappear and I watch as he does. This almost feels as though I am saying goodbye to him. It almost feels as though I won’t see him again. Turning back around, I sigh.
“Everything okay, Ms. Bella?” Heath asks.
“Yes, but no, if that makes sense.”
“He’ll meet you at the hotel before you know it.” He
“It’s okay, Gare, I’ll be okay. Why don’t you show Ms. Harver out?”
“Yes, Sir,” Gary says in such a manner that I have to cough in order to cover up my laughter.
