Random Scene - Part II of II

Rachel didn’t say anything else. She liked him. She was willing to put up with all the press frenzy but she couldn’t force him to have a relationship with her. She tried to understand his point of view. For the last two months they had been seeing eachother almost every day. They had talked about a lot of stuff and even shared private feelings. But still until that day he had kept his past secret. So if it had been so hard for him to open up to her it had to be terrifying to imagine his life being excruciated in the public eye.

“I’m being selfish” – she admitted – “this is my life, I chose it. I mean, not the gossiping and all that, but I knew it would be a consequence. But you didn’t. And I understand that you don’t want that for your life.”

She was being honest. She really understood him. A lot of times she had wished nobody knew who she was. But it was ironic how most of times she had to worry about people only getting close to her because of her fame and this time it was the opposite. Being famous was becoming a curse.~

“It’s not about that Rachel” – it wasn’t. He was sure he wouldn’t exactly enjoy all the attention. But he was genuinely worried about her.

Rachel was facing down. Defeated. He lightly pulled her chin up to face her – “Think about it….”

“You’re thinking too much” – she moaned.

“And you’re not thinking at all” – he said tenderly – “Sweetheart, I know it feels good. I wish things were different too. But even if we decided to give it a try in 4 months I’ll be gone.”

“It doesn’t have to be like that.”

“You know it does. I have Lea back in Portugal. And you have your life and your work here. It wouldn’t work.”

“Why can’t we just enjoy the time we have and think about all that when the time comes?” – Rachel asked. She knew it wasn’t going to be easy but she didn’t want to spend the rest of her life wondering how it could have been. She wanted at least to give it a chance.

“Why are you willing to face all the media and all it’s going to come for something that might not work?” – he admired her. Hayley had broken his heart and left definitive marks. But in spite all that happen with Chase Rachel somehow still manage to be open to love.

“Because there’s never guarantees in love. I agree with you babe, the odds are against us but maybe we can make it work. Trust me I’m aware of all that’s going to come but I’m willing to go through all of it, to try. The question is, are you?” – she asked looking him in the eyes.

“I’m just trying to protect you” – he explained – “I don’t want to mess up your life.”

“What if nobody knew?” – she said suddenly.

“What?”

“We could keep it private. We don’t need to tell anyone. We can give it a try. See how it goes without having to deal with all that pressure.”

He smiled. She had found a way around it – “Let’s do that” – he agreed.

They kissed passionately and Rachel gently nibbled his full lips. David pulled her towards him and slowly passed his hands over her body caressing every inch of it.

He whispered tender words on her ear and she let him know how much she wanted him. Rachel wrapped her arms around his neck and he kindly picked her up. Carrying her into the bedroom David laid her on the bed and looked her in the eyes. With his fingers he appreciated the beautiful features of her face.  The deep brown eyes, her mile-long eyelashes, her gorgeous smile and those sexy dimples, everything about her was perfect.

Pulling off his shirt David laid on top of her sliding his hands under her top. Grabbing her perfectly toned thighs he kissed her stomach smoothly. Rachel rolled over and sat on top of him. Running her hands through is bare torso she kissed his chest. She felt his hands on her back while his strong arms embraced her. He kissed her shoulders as she felt herself melting and their bodies becoming one.

“I don’t ever want to leave this room” – she told him afterwards snuggled on his arms and resting her head on his chest.

Her alabaster skin contrasted nicely with the dark chocolate tone of his body.

He kissed her forehead rubbing her shoulder gently with the tips of his finger – “If only we could…”
