Dark affairs

The next day at work is filled with meetings concerning the signing of new bands and strategic marketing plans.
I don't even know why I have to attend these meetings, it's not my field of expertise at all but it's a monthly ritual that all of us have to undergo as it is a 'team building exercise' to know exactly what everybody at the label is working on.

To me it seems like a total waste of time but since I get paid for sitting around in conference rooms and drinking coffee and soda I don't really mind that much.

Finally the meeting is over and people start to leave as I shove my things into my bag to get out of this place I see Jack coming in through the door wearing his signature grin.

Immediately he has the attention of the managers as they greet him with handshakes and hugs and ask what they can do for him. I am surprised for a moment but then remember that All Time Low has been signed by this label for forever so Jack obviously is a well known and well liked person around here.

He returns the greetings and his cheeks just show a tiny blush when he sheepishly admits "uhm, I'm actually only here to pick up Mickey." Motioning over to me with his head.

Immediately all eyes are on me and I attempt to smile nonchalantly although I probably look as if I have just swallowed a lemon. So I quickly grab my bag and Jacks sleeve and pull him out of the room before any more embarrassing questions can be asked shouting a "see you tomorrow guys" over my shoulder.

Jack lets himself be dragged into the elevator looking a bit confused as to why I'm acting so weirdly. Once the doors shut and we are on our way down it seemed to have clicked in his mind as he asks almost worried.

"Uhm, Mickey are you ashamed of me?"

I look at him as if he has just made the stupidest comment, which in fact he has.

"No, NO! Jack! " I groan and run my hands over my face "It's just they will all think I want to be with you because of the fame and the money and start gossiping about me and I hate that. It's none of their business what I do in my private life."

He looks at me contemplating for a minute.

"And are you?"

"Huh? Am I what?" I'm confused.

"Are you with me because of the fame and the money ?" he lowly asks and his dark eyes gleam in the light of the elevator.

"Of course I am, Jacky-boi you got yourself a fine gold digga "

I smile and finally wrap my arms around his neck as he pulls me close to his body by my waist and ducks his head to press his lips softly against mine. He sways us from side to side as he mumbles into the kiss.

"That's my gurl" and we both have to snicker about how lame our jokes are.

As we reach the ground floor and the doors open he grabs my hand and together we walk to his car that is parked right in front of the entrance with two wheels on the sidewalk.

"Nice park" I tease but he seems genuinely proud as he grins at me.
"It is, hey?"

Once we're off to, I don't really know, his face falls a little as he starts talking seriously.

"Listen Mickey, I'm sorry about the other night in the Riff. I didn't mean to ignore you the whole night, you do know these girls mean nothing to me. Do you?"

"I do. Jack, but..." I sigh "even if not, I mean its not like we're in a relationship therefore we're not exclusive, so.." I trail off because I honestly don't know what else to say.

He looks away from the road for a moment and visibly gulps nodding with a forced smile. "Yeah, right..."

I touch his arm to get his attention and cock my brow in a silent question of what is wrong with him when he lightly shakes his head as if to chase away his thoughts and asks : "so uh uhm..we're good then?"

"Course we are" I assure him and he noticeably relaxes.

"So where are we going anyways?"

Suddenly his signature grin is back and he shifts in his seat with giddiness

"I have something planned to make it up to you, I hope you'll like it"

"Okaay" I let myself fall back into the seat and watch the city pass by as we drive in a comfortable silence with the radio playing in the background

We end up in front of his apartment and he eagerly pulls me out of the car and up the stairs.
He opens his door and I follow him inside and just stay there a bit lost because I don't know what he wants me to do until he turns around and takes the strap of my bag off my shoulders and helps me out of my jacket to place both items on the sideboard beside the door.
I have hardly time to slip off my shoes as he takes my hand and tugs it to have me follow him as he leads me upstairs to his bedroom.

He opens the door for me and steps to the side to reveal his surprise and I take in the room.

The bed is made and there are rose petals strewn over the sheets and on the white fuzzy carpet of his bedroom, a bottle of champagne sits in a bucket full of ice on the bedside table along with two glasses and a plate of food that looks like lobster. Burning candles are placed around the room and on the windowsills and the lights a dimmed. It looks awesome.

I turn around to an anxious looking Jack and I probably look confused as his face falls and he quickly asks. "Don't you like it?"

"This is amazing, Jack" I assure him "but you know I would have been content with pizza and a glass of wine."

"Oh shut up you and let me spoil you" he swirls me around so that I'm facing him and he comes closer. He softly caresses my cheek and lets his hands fall to my shoulders. He glides his long fingers along my arms and to the buttons on my blouse and a soft smile appears on his lips as he starts to unbutton them one by one.

"You are so beautiful, Mickey." He whispers.

I just stand there and let him undress me while I watch his eyes light up. I smile because I love how comfortable we are with each other and how soft and loving he is towards me.
I let him push my blouse off my shoulders and his lips delicately kiss my collarbone as he reaches around me and expertly opens my bra clip so this piece of clothing joins the rest on the floor.

He pops the button of my work skirt and it drops to the floor as well so I stand in front of him in only my panties.

I have a pretty average body but I feel comfortable in my own skin so I let Jack eye me from top to bottom and the smile on his face shows me that he likes what he sees.

So I start to undress him slowly in return, we are both not in a rush it's not lust that drives us it's the desire to be close to each other and to care for another and cherish the intimacy. We have all night.

When we both stand there in nothing but our underwear he quickly bends down and picks me up bridal style and I squeak because he caught me off guard. He swirls us around once chuckling and softly places me on top of the bed then he crawls in next to me.

He gently pushes a strand of hair from my eyes and bumps his nose with mine. "So, what would you like me to do, I'm all yours."
I pretend to think very hard " why don't you put this long tongue of yours to good use?" I grin.
He gasps " oh you naughty, naughty girl you." He growls as he kisses my lips and slowly makes his way down.

Notes

Well at the moment this story doesn't get a lot of recognition, maybe the plot isn't as interesting as I thought or maybe it's my bad writing anyway I will try and make it more interesting and pleasant to read.
