Stuck On You

Chapter 26: LA

The next two weeks were spent polishing up the routine for the charity ball. Hayden and I made sure

that I wouldn’t be all bruised up before our performance; that would be embarrassing. Finally, we were

checking into our hotel in Los Angeles… all six of us. Sophia wasn’t allowed to go for obvious reasons.

She wasn’t a part of the crew anyway. I swiped the card against the door and pushed it open. Hayden

dragged my bag along with his and walked in as well. I could already tell that this was going to be fun.

I‘d been to the charity ball a million times but this was different. Hayden was with me. I let out a huge

sigh as I smiled.

“This is going to be good for us,” I predicted. Hayden smiled and kissed me gently.

“As long as I’m with you, I don’t care where we are,” he said sweetly. I pretended to gag which earned

me Hayden’s full attention. He picked me up and tossed me onto the bed. I squealed before I landed

on the soft comforter. I laughed and just laid there for a while. Hayden chuckled and shook his head

before he moved our bags into a corner by the desk. My dad got us a huge suite, complete with a main

room, bed room, kitchen, and wash room. My favorite part was the shower. It was large and spacey

with a bench seat running across the back. There were three different shower heads coming from each

of the walls and then a rainfall type of shower head covering the whole ceiling of the shower. It had

lighting effects and music and everything.

“I’m going to go get into the shower,” I said, sitting up. I walked to my luggage and grabbed my

products before entering the bathroom. I turned the shower on as well as the blue light effect and the

Pandora radio. I closed my eyes and smiled lightly as all four showerheads began soaking me with hot

water. You can imagine my surprise when I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist. My smile widened

as a shiver ran down my spine. I turned in the fog to see Hayden. He kissed me gently.

“You run your water really hot,” he said. It didn’t seem to be a problem for him though. I shrugged.

“I like ‘em hot,” I said suggestively. Hayden only laughed and kissed my head. It was crazy how

comfortable I was around him. It was like we’d been together for years, not months. After we finished

up in the shower, I dressed in some comfortable clothes and plopped down on the bed. I smiled lazily

as Hayden got in beside me. He kissed me gently, his hand trailing along my hip.

“What do you have planned for tomorrow?” he asked me. I propped myself up on my elbow and sighed.

“Nothing, I figured we could lounge around here tomorrow. We’re going to be here for a week anyway,”

I explained.

“Sounds good to me,” he said suggestively. He reached over to kiss me but I pulled away before he

could.

“No more bruises while we’re here,” I said. His bottom lip pulled down in a pout as his eyebrows knitted

together. He was adorable when he pouted. I laughed and pecked him lightly. His Hand went to the

small of my back and pulled me closer to him. I giggled and pushed a hand against his chest. He

groaned. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Jo,” he whined. I pushed him back gently but sternly. If we continued like that, I wouldn’t want to stop

him. I needed to keep my whole body one color for this performance. The costumes were already kind

of short. I felt Hayden’s lips on my neck as he moved to hover over me. I found myself letting my eyes

slip close. Hayden’s hand went under my shirt to my waist. No, he wouldn’t get his way this time. I

pushed my hand against his chest, but that didn’t faze him.

“Hayden, seriously, we have to… dance in a few days,” I argued. My words were just words. I couldn’t

say that I didn’t love this right now. Hayden chuckled before he brought his lips to mine. My breathing

picked up as I felt his chest rise and fall with his increased breath. My hands were doing the opposite of

what I wanted them to do. I found myself gripping his shoulders, bringing him closer to me.

“Jo, please don’t stop me,” Hayden practically begged. I didn’t want to but I had to. It took everything in

me but I finally pulled away.

“I promise, the day after that and every day after that while we’re here, we never have to leave the bed

if you don’t want to, but I know how we do this. I love you, more than anything, but I can’t have a hickey

or bruise when we perform in a few days,” I said, chuckling lightly. He gave a devious smile before he

kissed my cheek.

“I love you more,” he said softly. I smiled and rolled my eyes before I snuggled into his side. We ended

up watching movies until we fell asleep.
