Sexy Love (2 page)

I sigh,
“another mission?”

“
Yeah, you okay
with that?”

I really want
to sit here watching TV and wait for her text message, but I guess
work has to come first as usual.

“
Sure,” I
reply. “What is it?”

“
There’s a
fight broke out in the city,” he tells me. “The people involved
really need protecting from Snider’s troops.”

“
Okay, I’m on
it.”

I get back late
that night and I’m so tired I just crash out in my bed. It’s only
the next morning when I wake up and remember Starlet’s text. I
quickly reach for my mobile and my heart leaps when I see a text
from an unknown number.

I read it
excitedly:

Hi Rickie, its

I smile and
reply back:

Chapter
3

I’m getting
ready for my date with Starlet, listening to my iPod in the
background. I made an effort for tonight, deciding to wear a black,
rock-band t-shirt with my leather jacket over the top, dark jeans
and trainers. I hope she likes it.

I’m gelling my
hair and re-styling it into long spikes when Carl arrives back at
the flat.

“
Hi. Where are
you going?” he asks, looking into my room.

“
Just out to
the pub with Mick,” I lie.

“
Cool. Err…do
you mind getting up early tomorrow?”

I stop
styling, “what for?”

“
I need
someone to go out of the city,” he replies. “It’s a pretty big
mission and it means staying away for a few days. I thought it was
best for you to do it.”

I frown,
thinking about staying away from Starlet for nearly a week. I bet
he gave it to me so he knew I’m safely out of Starlet’s
way.

“
I guess
that’s okay,” I answer innocently, not wanting him to get
suspicious.

If I tried to
get out of it he might wonder if there is something going on
between me and Starlet, and I can’t let him find out that there
kind of is.

“
It means I
have to come home earlier than I planned tonight but whatever,” I
finish.

“
Thanks bro,”
he smiles. “I knew I could count on you.”

“
Seeya later,”
I say and head out of the door.

It’s nearly
eight o’clock by now so I walk over to Starlet’s flat to pick her
up for the date. I’m feeling more nervous than I usually do and
really hope she’ll like me enough to be my girlfriend.

I knock on her
door and wait, feeling my heart pounding hard against my chest. She
soon answers and I look at her, smiling.

“
Hey,” I greet
her. “You look amazing.”

She looks
gorgeous and I can’t help but admire her skinny jeans that seem to
stick to her figure. Her light blue off-shoulder top looks sexy and
I get cravings to kiss along her bare shoulders. Her long hair is
straightened and she’s wearing lip gloss and mascara. She’s decked
out in silver jewellery: a crystal star necklace, a waist belt,
bangles and hooped ear rings. I notice she’s wearing silver strappy
sandals too which look pretty cool.

I look up
again to see her blush at my compliment, “Thanks.”

I ask her
whether she’s okay riding with me on my motorbike. I know some
girls are scared of riding on them, so I suggest a taxi if she’s
not comfortable with it. However, she agrees to come for a ride and
that makes me happy. At least she accepts my motorbike.

We walk down
to the car park where my motorbike is parked and she puts on the
spare helmet I give to her. I get onto the motorbike and let her
slide onto the back seat behind me. I rev up the engine and as soon
as we’re driving away, I feel her quickly hold onto my waist and
smile.

She clings
onto me even more as we go faster and her body snuggles up to mine,
pressing against my back. I can’t help getting excited at feeling
her so close to me. It feels so sexy riding on my motorbike with a
hot girl like her.

I want to pull
over somewhere and make out with her so bad, but I don’t. It’s our
first date, I need to be on my best behaviour and not come on too
strong.

We arrive at
the cinema and I jump off first and help her get down from the
motorbike. We take off our helmets and Starlet is embarrassed about
her wind swept hair.

“
You look
fine, Star, really,” I reassure her.

I have to try
to block out how much I want to run my fingers through her hair and
kiss her passionately against the motorbike right now. Somehow I
manage to.

I buy tickets
for us to watch a comedy film we both decide on and take her hand
to guide her to the back row of the screening room. We watch the
movie, laughing and sharing popcorn; but even though I’m enjoying
the movie my senses are going crazy with how much I want her. I
don’t trust myself to put my arm around her or kiss her during the
film because I know if I do I won’t be able to stop. I’ve no idea
how I control myself.

After the
movie has finished we head to the bar upstairs for a drink. We sink
into a private booth in the corner and I have to keep my hands on
my glass of Pepsi so I don’t do the things I’m longing to
do.

I start to ask
her about her training to distract myself and we chat about that
for a while. She tells me she’s got an interview at a bar tomorrow,
so she can maybe start her dance shows.

“
You’ll
totally impress them, you’re an amazing dancer,” I flirt and wink
at her.

We talk about
that and then I tell her all about the stuff that’s happened with
me at work. She seems so impressed that I risk my life to help
people.

When it gets
late, I reluctantly take her back home, wishing our night didn’t
have to end. It’s been the best date ever and I’ve never got on
with any other girl as much as I have with Starlet.

When we arrive
back at her flat, she thanks me politely for taking her
out.

“
It’s no prob.
It’s been great seeing you, Star,” I say and stroke her hair back
affectionately, my fingertips tingling with excitement.

She looks up
at me, meeting my gaze. I put my arms around her and hold her close
for a while. It feels so sexy feeling her body against mine and I’m
nervous about getting too excited over it.

We finally
part and I stare into her beautiful eyes, lost in them. My lips
ache to kiss hers and I’m dying to taste her on my
tongue.

However, I
remember that Carl is making me leave early tomorrow morning and
that I’ll be working away for a few days. How can I ask Starlet to
be my girlfriend and then just take off like that, expecting her to
wait around five or six days until I’m back? It isn’t fair on her
and it doesn’t seem the right time.

I stop myself
from kissing her and look away sadly. What if by then she’s found
someone else? I’ll never forgive Carl if he makes me lose my chance
with her.

“
Star,” I say,
deciding I’ll have to confess about it. “I’ve gotta go away
tomorrow for a mission. I’ll be staying somewhere else for a few
days so I won’t be around for a while.”

I see sadness
in her eyes at the thought of me going away and I just want to hold
her again and promise I’ll never leave.

Instead I
promise I’ll text her while I’m away and that I’d like to take her
out for a second date, if she wants to and if she’s still free
then. She happily agrees and I feel a little reassured.

“
I guess
you’ll be busy training tomorrow morning, so I’ll see you when I
get back.”

“
Okay.”

I don’t know
how to say goodbye to her. I want to kiss her or hold her in my
arms for a long time; but instead I just say, “Later, Star,” giving
her a wink before I go.

Chapter
4

I send a text
message to Starlet the next morning before I set off:

Hey Star,
how’s trainin going? xxx

I’m pretty
busy for most of the day but I manage to check my mobile in the
afternoon and see that she’s replied back:

Ok I guess. I
gt covered in flour wen I didnt get the bomb deactivation rite and
I really cant do computer hacking yt. Hows the mission going?
xxx

I smile,
thinking the flour accident is pretty funny and type a reply
back:

LOL u wil get
there wiv practice and I guess I cud help u out wiv the computer
hackin Im pretty gud at that. Its goin ok thanx. Cant wait 2 get
bak xxx

It’s only late
at night when I’m going to bed that I check my phone again and read
a new message from her:

Interview went


xxx

I grin, feeling
so happy for her and reply back:

Awesome! Well

xxx

She replies
back straight away:

8pm. Wil u b

I text
back:
I promise I wil


The week seems
to drag by and I’m craving to be back with Starlet so bad. I can’t
stop thinking about her and I’m excited for Saturday night when I
can see her again and watch her perform her first dance
show.

I’m relieved
when Saturday finally arrives and I can finish up work and drive
back home to the city. I arrive at
Indigo
Bar
right on eight o’clock and go in,
hoping I haven’t missed anything. I spot her friend with the purple
hair waiting near the stage, and a few seconds later Starlet
appears on it, the stage lights shining on her.

The music
starts and I watch her fascinated as she works through five songs
with amazing dance routines. I feel disappointed when she finishes,
but I cheer loudly for her with the rest of the people at the
bar.

I go to find
her when she’s left the stage and spot her walking out from
backstage with her friend.

“
It was so
amazing being up there,” I hear her saying, her eyes shining with
excitement. She’s looks so hyper and alive. “I can’t wait to do it
all again next weekend.”

She looks even
more gorgeous close up. She’s wearing tight denim shorts and a sexy
purple top that clings to her curves. She’s wearing make-up again
too: mascara, purple eye shadow, some glittery blusher on her
cheeks and sparkling lip gloss. Her hair is straightened as usual
and her blue highlights look brighter, so she must have had them
re-dyed.

“
Hey Star,
really cool dancing,” I say, arriving by her side.

She turns and
smiles when she sees I’m here, “You made it!”

“
Sure I did,”
I grin. “There’s no way I was missin’ your performance.”

Her friend
realizes we want some time alone and quickly leaves us.

“
I’m really
glad you came,” she blushes.

“
So how about
we go for that second date I promised you?” I ask.

“
Okay, where
are we…..” but she doesn’t have time to finish.

Her answer is
interrupted by a loud crash nearby and she breaks our gaze. My
heart starts to thud hard inside of me as I see a raid happening.
Everyone’s rushing around trying to get out, bar windows are
smashed and the door gets broken through as four police officers
enter and look around.

“
Run,” I tell
Starlet and grab her hand, pulling her along with me.

I get her
outside and to my motorbike.

“
Why are we
running? What’s happening?” she asks as I give her the spare
helmet.

She looks
panicked and confused, not knowing what’s going on. I quickly
explain that they are corrupt police officers who are hunting down
our employees and they’ve probably seen me and come into the bar to
arrest me.

I’m scared
that Starlet isn’t protected enough, so I give her my bullet proof
jacket to wear for safety. We get onto the motorbike and that’s
when the chase begins.

I warn her to
hold on tight and race off on the motorbike away from the police
officers that are in pursuit.

As I’m driving
I hear police sirens and Starlet warns me that they’re chasing us
in a vehicle. They fire guns at us and I manage to dodge the shots
and go faster. I do a sudden turn into a side street and loose
them, racing ahead until we’re out of sight.

“
I think we’re
safe now. You okay?”
