"Oh ok," I said, a little nervous at the thought of the party, and how many people were going to be there. I had about reached my limit for the day with how packed the stadium had been for the game.
Beckham must have noticed my unease.
"If you're not having fun, text me at any time and I'll pick you up angel," he said sweetly, wrapping his arm around me.
I laid my head on his shoulder, so happy to see him again. We chatted as we headed to dinner. Beckham wouldn't tell me where we were going, only that it was a surprise.
We pulled up in front of a high-rise. A doorman in a bright red uniform hurried over to the car to open our door. Beckham led me inside as the town car pulled away. I looked around in awe at the lobby of wherever we were. Everything was sleek and shiny…and very intimidating in its elegance.
Beckham led me into an elevator and I watched as the numbers slowly went up as the elevator moved. The doors opened, and I stepped out into a gorgeous apartment. From the enormity of the space, and how high the floor to ceiling windows rose, it looked like he had led me to a penthouse similar to Mason and Damon's.
"Where are we?" I asked, as I gaped at the lavish furnishings of blacks and greys around me.
"Home," he said simply, staring at me in amusement as I continued to gape and explore the space.
I looked at him quizzically.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I bought this place," he said, shrugging his shoulders. "I knew as soon as you left that I needed to be wherever you were. You just started school, so I came here. You can see me or not see me whenever you want," he explained hurriedly. "I just needed to be near you."
Beckham looked young and vulnerable, standing in front of me with his hands in his pocket, waiting for my response to his huge announcement.
"But what about your career?" I asked, moving towards him hesitantly. His face lit up.
"New York is actually a great place to make movies. I had a script I was thinking about taking even before I met you. You just gave me the nudge I needed. I start shooting on it next week."
With that obstacle removed, I ran the rest of the way towards him, jumping up and throwing my arms around his neck.
"Does this mean you're not mad that I'm stalking you, angel?" he asked, grinning.
"Stalk away," I told him, crushing my lips against his exuberantly.
More so than with the other two, it was easy for me to get carried away with Beckham. Everything we did just seemed so familiar that it didn't require any thought to slide into the next step with him. We had ended up on the couch, Beckham's shirt off, my hands sliding up and down his perfectly sculpted body, when the doorbell chimed.
We froze. I realized how far, and how fast, we had gone, and slowly sat up, smoothing out my hair.
"That will be dinner," said Beckham regretfully. I nodded, blushing as I observed his gorgeous body and realized that I had been all over him. He winked at me and went to get the door.
I started laughing hysterically when I heard a squeak and some bags crashing to the floor. I could just imagine what that poor delivery person had thought when the door opened, and a shirtless movie star appeared. We were probably lucky she hadn't fainted and was injured.
Beckham came back into view holding a few enormous bags. He looked chagrined and was blushing slightly.
"What is all of that?" I asked.
Beckham reddened further with embarrassment.
"I wasn't sure what you would want," he said, beginning to unload the bags while keeping his eyes averted from mine.
I watched in amazement as he opened boxes of sushi, tacos, barbecue, orange chicken and fried rice, burgers, pasta, and Thai food. I didn't even know where to start.
"Dig in," he said as began to put a little bit of everything on two plates. "One thing you should know about me is that I'm going to do whatever I can to make you happy. Even if that means ordering from ten different restaurants to make sure we eat something that you want."
I stilled his hand.
"One thing you should know about me is that I'm happy just being around you."
I gestured to the penthouse around us and the food.
