Chapter 23
"Wow…." was all Kevin could say as his eyes fixed on Dee.
"Didn't your mom tell you it's not nice to stare?" she asked, trying not to giggle.
"I'm sorry, it's just that, well, you…you …you look really good." he said as his face blushed.
Kevin just couldn't take his eyed off the 5'7" beauty. Her thigh length, lilac colored, spaghetti strap silk dress clung to the right spots as it fell softly over her thin frame. Over top was a long silk wrap that hung loosely off her shoulders. Her curly, fiery red hair (with just the hint of purple highlights) fell from a clip in the back. Soft wisps bordered her naturally warm face.
He could feel his cheeks warm slightly as he continued to stare. What was it about her? Her beauty? Well, yes, that was part of it…but there was much more about her that intrigued him. He just knew that this was going to be a night to remember.
"Now, Mr. Richardson, really, you must stop staring. It isn't polite." Dee giggled. "AND…you mustn't keep a lady waiting." she said as she walked up to him.
"Oh, yes! I think we can be going now." he said, noticeable embarrassed.
Kevin then escorted Dee to the limo that sat in her driveway. As she entered, she saw a bouquet of long stem red roses. The scent was heavenly. A few tears formed in her eyes as she realized how Kevin was careful to cover every detail for the evening.
After a 40 minute drive to their destination, the limo pulled up to the Royal Palace Restaurant. It was the exclusive Thai restaurant in the area and he was sure that the two of them would enjoy their evening. A red carpet was rolled out on the entrance to the restaurant. The limo pulled up and a valet opened the door and assisted Dee and Kevin out. Flashes from all around brightened the area as Kevin escorted Dee in. Everyone oohed and aahhed as they walked in. Dee was slightly overwhelmed by the attention, however, she was somewhat used to it. Her designs often found her fame. She was often featured in premier magazines and found herself being whisked up a red carpet to a run-way show. The fame that Kevin had was much more overwhelming, however, Dee felt at ease with Kevin.
The evening was filled with romance and excitement. They talked
for hours and enjoyed each other's company immensely. The two both
wondered where this relationship would lead them. Dee loved Kevin
and it was apparent that Kevin loved her just as much. Kevin finally
broke down and asked her,
"Dee, I know that we have only known each other for a few days, but,
I was wondering, would you like to see each other regularly? I really
enjoy your company, and well, to be honest, I think I really love you."
he said as his cheeks flushed.
Dee was excited and shocked both at the same time. She really wanted this to work, and she was hoping that he would feel the same as she did. "Umm, Kevin, I don't know how to say this, but I was just about to ask you the same thing. I love you too, and I really want to be with you." she said, her cheeks just as rosy as his.
"But Dee, I have to tell you, my life is crazy, and I am always on the road. I want you to know though, we can make it work, honest. You can join me anytime you want…all you have to do is get on the plane. I will take care of all the arrangements…" he continued.
"Kevin, sweetie, I can take care of the arrangements too, I don't want
you to spend your money on me, I just want to be with you. I have
everything in life that I want, now that I have you." she said with a smile.
"Dee, you are the best thing that could have happened to me.
I love you." he finished.
"I love you too, Mr. Richardson." she whispered, and then leaned in a gave him a very passionate kiss.
After a wonderful meal, the two decided to head out. The two wanted to spend more time together, since Kevin would have to be on a plane later the next day.
"Would you like to come back to my place?" Kevin asked nervously.
"That sounds wonderful, I would love to see where you live anyways." she said as she giggled. She then gave him a sly look and the two embraced. Their passion left them intertwined the rest of the way home.
When they arrived home, very little was seen of the house. All that was visible was the clothing scattered and draped all around and up the stairs….

Later that evening, in the Carter household…(hehe)
"Mr. Carter, is there anymore pizza left over there, or did you eat it all?" I asked.
"Ms. Truesdale, I left you the last piece. I knew that you would want it." Nick said with a laugh.
Nick passed me the cardboard box. I just looked and laughed. The boxes the Pizza Hut still used were the Star Wars collector boxes.
"This movie is over six months old and they are still using these damn boxes!" I said with a giggle. "Someone went a little hog wild with the merchandising don’t you think?"
Nick just laughed. "Well, it's just like the silly pictures that the teenybopper mags put out. Some of them are SO old! We can't believe that they are still printing those corny promo pics from when I was 16. It is so amazing!" he said.
I opened the box and screamed! "Nick! My pizza! It's naked!! What the hell did you do to it?!!" I yelled as I stared at the naked piece of pizza.
"WHAT?!! I didn't do anything…" he said, "except rip off the toppings..and um, leave ya the crust." he finished with a mumble.
"You left me the CRUST!? But…but…but…I wanted another piece of pizza! You ate over eight pieces…and I only got two!! What a pig!" I said as I pouted.
"Oh sweetie, I am sorry, I will go and fix you something. Or, I can order more..or I can…I can…" he tried to say as he was silenced by my kiss.
"You know what you can do for me?" I asked seductively.
"Umm, what? what?" he asked curiously.
"Well, I have some chocolate syrup, whip cream and cherries. If you could go and get them, and then meet me in the bedroom." I said with a smile.
I had never seen Nick jump up and run so quickly. I was laughing so hard that I almost fell off the couch. As he bolted to the kitchen, I quickly got up and ran down the hallway to the bedroom. I pulled out two bowls that I hid in the nightstand and then an ice cream scoop. I then laid seductively on the bed, waiting for Nick to come rushing in.
I could hear him struggling, as he tried to carry the jar of chocolate syrup, the whip cream and the cherries. He was in such a hurry to get to the room that he was tripping over himself. The next thing I saw was Nick standing in the doorway with his mouth wide open. His eyes lit up and he came running over to the bed.
"Oh my, Heather…don't you look just so yummy." he said with a very sexual undertone.
"Why, Nick, why would you say that? I haven't had the syrup and whip cream yet, so how would you know?" I said sweetly.
"Well, I was just thinking of what we could do with this stuff…I mean, I would love to share it with you…" he finished with a sly smile.
"Well, I kinda had something else in mind…" my voice wandered off…looking at him with a sexy grin.
"Anything you want my dear…anything you want." he said.
"Well good…cuz you know what I want?" I giggled.
"Me??" he asked.
"Well, umm, no, actually, I just wanted a chocolate sundae. Here ya go, here are two bowls, and the ice cream scoop. The ice cream can be found over there in the cooler I hid behind the chair." I said matter-of-factly.
His mouth just dropped and he looked confused.
"Oh, and Nick…I like a LOT of chocolate syrup!" I finished.
I just laughed as Nick made me the chocolate sundae and looked at me
with an evil grin. This was going to be one interesting night.
