I went over and told Deondrea everything would be alright. “Good, ya’ll had me worried.” I smiled, “It’s going to be okay now.” “See ya at work Monday?” “I’ll be there.” He started walking away and I remembered something. “Deondrea.” He turned around, “Hmm?” “Why were you here at this hotel?” “My friend was in town from Boston and I came to visit her. And when I saw Bruno like that I called you because I was confused. She’s actually gone but, I waited down here for you, just to make sure everything was alright.” he said walking back towards me. He just didn’t know, but he saved a life today. I hugged him, “Thanks so much. I can never repay you.” “Aww, it’s nothing.”

“You alright now?” Phil asked me patting my back. “Yeah I’m gonna be good.” I said looking over to Diamond. “I don’t know about you but, I’m hungry as hell!” I laughed for the first time in a long time, “I could always eat.” I actually was really hungry I hadn’t ate in over an day. Diamond walked back over and I put my arm around her, “You wanna go eat?” “That would be awesome.” We jumped in Diamond’s car and Phil followed behind us. I looked over to her, “Thanks… again..” I whispered. She smiled, “Out of love Bru.” We went to this fancy resturant and I made sure to get me a steak.  I was noticed by a couple of people, but things never got out of hand, luckily.

I didn’t know how I was going to deal with all this fame stuff. I kind of liked to keep to myself sometimes but, at the same time I wanted to live my dream. I still had time to figure all of that out, but for right now I was going to do what I needed to do to make everything right with Diamond. I begged Diamond to let me go the studio tomorrow, I had something really special I wanted to get done, but it had to be a surprise. I think this song that I wrote could be a part of my neverending thank yous to her.

We pulled up to the house and we walked up the pathway in each others arms. I really missed this. “This is def a movie night.” Bruno said taking off his hat and putting it on his hat rack. It felt good seeing him do that. “You gotta pick.” I said changing into something more comfortable. He went over to our huge stack of movies and looked threw them. I turned around to him holding Step Brothers. He loved comedies so much. I smiled, “I’ll pop the popcorn.” He scooped me up into his arms and put his head on mine. “This is my favorite place to be in the world.” I said breathing in his scent. I could feel him smiling.

I felt tears coming for some reason. Why did I need to cry anymore? I just felt something different between us, I couldn’t explain it but, it made me feel right. He heard me sniff and looked at me, “Babe, what’s wrong?” “Bruno I just.. I almost lost you today.” I said crying even harder. He held me tighter, “I’m sorry baby… I’m so so sorry.” I knew this would always be in the back of mind no matter how hard I pushed it. I couldn’t picture my life without him, and just to know that right at this moment I wouldn’t be in his arms broke my heart. “I swear I was saving this for a better time, but I need to do this now.” He grabbed my hand led me to a room in our house and we didn’t go in often. It was quiet and there we’re only a chair and a loveseat and a lone piano sitting in the corner.

He took me to the piano and sat down. He started playing four chords, I recognized them from a couple weeks ago, “I finally found the right song with the melody.” he said smiling to me. I smiled back at him, “Do it.” He started singing the most beautiful song I’ve heard in my entire life…

When I see your face, theres not a thing that I would change,

Cause’ your amazing, just the way you are..

And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for awhile..

Cause’ girl your amazing.. just the way you are..

 

 

Chapter 17

After he hit the last note I instantly hugged him. “Bruno.. you wrote that.. for me?” “Yes.” I leaned back out and looked deep into his eyes. “I have no word to describe you. You’re just…” He kissed me, “You don’t need to explain yourself.” “You should put that on your album..” “I wanted it to by my first single.” I nodded, “That would be beautiful.” He got up and we walked back to the room, “You kind of ruined my surprise, but I won’t be mad at you.” he smirked. “Aww, I’m sorry..” “Na, it’s alright.. I got more to pull from.” he said taking off his pants. “Oh really now?” “Yup!”

We both had completely forgot about the movie, but falling asleep in each others arms sounded a bit more entertaining. We both laid down and intertwined legs. I pulled curls in his hair, it was really started to get long. Of course he fell asleep before me, I watched him sleep for a little while before I soon followed right behind him.

I woke up before him and slowly pulled myself from underneath him. Haha, success! It was hard doing that sometimes. As soon as I stood up he moaned but I knew he was still sleeping. I got in the shower and put my hair up into a ponytail. I crept back in and grabbed a t-shirt and some sweatpants, I wasn’t planning on leaving the house today. I decided that today would be a good day to make some breakfast. I went in and took out some bacon, eggs, and the pancake mix. I starting dancing as I cooked, it seemed like I danced to the same song in my head.

I woke up and reached out for Diamond. She wasn’t there. Damn, how did she get out from underneath me. As I sat up on my elbows to look around I could smell breakfast. Damn, that smelled really good. If she didn’t know anything else about me, she knew that I loved me some bacon and eggs. I got up and went straight for the shower. It felt good taking one in my own bathroom again. That hotel shit was overrated.

I decided to wear a baseball cap instead of a fedora. It was a causal day. I threw on a plaid shirt and some jeans. I crept out into the living room and looked in the kitchen, she was at the stove. I got as close as I could to her and when she turned around she screamed. “Damnit Bruno!” she yelled. I hugged her and laughed. “Your always so jumpy!” “Not funny.” “You know what that was right?” I said sitting on a stool. “What?” “Payback!” I said pointing at her. She looked at me confused, “For what?” “You remember when you scared me in my dorm a long time ago. That day when we ya knowed.. for the first time.” I said winking. She threw a rag at me, “Stop it! You remember way to much, ya nasty!” I just laughed at her.

She continued cooking and I sat there with my hands under my chin, like I always did. She looked at me, “So, you have nothing else to do?” “Nope.” “You sure?” “Yup.” She giggled.

Since Bruno wanted to watch me. I decided to give him something to look at. I started doing unnessacary things like bending over slowly. “Is it hot in here or is it just me?” I said taking off my shirt. “Uhh..” he said watching me closely. Good, I wanted him to be speechless. I cooked in slow motion and made everything I do sexy. I felt him watching me, but I never looked over to him.

Why was she teasing me like this? I looked down, and of course I was hard. When I looked back up she was walking towards me. She turned me around in the stool. “Hmm.. what happened here?” She knew exactly what she was doing. So she wants to role play huh…

 

 

Chapter 18

This chapter is dirty, you have been warned. o.O But, enjoy!

I looked down at myself, “Damn you know.. I have no idea what happened..” She raised her eyebrow, “It looks like you have a problem..” “Maybe you should fix it..” I whispered. She grabbed me and full on kissed me until we we’re both out of breath. “Damn babe..” Without responding she grabbed me by the collar of my shirt and backed us up against the wall. She kissed me up my neck and when she got up to my ear she whispered, “Do me right Bru.” Chills went down my spine. I bit my lip, “I got you.” I took off my hat and threw it across the room.

We both pulled off each others pants and before I could do anything she dropped down to her knees. I loved when she was agressive, it took me awhile to get her out of that shy stage. She pulled my boxers down and rubbed me. I was really excited for some reason, “Get on with it.” She took me in her mouth inch by inch. I closed my eyes and breathed hard. She had gotten way better throughout the years, I didn’t ever have to ask anymore.

I got faster and faster and looked up at his face. He was so into it, his sex face turned me on ever more. He stopped me and I stood up. “Turn around.” he whispered. I did as I was told. He pulled my underwear down and bent me over the bar. I didn’t think it was good for us to have sex in the kitchen, but at the same time I didn’t give two fucks. Before I could think about anything else, he was inside me. I lightly moaned and he grabbed my hips. He started slow and our bodies grinded against each other. I looked back at him and he was watching him self, such a boy. I put my head down and closed my eyes and just let myself go.

Before I knew it, he sped up. I grabbed the counter and moaned each time he hit me. The sounds of our bodies and moans filled the house. We hadn’t been this loud in awhile, but I liked it. When I got the chance I looked back at him. He smirked and raised an eyebrow, “Almost there aren’t you?” All I could do was nod. I grabbed the counter tighter and he thursted harder and harder. His moans made me finally get there. It didn’t take him long after me to be finished either.

We laid there for a minute trying to catch air. “Your going to be the death of me.” I said. He laughed, as he slid his boxers back on. I shook my head, “No more sex in the kitchen okay?” “Why not?” “Cause.. I cook in here..” He came closer to me and put on his seducing face, “If this is where I get you, then it’s gonna happen… right here..” I melted and nodded, it was all I could do. I went in the bathroom and cleaned myself up. I was def hungry now, a nice nap later would do me well too.

I walked back into the living room to see Bruno standing there with a angry look on his face. “What’s wrong?” I said frowning. He pointed to the TV.

*Singer and songwriter Bruno Mars spotted buying beer and smoking throughout L.A. this weekend*

I looked back at him, he hated the media so much….

 

 

Chapter 19

I put my hand on his shoulder, “It’s okay babe..” He shook his head, “Na it’s not, they’re always trying to find a way to fuck up my image.” I could tell he was going to get himself all worked up. “Don’t let that get you upset, just let it go.” He took a deep breath. “Good..” I whispered. I walked into the kitchen, “Come on and eat.” He walked in and I had just realized that he only still had on his boxers. “Are you going to put your clothes back on?” I asked making our plates. “Probably not.” I looked at him, “And why is that?” “Cause I might need to stay like this.” he smirked. I rolled my eyes, “Right…”

We spent the next hour eating and watching random shows on TV. We hadn’t got a chance to sit down with each and other and just cuddle for awhile. Evetually I fell asleep to his heartbeat.

I had never realized she fell asleep. I looked down at her and rubbed her hair. I had wore her out, I thought that was so cute. I leaned my head back and soon I was sleep too.

I woke up to my phone ringing in the other room. “Damn..” I moaned. “Don’t get up..” Diamond said. “It might be important..” I said helping her sit up. I stumbled into the bedroom still damn near sleep. It stopped ringing as soon as I picked it up. It was Karmen, I swallowed hard. “Who was it babe?” Diamond asked. Should I lie? I’m trying to change. I froze, I didn’t know what to say. “Bruno…” I walked back out to the living room and handed her my phone. She frowned at me, “Call her back right here.” “No please don’t make me do that.” I begged. “Do it.” I dialed her back. “Yeah.. I was sleeping.” I said looking at Diamond. It was so awkward right now. “No.. she is here. Listen I think it would be best if we just kept it stricty business now.” I felt like I was digging myself back into another hole. “No, it’s not like that. I just..” she hung up on me.

“You did the right thing Bru. You don’t need er..” she said rubbing my thigh. “I know.” It felt good to do that, day by day I was going to get better. But, now I had to deal with seeing her in person because I knew it was going to happen.

I got up and went to find my phone, I knew someone had probably tried to call me too. I found it in the bedroom on my nightstand, 4:47 P.M. Wow, we actually slept for a long time. I had a missed call from Michelle. At least she loves me, I dialed her back. “Sorry about that, I was sleeping.” She asked me if I wanted to go out with the girls tonight for drinks just to get some stress off. That actually sounded nice because tomorrow was my last day off for a week. “Sounds great, I’ll meet you at your house at 9.”

I walked back into the living room and he had his ukelele, but still no damn clothes on. He smiled at me, “Going out tonight?” “Your so nosey!” I said throwing a pillow at him. He put on a fake serious face, “You do not want to start a pillow fight..” I cleared my throat and looked away. He threw it back at me, and it almost damn near knocked me over. He started laughing really hard so I ran over and jumped on him. “Hey hey watch the ukelele please!” I took it from him and sat it on the other couch. “Now you have no excuses!” I said going in to tickle him. His laughter warmed my heart, no matter how old we we’re we still played around like little kids. These we’re the moments that I cherished.

After 10 minutes of wrestling and basically torturing each other he called it quits. “3 points for Diamond, 1 for Bruno!” I laughed. “It’s cool, I’ll get you back.” he said going in the bathroom. I sat there and ran my fingers across the line on the pillow. I looked up to see his phone sitting on the table. He rarely ever left his phone around me. For some reason I wanted to look threw it. But, that would be wrong. What if I found something that I didn’t like, that means another argument and more heartbreak for me….

 

 

Chapter 20

I grabbed it and went threw his messages. Most we’re from Phil, and Ari and some from Karmen of course. Then I came across one from Nicole. My heart sank a little, I read it. *Hey Bru.. just wanted to see how you we’re doing. I had a great time the other night, maybe we could do it again sometime.. text me* I heard the water come on in the bathroom so I closed it out locked his phone and put it back on the table. That’s what I get, I knew I would find something. I did notice that he never texted back.

He came over to me and kissed me, “Soooo.. since you’re going out, can I go to the studio?” I stood up, “Yeah sure Bru.” I walked past him. “What’s wrong?” he said. “Nothing.. stomach just got a little upset..” I said walking into the bathroom. I used the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. Keep it together Diamond, he’s going to change now that message was old, I think? I washed my face and walked back out. I saw him laying in the bed. “What are you doing?” “Laying down?” he said patting the space next to him. “We just woke up..” “I know, but I need to talk to you..” My first thought was, he knows. But, how could he.

I went and laid next to him, “What’s up babe?” “Well you know Mother’s Day is coming up and I was thinking maybe we’d do something special.” I smiled, “What you got in mind?” I said scooting closer to him. “We could take your mom out to eat you know, and get her something nice. Something she’s been wanting for awhile..” “That sounds really good, she would appreciate that. But, I have to ask my dad what she’s been wanting, because I kind of don’t know..” He nodded, “Yup.” How could I be mad him now? He was so thoughtful and sweet, it warmed my heart. I pushed the whole situation to the back of my mind. I kissed him, “So, what time you leaving?” He sat up and looked over me at the album clock. “It’s 6:30 now and you’re not leaving till’ 9 so I’ll stay here with you.” “Deal.” I said touching his nose.

I really wanted Phil and Ari to hear Just The Way You Are. I think it has potiental to be something big. If so I wanted it to have a video, it would be my first video by myself. I smiled to myself at this thought. We laid there for the next hour, talking about music, love, and traveling. Those 3 things mean’t  a lot to me, I couldn’t wait to travel the world sharing my love through music, that all goes together doesn’t it? It felt good to hear her just talk, and hear her opinions on different things. We always had talks like this, but this one was different.

She went to take a shower and I took that time to write. Our conversatinos reminded me of my high school years. I had lyrics wrote down from way back then that I never threw away. I added more to them while I waited on her.

My phone started ringing, Phil. “What’s up? At home, why? What?!” I looked to see if the bathroom door was open and I started whispering, “Why is she there? Tell her to leave. Why not? Fuck, look I’ll be there soon.” I hung up right as she came out the bathroom. She frowned, “What’s wrong Bru?” “Nothing, lyrics I’m writing are just deep.” I lied. Damn, the lying when does it stop? “Don’t get yourself all upset now..” she said getting dressed. I was trying to my best not too, but the more I thought about it, the angrier I got. Every time I want someone out of my life, they choose to stay anyway…
