Just The Three Of Us

Down Under

Rory Pov

I had barely been here a day and I was already homesick. I wanted to go back home and forgive Maggie. She was my best friend and I needed her now more than ever. I know I was mad at everyone but I was sadder than anything. I wanted a hug from her and Shay. I tried to put it in the back of my head and focus on work but it was so hard to do so. I came to the secluded beach ready to take some pictures. The outfits for the shoot, of course, were not the most coverage but they were cute. I was three outfits in when I started to get this terrible feeling in my stomach. I never got nervous during a shoot but I was so having butterflies swarm my insides, right now. I looked up and saw my photographer talking to a woman and then suddenly she gestured for someone to walk over. I looked around and noticed the cuff links first.

"NO, NO, NO!" I shouted to myself. He looked directly at me and saw me fidgeting where I stood. He slowly grinned and I knew I was in trouble. My photographer soon came over and began to ask me to change pose. I couldn't help but glance back at Deckard and he was staring more intently as more people came over to touch and turn me. I took a deep breath and did my job. It was soon over and I walked back to my trailer to get dressed. I was surprised Deckard didn't storm in here and come grab me or scold me even. I got dressed quickly and walked out. He was standing by his car at the end of the beach by the roadside. There was no way I was going to get passed him so I just walked up to him.

"Get in the car," his tone wasn't harsh but it wasn't light or calmly like it had been when he warmed up to me. I slowly walked to the car and he let me in. He drove in silence and it was awkward, to say the least. When we finally stopped at a fancy hotel, he led me out and guided me to the elevator. Of course, we hit the top floor and as soon as we got out I saw a beautiful suite with an impeccable view. He took off his jacket and placed it over a chair. He slowly turned around and leaned against the couch.

"Do you want some ice cream?" he said. I looked at him with a puzzled expression on my face.

"Do I want some ice cream," I repeated.

"Yes, I mean I know you do but I thought I'd ask first," he walked over to the kitchen and grabbed a chocolate-covered ice cream. He took off the wrapper and handed it to me.

"Do you just want to watch me lick it," I said slyly.

"No, well now that you mention it," he smiled. He began to look nervous. "Aurora, I want to tell you that I have not been with another woman since I met you." He started pacing around the room.

"I only want you, I took my cousin to that event because she wanted to network and talk to me about her business ventures. I wanted to help her out and give her some advice. I would have told you but,-" He stopped pacing and came closer to me. I might have looked a bit ridiculous and childish licking this icecream as he talked. "I am in love with you and I will never let you go. You have no idea how you have embedded yourself in my heart and trapped me in this emotional bubble I don't want to break out of. I want you. I want all of you and I will never hurt or disrespect you."

"Deckard," before I could get his name out completely he crashed his lips on mine. "You were my first."

"And I'm going to be your last."

"I think I knew you wouldn't do something like that to me after spending so much time with you but I was scared because I thought I knew someone in the past. I wanted to believe no man would ever be truly honest and kind as you have been. My heart wouldn't let me doubt you but I got scared either way." Deckard lifted me up and took me to the bedroom.

"I love you," Deckard grinned and began to ravish me with kisses. He held my hands above my head and kissed every inch of my skin. He slowly slid himself inside me and made love to me over and over again.

"You are going to scream my name all night," Deckard smiled. He was so enthralled in this moment. I missed him so much even though we haven't been apart that long.

I woke up to the smell of food. He had a spread laid out on the table on the balcony.

"Good morning," Deckard smiled.

"Hey, so now what," I didn't mean to sound so blunt but I was wondering what this meant for us now.

"Move in with me," he said boldly.

"What?"

"Move in with me," he repeated. "I want you to always wake up by my side and share these little moments with you."

"But-," I paused. I didn't want to say no but if I said yes then it meant I wouldn't live with Maggie anymore.

"Think about it, I know it's a big step but I want you by my side, I told you, I won't let you go," he took my hand and kissed the top of it. I sat down on his lap and we had breakfast together. We stayed for another two days but then went back home. The first thing I did was talk to Maggie about everything except about Deckard's offer. I would eventually have to tell her about it and decide if I would go through with it or not.
