It was a short drive from the bar to Natasha's apartment complex.They didn't talk much on the way but the atmosphere in the car was pleasant.
When they got there, Tasha showed the driver where to park her car.
She then turned to Tyler who was leaning against his car and said " Thank you for a wonderful evening." "You're welcome." Tyler smiled. "I'd invite you up for coffee but we just had coffee." Tasha said and laughter broke out between the two of them. " I don't mind drinking more coffee." Ty responded and added a huge grin. Being a lover of coffee Tasha didn't mind. "Well come on then." she said " Lead the way." he said as he followed her to the elevator at the end of the parking garage.
When the elevator got to the third floor they exited and walked to Tasha's apartment. "Hmm, not bad " Tyler commented looking around once they were inside. "I know it might not be as extravagant as yours but it's comfy." Tasha said "It's nice, I like it." said Ty with an approved look on his face. "Really?" asked Tasha "Yes really." answered Ty in a half laugh.
Tasha suddenly felt at ease and realized that she had been tense the whole time.
" Okay, sit anywhere you like, I'll go make the coffee." she said. "Do you mind if I have a look around?" asked Ty "No problem." Tasha said with a backward glance as she headed for the kitchen.
Ty walked around the living room and looked at the pictures and paintings that Natasha had hung and placed all around. All the paintings were beautiful and expensive but all the pictures were either of herself or that of a lady who seemed to be in her early forties.
Ty left the living room and went to the bathroom which was through Tasha's bedroom. He washed his hands and splashed water on his face. The cold water felt good. He left the bathroom and started looking around as he re-entered the bedroom.
It was a little smaller than the living room but had a queen sized bed that was almost filled with pillows, cushions and stuffed animals. "Where does she sleep?" he asked himself out loud while staring at the bed.
On the night stand he noticed another photograph.This one was of a man and a woman hugging each other and smiling.
As Ty sat on the bed and picked up the picture he saw the words "Mom and Dad" written on the back of the frame. He then realized that they must be Tasha's parents.
"There you are." He heard Tasha's voice and looked up to see her standing in the doorway. "Well you did say I could sit anywhere i liked." Ty said seeing that he was sitting on her bed. Tasha laughed and said "But that's a strange place to have coffee." "I'm a strange guy." Ty responded. "Meaning?" Tasha asked raising an eyebrow at him but Ty simply said "Meaning, I'd like to have my coffee here." Tasha looked at him hesitantly then said "Okay." and left the room.
She returned a few minutes later holding two steaming cups of coffee. She handed one of them to him saying "Be careful, it's really hot." She then carefully sat down beside him and they drank their coffee together in silence.
Halfway through his coffee Tyler asked "Do you have groupies?"
Natasha almost choked."Gr-grpupies?" she stuttered.
"Yes! Or males wanting autographs or anything else that you have to offer." Natasha was stunned. She definitely did not see this question coming.
"Well, there are people who do ask for autographs but not people's asking for anything else." she lied but Ty caught on quickly.
"Are you telling me that you've never had a crazy fan who snuck backstage wanting to be your main man or your personal slave?" Tyler asked bringing his face to mere inches away from hers.
Natasha couldn't breathe. She swallowed hard as she stared into his eyes.
She could feel his breath on her face but for some strange reason she couldn't look away. She snaked her tongue out to lick her now dry lips but when she did he swiftly captured it with his own mouth.
Even though he had been drinking coffee his mouth wasn't warm. It was cool and tantalizing.
Natasha was taken by yet another surprise but she didn't pull away.
The kiss was rapidly numbing her senses and making her light headed.
She was enjoying the new sensations that were brewing inside of her stomach.
When he tried to search her mouth with his tongue she let him in, allowing it to dance with hers to a music only they can hear.
The kiss went on for the better part of three minutes and left Natasha gasping for breath. "You didn't answer my question." Tyler said huskily as he placed his coffee cup on the night stand.
