Chapter 7 – LanceIf I brush my fingers over my lips, I can still feel Millie’s lips there, I can still sense how incredible it was to have her body rolling against mine, to know that she wanted me just as much as I did her. If I close my eyes, I am back at the end of last night, outside of Millie’s home, holding her in my arms and kissing her with all of the pent-up passion that I have been compelled to keep locked away inside for months on end. Ever since I first laid eyes on her which was well over a year ago now.

God, kissing Millie was something else. I haven’t ever felt like that when kissing someone before. It really was just as intense as I imagined, just as sensual and exciting, maybe even more so than I fantasized. I could have spent the entire night kissing her, I didn’t want to go home, but a point came where we had to pull apart and I needed to allow Millie to go inside. But she watched me and walked backwards in to the building which I’m sure is a wonderful sign, and I even caught her peeping out the window at me as I walked away.

She is falling for me, finally letting her emotions out, and it feels incredible. Knowing that after all of this time, Millie has finally let me in just like I knew she would and we’re on the right path I just know it. The kiss was the first step, the date will come next, and then it will be a happy ever after. I can’t wait.

Tonight… tonight I will get the date with her, I’m sure of it. Tonight, I will ask her out and I’m pretty sure that this time around she will say yes. She will agree and everything will be perfect. Then I can show her who I really am, and I can let her see that while me and her are different, we can make it work. I really believe that me and her can go the distance and I’m excited for that to start. Right now.

“Lance, where are you?” Michael yells at me, shaking me from my thoughts. “We need to film.”

Oh God, he’s right. I need to get my head back in the game, don’t I? I need to stop day dreaming about Millie and become Jayden for a little while longer. We have a few more shots to get done before I’m free once more. So, as soon as Ashley is on set, I leap up and follow her to get this done. Even as she makes another sarcastic comment at me about me and her being together, I just let it roll off my shoulders today. I’m not bothered.

It’s amazing what a kiss with Millie Jones can do. It can make me tolerate everything. Even Ashley. Even Michael and his orders that sometimes seem irrational. It’s all okay because of Millie...

I’m on cloud nine as I wander in to The Scarlet Lounge. I’m so thrilled to see Millie once more, and the second that my eyes connect with hers, my heart absolutely stops beating. Is it just me or does she look even more beautiful than normal? Has she made an extra effort for me or is it just because I know how wonderful it feels to kiss her? Either way my smile stretches from ear to ear because I’m so excited to see her.

“Hello there.” Immediately there is a brand-new air between us as I walk towards her. Thankfully, it doesn’t seem to be regret on her end because I was a little worried that would be an issue today. “How are you?”

My usual drink is in front of me before I even sit down and Millie leans on her elbow to smile at me. Her beautiful lips look so kissable it takes every scrap of will power inside of me not to lean over and claim her as my own right now. I do find my tongue dragging along my bottom lip in anticipation though.

“I’m good, thank you.” She winks at me, making my stomach flip flop. “How are you?”

“It’s been a long day but I’m glad to be here. It’s really good to see you, as always.”

Something crosses her face and I think it might be joy. Thank goodness. I have wanted her to be happy with me ever since I first started talking her. Now I seem to be on the way to achieving that.

“So, Millie…” I lean in a little close to her and much to my surprise she does the same thing. Usually she remains where she is, but I suppose she’s more used to me now and she wants to be close to me all the time. “I’m thinking that I might ask you my question early today, since I’m hoping the answer will be different this time.”
