"I had to see you again, I've been thinking about you like crazy."
"I think I am in love with you."
"You can't love me you don't even know me."
She removed her head laughing and he screamed and jumped up, he finally was woke for real. He got up and got out the bed and walked around and to the bathroom to splash cold water over his face he looked up at the mirror at himself, he felt he was going crazy he just could not get her off his mind.
AJ and Claudia had just gotton back that night from clubbing all night now being early morning and they were making out in his car she was sitting on him on the driver side and she pulled away looking in his eyes he asked her "Please come over tonight please."
"I can't I promised." they started back kissing and she pushed him away "I promised my mother that I'd come home tonight, I promised."
"But I need you Claudia, it's late it won't hurt if you came over to my place."
"Why do you want me to come over so that you can be with me or just for sex?"
"Just for sex." She hit him and climbed out the car and he climbed out and grabbed her arm to turn her to face him he was laughing but she wasn't "I was joking I promise."
"You joke too much. I love you ." He rolled his eyes not wanting to hear her speech "But I don't feel our relationship.......we're not going anywhere."
"Why are you bringing this up right now?"
"Cause we need to talk about it."
"Okay we can get back in the car and talk."
Her getting frustrated yelled "No!"
"What the hell do you want from me Claudia."
"A commitment, a real one."
"What? you want me to marry you."
"I didn't mean that but...where is this thing going?"
"We are together, we love each other."
"I know that but-" She released a huge sigh as it started to rain out lightly but she wasn't worried about the rain as she finished "I want to be with you forever but I don't see that happening with you having millions of girls calling you and coming over to your place and some even while I am there."
"Claudia"
"You always just say my name when you're tired of talking to me and you know what I am sick of talking to you too cause you don't take me seriously, you think I'm a big joke."
"You want to talk we are talking and basically you are saying that you are jealous cause I have female friends is that it."
Her really hating when he said that "End of conversation, goodnight."
She turned to walk off and he grabbed her arm and turned her once again to face him "Look, I am sorry about that."
"You're always sorry."
She walked off and he followed her and they both stood quiet on her pouch and he said "So you're upset with me."
She pulled out her keys unlocking the door and she stepped inside not yet closing the door and since he hadn't left yet she waited for him to say something finally he did "Can I have a kiss goodnight?" and she did quickly "I love you"
"I love you too."
She closed the door and he thought about what they had just argued about and he went back to his car and left.
**********
Days later they found themselves sitting around the long brown table waiting for their lawyer. Everyone was pretty quiet then she came in dressed in a sleeveless white button down shirt and a short black skirt and heels, her hair pulled back and she sat at the top of the table with Kevin on her left growing nervous and she spoke "So how have you guys been." They all said good "Well our plan worked, I got you guys a great contract this time, your record company approved of it so now all they need is for you guys to read and sign and you better I had to retype these things myself." She handed them back to him one by one and she stood up "Now I am going to sum this whole thing up for you all so get ready for a speech."
It took her a while to explain everything on each page after she was done she asked "You guys can sign but if you have any more questions and doubts and second thoughts please ask me now and if you come up with any later on you can call me but do you have any now."
No one said anything else and she sat back in her seat and he leaned over and asked "Are you leaving yet?"
"Not yet."
All was heard was flipping of the pages and signing when they were done they handed them to her and began to leave saying their goodbye's and thank you's they all left except Kevin watching her sign their contracts also when he decided to break the silence "So hey'
She replied not looking up "Hello"
"How have you been?"
"Good"
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure"
She still didn't look up still signing as he thought she would so decided to ask his question "You told me you didn't have a husband but are you like involved with someone?"
She looked up when she was done which was about a good 30 seconds later and she said "Why?"
"Cause I want to know."
"Nope"
She gathered all the papers and her bags and stood up so did he and she went out the dor and came right back in to see him holding her suitcase as he said "3 times, 3 times a charm."
"Okay great, Can I get it back?"
"Not this time, you meet me at....No, where do you want to go out too?"
"Don't play games with me Mr.Richardson there are very important documents in there."
"They must not be too important you leave this thing everywhere."
She sat all her things down and walked over to where he was sitting and she stood over him "Give it back please."
He stood up to look down at her as he said "Meet me at.....let me think."
She reached for her suitcase millions of times he always seemed to be a step ahead of her and she was getting pissed as she said angrily "Why are you doing this?"
"Meet me at the same place you shot me that beautiful smile and sped off."
"Keep the damn suitcase, I'm not meeting you anywhere."
She picked her bags up off the floor and opened the door about to walk out when he said "Why won't you go out with me once?"
"You really want to know." She walked over and stood looking up at him "Because you are an asshole, a jerk shall I go on."
"Meet me at the pool hall the one right down the street."
"Wait on it"
"8:00pm and don't be late"
He walked pass her to the door and she started laughing "Nice joke Ha! Ha! funny now give it back"
"Do me a favor wear something that shows off your body a little okay."
He ran his fingers across her cheek and she hit his hand away and he laughed and walked out the door and she was so mad as she gathered her bags and in the inside she was a little happy about it and he just relieved he'd had the guts to do that.
