Putting her bikini on, he walked over to her, pressing her to him and taking her in his arms. “your beautiful, sexy, funny, smart, I could go on forever.” he told her. “tonight we will have dinner on the patio. Do some dancing and light a fire.” he continued. Sounded perfect to her. She went along with sunbathing and napping, but she didn’t like the idea of being on a separate lounge chair than his. Harley was very surprised when they went on the patio and saw a double lounge chair. They would be side by side.
Richie layed on his stomach and Harley followed along. They’re feet intertwined. Harley sat up to put oil on his back and legs. “Had we not just had sex, I’d take you right here” he said to her. She smiled and handed him the bottle, “do me!” she said with a giggle. “Oh, happily, darlin’” Richie being the perfectionist got every part of her body. Laying back on his stomach when done. They faced each other. Harley said “I could fall so madly in love with you!” He lifted his head and kissed her lips, sweetly, softly and said “I believe I already have, darlin”, he kissed her again. Not giving her a chance to speak more. “Now rest your tired eyes a bit. I set the timer. We won’t burn.” Sleep happened almost within seconds.
The alarm rang, waking them both. “time to flip” he told her. He sprayed the oil on himself. Richie went to hand it to her but she was already asleep. He sprayed her with the oil and began rubbing it over her chest, then her firm stomach. Slowly working his way to her legs, she moaned. His hands felt so good on her body. He smiled, knowing that even as she slept, she felt him. Half hour later the alarm sounded again. This time Harley didn’t wake up. She was out cold. Richie didn’t want to disturb her, so he put the awning out, so she wouldn’t burn. Taking a towel and wiping off as much oil as he could, he turned and jumped in the pool. After about 5 laps, he got out. Towel dried himself, wishing she was awake to do it for him. Wrapping the towel around his waist, looking at her. Studying her body, face, her breathing. He couldn’t help but reflect on the mornings events. Jesus! He thought to himself. He knew he nearly lost her right then and there. He couldn’t allow anything like that to happen again.
Richie went inside to grab a shower and began planning his evening with Harley. Figuring it could go two ways. He could take her out, in public, risking being seen or plan something private at home with just the two of them, which is what he told her the plan was. Thinking about it, he looked outside at her laying on her side, resting so peacefully. He decided to just stay in. After Denise’s fiasco, he felt she had been through enough. Having the tabloids and paparazzi flashing pics at them would make them high profile news. He didn’t want her to go through all that, just yet. Richie called his favorite sushi place and asked them to bring a dinner for two by 8pm.
Richie figured now would be the perfect time to check in with Ava. Not sure he would think of it later. Harley opened her eyes, took in a deep breathe, wondering how long she had been sleeping. Noticing Richie wasn’t there. She sat up and he saw her. He let Ava go and walked out to her. “Have a good rest, baby?” he asked as he planted a kiss on her lips. “I did! How long was I sleeping?”. Looking at his watch, “couple hours”
“I’m so sorry! What have you been doing?” she asked him. “Well, I took a dip after the alarm went off. Then took a shower, and planned our evening”. She smiled “Busy boy! So what exactly do you have planned for tonight?” she asked with great anticipation. Richie licked his lips and bit his lower lip. “I made reservations at the hottest restaurant in LA! Dinner, dancing, and tons of celebrities there. Which means there’s always paparazzi outside waiting, but I’m sure your cool with that, right darlin'?” he was getting great pleasure watching her face. Harley was trying to be cool but her face looked like she’d seen a ghost. She swallowed very hard, “Sounds great, but what happened to our night with a fire and dinner and dancing here?”. Richie placed his finger under her chin, nudging her to look up at him. “I have sushi being delivered here at 8. I wouldn’t do that to you on our first real date.” he confessed. Harley slugged him in the arm. “would you have gone, if it were true?” he asked her. She nodded her head, “Yeah, if that’s what you wanted.” she answered. “But you are private and don’t like too much public spotlight. So why would you do that?”
“Richie, because it shouldn’t always be what I want. It’s what “WE” want. If that’s what makes you happy, I’d do it. But, in return I’d also expect nice quiet nights at home.” she explained. “You would come out publicly about our seeing each other?” he asked. “I would be very proud to tell anyone that I’m dating you, baby!” she said leaning in to kiss his lips.
They are a sweet couple.
