The water from the shower feels awesome on my face. While I shower I'm trying to sort out what happened last night. Great date! Amazing kisses! He got turned on, I got turned on. But is what we feel enough to build something on, or will we just end up like friends? Or more likely friends with benefits, considering we can't seem to keep our hands off of each other…

Is that what I want? I don't know… But if we keep having an amazing time together, I can totally see myself falling head over heels for Patrick… If I haven't already…

After a while I turn the shower off. I'm going to explore Chicago for a bit today. It's a beautiful city! I wrap a towel around me, and turn on VH1 for some background tunes as I start to get ready for my day as a tourist.

I pick up my cell to look at the time. I see that I've got a new text while I was in the shower:

"Good morning, Beautiful! I hope you slept well. I wanted to thank you again for last night, I had an awesome time. See you at 7, can't wait. Kisses, Patrick"

Awwww, to start a day like this can only make it awesome! He's just unbelievingly sweet. Damn! He's making it really hard for me to not fall for him.

I write back:

"Good morning to you too, Handsome! I slept extremely well, thank you. I hope you did too. Last night was incredible. Thank you for taking me out! I'm about to go explore your city, and I'm looking forward to tonight very much. Have a great day, I'll see you later! XO"

I get dressed, dry my hair, put on a little make-up, and just as I close the door behind me my phone beeps from another text. I read it while I walk to the elevator. Patrick writes that he also slept well, and gives me a few ideas about places to check out today. I send thanks back and suggest we save some for us to do together. I take the first step out on the sidewalk outside of my hotel as I get a third text from Patrick:

"Of course we're going to my favorite places together, don't fret. I haven't told you about all of them, haha. We have plenty more dates in our foreseeable future. Have an awesome day, Gorgeous!"

And thus, it begin… I feel the familiar swoop in my stomach, heart pounding extra hard, redness in my cheeks… I'm falling and I'm falling hard! How could I not fall for Patrick? The guy is basically perfect!

-----------------------------------

Several hours later I'm sitting across from Patrick in one of his favorite restaurants, The Himalayan. It's apparent that Patrick is a regular here, he interacts with the staff like they're his friends. The sweetheart even introduces me.

When Patrick picked me up earlier tonight he just smiled, said hi and wrapped his arms around my waist. He pulled me tight against him and started to kiss me. He tasted fresh, like toothpaste. Mmmm, he was an excellent kisser. I loved his lips and the way he sort of tasted me; he sucked a little on my bottom lip; he ran his tongue over my top lip. We backed into my room a bit and Patrick used his foot to slam the door shut behind us, all the while not letting go of my lips for a second.

All of a sudden I was on my back on the bed with Patrick on top of me. He was running his hands through my hair, kissing my neck and I was letting out an unwilling moan. Patrick's hands were stroking over my breasts while he was looking down at my body, and I was grabbing a firm hold of his amazing ass and pressing him against me. He started to move his hips a bit and returned his mouth to mine. I had slowly run one of my hands seductively along his back and up to his hair. There I had intwined it and pulled a little, while I kissed him even more hungrily. For that I had got a deep throat moan in return, and he pressed his crotch and raging hard on even more against me. He was so fucking sexy! I was really horny by then.

And then the mood had been crushed by a low rumble from my stomach. Patrick had immediately started to laugh, and I was feeling my cheeks go even more pink than the hot make out session had made them.

"Sorry…" I smiled embarrassed.

"Nah, it's okay," Patrick had raised himself up on his elbows, "I'm hungry too, it's just I can't help myself you know, when I see you… I could do this all night!" he smirked.

I laughed a bit.

"Yeah, I know, this is awesome…" and that got punctuated by another rumble, "but a girl's gotta eat!"

Patrick laughed, got off the bed and helped me up.

"Ah shit, I messed up your hair, I'm sorry," he said.

"What? Oh, don't worry about it, just give me a minute," and I walked into the bathroom to fix it and my lip-gloss that was totally "eaten" up.

When I got out from the bathroom there was a giant basket of goodies on the desk.

"Where did that come from?" I pointed to the basket.

Patrick just gave me a mischievous grin.

"From me, I had left it out in the corridor."

The basket was full of stuff like candy, gum, snacks and "pop". That was really thoughtful! Great to have if you're stuck in a hotel room when you're wanting something to snack on.

I put my arms around his neck, and gave him a kiss on the tip of his nose.

"Thank you! You're pretty awesome, you know that right?" I smiled from ear to ear.

He just looked a little bashful down at his shoes.

And by then I noticed how he was dressed. It was a little more casual than last night: black jeans, dark gray button down shirt with rolled up sleeves and a black bow tie. And his hair had been perfectly tousled by my hands.

Patrick checked his reflection in the mirror above the desk with his eyebrows raised and he let them down immediately. He grinned, and looked back at me.

"Thanks! My hair looks great!"

I smiled back.

"I just thought the same."

"Shall we be going then?" he asked.

I grabbed my purse from the desk.

"Sure!"

-----------------------------------

So the dinner is of course awesome. When we walk out of the restaurant Patrick wraps his left arm around my shoulders, pulls me a little to him and kisses me on the side of my head.

"What do you wanna do now?" Patrick looks across me at the watch on the wrist he has on my shoulder. "It's still pretty early… Wanna catch a movie or something?"

"Sounds good," I smile, kiss him and put my right arm around his slim waist.

"Okay then, let's go. There's a movie theater just a couple of blocks from here, and we can come back for the car later. You mind walking?" he asks.

"Of course not, just not too fast 'cause I'm really full." I grin as I put my left hand on my stomach.

Patrick smiles.

"Well, then we can agree on that. Slow walk it is…"

We walk slowly towards the movie theatre, arms around each other. I feel so safe and comfortable. I love to just be with Patrick and talk about whatever crap comes up.

Like we can talk about anything. Like friends, like lovers, like…boyfriend and girlfriend. Shit! In that second it hits me like a fucking ton of bricks, the thought I've been too afraid to think. I want to be his girlfriend… I'm in love with Patrick!

Patrick is oblivious to my inner turmoil, and keeps talking about the latest movies he's seen. My stomach just clenches, and I get totally aware that I don't know if he feels the same way as I do.

Yeah, okay, I'm not going to play the sucky self-confidence card. I know he likes me, I know he's missed me, I know he thinks I'm gorgeous and I know he wants to have sex with me. But that is not the same thing as having a real relationship with me. Patrick's just broken up with a long-term girlfriend. He probably doesn't want to jump straight into a new relationship.

But hey, what about me? I also just got out of a serious relationship. Well I really have no rush, but at least now I have admitted to myself that it's a relationship I want from this with me and Patrick. But there is no rush getting there, I love casually dating him. Just really wish I knew if Patrick was on the same page.

During my inner monologue we've arrived at the movie theatre. Patrick takes my hand and we go inside. We look at the play list and agree on a movie that has gotten pretty good reviews and starts in 18 minutes.

I excuse myself to go and use the restroom. When I get back out I don't see Patrick at first. Then I realize it's because he's surrounded by like five girls, in the middle of signing popcorn boxes, arms and old crumpled up receipts. I can't decide if I'm going to hang back until he's done or not.

But then Patrick looks up and sees me. He smiles a little like he's a bit embarrassed. Oh, might as well go over there. If I'm going to be with him I have to get used to fans.

As I walk up he smiles at me and a couple of the girls turns to look at me, but turns back to Patrick like I'm just another fan coming to ask for an autograph. Patrick reaches out his hand to me when I'm closing in.

"Now ladies, please excuse me. My date is here."

I take his outstretched hand and the girls just stare at me, some of them actually has their mouths stupidly open. Patrick couldn't care less, he just smiles at me adoringly, like I'm the only one there.

"You ready, Sweetie?" he asks.

Oh, snap! I almost burst out laughing because the girls seem ready to jump me. I actually see in the corner of my eye that one of the girls sort of grabs one of the others, as if to stop her from attacking.

"Sure, Honey," I smile at Patrick hugely.

We walk away hand in hand over to the snacks. I hear the girls starting to talk, they sound really angry and upset. But I'm totally awful and I just feel smug. I couldn't care less that Patrick is famous, but he's such an awesome guy that it would be weird if girls wasn't jealous of his date. I would be! He's the perfect man!

"I'm sorry about that. I usually excuse myself from stuff like that when I'm out socially, but since you were in the restroom…" he ends, looking apologetically at me.

"It's fine, Patrick. I used to be a fan too, remember?" I say with a grin.

"Yeah… I forgot…" he smiles.

"I'm just surprised they didn't jump me, some of them looked ready to kill!" I smirk.

"Huh?" Patrick looks lost in thought. "Oh, yeah sometimes it can get a bit ugly. Best thing is to not engage them. Ignore it," he says promptly, still looking a bit confused.

I wonder what's up with him. Didn't he like the way I reacted to the fans? We buy a small popcorn to share, since we're still almost full, and two small sodas. Patrick has bought tickets while I was in the restroom so we go and take our seats waiting for the commercials to start. I see a couple of people point at Patrick and whisper, but he doesn't seem to notice. Well the dude's been famous for so many years, it's just his everyday now.

However, being on a date with a new girl is not everyday, because all of a sudden Patrick is a bit awkward and fidgety. He keeps running his hand through his hair. I don't get it, he was fine before. But then we were more alone I guess. Now there are other people around. He couldn't be ashamed of me? Nah, he's definitely not like that.

Well now the commercials start. I'll see if he's still weird after the movie, then I'll ask him about it.
