I watched the landscape while we were driving. We were both silent due to the awkward conversation we’ve had minutes before. I knew hour drive was going to take a bit long as the aerodrome was far from the city. I was looking out at the window when I felt his hand on my leg. His gesture was one of a fearful person. I wondered for seconds while I looked down at his hand why he was so afraid to touch me. Was I that scary? I looked up at him and smiled. James returned me a tender smile, tender than usual, maybe it was the fact that we were so far away from the group. I had just arrived to our destination and my heart kept telling me that I had made the right choice to jump on that adventure with him.

“I am going to leave you at the hotel so you can rest and then I’m gonna go look at the houses the real estate has arranged me. Later I’ll pick you up for dinner.” He spoke.

“What? You brought me here to leave me alone in the hotel?” I complained, but I tried to use a tone that didn’t sound as a complaint. I didn’t want to give much of my thoughts away.

“I thought you wanted to rest Ade but if you want to come with me I’ll be happy.” He smiled at me. James smile showed how much he was reading into my words. I was transparent to him. He could read my thoughts in seconds.

“I think I can look through the houses with you, if you want it of course.” I said

“I just thought it would be boring for you that’s all.” He said trying to defend his cause.

“It’s not.” I assured him.

“Then it’s even better.” Ha said with a delightful grin. Suddenly I felt my cell vibrating on my purse, it was Katy.

“Hi sweetie.” I answered the call visibly happy, after all I was going to spend my whole free time with James. That was the cause of my happiness. “What?” I said seriously as Katy spoke a mile per second telling me she was in the venue and none of the sound system was working. “How come is not working?” I asked her. I saw James tapping my shoulder and rolling me his eyes.

“I don’t know Ade, everything is plugged in and no sound comes out of it.” Katy told me on the other side.

“Are you sure everything is plugged in? Is there any electricity at all?” I joked.

“Don’t joke Ade, this is rather serious. You should be here damn it, I don’t know what else to do. We tried everything.” I sighed hearing her desperation. James rolled his eyes at me again, then he just grabbed my cell and put it on his ear.

“Katy?” He called her. “Look, Ade is off duty until tomorrow, so please let’s leave it that way.” He said not giving her time to say anything as he hung up the next second. Then he just turned my cell off. I opened my mouth to argue but he motioned a hand to shut me up. “Lesson number one, you’re off duty, it is a day off, so no work at all.” He told me.

“Are you out of your mind? The sound at the venue is not working, that’s a serious thing!” I argued.

“Yes it is. Tomorrow you’ll be there and you’ll check it. Today you’re here with me. I didn’t bring you with me so you could spend your time on the phone talking about work, even if that work concerns mine. I brought you with me, to San Francisco, away from everything and everyone so it could be just us, the two of us. No work at all. Got me?” James looked like he was talking to a small child. It almost made me laugh apart from the fact that his sort of arrogance got a bit on my nerves. I stretched him my hand.

“Give me my cell now.” I ordered. He shook his head. “James…” I said in a menacing tone. He smiled at stretched his arm up so I couldn’t reach for my cell.

“No.” He said.

“Look, I got your point ok, but you can’t just take the cell away from me, other than work there can be other phone calls that I’d like to answer.”

“No work until we land tomorrow in Oklahoma?” He asked me. I thought for a few seconds and then I nodded at him. James had taken his time to prepare a flight and sleep over with me in San Francisco. I had to value that.

“I promise.” I said a bit uncomfortable I was agreeing quite easily with his terms and conditions. He gave me my cell back. I didn’t turned it on again. I just stuck it back inside my purse.

The car parked in front of the Sheraton hotel, a five star huge building downtown San Francisco. When I got out of the car the doorman was already taking our bags of the trunk. James instructed his body guard to wait for us. Inside we made the check in. Our rooms were side by side, something in common with the last dates of the tour.

“Unfortunately you don’t have time to do much, I am running a bit late.” He said while I was just leaving my bags inside of what I could see it was a huge suite. He was paying for it much to my disagreement, but again, fighting in the reception with him was not useful or fruitful. He was a stubborn person.

“It’s ok.” I said closing the door the next second. “I am ready to leave now.” James remained still with his hands in his pockets looking a bit serious. “What?” I asked.

“Don’t you rather stay here?” He asked. I didn’t answer. I walked past him and pushed the elevator’s button. James turned around looking at me but didn’t move.

“Are you standing there?” I asked as the doors opened. James opened a smile and walked up to me, then he surrounded my neck with his arm and pulled me inside kissing the top of my head. I truly felt like holding him too. More and more I had to fight the urge to respond to his gestures. More and more it felt good to be with him. More and more it seemed right to give in to him.

“You’re learning.” He said smiling. I raised an eyebrow at him inquisitive. “It’s ok…” He said running a finger through my cheek.

“Maybe I’d rather spend some time with you and enjoy this than be alone at the hotel. Since I am here that doesn’t make sense.” I told him.

“Is that true Ade?” He asked me.

“I guess so…” I said a bit insecure.

“You JUST guess, which means you are not sure.” He teased me. I tapped his chest as we got out for the lobby.

“Stop reading between the lines.” I said. He cracked one of his lovely laughter.

“You said you guess, I am not reading between anything. The word was there.” He teased again.

“I am almost regretting I came here with you.” I muttered. He laughed loud again as we entered the car.

“Only you’re not regretting anything, you just guess…” He said in my ear as we sat inside.

“You’re being a pain in the ass right now.” I told him smiling, but his face was so close as I turned my head and the smile faded off my lips right away.

“Are you sure Ade?” He asked serious himself. His eyes again begged for a honest answer and I wasn’t able to lie to him, even more because I knew whenever I tried to lie to him, he’d caught my real intentions right away.

“I am sure James.” I said courageously. He strayed and smiled, grabbing my hand in his as soon as the car began to roll on the streets of San Francisco.

We met the real estate director and we just followed his car until the first house he had arranged for James to see. We didn’t even get inside the building, it was an apartment, in the middle of town and James denied promptly to see it. According to his patterns with was too messy, he wanted something quieter. The second house was in the middle of the woods. More like he wanted it. We visited it and there was enough space for what he wanted, rooms for his kids, guests’ room, a garage for his cars and enough space in the basement for a studio as he said it. That one stood on stand by. Then the third, and last one, came. At the beach, just like mine. James toured around the house with the guy and I just made myself comfortable in the large balcony facing the beach. I could tell it was a private beach just like mine back in LA. The place was amazingly beautiful and peaceful. I realized how much I was missing being at home that moment. I felt James stepping in the balcony but I didn’t look back, I couldn’t take my eyes off the calm sea I had in front of my eyes and the sound of the waves was just smoothing. He placed himself right in front of me and put both hands on my shoulders.

“What are you thinking about?” He asked me.

“Home. This house reminds me of my own.” I explained. He gave me a smile.

“You’re homesick?” I just nodded. Suddenly feeling is hands on my shoulders and being away from home and fragile I just felt like hugging him. In a repent, I surrounded his waist with my arms and I pressed my body against his. I wanted to feel his arms around me, for that safety feeling he usually transmitted me. James was caught by surprise with my gesture but soon I felt his arms around my back too. There it was, the most wonderful feeling I’ve ever felt just taken out of a hug. His hug and his arms were miraculous to me. Suddenly I was home even thought I wasn’t physically there.

“I’m sorry.” I whispered trying to excuse me from my sudden move.

“I am sorry James I hugged you?” He asked me giggling. We were still glued, none of us let go of each other.

“Sort of…” I said unsure again.

“These are not the right words.” He whispered in my ear.

“It feels good.” I confessed. He strayed and cupped my face between his hands. A soft smile on his lips.

“Yes, it feels good.” He agreed.

“Mr. Hetfield?” The guy of the agency called him from the door which caused James to let go of me. I was disappointed the real estate man had ruined our little moment. “Do you like this house?” He asked him.

“I do. I am going to think about it. I am not sure yet which one to buy ok? I’ll give you a call as soon as I have an answer.” He said.

“Alright. You have my contact so just call me when you have decided.” The guy told him. With that James grabbed my hand and we walked to the car towards the hotel again. We’d still have some time before we were out for dinner.

“I’ll knock at seven.” He informed me when we were both at our floor. I just nodded at him. Somehow my emotions were running wild and I was feeling more than I expected. I wanted to be alone a bit and think clearly about what was happening to me and between us, clearly something was not right, or at least, according to my definition of right. Right to me was friendship and James admitted before he was not sure if what he felt was friendship, I, myself, was having doubts but then I didn’t have a clue of what it was. If it wasn’t friendship then I was clueless.

Alone in my room and still without an answer to the rush of my emotions I called my best friend. I needed to talk to someone.

“Katy?” I said as she took my call.

“Ade, are you ok?” She asked.

“I am feeling weird things.” I said in panic.

“You had sex with him again?” She laughed.

“NO!” I shouted. “But I am referring to him.” I explained. Not that I had to explain much to her. Just like James, she could read my mind.

“Then tell me…” She said.

“I was with him and I just felt the urge to hug him. Whenever he does it I feel safe, it feels beyond good. It feels like I don’t want to let go. I like to be that close to him. I am enjoying being here alone with him. He’s…” I sighed.

“He’s what?” She giggled.

“Amazing…” I confessed. Katy laughed.

“What’s so weird about that?”

“Everything.” I said. “What is happening to me?”

“You have a crush on him Ade.” She made it simple.

“Oh God…that can’t be. I work with him!”

“Look, yes you work with him but then don’t you think that going away with him, even if it’s just for a day is breaking that boundary? And it came from him, he made the invitation, better, he almost forced you to go with him so I don’t think he’s giving a fuck about that detail of working together and Ade…I’ve never seen you so quiet and peaceful since you two became that close. I think he does you good Ade. Don’t push him away.”

“I am not thinking about that.” I said.

“Yet!” She exclaimed. “But I know you’ll be doing that once you get scared. Give him a chance.”

“Give him a chance for what?” I asked.

“ I cannot tell you everything I am thinking because it will scare the shit out of you and I see you leaving the hotel you’re staying now towards the airport and leave him there. Just don’t freak out. I didn’t like him at first because he was so stupid with you and now I see things differently, I understand why he was that stupid he was trying to push you away when in reality he wanted to be close to you.”

“Now you’re confounding me. This is not about him, this is about me!” I complained.

“Ade, just enjoy the moment. Can you do that for the first time in your life? Enjoy the moment without thinking about the consequences or the impact this will have in your life. Give him the chance for him to do what he wants to do when he thought about taking you there. Just enjoy the fucking moment.”

“I have to get ready for dinner.” I said randomly as I read the time on the clock.

“Good. Have a great dinner miss. Don’t freak out.” Katy advised me.

“See you tomorrow.” I said hanging up. I hoped the shower would help me more than my phone call to Katy did. What she said was just too much information and too much complicated fro my narrow mind to process.

After the shower I raided my clothes to look for the perfect outfit. Again my mind wondered why I wanted to look so perfect to him, because there was no one else, just him. I chose a black strapless dress and matching sandals. Perfume and light makeup made me ready for a night out with James. He knocked on the door just in time. Katy’s words rang in my mind as I walked to the door. I just shrugged.

“Ok, I’ll enjoy the moment.” I said as I opened the door. My jaw dropped when I looked at perfectly dressed James. “Wow…” I said out loud looking at him. He looked amazing in black trousers and a black buttoned shirt. His sleeves folded up until his elbows.

“You look stunning.” He said looking amazed.

“So do you.” I blurted. James raised an eyebrow and smirked.

“Excuse me?” He asked in response to my comment. I cleared my throat.

“You look good.” I said trying to sound as normal as I could. James gave me his arm smiling.

“Right.” He said.
