Picture Perfect (20 page)

That cracked me up and I started belly laughing and couldn’t stop.  “That… is…. Perfect!” I gasped between laughs.
  “I bet Sylvia is loving that she gets to tell her twitter friends first.  I got on Twitter the night I came home to start reading her tweets and I laughed for hours.  I can’t wait to see what hash-tag she uses to announce the girls.  You know it will be hilarious.”

He laughed along with me, the two of us having one of those uncontrollable laugh
ter moments that can’t be planned but are always great memories. 

I was having a great time staying with Tessa in her apartment.  It was amazing to spend time with her living a normal life, and I liked it very much.  She took me to her kickboxing gym a few times to workout and I loved watching her get all sweaty.  She had mad strength and it was a huge turn on.

I’d really come to like her roommate and best friend, Jess.  They were funny together and I could tell that Jess genuinely loved Tessa.  Anyone who was as good of a friend to my girl as Jess was instantly became a friend of mine.

We’d come down to my last two days in her apartment, but things were going along perfectly because I’d talked her into coming back to LA with me.  Neither of us was keen to be separated, so it didn’t take much convincing for her to agree.

This morning I woke up nervous because Tessa was taking me to brunch with her parents.  My prior experience meeting the parents had been in tenth grade when I met Mary’s parents, and that mostly consisted of a series of grunts on my part.  That wasn’t going to fly with Tessa’s parents, and I was worried about what kind of impression I would leave.  She’d called her parents a few days ago and broken the news that she was dating me, so they knew to expect me at brunch this morning.  She swore that they were fine with our dating and that they were anxious to meet me. 
I hoped that was a good sign.

I’d forced Tessa to go with me to the mall the night before so that I could buy a pair of black dress pants and a button down shirt.  She said that the restaurant we were going to wasn’t formal but it wasn’t casual either, and all I’d had was jeans, shorts and tees.  Just like everything else we had done so far, it was fun to shop with her.  Every day I could feel us falling into the comfort of a relationship more and more. 

I was dressed and ready to go, sitting on her bed as I waited for her to come out of the bathroom.  It was a visual treat when she emerged, and I took it in with a groan.  She was wearing a beautiful flowery summer dress that ended at her ankles, and it accented her in an amazing way. 

She stared at me for a moment before she crossed the room to me, stopping in between my knees as she lai
d her hands on my shoulders.  “Oh honey, are you still anxious about this?”

I’d never lied to her and I wasn’t about to start.  “Just a little.  Your parents are important to you, so they’re important to me.  If they hate me, that’s going to be a hurdle I don’t know how to deal with.”

She ran her fingers through my hair as she massaged my scalp gently.  Bending down, she licked and then bit my lower lip before pulling back.  “Flynn, they’re just like Todd.  They’re only concern is that you make me happy, and you do.  I’ve never been so happy.  They’re going to be thrilled.”

Wrapping my arms around her, I pulled her in tight and hugged her.  “You make me seriously fucking happy too, babe.  You have no idea.”

Pulling back, she smiled at me.  “I’m about to make you happier.  You need to de-stress before we go to brunch, and I know just how to calm my man down.”

As she spoke she dropped to her knees in front of me and began to work on freeing my cock.  Just seeing her kneeling before me had me hard, but I didn’t want to be late.  “Babe, if we’re late…”

Sliding her tongue slowly up my shaft, she smiled.  “Then you better come quick.  I’m not leaving here without my appetizer.”

Holy shit s
he made my dick swell.  I came with Tessa every time, and it was never enough.  I always wanted to be closer, to go deeper.  I was drowning in her and I didn’t want to be saved.  I handed myself over to what was happening between us without reservation.

I inhaled roughly as she laved the tip of my cock with her tongue while at the same time she reached into my pants and began to massage my balls.  One of the biggest turn-ons about being with Tessa was that she
actually
loved
to suck my cock.  She wasn’t doing it just to get me off.  I knew without a doubt that she’d be incredibly wet just from having my dick in her mouth.

“Get on your knees next to me on the bed babe.  I’m going to fuck your tiny cunt with my fingers while you suck me.”

She never let my cock out of her mouth as she complied.  When she was next to me, I ran my hand up under her dress, wasting no time getting to the drenched panties that were covering her mound.  Sliding my fingers in, I began to rub circles in time with the rhythm of her cock sucking.  She dripped her warm honey onto my fingers as I rubbed, and her little moans were making my dick swell painfully.

“Fuck, baby… you suck my cock better than anything I’ve ever felt.  I’m going to come down that beautiful throat of yours.  Swallow it all!”

I came with a shout as I felt her cunt start to spasm against my fingers.  She yelped around my cock as she came, but she didn’t miss a drop.  When she’d finished swallowing, she laid her head down on my thigh and stared at me as she got her breathing back under control.  Pulling my fingers out of her panties, I lifted them to my mouth and sucked her juices off.  Her eyes were glazed as she watched me, and I smiled at her.  “That’s right babe, I got my appetizer too.  When we get home, I’m going to lick and fuck that beautiful cunt of yours with my tongue until you can’t take it anymore, and then I’m going to ride you until neither of us can see straight.”

We made it to brunch on time but with only seconds to spare.  Her parents were pulling into the restaurant parking lot at the same time we were.  After helping Tessa out of the passenger seat, the two of us walked toward her parents.

You know how they say if you want to see what your girl is going to look like in the future, you just need to look at her mother?  Staci Hamilton was a mirror image of her daughter and age hadn’t done anything to take away from her appeal.  Clearly, Tessa was going to age beautifully.  Tessa’s dad Eric was a very handsome man in his own right.  I saw a lot of them both in Tessa, and I liked them on sight.

Once the introductions were exchanged we made our way into the restaurant and made our way to the table the waitress took us to.  I was relieved that thus far no one had noticed who I was, and I hoped that would continue indefinitely, especially through brunch.  I didn’t want Tessa’s parents to be embarrassed by a screaming throng of fans, and those types of situations happened fast.  In my e
xperience, the shout of one fan brought an additional twenty fans in under a minute.  The first time it happened, I was overwhelmed.  Later on, when I was in my asshole phase, I’d thought it was funny.  These days I found it jarring and annoying.  I loved my fans, but I hated the loss of privacy.  On the other hand, I’d take a legion of fans over a few paparazzi any day. 

Brunch turned out to be amazing.  Tessa’s parents reminded me of my dad, and that set me at ease.  It was also obvious that the apple hadn’t fallen far from the tree.  Tessa had her mother’s beauty and her father’s sense of humor.  I enjoyed talking to them both, and especially dug how much they loved music. 

Tess was adorably mortified when her mother commented on how bizarre it was that the two of us were dating now considering that when Tess was younger, she used to write ‘Mrs. Flynn Mason Rand’ on every scrap of paper that came across her path.

I loved the idea of her being Tessa Rand, but I knew it was way too early to tell her that.
Putting an arm around her shoulders, I pulled her to me as I smiled into her eyes.  “Aw babe, it’s cute!  See, you were always meant to be my girl.  Would it make you feel better if I started writing Flynn + Tessa on every piece of paper that I see?”

Shaking her head, she groaned.  “I swear to god, if this floor would just open up and take me now, I’d feel
soooo
much better.”

By the end of the meal I’d talked
her parents into flying out to LA for the opening and closing nights of our tour.  It didn’t take much to convince them, which was great.  It turned out that they loved LA, had even talked about moving there.  Ultimately, they’d decided to wait and see what happened with Tessa’s career, figuring that if she wound up in LA they’d move there, and if she wound up somewhere else, they’d relocate there.  I totally understood that, because my family would have moved anywhere that my home base was. 

Tess was thrilled that her parents were going to come out for the shows, especially since
I’d already talked Jess into coming as well.  It would be a great opportunity for Tessa to see the people that she loved before and after we got caught up in the tour.  Our stop in Philly wouldn’t come until the second month of our tour schedule, so it would be an adjustment for her not to see them for so long.   My goal was to always do everything I could to make her happy.

I already knew that f
ailing where she was concerned wasn’t an option for me.  I was past the point of no return with her, and I loved it.

I’d been in LA for more than a week, and living with Flynn exceeded all of my expectations.  We got along perfectly.  We made each other laugh out loud, we could talk about anything and our lovemaking was out of this world amazing.  I felt like a woman like I never had before.  He’d opened a whole new world to me, and it had changed me forever for the better.  I’d come alive with him and it made me deliriously happy.

The guillotine that hung over my head was my anxiety about the tour.  Professionally, I was excited and I couldn’t wait.  Personally, I’m scared to death that the exposure to the groupies and the anything goes sexual buffet that is offered on tour will pull him away.

Today I’m meeting Flynn’s sisters for the first time.  They’re coming over with his dad, his grandparents, their brothers, sisters-in-law and their aunt.  Flynn and I spent most of last night making potato salad, macaroni salad, deviled eggs, fruit and vegetable platters, spinach dip and buffalo chicken dip.  All that’s left for him to cook now are the hot dogs, burgers and chicken breasts. 

We’d also
tried
to make the house a little more comfortable.  We both knew that it was an almost impossible task, but a trip through Bed Bath and Beyond meant that there were at least blankets, throw pillows and some candles in the living room. Our efforts didn’t yield huge results, but it gave the house a scintilla of comfort that it was sorely lacking.

I was standing at the kitchen counter uncovering all of the food we made when Flynn stepped up behind me and wrapped his arms around my middle, pulling me back against him. 

“We work well together baby.  Thank you for doing all of this with me.  You’re incredible and it means the world that you’re here.”

Laying my head back on his chest, I sighed.  “I think you’re pretty damn incredible too, and I love being here.”

I moaned as his hands started sliding up my torso and he buried his face in my neck and gave me a love bite.  Settling his hand over my tummy possessively, he pulled me hard up against him as his other hand cupped my left breast.  “Mm babe,” he whisper growled into my ear, “It’s only been an hour but I’m already strung out for you. I can’t wait till we’re alone again later and we can dive into our bed and not come out until tomorrow.”

My knees turned to jelly
and every nerve ending in my body caught fire.  He was insatiable, and I was right there with him for the ride.  Sliding my hand up behind his neck, I pulled his head down to mine and kissed him.  The hand he’d had cupping my breast moved up to caress my face, and I melted into him like butter.

“My God Tess, I can’t tell you how much I love having you in my life,” he said.

We were interrupted by the sound of people clapping.  Flushing with embarrassment, I pulled back from him.  As embarrassed as I was to have been caught red-handed, I had to laugh when I saw Gram and Pop standing at the kitchen door applauding.  Clearly, they were delighted to find Flynn and I being lovey-dovey.

Sylvia was across the room to me in a flash, pulling me into a hug.  “We missed you terribly sugarplum!  I’m so happy to see you back here ahead of schedule.  It’s my understanding that things are going incredibly well for you and my beautiful boy, not that I’m surprised.  I knew from the moment I saw you two together that this was the real thing.”

What I loved about Sylvia was that she had no filters.  If she thought or felt something, she wasn’t going to hold it in.

Before I had a chance to respond to her non-question, Mason was throwing his arms around me in greeting.  “Better watch what you tell her Tessa-girl.  This one’s chomping at the bit to see her little man standing at the end of an aisle waiting for you.  You’d think having Dominique and Delilah in our lives would have slowed her down, but my Sylvia’s got granddaughter fever and she wants to mark you as one of her own.”

I didn’t quite know what, exactly, I could say to that.  I was aware that my mouth was opening and closing, but I wasn’t able to form words.  Finally I settled on, “Um, I think it’s really early for that.”
