Chapter 322 - On the floor?

Michael's head was still buried in her neck as the buzzing phone vibrated on the table; he lifted his l.u.s.ty eyes slowly and peeked at it, and as though he was under a trance before and just regained his senses, he lifted his head off her. Diana's breath was still ragged and it took her a moment to get herself together.

When she finally did, she looked at him; Michael slid his hand off her and put her shirt in order. Her face was still flushed from the makeout session and she was still clinging onto him.

He kissed her chin and stretched his hand, picking up her phone;

''You should answer it; '' the call had ended and it began to ring again. She licked her lower lip and took the phone from him, drawing in a deep breath; she came down from his body.

Michael brushed his hand through his hair. He looked like he was fighting with himself. She watched him swallow saliva and stand up from the couch;

''Give me a second; '' he said and walked away. Diana watched him leave and she slumped back to the chair. He could have easily ignored the call.

She sulked as her eyes fell on the caller ID with a frown, when she saw who the caller was, her eyes widened and she quickly picked up the call;

''Hello, Director! ''

She just remembered that he asked them to come to his birthday party, and she was sure he had invited other cast members who might be looking forward to seeing them. How did she forget?!

''Diana, where are you guys? The party has started! '' The director shouted as there was noise in the background. Diana had already promised him that they'll be there, so she didn't want to disappoint him.

''Oh, we are on our way, something came up but we'll be there soon. ''

''Okay, see you. ''

''Yeah, bye ''

A sigh left her lips as brought the phone down after the call had ended; her hormones that were raging a minute ago all calm now, she had a greater thing to worry about.

Walking quickly, she went to Michael's room and opened the door without knocking;

''Michael, do you remember we have a birthday party to… attend?'' her words stopped on her lips when she found him on the floor, with his hands propping his body up.

Michael fell to the floor instantly and pretended to be lying down.

Diana was stunned;

''What are you doing?''

She asked with an amused expression; why was he lying on the floor all of a sudden?

Michael's ears reddened but he tried hard to mask the embarrassment,

''I just want to rest for a while on the floor. ''

Diana blinked; ''rest on the floor? ''

''Mm; '' he replied, embarrassed. He could not find any other suitable answer to his reason for being on the floor; he couldn't tell her that he was relieving himself of the tension caused by her irresistible body.

If the phone didn't ring at that time, he wasn't sure he would be able to stop himself from having her right there in the parlor.

Even though she was responding to his touch, he didn't want her to do things when she was out of control and just horny. This was her first time, he was sure she didn't want to have it on a parlor couch.

''Okay. '' Diana nodded, but her cheeks turned a light shade of red, and Michael knew she didn't believe him.

Clearing her throat, she continued; ''Um, the director just called, we totally forgot about his birthday party. ''

Michael stood up from the ground instantly.

''Jeez, that's true, what's the time? ''

''It's past six, but I've attended his birthday before, it's mostly a night thing. I wanted to tell him we can't make it, but we promised and then we didn't inform him earlier. ''

''Yeah that's true.'' Michael thought; ''we can't go back to your house, so we have to get you something to wear. ''

''Okay; '' Diana nodded, that was the next best thing to do as her clothes weren't in his house. And talking about clothes not being in his house;

''Should I drop some clothes here in case of these type of situations; you know something like this can come up again and we might not be prepared… ''

''Or you can move in with me instead… '' Michael cut her off, making her words stop in her throat.

Her eyes stared at him bewilderedly;

Did he just ask her to move in with him out of nowhere?

Her lips fluttered but she could not reply, was he serious now?

She waited for him to say it was a joke but Michael just stared at her; Diana's gaze fluttered.

''Um... '' she looked at her fingers, hesitating a little;

''don't mind me, I was only joking. '' Michael smiled and pinched her cheeks, taking her hand; he led her out of the room. He didn't want to hear her refuse him, and he didn't want to make her uncomfortable.

Maybe she wasn't sure of her emotions yet, the last thing he wanted to do was force her. He was going to wait, as long as it took, to make her love him wholly, and without a second thought.

Diana stared at his back as they walked out of the house. 

She wanted to move in with him but not immediately, they were shooting a movie now, and moving in together would affect the response to the movie. It was best that no-one knew they were dating yet, and then after the movie they would move in together. That was what she wanted to tell him before he told her he was joking.

Michael opened the car door for her and closed it after she got in;

He drove to the nearest clothes store, and Diana bought a few dresses that were her size, since there was no time to try each of them on, Michael drove to a shoes place, and he got her sneakers, she didn't want to wear heels. He stopped at a wristwatch shop and bought the director a wristwatch, and got it wrapped.

When they got home, it was past 7 already. Diana dressed up hurriedly and thankfully she carried a little makeup kit in her bag, so she did a little makeup.

Michael was waiting for her outside with his hands in his pockets, when he heard footsteps approach, he turned to look at her, and his eyes fell to her legs reflexively.

The gown was a little short, half way down her thighs, and since it was body hugging, it accentuated her curves in the right places, and as she walked towards him, his eyes followed her h.i.p.s;

He swallowed;

''Your dress is quite short. '' He commented, she looked gorgeous but he didn't want all these men gaping at her body because it wasn't possible for her to walk past and any sane man wouldn't look.

Diana sighed;

''we're already late, there's no time to change, don't worry, we won't stay long, we'll just greet him and come back home. ''

She made puppy eyes at him,

''Okay, just make sure you don't leave my side; ''

Diana smiled and nodded. She had gone to the Director's house before so she told Michael the address, when they got to his villa, the party was already heated. There was a loud music in the air, and girls dancing, there were a few people by the pool and most of the people were inside the house.

Diana was not expecting anything less. The director liked to throw parties a lot. He had mentioned once that he didn't want to belong to one person who he would have to change his lifestyle for that was why he wasn't married yet.

Michael held her hand as they walked into the house; there were so many people walking in and out of the house, so he used his body to protect her, so they wouldn't grope her.

''It seems he know a lot of people. '' Michael commented as they finally got into the house. The house was tastefully built, and it wasn't surprising.

Diana's eyes searched around for him and she smiled when she saw him with a woman, he was always with women.

''See him over there; '' she said to Michael and they went to greet him.

''Happy birthday, Director; we're sorry for coming late, something came up. '' Diana greeted with a sweet smile on her face; ''The director beamed when he saw them;

''Thank you, thank you, if it was important, you would have just cancelled, '' he smiled;

''There;'' he said, pointing to a closed door, '' the cast for the movie are in there, you can go greet them while I finish with everyone here. ''

Diana nodded and gave him the package;

''This is for you, ''

''Oh my, you shouldn't have, I just wanted you to come get drunk; '' he laughed, taking the gift from her. He wasn't lying though; he just liked people attending his parties.

Diana smiled; ''alright, we'll be in there. ''

He nodded and Michael led her to the room;

As they walked in, all eyes in the room turned to them.
