She sat like that for a long time, resting her head on his shoulder, feeling his heart beat slow and steady, trying to figure out what to do.
"I think we need to talk Tom". She said, getting up, and he nods slowly. "Give me 10 min for a quick shower and I be right back".
She hurried upstair, taking a quick shower and then pulling on a pair of cut of jeans and a faded T-shirt, taking the stairs back down, two steps at a time, finding Tom now dressed on the couch.
"So.. what do you want to talk about ?" He asked, fidling nervously with his hands. Taking of his glasses and then putting them back on. Running his hand through his hair.
Soraya sat down next to him, saying softly. "About us, what to do now, where we stand, if you would put it like that".
"If this is it, just say it okay, no reason to beat around the bush, I mean I totally get it, I am not really your type and ...". He was babbling in the most adorable way.
She grabbed his hand, looking at him until he cuts himself off. "Tom, I would actually like very much to see you again".
"Why do I feel a big but coming on here ?" He looked up, his eyes looked almost scared, like he still expected something really bad.
She sighed, well he was right. "I am about to go on a tour, I am very busy for the next about 3 months till the tour ends, I can't start anything serious now and I don't think I am allowed to either".
"So were does that leave us ?" He squeezed her hand, he looked like he migth be close to tears and she felt really bad. She hadn't expected this, most men were happy to leave the next morning without attachments.
And usually she was happy to see them leave, but she actually didn't want him to leave. Some part of her really and truly wanted to see him again, to get to know him. "I can't expect you to just wait around for 3 months, and hope we can work it out then."
"But what if I want to wait, to just see you now when ever you have the time, just light and casual, and then when you get back from tour, see where it takes us". He said softly.
She gently cupped his cheek, and he leaned into the touch. "You deserves much better than I can offer rigth now Tom, you deserves someone who can be there fully".
"But I want you, I don't know what it is, but I am just not ready to give up on you, on us without a try". He said with resolve. "That is if you want me".
"Oh believe me I do, and I am willing to try, as long as you know it has to be a secret for now, and when I leave I am gone for two moths, that I can't change". She said, feeling butterflies in her stomach for the first time in forever.
He leaned in, kissing her softly, then sending her a small crooked smile. "Well I might never have been as big a star as you are rigth now, but well I kind of know how it is, I can deal with it".

"Thank you for picking me up". He told Ben as he jumped into the passenger seat, after kissing Soraya goodbye on her front step.
Ben smiled at him and started the car. "No problem at all. I take it that it was an exhausting night, since you are first leaving in the middle of the afternoon".
"Oh no Ben a gentleman never tells, but well, we weren't playing backgammon". He said with a wink. It had been an amazing night, and morning and well afternoon. They had sex again before he called Ben to come get him.
Ben rolled his eyes at him. "Well you two looked migthy cosy and intimate saying goodbye, so what now ? Are you dating or ?"
"Well probably or for now not really. Not that I don't wanna date her, but she is about to go on tour in a couple of weeks, and she will be gone for over two months. So the next three months are slammed. We are just you know seeing each other until she leaves and then we see when she gets back". He said looking out the window.
Ben turned on the freeway and he looked at him a bit apologetically. "Honestly I wouldn't have picked you as her type and from your past girlfriends I wouldn't have picked her as yours either".
"It's fine, I know that is what most people will think, but you know sometimes opposites really do attract". He said with a small shrug. He didn't really care what others would think.
Ben looked at Tom. He really hoped this was the right thing for him to do. He seamed very much taken with her already, both the way he had looked at her, and the way he had touched her like a precious price, and then the way he lighted up when he mentioned her.
And he thought she had seemed very taken with him too, but he knew this wouldn't be easy, they would have a lot against them, and well it was just not easy starting out like that with having to be apart.
But he was afraid that his best friend would end up getting burned. From what he had seen, read and heard, she wasn't exactly easy and he thought that their might be aspects of her life that Tom would have a hard time dealing with.
He loved Tom like a brother, but he knew that Tom tended to be a bit high maintenance when it came to girlfriends, he needed someone who was there for him, to keep up his spirit and self-esteem, and that would be hard for someone who was also a famous rock star.
