(Love) Contract

Brian’s POV

“Where the hell is that guy?” I ended the call, not wanting to leave a message on Matt’s voicemail. I went back upstairs looking at the guestroom for Tara.
Since Matt was still occupying the other one, there was only this one left and they had to share a bathroom.
Wouldn’t be for too long, Matt just wanted to see if Tara and I came along and as far as I was concerned I think Matt would be out of here rather sooner than later… Or I would have to make him leave.

I looked into the guestroom, the bed was made and I looked into the wardrobe to see if somebody of my other nightly visitors and forgotten something.
But everything was empty, this room wasn’t decorated much and I felt a little sorry, but if she would need anything else we would just go shopping again…
Maybe it would be best to bring her things to my room anyway, since Jimmy wanted to show up here and on Monday the others would also be here for the band meeting…
I needed to talk to Tara about everything, if she would finally show up here with Matt…

Was it really true? Did Matt forget to pick her up? Did he miss the appointment, since he didn’t answer his phone, this could really be happening right?
Should I drive to her and do the job?
Ah fuck, I would call him a final time and if he really wouldn’t pick up I would get my girlfriend.
Ha, sounds funny… my girlfriend, still couldn’t believe that Matt really made me sign that contract and think that this actually was a good idea.

I pulled my phone out dialing Matt’s number again.
“Brian?” Matt’s voice sounded finally.
“Yeah, man… where are you? Shouldn’t you be here already? Did you forget to pick up Tara?” I asked and I heard Matt put the phone away, some rustling and then he was back on the phone.
“Yeah.. sorry… I did. I am at her home now. We will be there shortly, don’t worry.” Matt said and sounded a little out of breathe.
“For real? You forget that? I can’t believe it…” I chuckled. “Anyway… so I don’t need to drive there myself?” I asked again, because I only wanted him to confess again, he forgot something… so good.
“No, you don’t need to. I am here, we just got her bags and make our way to you now… Bye.” With that Matt hung up and I shook my head, too funny…

Tara’s POV

Oh damn, this really was wrong. I quickly went to the bathroom and got dressed when Matt was on the phone talking to Brian.
How could that happen? I was angry at him, he was my boss… he was… too damn sexy.
He hung up and pulled his pants over his boxers, such a shame to hide that glorious body.
He walked towards me and grabbed my shoulder.
“Tara, listen… I need to say this again. I never meant to embarrass or hurt you… I didn’t mean to upset you, which was a hell of a lot sexy by the way, but that’s beside the point… I am sorry. This… was amazing, but it doesn’t change anything between us, alright? You will still do the job and we will just pretend like nothing happened?” Matt looked at me and I could do nothing else but nod and blush a little.

Sure, I would still do the job, but does it really not change anything between us?
He seemed sure so I put a small smile on my face. “Yes, you are right. We will pretend like nothing happened. I will be Brian’s girlfriend from now on, nothing else.”
He let go of my shoulders “Do you accept my apology?”
“Of course… I am sorry as well, I shouldn’t have reacted the way I did… I guess this got out of hand pretty bad… in every way.” I smiled and Matt chuckled lightly, showing his dimples.
“Why don’t we start over again?” Matt asked and I nodded “Sounds good to me.”
He held his hand out “Hey, I’m Matt.”
“Hey Matt, I’m Tara, nice to finally meet you, my boyfriend Brian told me a lot about you.” I smiled, but Matt’s smile vanished for a second but he put it back on his face just a moment later.
“Very good.” He said finally. “We should leave now, when do you have to be at the Bar, to talk to this friend of yours?”
“At 5, Brian is coming with me, right?” I asked and Matt grabbed my suitcase while I took my small bag and we left my sister home.
“Yes, you will be going with him. I think it’s best to show you with him a lot in the beginning, to spread the word…” Matt set my bags in the trunk and then helped me climb into his car.

We drove silently over to Brian’s house and Matt parked his car on the driveway.
I went to the front door and knocked, only a couple of seconds later Brian opened the door.
“Hey Girlfriend, did you have a good night?” Brian leaned down and put his hands on my waist, and captured my lips with his.
I pushed him a little away and he frowned at me “What’s wrong Tara?”
I tried to smile “Nothing, I need to get used to this…”
“Oh I will help you with that, don’t you worry.” He smirked at me and his lazy brown eyes roamed over my body.
“Here do something useful and take the bags from your girlfriend.” Matt held my bags out and Brian let go of me and took them.
“Follow me, my love. I will show you our house and give you a small tour.” Brian turned around and I followed him inside.

His house was impressive, since we had set my bags in the guestroom which I would occupy he went with me to every room and told me something about it, I haven’t seen Matt the entire time, which I was glad for because I didn’t know how to react around him right now.
“I was thinking, love… maybe we should store your things in my bedroom for now…”
“Whoa whoa… Brian, don’t let this get to your head…” I replied and he smirked even more.
“Let me finish before you make any assumptions.” Brian grinned.
“I mean, my friend Jimmy is coming over in a bit, and we have this band meeting on Monday, so all the guys will be here, I don’t want one of them walking into my guestroom finding your things lying around… would look kind of weird, wouldn’t it?” Brian asked and I had to admit that he had a point there.
“Okay, I get that, but I will be sleeping in my room.” I clarified.
“Deal?” Brian asked and held his hand out.
“Deal.” I nodded laying my hand in his, he lifted our hands to his mouth, kissing my nuckles.
I shook my head, “Are you always like this or am I something special?” I asked but knew the answer already.
“I’m trying to find my role, love. Which do you prefer beauty, love, sweetie? You get to choose.” Brian laughed.
“Tara is fine.” I told him but he shook his head, “Fine then I will choose, beauty.”
“Did you find the terms of your relationship?” Matt stood suddenly behind us, his arms crossed over his chest, making me long to move my fingers over his muscles… again… damn it… control your thoughts, Tara!

“Not completely, but that would be none of your concerns anyway. We will talk about this and keep this between us. So tell me beauty, when do we have to be at your new other job?” Brian asked and turned away from Matt, laying his arm around me.
“At five, when does your friend come over? I think we need to discuss some things before that.” I asked and one last time I looked over my shoulder at Matt standing in the foyer looking after us.
“He will be here around 7, I send him a message, that you are working earlier, which is not really a lie at the moment.” Brian grinned.
“Good, then let me unpack some of my stuff and then we should talk about some detail about us and our relationship and maybe even get over our ‘how we fell in love’-story together.”
“Yes, you are right, and I know the perfect place for that. I will get your bags and then we will move over to my bedroom… there we can spend the rest of the day… that would be totally my style.” Brian grinned and I shook my head again.
This guy was really a special guy and I really could get used to him…
