Paisley's POV
I woke up with a mild headache, thinking about the crazy realistic dream I had. Even though the dream was fantastic, it was ridiculous. Suddenly, I felt the bed move and an arm wrap around me, then a body pressed up against my back attempting to spoon.
Holy shit! It wasn't a dream! Brian was here in my bed! What do I do now? I could tell by his breathing that he was still asleep. I carefully slipped out from under his arm and quietly went into the other room. Everything was there, proving it was all real. The wine bottle, glasses, his wine soaked shirt and the hotel robe. I slipped the robe on and paced back and forth not knowing what to do. I had no idea what his reaction this morning would be, less than 24 hours ago he hated me. This could ruin my job and what will the other guys in the band think? One thing for sure, this had to be a one time thing. I admit thinking about it sent a tingle through my body. No! I need to build a friendship with Brian and we both need to forget last night ever happened. I just wondered if he was going to wake up and hate me again this morning.
I was startled by him walking up behind me and wrapping his arms around me. I jumped away, "What are you doing?" I asked.
"I was just saying good morning to a sexy lady." He said with a grin. He didn't hate me, yet.

Brian's POV
I was disappointed when Paisley jumped away from me, but I knew that might happen. I braced myself for her anger and blame. I had already decided that I wasn't going to let her act like last night was horrible. It was the most incredible sex I had ever experienced. I'm pretty sure it was for her also.
"Good morning" she said, in a stiff voice. "Can we sit down and talk?"
"Sure" I popped down on the sofa and patted the cushion next to me. She sat down in the chair instead.
"Brian, I am sorry about last night. I had too much to drink, I hope you don't think I sleep with every guy I get alone."
"I don't think that at all." I smiled, touching her hand for just a moment. She seemed to relax a little. I was just glad she hadn't tried to blame it on me, yet.
"I'm glad you don't. I don't know how or why it happened, but I think we both agree it can never happen again."
"I don't agree" she looked shocked at my statement. "Paisley, you can't just have sex like that and then just say that's it."
"I thought guys liked one night stands?" She said, clearly confused.
"Maybe I'm not just a guy. I'm not the punk kid you thought I was."
"I thought we had put that behind us, you saved me last night. You came looking for me, even though I know that had to be the last thing you wanted to do."
I felt sick to my stomach, should I tell her the truth? This doesn't seem like the right time, she'll be furious. Do I really even have to tell her? She'll never find out, Matt thinks I went to look for her.
"Earth to Brian.." her words drawing my focus back to our conversation and not my inner turmoil.
"You're right, that is all behind us but what about in front of us?"
"In front of us is working together."
"That's it?" She nodded silently. "I'm not okay with that. I saw a part of you that I don't think many or anyone else have seen, even you."
"I'm not sure what you're talking about." She was blushing, it was clear she knew what I was talking about. She wasn't getting away that easily.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about! Tell me, tell me that last night wasn't the best sex you've ever had."
"You don't know what or when the best sex I've ever had was or is!" She was very flustered.
"TELL ME!" I don't know why I yelled, but it worked.
"YES, DAMN IT!" Then she said quietly "It was the best."
"I'm sorry I didn't hear you." I said cupping my ear.
She smacked my leg. "Stop it! You know what I said!" She laughed. I realized we need to back up before we can go forward.
"How about this? We both agree that last night was amazing, but for now we are going to focus on a friendship and a working relationship." I knew she didn't expect me to propose something like that.
"Really? I mean, that's great." She said, trying to disguise her surprise.
"So my friend, what is our plan for today?"
"You said you wanted to explore Huntington Beach, who better than a native to be your guide?" I smiled and then she smiled.
"You're right, that's a great idea. What are we going to wear? My clothes smell like cheap cologne and your shirt has a big wine stain on it."
"There's a small shop down in the lobby, I'll put my jacket on over my shirt, then I'll go down and buy us both clothes." I said it, not knowing how I would pay for it.
"How about this, You go pick out some clothes and I'll pay for it."
"You have a deal, mainly because I only have $20."
"Today is on me, I hope you're a good tour guide." She winked at me.
I laughed "I'll do my best."

She handed me $200 in cash and said she hoped it was enough. Damn, she spent money like it was nothing. She must make a lot more money than I thought.
"Are you sure, you want me to spend this much?" I asked.
"It's a tourist boutique, you'll be lucky if that's enough."
"Can I ask you a question?"
"It depends on what the question is" she said with a sly grin.
"How do you afford all of this? The room, the amusement park, and taking car of our van."
Her grin disappeared and she hesitated for a moment and I was afraid I offended her by asking.
"Let's just say, it's a sort of inheritance. Let's get going, I can't wait to tour this beautiful city."
I wasn't sure what that meant, but it was obvious she didn't want to talk about it. I went down to the shop and the salesgirl helped me pick out a nice sundress for Paisley and I bought a pair of shorts and a tee shirt. I headed back up to her room, hoping this day would go well. I wasn't sure what I hoped last night would lead to, but I knew it wasn't just a business relationship.

She was in the shower when I got back to the suite, I thought it would be fun to try a little experiment. I walked into the bathroom, I had a perfect view of her naked incredibly hot body through the shower door. She didn't hear me come into the room, I watched in silence as she was singing. It took a moment before I realized what she was singing.

"And we have gone through good and bad times
But your unconditional love was always on my mind
You've been there from the start for me
And your love's always been true as can be..."

I couldn't believe it, she was singing Warmness On the Soul! I walked up and opened the shower door quickly and said "Don't give up your day job, Callahan."
She smacked my chest "You asshole! You startled me!"
"Well, I had to do something that noise was disturbing the rest of the hotel." I teased.
"Really? You're such an expert on singing in the shower, why don't you show me?" She grabbed my hand and pulled me into the shower, fully clothed. She was laughing as I was getting drenched by the water. "Now sing, Haner!"

"I give my heart to you
I give my heart 'cause nothing
Can compare in this world to you"

I over exaggerated as I sang, putting my hands over my heart and signing as bad as I could.
"Stop! You're hurting my ears!" She laughed.
"There's only one way to stop me." I kissed her and once I could tell she was getting into it, I ran my hands down her slick sexy body and squeezed her ass playfully. That was obviously the wrong move on my part, because suddenly she backed away from me.
"We can't do this again, remember?" I shrugged my shoulders, smiling at her. She smiled slightly as she continued while wrapping a towel around her. "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that we can't."
"Is it my fault your naked body makes me crazy?"
"Yes it's your fault. You came in and watched me take a shower, you perv!" She laughed as she was walking out of the bathroom. "Now try taking a shower without all your clothes on, so we can get going."
"Wanna watch?" I called out.
I heard her say "NO!" She could deny it, but she wanted me and someday she's not going to be able to resist. It was just a matter of when...
