This Ain't Lust

C H A P T E R 36

'Wanna share a piece of your thoughts?' My hand is still pressing hers against my chest.

'I wanna have sex, Derek, you can't expect me to feel nothing when you said that.' Her eyes lit up when she turn to me. She wasn't lying.

'I must be the biggest fool.'

'Why?' She look confused.

'Sex wasn't on the agenda tonight.' I told her, I shake my head.

'Wait,' She looks surprised, 'what? Where are we going? I dont think this road lead us to your house.' She look around the window and back at me for clarification.

'You said you wanted to look at the star with me, and so here we are.'

Rachel went dumbfounded for a moment, like she was going through an inner battle whether she should be punching my face or give me a kiss as a reward for fulfilling her wish. 'National Air and Space Museum?' She reads the sign as we reached.

'Its too late to go back anyway, and I take our date seriously, this is the best place to look at stars.' I smiled at her, as a way of convincing her.

'So, am I considered romantic when I booked this whole place for you?' I held Rachel's hand. Her hand is soft, fits my hand very well. This might be the first time we showed up in public place. A lot of time, I felt guilty towards Rachel, she deserved a better treatment than right now.

'That is abusing your power, Mr. President.' Rachel gawked around the museum, like a five year old who went to a science museum for the very first time.

We walked together, me leading her to the observatory dome where it is equipped with optical telescopes.

'How did you know about this place?' Finally, Rachel is showing enthusiasm for the trip I planned last minute.

'Can't help, I dated too many girls to know which place will secure me a sex for that night.' We both laugh, and Rachel slapped my arm.

'I'm serious, how did you remember what I told you? I don't even recall it myself, Derek.'

'Do you like it or not?' I ask her again.

'Of course, but I rather have sex with you, Sir.' Rachel started her personal brand of Rachel-Sutra.

'Rachel, my knees is getting weak.'

'Really? Does that turn you on that fast?' She looks fascinated, clinging closer to me.

'My knees is getting weak because I am getting older, it's not what your dirty mind is thinking.'

She scowled at me. I grin at her, triumphant soar over me when I managed to irritate her.

'When you wish upon the star...' I sang, making the entrance to the dome way more surreal. Alan and Joe are somewhere close to us, I instructed them to give us more privacy as possible.

'You know what, that song? I just sang it in my head earlier on too. We do have synchronization, don't we? Like how girls staying in the same apartment will have their period together.'
