‘Knowing
it was you there all along.’

Lyrics –

     Frankfurt is much more
magical than I expected. Tanner and I are walking the streets, talking about
old times and new times, plus what we want for the future. We find a beautiful
rock that faces the water. Tanner sits with his back to it and I sit between
his legs. The way he embraces me just reminds me that it has always been him; he
is the one that makes me feel safe. With him, I always feel enough. It has been
him here all along. I close my eyes and rest my head on his chest. Tanner
kisses the top of my head and runs his thumb up and down softly on my arm. We
don’t say a word, but I am certain our thoughts are in harmony.

     Tanner takes a deep breath,
I tilt my head to look at his handsome face, and he takes his hand and places
it on my face. His hand is so warm and my thoughts disappear when his soft,
warm lips connect with mine. He is in complete control of my mouth and I really
like it. The way his tongue is controlling mine with his force is growing
stronger. I begin to rotate my body and he stops me with his other hand. He
opens his eyes and shakes his head no. I lose my breath. The boy I grew up with
has turned into the strong, dominant man, and I am completely in love with him.

     We stand up and begin
heading back to the hotel room. It’s getting late and Tanner has a shoot at eight
a.m. It’s roughly a three-mile walk back to the hotel but neither of us are in
a rush. Hand in hand, we are soaking up the German ambience. Gorgeous! Tanner
stops in front of this hole in the wall bar that has music seeping out of the
door. I just look at him blankly. He says, “Let’s go in. Sing with me?”

     My heart drops and I ask,
“Together, on stage?”

     He smiles and pulls me
against his chest. “Yes, you and I singing our songs together. It’s not as if you
don’t know the words. Listen girl, you sing beautifully. I need to sing with
you.”

      What could I say to that
but yes? I nod my head and he bends down and kisses me. He says, “How about we
sing,
There You Are
?” I lose my breath! I wrote that song about him and
told him some bullshit lie that it was about some fool I dated a couple of
times. He says, “Hello?”

     I smile. I look at him and
say, “I wrote that song about you.” He pauses for a second and I can see him
going through the lyrics in his head.

     He gets a huge smile on
his face and says, “Now I love it even more!”

     We step into this bar and
there are about ten patrons, one bartender, and a man with his guitar on stage.
Tanner orders us each a shot of schnapps, we toast to being here together, and then
we down them. Holy shit, that is strong! Tanner walks up to the singer and I
see him having a conversation, mainly with hand gestures. Tanner shakes his
hand then motions for me to come over there. I walk up to him and the singer
gently shakes my hand. I smile but really want to barf. I write the songs, not
sing them! We get up on stage, maybe two of the people in the bar clap, the
rest look at us like we are fixin’ to make fools of ourselves. I take a deep
breath and Tanner begins to strum the guitar to get familiar with how it is
tuned. He looks at me and says, “Ready babe?” I nod yes. He says, “Just the way
we sang this song in my apartment, you know your parts.”

     I smile and say, “I do.” He
looks right into my eyes and I see his breath leaving him. Once he regains
focus, he begins the intro. I sing the opening verse:

♫
Sitting here alone wondering where you may be, who you may be with, knowing it
ain’t me.

What is
it about her that makes you need to feel her touch, can’t you see you’re
killing me; I’m needing you so much.

I see
the way you look at her, no sparkle in your eye. The sparkle when you look at
me makes me want to cry.

Chorus
– There you are, inside my head. There you are, next to me in bed. There you
are when I close my eyes, in my dreams you’re all I see. But there you are with
her again, and she sure ain’t me.
♫

Tanner
cuts in with a verse that we did not sing! He stares at me and sings:

♫
Had I
known at that time that you wanted to be mine, I’d of been right there for you,
holding tight and loving you.

Being
with her, you never knew; in my mind, I was kissing you. The way you write has
left a scar, on my heart, there you are.

Chorus
– There you are right next to me. There you are inside my head. There you are
next to me in bed. There you are living in my dreams. Here you are loving to
extremes!
♫

My heart not only skips a beat,
it fucking stops! He and I have not even blinked. I know the words; I swear I
do! I take a breath and decide to improvise. I walk up right next to him and
sing:

♫
Looking
into your eyes now, I see you in all of me.

There
you are when we were kids. There you are when my world turned cold.

There
you are when I needed my friend. Here you are until the very end.

Chorus
– Here you are right by my side. Here you are next to me in bed. Here we are
going strong. It’s been you all along!
♫

Tanner puts the guitar down, pulls
me into him, and passionately kisses me right on stage! He wraps his hand with
mine, hands the man his guitar and says, “Thank you, Sir.”

     The man smiles and says,
“You’re welcome. Good for you two and love.”

    His broken English is impressive
and comical at the same time. When we step outside, the night air is a little
chilly but very refreshing. We begin walking toward the hotel and when I glance
at Tanner, I notice him staring at me. I smile and say, “What?” He squeezes my
hand. “What is it, really?”

     Tanner looks at me for a
moment, “It’s just, I don’t want to be out here without you. I really want to
go home with you.”

     I look down and then up at
his beautiful eyes, “I want that too but December will come quickly. Besides,
this is just my first night here. We still have like nine more days, babe. Let’s
just enjoy this time!”

      He looks at me in a way
that makes my body quiver. “You’re right! Let’s enjoy ourselves!”

     We finally make it to the
hotel and it is about 1:30 in the morning. Tanner has to get up early for his
shoot. As we are walking to the elevator, a loud “Tanner!” echo’s from across
the lobby.

     Tanner sighs, “Fuck. Jennifer.”
I look and she is running up to us. She is clearly drunk and loud as can be.

     “So, this is your Lyrics,
huh.”

     I stretch my hand out to
her, “You must be Jennifer. I’m Dylan.”

     She shakes my hand but
doesn’t take her big blue eyes off Tanner. “You told her about me, did ya?”

     The bitch in me comes out.
“Nope, I just recognize you from the tabloids.”

     She snarls, “Oh, that’s a
bunch of bullshit. They always catch me when I am drunk.”

     Tanner comes out with,
“Are you ever not drunk?”

     She pushes him on the
shoulder and says, “Ha! Very funny.” Tanner pushes the up button again, somehow
trying to make it arrive faster. Jennifer asks, “You want some company?”

     Tanner looks at her and
says, “Still no.”

     She looks at me and says,
“I mean with both of you. She is sexy, I just want to lick her.”

      Tanner says, “Go to bed,
Jen.”

      She seductively runs her
finger down his chest and says, “That’s what I am trying to do.”

      He removes her hand and
says, “Goodnight, see you in the morning.” I am literally speechless but in my
mind, I have kicked her ass five times already.

‘Life
has a funny way of testing me.’

Tanner –

     Fucking Jennifer! I knew
she would do and say something stupid. Lyrics is trying to act as if it didn’t
bother her, but I know her better than that. Jennifer is very pretty and I saw
the look on Lyric’s face when she saw her, even though she doesn’t hold a
candle to Lyrics. We get into our room, I turn to Lyrics and ask, “You okay?”

     She shrugs at me and says,
“Yep, why wouldn’t I be? Oh, you mean the skank that wants to lick me?”

     I can’t help but laugh. She
is so fucking hot when being sarcastic. I pull her in and whisper, “Do you want
her to lick you?”

     Lyrics yanks away and
says, “Hell no. Do you?”

     Being a man, a not so
bright man I guess, I raise my eyebrow and smirk. Apparently, that wasn’t the
right reaction! Before I can move, I catch a pillow right across my face. I
tackle her onto the couch and tell her, “Baby, you are all I will ever want,
need, or desire! Jennifer is a skank, you’re right. What I meant when I asked
you that is would you want another girl, ugh sexually?”

     She asks, “Would you want
that?”

     I think for a minute, grab
her face, and kiss her hard. I really want to dodge this question. Hell yeah, I
would want that! I don’t know if I should say that though.

      Lyrics pulls away and
gets on my lap. All of the sudden she begins to glide her tongue on my neck and
I lose all thought. She looks me in the eyes and seductively asks, “Do you want
to see me with another woman? Would you like to have two mouths licking you all
over?”

      This is a trap! I know it!
My cock is rock hard. She slides down to the floor and unbuttons my pants,
never breaking eye contact. She grabs my cock and begins to stroke it slowly up
and down. “Holy shit, Lyrics.” Her tongue is teasingly swirling around my head.
Finally, she takes me in her mouth. I am ready to explode! She sucks hard and
licks like never before.

     She looks up and says,
“Tell me, baby, do you want that?”

     It’s as if I lost the
ability to deny it. I groan, “Uh ha, I want that, baby.” To my surprise, she
lets a growl escape her throat starts going to town on me. I grab the back of her
head and push myself further into her wet accepting mouth. She takes me in all
the way. I know I can’t hold out much longer. I pull her up to my mouth. There
is not a time that I can remember being this turned on. As I strip her down and
bend her over the couch, she is openly ready for me to fuck her, and hard.

     She says, “Fuck me like
you would fuck the other girl.”

      Oh shit. If I had any
oxygen going to my brain, I may have argued this request…but my dick takes up
every bit of oxygen. Without even a second thought, I grab a handful of her
hair and wrap my hand around her throat. I’m literally balls deep, fucking her
wet pussy so hard.

     She is dripping wet,
yelling, “Fuck her baby, cum in her pussy.”

     Are you kidding me? God I
love this woman! Three more thrusts and she screams, “You’re gonna make me cum!
Fuck me!” The feel of her tightening up and throbbing sends me over the edge. I
pull out and shower her back. I am fully aware of the conversation we are about
to have – but damn, it is worth it!

     I kiss her and say, “Damn
girl, you are incredible. So fucking sexy. I love you, baby.”

      She looks at me and says,
“Man, you are all kinds of messed up! Just kidding, I love you too.”

     We climb into bed and she
turns to face me. She says, “Tan, I want to make all your fantasies come true. I
want you to make mine come true as well. I have never been with another female
but I wouldn’t mind experiencing it with you.” My mind is blown! I think my
facial expression must have surprised her. She says, “Does that make me weird?”

     I softly kiss her lips and
tell her, “No, baby, that makes you my Lyrics.” We turn off the lights and go
to sleep.

     It’s six a.m. and the
alarm goes off. I fucking hate six a.m. I want Lyrics to sleep so I ready as
quietly as possible. She groggily asks, “Is it time already?”

     I bend down and kiss her
head. “Go back to sleep, angel. I will be back in about eight hours. I left
money on the table for you to go shopping with; make sure you spend it all!”

     She smiles and says, “I
promise!”

     When I get down to the
lobby, Chip is waiting. I ask, “Jennifer?”

      He rolls his eyes and
says, “Probably hungover again. I have worked with nine year olds that were
more professional.”

      I can tell he is frustrated.
I put my hand on his shoulder and tell him, “Dude, it’s Jennifer Temple!” We
both laugh and the mood lightens.

      After twenty minutes, I
ask the concierge to call her room. He hangs up the phone and says, “She will
be right down.” This girl is such pain in the ass.

      Finally, Jennifer meets
us in the lobby, doesn’t apologize, and just says, “Ready?” If she were a dude,
I would have knocked her out! I could have been in bed with Lyrics for another
half an hour. Chip breaks the tension by telling us about this site we are
going to do the shoot today.

     I ask, “How long do you
think we will be today?”

      He smiles at me because
he knows why I am asking. “We can wrap it up in four hours if everything and
everyone cooperates.”

     I look at Jennifer and she
says, “You better be nice to me if you want to get back to your sweet little country
girl.” Although I want to wrap my hand around her throat, I know she is serious.

     I simply smile and ruffle
her hair. I jokingly say, “Thank God, hair and make-up will be there waiting
for you.”

      She sneers and says,
“That’ll cost you a half hour.” BITCH! Chip just shakes his head.

      I stare out the window of
our car and realize just how beautiful this country is. It is very green with
architecture that holds so much history. I am not certain if I like it or if it
is creepy. I snap a photo so I can show Lyrics when I get back. She will for
sure love it. I can’t stop thinking about her willingness to explore or
experience everything with me. I have had two girls at once but it wasn’t as
mind blowing as I had imagined. The thought was definitely better than the
reality. If she wants to try it, of course, I won’t object. I mean, it is
Lyrics after all. She never fails to surprise me. For the first time in my
life, I actually want to do whatever will make her happy. Making her feel good
makes me feel better…what a trip!
