The Remix (The Hollywood Twins, #2) (8 page)

“What a great plan,” Rachel announced but she pouted a little. “You could have told me about it you know.”

“I know,” Hanna said apologetically. “But Tony made me promise not to tell anyone, and I wanted him to trust me.”

Rachel nodded. “You did fantastic, I have never seen a crowd go so crazy Hanna, you did it!” she cheered for her sister.

Kyle clapped his hands lightly, and had to agree. “Hanna, that song is now a hit because of your remix. You have a real talent, and I hope you plan to continue to use it.”

“I do,” Hanna replied with a proud smile. It meant a lot to hear such wonderful things from her sister and Kyle. Hanna was elated to know that her remix was about to become a hit, and grateful to Tony for coming up with the plan to switch DJs at the last minute. She knew that it had been risky for him, and it meant a lot to her that he had taken the risk.

Tony walked up, and Rachel and Kyle congratulated him as well. “Well, I see snacks,” Rachel pointed out and hurried Kyle away from the two so that they could have some privacy.

"Thank you," she whispered and stole a kiss from him.

"Thank you," he replied and nuzzled her cheek lightly. "Your talent is what did all of this Hanna," he said firmly. "I'm sorry if I couldn't do things the way I wanted to, but at least I made sure that your talent was shared."

Hanna nodded as she gazed into his eyes. "You are amazing," she said firmly.

Tony grinned but was pulled away by a group of people that wanted to take a picture with him. When Hanna was alone she heard the click of high heels approaching. She looked up to see Kimberly walking toward her. She braced herself for another tongue lashing, but instead Kimberly sighed.

"I'm sorry for earlier," she said begrudgingly. "I guess your remix is a hit. I knew it would be the moment I heard it," she admitted. "It's just I had my eyes on Tony for a long time. He made it clear that we would never date, he doesn't date singers, but I still hoped we would have a chance."

Hanna smiled warmly as she studied Kimberly and realized that just as she had first predicted they weren't that much different.

"Hey it's okay," she replied. "I would have fought that hard for a guy like Tony too. They are not easy to find.”

Kimberly smiled at how understanding Hanna was. “I really do like the mix,” she added. Tony walked up as they were chatting.

“It's good to see you two not killing each other,” he said cheerfully. Hanna and Kimberly laughed. Then Tony leaned close to Hanna's ear, the warmth of his breath tickling at her skin.

“Hey let's get out of here and go to the beach, I know a great place,” he whispered as he ran the palm of his hand along her stomach and drew her body against his.

“Sounds great,” Hanna whispered back. The two of them sneaked out the side door together before anyone could catch them.

*~*~*

"Can I drive?" Hanna asked gleefully as they reached the parking lot.

"Of course," he replied and handed her the keys. He told her where to turn to get to the secluded beach that only the locals knew about. It was a beautiful beach, with the moon spreading its light across the sand and the water, but the best part of it was that it was isolated. There were no houses or hotels where people could watch through their windows the antics on the beach below. Hanna was so happy that she wanted to show it in the best way she knew. She ran off across the beach kicking sand up behind her in Tony's direction.

"Last one in is a rotten egg!" She shouted, and then began to shed her clothing as she ran.

"No fair, you have a head start!" Tony called out as he tried to catch up with her. He shed his shirt as he ran, but Hanna was already splashing into the water, completely nude. The weather was still warm, and the water was perfect. She gazed up at the stars as Tony sloshed into the water behind her. He had taken her lead and also left his pants on the sand. He wrapped his arms around her waist as she continued to study the brilliant night sky.

Hanna smiled but could not tear her eyes from the heavens.

"Is this really happening?" she asked in a whisper.

He nodded slowly as he swept her hair back from her shoulder, letting his touch glide along her bare skin.

"Yes it is," he replied and offered her a light kiss. She sighed as she stared at him. For once she had trusted someone, and he had lived up to her trust, and not done anything to hurt her. It was a strange experience for Hanna but it was wonderful too. Her heart fluttered as she wondered if she would be brave enough to admit the truth.

"I guess I am falling in love with a rotten egg," she said jokingly.

His eyes shone in the moonlight. He could feel the warmth of her skin against his through the cool of the water.

"You really crack me up," he joked back and kissed her gently.

"Hanna, I'm falling for you too," he added with a serious expression.

Hanna felt as if she had found paradise, not in the beautiful location of Ibiza but in the loving arms of a man she never thought she would have the chance to meet. The moonlight played over them as if it was offering its approval as Tony drew her into a slow sultry kiss. Their kiss blossomed into something more as their fingertips began to caress and explore. In the quiet of the beautiful evening, Hanna's voice carried clearly with the pleasure that she felt. It truly was paradise.
