Excerpt. Would anyone read?

So I've been wanting to write a story about Johnny Craig, for a while now but wasn't sure if i should go through with it because, I'm not the biggest fan of him personally, but music wise I love him. This is just an excerpt. Please let me know what you think.

I had no idea why I was here.
I didn’t know why I was with him right now.
All I knew was I wanted him, just like he wanted me.

Slowly he pressed me against his hotel room wall, trailing kisses down my neck.

“Johnny.” I breathed, biting my lip.

My hands fell down to his shirt pulling it off then to his belt.
He did the same, helping me out of my clothes then picking me up.
I wrapped my legs around his waist.
He brought us to the bed, slowly laying us down.

I looked into his eyes through the darkness.
I could see all the pain he was going through and I wanted to make them go away.

I pulled him down to my lip again, kissing him passionately.

“I’m here for you.” I whispered through our kiss.

“Thank you.” He whispered back before having his way.

“Hello, earth to Lacey!”

My head snapped up when I heard my name being called.

“Huh?”

“Are you sure you’re alright?” Kelly asked.

Kelly was my best friend and co-worker at Fueled Up magazine.

I sighed, “Yeah.”

God, why can’t he leave me alone.

“Are you still thinking about him?”

“Who?”

“Lacey. You know who. Johnny Cr-.”

I quickly put my hands over her mouth, “Shh Kel. No one can know about that and no I’m not.”

“Are you sure, because you’ve been spacing out a lot lately. Are you falling for him?”

“No!” I yelled.

Everyone outside my office looked at us.
I closed the door shaking my head.

“No Kel, I’m not. It was a one night stand; we were both out of it.”

“It doesn’t seem that way to me Lace. Why don’t you call him, maybe if you speak to him all of this will blow over.”

I looked to my phone which had numerous missed calls from him.

I shook my head, “I can’t.”

“Why, what are you afraid of?”

“The promises that I made him.”

Kelly’s eyes grew, “You did what? Why didn’t you tell me this?”

I did leave that part out.

“They were drunken promises, but a part of me is saying they’re more than that. I can’t. No. This is too much.” I said taking a seat, burying my face in my hands.

Kelly sat next to me, wrapping her arms around me, “It’ll be alright, but you can’t keep fighting this.”

“I have to. I can’t be seen with him, he has such a bad rep, he’s an addict, dirt bag and ugh. He’s bad news.”

“Johnny maybe all those things, but under all that he’s still a human being. He’s hurting. He needs someone to help him get better… Maybe that’s why you made whatever promises you made him, because you know he needs a shoulder to lean on.”

“I’m not the one to help him with his problems Kelly, I’m only human too, not a superhero.”

“Fine. But who’s going to do the interview with him now. That’s your story.”

I pushed my brunette hair out of my face and groaned, “Shit. I forgot about that.” I turned to Kelly and smiled.

She got up shaking her head, “No way Lace, I’m not doing it.”

“Please Kelly, please. I’ll owe you a million and one, please.”

“No, no, no.”

“Kelly, don’t make me have to get on my knees and beg. You know I will.”

“Lacey please don’t.”

I began inching closer to the floor.

“Oh alright, that means you have to take my interview.”

I jumped up hugging her, “You’re the best Kel, thanks a bunch. Kellin and I are going to get along quite well.”

“I wanted to be the one he got along with,” she mumbled.

I threw my head back laughing, “Next time.”

Kelly grumbled, walking to the door.

“I’ll email you all the info, okay?”

“Dido.”

I went back behind my desk, logging back in.
My eyes trailed to my phone as it vibrated.

It was Johnny again.

I thought to answer, maybe this one call, but stopped myself.

I took Johnny’s hand, kissing it. “I’ll always here for you Johnny, no matter what. I promise.”

“I need to hear that Lacey, but don’t make me a promise you can’t keep.”

“I’m going to keep it, no matter what I will.”

I looked up and smiled at him.

He smiled back, “Thank you.”

A tear fell from my cheek and I quickly wiped it away.
But more kept falling.

“I’m so sorry for making that promise.” I whispered.
