Lost in You

She let out a small giggle as her feet wedged themselves into the freshly wet sand. There was a small wind running through Huntington Beach, making her shiver slightly as her misty eyes watched the waves crash onto the rocks. The mixture of the burger she ate previously and the drinks made her stomach queasy, but she ignored it. Hands hand encircled her waist as she instinctively shivered when a body pressed against her back. Her head had titled over her shoulder to look up at him as he gave her a lazy smile, leaning into nuzzle the side of her neck, causing her to giggle again.

In that moment, Leia didn't feel real. She had never felt even a piece of happiness she had felt right now. The night had been just a blur that Leia was still trying to put it all together. All knew she for sure at that moment, was that there was absolutely no where else in the world she would rather be right now. Perhaps it was the liquid that settled into her bloodstream that made her feel content, but mostly it was the hands that held her, and the face that stared at her.

Bryce turned her around to face him head on, her breath was caught up in her throat.

"I-I've never felt s-so good so before." she whispered.

"Neither have I." Bryce admitted, his shaggy hair was now fully in his face and eyes were also hazy. Leia could only stare at him in awe, even if her mind was slowly going blank she could still see him perfectly. She wanted nothing more than to grab him right then and there.

"Let's make each other feel even better." he whispered as his face coming closer to hers, hands pulling her back to him. Leia melted inside and before she knew was what she was doing, her hands pressed firmly against his muscled shoulders and boldly kissed him. Bryce pushed his lips against hers with no hesitation while his hands squeezed her hips. All her sense had gone out the window as her mind became fuzzy, her body not her own. All she was able to feel was his lips and the sand hitting her back. She was lost, lost in him.

This was not her. This was not Leia, and for that moment Leia did not care.

The sound of a very loud lawn mower jolted Leia from her sleep as she sat upright and gasped. Her eyes squinted when they were met by the blinding sun peeking through her curtains. She immediately regretted it when her head began aching from her equilibrium being thrown off. Her other hand traveled down to nurse the intense ache of her stomach, feeling the urge to vomit.

"What the hell..." she whispered as she looked around. She was in her room, in her own bed, but she could not remember how she got there. Nothing seemed to make sense as she tried to piece together what happened the night before. All she could recall was being at the concert with Skye. It was only after a few minutes of her fully waking up, did Leia have a flashback of last night. She remembered loud and obnoxious 50's music, a burger, and...him. Her eyes widened as the thought of him came back to her, a sensation of hands touching came up and Leia shook her head.

"That couldn't be real, I was dreaming." she whispered to herself as the memories got a little stronger. There was no way she had been on 'date' with Bryce Klemer. She was positive she had gone home with Skye after the concert, not dinner. There was also no way Bryce Klemer had ask her, Leia Carter, of all the girls in the world. But yet, she was unable to find the explanation of why she felt so hungover.

Unless...

"Noooo." she whispered again in denial. Had she gotten drunk...with him? Leia's eyes scanned the bed and noticed the side of her bed was messy and crumpled. As she got off the bed, there was distinct ache in her lower region, to which she scoffed.

"You have got to be kidding me." she was more vocal now. None of this made any sense, it was like Inception she thought. Nothing this weird had happened in her life before. The idea of having drunken sex with a rock star was totally not a logical explanation. Then reality seemed to become even darker. If that was true, then where did he go?

She ran a hand through her messy hair, thoughts taking over her mind. Had he in fact pulled a classic groupie move? Did he really get what he wanted and then off he went, writing her name on his list of hits? Her eyes watered as she just wanted to forget it all, this was a nightmare.

Just as she was about to make her way out the room, a sudden noise from the bathroom stopped her in her tracks. She scanned the closed door with cautious eyes, heart racing.

"Who's there?" she called out gently. She had a strong feeling in her gut that someone other than Skye was in her bathroom. Leia carefully walked to her bedroom door, reaching for the metal baseball bat that was kept there for reasons like this. She gripped it firmly in her hands, walking to the bathroom door where small noises was still being heard. She stopped at the door to catch her breath, hands held tightly on the bat, she let one go to reach for the door knob. Forcing herself to be brave, she gave what almost sounded like a warrior cry out and swiftly opened the door. Prepared to attack, she reacted with another scream.

"What in the ever loving hell?" the male gasped confused as his eyes set on the petite girl with messy hair holding a rather large bat.

"Um...I...um." Leia stuttered unable to speak as she stared back him, her grip slowly eased up off the bat. Her face was filled with shock, horror, and embarrassment.

"Are you okay?" Bryce he asked with seriousness. Leia gave a slow nod, unsure if she actually was okay.

"Jeez, is this how you treat all your guests?" he mused with a raised eyebrow. Leia flushed further before she set the bat down.

"I'm really s-sorry, it's just I thought you were an intruder or something, I didn't it expect it to be you..." she replied honestly, trying her hardest not to him when she realized he was shirtless wearing only plaid boxers that hugged the toned 'V' at his hips. The colorful tattoos on his shoulders and side was quite a display.

"I see, you must've been expecting someone much more good looking." he reasoned.

"What? No, not all, it's just...I can't remember anything from last night." she explained. Bryce ran a hand through his shaggy hair awkwardly.

"Yeah about that, to be honest I don't remember the rest of the night either."

"Rest of the night? What do you mean?"

"You don't remember we ended up having a couple drinks after we ate? At Johnny's?" Leia shook her head.

"Oh." Bryce replied again awkwardly. "Well, that's all I can put together. I don't remember how I ended up here what looks like pandas invaded." he motioned to the many pandas decorating the small bathroom as Leia blushed.

"Well that helps...not." Leia replied walking back to her bed as Bryce followed her. She had many questions that needed answering, but didn't know how to ask. "Umm, did we...you know..." she hinted at him wearing only boxers. Bryce scratched his head as he shuffled his feet.

"Uhh well, I'm not 100% sure, even though I woke up naked, but you know that doesn't mean anything." he replied, trying to lighten the situation but Leia was not amused.

"Of course."

"Ya know, you sound awfully disappointed."

"Not disappointed, just you have to understand I've never had this happen before." Leia explained. I'm not a damn groupie.

"I understand." he nodded.

"I'm not a groupie or anything."

"Didn't get that vibe from you."

Leia only twiddled her thumbs as she didn't know what else to say.

"For what it's worth, from what I do remember, I had a good time." Bryce noted still trying to make the situation less awkward.

"Me too." Leia replied politely. Bryce smiled before he suddenly dashed for his phone checking the time, but seeing a bunch of missed calls from his band mates, they were going to be pissed at him.

"I hate to leave like this, but I'm pretty sure the guys will have my head since I'm late." he explained locating his discarded jeans and picking them up to slide them on. Leia couldn't help the disappointment that had now built up in her stomach. She watched him get dressed and just wanted to know the reality of it all.

"So...is this the part where you say goodbye and I never hear from you again?" she asked trying not to sound accusatory. Bryce's lip curled to the side as he pondered the statement.

"Well yes I have to say goodbye because I'm late for band practice." he explained sliding on his sweater. Leia nodded her head in defeat, already knowing the answer.

"I understand." she replied while he noted the hurt expression that was trying not to show. He gave a small smile as he walked over to her.

"But this also the part where I ask you if it'd be okay if I saw you again."

Leia turned her head up surprised.

"Really?"

"That is, if you promise you won't hit me with a bat." he added with seriousness causing Leia to laugh, slightly embarrassed still.

"I promise, and that would absolutely be okay." she answered with a genuine smile.

"Good. Cause I'd be awfully disappointed if it wasn't." he smiled back slipping on his shoes, checking his phone again. "Here." he said grabbing the note pad and pen off her nightstand. He scribbled on it before resting it in her lap. "I got to get going." he apologized before before taking her hand and kissing it gently.

"Nice again to meet you Leia." he said before they both smiled at each other and Leia watched him walk out of her room and eventually out the house. Her hands nimbly picked up the pad of paper, her eyes widening with disbelief.

Call me sometime so I can see that face of yours again, I'd love to see you.

P.S, leave the bat at home.

xxx-xxx-xxxx Bryce :)

Leia giggled as she dropped the pad beside her and still processed all that happened.

This couldn't be real life.
