        "And we stare each other down like victims in the grind..." Darren played the drums on his rented '2000 mountaineir' as he drove through NYC. He would be here for 3 weeks. It was a long awaited break for a man with his job. After all touring all over the world surely got to him. He took a seperate vacation from his band mates and family. He wanted to be alone and get away. At least that's what he thought.
      As he pulled up to the parking gradge of his 5 star hotel that he had made plans and reservations to stay at he shut off their first cd. He often listened to it when he felt like he was out of place. "Ahh.." he got out of the car and stretched. He ran his sweaty palms and fingers through his roughened- up hair and made way to the hotel doors.
      "Good afternoon sir! May I help you?" A chipper young boy with blonde hair and a good tan in the middle of winter attended the counter.
      "Ah yes hello...room for one last name Chewbac." Darren used a clever Star Wars character each time he went to a hotel.
      "Hmm let me check the computer Mr.Chewbac." The young boy by the name of Jake searched for the information. Darren meanwhile tapped his fingers on the marble counter and took in the beauty of the hotel. It was everything that he imagined and hoped. "Sir..." Jake came back.
      "Yes?" Darren waited with credit card on hand.
      "I am afraid that your reservation was taken.."
      "Sorry? No I made reservations..for today.."
      "Yes sir..and it was a 2:30 check in..it is now 3:25...if your late then the room gets re-rented."
      "Ohh my God...ah. this is not real..umm do you have any other rooms availibal?" Darren touched his forehead and dragged his hand slowly down his face.
      "No sir..this is Winter Break...all the rooms are taken..Christmas and all." Jake stood still.
      "Well do you know of anyother hotels around the area? Maybe possibly...PLEASE?" Darren glared at the boy.
      "Haha umm you could check down the strip somewhere..I don't think you'll find any place..Christmas.. ya know" Jake rubbed the back of his neck.
      "Alright..well thank you..I'll go check aroudn thanks." Darren walked out while trying to shove his credit card back in his wallet. Thoughts of taking a nice hot shower ran through his head. He had been driving from Pennsilvainia to NYC. He walked through the parking garage and got in his car.
      "God damn it." he fliped his cd to 'Break Me Shake Me' and pulled out and drove down the strip. He came across a small store where he walked in and attracted many fans. He stopped and signed a few autographs and talked. Just as Darren looked up he caught a familiar face.
      "Anna?" He whisperd as the amazed girls around him dissapeared he walked over to her. She was picking out fruit. "Anna!" Darren hussled over to her.
      "Darren! Oh my God! How are you!?" Anna set down the apple that she had in her hand.
      "Great! well ehh I'm doing ok what are you doing here?!?! I thought you umm you went to australia With..." Anna interupted him.
      "Noo...no no umm I decided to come here..I didn't want to go back home." Anna looked down. and then back up and smiled.
      "Ohh great!" Darren smiled. He thought about how sweet her smile was in every way.
      "Ya, so where are you staying?" Anna asked, staring into his eyes.
      "Well you mean 'where was I going to stay' ya .." Darren looked at the ceiling.
      "What?? what happened?"
      "Ahh there was a fucking check in time I was like, damn hotels around here are so confusing." Darren rubbed his neck.
      "AWW poor baby! I'm sorry!" Anna touched his shoulder letting it slide down his chest.
      "Ohh its alright I'll find a hotel somewhere! No problem!" Darrens voice was shaky with Anna touch.
      "Hey ya know what! forget hotels! why don't you just stay with me!" Anna friendly slapped his arm and smiled.
      "Ohh no no I couldn't do that!" Darren smiled. They both knew that they wanted each other, but were scared to admit it.
      "Ohh yes you can!! That your car out there?" Anna pointed past Darren.       "Yes ma'am..ride?" Darren asked offering her his arm.
      "Why Darren I would love that." Anna set the basket down and forgot about gettig fruit. They drove down each street while Darren gave her directions to her house. As they reached her place Anna offered to help Darren whith his bags. They got to Anna's appartment faster with two people carying the bags.
      "Damn Darren what do you have in here." Anna ughed up the stairs and then stopped at the landing and then set the bag down infront of her door and she fooled around with her keys to open the door.
      "Condoms..Candles..Ya know, the whole pack." Anna drew a blank on her face as if to look at Darren and say 'you're not serious!' Darren smiled. "I'm just kidding hun!" They both laughed and Anna opened her door. "Wow! This is nice!" Darren was amazed by her appartment. Black leather sofa and chairs, a retro kitchen and white carpets.
      "Aw thank you!" Anna took his bags "here you can set the rest in there if you would like thats the guest bedroom." Anna pointed to a larger room next to hers. "I highly doubt you'll need that room a lot." Anna mumbled under her breath.
      "Whats that?" Darren asked pretending not to hear her.
      "Nothing!" Anna walked out to the balcony. and then back in. Darren smiled. He knew the pasison between them grew over the years and it was just a matter of time where it would touch. "Darren you must want to take a shower! youve been stuck in a car!" Anna ran her hand through her hair.
      "Ohhh yes! could I?" Darren looked at her with an expression of hope.
      "Hhaha sure babe bathrooms right there! everything set..towels I think and soap..the works." Anna pointed to the bathroom.
      "Why thank ya!" Darren opend his bag and got some fresh cloths and shampoo. "Be out in a few" Darren walked into the bathroom and turned on the water. He pulled his shirt over his head and tossed it on the floor. He then removed his Dr. Martain boots and socks. He waited for the water to get warm as he stood there in a pair of Calvine Kline Jeans which were unbuttoned and unzipped. His boxers showed slightly and he stretched a bit more. Just then Anna knocked on the door but before Darren could grab his shirt Anna walked in on him.
      "Darren I remeeee....berd.." her words slowed down. "Wow..umm I mean..I'm sorry I thought you were in the shower I mean I thought you were maybe..umm" Anna tried not to look at Darren's body which stood before her. "Here!" she handed him a large white fluffy towel.
      "Umm thanks..I'm sorry ..I should have locked the door..I mean I don't mind you seeing me like this but..I ..you..I'm sorry." Darren took the towel.
"Thank you" He ran his hand though his hair. Anna's heart droped when she saw Darrens back move. He had such strength in his back she could tell.
      "Ohh its ok..I just..umm I'll let you get showered.." Anna's eyes wanderd down his chest and to his unbuttond and unzipped pants. Darren's face turned red as he shyly smiled and laughed off the thought of Anna seeing him like this. He knew very well where her eyes were going.
      "Alright. Well I'll be right out." Darren toosed the towel over his shoulder. Anna shut the door and then leaned on it after she closed it, exhaling deep breaths. "Oh my god I want him" she whisperd. Unknown to her Darren did the same on the other side. Darren removed the rest of his clothing and got in the shower. He stood under the shower letting the heat take over the coldness that surounded his body.
      After the water had turned to what seemed like ice he got out and wrapped the towel around him low. He peaked out the door. "Anna?? Anna?" Darren called her name.
      "Ya??" Anna came around the corner.
      "You don't mind me walking around in a towel do you?" Darren asked.
      "Ohh,,no no no no! not at all! go head!" Anna smiled. As did Darren.
