[Collin] I dont want to be alone tonight

[Natalia Anne Richmond]

*NIGHTIME 4/12*

Collin was coming over and Natalia couldn't be happier or more excited. Her parents had gone back to LA to visit her sister and her brother was on tour with his band, she had the house to herself and she really didn't want to sleep alone tonight. So she invited Collin to come over and of course he said yes. The dogs would have to sleep downstairs tonight though. It would be a little weird for Floyd because he was always with momma no matter where she went. He could live without her for the night though. Natalia slipped on a pair of yoga shorts and put on a pair of knee high socks to go downstairs and wait for Collin. "Come on." Natalia said to Lola and Floyd as she headed out of the room. As usual, Lola ran past her and directly down the stairs, Floyd stayed on her room however. "Floyd. Get down here." Natalia yelled up as she reached the bottom of the stairs. Natalia walked into the kitchen, grabbed a bottle of water out of the fridge and then hopped onto one of the counter tops and sat there. She heard little puppy footprints walking across the kitchen floor and she smiled when she saw Floyd. "I know baby," she said, "it's only for a night." She hopped off the counter, picked Floyd up and walked over to the "dog room". It was actually one of the sun rooms, but she had dedicated it to the dogs. Natalia put Floyd down on the couch, gave him a kiss and then walked out of the room, stepping over the gate. She heard Floyd wimper and she just smiled, "Goodnight Floyd." When Natalia reached the kitchen she heard a car door close and she smiled. Natalia walked to the side door and opened it just as Collin got to it.

It had been a long day so far for Collin. As soon as Natalia released her single Can’t Be Tamed, he’d gone straight to work into what the video should be like. It mattered a lot how the fans perceived it and what their reaction was and so far it seemed like they loved it. He had just finished approving some mock up designs for one of her costumes and as he stared down at the outfit of .. a bird.. well, he knew she was going to look at him like he was crazy. But between all of the meetings and planning he’d also finishd up most of the work on the latest Maine music video and had managed to stop and buy Natalia a present. It wasn’t like he was going to buy her a present every single time she released a single, but this was a big moment for her. She was changing her sound, becoming more of an adult. Just as he had gotten home and settled down, twisted the cap off of a bottle of beer, his phone had vibrated. And there she was, asking him to come over. It had taken all of about two seconds for him to get off the couch , locate his car keys and be out the door.

Logan bit the edge of his lip and chewed on it, a habit he had when he was deep in thought, and was still thinking about her music video. He was trying to decide which choreographer to get a hold of, it would be weird getting a new one on set for Natalia but he needed one that would bring the sexiness of the song out of Natalia. It had been a while since driving to his girlfriends home meant driving to the home that her parents also lived in. Natalia had money, she could move out if she wanted, and he was sure that she would, eventually. Having her own space would be good for her. When he pulled into the drive he parked the car, grabbing the jewelry box from his center console and placed it in his jacket pocket before he got out of the car and shut the door. He felt sort of bad for asking Natalia to keep the dogs away from her room. That just wasn’t sexy. He smiled as he came to the door and she opened it right as he approached it. “ Hey beautiful,” he said, smiling as he wrapped his arms around her waist as he entered the home and leaned down to give her a kiss before he picked her up in his arms.

Natalia smiled and wrapped her arms around Collin, "Hey babe." She closed the door behind him and smiled against his kiss when he picked her up. Natalia wrapped her legs around him and kissed him for a little bit longer and then broke it. She looked into his eyes ans smiled, "I've missed you." she said as she ran her fingers through his hair and then wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him one more time.She unwrapped her legs and stood back up on the floor. Natalia looked up at him, still smiling. "How has your day been?" she asked as she walked over to the fridge, opened it, grabbed a bottle of beer and then closed it. She took that bottle top off and then walked over to Collin and handed it to him. Natalia hopped onto the the counter in the middle of the floor and pulled Collin closer to her by his shirt and kissed him again. "I'm so excited about the single dropping. Feels good to be able to do my own thing. I feel free..in a way." she said with a small laugh. She ran her hands down his chest and then placed them on his hips. Natalia traced her fingers along his hip bones and sighed. She reached around behind her, grabbed her water bottle and slid off of the counter. "Come on." she said as she took hold of his hand and headed up the stairs. Natalia walked into her her room and pointed over to her DVD case, "Pick a movie, any movie." she smiled and sat down on the end of her bed.

Collin smiled as she said that she missed him and held his hand tightly against her lower back as she kissed him again. “ I missed you, too” he said, thinking back for a short moment to when they had first met. He’d never imagined that this girl would come to mean this much to him. He took in a deep breath and licked his lips as she climbed off of him, taking off his jacket as he followed her further into the house. “ Actually it’s been pretty busy. I think I’m almost done editing the footage for The Maine’s music video, and I’ve been doing some treatments for Blake. Plus I am doing the finishing details for the specs we have for uh.. our ideas for your ‘Can’t Be Tamed’ video,” he said, taking the beer from her and taking a quick drink. He really didn’t want to tell her that he was turning her into a bird, not tonight. He smiled faintly as she said that she felt free, he could understand that. “ Well you’re certainly growing up,” he said, holding her close against his body as she kissed him again so he could try to savor it for another moment before she bounced off happily. He followed her up the stairs, taking another drink from the beer. He wondered what that would be like with her parents there. Slightly awkward. But when they got into her room he decided just to focus on them for tonight. “ Any movie…” he said with a slight click of his tongue as he went over to her DVD collection and looked through them all pretty quickly. The first two to catch his eye were The Matrix and Iron Man. He just reached in and grabbed a case, looking at it to see that it had been The Matrix before he took it out and set everything up. He looked back over the edge of his shoulder and smiled as he saw her sitting at the edge of her bed. He took in a deep breath, tired from the day before be set his beer down on her nightstand and spread out on her bed, laying his head against the pillows. “ Come here, I have something for you,” he said, gesturing for her to come lay with him. Collin took the ringbox out of his pocket and set it delicately in her lap. “ Don’t think I’m going to spoil you every time you release a single.. this one was special, you defined who you were,” he said before he wrapped his arm around her and leaned down to kiss the side of her neck and up to her ear as she opened the box.

Collin was right, Natalia was growing up. She couldn't be seen as little Hannah Montana forever. That was one step in her career, she had bigger dreams than that. The Last Song was really the first step for her. It was nothing like Hannah Montana, at all. Then LOL and So Undercover. He career was really going in the direction she wanted. Her new album was all new music for her, like a pop rocky feel. Every song on the album was personal and from her heart."Can't Be Tamed" was like her saying that she will keep growing and doing what she wants to do and no one will hold her back. Natalia knew Collin would come up with some great ideas for the video, she was excited to hear his ideas."Yup, any movie." Natalia said as she watched him rummage through her DVDs. Natalia smiled as she watched him. Who knew that these two would be here, in this situation, right now. When she had first met him, she really actually wanted nothing to do with him on any other level than professional. Now, it was like they couldn't get enough of eachother. They saw eachother a healthy amount of time and were away from eachother. It was nice. Right now it was just her and him, no interruptions at all. She looked at the case Collin had put back down and smiled, "The Matrix, one of my faves." Collin placed a small box and Natalia smiled, "What's this?" she said. She opened it and felt goosebumps on her skin as Collin kissed the side of her neck and then moved up to her ear. "Oh my God!" she said as she looked at the ring. "This is gorgeous." Natalia stared in awe at the ring for a few more moments before she placed the box on the night table and then turned to face Collin, no one had ever given her anything like that before. "Thank you so much." she placed both of her hands on the side of his face gently and kissed him. Natalia ran her fingers throw his hair and then down along the back of his neck and his back.

Collin twirled Natalia’s hair around his fingers as he pulled some more hair off of her neck and continued to kiss it as he watched her hands opening the box. He smiled at her reaction, glad that she seemed to be okay with what he had given her. He kissed her shoulder as she said it was gorgeous and then sat up, “ Just like you,” he said, wrapping his arms around her comfortably. She was so much more than he ever imagined he’d be capable of finding. He’d made a lot of mistakes in his life, in past relationships, and to get the chance to start over with someone like her was truly a gift, and it was definitely one he wasn’t going to take for granted. She made him feel on top of the world and he would do anything to make her happy, no matter how long it lasted. Whether it was ice cream to cheer her up after a bad day, or someday kneeling down on one knee. When she kissed him again he smiled against her lips, placing his hands delicately on the back of her hips as he pulled her closer to his body. “ You’re welcome..” he said before sitting up to be closer to her. Collin slid his hands underneath her sweater, just feeling the warmth of her skin against his fingertips as he slid them against her lower back. After a few moments he brought one of his hands down to the outside of her leg where he pulled her over his hips. Collin moved away from her neck, tracing his lips down to her collar bone before he kissed her there gently. He moved his hand away from the outside of her leg and gripped it tightly to the inside of her thigh.

Natalia smiled once again when Collin said the ring wad gorgeous just like her. He made her smile a lot actually. He made her very happy, and didn't even have to really do anything. Just be himself.Natalia closed her eyes when she felt Collin's soft fingertips on her back. Natalia moved over his hips with ease and then opened her eyes to smile at him. She leaned in and kissed him as he gripped on her thigh. She rocked her hips a little forward and then back. She ran her fingers through his hair and gently pulled back so his neck was open to her. She smiled as she moved slowly towards his neck. Natalia placed soft kisses up the side of his neck. While she was kissing his neck, her hands slipped under his shirt and slowly pulled it up over his head. She gently tossed it on the floor and then went back to kissing him. She broke the kiss to pull her out shirt up off of her, throwing that with his. She gently pushed him back on the bed. Natalia placed soft kisses along his stomach and then up to his chest. Natalia gently nibbled on his ear and then moved her lips back to his to kiss him once again.
