The sequel to TSRTS. That's the Way follows Hazel as she raises up to super stardom. Love Affair? You guest right. Marriage? Maybe... Children? Read. Death...most certainly.
After a nice day in New York, Keith and I decided to go to Malibu with each other. Like I said before we've been getting a lot closer...closer than what we should be. I'm not going to lie but a couple nights, we were both drunk, were with each other. In the mornings, we'll wake up saying never again but we wind up doing it again the next night or the next week. It all started on the first leg of the tour. The first night it happened was in Cleveland in all of places. I didn't mean to do it but I missed Jimmy and I was loathing for some r and r if you know what I mean.
I decided that on our way to Malibu I'll take first class and he'll business class. He's going to be in a disguise so it doesn't look like anything is happening. He booked two rooms next to each other at the Malibu Beach Inn. I suggested it since I didn't want anyone to say "Oh they're staying in the same room" that whole thing you know. I do believe that Sophia, Sam, and Daniel knew but no one else. Does it bother me that I'm doing this? Yes and No. Yes because I don't want to cheat on Jimmy and be a faithful wife but on the other hand, I won't see him in like a year or so. Plus cheating wrong. However, Jimmy's done it to me a couple times so it shouldn't even matter. Hopefully what Keith and I are doing will only happen for a little while and it won't be a constant thing.
The plane ride was really long. It took about six hours to get there. I got off the plane as fast as I could and headed straight to the rent a car spot. I did all my paper work quickly and rented a nice white corvette. (picture below). It was a beauty. I think I'm going to buy one when I get back to England. I'll mostly drive it on sunny days and when I don't have the kids or don't have little James with me.
Driving to the hotel was unbelievable. It seemed like a movie. Palm trees everywhere and a bright blue sky with not a cloud in sight. Something you rarely see in England. I drove with the windows down and the radio all the way up. Something I never really get to do. While driving the song 'The needle and the Spoon' came on the radio. Let me tell you, them boys in Lynyrd Skynyrd are fucking talented. It would be a shame if something happened to them. Driving to the hotel was unbelievable. It seemed like a movie. However, when the next song that played, and think it was ironic, D'yer Maker. I'm surprised that they played it. It's such a bad song but I couldn't tell Jimmy that. In honesty, I don't remember who wrote it but it sucked.
I finally got to the hotel. It looked really nice from the outside. Keith told me they had like their own beach but it didn't seem so. I parked the car in front of the valet and hopped out. I walked over to the truck and grabbed my suitcase and three guitars. I'm surprised that all my things fit in the trunk. Thank god on of the bell hop guys came over with the Cart. I don't think I would even want to take multiple trips back and forth. After getting everything settle with the front desk, I went to my room to unpack and settle in. The room was small but I've been in smaller rooms. But the view. My god. The most beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean. The sun glancing on the water. I just have to get a picture of the view before I leave.
~An Hour later~
For the past hour I was trying to write a new song. Just trying to get a head start on a new album. I have nothing. That's a lie. I had this nice chord progression going on but I didn't have the lyrics. I'm trying to stay away from the acoustic sound but it just sounds so perfect. It could work on electric but it wouldn't be the same. I snapped out of my thoughts when there was a knock at the door.
"Come in" I yelled at through the door not thinking twice.
I was still playing with the chord progressions till there was a hand tracing down my neck to my breast. I stopped playing when a pair of lips hit my neck. I let out a little giggle and turned to Keith.
"Took you long enough" I joked kissing him on the lips
"Hey it was your idea for telling me to take my time" he joked.
"I just don't want Jimmy to find out"
"He won't find out" he said into my neck starting to lift up my shirt, "and don't think of him. It's just you and me for now"
I smiled, "You're right"
~~~~~~~
"Jesus Keith, why did you throw me against the wall" I asked laughing lying in bed taking a drag from the cigarette we were splitting, "My back fucking hurts"
"I don't know really" he chuckled, "but fuck was that amazing"
"I really enjoyed it" I smiled and kissed him before getting up and putting on his shirt.
"Where do you think you're going?" He asked.
"Just to get this" I got out my camera and took a picture of him.
"What if Jimmy sees these?" He asked a bit scared.
"Remember, it's just me and you" I reminded him while sitting on him, "Let me see that smirk that you do"
"What smirk" he smirked and I took a photo.
"That right there" I laughed.
"You know" he took the camera from my hand, "I have the best view of Malibu"
"You're so corny" I laughed.
Keith took a couple pictures of me sitting on top of him. I unbuttoned a few buttons and teased him a bit. I'm actually glad that we are doing this. In all honesty I've had a crush on him since the day we met. I'm also incredibly shocked that this has actually gotten to this point. After Keith took some pictures he pushed me to my back. He took off the shirt I was wearing. I laughed as he took a couple more photos. Some of them I serious with and some I wasn't.
"My god Hazel you are beautiful" Keith randomly said, "You're body is just so, unbelievable."
"Even after having James?" I asked looking at my stretch marks, "I don't think so."
"Are you kidding me?" he laughed, "Fuck Hazel when you were pregnant you were like an angel."
"Thanks?" I asked questionably.
"What I mean is that you were incredibly beautiful not that you aren't now or ever were but there was something different. Like your face was extra glowing and just like an angel."
"Really?" I asked still shocked.
"Yeah. But now you're incredibly sexy." He smiled, "now come on let me take some gorgeous photos of you"
