Unexpected

Sheppard

Mark's POV

"Here we go again" I groaned to myself as we pulled into the car park for the convention. Don't get me wrong I loved them, and really appreciated the fans coming to meet me, but it was the same people who followed us around the country and they were all just the same, turn up, pose for photos, smile for the fans and go home. 

"Mr Sheppard you're photo ops are at 12:05" a crew member told me, I just nodded, it was quarter to 11, I would sign a few autographs before I had to go. 

We made our way to the green room, a few of my fellow cast members were there as well as stars from other shows I had gotten to know due to going to these conventions. I made a cup of tea and socialised before we had to go out onto the floor. 

We shared funny and creepy stories of fans we'd met in the past, a lot of fans were lovely and understood boundaries but some were slightly off the rails. I'd had one before who couldn't seperate me from Crowley and was begging me to make her a demon. Then, of course, there was meeting my wife, I never imagined I would marry a fan but the day I saw her at the convention I just had to know her more. However, once other fans found out how we met it made them think I was game to go home with any fan who turned up and fluttered their eyelashes. Which don't get me wrong I lapped up the attention but that was definitely not the case. There had never been another girl at a convention that stood out to me the way my wife did. Yet.

I headed out to the main hall and took a seat at my autograph table. There was already a queue waiting to meet me. I slowly saw every fan in the queue, making time for each one and not rushing, they had paid to meet me and I was not one of those who signed the photo and sent them on their way, I liked to chat with them and get to know my fans. 

12:00 came around quickly and it was time to go for my photo ops. That's when I saw her. As I passed through the crowds, a young girl caught my eye, she looked so sweet and innocent but there was a twinkle in her ridiculously blue eyes that I knew meant she was far from either of those. I bit my lip as I took in her appearance, she was wearing a tight leather burgundy skirt with a black turtleneck tucked in, her figure was unreal and her light brown hair seemed to fall so naturally, she wore make up but little enough that I knew she didn't need it. She was laughing at something and her smile was enough to bring a man to his knees. I felt a wave of disappointed as a male came into view, kissing her cheek and holding her against him. In that moment I wanted to be him. What was I thinking I was a happily married man and hadn't even met this girl, she might have the worst personality and the most annoying voice, I scolded myself. But I knew full well, that everything about her was perfect. She never noticed me staring, or almost walk into a wall as I couldn't take my eyes off her. 

I posed for over a hundred photos all while in a daze, I couldn't shake this girl from my head. I had to know her. 

"Mr Sheppard are you okay?" the photographer asked, I glanced around. My queue had long since ended and I was still stood there. 

"Yes" I replied embarrassed "Sorry" and I hurried back to my autograph table, escorted by a couple of security. 

"Hey how was it?" my manager asked as I pulled out the chair. 

"Okay as usual" I smiled and took my seat, I glanced up and saw her, standing a few feet away with her boyfriend, our eyes met and I suddenly became nervous, quickly distracting myself by signing some more autographs. I noticed her join the queue, she was here to see me, I couldn't believe it, I caught her eye again and smirked, she was nervous I could tell.

There was one person in front of her and the girl wouldn't stop talking, I just wanted her to go away so I could talk to the beauty behind her. I didn't let that show though, she was a valued fan too. 

Once I had finished signing a picture for the girl in front, I looked up and almost drowned in her eyes as she walked towards me. 

"Hello little thing" I greeted, the first thing that came to my head, I wasn't the tallest but she really was petite. She just smiled.  "What can I do for you?" I asked and immediately regretted my choice of words because there were several things I wished she would say, none of which appropriate for the environment we were in. 

"Can I have a selfie please?" she asked and by the blush on her face, I suspected she had been having similar thoughts which made me want her even more.

"Of course" I said, she was breathing heavily and her voice was slightly shaky, I couldn't believe this beautiful creature was being affected by me in such a way. I stood from my chair and walked around the table. I could see her boyfriend watching me as I placed an arm around her shoulder. "Is your boyfriend coming to take it or are you?" I asked, scolding myself for sounding like a petulant child but I couldn't help it. The testosterone was flowing.

"Can you?" she asked, handing me her phone with a shaky hand.

"You want me to take it?" I asked "Do you think your boyfriend will mind this?" I added pulling her closer so our cheeks were touching, I could feel her breath and it was driving me insane, she smelt incredible and I had to swallow a growl that was threatening to fall out. She shook her head but I could tell by the look on his face he had a problem with her meeting me full stop, I posed for the photo regardless, she smiled but it wasn't as natural as the one I saw earlier, it was a nervous smile. She was nervous around me. "How about this?" I asked, planting a kiss on her cheek and taking another photo. I couldn't help myself I had to live in the moment and I wanted to kiss her badly. She was shocked I could tell but didn't pull away. 

"I'm sure he'll have something to say" she replied after we'd pulled away

"I'm sure he'll get over it" I smiled, before glancing across and winking at her boyfriend, he looked pissed. I returned to my seat and handed her phone back. "Check you like the pictures" I instructed, I could see her smile as she checked through them, but she also glanced back at her boyfriend, she was worried she would be in trouble, part of me felt bad but I was so glad I had done it. 

"Yeah they're great thank you" she smiled.

"Are you here all weekend?" I asked hopefully.

"No just for the day" she replied and I immediately felt disappointed.

"That's a shame" I replied running my fingers through my beard. she looked confused. "you could come back tomorrow and get another kiss without getting in trouble" I explained which caused her to blush more and me to melt slightly. "You are just the cutest" I chuckled and I wasn't lying, although I didn't mean puppy dog cute, I meant I want to rip your clothes off and throw you around cute.

"Well I best go face the music" she sighed "Thank you"

"Wait" I replied grabbing her hand, we both glanced down at our hands and at each other, there was no ignoring the way my skin tingled at her touch and by the look on her face I knew she felt it too "Sweetheart I didn't even get your name".

"Call me whatever you like" she replied removing her hand from mine "I'm just another face in the long line of girls you have charmed today" and she walked away. She couldn't have been more wrong, she was definitely not just another face.

Her boyfriend did not look happy. But I really didn't care, she was stunning and he should be used to men showing her attention. I had such an uneasy feeling as she walked away. I was never going to see her again, that was not okay with me.
