"Are you ready to go dear?" Tom asked me. I was in the bathroom getting ready for his movie premier. Of course I couldn't go as his date, but I still could go as his PA.

"Yes sir. I am." I said putting in my earring. He stuck out his arm and I wrapped mine around his feeling his strong arm under mine.

"I love you Ali." He said looking at me.

"And I you."

"You always say that."

"Say what?"

"You never respond I love you too. It's always and I you or I love you more. Why is that?" He asked me.

"I never tell you that I love you too because everybody says that. And I feel like it is easier to say that without meaning it." I said locking my eyes onto his. "It does not mean that I love you any less. If anything it means I love you more than the average bear."

"Not possible." He said tilting my head up and placing a small kiss on my lips. He pulled away but not far enough, obviously teasing me. Then he let go of my arm and walked out of the flat.

"You little bastard..." I said under my breath.

"Hey I heard that." He said peaking his head back out at me.

"I am going to get you!" I said taking off the pumps that I was wearing.

"Oh really." He said looking at me with his famous smirk. "I dare you."

"Okay." I grabbed the shoes and started running at him. He realized that I was serious and started running. He took off down the stairs an I ran after him skipping two steps at a time. We ran through the lobby ignoring the shouts of the other tenants. I was finally gaining I on him I reached out and grabbed his hand pulling him back into me. He was facing me now. "I love you." Before he could reply I pushed us together and placed my lips on his waiting for him to deepen the kiss. Our lips were moving in perfectly sync with each other. Until I heard a camera shudder.

"Shit..." He said pulling away from me. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me with him to the limo that apparently he had rented. He pushed me in first and told the driver to drive. We arrived that the theater. There were throngs of girls screaming as he got out of the car. He helped me out and I followed behind him. Cameras were taking pictures of him posing with the other cast members of the movie. Soon he finished with pictures and went to the girls. I smiled at seeing him so alive when he was with them. He signed shirts and pictures and even took selfies with the girls. A bell rang from inside the theater and he came back to where I was standing.

"Okay. That is done." He said letting out a deep breath. "I love seeing them but I always forget how tiring it is."

"Well you looked great. You are too nice."

"Ahh. Thank you my dear." We walked into the theater side by side and sat down in the very first row. I had gotten somewhat used to being around celebrities and always tried to be myself, but being around this much of a crowd with him made me feel small. I knew I was a part of something bigger but I still felt that familiar feeling of anxiety creep up into my throat. I knew he could tell because he grabbed my hand and squeezed. The movie began to play, it was scary from the beginning. I slowly crept closer and closer to him squeezing his hand until I was sure I had cut off his circulation to it. When it was over I was sure I wasn't going to be able to sleep that night. We walked out of the theater and he visited with some more of his fan base. I stood by the pillar reflecting on the day. I had kissed him. He had kissed me. I had told him that I loved him. He told me that he loved me. I had to hide the man I love.  Or more likely he had to hide me.

"Okay my dear. Are you ready to go home?" He said coming back over to me. I nodded my head and we went over to the car. The sound of cameras in the distance. We both got into the backseat and I cuddled up next to him digging my chin into his neck. "Stop it. That tickles." He said chuckling.

"Oh." I said lifting my head. "You are ticklish?"

"No." He said looking away from me.

"Yes you are! Oh my god you are so ticklish aren't you?" I say away from him and watched him look out the window. A small smirk covered his face and the twinkle in his eye came back. He looked at me.

"I know what you're planning and I am not going to let it happen." He said giving me his death stare.

"Really? How?"

"I'm not going to let you catch me."

"Hmm. We'll see." I looked out my window and laughed. The limo stopped and I got out first. Tom slowly lifted himself up.

"Okay let's do this the fair way. Take off your shoes. You take the elevator, I'll take the stairs and whoever gets there first wins." I began to take off my heels and nodded my head in acceptance.

"Deal."

"On your mark. Get set. Go!" He took of ahead of me and I ran into the lobby. He took off toward the stairs and went to the front desk.

"Is there a faster way to get up to 13 without the stairs?"

"You can take the utility stairs." The man at the front desk told me pointing behind him.

"Great thanks!" I said running behind the desk. I ran skipping steps to get up first. 9,10,11,12 and finally 13. I opened the door from the stairs and looked around. He wasn't there yet. I went into the kitchen and began to boil some water and pull out teabags when he came bursting into the room. "Heyo!" I said waving at him.

"Damn." He cursed under his breath.

"Okay. I win."

"You got me! How the hell did you get here before me? And make tea." He exclaimed. I poured the hot water into the cups and handed him one.

"Utility stairs." I said pointing.

"Damn."

"Punishment time!" I said moving toward him with my arms outstretched.

"No. Nono..." He pleaded. "Anything else."

"Nope. I need to know all your tickle spots." He tried to distance himself from me running around the couch and the dining table. I ran after him, finally catching him I put my foot in front of his and fell gently on the floor. He groaned and put his hands up in front of his face. I sat on his stomach and ran my fingers all over his body tickling him like crazy. He was howling with laughter and tears almost coming out of his eyes.

"No. Ali stop!" He cried. "Ali!" Ali stop!" He yelled still laughing. I stopped for a couple seconds.

"Man... You weren't kidding. You are ticklish like nobody's business." I said sitting back oh his waist.

"Yeah. That is why I needed to win that race."

"Well I find myself in a very difficult situation. I can either continue with this fun and tickle you to death or... I can take advantage of this little position we have here and kiss you. Which would you prefer?" I said counting on my fingers.

"I would like number two please." He said desperation in his eyes.

"Okay reluctantly I agree with you." I lowered myself so I was just centimeters away from him. I could feel his breath on my cheek; I wanted to kiss him so badly but I knew I needed payback for what he did earlier.

"Oh no ya don't." He said obviously frustrated.

"What's wrong?" I said mock surprise clear on my face. I say back up so that he could no longer see me.

"You know what's wrong."

"What? I seriously don't know what is going on." He sat up and looked me in the eyes.

"Fine. I see. Karma it sucks doesn't it. I guess I will just have to indulge you." He leaned for ward and kissed me. A passionate kiss, a kiss that was full of longing. I pushed him back so that he was laying in the floor wrapping my arms around his neck and playing with his hair. I got off his waist and laid next to him still holding him. "I love you." He said looking at me.

"I love you more." I said locking my eyes on his.

"I love you most."
