As for the celebrity James Marsters, this did not happen. I have never met him. (Although one day I would like to change that.) This story is NOT REAL and is just from my imagination. I just have a huge thing for him. So once again NOT REAL.
All characters in this story are 18 and older.
With everything being said please enjoy the story...
It all started at a Comic Con-like convention. You know the ones where you finally get to have all your dreams come true! Meeting your idols, the ones you grew up watching play your favorite superhero or villain. Or maybe just the super awesome sidekick who in their own right was a star. Seeing people really getting to express themselves and not caring what others think. Actually, the more elaborate the costume the better.
Well, this was going to be Jessica's first convention. Jessica was so excited to be going. James Marsters was going to be there, most famous for playing Spike on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. Why she had never thought to go to one before was beyond her. It's not like she hadn't ever thought about it.
Since she was planning on staying the night because of all the activities she had heard that go on after each day she and her friends booked rooms at a spot that was within walking distance to the convention. Along with her for the ride were her best friend Javis and some of his other friends who were huge fans of past conventions.
The inside was amazing! Entering the convention hall was like being transported to another world. All the different booths you could go to for the art, storytelling, or one-of-a-kind items of your favorite fantasy world. It was like creativity blew up inside and there were no walls in sight. You were allowed to expand and stretch your mind as much as you wanted.
Finally in line with the 'golden ticket' so to speak, Javis by her side. He knew how important this moment was for her. Plus, he's not going to lie. He wanted to meet him too. They have been Buffy freaks since the end of time. For some reason, she made the rash decision of having James sign the only paper copy she'd made of her book 'Annabelle' that she had just finished and was looking to get published. The main man was portrayed as who she thought James was. So why not have him sign something that meant the world to her? James and this book were the things that sat on a pedestal in her mind at the moment. Although James didn't usually have to share that seat.
Jessica removes herself from the many, many thoughts she has buzzing around her mind at the moment as she hears Javis's voice. "Are you going to cry?" He asked me jokingly.
She smiles back at him. "I might. But I don't want to remember this moment as a blubbering mess so here is to keeping it together." She raises her hand with crossed fingers. "Wait maybe I should pray as well. Or would that counteract it?"
Javis laughs. "Just breathe. I've heard that James is awesome with his fans. Takes time to connect. He'll think you're adorable." Javis gives her a reassuring smile.
The line inched up closer and closer one by one her heartbeat seemed to get faster. Somehow throbbing everywhere in her body. "Breathe," Javis tells her.
As we were the next in line to meet him. To center herself better her eyes slid shut and for a moment all the noise and commotion went away. The image of a deserted beach comes forth. The sound of the ocean waves came through her ears. She was wearing a beautiful flowing white dress. Then she felt arms wrapped around her, and she leaned back into the man's arms. His head then nuzzles into her neck, and you see his face. It's the same man that we are waiting in line for. She's used this image so many times before to calm herself down, and just like normal it works like magic. A moment later she opened her eyes.

Javis turns and looks at me with a big smile. "Come on we're next!"
I walked up slowly, giving Javis his moment with him. Taking pictures and signing his item ending with a half hug and handshake. James motioned Jessica to come forward. Again, she walked slowly, it seemed to be the only thing keeping her steady, looking normal as she came to face him. She couldn't help but break out into a huge smile and wrap her arms around his neck. His arms wrapped around her, and it felt like heaven.
The release from each other was like things were in slow motion. Her hands were lying on his shoulders, his on my hips. "May I touch you?" I asked in hopefully a voice only he could hear.
Their eyes were in a lock. "Yes." He simply answered.
Her hand slowly moved from one of his shoulders, fingertips scanning his forehead before they ran down the side of his face, then cupping the side of his face and chin. Her thumb softly smoothed over his bottom lip. His eyes closed, bringing up one hand to cover lightly over hers as if he wasn't quite ready to have her hand leave just yet. "I've always wanted to do that." Her head leaned down a blush now on her cheeks with a smile. "Well, more than just that but it's the only appropriate thing on my list."
Removing our bodies apart from each other. "Is that right?" James replied with a flirt in his voice.
"Yeah, in fact, I wrote a whole book about it." Pulling the book from her bag. "I'd like you to sign it.
"If I sign it how am I supposed to read it?" he questioned her.
Catching her a bit off guard. Thinking on her feet. "If I give it to you, I'll never get it back."
He smiles at her. "Tom, can you come here a moment." Not taking his eyes off Jessica as he called for his security.
A moment later a large man walked up next to James. "Yes, Mr. Marsters. What is it that you needed?"
Turning to speak to Tom. "Can you make sure that..." he turns to me. "I'm sorry love I haven't got your name yet."
I smile at him. "Jessica." Thinking '
But you can call me anything you want.'
