Somebody to love

Chapter 6: In the lap of the gods

The band came into the dressing room, chatting a lot and laughing. "Hey have you seen Jane?", Roger asked. "Of course it's you asking for Jane", Freddie teased. Roger rolled his eyes at him. "No but seriously have you seen her?", he asked. "No, Romeo I haven't.", Freddie said. Roger decided to ignore the 'Romeo'.

"Any of you guys?", he asked the others and they shook their heads no. After the others had gone to sleep, Roger was still sitting in the dressing room, cleaning up the makeup table a bit when he heard a quiet sobbing. He followed the sound and knocked at the door.

"Hello?", he asked but got no answer. He slowly opened the door and found Jane sitting on the floor, crying into her legs. "Jane!", he said surprised. "Here you are.", he said sitting down next to her. He laid his hand on her back. "What's wrong, love?", he asked concerned. Jane looked up from her legs and tried to hide her swollen face.

"I'd rather not talk about it", she said, tears in her voice. Roger could almost feel his heart shatter by the sight of Jane. He could not see her like that. He slowly laid his hand on her waist and pulled her into a hug. Jane started breathing slower and hugged him back. "Thank you", she whispered.
"For calming me on the flight some weeks ago and being there for me now."

Roger smiled. "Anytime love". Jane pulled back after some minutes and immediately turned her face away. She didn't want Roger to see her like this. Roger reached out his hand and softly turned her head back to him.

He softly caressed her cheek. "Who allowed you to be so beautiful when you cry?", he whispered which made her smile softly. Roger slowly leaned in a bit more and Jane knew what he was trying to do. So she closed the space between the two of them and kissed him.

Roger smiled into the kiss, he had never been so nervous before a kiss. When they pulled back, Jane smiled shaky. "I- Uhm I-", Jane tried to speak. Roger giggled a bit. "No need to be shy Jane. Or didn't you like it?", he sounded a little bit anxious. "No I liked it!", she said nervously. Roger smiled, cupped her face in his hands and kissed her again.

Suddenly all nervousness fell off Jane. She let her hand slide into his hair. "Why did we do that and why do I love it?", Jane whispered and giggled still very close to him. Roger giggled as well. "I don't know but wanna do it again?", he grinned. Jane bit her lip and nodded.

Jane woke up the next morning by the sun shining through her window. Or was it her window? No it certainly was not since she was laying in a foreign bed, being cuddled by a blonde shaggy drummer boy. She smiled and kissed his shoulder what made him warp his arms around her tighter.

Just a few moments later Roger woke up as well and groaned, turning away form the sunlight. "Good Morning, sunshine", she said smiling. Roger jerked and turned around to her.

"Oh god Jane it's you", he said relieved, kissing her forehead. "Sorry that sounds like I didn't expect you to be here but trust me I did! It's just when I wake up I get a little perplex and-", he was cut off by Jane saying: "Shh don't worry so much Rog. I'm pretty sure that yesterday didn't not mean anything" softly.

"Of course it meant something. God you make me so nervous I think I'm this close to a heart attack", he said caressing her cheek. She did the same and said: "I like you too", laughing a bit. "I know this question seems so odd to ask after what we just did but will you be my girlfriend?", he asked and he would've sworn he could feel his heart bumping right out of his chest.

With one hand on his chest, Jane could feel his nervousness so she whispered: "of course silly!". He smiled uncontrollably and kissed her softly. "One last thing", he added. Jane laid her head to the side. "You're an epic shag!", he said, empathising the word epic. Jane hit his shoulder and he laughed hysterically. "Watch it, Meddows!"

"You think they heard us yesterday?", Roger asked laughing a bit. "I don't think so. They have a tight sleep and we really kept quiet. At least as quiet as possible", Jane wiggled her brows making Roger laugh. "So you can be cheesy too", he realised. Jane rolled her eyes smiling. "Of course I can".

After some minutes of cuddling she stood up and took on her clothes she had left on a chair. "Hey! I was enjoying that view!", he said, playing offended. Jane threw Roger's pants into his face. "Stop being a cheesy bastard and take on some clothes", she giggled. Roger did so and they went out of his room together. Roger grabbed her by the waist, pulled her close and kissed her cheek and neck.

"Stop honey. The others might be awake too", she said trying to free herself form his grab. He laughed against her hair. "So?"
"I don't know if I wanna tell them yet", she said and turned around so she was facing him. "You know how they are"

Roger nodded understanding. "But they're still family", he threw in. Jane looked to the ground. "The closest thing I have", she whispered. Roger heard it and lifted her head apologising. "Sorry love. I didn't mean to"
"It's fine", she said and forced a smile. "Yes we'll tell them. I love the boys and they deserve to know that I shag the hot drummer boy"

Roger laughed proudly. "God you're driving me insane", he whispered just above a groan. "I know", she laughed.
