Why would I forget ? | Roger Taylor

36- Just Me

Continuation from last chapter :)

"Hiya darling." I took a seat beside Roger as Brian handed me a pint sat back down opposite me. Veronica and John were sat facing one another at the other end of the table, both smitten by each other. Freddie was sat beside Brian, smiling brightly as he waited to share the news with me.

"We've got a new manger, John Reid. Nice guy- you'll have to meet him soon." Freddie exclaimed.

"Oh that's great ! You kept that quiet." I smiled.

"Yeah well we met him for the first time today. Trust him to be late." Brian pointed at the blonde beside me as he rolled his eyes. I tried my hardest not to blush, not to glance over at him with that look I knew my eyes would have- I wasn't gonna spill the secret just yet.

"I wasn't that late." Roger murmured. I giggled a little, maybe a little too much, knowing I was the reason he was late.

"What was you even doing ?" John laughed. Roger turned to me, noticed my eyes on the floor, and just shrugged as a response to the question both me and him were struggling to avoid.

"Lost track of time."

"I'll tell you what he was doing... probably some girl from last night." Freddie added, chuckling as he pulled his pint away from his lips. I kept my eyes low to the floor, nervous of how to react when one of the boys finally realised I was the girl he was doing.

"I was actually... if you must know." Roger smirked smugly and leaned further back into his chair as Freddie's brows knitted with confusion. I started playing with the zip on my jacket, earning Brian's eyes fixed on my fingers as they fiddled with the silver.

"Who ? You literally just split with Lucy. Plus you shared a taxi with Tee... and just Tee wasn't it ?" John added. Him and Veronica looked at one another with confusion, both eager for an answer as to who Roger had spent the night with.

"Yeah just me." I replied, a small smirk pulling at my lips as I looked up from the floor and at the three boys opposite me. There was a brief second of silence between the five of us, one full of realisation. Veronica turned to me, the confusion drained from her expression as it flooded with realisation.

"Oh my fucking god... you two didn't. Did you ?" Brian asked. Freddie's eyes locked with mine, to which I responded with a very small nod as I bit down on my bottom lip. The bassists mouth fell open and Freddie chuckled a little, almost relieved.

"Didn't what Bri ?" Roger questioned smugly. I looked down and giggled, blushing a little with embarrassment.

"You did... you two slept together." The guitarist laughed. Everyone else seemed to be relieved, not one bit surprised. If there was any shock between them, it was because they were surprised it happened last night. I think they'd expected the two of us to avoid our feelings forever.

"Oh thank the fucking god above. There will be no more friend zoning, no more moaning from him, and no more bloody hiding feelings from her." Freddie put his hands together as if to pray. I turned to face Roger and chuckled as he dropped his head into his hands out of embarrassment.

"Moaning ?" I asked, smirking as the drummer beside me further sunk his face into his palms.

"Oh god darling, every time we saw him all he would do is complain. 'Oh but I wanna be with her Fred.' Or 'I don't wanna be her friend Freddie' or 'what should I even say to her?'. All he did was complain about not being with you." John and Brian laughed whilst Freddie further explained about how much Roger would complain.

"I knew you couldn't friend zone him for much longer." Veronica added.

"I could." I scoffed sarcastically.

"No you couldn't. I'm irresistible." Roger turned to face me, obviously smirking, focused on my lips as he spoke.

"Oh is that so Taylor ?"

"Yeah. It is." Roger cupped my face and pulled it up towards his own before placing a gentle kiss on my lips.

"Oh Jesus Christ. Get a fucking room you two... you've only shagged once." Freddie cried. The others all laughed as Roger let our lips unlock, turning to face the singer opposite rather than me.

"Twice actually."

"Thanks for that Roger." Brian rolled his eyes. I playfully jabbed the drummer beside me as he proudly sipped his beer, his head obviously full of memories from last night and this morning.

An- sorry this is a very short chapter, I hope the book is going on though ? thank you so much for reading :)

This part was kind of rushed, but it was still fun to write !
