"I kiss his fingertips
As I'm wishing he's all mine
He's giving me Elvis
With some James Dean in his eyes
Puts his lips on my neck
Makes me want to give him my body
I be fallin' for you, baby
And I just can't stop"

The lyrics had come to you in the midst of your activities last night and you just had to get them out and get them recorded. After picking the perfect beat the flow followed right behind it. Eric had been on his phone when the music started but quickly lost interest when your voice played through the microphones. His eyes shone as the words clicked in his brain. He looked happy.
As you're finishing the song you see him snap a picture and look at him questioningly until he shows you. You nod that it's cute and then you see a tag pop up from insta.

flawless, perfection, godess @summersarian

You can't help but smile at the picture and quote that he did about you. You repost to your insta and finish up the track. It turned out so much better than you could've imagined and you knew this was going to be the first track of the upcoming album. Since you were done recording the song you had to get out of your system it was time to move on to the next adventure of the day.

"We should do something fun today"
You looked at Eric questioningly as he drove down the road going no where particular. "What did you have in mind?" You took in his image. One hand on the steering wheel, the other on your thigh. It was comforting but it was hard to focus on much of anything else. He looked so good.
"I don't know honestly." He was fighting to keep a smile from his face. "You know what. Let's do something with this mane."
He ran his fingers loosely through his hair. The skin where his hand once was now felt cold.
"Yeah, like what?" You were intrigued now and interested in what he was thinking.
"Let's bleach it like super light. Maybe even silver." This was something that he has been thinking about a lot because he seemed to be talking himself into it. You know he loves anime and this was inspired by one of his favorites.
"Let me call up my girl. I don't want to mess up your hair and she's the best." You immediately started texting her but you knew she'd pull through and you trusted her with your life because that's what your hair was to you.

"Oh my God, babe. It looks so good!" You instantly blushed at the slip that came through your lips and complimented Ashley on the great job she did to ignore what just happened.
Eric loved it and that made everything even better. You snapped a couple pics for his insta and he was so fine. It fit him.

"Do you want to go out tonight?" Eric's voice cut through the blank air apprehensively once Ashley had left. He knew your eye was still bruised but he also knew that you liked going to the parties.
"I'll do whatever you want to do" he followed up when you didn't speak for a moment.
"I think I might like that." It would be good to see your friends again.

Once you were done getting ready you walked out into the living room where Eric was sitting on the couch looking at his phone. He looked up and then his eyes were glued to you. You had your hair curled and half pulled back into a high pony. You were wearing a grey crop top with a black and white plaid mini skirt and white knee high stockings and white pumps.
He slowly stood up and you smirked at the effect you had on him. As he walked over to you and you looked up to him as innocently as you could. You were make sure this would be fun.
"Do I look okay?" You batted your eyelashes.
"You're sexy as fuck, babe." His voice was gravely as he picked you up and wrapped your legs around his waist. "Babe?" You thought just as his lips connected with yours. He threw you on the bed and you couldn't help but giggle at the excitement. It was fun being with him. It was easy. You grabbed his hand and put it to your throat just as he was leaning in to kiss you again.
"Squeeze that shit."
Instantly, his kisses went from passionate to ravenous.

Pulling into Eric's driveway you could hear the music thumping from inside the house. The two of you decided on his house this time just for "safety" purposes. Aristos and Scott were waiting on the opportunity to see Ricky again but you knew Eric or Brennan or never let him in the house to begin with. He kissed you before getting out and you saw his eyes dart down to your throat quickly before making a stressed face.
"You didn't" you pulled the visor down and looked in the mirror. "Eric...." You sighed and rolled your eyes but couldn't keep the smile off your lips.
"What?" He asked innocently. "Pay back" and got out with a wink.
Walking into the house you already see Leah sitting on the couch with Taddie as you had invited everyone and gave a quick wave and a hug once she made her way over to you.
"Finally! Looks like you two were having some fun." She turned your face away from the mark on your neck. "Too much fun, huh?"
"A girls gotta live" you said with a shrug.
"Good to see you again, Eric" she said warmly. You liked that she liked him.
"You too. Glad you could make it." He returned the smile before looking down at you. "Can I get you a drink, Sum?"
"Yes, please. Anything strong." He kissed your forehead before walking towards the kitchen. Just as Aristos walked over with the widest grin you've ever seen on someone.
"What's up beautiful ladies it's so good to see you two!"
"Hey there Ruby" Leah smiled.
"So good to see you again!" You say as you wrap an arm around him in a side hug.
"How's your eye, sweetheart?"
"It's better. Thank you for everything honestly."
"Anything for you, cutie'"
"Here you go, babe" Eric was beside you with a cup of what looked to be jack and coke. He seemed to have a solemn look on his face.
"Thanks!"
"So what have you been up to man?" Eric didn't seem to be interested but was keeping the conversation going anyways. Was he jealous?
"Mixing some new songs and got a new album coming together." You had zoned out and missed some of the conversation. You didn't mind Eric being jealous but not worried about anything. He definitely knows Aristos better than you do but still. You weren't going to push him this time but you weren't happy about it. You stood slightly behind him and rested your head against his arm until you heard your name being called.
You turn to see a smiling Andy walking up to you. He wraps you in a giant hug and his familiar scent envelops you in a comforting, short lived, bubble.
"How's your eye?" He gently pulls away from you and looks at your bruise at eye level. The bruise was fading and was barely noticeable with makeup on which you were so thankful for.
"Healed practically. You doing good?" You were happy to see him and he seemed happy to see you too.. until his saw the mark on your neck and his eyes flashed to Eric.
"I'm doing good. Keeping busy?" You picked up on his tone change almost immediately and it made you sad. You didn't want to keep breaking each other's heart but you also wanted to try and move on. You and Andy have tried multiple times to be together and the pieces never seemed to fall into place at the right time.

You were scrambling for an excuse and maybe an apology about the hickey right before a blonde walks up beside Andy from behind.
"Here you go, jack and coke." She passed him the cup and turned her attention to you.
"Thank you, Charlotte. Summer this is Charlotte. Charlotte, Summer." He introduced you two but definitely seemed uncomfortable. Everything was a little weird between the both of you.
"Oh my god! I've heard so much about you Summer but I didn't think I'd actually get to meet you!"
She was being super nice but it just didn't feel "real" ya know? It was the same girl from the other party.
"Yeah..same" you lied without even much effort. Before there could be any more awkwardness Eric was beside you again.
"Hey man." He greeted Andy with a smile. "Mind if I steal her away a minute?"
You turned to him as they walked away.
"You're a little jealous aren't you?" You asked playfully. You weren't good with just pushing stuff down and it normally didn't stay hidden for long.
"I can't help it with such a sexy woman."
He spun you around and the two of you laughed as the night was just beginning.
