We all climbed into a cab and rode to the river for Welcome To Rockville. There weren't enough seats so I sat on TJ's lap, with my legs across Mike, Craig and Monte, and my feet on Robert. Mike was drawing random shapes with his finger on my skin, Robert was picking at my shoes, Craig was pulling at the black fringe of my shorts. Monte was on his phone. "Monte, phone?" I said. "Sorry," He said, handing it to me. "No, no. Keep it. Just don't use it so much." I said. I felt TJ's hands slide into my butt pockets. "Woah, Teej." I smiled. "Sorry, it's just... Dat ass." He smiled. Monte silently high fived him. "You two... You're weird." I laughed. "But... You love us!" TJ said, smiling once more. "Yeah, you're right, I do." I said. He turned my face to look at his. "Why, hello there, beautiful." He laughed. "Hey there!" I giggled. "Can I has another good luck kiss? I think your first one wore off." He winked. He pulled my ear close to him. "A real one this time?" He asked, puckering his lips. I laughed,kissed his cheek, then gave him a quick peck. " Unfair! Where's mine?!" Mike demanded. "Right here," I smiled, getting up and giving him a peck on the corner of the mouth. My butt must've been in TJ's face because he was freaking the fuck out. I quickly sat in Mike's lap. "Payback!" I smirked. "I'm cool with it." He shrugged. I looked at Monte. "You're wondering where yours is?" I asked. "No, I'm just patiently waiting for it." He smiled. "That's what I like to hear,"I smiled. "Your wait is over." I finished, taking his face in my hands. "Nobody wants to see this!" TJ said. "Wrong, you just don't want to." Monte said. "Mike has a problem with it too." Mike spoke in third. I kissed Monte quickly, then sat back down on Mike. This was so difficult. They were all so nice. Monte, TJ, Mike... Craig was nice too, but he had a girlfriend and daughter. I didn't want to ruin that family.Monte and Mike were brothers and I didn't want to make something come between those two. TJ was nice and all, but... I dunno. He seemed like he would leave me the second something went wrong. TJ liked me though. I could tell because he wouldn't let any other guy near me unless he had to. Mike seemed to be somewhat interested... Monte, well heh, he already made that clear. I liked all of them. All three of those gorgeous men. I realized something right then. I had never really done anything with Mike. I thought about it for a second. "Hey Mike," my mouth said impulsively. "Come with me after we get out." I finished. "Okay." He agreed. We got out of the cab and paid for it a few minutes later. I pulled Mike back behind the busses. "Mike, uhm..." I started. He looked anxious. "Yes?" He bit his lip in a smile. "I, uhm... Just.." I couldn't figure out what to say, so I balled up his shirt into two fists and pulled him in close. Our lips touched; soft at first, then progressively it got rough. I let go of his shirt and wrapped my arms around his neck. His fingers found their way to my sides, and his thumbs slipped into my belt loops. He got closer. My back was against the side of a bus, not sure which, and his body was slowly stealing the space between me and him. His tongue traced my bottom lip. I opened my eyes, just enough to see if his were closed. They were. I closed mine again, and smiled into the kiss. Mike was so nice, and only 4 years older than me. I felt him pull away slowly, so I opened my eyes again. He smiled as my arms were still around him, and his fingers still at my hips. "What was that for?" He asked. "Mike, I really like you." I said flatly. "Awh, Caity, I- I don't know what to say. I mean, I like you too, but.... So does my brother. And TJ. I just don't know. You're really beautiful, and nice, and all... Wow." He trailed off. "Mike, it doesn't matter." I said. "What?" He asked, confusion nipping at his voice. "Life isn't fair. The others should know that." "If this is going where I think it is, then I dunno. Monte would literally kill me." "But Michael," I begged. "No, Caity. Try TJ. I'm sorry. Maybe if my freakin' brother didn't like you too." He said. "Okay.... We'll just be friends.... With benefits." I smirked. "Oh yeah. That would SO fly with Monte." He said sarcastically. "Okay, well... Maybe sometime in the future?" "Yeah, I'd like that." He smiled. "Caity! Mike! There you are!" Craig said, showing up out of nowhere. "Mike, I need you to help me with something; Cait, Monte and TJ want you. Not sure for what." He said. "Oh shit." I said, walking past him to see the two, side by side. "Hey guys." I said. "Hey hoe." TJ said. "What?" I asked. "Care to explain why Mike was THIS FUCKING CLOSE TO YOU?" TJ yelled, getting really close to my face."TJ." I choked, fear controlling my voice. "TJ, back up." Monte said. TJ backed away. Monte rushed up beside me. He got close to me too, but he was keeping his cool. He put his feet in between mine, and held my arms by the elbows. "Baby, what were you and my brother doing?" He asked, his voice calm and level. I looked into his eyes. I felt every part of my body go limp, and I collapsed in his arms. My gaze was still locked on his. As he was holding me up, my eyes filled with tears. "Caity?" TJ said. I buried my face in Monte's chest as the tears started to fall. Monte carried me to the closest bench, and sat down. I was pulled into his lap as he put his hand on my back. I could feel his fingers moving. "Everything's alright, sweetheart." He said. "Everything is okay." He said once more. He lifted my head up and wiped away the tears on my face. "Darling, you're way too beautiful to be crying like this. I don't like seeing you cry." He said as he fixed some of my makeup with his thumb. I slowly stopped crying. "There, now this is better. Are you okay?" He asked. I wanted to tell him everything. "Yeah. I'm fine. Nothing's wrong." I said, my voice shaky."Did TJ scare you?" He asked. "Yeah." I squeaked. "I'm sorry.... I'll try to talk to him about it... Uhm... Do you think you could answer me a question?" He asked. "Mhm." I nodded. "What were you and Mike doing?" He asked curiously. "Mmph.. Kissing..." I said quietly. "Oh." He said, his voice, irritated. "Don't be mad. It was my idea, not his." I said. "Caitlin, I like you. A lot more than I should." Monte breathed. "That's what I'm afraid if. You like me, TJ likes me, Mike likes me... Of course, Mike wouldn't do anything because he has so much respect for you..." I said. "Caity, do you remember that spark?" Monte asked, his gorgeous brown eyes wide. "Yeah. How could I forget? That was amazing." I tried to smile. "Maybe that was a sign. I'm not trying to point you into a certain direction, but you should really listen to your heart." He said. "Monte, thank you." I said. "No problem. Now, I've got a show to play. You're welcome to sit offstage, near me, if you'd like." He offered. "Thanks," I smiled. He put me on his back, and carried me to side stage, unsure if I could walk yet again. "Wish me luck, sweetheart." He said as he sat me down. I pulled his face next to mine and gave him the deepest, most caring, passionate kiss I've ever given to anybody. I pulled away and said "Good luck, Monte," and smiled as he took a final glance at me before heading onstage, and picking up a guitar. He began to play Massacre with the rest of the band. I think I knew what my heart was saying now. I smiled to myself once more as I sang along with the lyrics, and watched the band that I adored play a show.
