True Love Found Back In Time

Chapter 3: Meeting The Guys and Maybe A New Member

Brooklyn's pov.
We got home from the mall around 3 o' clock or so, put all my new clothes, shoes, and necessities in Tom's room since we are now together. We cuddled on the couch for a while just watching TV and sneaking a few kisses here and there. We sat in a comfortable silence until Tom broke it.

Tom: I'll be right back I need to get something from the room.
Brooklyn: Okay babe.

He got up from the couch, went to our room, and came back 2 seconds later with something behind his back. I was focused on the Tv when I felt the couch dip and he was sitting right next to me, he gave me a small rectangular box, and I gave him a confused look.

Tom: I know that I asked you to be my girlfriend last night but, inside this box is a small gift to make our relationship official.
Brooklyn: Awww Tom y-you didn't have to get me anything <she said getting teary eyed> all I need is you.
Tom: I know but I want you to have a special thing in your life princess.

I look at Tom with tears in my eyes, I open the jewelry box to reveal a silver charm bracelet with a microphone, music note, and a guitar charms on it. I look back at Tom to see him smiling, I jump into his arms to give him the biggest hug and the most passionate kiss ever. When we pulled away, he laughed the cutest laugh ever.

Tom: I'm guessing you like your gift?
Brooklyn: Like it? Tom I love it it's beautiful!
Tom: Want me to put it on you?
Brooklyn: Yes please.

So he took the bracelet out of the box, stuck out my right wrist towards him, and he clasped the bracelet on my wrist. We made out for a while until I almost forgot to ask him a very important question.

Brooklyn: Babe, how are you going to introduce me to the guys?
Tom: Don't worry about it babe, I'll just introduce you as my roommate, so we won't be as close as we are now, no pet names also, so that way they won't suspect anything.
Brooklyn: Okay, and how are we going to explain to them how we met?
Tom: Relax, they know that I've been looking for a roommate for a while so we'll just tell them that we met last week at a coffee shop down the street, you we're also looking for a roommate as well and that's how we met and if they ask about the bracelet just say it that it was a going away gift from your family or whatever excuse you can come up with.
Brooklyn: Sounds good.

We cuddled on the couch for a little while until we finally decided it was time to eat something for dinner. We ate some of his leftover homemade pizza, which was delicious by the way. 7 o' clock came around and his band mates/best friends came over to hang out. We got along well and they wanted to just jam for a while.

Brooklyn: Hey you guys mind if I jam with y'all?
<they all look at her in shock> <Tom tries to hold back a laugh>
Jeff: How well can you play?
Brooklyn: <raises her eyebrows> Tom can I use one of your guitars please?
Tom: Sure have at it.

I smirk as I pick up one of his guitars and played the guitar solo 'Somebody Save Me' and their mouths dropped to the floor.

Eric, Jeff, and Fred: Damn.
Tom: Yeah you can jam with us Brooklyn.

So we played a few songs and may have had a guitar battle amongst Tom, Jeff, and I. Tom and Jeff went first (Tom won round 1) then the winner of round 1 would battle against me which was very close but I swept Tom. I excused myself to go to the bathroom.

Tom's pov.
I can't believe my own girlfriend beat me in a guitar battle, 'oh she's going to get it tonight'. I was broken out of my thoughts by Eric.

Eric: Okay she is amazing and can play like hell.
Jeff: Yeah I agree she'd be a great asset to the band I mean she's got the vocals and she's got badass guitar skills which will help us increase our volume and attract the audience more.
Eric: Agree, Tom I know we said that Cinderella will always be the four of us and last nights show was amazing as always but the audience looked bored so if we add another member to the band it will be a hell of a show.
Tom: I agree she would be an asset only thing I'm worried about is her age because she's not 21 yet.
Eric: How old is she?
<Tom was about to answer when he was cut off>
Brooklyn: I'm 18.

Brooklyn's pov.
I just got out of the bathroom and was about to walk into the living room when I heard Jeff talking about me joining the band, Eric agreed with Jeff, Tom was telling them how he's worried about my age, Eric asked how old I was, and that's when I finally made my presence known.

Brooklyn: I'm 18.
Eric, Fred, and Jeff: Seriously <they said in shock and not in anger>
Tom: How much of the conversation did you hear?
Brooklyn: More than enough to hear what Jeff was saying about me wanting to join the band. <she said trying to hide a smirk> <Tom discreetly looks at Brooklyn with a look> <she sends him a look telling her she's got this> Yeah I uhm I ran away from home about two weeks ago, I was living out on the streets, I saw an ad in the paper that someone was looking for a roommate, and that's how I met Tom at a coffee shop.
Jeff: Damn that sucks.
Tom: So what do you say, you want to be our third guitarist for Cinderella?
Brooklyn: Hell yeah I want to join the band but, I will tell you this I'm not that good with acoustic guitar because I'm more of an electric guitar girl.
Tom: That's okay as long as you can play like you did in the guitar battle then you're in.

We hung for a while until the guys decided to head home. Once they left Tom decided to break the silence.

Tom: Did you really runaway from home?
Brooklyn: Of course not you're the only one that knows the truth that I time traveled here, besides if you were to tell the guys that you traveled to the future, would they have believed you?
Tom: No they would've laughed at me or thought I was crazy.
Brooklyn: Exactly <she walks towards him and snakes her arms around his neck while his arms encircle her waist> so what's my reward for beating you in the guitar battle?
Tom: Oh you want a reward don't ya <he smirks, leans down like he's going to kiss her, picks her up by her thighs, and leads them to the couch> here is your reward.

He starts to tickle my sides causing me to laugh. After a few minutes, I found myself laid down on the couch, on my back, and him on top of me caressing my cheek. We kissed until we saw how late it was and we were both tired so we decided to get some sleep. I'm gonna like living in the 80s.
