Muscially Engaged. (Tommy Joe Ratliff FanFic)

Chapter 18| Secrets.

"Wooh!! Tommy!!" I yelled watchig a drunk Tommy standing on the table dancing around.

Adam, Monte and Isaac ran around and screamed. I was sober, but I did have a couple drinks.

Tommy started to get sexier with the dance, Adam joined him. He yanked on his hair and pulled his hips onto him.

Tommy just kept dancing around. I laughed until finally, we all collapsed onto the floor.

I breathed heavily just like everyone else.

"Tommy you should be a stripper." I said hearing him laugh. Everyone else laughed too. We continued go just lay there for a while.

I finally decided that I wasn't going to sleep on the floor. I went upstairs quietly, not wanting to wake the boys.

I stood to my feet in the darkness. I slowly walked up the steps before feeling a hand on mine. I turned around to see Adam.

"Hi Adam. I was just going to bed." I whispered, looking into the living room to make sure that everyone was still asleep.

"I was wondering if, I could...um...sleep with you? Not like that, just sleeping like snoring." I admit, he was really cute when he was embarrassed.

I nodded and he followed me upstairs. I climbed into the bed. Adam right behind me.

I snuggled into the pillows, before he snuggled into me. It was different from what I felt when Tommy snuggled into me.

"Goodnight," he whispered before we gently fell asleep.

Tommy's POV:

I woke up alone without Adam or Charley beside me. I walk around the house trying to find Charley and Adam. I walk upstairs and find the sleeping soundily in the bed.

I cringe at the sight. I thought she liked me, I guess I was wrong. I walked back downstairs. I sat there in silence for a moment.

After about 15 minutes, Adam came down. I smiled at him and acted like nothing was wrong.

"Are you guys ready to go home?" Adam asked. I shook my head no. I wanted to stay and talk to Charley, alone.

"Charley can take me home, it's okay." I said, smiling. They all left. I went upstairs where Charley sat in the bed.

She sat there, in pure silence. I watched her stand and take off the shirt she was wearing a slip a beautiful short dress over her slim body.

God, she was so beautiful.

I snuck up behind her, she saw me in the mirror. I smiled at her.

"Can I ask you about something?" I asked. She nodded.

"Why was Adam sleeping with you last night?" She knew how I felt. She knew I was jealous.

"Tommy, he just asked me if he could stay and I said yes. We came up here and went to bed." She said, applying some light foundation on her face.

"I should have known." I said, just above a whisper.

She stood up.

"What should you have known Tommy?" She asked.

"He likes you."

"Tommy, he bats for the other team. He doesnt like me. And even if he did, whats so bad about that?" She said, starting to raise her voice.

"Charley. Adam likes you. And I'm not okay with that."

"Why? Are you saying that you think something wrong with me?"

"Oh my god. No. Dont put words in my mouth."

"Talk to me and I wont have to imagine whats going through your head." She said, inching closer to me. Her face directly below mine. All I wanted to do was kiss her. To feel her tender lips. But I kept my ground.

"Dammit, I like you Charley. I like you with everything I have. I would give you the world if I could. I'm just jealous but, I want to be the one you wake up next to every single morning. Dont you see that?" I yelled, startling her a little bit.

I gently leaned towards her but she backed away.

"Why can't you face it, admit that you like me. I know you do Charley," I said, watching her lean against the table.

She said nothing.

"Why can't you just kiss me, and tell me that you love me. You are torturing me." I said, just before starting to walk down the stairs.

"I have cancer Tommy."
