A few months went by and Esther and I were home again, we recently moved to San Diego and we had a tour before we could unpack. I woke up in my own bed, ‘It’s been a while since I woke alone’ I thought to myself, I missed Vic. I got up and looked around my room, it was empty, too empty, I hated it. Honestly, I missed the tour bus. I walked over to the door and opened it, I started walking downstairs and I suddenly stopped, my phone went off. I looked at it and it was Vic. It was s text message that said ‘Good morning darling, I miss you.’ I smiled to myself and answered back. I continued to walk downstairs and into the living room, I sat down on the couch and grabbed my laptop. I opened it and signed onto to twitter, people were angry tweeting me about dating Vic, I didn’t care. I knew it was going to happen. It comes with the territory I supposed.
“Courtney!” I heard Esther yell from the kitchen, I closed my laptop and walked to the kitchen
“What is it?” I said turning the corner, I screamed and ran back around the corner.
They started laughing. “Darling, come here, I’m sorry” someone said and I peeked back around the corner. “V-Vic” I said walking back around the corner. He got up and nodded “What? You thought that was the last you were going to see of me? Or even us?” He said and I smiled.
‘Of course not’ I said and looked behind him and the other guys. Tony was on his phone, I’m sure he was on twitter or talking to Jaxin, knowing him, it was probably Jaxin. Mike was messing around with a drumstick he had with him, that I was confused about. Jaime was talking to Esther about the tour. I decided to ignore all this, as Vic grabbed my hand and pulled me into the living room.
“What’s going on?” I asked him, I was slightly concerned because he wouldn’t directly look at me. “Nothing….” The sentence trailed off, I stopped and pulled my hand away from his making him turn towards me. He looked shocked.
“No, Vic. What is wrong?” I said “I know something is, I know you.” I continued.
He looked down and pulled something out of his pocket. He looked up at me and smiled. He kissed me and slowly got on one knee. I covered my mouth with my hands, and my eyes filled with tears. He motioned for me to give my hand to him, I reached my hand slowly down so he could reach it, He took it and kissed it softly, and I let out a small squeal making the others come in. As they rounded the corner, they all stopped.
“Courtney, Will you marry me?” He asked me looking up at me and smiling, I noticed he was crying to. I looked down at him, Looked behind me to the others and mike nodded his head, I guess giving me his blessing. I looked back at Vic, “Of course!” I shouted and he slipped the ring on my finger. He picked me up and spun me around, we both were crying so hard. When he finally put me down, the others ran over to us and grabbed us into a hug.
Finally they let go.
“Finally, I can breathe!” I giggled. Vic still his arms around me, but he wasn’t holding so tight. I quickly got a sharp glare from Tony and Jaime and a slight laugh from Mike. Mike and I, we were close. Like brother and sister. So it works.
By this time, it was getting late. I told the guys they could stay over, because Mike and Tony were already drunk. I didn’t want Tony on another roof, and I sure as hell didn’t want mike arrested for doing something completely stupid. Mike and Tony could share the guest room we had, I mean there was a bed, their adult men; they can sleep on the same bed. I don’t care how they sleep, as long as they sleep. They didn’t really complain when I told them. Jaime was sleeping in Esther’s room. Vic was in mine of course. We were going to get up and they were going to help us decorate the house. They offered to help.
It was already super late, we were all in the living room, and I was lying on Vic’s lap. Mike and Tony were sitting on the floor playing on my laptop. Esther was sitting next to Jaime on the other couch and they were just holding hands. I threw a pillow from the couch at Mike and Tony; it hit Tony, when I was aiming for Mike. Tony rolled over looked at me and threw the pillow back, Hitting Vic instead. I busted out laughing and Vic rolled me off the couch onto the floor and hit me with it. Everyone laughed at us. Vic laid back on the couch and I got up and sat on him.
“You aren’t moving till I get revenge.” I said and started tickling him. I knew he was ticklish because he would flail about when I would come near his sides, and besides Mike told me. Eventually he pushed me off again and I rolled onto Tony and Mike’s legs. They didn’t mind since I was so small. They slowly got up letting me roll onto the floor. By this time everyone was laughing. I was lying on the floor dying of laughter. Jaime didn’t help when he leaned down and started tickling my feet. I started flailing around until Vic sat on my legs and allowing Jaime to continue.
“Stop it!” I yelled in between laughter. Tony and Mike decided to lie on the floor, one on each side of me. They held my arms down as Vic and Jaime tickled me. “Esther! Help me!” I screamed. She looked at me and smiled, “Okay!” She said and got next to mike, reaching over him to tickle my sides.
“Guys, Guys! Please! I’m begging you stop it!” I kept screaming. They looked at me and laughed. Vic stood up and Mike and Tony picked me and handed me to him. They looked at each and I yawned. I didn’t care what they were eyeballing each other about; I just wanted sleep, all that laughing and tickling made me sleepy. I leaned my head back and closed my eyes, I liked this feeling, falling asleep in his arms, but I felt him walking up the stairs. I knew where he was taking me so I kept my eyes shut as I fell into a deeper sleep slowly. I felt him gently laying me on my bed and lying down next to me. He would run his fingers through my hair as I snuggled up to him and he wrapped his arms around me.
“Good night my sweet, I love you.” He whispered in my ear and he leaned his head back and we both fell asleep.
