The next morning I rolled over and Vic was still peacefully sleeping. Our hands were still together. I remembered falling asleep on his chest and I smiled to myself, I loved him dearly. Everything about him made me happy. I looked down at my hand hoping that last night wasn’t a dream. It wasn’t, the ring was on my finger. It was rather pretty. The emerald was in the shape of a heart, He remembered my favorite shape, which made me smile. He somehow also knew that I hated gold, so the band is silver, It has the words ‘I love you’ engraved on the inside. I snuggled back up to him kissing his cheek; this slightly woke him up, but he let go of my hand and wrapped his arms around me and I closed my eyes drifting to sleep again.
Suddenly I heard the door swing open which woke me up again. I kept my head down trying to show them that we were still asleep.
“Ugh, damn it guys, Wake up!” Jaime shouted jolting us both awake. Vic sat up in a hurry and I rubbed my eyes, trying to not be grumpy.
“Jaime, why would you do that?” Vic said annoyed. “Never do that! If the door is shut it means we are still asleep!” He continued and hit Jaime in the head with a pillow.
“Vic, Shut it, we have a problem!” Jaime shouted. I sat up and looked up at him “Stop screaming!” I said annoyed. They both looked at me and nodded.
“What is it?” Vic asked holding me.
Jaime sighed and looked at me and then back at Vic. I’m assuming that Vic understood what his meant because Vic covered my ears.
I looked at Jaime and then back to Vic, I couldn’t hear it very well, but I know Vic would tell me when Jaime left the room. I continued to watch Vic, finally He nodded and Jaime walked out of the room and closed the door.
Vic then let go of me and looked at me, he looked concerned. I was starting to worry.
“Darling, what’s wrong?” I asked sitting so that I can face him. He looked away and grabbed both of my hands.
“Sweetie, we have to leave soon.” He said softly. My heart raced and I could feel my eyes swell with tears.
“G-go where?” I stuttered trying to fight back the tears that I knew were already there. He looked back at me and sighed. “Tour…” He said
I don’t know what suddenly raced through me; I knew it was a part of his job, or well our job, I knew what the risks were when we started dating, But I tossed the blankets off of me and ran out of the room, I knew where I wanted to go, I knew who I wanted to hold me, but suddenly Mike grabbed me.
“Courtney…Stop” He demanded. I put my head down so my hair covered my face, I wanted to hold my tears back but I couldn’t, The tears started streaming down my face, my whole body was suddenly shaking. “Stop it, you aren’t making this better on him, like we wanted to tell him, we had to leave?” Mike said in a soothing voice. I looked up at him and smiled.
“Thank you…” I said softly and wiped my hair out of my face. Mike wiped the tears from my face. Before I knew it I was picked up. Mike wasn’t carrying me; Jaime I knew wasn’t around us. I couldn’t tell if it was Vic or Tony that picked me up.
“Let me go!” I said slightly laughing. I heard a chuckle and I tried to see who it was, they had me over their shoulder, all I could see was their hair.
“Ugh, Stop struggling, Just come on” Tony said.
“Tony! Why would you?!” I shouted. I heard him laugh, he never replied. Suddenly I was basically thrown down onto the living room couch.
“Ow…” I said softly. “Tony…I told you not to hurt her” Vic said coming out of nowhere. “God, I didn’t mean to. Not my fault you chose the fragile and weak one” Tony said laughing walking out of the room. I sat up on the couch and looked over at Vic. He started to walk towards me.
“Sweetie, stand up” He said lovingly, I did as I was told and stood up. He walked up to me, wrapped his arms around me and looked me in the eyes, before I could say anything he pulled me close and I could feel the warmth of his lips against mine. For a few minutes I forgot where I was, and who I was. All I knew was that we were alone, in this big house. The guys and Esther had left. I wrapped my arms around him. Next thing I know we were back on the couch. I pulled away for a second.
“Darling, is this going where I think its going?” I asked shyly. He looked me in the eyes and softly said “Before we leave….I want….Well yes. It is.” He said, I don’t think he could get out what he really wanted to say. I looked into his brown eyes and knew right then that my future was going to be perfect. “Alright then” I said and pulled him back into a kiss.
A few minutes later, He picked me up and carried me to our room, well mine. It was already getting late, it was dark, but I guess he didn’t feel like turning on the light. He placed me softly on the bed and started kissing me again running his hands through my hair, I was falling in love with him more and more as things became more heated. I didn’t have the strength to take control of this, I let him do everything, but it felt right, it felt like this was supposed to happen. Everything began to blur together as he went further.
Soon the guys returned home, they came in the house loud.
“Hold on guys I’ll be right back!” Mike said and ran off towards the room. The other guys walked into the living room, they stopped in their tracks, Pillows scattered around, things knocked over onto the floor. Mike slowly opened the door to the room and turned on the light, peaked in, He turned out the light and quickly closed the door.
“Their both asleep….” He said walking into the living room and stopped. “What…happened in here?” He asked and looked at the guys.
“Um, do we really want to know?” Esther and Jaime said at the same time. Tony was already passed out. “Maybe we should go ahead and go to sleep” Mike said “I’ll take him to our room” He finished and picked him up. Jaime grabbed Esther’s hand and walked to their room. Mike took Tony to their room and laid him on the bed, he didn’t feel like covering him up. Mike crawled into his side of the bed, “Finally, he’s happy.’ Mike thought to himself and fell asleep.
