When You Can' t Sleep at Night

We were walking back to the bus in happy chatter. Tony had left Landon in a corner knocked out...he wasn't dead..sadly. "So Skye tell us more about yourself!." Tony asked excitedly.
"Uhmm...theres not much about me. I draw portraits of people, I dance ballet, and I like writing poems and songs." I replied bluntly.
"Ahh come on there has to be something more hiding behind your belittled heart," Vic interceded.
"Ohhh I should make those into lyrics!" Vic said.
Ignoring him Tony asked," Do you skateboard?."
"Hellz yeah!" I replied happily. "skateboarding is my life!"
"See I told you there was something more." Vic replied.
"Oh do you play an instrument ?"mike asked. "I hmm play guit..." I mutter trailing off. "you play what?" Mike asked.
"I play the guita..r and pi...ano." I stuttered out.
"What !!! You play the guitar!!??" Tony exclaimed loudly.
"Geez.."i said rubbing my ear and nodding.
"You gotta play for us sometime."Vic exclaimed.
"Nope." I said popping the p.
"Aww why not!" Jaime exclaimed.
"Because I'll screw up and besides I haven't played in months." I said lying about the last part.
"Let me see you hands."tony said picking them up.
"Turn them over." he asked almost smug flipping my hands. oh crap I know what he's doing.
"Now uncurl your fingers ." doing what I was told I did.
"See you have fresh callouses on your fingers. And I'd bet they're from playing the guitar."he replied. Damn he was good.
"You could also play the piano for us!" Jaime offered excitedly.
"The only song I know is Mary Had a Little Lamb..."i said,but it came out as a question.
"Why don't you wanna play for us?"Mike asked.
"Because I'm no good, so please just drop it." I begged.
"Okay." everyone said at the same time throwing up surrender hands.

At the bus
"And this is the bunk area." Vic said giving me a tour of the bus.
"Where do I sleep?" I asked.
"Uhmm here you can have my bunk." he said removing his blanket and pillows.
"No Vic. I couldn't do that to you." I said grabbing his blanket and putting it back on his bed.
"And besides, where would you sleep?" I asked.
"On the couch. duh." he said."You could sleep in my bunk...with me. I wouldn't do anything. I promise. It would be just as a friendly gesture."
He said gushing everything out.
"I'm okay with that." I said quietly putting my pillow next to his.
"Okay."he said. I could hear a smirk in his voice.
@What??

Later that night
"Jaime!! Get the actual fuck off of me!!" He had me pinned to the kitchen floor and was sitting on me all over a can of monster energy drink. "Neverrrrrr !!!! give me the last can of MONSTER!!"
"Mike !! Help me..I can't breathe!"
"Sorry Hun in watching the TV." he said monotonous.
"hmf." I said pouting "Fuck Me."
"I would if I could." he muttered.
"I heard that. TONNNNY!!
"What the hell do you want woman!" He asked walking past me and Jaime.
"Help me..please..." I said giving him puppy dog eyes.
"Uhmm sorry my moms calling." he replied.
"We are on a tour bus heading to New York." I said sarcastically .
"Ohh would you look at that... it's way past my bedtime."
"It's only 10:00 at night."
"well'p," said popping the p and over exaggerating a yawn.."I'm going to hit the hay.Good night sweetheart."
"Good night babe." Mike yelled from the living room.
"I was talking to Skye!" Tony yelled back.
"Fuck you." I sneered.
"When and where." Tony replied laughing walking back to his bunk.
"Vic!!!!."
a confused looking Vic walked in.
"What the hell is going on in here?" Vic asked.
"Tell Jaime to get off me!! Please.. I can't breathe!!" I yelled.
"Jaime get off of Skye." he said bluntly.
"Never!!" He replied. "actually..I have one condition."
"Jaime I already told you. Your. not .getting.my.monster." I gasped.
"No. I don't want the monster anymore."
"Then get the fuck off me!!"
"I want.... the ...remote ..for the next two weeks."he demanded.
"Awww dude that's some thin ice your trailing on." Vic replied.
"Give me the Goddamn remote or I squish Skye to death!! Now!!"
"Yeesh!! Just give him the remote Vic."
"Alright!! Fine! Now get off Skye." Vic demanded.
Jaime jumped off me running to snatch the remote from Mike.
"God I think he broke my spine and rupture my spleen." I said struggling to get up.
"Here." Vic said . "Let me pick you up." Vic said squatting down and picking me up bridal style. I could faintly see the curl of his muscles under his shirt. Hot holy God ...he was hot. "What are you looking at?" Vic said. "uhmm a .." I said stuttering and tripping over my tongue.
Vic chuckled. "It's cute when you do that." Vic said.
"D-ddo what?" I asked
"When you trip over your words." he said chuckling again. We had arrived at the couch and he put me down lightly. I snuggled a little closer into his chest. Jaime chose a movie to put on. Vic and I were on the couch, and Jaime and Mike were on the floor under tons of blankets and pillows. Tony sat in the singlet couch.
"What happened to going to sleep ?" I asked him.
"I-ii ..shut up Skye ."
I giggled at his attempts.
The movie was playing but it got really boring. Vic was playing with his phone and the light illuminated his face. His brown eyes shone brightly in the light. I gave myself the pleasure of staring at all his features...from the way his hair curled gently and fell softly in front of his face, to the way his lower lip was slightly bigger.
Vic looked down and caught me staring at him. He smiled and I blushed. I could feel my face turning red. Turning back to the TV I yawned "you guys are the best family anyone could wish for." I yawned.
"Awww" ,they all said at the same time.
"We love you baby." Jaime said.
"I love you guys too." I said falling asleep. I was faintly aware of Vic humming a tune that sounded like "Yeah Boy and Doll face." It finally felt like I could sleep at night.
