Lost In The Dark

Chapter 8

"Mmmm..." I stretched my arms out to the side and yawned widely. From outside the door I could hear typical morning sounds coming from the small kitchen. I sat up and ran a hand through my hair. Morning haze clouded my vision, so at first I didn't notice Jayy curled up beside me with a pale arm draped across his face, it wasn't until I had gotten up and seen all our clothes strewn on the floor that the memories rushed back. My eyes darted to the bed and sure enough, there was Jayy, I felt a sudden warmth crawl up my neck and settle in my cheeks. Looking at him now...felt strangely perverse. I looked away and stepped out of the room, closing the door quietly behind me so as to not wake him. Brandy and Jeffree were enjoying their breakfast -cereal with a glass of Jack Daniels- when they saw me knowing grins spread across their faces, making the blush spread further over my face.

"Shut up." I mumbled as I served myself some Spooner's cereal and sat down beside Brandy.

"So how was your night?" Jeffree asked, he bit the inside of his cheek to keep from laughing, beside me, Brandy stared at her glass of whiskey with great intensity while biting her bottom lip. I opened my mouth to tell them to shut the hell up, but at that moment Jayy stumbled into the living space, his dark hair was tussled and stood up at various angles, he gave us a sleepy wave in greeting and stuck a couple of pop-tarts into the Hello Kitty toaster and got himself a glass of milk. When the toaster dinged, signaling that his pop-tarts were ready, he sat himself beside Jeffree and across from me.

"Morning you fuckers" He said cheerily and bit into hit pastry.

"Good morning to you too Jayy, so how was your night?" Jeffree asked inconspicuously.

"Oh it was fine, just fine." Jayy said evenly, he quickly looked my way before turning back to his food.

"Really?" Jeffree continued. "Just fine, or better?"

"Just fine Jeffree, stop bugging me, can't you see I'm trying to eat." Jeffree seemed taken aback by Jayy's answer. Meanwhile here I was frozen in my seat gripping the edge of the table so that my knuckles and fingertips turned white. When I saw that Jayy wasn't going to release anything I relaxed a bit and continued to eat my cereal in a slightly less tense manner. Brandy, who had remained quiet through the whole ordeal, suddenly asked "Is it true?" the silence that fallowed seemed endless, Jayy and I could only stare agape at her, while Jeffree finally lost it and burst out laughing.

"Ummm..." Brandy smiled and smacked my arm. "So it is true!" She hugged me tightly and squealed happily. I looked to Jayy, begging him to do something, he only smiled and shrugged.

"So long as it stays between us four okay Brandy?" Jayy added.

"Awww, if you say so" Brandy agreed, then we continued on with our breakfast.

"So what's on the schedule for today?" Jayy asked.

"Today, as you both know, is the final day of the tour, so it has to be epic!" Jeffree said and threw his hands in the air to add emphasis on the "epic" part. I nearly choked on a frosted wheat square.

"So it is." I immediately stood up and rushed to my room, Jayy fallowed close behind, I took out my laptop. I cast a quick glance at the clock, if I hurried I could pull this off. I sent a quick email to Dora and Maria telling them to pack their bags and go to the airport. I could only hope that they got the email in time. Then I turned around and went to begin to get ready. Jayy sat on the bed watching me as I searched through piles of clothes creating small mountains all over my room.

"Dahvie, I know you're pretty busy, but...what are you doing exactly?" I paused my frantic search for pants and faced him.

"What? Oh I'm getting ready for tonight, I want it to be perfect, amazing, epic!" then I continued my search.

"Oookay" Jayy said dubiously, I settled for my skull outfit with an awesome spiked jacket, combat boots, and dark gray goggles, I held up my outfit for tonight proudly, Jayy agreed that it was great as I danced around the room. Soon we were both dancing and tripping over the piles of clothes, we ended up laying on the floor catching our breath. Jeffree walked in, he looked at us indifferently and said we should begin to get ready, preparations for tonight were beginning and they needed us to help around so the grand finale would really be grand. I bolted up and grabbed my towel.

"Whoa slow down there Dahv." I spun around and faced Jayy, he was propped up on one elbow looking at me from the floor.

"Didn't you hear Jeffree? We need to go help."

"I know, I know, but you're always in a rush, and helping people, why don't you do something for yourself?"

"I'm pretty sure I what happened yesterday I did for myself." I replied with a grin, Jayy's faced turned pink in response. "Yeah, I thought so." I went to him and planted a quick kiss on his lips before turning around and going to the bathroom to take a shower. Once I had removed my clothes I stood in front of the mirror and stared at the reflection in the mirror with a frown, I looked at the scars covered by tattoos, sighing, I shook my head and stepped into the water.

Dahvie was taking a shower, I could heat him humming I Heart Hello Kitty, chuckling, I took my towel and picked the lock into the bathroom. I stepped in as quietly as I could and closed the door behind me. Stripping out of my clothes, I took the shower curtain and flung it aside.

"Boo!" I shouted as I flung aside the curtain. Dahvie screamed and pushed himself up against the wall, but I noticed that he didn't try to cover himself up, which basically mean he was comfortable with showing his body to me.

"Damn it Jayy! What the fuck are you doing!"

"Well I thought we could save time if we took a shower at the same time. Now scoot over and makes some room" I said nonchalantly as I stepped into the shower with Dahvie. Grumbling he stepped aside and let me in. The warm water felt great, I reached around Dahvie and grabbed the shampoo, I lathered it into my head humming cheerily. Dahvie eyed me warily as he lathered his own head.

"What?" I asked Dahvie.

"Nothing, just don't try anything funny Jayy."

"Funny? You mean like this." I lunged forward and kissed him, pressed his slippery body against the wall and kissed him passionately. "Or...like this?" I said as I kissed his neck and ran my hands over his wet body. Dahvie shuddered against me, breathing quickly. I stepped away from him and smiled at him. Dahvie squeezed his eyes shut and pinched the bridge of his nose. Finally he groaned and opened his eyes.

"Kiss me you bastard!" With that, he flung himself around me.

"My pleasure." I returned his kiss and held him close.

It was a good hour before we finally stepped out of the shower, not my choice of course. If possible, we would have stayed under the running water all day, but Jeffree and Brandy had begun pounding on the door threatening to reveal our secret if we didn't come out, that, and the hot water ran out, neither of us felt like kissing under cold water. We dried off and got changed, Jayy helped zip up my skeleton suit and I, in return, did his hair. We stepped out of the bathroom looking fabulous. Brandy stared at us with her arms folded across her chest, her mouth pinched into a sour expression. She tapped her foot impatiently, her eyes were cold as she glared at us. All she did was point us in the direction of the venue and we scurried out of there in a hurry.

When we arrived at the venue, stage crew was running around setting things up for the show tonight. Dahvie and I submerged ourselves in the work, helping to move the speakers and set up the microphones, hanging the lights for the light show, making sure the fog machine and foam machines worked. We filled the confetti canons with pink, green, and yellow confetti. When sound-check was finished, we took a break, Dahvie and I lounged on the black couch, Dahvie drank his usual green tea with honey, while I smoked a cigarette. He had taken out his phone, his eyes moved over a message and he broke out in a grin and clutched the phone to his chest smiling.

"What's up with all the smiling?" Dahvie turned to me and smiled.

"It's a surprise!" He said and hugged me tight. He replied to the message and put away his phone. What was Dahvie up to now?

I was so happy, Dora and Maria had managed to catch their flight. I was so excited to see them again! It would be a surprise to Jayy and the crowd, tonight really would be epic! It would be a night no one would forget.
