Heaven Above (A Tony Perry Fanfic)

Chapter Ten

"Dare", Mike announced.

"Dare hey?" Jaime teased, looking around and seeming to think of a dare.

"This is so stupid", Kellin complained with a laugh, "It's like ninth grade all over again. In a second someone's gonna dare me to kiss Vic."

We all laughed at him. He was right though, we looked like ninth graders sitting in a circle on the floor of the kitchen. Tony, me, Mike, Jaime, Vic and Kellin. Resting my head on Tony's shoulder, I watched as Jaime finally turned back to Mike.

"I dare you to finish this", Jaime pulled a three quarters full bottle of Jack Daniels from the counter, "In less than a minute."

Mike scoffed taking the bottle of Jacks from Jaime, "Easy."

Tipping the bottle back he began to chug.

"Chug, chug, chug", The boys began to chant and I laughed, it was such a boy thing to do.

Pulling the empty bottle away from his lips he held it up proudly, "Easy."

Looking around the circle he clicked his tongue, "Who should I choose? Who should I choose?"

Suddenly his eyes came to rest on Vic, "Truth or dare brother?"

Vic grinned, "Truth."

"What's going on between you and Rachel?" Mike asked.

At the question Vic paled.

"I… We… Nothing", he answered finally with an uncertain shake of his head.

 Mike tilted his head, seeming to ask Vic a question with his eyes to which Vic just shrugged. I wondered who Rachel was for the second time.

"Anyways", Vic said nonchalantly turning to Tony, "Tone? truth or dare?"

"Dare", said Tony quietly.

"Dare, hey? Ok. Seven minutes in heaven. You and Tori", said Vic with a giggle.

I could feel the colour flood my cheeks and inwardly cursed Vic.

"Tori?" Tony's quiet voice said in my ear.

"Yeah?"

"You don't have to do this?" He whispered.

"Come on", I said standing up and holding my hand out to Tony, "Wouldn't want to disappoint the boys now would we?"

Tony grinned and took my hands, and I pulled him up. A cheer rang out from the group of boys sitting in a circle as I began to lead Tony to my room.

"Wait", Tony murmured to me before turning around, "Kellin, truth or dare?"

"Dare", replied Kellin with a flick of his dark hair.

"I dare you to kiss Vic", Tony laughed before running up the stairs and pulling me with him.

Suddenly Kellin's shoe sailed past my head and I dissolved into a fit of laughter. Leading Tony to my bedroom I opened to door and ushered Tony inside. Closing the door behind him, I watched as he looked around and suddenly felt very vulnerable. My bedroom was the one thing that was wholly me. From the dark furniture to the bookcases full of books to my walls that were covered with framed pictures and prints.

"Did you take these?" Tony had drifted over to the furthermost wall which was covered in framed pictures.

I nodded walking over to him, "Yeah. Most of them."

"Tori, these are amazing", he looked down at me, and for the first time I realised how tall he was, the top of my head barely reached his nose.

"You think?" I asked sitting down on my bed.

"Yeah", he came and sat down next to me, "You have a real eye for photos."

Looking into his dark eyes I wondered how I was sitting here with such a sweet guy sitting next to me. Suddenly his arms were around my waist, pulling my body against his and my arms were thrown around his neck, our lips colliding in a shower sparks. His lips were hungry and I felt my lips match his hunger. Tangling my fingers into his hair I felt him smile against my lips and if possible pull me closer. After what felt like and eternity I pulled away for breath, I looked up into Tony's face. He was looking down at me, breathless. His cheeks were flushed and I could see his pulse thundering in his throat. Untangling my hands from his hair I rested them gently on my lap and looked up at him.

"I don't know what happened there", I murmured timidly.

"I don't care what happened, only that it rocked", he replied, not taking his hands from my waist.

I felt colour flood my cheeks and looked up at him. He was staring down at me with a peculiar look in his eyes.

"What are you thinking?" He asked, taking my hands from my lap and holding them gently.

"Tony", I started, suddenly all the fears that had been lurking in the back of my mind were front and centre, waiting to be voiced, "What are we doing?"

"What do you mean?" he asked quietly.

"What is this, Tony?" I replied, "Is this just a fling in between tours? Do I even mean anything to you?"

I know I sounded like a needy, clingy girl but I needed to know. I needed to know so I could end this before I got hurt more than I could prevent. Looking up at Tony through my lashes I watched his face change. His eyes widened and he raised his eyebrows.

"See Tori", he started and I braced myself for disappointment, "I really like you."

"What?" I asked, suddenly breathless again.

"I really like you Tori. I've never felt like this for anyone before. I mean it", his hands gripped mine tighter as he continued, "I wanna be better for you. I don't know if you feel it too, but I don't know if I could live without you anymore. And that sounds crazy I know", he laughed quietly, trailing off.

It was though all the breath had been knocked from my lungs.

"Wait, what are you saying?" I asked quietly for what felt like the millionth time.

He leaned down to kiss me and I pushed my hand against his chest stopping him.

Looking down into my eyes he smiled and chuckled quietly, "You're determined aren’t you? I love you Tori, there I said it."

Looking up into his chocolate eyes I smiled, reaching up to cup his cheeks I pulled his face level with mine, "I love you too Tony Perry."

Leaning in I kissed his lips gently, feeling his hands move back to my waist and pull me closer. Pulling away from the kiss, I leaned my forehead against his. Our hair falling to form a dark brown and gold curtain surrounding our faces. His hand came up to trace my jawline and I closed my eyes.

"What now?" Tony asked quietly, looking into my face intently.

I smiled, "Well you could start by telling me about this 'Turtle' thing."
