Ben’s POV
Just after 7 am, I received a call from Luke telling me that he had seen Alison go out the back way of the apartment complex. He said he wouldn’t have called except it was odd that she had gone the back way and she looked like she was up to no good. I had thanked him before hanging up and getting ready before leaving the house.
I had an idea of where she would go, and my thoughts were confirmed when I received a text from an old friend, also a dealer, that said Ali had stopped and gotten the usual. I let out a sigh before replying telling him thank you and heading towards the area I knew she would be walking around after visiting him.
When I found her, she was walking slowly with the puppy. She stopped and I heard her talk to the dog.
“Bailey, what do you say we keep this between the two of us, okay?” She said.
“Kind of late for that, don’t you think?” I asked.
She turned around to face me and her face showed that she knew how I felt. I was disappointed to the extreme. I thought she was clean, and now she was using again? She knew the effects, so how could she do this to herself again?
“Ben, I can explain.” She said.
“Please do.” I said.
“I just… I needed to forget.” She said.
“Alison there is plenty of other ways to forget. This is not the only way.” I said.
“It’s the only way I’ve ever known Ben.” She said as she looked at her feet.
“Well maybe you should try another way.” I said as I stepped closer and pulled her into a hug.
“Like what?” she asked softly.
“Move on from the past. Let others help you.” I answered.
We stood there hugging each other for a few minutes before she pulled away and looked at me.
“I’m sorry Ben. I know that this disappoints you, I just didn’t know what else to do.” She said.
“Next time you have the urge, just call me and I can help you, or even just talk to Ryan, okay?” I asked.
“Yeah, okay.” She answered.
“Good, now hand it over.” I stated, holding my hand out in front of me.
She reached into her sweatshirt pocket and pulled out a tiny bag with pills in it. She looked at it before placing it in my hand. I placed it into my pocket before wrapping an arm around her shoulders and leading her back towards Alex. He was in the same place as always.
He looked at me, giving me a knowing glance. I pulled the pills back out of my pocket and handed them back to him before nodding my head and turning back around, heading towards my car with Alison under my arm.
“Thanks for coming Ben.” She said softly.
“Anytime Alison.” I answered.
As we reached my car, she got in the passenger seat and sat the puppy in her lap. I walked around and got in the driver’s side before starting it and pulling out and driving towards Ryan’s.
“So I’m assuming you named the puppy Bailey?” I asked.
“Yeah.” She said smiling as she pet the puppy.
“Cute name.” I replied.
“Thanks.” She said.
As I pulled up outside the apartment complex, I nodded towards Luke as Alison got out of the car. She thanked me once more before rushing inside.
I was scared. Not for me, but for her. I knew if this happened now, it was bound to happen again, and that frightened me. I didn’t want my baby sister to get back into her old ways because I knew that nothing good would come from it.
Alison’s POV
As I walked into Ryan’s apartment, I prayed that he hadn’t woken up yet so that I wouldn’t have to explain where I had been. And I was in luck because he was still fast asleep in his bed. Bailey had already jumped up on the bed and cuddled back up to Ryan’s side as I placed my keys and phone on the dresser and pulled the sweatshirt I was wearing off.
I walked over to the bed, crawling back under the covers, moving Bailey and cuddling up to Ryan. I soon felt an arm wrap around my waist but he hadn’t woken up fully. I lifted my head off of Ryan’s chest and leaned up so that my lips were on his neck.
I soon found his weak spot and he let out a moan. I let out a chuckle against his skin before I felt him move. He had flipped us over so that he was hovering over me and he was staring at me intensely.
“You should wake me up that way more often.” He said before leaning down and placing a kiss on my lips.
“You’d like that wouldn’t you?” I asked with a smirk.
“More than you know.” He said before kissing me again.
We continued that for a good five minutes before Ryan’s phone started going off. He let out a groan as he rolled over and grabbed his phone off the night stand. He let out another groan before answering the phone.
He was on the phone for about five minutes, not looking happy at all through the entire conversation. When he hung up, he sat the phone back on the stand and rolled back so that he was hovering over me again.
He leaned down and pecked my lips, before asking, “Do you want to go into the studio today?”
“Sure, but first…” I trailed off as I placed my hands at the back of his neck and pulled his face to mine, connecting our lips.
Ryan’s POV
As she pulled me down into another kiss, her hands moved from my neck to my chest. Her fingers found the bottom of my shirt and played with the hem before gently pulling it up. I helped her remove my shirt before connecting our lips again. Her hands explored my chest, which was a bad thing in my case.
“If you’re going to be a tease again, we should stop.” I said as I pulled away and looked at her.
Her hands had rested on the top hem of my shorts, and before I knew it, her hands were exploring new places.
“I guess I won’t be a tease then.” She stated as she leaned up and kissed me.
As things escalated, you can imagine my anger when my phone went off again.
“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.” I breathed out.
“Ignore it.” Ali said as she kissed my neck.
“You’re a horrible influence on me Haggerty.” I said before letting out a moan.
Not only had she found my weak spot on my neck, but her hands were doing work down lower that I hadn’t expected at that moment.
“You love my influence.” She said against my neck before returning her lips to mine.
“Definitely.” I breathed out.
“What time do you have to be at the studio?” She asked between kisses.
“At 9.” I answered.
“We should probably get ready then.” She said pulling away.
“If you think this is over, you’re sadly mistaken.” I said as I put my lips on her neck.
“Can we continue this in the shower then?” She asked.
“I like the way you think.” I answered.
I stood up off the bed and pulled her up with me, leading the way to the bathroom. Could this morning get any better?
AN: Hellloooo everyone! okay, so I hope you enjoyed that and I just want to say that I know I didn't give any detail on what happens in the shower, and I did it on purpose. I will not be writing about it in the next chapter, and I won't because I don't really know if I can write that. If you want me to, let me know, I will try, but I'm not guaranteeing it will be any good.
Anyways, thank you for reading, I love you all and hope that you are all enjoying this. :)
