She

Chapter 33

Billie slowly walks up to me and hands me a bouquet of white roses, A back ribbon holds them all together and a little note dangles off the side. I lean against the bench and Billie hands my hips watching my reaction. I carefully lay them on the marble table top and remove the card to I can read it, I pull the pearl card out of its envelope and my eyes scan the messy hand writing.

To the one I love and who Is my everything,
I never thought the day would come where I would love someone as much as I love you, the love that I once thought I had wasn't love because what we have is love and it feels nothing like before. We aren't an overly romantic couple because it's always the small things but today is special.
Love always,
Billie (Your hot as fuck boyfriend)

I cuddle into Billie, he holds me into his torso and let's my head rest on his chest. I've never gotten anything like this before, I would get a Christmas and birthday presents when I was younger here and there or from Joey but never something like this. I always saw Billies gifts being letting me live with him, paying for a groceries and giving me a job but now it's something more. I look up and our eyes connect, I rest my hand on his cheek and his him. It's a slowly warm kiss that's full of love, lust and passion.

"I love it, I love you and everything that comes with it." I whisper as I pull away from the kiss, only the two of us were able to hear. I take Billies hand and fiddle with the ring that he always wears, his hands are big compared to mine and when he holds them in comforting and like he's protecting me.

"I love you too. We can put the roses in our room or leave them in the kitchen." Billie runs his free hand through my hair and generally moves the loose hair behind my ear, never losing eye contact.

"Our room?" I look at his gorgeous features and notice a smile from ear to ear lies upon his face. He nods taking a deep breath, his fingers lace with him and he seems nervous.

"I want you to move in with me, technology you have but I mean that I want us to share a room officially. The spare room will be the spare room and my room can be our room. The two of us together every night, we don't have to pretend to anyone that comes here anymore. I don't mean that we have to let the media know but hiding it isn't our main priority." Billie is so cute and I'm over the moon, I never used the damn bedroom anyway and now I'm just one for step closer to Billie. It's not as scary as I thought it would be, we are taking baby steps and Billie is helping.

"I would love to." It wasn't a surprise to Billie that I would say yes but he was absolutely glowing with happiness, it was like his whole face and body lit up.

Billie reaches for the flowers and as he bends over me he sneakily kisses my neck, he pulls out a vase and generally places the flowers in water. I keep the card close, I never want it out of my reach because I'm going to treasure this thing. A small blush appears on my cheeks, I'm just in this new, surreal and amazing situation.

"Ryan?" I peer over my shoulder and see Mike, he looks at me with sad eyes which is a common trend lately. I walk over to him and pull him into a hug, this sense of ease washes over me. "Please tell me your ok?"

"I'm ok Mike, I needed to clear my head but I owe you an apology and I also need to thank you." I let him go but Mike pulls me back for one last quick hug, it was as if it was a reply to what I had said.  "So thank you and I'm sorry because you did the world for me and I'm such a coward that I couldn't even say goodbye."

"No, you don't have to at all. I understand, it's something that you had to do but I missed you and was working like crazy Ry. Now your 'favourite uncle' is in the other room waiting for you attention." Mike laughs patting my shoulder, he swiftly moves past and head to the bar fridge for a beer but was disappointed that it was empty, thanks to me and that's my que to leave.

I walk into the lounge and Tre is sitting on the couch sad, his emotions are overly heightened but I love him. He acts in a way as if he was acting but he wasn't at all, it was just the way he was. He sits with his head on his palm looking at nothing but uses it as something to distract him. I feel horrible, he's like a little puppy that I want to hug.

"Franky baby." His head shots towards me with the biggest smile, he stands up and runs over to me. His arms wrap around my waist and picks me up shaking me around, he laughs which makes me giggle.

"Ry baby, I missed you so much." He says in a girly voice th roughing me generally on the couch, he sits next to me and smoothly moves as close to me as he can. His head rests on my shoulder and pulls faces at me, I mentally giggle and just watch Tre be Tre. "Jakob!" Tre screams at the top of his lungs, Jakob and Chris come pounding down the stairs.

"Tre!" Jakob yells running over to us, he jumps on the top of us and jokingly poses across us and winks at Chris. Slowly Billie and Mike come into the room and lunch on any of the free seats around us.

"One big happy family."
