She

Chapter 37

"Good afternoon." I laugh as Jakob finally emerges from his bedroom, he look so much better than the other night and according to the doctor it was just a 24 hour stomach bug thank god. He had lost a lot of sleep though, so it completely understandable why is up so late.

"Hey Ry, sorry I wasn't up to help you grab the groceries for tonight." Joey says sadly, Joey wanted to help be pick up the groceries today to prepare for dinner with Sage tonight. I was going to wait for him to wake up but since the clock hit 3 I knew by the time I got the stuff and got home it would be 4 and the dinner is meant to be on the table by five thirty so I decided it would be best to leave without him.

"It's fine Danger, I don't really mind. I would love for you to get the dad and the boys, I want you all to help out and have some fun." He smile organising all the ingredients on the table, tonight is homemade pizza. Jakob and I were going to go for something more interesting but considering we have to provide for six and all their needs and what they like we thought pizza was the best option.

"Ok but before I go can I ask you something?" I notice Jakob gets nervous, I nod my head and he takes a deep breath. "Can you spend one more week with me here and meet up with dad in Pittsburgh?" He looks at me with hope and I honestly can't say no because it's kind of what I wanted to do anyway.

I sigh running my fingers through my hair, we aren't mean to leave in two days since we have two shows in Oakland and then a week of shows between here and Pittsburgh and than head back for the end of the tour. It's seems like the obvious thing to do because it's the perfect in between and there must be a reason Jakob doesn't want me to go. The poor thing is in this awkward situation and he's doing so well, if only his brother was like that.

"Of course, let me talk to your dad about it after dinner." I smile even though internally I'm so confused, the smallest things ruin my mood and it's not because of Jakob but it is because I hadn't let myself think about it all week and now it's nearly to late. I watch Jakob leave the room before groaning and rubbing my temples. This tour is a curse and a blessing at the same time, if only life was easier.

I all ready made the dough early today so it could be done fermenting so we could start adding everything else plus making garlic bread. There's stations set up for each process, I'm very anxious today which mean I'm extra pedantic and fussy. I hear the foot steps of the boys and they all match in, Tre has his two fingers against his forehead as if he's about to salute me and the others look at me like I'm crazy. This isn't going to go well, I should have just ordered take out because these boys are going to get on my nerves and send me insane.

"Ready for action sir." Tre says puffing out his chest, I gesture them over to the kitchen. I look around trying to figure out how to do this, something going to go wrong, I can already tell and try looks like he's on more drugs than usual which help increase my hypothesis.

"Each one of you is going to make a different pizza, Tre you get meat lovers, Mike pepperoni, Danger cheese, Billie Margherita and I'll do the breads." I shrug showing them their station, I sigh and give them the basic rundown of what to do. I've really let my mood decease into a depressed and anxious state, great.

"Sir yes sir." Tre shouts already stating on his, I walk over to oven turning in on so it's pre heated for later. The boys are having a good time laughing and singing a song about working, I'm not really pay attention. "Ry!" Tre shouts and I turn getting a face full of flour, I want to cry but the other part of me wants to laugh. Instead I get mad and tip the rest of the left over flour on tres head and everyone bursts out laughing. I start to smile and than tre pulls me into a hug transferring more flour onto me.

"Tre get off or no pizza for you." He get off straight away, he runs back to his pizza and gets back to work. Billie walks over with his pizza finished and places it next to my bread, he stands in front of me wiping the flour of my face. He leans down and kisses me, he knows when I'm not feeling the best but tries not to draw attention to it.

"It's ok, I love you." He whispers before once again softly kissing me, he walks back and helps Tre with his disaster pizza. I continue to make the garlic butter, the time goes fast and before we know it the pizzas are in the oven and we are cleaning up the mess aka the flour that Tre walked through the kitchen. With the surfaces clean and everything put away, the dishwasher stacked and floor wiped we are ready for action.

When I place the last pizza on the table the doorbell rings, Jakob buzzes her in and meets her outside knowing it'll take a while for her to walk up the driveway. Our security system is crazy. Billie gets the beer and soda out of the fridge as we wait for the mysterious Sage to enter. Tre jumps up and down excitedly when the door click open, he runs at Sage and hugs her.

"Sage this is my uncle Tre." Jakob says trying to pull Tre off of her, Tre gets the memo and walks over to the table staring at the pizza licking his lips. "This is my dad, Mike and You've meet Ryan." We all wave and she waves back, we all sit at the table with mike and Tre at a end each, Billie and I on one side and Sage and Jakob on the other. It's awkward.

There was so much small talk, I got bored and just decided to stuff my face with pizza like everyone else, Billies hand never left my thigh and occasionally we would hold hand but i always need it for something else. Than something shocked me, sage spoke. "So are you and Billie together?"
