Time; Don't Let It Slip Away

Slow It Down, Sukie Jones.

"I say first thing we do when this plane lands is get some bbq…" Jordan sat back in his plane seat, rubbing his growling belly. "I mean, Austin Texas is the bbq capital of the world!" 

"I want to go horseback riding!" Carla giggled eagerly.

I laughed as everyone went around the plane, saying what they were excited for. 

Personally, what I'm most excited for is the fact that in about 2 weeks, Steven and I will be celebrating our one year anniversary!

I get butterflies just thinking about it… I'm too excited. 

"Mia…"

I snapped out of my reverie to find everyone staring at me. 

"What?" I asked, looking around at everyone. 

"I asked what you're most excited about… Or what you want to do while we're here, atleast." Carla asked, looing at me like I'm insane. 

"Oh…" I blushed, trying to come up with an answer. "Umm… I'm not sure… All your ideas sounded pretty fun." 

"Oh, get your head out of your ass, and quit thinking about your boyfriend." Joe laughed, rubbing his hand on Lauren's knee. 

"Eh-hemm." Steven and I both giggled, answering simultaneously. "Husband."

"Yeah, yeah… Whatever." He rolled his eyes, giggling. 

Steven grinned and leaned over the arm rest between us, to whisper into my ear, rather seductively. 

"One year…" He chuckled, kissing my cheek. "How'd I get so lucky?"

I smiled and turned my face so I could lock my lips with his. 

"Trust me, you're not the lucky one, here…" 

"Get a room…" Joey giggled. 

"No! Not again!" I yelled playfully. 

"It's okay… There's no hidden bedroom on the back of this jet." Steven bit his prominent lower lip in embarassment. 

"Annyywaayy." Brad cut in, overtly changing the subject. "We've got about 20 minutes till we land. Do you guys want to check in and then meet up somewhere to figure out what we're doing?"

"Just not Steven and Mia's room…" Joe snickered. "I'm sure they want to break it in, first." 

"Oh my god, can you guys not?!" I turned beet red, and hid my face in my palms. "Oh my god. Just stop!" 

"It's okay, darlin' I'm sure Lauren and I'll be doing the same thing." He winked, putting his arm around Lauren who turned equally as red as I had. 

"Joseph fuckin' Perry!" She slapped his shoulder, quite loudly.

everyone burst into laughter, as we prepared for the plane to land.

"You know…" Steven grinned setting his bags down on the white tiles on the floor of the master bedroom. "Joe had a pretty good idea…" 

"What?" I asked, not bothering to turn around from where I was unzipping my suitcase. "The thing about jumping from the balcony into the pool? Steven Tyler, your best friend is an idiot and I don't want you to break your goddamn neck by f-"

He cut me off by spinning me around and landing a passionate kiss on my lips.

I mean… I guess that's one way to shut me up. 

"No," He breathed in between kisses. "The idea about breaking in the hotel room."

His hands ran down my hips, softly caressing the top of my thighs, which Steven knew was one of my weak spots. With a devious grin on his face, he cupped my thighs and picked me up, enabling me to wrap my legs around his waist.
