Get Back

Chapter 5 - Before "us" ...The story years ago...

"You wanna play hard huh?" Tom whispered huskily, bringing his lips closer to Bill's ear. The familiar vanilla scent reached his nose. He moved to Bill's neck and touched it with his lips that sent shiver to Bill's spine. 

Bill pushed Tom with all his might and finally succeeded. Tom rolled over to the side and after a moment, he started laughing. Bill just gave a heavy sigh and stared at Tom's laughing form.

"Are you high or what?" Bill asked calmly, standing upright.

"Nope. Just drunk", Tom smiled childishly, eyes closed.

Bill brushed off the feeling of butterflies inside his belly for what Tom did earlier. Bill couldn't just believe what Tom just said. He was probably making fun of him again, like those other drunken nights. But this time, it's a little bit different. Tom never talked to him in a calmer or nicer tone. Tom's always angry at Bill for being a "freak" like what they all think of him. They don't know how big Bill's parents are. Well, Bill picked this kind of life.

Bill made his way towards the bathroom to get a towel for Tom. He grabbed a small towel and washed it with the running water from the faucet. Silence resonated through the room when he heard Tom's voice.

"BABY!"  

*silence*

"HONEY!"  

*silence*

"OH OH! DARLING!"  

*silence*

"Sweet heart?" Tom said with a little voice. Bill was still inside the bathroom. He broke into a smile.

Bill finally stepped outside the bathroom and found Tom still sprawled on the floor, with a goofy smile on his face. Then he noticed Bill. 

"Babe! Come! Give me a hug", Tom beamed, spreading his arms, waiting for Bill.

"You are soooo drunk. So drunk", Bill stated, kneeled beside Tom and placed the wet towel on Tom's forehead. Tom pouted, disappointed that Bill didn't want to hug him.

Somewhere in Bill's mind wished that Tom would always be nice like this. Maybe they can be friends after all. 

The next morning, Tom woke up with a hangover. He looked over to his side and found a glass of water and painkillers on the table. A little note was placed there saying, "It's weekend, so you can sleep again once you've taken the medicine. I just went out to buy something   -Bill"

Bill's phone was ringing. Bill gave a whispered curse when he almost dropped the paper bag he's carrying. He stopped from walking and placed down the bag. He searched for his phone inside his pockets when a black luxurious car stopped in front of him. He looked at his phone screen and saw his friend's name on it. He answered.

"Yes, Adam" Bill answered the phone, looking at the car in front of him.

"Get in the car. It's me, Adam. You look scared. Don't worry, it's just me" Adam said over the phone calmly. He opened the window and looked at Bill's shocked face.

"Come on! Your BFF is here!" Adam chuckled, unlocking the door.

"How did you know it's me?" Bill squealed, wide eyed and mouth still gaping like fish. "Oh my god! I thought someone was about to take me! Again!"  He continued.

"Are you kidding me? No one will know you here, if you look like that. That's why I called you first before letting you in", Adam laughed. He looked at Bill from head to toe and started shaking his head.
