Still Falling (A Hunter Hayes FanFic)

Chapter 11

Hunter's POV

I pull up to my apartment and park the car. It's been a month since the tour ended and I miss it, but it's time to get back in the studio. I've already planned to put some new songs I'd just recently written for the new record, and maybe I'd write some more. Maybe one about tattoos. Yeah, I've always loved tattoos, but I'm too scared to get one. I feel a tap on my shoulder and look over at the passenger seat to find it occupied by my girlfriend. "Are we just gonna camp out in the car or...?", I laugh and get out of my Mustang.

I run around to the other side to open Nettie's door. She climbs out and questions, "Why are you such a gentlemen?" "Just the way Mama raised me, I guess." She giggles. "Well, props to Lynnette." She scurries up the steps to the front door and unlocks it with her key as I followed. Nettie moved in about 2 months ago, when we had a week off from tour. I just want to be with her every minute of everyday, and living together would make that happen. I feel bad that she left Vivian to live by herself, but I got a key made for her so she could come over anytime. I thought it was about time that she moved in since we have been together for 6 months- that was 8 weeks ago, though. Oh my god, Nettie and I have been together for 8 months. I hope she knows how much I love her. Maybe it's time I show her.

Toni's POV

I rush up the steps to the apartment and unlock the door. I run in and yell back, "You'll never catch me, Hayes!" He looks up from his thoughts and smiles. He bursts in through the door and begins chasing me around the apartment. I keep looking back to see if he was close, he's right on my heels! I almost make a clean getaway to our bedroom, but he grabs me and throws me over his shoulder. I try to free myself from him but it's no use.

I laugh as he carries me and flops me onto the bed. I chuckle as I hit the soft mattress and he's laughing too. He climbs over me, his arms on either side of my head, his legs on either side of my hips. He looks so beautiful, towering over me. The sun through the window hits his face and hair, causing him to glow. I put my hands on his cheeks and pull him down to kiss me. The kiss is soft and sweet at first, but then, I begin pulling on his shirt, trying to bring him closer to me. He slips his hands underneath me and caresses my body with such care.

His body heat is radiating and he begins tugging on my bottom lip. He likes doing that, I think. I kiss him again, and he pulls away and heads for my neck. He nibbles away at my ear and gently kisses my collarbones, then swiftly bites my neck. A small moan escapes my mouth, he knows that drives me crazy. Suddenly, he stops, still standing over me. "Hunter, I want you. I want every piece of you, and I want you to have every piece of me. If you're not ready, that's okay." Hunter is a virgin, and so am I, but I want him forever. This isn't even about sex. It's about revealing yourself to that person, stripping down your worries and fears, and putting yourself in their care. "I want to..." He begins. "Trust me, I do." I laugh. "Are you sure?" I thought about it for a minute. I'm not. It was a heat-of-the-moment thing, but I do still want him forever. "No." I say. He smiles and kisses my lips softly. "You know, you really love tugging on my lips", I laugh, sitting up. He puts his hand on my cheek, running his thumb over what he loves so much to bite. "What can I say? Tug-of-war was my favorite game in gym." I toss my head back, cracking up at his joke because he never liked sports. "Cute, Hayes. Cute."

Hunter's POV

Nettie and I watch an episode of 'Glee', and I was in awe at how talented the people were. I never really watched the show, there was no time for me to do that. She tells me about the different characters. "That's Rachel." she says, pointing to the girl in the plaid skirt and knee high socks. "Her best friend is Kurt, and that guy right there is-" "Kevin McHale!" I cheer. "Yes, it is, babe." She pats my hand. "I met him once. He came to one of my shows and he's really cool." She huffs in disappointment. "Lucky." I kiss her cheek. She smiles and continues watching the show.

Toni's POV

I was getting a little hungry, and so was Hunter, so he left to go get us some dinner. After about 10 minutes of being by myself, I go check the mail. I return with a handful of papers and coupons. I find my magazine that I get every month and guess who is on the cover. None other than my Hunter. And to my surprise, he isn't alone.

There is a girl with him.

And that girl is not me.
