Falling Backwards

New York changes things

Month: April

"Come on Rocky! Like half a flight of stairs til the top!" Alyson kissed his cheek. "Maybe I wouldn't be complaining so much if you weren't on my back lovely!" She laughed, "I got tired of walking!" He rolled his eyes, stepping on to the last step at the top of the Statue of Liberty. She jumped off, grabbing his hand and pulling him to the edge to look over. 

"Wow... Isn't it beautiful?" She said, staring out. "Yes you are..." He said, watching her admire the skyline. "Hah, what?" She smiled. He shook his head, "Heh. Sorry, Yes it is beautiful. But so are you." She blushed and hugged him tightly, "I have class on Tuesday, so I need to be back in LA." She was studying to be a teacher for one of the most prestigious Hollywood private schools. 

"Okay, we all fly back on Monday actually, you can fly home with us?" She smiled, "It's Saturday. That means we have time together! And you have a radio performance tomorrow, but after that we're free to do whatever!" She kissed him, pulling closer and wrapping her arms around him, not caring who was watching. "I'm very excited about this!" Rocky said between kisses. 

She turned to face the skyline again and he grabbed her hand. She leaned into his shoulder. 'Come on Rocky. Pull it together man. Tell her you love her. Before your brothers and sister and Ratliff show up to go shop.' He thought to himself. The mental argument went on for a while in the quiet, then he backed away from her back to face her. 

"Alyson..." He said, grabbing her hands. She smiled nervously, "Yes?" 'What is he doing?! Is he gonna say he loves me?! I love him. I love you Rocky' she thought to herself. He took a deep breath. "You're just so gorgeous I can't even focus" he blurted out. She smiled, "Thank you baby, you're very handsome." He smiled awkwardly. "I love you..." He said to her, pulling her close into him and smiling at her. She gasped, "I love you too..." He leaned down and kissed her softly. "Now that I've said it I wanna say it a million times Alyson." She nodded, "Me too. I love you." "I love you too." 

"Shh!" Rydel hushed the other boys behind a pole. "He said I love you!!" She clapped quietly. "Alright! Cool!" Riker said a little bit too loud. Rocky turned away from kissing his love and looked at them. "I told you three o'clock and not a minute sooner!" He smiled though, so happy to have said I love you to the girl of his dreams. "It's actually 3:04..." Ross said, "We gave you two extra time!" Rocky rolled his eyes, holding Alyson's hand as she quietly listened to them. "Okay smart ass. Let's go shop and eat something?" He looked down at Alyson. "Is that okay Love?" She smiled, "That sounds perfect, Love." 

They walked around New York for hours and got dinner at a pizza place. Rocky would turn to Alyson at random times just to say I love you. And she would say it right back every time. It just made them so happy to love each other. "Here's the hotel." Ratliff said, stepping to the revolving door in front of everyone else. "I think it's time for a movie and cuddling!" Rocky suggested to Alyson. "I think that sounds wonderful. After I shower!" 

Rocky smiled, "I should come with you... Just to make sure you don't trip and fall!" She laughed, "I think I'll be okay. But you can wait in our room?" The boys nudged him. "Oooooo" he pushed them all, watching Alyson walk into their adjoining room slowly. Then she turned around, "Rock? You coming?" He widened his eyes, a devious grin appearing, "Absolutely." She walked into the room, he followed behind, shooting a glance at the boys still sitting on the other beds, about to play video games. He whispered loudly to them as he left the room, "Oh yes, I'm gettin' lucky!" 

Alyson pulled his shirt a bit, "Hah! Not if you advertise it!" She kissed him slowly, painfully slow. "Okay..." He laughed softly. And they closed the door. 

"He's so lucky..." Riker said leaning back on the bed. "She's like perfect for him." Ross said, staring at the door. Rydel just laughed, "They should just get married. It's amazing."
