Bandmate ||Ricky Garcia||

《t h i r t y - f i v e 》

Audrey POV

By the time Jon had finished packing several of his things, Ricky walked in. '' You're seriously leaving?''

''Yes, so when he leaves, call me and I'll be happy to come back.''He puts on his hoodie and pats Ricky as he leaves his room.

''Maybe I should leave too,'' I say approaching Ricky at the door and turn off the lights.

''Stay a little longer. Emery's too busy with Liam and Keta left a few minutes ago.'' He starts to walk and I follow him. I never realized how much walking I've done in this house to reach across rooms.

''How come your parents don't live here with you,'' I asked him hoping he wouldn't mind me bringing it up. He leads me to a room with band posters on the wall to which most of them were FIYM posters. Ricky's room.

''I did tell her that she could come and live here and Cali, but she doesn't want to leave San Antonio.'' He shuts the door behind me and goes to sit in his bed. ''She wants me to live with her, but I can't bring myself to. Even staying with her for the weekends takes a lot out of me.''

''Because of your dad?'' Bringing myself to sit next to him, I stop looking at his colorful wall but into his specs of green eyes.

''That and everything else. Don't get me wrong I love Texas but I dread going there. One day I'll take you to meet her and you'll see what I mean.'' Meet his mom! His tone makes it seems like its a nothing and here I am worrying. I wonder if he got a little bit nervous when he met my mom?

Ricky's POV

''You want me to what?'' This woman is out of her fucking mind.

''Lower your voice, please. Act like a gentleman at least.'' Mrs. A's voice demands even through the phone. I had to wake up to Liam and Emery arguing over a video game and now she is telling me all this crap. ''All you have to do is answer a few questions. Don't worry we already talked with the interviewer and the questions have been regulated.''

''Why does Audrey have to be there?'' I have no issue going alone and answer the questions on the topic most likely being Audrey and Peyton. But having 'my girl' there with me won't be the most pleasant scenario for her.

''Because to the world you two are dating and people are getting curious. So I recommend you tell her how to behave and I going to need you both to take this seriously.''

''Don't worry Mrs. A, we'll make you proud. Just tell me when and where.'' I tell her running my fingers through my messy hair as I stretch around before pulling the covers and pushing myself up. The cool morning breeze hits my naked torso.

''I'll have them send you the address, don't be late.'' Before I could hang up she leaves me, with the ding of my phone with the info. This woman sure waste no time. Getting out of bed I pull my briefs up as they almost reveal my crotch. Walking to the bathroom for a quick shower I call Audrey hoping she is awake. The phone rings for a while and she doesn't answer. So I call again.

''Ricky, now is not the time.'' Her voice sounds hushed, too quick.

''Nice to hear your lovely voice too. Look I just need to talk to you. Can I go to your house in an hour?'' I say starting up the water and go and sit on the toilet seat waiting for the warm water.

''Ricky it's Tuesday. I'm in school right now, I had to leave the room to answer. My English teacher hates me now.''

''Shit, I forgot. My bad. Call me when the class is over. We have something more important to do.'' I tell her, the steam is starting to creep it's out the curtains and that's my cue. I strip off my briefs and jump in leaving the phone on speaker.
