The New Boys In Town (Book Two)

Get Down, Make Love

I grabbed Freddie and Brian by the shirt, dragging them into the living room.

I pushed them both onto the couch, "Talk" I said firmly.

They both crossed arms and turned away, grumbling.

I sighed loudly, "Say what you need to say, say it to me!" I begged.

Brian glanced at me, he sighed and turned my way.

"I like you, Lily. A lot, Freddie doesn't deserve a woman like you! He's been with so many-" Freddie cut Brian off by placing his hands over Brian's mouth.

"Shush!" Freddie said, looking at Brian with wide-eyes.

I stared at Freddie, "Let go of Brian" I said, gritting my teeth.

Freddie looked at me for a moment, I just kept staring at him.

Freddie sighed, taking his hands off of Brian.

I smiled warmly at Brian, "Go on.."

Brian looked at Freddie.

I could tell Freddie was hiding something, his eyes were just saying 'Don't say it'.

"H-He isn't ready to settle down..But I-I now know how much he loves you. Freddie is obviously ready since he's given you that ring" Brian said sadly, looking down.

I looked down at my ring, then at Freddie. "Do you have anything to say?" I softly said.

Freddie shrugged, "All I know is, is that I love you and want to marry you" Freddie smiled sincerely at me.

I bit my lip.

I looked down at the ground, nodding. "Brian, you may go now" I softly said.

Brian rushed off, I sat beside Freddie.

"Are you truly sure about this, Freddie? I don't want another messed up marriage" I said.

Freddie softly chuckled, wrapping his arms around me. "I've never been so sure, Lily. I love you, I want this." He smiled at me.

I smiled at him, "Good... Do you think Brian and you will be alright?" I asked.

Freddie smiled at me, "I'm sure of it."

I smirked, leaning myself closer to him as I pressed my lips against his.

"I've missed the sweet taste of your lips" Freddie whispered.

I giggled, "It's been two days"

"Two days of Hell" Freddie murmured as he picked me up.

I giggled, "Where are we going?"

Freddie smirked at me, "We're doing something we haven't done in two days"

I laughed as Freddie carried me to the bedroom.

I sat down on the bench near my piano.

I wore my black-laced lingerie from the night before, as I puff away at my cigar.

Freddie smirked at me, "You look sexy that way"

I blushed, "And you look sexy just standing there" I winked at him.

Freddie laughed, walking closer to me as he sits beside me.

We may not have all the answers

I know that we can change some of the things that are beyond our control

And the vision of us may be blurry

But use your heart to see

Just follow the beat, the rhythm will lead you right back to me

Sometimes it's a game of give and take

It's easy to break

But hold on and wait

Have a little faith

I will go down to the last round

I'll be your strength to find you when you get lost in the crowd

So I'll stand up tall, if by chance I fall

Then I'll go down as a casualty of love

The battle of us could be simple

Escape without being hurt

Cause love is our shield, keeps us concealed

From what could get even worse

So baby let me be your soldier

Don't be overtaken by pride

Just close your eyes, take my hand

Promise to keep us alive

Sometimes it's a game of give and take

It's easy to break

But hold on and wait

Have a little faith

I will go down to the last round

I'll be your strength to find you when you get lost in the crowd

So I'll stand up tall, if by chance I fall

Then I'll go down as a casualty of love

All is fair

In love and war

Knock me down

And I'll get back up wanting more

Through the fire and rain

It makes me numb from the pain

That's the price, that's the price, I'll pay

I will go down to the last round

I'll be your strength to find you when you get lost in the crowd

So I'll stand up tall, Baby if I fall

Then I'll go down as a casualty of love

I looked up at Freddie, he was just smiling brightly at me.

I giggled as my lips fell onto his lips.

"I love you" I said.

"I love you too" Freddie giggled.

I straightened my arm out, staring at my ring.

"When should we start planning?" I softly said.

Freddie kissed the side of my head, shrugging, "Whenever you'd like, darling"

I smiled, looking up at him.

The sooner, the better.
