Dating your Coworker- The 12 Year Difference

Onstage

"I'm glad you guys could come," Rob smiled and greeted us both with a hug. We were backstage at his concert, so far it'd been a lot of fun.

"I'm happy you invited us," Richard smiled. 

"I actually wanted to have you go onstage with me for a song or two Rich," Rob raised an eyebrow.

"Sure I'd love to," Richard beamed, "I love being terrible at the guitar onstage."

"You aren't terrible you play well," Rob said.

"I disagree," Richard chuckled. 

"Well there's a million fans who love to hear your voice and your playing," Rob said, "they disagree with you. I gotta go so I'll call you onstage when you're going on."

"Sure," Rich exhaled as Rob rushed away. I put my arm around Richard and pressed a kiss to his hair.

"You aren't nervous are you?" I asked and he shook his head.

"I think Rob is planning something," Richard said and looked up at me, "he had that look on his face. He's gonna try something."

"Like what?" I asked and Richard shrugged.

"It may involve you so beware," he smirked and jabbed me in the side. 

"I'll be on the lookout," I laughed. Me and Rich stayed backstage listening to them play, we couldn't cheer since it'd sound weird to hear clapping backstage. 

"We have a special guest tonight," Rob said and Richard looked at me. I pressed a quick kiss to his lips and smacked his ass, he jumped and flipped me off. 

"Good luck baby," I laughed and he walked onstage.

"Hey how's it goin'?" He waved as he walked onstage, the cheering started to quiet down. 

"Richard, I wanted to do some of the stuff we did with Manns if you're feeling up to it?" Rob said and Richard nodded. They played Wagon Wheel and The Weight but Richard solo covered Miss You by Rolling Stones and Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen. When he was done he was beaming, enjoying every minute of the crowd's cheering. 

"AW JARED!" Someone in the crowd shouted obnoxiously causing Richard to blush a little. He handed the guitar back and Rob picked up the mic, he threw his arm over Rich's shoulder and smiled mischievously. 

"Yeah you seem to be in a love song mood," Rob joked, "your moose is backstage. None of the fans have seen you two together in public yet." The crowd gave off a loud 'aw' before chanting 'Jared' over and over. 

"Why don't you come out Jared?" Rob said and I grew a little nervous, I held my arms over my head and looked down. I walked onstage and there was screaming, Rob removed his arm from Rich.

"Sorry, I'm probably not supposed to bogart Dick," Rob joked and I laughed, "so the first public outing that isn't one of the 5 pictures of you guys on instagram. How's it feel?"

"Is 'fuck you Rob' an acceptable answer?" Richard joked and we stood awkwardly far away from each other, we were both nervous and confused.

"Just wait until we have to do a panel," I muttered and they both laughed. 

"I'm still hosting so no funny business goes on," Richard joked and I laughed. 

"How do you answer a question that is about your sex life?" Rob asked.

"Depends what's the question?" I chuckled nervously, I adjusted my beanie on my head.

"Who's pitcher and who's catcher?" Someone in the crowd yelled and Richard almost doubled over laughing, I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around his waist. I pulled him against me and he looked up at me with a smile, he laid the back of his head on my chest. 

"Isn't it beautiful?" Rob asked and the crowd cheered, it was funny and I loved it. 

"KISS!" A voice screamed, chanting started on the left of the crowd. It spread to the middle, then to the end until everyone was cheering 'kiss'... Including Rob and the others onstage, people had their phones out in anticipation while chanting. I shrugged and Richard smiled, I let go of him and I bent down to kiss his lips. The crowd screamed. I put my hands under his thighs and lifted him up, he wrapped his legs around my waist and I pulled away from his lips. His arms were wrapped around my neck, the crowd was screaming loud enough to shake the building. 

"There we go," Rob smiled. 

"Can I just say my ass got slapped on my way onstage?" Richard said and leaned over to look at Rob, I threw my head back laughing. Richard pulled my beanie off and threw it at Rob.

"It wasn't me by the way," Rob said and raised his hand. 

...

The night ended and I was ready to crash, I fell face first onto the bed and yawned. I pulled a pillow to my chest and cuddled it, closing my eyes and letting my mouth fall open. 

"Sometimes I wish I was as lucky as that pillow," Richard joked.

"I'm so tired," I said and he hummed in agreement. I turned over and cuddled Richard to my chest while the other pillow fell to the floor, I pulled his hair back and kissed under his ear.

"I had fun," I whispered and buried my nose in his hair, "I like showing you off to everyone."

"I like people being jealous that I have a hunk for a boyfriend," he mumbled and I laughed, "don't let them tell you that you're just a pretty face though darling."

"I love you my beautiful baby," I whispered and I could feel him smiling.

"I love you too," he said before I drifted to sleep.
