Fucking Finally | g.w.

       I sat on the couch, watching Geoff as he played the Xbox. My phone lights up with a message from Otto.

"Hey, can you have Geoff call me? He's not answering me."  It read

I touch Geoff's thigh to get his attention, he doesn't look away from the t.v., actually doesn't even acknowledge me at all. "Geoff." I call out and get a small grunt in response "Listen to me." I tell him and rest my hand on his forearm. He finally finishes the round he's on and looks at me, "What'd you need, babe?" He asks, "Otto needs you to call him." I say and he shakes his head. "I know he does but I haven't learned the chords to the new song." He tells me, setting his controller down and taking a drink from his cup.

     "So turn off the game and pick up the guitar." I tell him seriously. "I know, but maybe just one more round?" I looks at me with puppy eye. "No." I deadpan, "Please. I'm almost done with the whole game." He pleaded, I gave him a stern look. "Geoff, you guys have a gig in less then two days. You need to learn this shit now," I tell him, taking his controller and turning off the console. Geoff huffed and sat in the floor, pulling his guitar into his lap and stroking the strings, tuning it a bit. I smiled as I went into the kitchen, listening as he flipped through pages of sheet music. I came back to Geoff playing the chords to Peach , I smile and sit on the couch, watching him as he intently runs his thumb over the six strings.

     Geoff looks up at me with a soft smile, "come 'ere," he says, motioning with his head. I walk over and sit in front of him, looking with curiosity. He moves so he's sitting behind me, wrapping his arms around me and placing the guitar in my lap. "You said a while back that you wanted to learn one of our songs. This is the perfect time to show you."  He said with a smile, kissing my cheek. Geoff takes my left hand, moving my fingers over the right strings and my right thumb strokes the strings, making a good sounding tune. "Geoff, I did it!" I exclaim with a smile, looking back at him. "Yeah," he chuckles "do this one." He tells me, moving my fingers along the neck and making more nice sounds come from the instrument.

     After an hour of learning how to play the song Peach, my fingers and my thumb were sore and slightly cut. "Is this supposed to happen?" I asked Geoff, showing him my hands, palms up. "Yeah, I used to have bandaids on constantly." He chuckles and sets down his white guitar, propping it against the bookshelf. Geoff sits next to me on the couch and helps wrap the bandaids around my sore fingers. "Well, now I can play Peach and Happy Birthday on the guitar." I laugh a bit, heading to the kitchen for something to drink, Geoff following me. "If you want, I can teach you more songs." He said, getting two glasses down as I pull out the lemonade. 

    "Hell yeah, I'd love that." I told him with a smile, he looked down and pecked my lips, "sounds good." He smiled softly, taking a drink before heading back into the living room. "You should call, or at least text, Otto and let him know you have the chords down so he and Awsten aren't freaking out." I tell Geoff, sitting next to him on the couch. He nods and picks up his phone, pulling up Otto's contact and puts it on speaker. 

   "hello," Otto's voice comes through, "Hey, I got the stuff down for the concert." Geoff says. "Oh, okay, cool." Otto says, "Fucking finally!" We hear Awsten yell in the distance. I chuckle and shake my head, "You guys' are welcome, by the way." I say loudly, "yeah, she took my Xbox away until I learned Peach." Geoff smiled, looking at me. "Fucking good. You deserve it." Awsten said, his voice closer this time. "Well, I have a game to finish so I'll see you guys in a couple days." Geoff told the guys, "Byyyyyye." Awsten and Otto say before the line goes dead.

       Geoff looks at me with pleading eyes, "Please," he says quietly. I roll my eyes and smile, grabbing the controller off the in-table and handing it to him. "Thank you!" He says, kissing my cheek and turning the console on.
