Melancholy Blues

Meeting

A/N: Thank you to everyone who has been reading! I know it's going pretty slow so please just bare with me. Again this is just a fan fiction so of course it isn't going to be accurate. Just a story♥️

Freddie gets up out of the bed and goes over to his suitcases piled by the window. He starts to rummage though them" Come on now darling, we've got to get going. The boys want to meet you. We're going to dinner and maybe a drink". He raises his eyebrows at me making a pout face and pointing at me. "Let's take it easy though." He says softly. I get up and find all of my clothes that were previously thrown onto the floor. My stomach began to swirl with anticipation and nerves. I went into the bathroom to straighten up my hair and makeup. My hands were shaking...what if this doesn't go well? What if they don't like me? I have nothing right now except for him and if they don't like me I'll lose it all.. Freddie popped in and came from behind me embracing me, resting his chin on my shoulder. "Don't worry love. They'll like you. What's not to like?" He seemed to read my mind. I looked up at him eyes full of worry and fear. "Freddie...what if they don't...what will happen if they don't? ...hell what will happen if they do?! What if-" he cut me off by pulling his lips onto mine "sh sh sh you're thinking too much about it. Just relax. You'll have to meet them eventually and the sooner the better. Tonight we will discuss how we're going to get you to cone along with up. We will need to plot a bit. And of course get to know each other ." He smiled at me holding my chin with his thumb and index finger. I'm just going to have to trust him.

We go and put on our shoes and walk out the door and down the hotel hall. I don't really know what to do with my hands so I just keep fidgeting. We get into the elevator and Freddie lets me in first and pushes the button for the lobby. As soon as the door closes he grabs me close and starts kissing me. He makes his way to my neck and bites it giving it a gentle suck. My knees go weak and I feel my face getting warm as I entangle my fingers into his hair giving it a little tug behind his head. He bites harder letting out a small gentle moan. Suddenly the elevator makes a small ding and the doors open up. Immediately he stops and starts walking out. Leaving me there caught in a daze face flushed. How is he just fine afterwards?! He turns around looking for me as I quickly scurry to catch up with him. V: "What was that?! What just happened?! Really?! In the elevator?!"
He lets out a loud laugh causing me to blush
F: "Oh darling, life is too short to not have a little fun whenever you get the chance! I couldn't stay away from temptation!" He gives me a playful little wink and smile then takes my hand and leads me out of the lobby.
We start walking down the street as he was telling the restaurant we were going to was only a couple of blocks away. It fees beautiful outside. It's around 5 pm and the sun is beginning to set turning the warmth of the day into cool crisp fresh air. At least this is distracting me from how nervous I am. I just can't mess this up.
F: "Christ! Stop worrying! I can see it all over your face!" He says playfully
V:" HOW CAN I NOT WORRY?!"
He's immediately taken back by my reaction and his eyes widen. He stops walking and holds me close against his chest and strokes my hair
F:"....just be yourself..they're nice...Don't worry so much. We will get everything figured out. I won't let anything bad happen. Alright?"
I look up at him and give him a nod and a smile. He bends down a bit to touch his nose to mine nuzzling it from left to right. I feel butterflies dancing around in my stomach. His smile makes me feel like the sun is shining on my face and I can never help but smile back.
We start walking a bit and after crossing a street he stops at a restaurant on the corner. F:" here we are!" He opens the door for me. It's dimly lit and I can hear light conversations in all directions. Freddie goes and talks to the hostess and grabs my hand lacing his fingers with mine and pulls me through the restaurant following her.
She eventually let us to a table where the 3 men from this morning were sitting. They were all laughing and in conversation when we walked up and they greeted Freddie very warmly. After they exchanged hellos Freddie cleated his throat loudly and pulled me in front of him. He put his arm around my shoulders. F:" Okay everyone I would love for you to all meet miss Violet! She's my gir-errrr friend? Close friend! She is my very close friend!" He tensed up while stumbling on his words. And then I realized we hadn't had "that talk" oh no. I didn't even think about it before. Everything has happened so quickly. I guess he was right? We, at that point we're just friends...the thought leaves a sinking feeling in my chest.
The blonde man is wearing sunglasses and a white t-shirt and stands up "close friends now? That's not how you made it sound this morning! You were blabbing on and on about your-". The man with long tightly curled hair stood up quickly and covered the blondes mouth. He looked at me and introduced himself. " Hello there miss Violet. I'm Brian. This rude one here is Roger." The blonde one uncovered his mouth "rude one?! What the fuck?! I'm just being honest!
F:" pleaaaaase Roger" said through clenched teeth with his entire face turning red"please bow is not the time."
V:" H-Hello Brian! And hello Roger!" I say quickly trying to just diffuse the situation as fast as possible. I'm not exactly sure what's going on but I just want to keep the peace.
The last man sitting at the far end of the table just sat watching us all while drinking what appears to be a golden colored alcohol out of a short glass with ice. He had long dark brown straight hair a bit past his shoulders. F: "And this here is John!" Freddie points to him causing him to blush. He doesn't seem to like being singled out. V: "Hello there John" I smile at him giving him a little wave" I'm Violet". He smiles and gives a wave back before standing up and reaching out to shake my hand.
Me and Freddie take our seats and he hands me a menu. God do I need a drink. These nerves are seriously about to be the death of me! Freddie continues to make small talk while a waitress comes over asking if we wanted anything to drink. All of the boys spoke at once trying to refill their drinks causing the waitress to hurriedly attempt to write everything down on a little pad of paper. She finally finishes up and asks me. I gulp. I don't have any money..and I just look at her stumbling over my words trying to give her any sort of response. F:" you know I've got it right?" Freddie leans in to say in a whisper raising his eyebrows. I'm stunned giving him an "are you sure?" Look. "Of course! What do you drink? Wine? Do you like wine? She'll have wine. Something sweet? Okay good!" The waitress walks off in a hurry and I lean in to Freddie.
V: "you sure? I feel so bad..-"
F:"Absolutely! Why would I bring you through all of this if I didn't intend on caring for you?" He gives me the biggest reassuring smile and kisses my forehead.
R: " okay so now what is all of this? What's going on?"
B: "Yeah I agree. What is the actual story Fred? You can't just tell us you're bringing someone along without filling us in"
F: " well personal specifics aside...We met and some things happened....mmhummm and well I can't just leave without her now..I need to bring her along. I need her around me"
Everyone was silent for what seemed like forever. Freddie held my hand tightly underneath the table and looked down clearly very anxious.
B: " Well then I guess that's that?" Brian looked around at the others and they both eventually nodded. "As long as it's no trouble or anything I personally don't see a problem. Fred seems quite taken with you." Brian gives me a sweet smile.
F:" God yes! Thank you!" Freddie quickly hugs me and holds me so tight I can barely breathe as he then grabs my face covering it with small kisses
R: " okay! gross! hey now settle down we're all still here you know?!"
Freddie gives a small laugh and sits back down beaming with a smile that could light up the sky. The waitress is now back with all of our drinks. She hands me my wine and passed out all of the other drinks. Freddie stands up and holds his glass up" a toast to my Violet!". Oh nooo don't do that! I think to myself. I'm much too shy for all of this. he kisses my forehead" to us darling" he clings our glasses together and finishes his immediately "waitress! I'll need some more!"

We're all at the table making small talk and eating dinner, attempting to quickly get to know each other. Until now I had no idea the band Freddie was with was actually as big as they were. I hadn't listened to a radio or watched tv in so long. I was just a homebody. Everyone at the table looked at me completely shocked. I explain a bit of my situation. I had been living with my family still but my-ex boyfriend if you could even call him that lived with us. My parents had loved him but that was all just an act. Everything that happened behind closed doors was anything but happy. All I was to him was a puppet. I didn't even have friends anymore. Just someone that I had to answer to. Someone that I was afraid of. Someone Freddie had saved me from.
R:" err...so why are you coming with us then? Because he got you out? Is that why? I hope that isn't all.."
Freddie puts his face in his hands and elbows onto the table
V:"I know it's all very sudden...and regardless of how quickly it's happening..I've never gotten butterflies like this around anyone..never trusted someone the way I trust him. Never felt so safe, so happy...so..well complete." Freddie looks up at me and I hold his hand in both of mine. His eyes looked bloodshot and drowsy. He had clearly had enough to drink. I smiled at him and with one of my hands I brush his hair out of his face. " I've never fallen for anyone the way I've fallen for you. Such an amazing person just from the start. So...perfect". His eyes were locked with mine and in that moment no one else existed in that room. He grabs my face and our lips crash into each other's. He kisses me so deeply our tongues dancing around with one another's. Hands grabbing fistfuls of hair passionately and both of us gasping for breath.
Unfortunately in that moment we were however not alone and received a very uncomfortable distressed groan of disgust from the rest of the table. We release each other and quickly sit back in our chairs.
B: " Hey were all still here!"
F:" then we need to go...now..like right now"
The entire table gives each other confused looks and they all try and question us at once.
F: " Bother is tomorrow we will be in the room in the morning" he pulls some money out of his pocket and grabs my hand pulling me up and trying to get me to go with him.
V:" um bye everyone! I'll see you-".
I'm rushed out of the restaurant by Freddie's hand. He's walking quickly down the street and keeps looking back at me giving me little smiles. We finally arrive back to the hotel and he rushes to the elevator. Once we're inside he begins frantically pressing the button of our floor. As soon as the doors close he wraps his arms around my neck continuing our interrupted kiss from before. One of his hands makes its way down to my backside and gives is a tight squeeze making me quickly gasp. He then licks me from my collarbone to my neck and begins sucking eliciting a low groan from me. The doors then open but he doesn't stop right away this time. He just attempts to walk backwards and make his way out but he begins to stumble. He releases me and takes my hand running down the hall. As soon as he gets it open he hurries inside quickly shutting the door. He runs over and jumps onto the bed laying down and looking back at me motioning with his hands to follow. I take off my shoes and walk over getting onto the bed. I climb up on top of him straddling him and give him a gentle small kiss on the lips. He wraps his arms around me and pulls me down and then pulls himself on top of me. F: "I have something I need to ask you... " his words trail off and his body becomes very tense. V:" of course, what is it?" F:" w-would you...like to be my girlfriend?" His voice was so soft and shaky. It made my heart melt immediately. Tears began to flow from my eyes as I pull his face down to kiss it. Our foreheads still touching. V:" Absolutely. I couldn't imagine my life not being with you. You've already stolen my heart"
