Rhiannon's pov
The next day I woke up with the blazing sun in my eyes and the door bell going off. When I tried to stand up Jared drug me deeper into the bed, mumbling incoherently. "Jared there's someone at the door. Let me up." I struggled against him only to be met with grunts. "Jared..."
"Just stay here. They'll go away. You're so warmmmmmm."
My phone started blaring in my ear, "Jarrred, please it's Lilly."
"Who?"
"My PA."
He released his grip around me, and rolled out of bed "Get dressed I'll go let her in." He pulled sweats on and padded off down the stairs. I swung my leg over the side of the bed noticing the dull ache between my legs. Note to self- don't hold off for three years. I pulled on some shorts , a bra, and one of Jared's cutoffs.
When I reached downstairs Lilly was standing by the door and Jared was face down into the couch. When I caught Lily's attention she raised her eyebrow and glanced at Jared. I walked into the kitchen with her in tow. "You weren't kidding were you?" I pulled a bottle of water out the fridge and smiled. "So have you...?" I just looked at her, and mouthed 'oww'. "I'll take that as a yes."
I turned back to the fridge for food but was met with nothing. My stomach growled. "Food. I need it. Lily feed me."
Lily being from New Jersey had a very thick accent, "I'm not your motha, Batman."
"Why Batman?" We turned to see Jared shuffling in rubbing his eyes. He's so cute. He came behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. I started to tense up and he squeezed me. I looked at Lilly who seemed to be surprised.
My stomach growled.
"Because my brothers name is Robyn." He chuckled and mumbled something into my neck.
Lily looked just as confused with the situation as I was. The silence started to become uncomfortable until my stomach went off again. The three of us broke out into a fit of giggles.
Jared went out to get some food while Lilly and I discussed my "retirement". She was convinced that working so much is what led me to the drugs. " Fine I'll hand everything over but I get last say when big shit happens."
"Fair enough, sign the papers." She pushed a thick stack of papers towards me. "Now the house, they accepted your offer. I guess the other person bidding on the house was smart enough not to pay twice what it's worth..."
"What? I wanted the house and I get what I want. When do we close?" She handed me more papers to sign. "Can't I get a stamp or something? As much shit as I have to sign." She ignored my question and continued to shuffle papers.
"What the deal with you two?"
"What do mean?"
"You know what I mean Rhiannon. Have you told him about the last relationship you were in?" The front door opened and Shannon walked in and rolled his eyes and went back to the studio. A few minutes later Jared walked in with Emma and the food. We ate as we talked to our PAs.
"When do I get to see my house?"
"Monday. What are you guys doing the rest of the day?"
Before I could answer Jared jumped in, mouth full of food, and put out a word I assumed to be dogs. The three of us looked at him. The stare down was interrupted by the Star Wars Theme coming from my phone.
Jared swallowed his food, "Star Wars? Really?"
"That only the ringtone for Gerard." I fumbled with the phone answering it as I walked in the other room. "Hi G." I was ready for the speech I had coming for me.
"Thank God, you're still alive! Are you in New Orleans? You better not be fucked up right now other wise I'll come down there and drag you back kicking and screaming."
"No. I'm in LA still I just bought a new house I move in Monday, and I'm clean, it's OK."
"Good, because these brats of yours miss you. So does Bandit."
"I know." God I felt like shit. "Can I come get them?"
"Oh yeah come whenever."
"OK thanks G."
"Anytime B-man."
I hung up the phone and walked back into the kitchen. Everyone stopped talking and looked at me. "What?"
Jared cleared his throat, "I didn't know you knew Gerard." There was a slight touch of jealousy in his remark.
"Yeah, he's like my big brother. I've known him since we moved to Jersey. They lived next door and he'd ride the train with me to Manhattan then walk me to school before he went to work. Same on the way back." I poked at my food a bit; I had lost my appetite. I feel so guilty for making everyone worry.
"Oh, well is he the one with the dogs?" I nodded "And the cello?" I nodded again. He took the last bite of food and stood. "Well? Let's go then!" He looked down at me like he expected me to be headed out the door already.
"You're pretty adamant about that cello aren't you."
He gave me a silly look, "Um, yeah." Then flipped his hair and strut off. He's such a diva. I followed and we headed over to Gerard's. Needless to say he was surprised when I showed up with Jared. I explained everything as we went inside.
Later that night I was sitting in the back yard quietly. When Jared crept up behind me and yelled "Guess what time it isssss!"
"Jesus Christ Jared!"
"You don't have to use my full name you know." He walked around me and placed himself on the end of the chase. "Sooo, guess, guess, guess!" He was bouncing around like a child.
"Time to take your meds?"
He stopped and look flatly at me. "No." He couldn't contain himself so he started bouncing again.
"What time is it Jared?" I swear if you tickle me...
"Well it's two times really. It's time for a surprise and time to play your cello."
I groaned. "What's the surprise?"
"Well. I just got a phone call."
"That's it. That's the surprise?"
"No! It's the contents of the call. I...me..." He points to himself. "Got offered a roll."
"As?"
"Are you ready? This is the surprise. They asked me to play the joker in Suicide Squad."
Well that is a surprise. "You're super serious?" He noded. "And you're taking it?". He shrugged." WHY NOT!?!?"
"I don't know. I'm not sold on it."
"Jared this is the role of a lifetime! You're at the top of your acting career. People want you. Is this not your dream?" He had no reply for me. He just sat down next to me and stared into space.
