Breaking and Entering (Reece Bibby)

Chapter 17

 "Feel that love, feel that love again," Leah and I finished singing, both of us laughing hysterically. We clambered off the karaoke stage over towards Blake and Reece.

"What'd you think?" Leah asked, throwing her hair behind her.

"It was beautiful," Blake replied, pulling her into a hug and kissing the top of her head.

"So can we be your backup singers now?" I looked at Reece hopefully.

He chuckled, pulling me closer to him. "I don't think Ben would be okay with that idea. Besides, you can't spend all your time singing with us. You have more books to write." He kissed the tip of my nose and I smiled.

"I want another drink. Something sweet." I smirked, letting out a small giggle.

"Ooo, me too." Leah gave Blake puppy dog eyes.

"I think you two have had enough for the night," Blake replied, turning Leah towards the exit. "I think it's time we go home."

"Aw, but you guys have barely had anything to drink. This was supposed to be a celebration." I move my arms back and forth in an attempt to dance.

"Someone's gotta make sure you two get home. Come on." Reece grabbed my arm and led me towards the door.

After a long walk filled with Leah and I constantly laughing and the boys making sure we didn't accidentally fall into the street, we finally made it back to our building.

"I can walk by myself you know," Leah demanded behind me as we walked out of the elevator. I turned around to watch as Blake led her by the arm down the hallway.

"Oh really?" Blake said smiling. "Let's see it then." He let go of her arm and she started walking alone. She got about two steps away before she started falling over. Blake was quick to grab her arm and steady her again.

"I think she's drunk." I pointed out, waving my finger at her.

"I think you're drunk too." He laughed, leading me towards the apartment door. "I don't think you'd make it a single step on your own before you would topple over," Reece said to me. "But I'm definitely not gonna let you try. Wouldn't want you hurting that pretty face of yours." Reece leaned in and kissed my cheek. I blushed and then started giggling wildly again.

"I'm drunk." I laughed, tilting my head back. I let out a burp and covered my mouth with wide eyes before falling into a laughing fit again.

"Well, I'd rather have you be a laughing drunk than a sad drunk." Reece chuckled as he continued to move me down the hallway towards our apartments.

"Is George a sad drunk?" I asked. "We should go ask him." I turn in the direction of the boys' door before I'm pulled back by Reece.

"I'm not so sure that's a good idea. We'll check on him tomorrow. Right now we're going to get you into the shower so you can go to bed."

"Make that two of you," Blake added, stopping Leah in front of the door of our apartment.

"But I don't want to go to bed yet." I pouted, crossing my arms in front of me.

"Me either," Leah whined. I looked at her and laughed, finding the situation hilarious. Soon, Leah joined in on my giggling and we were one loud ball of laughter.

"Shhh. You guys have to keep it down or people are going to get mad." Reece said, trying to guide me into the apartment.

"What's going on out here?" I turned around to find George sticking his head out of the boys' apartment. He looked tired, like he'd been crying for hours.
