Tour was going great. Every show was sold out and brought a different type of energy each time, I loved it. We now had a week break for Christmas but the day after, we were back on the road.
The twins were still with me. Vanessa called to check in with them from time to time but she completely fell off the grid when it came to the internet. How did I know? The same way I found out about everything nowadays, Alexa. She really was like a goddamn FBI or something. It was insane.
That's also where I was now, her apartment. Vivian took the kids on an 'auntie day' to pick out some things they wanted for Christmas. And I'd have to thank her for that because I could never get enough of these lips... the top ones, don't be dirty minded.
It all started with Alexa singing one of my songs. I told her how much I loved her voice, she kissed me, now we were on the floor of her apartment.
Our tongues intertwined perfectly as I gripped the bottom of her sweater and teasingly raised it up, goosebumps raising to her skin at the cold wind draft. When I felt her hands leave my hair, I softly pulled back and saw her hands up. Amen. I slid the sweater over her head and dropped it onto the ground before lowering my head to kiss over her neck.
She slid her hands under the back of my shirt and slowly rubbed my back as she dropped her head back. I grabbed her hands from my back and interlocked our fingers before pinning her hands above her head as I kissed up her jaw.
I felt her fingers tighten in my hold before her body stiffened and I was barely able to make out the whisper, "Wait stop." I immediately pulled back and her hands shot to her face as she groaned.
"Did I do something?" I whispered breathlessly.
She shook her head and mumbled, "I hate that asshole."
I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. Asshole? What asshole- ohhh. I slowly sat back and crisscrossed my legs, watching as she shook her head to herself. "Was it the pinning? I'm sorry if I triggered something, I'll avoid doing that-"
"No see," she sat up and grabbed my hands. "I don't want you to be censored or whatever. I like what you do it's just.. sometimes I get flashbacks but they aren't often. I don't want you to change anything though."
I looked at her uncertainly and she sighed before grabbing her sweater and pulling it on. "Are you sure? I don't want to trigger you or make you think of.. him when you're with me."
"I know." She mumbled before leaning forward and pecking my lips, her arms wrapping around my neck as her head fell into my neck. "And you're the sweetest person for being the way you are, thank you."
I nodded and kissed her head. "But if you don't want me to change or you don't want me to become more cautious, I'll abide by your wishes. I just need you to tell me to stop whenever and I will. Even if we're just kissing, you tell me."
"I will, I promise." She pulled back and smiled at me, the little right cheek dimple making its appearance. "You always say I'm perfect but have you seen yourself dude?"
I chuckled and flicked her nose playfully. "No I haven't dude." I looked over her head and squinted. "Is that your Christmas tree?"
She looked over her shoulder at the two foot Christmas tree with one single red ornament.
