Christmas with Queen 2019

Advent Day 13

Hot Chocolate - Roger

The past 4 months have been a bit difficult. But the truth was, I feel like I'm finally feeling a lot better about myself and the whole situation.

Basically my, now ex, boyfriend is in a band. His name is Roger and he plays the drums. The band had grown popularity very quickly and Roger was busy all the time. This meant that I hardly saw him, even when we were still together. In July the band, Queen, went on tour. Before they left me and Roger talked. He said I deserved to have someone who spends every second of every minute with me and that he can't be that person. We decided to break up. Only now I'm feeling myself again, for ages I was a grumpy emotional mess.

Even though we were no longer together, I still knew what Queen were up to. I knew they were coming home some time in December so they can have Christmas with their families. I watched them on TV a lot too, although it broke my heart a little to hear Freddie say in an interview that Roger was pining over a lady. I'm glad he's moved on, I wish I could've as quickly too. My friend has convinced me to go 'man hunting' this weekend at the club in town and I finally feel like I'm ready to try having a relationship again.

I was cuddled up to a blanket whilst watching TV. It said on the news that Queen had just landed at Heathrow. I smiled when I saw the boys waving at the fans and press with big smiles on their faces.

The rest of the night I stayed wrapped up in a blanket whilst reading a book. The faint sound of the radio coming from the kitchen was the only sound in the house. That was until there was a frantic knock on the door. I hauled myself up from my comfy position and went to the door.

"Roger?" I said as I opened the door. He was stood there, soaking wet from the rain

"Please let me in?" He shivered

"Yeah yeah, please do, you'll catch a cold" He walked past me and into the hallway

"Before I ask what you're doing here, I think I still have some of your spare clothes. You should probably get changed" I suggested

"Yeah I will" Roger trudged upstairs

"Bottom of the wardrobe. I'll be in the living room" I called up

"Alright, thanks" He shouted

I went and sat in the living room and began to think. What the hell is he doing here? It feels so strange to have him here again.

"Y/n" Roger spoke softly and brought me out of my daze

"Hmm?" I looked up at him

"Where shall I put my wet clothes?" He asked

"Uh, just put them up on the radiator in the hallway" I nodded

Before I knew it, Roger was back and sat next to me.

"The last few months have been mad" Roger sighed

"What are you doing here Rog?" I turned to face him

"I can't do it anymore. I've missed you so much and I couldn't get back to you for so long. As soon as we landed, Brian drive me home and then I ran straight here. Please, I want to be with you" Roger's eyes were begging me

"Freddie said on TV that you were pining over someone" I looked down

"It was you, only you" Roger grabbed hold of my hands. His skin was freezing cold

"After Christmas you're back on tour. I won't see you again for ages. This is the whole reason why we broke up in the first place" I reasoned

"P-please. I'll make it work, I have to - I have to be with you. I can't live without you" Roger sniffled as he shivered 

"Let me get you a drink, hot chocolate? I've even got marshmallows" I smirked

"Yes please" Roger nodded

I got up and went to the kitchen. I needed some space and time away from Roger right now. He had placed a massive bombshell on me, just as I was starting to move on all my previous feeling have come flooding back. I took a deep breath before making two mugs of hot chocolate. As I dropped the marshmallows into the sweet beverage I thought about Roger, it's probably best if we talk things through and made some sort of plan. I walked back into the living room and saw Roger quickly wipe his eyes before putting on a fake smile. I placed the mugs on the coffee table before sitting down next to him.

"You alright?" I asked him softly

"We just had the best tour, I should be feeling on top of the world but I just feel so..." Roger scratched his head to try and find the word

"Lost?" I butted in

"Exactly" he sighed

"I felt the same" I nodded

Roger picked up his mug and held it close to warm himself up. I had a sip of my own and the burning liquid gave me a warm glow.

"So, what now?" Roger said in his raspy tone

"I can't do this again if I can't see you. You'll be on tour again in a few weeks, I don't know what to do Rog" I sighed heavily

"I know, I know what you could do" I looked into Roger's eyes and he had that cheeky glint

"What?" I asked cautiously

"Come on tour with us?" Roger had optimism and uncertainty in his voice

"Just like that? It's not as easy as that Roger" I whined

"I don't care. I'll do everything and anything to be with you. If you say yes, I promise you that the only time we will be apart is when I'm on stage and you're in the front row of the audience" Roger pleaded

"It's worth a shot" I smirked

"Really?" Roger's entire face life up

"Yes, really" I nodded as I leaned in and planted my lips on to Roger's. He put his hands on my cheeks as he deepened the smooch.

"I promise you, everything will work out this time" Roger grinned
