Moonlight (c.m.)

ch. 14

It was a few days after tour, and you were sitting on your bed, looking around at the boxes. Ghost was sitting on the floor, going through the stuff you had on your bookshelf. You were only a few days out from the day you were allowed to start moving in, but you had a shit ton of things considering you've lived with your brother since you were 19.

"Vinny and Ryan asked if you wanted them to help with moving stuff on Wednesday." Ghost speaks up, looking at his phone.

"You can tell them they're welcome, but they aren't obligated to help. Also, Chris is coming on Wednesday too." You respond, laying back on your bed. You weren't going to lie, you were going to miss living here, but you knew it was better for you in the long run to move out. Devin nods.

"So it looks like most of your clothes are packed, the only difficult thing will be moving the stuff like your bed, dressers and shit." He stands up and stretches his back. He looks at his phone again. "Hey, Kylie wants to go out tonight. You gonna be okay?"

"I think Chris wanted me to come over tonight, so yeah I think I'll be fine. I've got to start planning, his birthday is next month, and so is Halloween." You think, wondering what you're gonna get him.

"Alright, be careful. I'm gonna go start getting ready. We can finish up tomorrow." He says, standing up and walking out of your room. You pull out your phone and text Chris.

You: Hey, when did u want me to come over? Ghost is gettin ready to leave so I'll be bored :(

Chris: I'll be home in about 10 mins, if u wanna leave now I'm sure I'll be there when u get there lol

You: okay lol see u soon <3

You sit down at your vanity and make sure your makeup is okay, and you decide to change clothes. You wear the plaid skirt you had bought on tour with a Motionless shirt you've had a while. It was September, so it was starting to get cooler. You grab your leather jacket and pull on your boots. You leave your hair in its natural state, you didn't want to draw too much attention. You had been to Chris's apartment a few times before, usually tagging along with Devin. You weren't sure if you were going to stay the night, but you kept some spare clothes in your car anyways just for good measure. You shout at your brother and tell him you're leaving and close the door behind you. You text Chris and tell him you're on the way.

Chris is sitting on the couch when you knock on the door. He gets up to open it and smiles down at you.

"Hey beautiful." He greets as he wraps his tattooed arms around you. You smile and hug him back. "How's the packing coming?"

"It's alright, it's gonna be a pain in the ass to move all the heavy shit like my bed and my dressers but besides that I'm almost finished." You shrug off your jacket and drape it across the back of a chair.

"That's where the guys and I come in, so your pretty little body doesn't have to take that kind of strain." He smirks and leans against the side of the couch. You inevitably blush, you've come to the conclusion that you still get flustered when he compliments you.

"Hey, I may be small but I am mighty." You pout and put your hands on your hips.

"Oh I'm sure you are, all 5 feet of you." He laughs.

"Hey! I am taller than 5 feet. By at least a couple inches anyways. Sorry I can't be a human tree like you. You may be taller than me, but you don't scare me mister." You giggle and cross your arms. He raises a perfectly painted eyebrow, accepting that as a challenge. He stands up and approaches you, and you walk backwards until you hit the wall. He towers over you and rests his hand on the wall beside your head.
