Rebel lovers

The apartment

"Urgh, another day in the shithole."

You sit up and haul yourself out of bed. the alarm is still ringing but you honestly don't care. all you can think about is having to spend another day at work. at least Andy would be there. he helps to pass the time when you have to go to work. suddenly realising you are late, you throw your clothes on and rush out of the house.

You get into work at 7:05. Andy is standing behind the bar. He gives you a wave,

"You're late.."

"Just by five minutes."

You tie your hair up and make your way over to him. He smiles and throws you a bag of popcorn,

"So I'm having a party tonight if your interested in stopping by."

"Sure. If I'm still alive after this unbearable shift!!"

"Well, we'll have to make sure you survive won't we?"

He grabs your hand and pulls you towards the door,

"We have work, Andy! We could get in trouble!"

"I'd rather that than have my fair maiden in danger of collapsing from boredom!"

He pulls you into his car and gets in beside you,

"So where'd you wanna go?"

"Back to work! Andy, we could get fired!"

"Not if the can't catch us!"

He starts the car and drives out of the parking lot. The car is silent. Andy's eyes are focused on the road. You look at him for a moment, noticing how perfect he is,

"So where are we going?"

"I was thinking my place. It's not much but we have good beer."

"Well, if there's beer..."

The car pulls in outside his apartment. He leads you inside and opens the front door. The apartment is small but nicely decorated. Andy points towards a door on the other side of the hall,

"That's my room, that door there's Ash and Jake's room. That's CC's room there and our other band mate lives out of town."

"Cool what's his name?"

"Jeremy... but we all call him Jinxx. Here's the living room."

He opens the first door and lets you walk in. The Television is on and there's someone sitting on the couch. You assume he is one of Andy's band mates,

"Oh hey!"

"Hi. I'm Jake." He looks you over for a minute, "and you must be.... Andy's hot work friend.."

Andy groans and shakes his head in embarrassment. Jake looks up and Andy gives him an angry glare,

"You want a beer?"

"Sure."

"Jake, could you run to the market for me? I need supplies for the party tonight"

"yeah, sure! I'll be back in an hour or so.."

Jake gets up and leaves the room, giving you a wink as the door closes. Andy opens the fridge and tosses you a can of beer. You perch on the couch and take a sip. Andy sits down on the couch beside you,

"So," he whispers, his voice husky and deep, "you have a boyfriend?"

"No. I don't"

He licks his lips and runs his hand through his hair,

"Any candidates?"

He leans towards you, slowly placing his hand on your waist. He brings his face close to yours and breathes heavily on your cheek. Half of you wants to tell him to stop but the other half is curious about what it would feel like to have his lips on yours. You can feel your heart racing in your chest. His lips softly caress your neck and you let out a soft moan under your breath. He's gentle, careful not to make you uncomfortable but you know you shouldn't be letting him do this,

"I can't do this," you whisper,

"Yes you can,"

"We need to get the party ready.."

"Later." He breathes.

You jump up from the couch and snap your fingers. Andy laughs awkwardly under his breath,

"Can you point me to the bathroom?"

"Just in there."

"Right."
