I Just Love You (A collection of Adommy one shots)

Chapter 29

[In Adam's POV]

"Ready?" Brian asked as we all squished into the van. Let's see: Brian, Ashley, Tommy, Isaac, Keisha, Reyna, Sauli, and me. Talk about too many people! But I love all of them, so I don't mind.

We drove to the pub nosily. We deserve a night out! We've been working so hard on getting this new album ready. I'm so proud of everybody. I can't believe that we go on tour in just two months!

Unfortunately, Sauli has to go back to Finland tomorrow. He has a few interviews and such.

I couldn't even talk over everyone. I just sat and watched people. Keisha, Reyna, and Ashley gossiped about whatever celebrity. Isaac, Brian, and Sauli laughed loudly at something Isaac had just joked about. I watched as Tommy just kinda listened in as well. But it struck my curiosity when I realized how close him and Ashley were sitting. I mean, everyone is squished together; but they are unusually close. What really got me wondering is that Ashley's pinkie rested just inches away from Tommy's pinkie. Over the course of the ride, their pinkies got closer until they were practically pinkie promising something that I didn't know about.

As soon as we got to the pub, I climbed out and found Sauli. "Holy crap I couldn't breathe in there!" I pulled him close, kissing his sweet lips. God I'm gonna miss him.

Luckily, the owner of this pub graduated in my class. He's letting us in a private back room and all the drinks are free! He wasn't necessarily nice to me; so this is his way of making it up to me. That's a plus of being famous! We went into the private room and ordered our drinks. Everyone chattered loudly. Usually, I'd be the center of it all, blabbering. Thankfully, no one noticed me just sitting back and watching. But something doesn't feel right tonight. Although everything seems fine; people are just a little bit off - they don't even noticed it. Ashley and Tommy, Tommy and me. Even Sauli. We all are hiding something.

I was so deep in thought that I didn't notice when everyone was starring at me. "Sorry?" I asked.

"You've been really quiet tonight." Brian remarked.

"Oh, just a sore throat. Ya know, gotta keep my voice in tip top shape." I laughed. No one saw through my lie. I even noticed that Tommy was being quiet; but that was expected. He really seems to be getting comfortable with this new band, though. When I saw him sneak off to go to the bathroom, I followed him, going unnoticed.

"Hey." I said, scaring him.

"Shit Adam." Tommy held his hand over his heart, startled.

"Sorry."

"Hey." Tommy said awkwardly.

"So, what's up? You seem quiet. And what's with you and Ashley?" I know I kinda just cornered him and attacked him.

"What's with the interview?" Tommy said, slightly annoyed. "Nothing." He said, turning away.

"Tommy, I know that you're lying. You're my - best friend." I hesitated before best friend. I almost said boyfriend. My heart ached a little.

He sighed. "Don't tell anyone."

"Ooh, do tell." I said, intrigued.

"Ashley and I are, kinda dating. We had a one night stand a few weeks ago. I don't know how official it is yet. Just don't let it out yet."

My jaw dropped; but it felt more like my heart dropped. "Cool! That's so awesome! It's good that you're seeing someone!" I said enthusiastically. Tommy broke into a grin. A quiet murmur from the pub leaked under the door. The bathroom was dim lighted and smelled like cleaners. A few beats passed where Tommy and I just starred at each other.

I leaned forward and kissed him. I don't know if it was the alcohol, but I didn't care. I didn't care about Sauli; I didn't care about Ashley. I didn't care that anyone could walk in at any moment and catch us. I pressed Tommy up against the wall and dominated him with my mouth. Tommy dug his nails lightly into my back. I pressed closer to him. My feelings grew so big inside me that I had to resist moaning like a dog begging for treats.

"Adam..." Tommy stopped me. "They're gonna get suspicious. I'll go out first, then you." Tommy kissed me harder, then turned and left.

My head swarmed with guilt, but my heart swarmed with love. Although all of this confused me, I didn't care about Sauli anymore - I only care about Tommy.
