Lie to Me

Lie to Me Part 4

~~Him

I knew the night was coming to a close. I just didn't want to say goodbye. I wanted to be near her as much as possible. I slowly felt myself coming back alive being around her.

We stopped at her car outside the club and she stood there just staring at her car.

"I don't want to sound too forward but can I see you again?" I asked breaking the silence.

"Yeah. I don't have a day off till Sunday but we can do a late lunch on Thursday if you want. I get an hour and a half break during non stop music from 3-430." She answered looking up from beside me.

"Thursday it is. I will text you." I said and I opened my arms for a hug.

She fell into my arms perfectly and I just held her for a minute. I laid my chin on her head. She still used her coconut shampoo. I squeezed her one last time before I started to let go. Her arms were wrapped around my waist.

"Still using the same body wash." She muttered.

I laughed. "Coconut shampoo." I stated and kissed her forehead.

"I will text you." She whispered as I kissed her forehead again. I nodded and gave her a small smile. I stood on the sidewalk and waited for her to drive off. I sighed and walked back to my car.

As I sat down in my car I finally checked my phone. It had been buzzing all night and I didn't pay attention to it except to send her my digital album.

All my bandmates texting me asking if I was ok and where we were at. Even threats of murder sprinkled in if I hurt her again from her brother.

I can't even believe tonight. She let me hug her, we talked like normal people, we weren't as awkward as we were. We made....progress? Maybe?

As I started my car and drove home it made me realize that we had been through so much together and apart it made me appreciate her even more. She was always the strong one. Always the one to be my rock, my sound board, and my angel in disguise.

She deserved better but I didn't want her with anyone else. Call me selfish, possessive, or whatever. I don't care. She's the one for me. I just need to make this right.

After I got home I fell asleep very quickly. In to a dreamless sleep. The first night in forever where I didn't wake up from a nightmare or from stress.

I didn't talk to her much the next day. I was in the studio all day and she was at work. I really didn't hear from her until Thursday morning when she asked if we were still on for lunch.

I jumped at the chance to pick up subs from a corner store we used to visit often. She agreed as I left our house and went to pick up our sandwiches. She got her usual of tuna on wheat with mustard lettuce and tomato. Probably the most disgusting sandwich ever in my opinion.

But I would give her the world if she let me. She deserved that and more. But she would never let me give her the world.

I stood in line remembering when I bought her a pair of diamond earrings. She refused to keep them. So damn stubborn. Said it was too much. I remember her crying.

My thoughts were interrupted by my order number being called. I thanked the girl behind the counter who winked at me and gave me the bag.

I rolled my eyes walking out the door. I threw my shades back on my eyes and walked the 3 city blocks it took to get to her work which I arrived at right on time.

When I was walking into the building she was walking out of the elevator with some people. One of them looked familiar but I only saw the back of his head. One of my bandmates. Why was he here?

"Bye love." I heard her say as they hugged and he kissed her forehead. Fuck that made me jealous. "Bro. Didn't know I would see you here." He said pulling me in to a bro hug.

I smiled and answered, "Yeah man. Brought this short one some lunch."

She pushed me but I didn't budge but I just laughed at her. She rolled her eyes at the both of us.

"Bye weirdo." She said and pushed him off.

I laughed again and brought her in for a hug. "Hey loser." She said looking up at me. "Oh always the sweet one my little one." I said back and kissed her forehead. She smiled bashfully and stole the bag from my hands.

"Wanna go to my office?" She asked.
"Yeah." I said as I pulled off my beanie and wrung in my hands.

"Hey. It's ok. Don't get nervous. It's just me." She said noticing my hesitancy.

"You are more then enough reason to be nervous." I whisper looking down at her.

Her big green eyes lit up and she smiled. Her cheeks and nose turn a very deep red. I loved it when she blushed. She was beautiful.

I put my hand on my heart. "You kill me." I whisper as she grabs my arm and we get in the elevator as she softly laughs.

I watch her pilfer through the bag as soon as we get into her office. Her office has an amazing view if the city skyline.

"Beautiful isn't it? It's my favorite part of all this." She says from behind me. She sitting on top of her desk and already munching on her sandwich. She smiled through the food in her mouth and I just laugh at her.

"Sandwich good?" I asked pointing to what her half eaten sandwich.

"Holy crap yes. I haven't had these sandwiches since we last-" she stopped. "Sorry." She muttered.

"Sooner or later we will need to talk about us." I whispered and she nodded.
