Sequel to Just a Boy. I'm back everyone, who missed me? I've been trying to figure out how to continue the story of Airia, and I think I've done pretty well. I am going to do flash backs of the last seven months, of what has happened, but I knew I had to jump to the now.
I just did the moving thing right, like 7 months ago. But right when the New Year hit I felt the need to move into a bigger place. Maybe it's the fact that Kevin has been spending a lot of time at my place. I totally don't mind, in fact we're thinking of moving in together soon.
Or maybe it has to do with the fact I have a few more pals running around my apartment. Freyja, my gorgeous black Siberian kitten, who was actually found in an alley in the pouring rain 3 months ago. She was drenched, so I took her home, fed her, got her dry and warm. Then I put up flyers, brought her to the vet, all that stuff. After two months and no one came to get her, I named her and decided she was mine. She hasn't been happier. I also got a buddy for Nyx a little while ago. Isis, a charming little cavalier King Charles spaniel, came into our lives about four months ago. I found her in a pound and just decided on a whim to get her. And surprisingly my two dogs get along just fine with each other and with my kitty.
So on the first of January, 2011, I started looking for homes. And sure enough, with some help from a realtor, I found one two weeks later. A beautiful new Spanish colonial with a balcony, a sauna, and a conservatory. I love the house but truthfully, I'm getting tired of moving.
"Can I stop please," I pleaded as I collapsed on my couch. Kevin just laughed at me as he taped up a box and said "hey you bought the place." I rolled off my couch and onto the floor and I said "it was so pretty though." Again, laughter echoed through the room. I glared up at my boyfriend saying "you suck, I love you." He laughed as he reached his hand down and pulled me up off the floor.
I looked around at my almost empty apartment. It was heartbreaking to say goodbye to this place, but I knew I had to go.
"Hard to say goodbye huh," Kev asked wrapping his arms around my waist. I leaned back into him and I rested my arms on top of him, nodding.
My friends are the best at ruining moments, and as proof some of them came through the door just then. Mark, Cory, Chord, and Matt, basically all my strong guy friends with cars, burst through the door.
"Break it up ya animals," Matt said as we let go of each other to help them with the rest of my stuff. I just rolled my eyes at them as I went over to pick up Freyja.
As the guys loaded the rest of my stuff into the elevator I took another look around at the bare space. I heard someone walk over and talk my hand as I shifted Freyja so she sat more comfortably on my chest, proof of her motorboat purring. I looked over at Kev, the one who took my hand and smiled sadly. He lightly kissed my temple and hugged me gently before he followed the rest of the guys out the door.
My footsteps echoed through the room as I walked over to the kitchen. I put Freyja down so I could pull on my green hoodie over my stripped racer back tank. I reached into my jeans and placed the three keys that I had for my apartment. I snapped my fingers at Freyja and pointed to her carrier, and she ran over to it, crawling in and going right to sleep. I sighed at I picked up the carrier and with one last look, I closed the door behind me with a goodbye.
I quickly took the elevator, well, as quickly as you can, down to the parking garage and went over to my friend's cars. Mark was loading Nyx's carrier into my car when I walked up. He had taken a liking to her the last couple months, teaching her tricks I would never, in a million years, get her to do.
"If you guy get to my place before I do just unload the stuff and then you can go. I'll bring everyone over later and buy dinner," I saw Cory give me a sad face which made me laugh as I said "and yes, you guys get more stuff."
I was only climbing in my car by the time the guys were pulling out of the parking lot. Well, except for Kevin, he decided he wanted to mooch a ride off me. With Freyja, Nyx and Isis in the back, I started up the car.
It was quite a drive to get to my new place, on the other side of LA, in the fancier homes, though it was closer to work. I pulled up the driveway and parked next to Cory's car. The boys were out unloading the last few things and after a few minutes they were gone, but not forgotten.
"Oh my god, guys smell gross when they sweat," I said as I started putting boxes in the right rooms. I heard Kevin laugh from the living room as I just shook my head at him. I quickly pulled off my hoodie and pulled my long-ass hair into a pony tail, and got down to work.
Kevin and I worked all day trying to get everything in order, though we were going to start unpacking till later. I love having a boyfriend like Kev, and who doesn't complain and just loves helping me.
"Oomph," I breathed as we both collapsed on the couch in the sunroom or conservatory, either works. Kev just laughed at me as I stared up at the ceiling. I looked over at him, making a face, which just made him laugh harder. I sighed deeply before I slung my leg over Kevin's lap, straddling him. He looked up at me surprised, since I'm usually not so forward. I grinned down at him as I rested him forearms on his shoulders, which showed off my tattoo.
Oh ya, I got a tattoo, a couple actually. The one on my forearm read 'Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.' It was a quote from James Dean, and it had always stuck with me. On my 18th birthday I mourned the murder of my puppy Aella, who was killed just a month before. So I decided to get her paw print tattooed on my hip which angel wings and a halo. She was my best friend, and it hit me so hard that someone could hurt her like they did.
I have a few more, a Phoenix behind my left ear, and a few flying birds beside my collar bone, which I got last month. But enough of that, back to my story.
"This is new," Kevin said as he leaned back to look up at me. I grinned as I inched to kiss him lightly. I felt his hands inch their way up my legs to rest on my hips as he deepened the kiss. I flipped us to Kev was lying on top of me between my legs. He pulled away to look into my eyes startled. I laughed as I pulled him down to kiss me again. I wrapped my legs around his hips and pulled him closer as I deepened the kiss. And this time we weren't interrupted.
We stopped making out long enough to get the place ready for everyone coming over in an hour. We finally got everything don't right as someone knocked on the door. I ran up the stairs to change as Kevin went to get the door. As quick as I could, though it wasn't that fast, went through some boxes to find my red silk halter, which I found. I quickly pulled that one and some clean jeans. I also slipped on my black boots, pulled my hair into a high ponytail, and then ran back downstairs.
Within the two minutes it took me to change my house was filled with people. Chord and Mark we're loading my fridge with booze and such as I passed them. Lea and Dianna, with their new boys, Theo and Alex, were just walking through the door. Cory, Chris and Jenna are in the living room, Naya was talking with Kevin, Harry, Amber and Heather in the conservatory. I walked over to Kevin and wrapped my arm around his waist as I grinned at everyone asking "enjoying my place?" Amber smiled as she said "it's gorgeous." Harry then asked "can I move in?" And I just laughed.
Music suddenly erupted from the living room, and I looked over to see Cory shrugging at me. 'Chain Reaction' by Ke$ha started to play. I just laughed, knowing Jenna picked this. I nodded my head to the beat, but of course, just as all our get-together's go, Harry got up to dance. I just laughed as I took his spot. Kevin joined in after a while, but I didn't, not really feeling like dancing. I've been feeling this way for a while, ever since I was him.
I know it's been almost seven months, but it was so painful seeing him. I don't know why he hasn't come around in all those months. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he's gone, but I don't like not knowing where he is.
I got up when another song came on and went out to my backyard. It was pretty warm, which I wasn't used to in January. Remember I'm from Burnaby in Canada; it's usually snowing at this time. I stripped off my boots, rolled up my pants before I sat down on the edge of the pool and dipped my feet in. I took a deep breath and lay back on the cement to look up at a cloudless sky.
I could hear the music blasting from my house, but somehow it was very peaceful. Just knowing everyone I love is having fun, being happy, is enough to put a smile on my face.
Freyja trotted over to me and climbed onto my stomach, looking down at me confused. It looked like she was asking me why I was outside by myself. I grinned at her and started petting her. I then picked her up and put her to the side so I could sit up. Good thing to because the moment I sat up someone came running and pushed me into the pool. Just my luck huh?
The water hit me like a million tiny needles. The pool was ice cold since I hadn't turned on the heater yet. I finally surfaced, squealing, to a course of laughter behind me. I turned around and saw everyone piled on top of each other to see my face. It looked like it was Lea who pushed me in since she was at the edge of the pool. I spat out the water in the mouth and swam to the edge of the pool. I grinned up at Lea as I pulled myself out of the pool. Because she was laughing so hard it was easy for me to push her in. I just laughed as I walked back into the house hearing the screaming of a wet Lea. When I entered the house I heard giant splashes so I looked and I saw that everyone had jumped into the pool, fully clothed and laughing. Ahh, what a day, couldn't help but smile.
Tell me what you thought. Just as any other story I've had, if I don't get responses I won't update and that will be the end of Airia, which I would hate to see. So REVIEW!
