I pushed Troy into the elevator, pinning him against the wall. I pressed his floor number before covering his lips with mine. He picked me up, spinning me around so my back was resting against the wall. His lips pried away from mine, covering my collarbone up to my neck. I squeezed my eyes shut, holding onto him.
Once my party was over and we cleaned up the best we could with a bunch of drunk adults. Mr. Blackwell locked up the café and Troy and I walked to his apartment since Chad was staying in mine. We would have more privacy there.
When Troy's lips found mine I broke out of my thoughts, focusing on the feeling of his lips against mine. The elevator dinged and he put me down. We walked over to his apartment and I pulled on my dress, smoothing it down. He opened his apartment and we walked in. He closed the door behind me. I put my clutch down on his coffee table. I took off his jacket that he wrapped around me, putting it on the couch.
"Are you thirsty?" He asked, walking to the kitchen.
I licked my lips, sitting on the couch. "Yeah, can I get water? Please." I kicked off my heels and put my feet on the table. I just noticed my feet were starting to hurt. Troy came back to the couch with a cup of water for me. I took it from him, taking a long drink. "Thank you." I said.
He sat down next to me and I put my feet in his lap. "Did you have a good birthday party?" He asked, leaning over toward me, resting his head on my chest.
"I actually did." I said, running my fingers through his hair slowly. "Did you have a good time?"
Troy nodded his head. "I did too." I kissed his forehead gently. I picked up my glass again, taking a quick drink of water. I set it down on the table. I slid under him so my back was flat against the couch. He was practically on top of me. He leaned down and kissed my lips slowly. "Are you going to come back on tour with us?"
I licked my lips, looking at him. "If you keep kissing me like that then I might have to." I said giggling. I pulled his face down to mine. I kissed his lips firmly. "Are you going to or is this going to be a one time thing?"
He looked at me, baffled. "I hope I get to keep kissing you." A slow grin spread on his face. "Do you want me to kiss you anytime I felt like it?" He pecked my lips gently.
I wanted to answer yes, so badly. Even though I was drunk, I looked up at him. "If you wake up and you still want to kiss me when we're sober then you can kiss me anytime you want. I've been waiting for this for so long, I don't want to get my hopes up just to have them crushed in the morning."
"I love you, Gabi. You're the best thing that ever happened to me, drunk or sober. I promise." He cuddled up to me, putting his face in my neck.
"I'm sleepy." I said, quietly. My fingers were still running through his hair. He kissed my neck and sat up. "Where are you going?"
He pulled me up. "Were going to bed." He said, leading me to the bedroom. He pulled his shirt over his head, taking off his pants. I reached to the side and pulled the zipper of my dress down. I let it fall and stepped out of it. I walked over to the bed and crawled in. "Do you want a shirt or something?"
"No, I'm hot." I cuddled with the cold pillow, lying on his bed. "It feels good." I said with a sleepy smile.
He crawled in bed next to me and pulled me toward him. "You're like a heater when you sleep. You're going to make me hot."
I put my hands on his chest and groaned. "How am I supposed to sleep with you next to me, like this?" My fingertips brushed down his chest slowly, down his abs. My eyes flicked up to his and I smiled. "You're so sexy."
"You're beautiful." Troy's hands moved down the curves of my body slowly. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I wrapped my legs around him. I leaned down and kissed his lips slowly. "I am so in love with you." He mumbled against my lips.
I felt the butterflies bubble up again. I smiled against his lips. He pulled away and looked behind him. "Can we just lay like this forever?" I asked, sighing in content.
"Happy Birthday Beautiful." He said after he turned back over to face me.
I kissed his lips gently. "Thank you for making it good." I cuddled against his chest, closing my eyes. "I wish David was at my party. He would have made it perfect."
"If David was still alive, I think everything would be completely different." Troy said, running his fingertips along my back slowly.
I yawned, nodding. "I guess you're right."
"Sweet dreams Gabi." He whispered in my hair.
"Goodnight Troy." I mumbled quietly. I drifted off to sleep as he rubbed my back slowly.
When I woke up I looked around to see I was alone in the bed. I closed my eyes and rolled over to my stomach, cuddling to the pillow next to me. It pulled up the blankets more. I felt my head pounding so I tried to lay as still as possible to get it to stop. I felt a weight lay on the bed next to me. Two arms wrapped around me, snugly.
I shifted so my head rested against his warm chest. His lips found my forehead. I opened my eyes to look up at him. He was watching me. A small smile broke out on his face. "Good Morning birthday girl." He said softly, rubbing my back.
I groaned and closed my eyes. He chuckled and pushed back my hair. "On a scale of okay to disgusting, how bad do I look?" I looked up at him, again.
"I've never seen anyone more beautiful." Troy said, grinning. He kissed my lips gently.
I kissed him back, putting my head on his arm. "Did you make coffee yet?"
"No, I was planning to go out for breakfast, or lunch. It's almost noon." He said.
I groaned again. "I woke up before noon too?" I turned around in his arms and shut my eyes. "Wake me up at 12:01. I need to feel accomplished."
Troy laughed at me and sat on me. "You need to wake up now." He said, tickling my flat stomach.
I squirmed, smacking him. "Stop." I whined with a small smile on my face.
"For a kiss I'll stop." He bargained.
I kissed his cheek and tried to push him off me. "Get off me, Troy. You're squishing my bladder. I'm gonna pee on your bed."
He got up off me immediately and I smacked him in the head with my pillow. I made my way to the bathroom and made a face at myself in the mirror, noticing how I looked. I was a hung-over hot mess. I walked out after I was done and I laid back in bed. Troy wasn't in the room, so I curled up where I was before.
"Lazy." Troy said, walking into the room.
"It's my birthday I can be lazy if I want to." I said, turning to face him. "Will you be lazy with me?"
He smiled at me, crawling into bed. "Of course. How's your hangover?"
"Better after I washed my face." I wrapped my arms around his waist. "Are you happy to be home, even if its just for the weekend?"
Troy nodded. "It's nice to sleep in a bed that's not moving." I climbed on top of him and straddled his lap. I put my hair in a bun before laying back down. "It was also nice to be in your presence."
I rolled my eyes at him. "Well, I didn't miss you guys at all." I joked. I placed open mouthed kisses against his chest, slowly.
"I'm sure you didn't." Troy replied dryly. I smiled at him and met his lips with a soft kiss. "I missed you, a lot."
"I missed you too." I murmured, playing with his hair. He kissed my lips gently, running his hands up and down the back of my thighs slowly. "I love you." I breathed out after pulling away.
Troy's hands stopped moving and he smiled at me. "I love you too." He kissed my forehead and put his hands on my waist. "We are getting married, one day."
I raised my eyebrows at him, smirking. "Do I have a say in this?"
He shook his head, rubbing his nose against my neck. "Nope." His lips grazed my neck slowly, suckling here and there. I closed my eyes, enjoying the feeling. He nibbled on my ear before pulling away slowly. "You bruise like a peach." He remarked.
"How many hickeys did you give me?" I asked, afraid to know the answer.
"None, it's just a little pink. But I'll give you a hickey if you want one." He muttered. Before I could protest his lips latched onto my neck firmly.
I opened my mouth to yell at him but all that came out was a strangled moan. My fingers gripped the back of his hair, forgetting to pull his head away from me. He pulled his lips away from me and looked at my neck. "Now I have one?" I asked, my eyes still closed.
"Yes." He said chuckling. I found his lips with mine and pulled him against me. His hands trailed down my back, cupping my butt. I ground my hips against his waist and his tongue dipped in my mouth. A knock echoed through the apartment. Troy pulled his lips away from mine. "I'll get it." He kissed my lips before pulling on a pair of shorts. He partially closed the bedroom door as he walked out.
I heard the door open. "Hey." I heard. It was a woman's voice.
"Madison? What are you doing here?" Troy said.
I sat up in the bed, sneaking over to the door to peak. "You know I thought a lot about what you said. It's okay if we don't get married now. I know your music is important to you and I wanna be there to support you." She said, rubbing his bare arm.
"Madi-" Troy started but She cut him off.
"I can wait. I mean I've waited twenty four years, I can wait a couple more." She shrugged with a small smile on her face.
"Madison, I didn't break up with you just because we wanted different things. I broke up with you because even though you are a great girl, I'm not in love with you. I like you, as a person. I liked you as a girlfriend but we aren't going anywhere because my heart is not in it. I'm sorry you flew all this way." Troy scratched the back of his head while he spoke. He turned his head to glance back at the bedroom door.
I hid behind it, quietly sucking in a breath. I heard sniffling. "Troy, I just don't understand. Everything was perfect and I don't know where it fell apart." She said.
"Please don't cry." Troy said, with a frown I could hear. "It's not your fault. You did nothing wrong, I promise. I just thought I was happy but I wasn't and I stopped lying to myself. I never wanted to hurt you."
She started laughing. "I'm so pathetic. I'm so sorry for ruining your day." She gasped. "This bag is so cute! Is it Molly's?"
I peaked out the door again. Madison was holding my clutch. "No, It's Gabi's. She crashed here last night because our friend Chad is staying at her place."
"Is she here?" Madison asked, looking over towards the door. I hid again.
"Yeah, she's sleeping. She had a lot to drink last night." Troy said. I peaked out again.
Madison nodded. "Well, I'm going to go. I have to meet Molly. Tell Gabi that I said Happy Birthday." She looked at him and gave him a soft smile. "I'm happy for you guys."
"What?" Troy said, stiffening up.
"Bye." She said kissing his cheek before walking out. Troy stared at the closed door for a minute before starting to turn around. I ran back to the bed and hopped in. I pulled the covers up and watched him walk in.
"Who was that?" I asked.
Troy chuckled at me. "I know you were spying on me." He crawled on the bed. "She probably saw you."
"I have no idea what your talking about." I said with a small smile. "I guess I should get dressed."
"You know where your stuff is." He kissed my lips before I got up. I walked over to the drawer I usually left my stuff in. I got changed into some jeans and shirt. I walked into the bathroom and I found a little bag of make up in the drawer. I spread some on my neck, covering up the hickey he left me the best that I could. I sighed and put light make up on. As I tried to fix my hair, Troy wrapped his arms around my waist. "Beautiful." He murmured, kissing the back of my neck.
"I could barely cover up the massive hickey you gave me." I said, tilting my head to show him.
He laughed. "Think of it as a mark of my love."
I rolled my eyes and smiled. I picked up a tube of lip gloss and put some on my lips. I popped my lips and started cleaning up his sink. "I'm hungry now."
"We can get some lunch somewhere." He said, watching me in the mirror.
I rubbed my lips together. "Can we go to that Chinese place that we always get take out from?" I pulled up my jeans a little bit and put my bag away. I turned and faced him. "Does that sound okay?"
He nodded. "Sounds good." He leaned down and kissed my lips quickly. He licked his lips. I smeared the gloss on his lips.
"Look how beautiful you are." I said, giggling at him.
Troy wiped his lips and smiled. "It looks much better on you."
He let go of me as we migrated out of the bathroom. I walked over to my heels and slipped them on again. I picked up my clutch and looked through it and found my phone. "I have 13 missed calls." I said, flipping through them. "24 text messages. 300 tweets. 1500 Facebook notifications."
He looked at me in disbelief. I handed him my phone. "Holy shit." He said. "Maybe you should turn it back off and get back to reality tomorrow."
I smirked at him. "You'd like that, wouldn't you?" I pulled him over to me. "Come on, let's take a picture." I held my phone out and made a kissy face. Troy kissed my cheek and I took the picture. "How cute." I said, looking at it before posting it on twitter and Facebook. "Spending my birthday with my best friend." I read out lout as I typed. I thanked them for all the birthday wishes.
"Are we going to go?" He asked.
"I have to call Chad." I said. Troy sat on the couch and I made a quick phone call to Chad. I invited him out to lunch with us. I sat on his lap and kissed his lips gently. "We're ready, we're going to meet Chad there." I said, kissing him again.
I got off his lap and we grabbed his keys and his wallet. We headed out the door and he held my hand in the elevator. "We need to buy a car. I'm going to get tired of walking around all the time." Troy said, playing with my fingers.
I laughed at him. "Isn't that the reason we didn't buy a car? We were on tour with Brad and we were tired of being in moving vehicles." I said, kissing the back of his hand.
"It would be nice to have. We can get one before I leave, so you have something to drive around." Troy said, squeezing my hands.
I raised my eyebrows at him. "I thought you didn't want to get domesticated?" I asked as we walked out of the elevator. He was quiet.
Once we stepped on the side walk he decided to answer. "I don't think of it as domestication. I think of it as making sure you have transportation to get where you need to go when you're here. If your going back on tour soon then there would be no use to buy one until we get back."
I swung our arms back and forth as we walked a couple blocks to our favorite Chinese place. "How many stops do we have?" I asked, looking up at him.
"About 13" He said. "I was counting down." He admitted sheepishly. He kissed my forehead gently.
I pinched his cheek gently. "You're so cute." Troy winked at me as he opened the door for me. "Thank you handsome."
"Anytime beautiful." He smiled as we found Chad at a table. "What's up man? Your hair is still throwing me off."
Chad looked up at us. He chuckled. "How are you guys feeling? You were pretty fucked up when I left last night."
I shrugged. "I'm okay. He woke me up before noon. My head was killing me but I feel a bit better." I said down next to Troy.
Chad smiled over at us. "So did you accomplish your agenda?"
I looked at him confused then laughed when I recalled what he was talking about. "Yes, I definitely did." I said.
Troy looked over at me. "What was on your agenda?" He asked me, curious.
"Get drunk." I said.
"And make out with you." Chad added.
I glared at Chad. Troy laughed. "Ray caught us in the kitchen." He said, to Chad.
I picked up the menu, looking through it. "I'm hungry. What are you guys going to get?" I asked, successfully changing the subject.
