The next couple of days I spent shoving my stuff in bags, while making sure my room-mate kept the house clean, at least until I left. I had gotten the tickets for the trip and talked to my mom about what time we were all going to meet for dinner that night. My mother and sister would be out enjoying the beach, so Ralph and I would be able to settle in.
I got up early Tuesday, to be able to take a shower and throw my bags in the truck before going to get Ralph. After my shower, I threw all my toiletries in a bag and went to eat something. What I was greeted to instead, was two of my friends sucking face. "You couldn't wait for me to leave?" I asked, watching them going at it.
Roger had gotten more comfortable with showing affection around me, but he was still on the fence when it came to public. He flipped me off, not breaking their lip contact. Maurice moved on to Roger's lap, I guess, from feeling like Roger was not giving him his full attention. When Roger started grabbing his ass, I decided that was my queue to disappear in the kitchen.
Shifting through the, newly stocked, cabinets, I searched for something I could eat on my way to Ralph's. I ended up putting some cereal in a plastic bag, before running to grab my luggage. On my way out, I was greeted by a shirtless room-mate and my best friend sucking on his neck.
"H-have a g-good trip, J-jack." Maurice moaned between his words.
"Why can't you both go back to being secretive about this!?" I yelled before heading out the door.
Before I was able to shut the door, I heard Maurice yelp. "Roger! Don't bite so hard!" Roger laughed and I slammed the door.
Throwing my things in the back, I got in the driver's side and took off down the street, trying to get as far away from my friends as possible. It did not take me long to reach Ralph's and already my heart was racing. .Soon I would be, practically, alone with Ralph on a tropical island, enjoying the sun and beach. Running around in swim trunks, watching the stars in a clear, cool night sky. And after a walk along the beach, we will kiss and...I had to pull my thoughts from going any further. As much as i hated it, Ralph was still with Andrew, even if he agreed to join me on vacation. Plus my family would be there, so no chance in anything happening there. Letting out a deep sigh and went up to the front door.
"Give me a second!" I could hear Ralph yell on the other end of it after I knocked. I stood outside, tapping my sneaker on the porch, waiting for the blonde to open up. I was soon met with the sight of two striking green eyes. "Sorry about that." Ralph said exiting the house with a duffle bag slung over his shoulder. "Brianna kept asking me if I had everything and telling me to call her when I get there." We started walking to my truck. "Oh, she says 'hi' by the way." He chuckled putting his stuff in the back and taking his place in the passenger seat.
I got in to the diver's seat and buckled up. "Tell her I say 'hi' back when you call her." I joked, receiving me a light punch on the shoulder. "Hey! Haven't you ever been told not to mess with the driver?" I asked pulling out of the parking space.
Ralph rolled his eyes, but had a smile on his face. "Mind if I turn on the radio?" He asked pointing at it.
"No, go ahead." I answered concentrating on the road.
Ralph flipped through the stations, looking for a song. He stopped on the song Use Somebody, by Kings of Leon and seemed to get lost in his thoughts. "I feel like I know this song." Ralph said just above a whisper. My heart jumped at this. That was the song that broke me the day that my dad died, and Ralph was there to comfort me. I spent all night crying in his arms and it all just felt right. My eyes began to sting as I tried to hold back tears. "Jack?" Ralph asked softly. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah." I pushed back all negative thoughts. "That song just hits my weak spot sometimes." I glanced over to see a worried look on Ralph's beautiful features. "It's fine." I tried reassuring him.
Ralph gave me a small smile, then changed the station. "I'm sure there's something better playing." He said flipping through the stations again. "Do you have any CDs?" Ralph started looking on the floor board for any signs of what he was looking for.
"Nope. The few I have are in the living room." I said before shivering from what I saw this morning. "Not sure if I'll want them now."
Ralph raised an eyebrow at that. "Why not? Don't tell me you have that bad of taste in music." He joked, giving me a smirk. "Unless it's all classical." Ralph laughed running his fingers through is fair locks.
I shook my head slightly. "It's nothing like that." I found myself laughing with him. "It's more of what I saw as I was leaving this morning." I said cringing a bit.
"Oh come on. Nothing could be that bad so early in the morning..." A thoughtful look came across his face. "Well, maybe how my aunt looks in the morning, but to be fair nobody looks good in the morning." Ralph smiled as he pulled out his phone. All I could think about was all the nights I had woken up to his green eyes, bright and full of life even when he was tired.
"Not everyone." I simply stated as we pulled in to the airport parking. "We're here." I said pulling in to a parking space before Ralph could question my answer. shutting off the car, I got out and grabbed my bags. Ralph followed my lead and I locked the doors. Digging though my pocket, I pulled out Ralph's ticket and handed it to him. "Here you go. Don't lose it." I joked, giving him a smirk.
He gave me a look of shock, then elbowed me. "Watch it." He scolded, the smile making it lose effect. "I have a duffle bag and I know how to use it." Ralph pulled on the strap. "Don't make me use it."
I gave him a light push. "I can't make you do anything you don't already want to do. So don't blame your weak will on me." I said readjusting the bag strap on my shoulder.
Ralph stuck his tongue out at me childishly. I felt a blush creep on to my face. "Lets just find our plane, Mr. high and mighty." He joked looking at his ticket.
"Get ready to have your privacy invaded." I said quickly finding the bag check line. "At this point I'm use to it." I commented remembering every year I visit my family.
"I don't mind. I've got nothing to hide." Ralph turned his nose up in a pompous way, but started laughing.
"So you like having people's hands on you?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
Ralph's face flushed. "N-no!" He tried defending. "That's not what I meant."
I laughed and patted him on the back. "Don't worry. I'm sure you're not the only one." I joked handing my bag over. So far so good. I thought as we made our way to the boarding ramp.
