The sacrament is y--
'Hello?' I asked grabbing my phone, half asleep.
'Hey. It's Bam.' The sound of his voice woke me up a bit more and made me smile. 'Did I go to your hotel room last night?'
'Yeah.' I said with a slight laugh.
'I am so fucking sorry.' He mumbled. 'I'm definatly paying for it today. I'm never drinking again.'
I laughed and rolled over. Nora wasn't in her bed. It was unmade.
'That's weird...' I mumbled.
'What?' Bam asked.
'Nora's not here.' I said getting up and looking around for a note of some kind but coming up empty handed.
'What are you doing?' Bam asked.
'Seeing if Nora left a note, but I don't think so...'
'What are you doing today?' He asked. I stopped thinking he was trying to ask me on a date.
'Aparently, sitting here by myself and looking for Nora.' I said sighing.
'You want to come to New York with me?'
My stomach fluttered. New York City with Bam Margera?
'For what?' I asked smirking.
'Uh, I have to go approve a few decks for Element.' He said. 'And I really don't want to go. Besides, I'll probably stay out of trouble if you come with me.'
'Sure. Let me get dressed.' I said going to my bag and looking for something to wear.
'Alright. I'll be there in a bit.' He said.
'Kay bye.'
'Late.' He said hanging up.
I hurridly got dressed, brushed my teeth and hair, and put on make up.
He texted me letting me know he was out front, so I grabbed a hoodie and opened the front door coming face to face with a kissing Seth and Nora.
SETH'S POV
The door to Nora's room flung open and I broke away from the kiss to see who had interupted us. A wide eyed Addison stood there.
'Found you.' She said pointing at Nora. 'Where were you guys?'
'We went out for breakfast.' I explained.
'I see your both having a bit of desert now.' Addison said with a small smile. 'Don't let me interupt.' She brushed by us and made her way towards the elevator.
'Where are you going?' Nora called.
'New York with Bam!' She called back.
'New York?' Nora asked looking at me as Addison disapeared in the elevator.
'Told you we didn't have to hurry back.' I said.
'I just felt bad leaving her in the hotel room all day.' Nora said sighing.
'Well, she's not in a hotel room all day any more.' I said. 'So it looks like your day just cleared up.' I smirked making her smile.
BAM'S POV
I sat in the purple Lambo trying to think of something else to do in New York besides my job. Maybe I could take her to dinner?
She stepped out of the hotel and saw me parked there and made her way over. She opened the door and hoped in.
'Hi.' She said smiling and putting on her seat belt.
'Hi.' I said pulling out of the hotel parking lot.
'I found Nora.' She told me.
'Where was she?' I asked with a laugh having a feeling I knew exactly where she had been.
'With Seth at breakfast.' She said. 'I opened the door and they were kissing.'
I laughed making her laugh with me. I heard the beginning of Hidden Flame on my radio and I turned it up a bit. When Addison began to sing along with the song, it made me smile.
'What?' She asked looking at me.
'You like Viking Skull too?' I asked.
'Yes. And I like this song inpaticular.' She said with a smile.
We both sang along with the words and rocked out the whole two hours to New York. I happy to see she liked a lot of the same music I did and already knew a lot of the songs I played.
When we got to New York, I pulled up to the building I was supposed to meet Kingman valet helped Addison out of the car as I tossed him the keys and walked into the office building with her.
'Bam!' Kingman said as we walked in the lobby.
'Hey.' I said giving him a slight man hug. 'This is my new friend Addison. Addison, this is my team manager, Ryan Kingman.'
'Hi, nice to meet you.' She said shaking his hand.
'Nice to meet you too.' He said. 'This way.' He gestured to a conference room where his secretary was seated as well as a few other Element big wigs.
'I like this one...' He whispered in my ear as Addison took a seat at the long table and I sat next to her. I smiled at Kingman silently telling him that I liked her a lot too.
After an hour and a half of choosing boards, Addison and I could finally leave. I was glad Kingman let her help me decide. She had a good eye when it came to skateboard designs and I thought it was nice to have a females input.
'That was fun.' She said flashing me a smile as we walked out of the building.
'I'm glad you had fun.' I said. 'Are you hungry?'
'Yes!' She said.
'Good. Let's go get something to eat.'
We got the Lambo from the valet and I drove us to Mr. Chow's. I again gave the keys to the valet and we stepped inside the restaurant. We ordered our food and sat talking and getting to know each other a bit better.
A few fans had come up and asked for my autograph, which I gladly gave. Addison just smiled the whole time. Seemed to me she was Acing the first part and second part of the fame test.
The sacrament of love
The sacrament of warmth
'Hello?' She asked grabbing her phone. 'Hey. Eating. Yeah. What are you doing? Uh, hang on. Bam?'
I looked up from glancing around the restaurant.
'It's Nora. Do you want to do something with her and Seth later?'
'Like what?' I asked thinking that I didn't care how I spent tonight, as long as it was with Addison.
'Movies?' She asked looking up at me.
'Sure.' I smiled.
She finished up her conversation with Nora saying, 'I'll tell you about it later.' And sticking her tongue out at me.
I stuck mine back and she smiled and hung up.
'What are you telling her about later?' I asked.
'You.' She said.
'Good things or bad things?' I asked.
She shrugged and then burst out laughing at me as our food was delivered. We finished our lunch and headed out to the sidewalk. The paparazzi surrounded us. So Addison was going to be tested with the third part of the fame test a bit earlier than I would have liked.
'Bam how about a nice big smile?'
'Bam how are things with you and Missy?'
'Bam who's this?'
'Bam why are you in New York today?'
'Bam any word on Jackass 3?'
'Any new tattoos, Bam?'
'I'm really sorry.' I whispered in her ear.
'It's fine.' She said.
'Come on, ignore them.' I said placing my hand on the small of her back and leading her towards the valet booth. I answered a few of their questions. Avoiding anything with Addison. Her name didn't need to be in lights after meeting me three days ago.
The valet already had the car ready after seeing us exit the restaruant. I helped her in and then went around to my side. I posed for a few of the photographers and then got in, driving away.
My phone rang and I looked at the screen. Seth's name and picture appeared.
'Yo.'
'Sup? So uh, Nora said something about movies?' He asked.
'Yeah I guess.'
'Where are you now?'
'Just getting on the highway.'
'Alright want to meet in Philly in like two hours?' He asked.
'Alright, later.'
'Bye.'
I looked over at Addison and smiled.
NORA'S POV
'We're going to meet those two in Philly in like two hours.' Seth told me as he came back into his living room.
I turned from the painting I was looking at and smiled.
'Okay.' I said.
'We should leave now.' He said. 'I want to take you somewhere.'
We grabbed our things and hopped in his car. The drive into Philly was about 45 minutes of us talking, laughing, and listening to Cheap Trick.
He pulled into a large building that looked like a museum.
'Where are we?' I asked as he opened my door for me.
'Philadelphia's Museum of Art.' He said wrapping his arm around my neck and pulling me along.
'Really?' I asked getting a little excited.
He walked into the building, where he insisted on paying for my ticket in, and made our way towards the modern art exhibits.
'Look at this one.' He said pointing to an interesting statue. 'Look at the attention to detail. And the use of color here.'
'I know...' I said. I loved the way he talked about all things art. He was so passionate about it.
After strolling through the museum for an hour, we left so we could meet up with Bam and Addison.
'I think we're early.' He said as he parked. 'Let's go get tickets.'
'Hey!' I heard Addison call a few minutes later making me turn to find her and Bam strolling up hand in hand.
'How was New York?' I asked.
'Good.' She said. 'I have stuff to tell you.'
'I have stuff to tell you too.' I said and we both smiled.
'You girls want popcorn?' Bam asked.
'Why not?' Addison asked.
We got a medium bag and I got a box of raisnettes, and then we made our way into the theatre.
'What'd you get tickets for?' Bam asked.
'The Dark Knight.' Seth answered as we found seats. Bam went in first, followed by Addison, me, and then Seth.
'Good.' Bam said stuffing his face. 'I wanted to see this.'
Addison looked at him and laughed. Seth wrapped his arm around my shoulders and pulled me into him. The lights dimed and I glanced over at Addison now throwing popcorn at Bam and giggling with him.
As the movie started he wrapped his arm around her and the movie started.
I couldn't help but smile thinking this was the perfect ending to our graduation.
