NOT MY FAULT!
Seriously. I have had this chapter written since the last time I updated. I'm not even lying.
Why?: (You may skip if you don't care)
So, my mom and I moved. Comcast was supposed to come that Monday. They did, but the techie was a complete moron and couldn't hook up my friggen internet. So we had to wait till the week after. And then they didn't even show up. But before we could make another date, my mom says we're moving again so she's not going to bother. Ughhh.
Now I'm at my dad's house and miraculously my laptop works here, so therefore I'm posting this chapter.
Effed up right? I swear as soon as this is posted I'm going on fmylife (dot) com and writing this in. Let's see if some of you can go for practically a month without internet. I'm lucky I have friends. Haha.
Anyway,
I'm really sorry…actually I'm kind of not. But I sure hope Comcast is sorry. I hate them. I'm so close to switching to Fios. If you want to call them and leave then angry messages then be my guest.
I just hope you enjoy this chapter. It's long and fun.

Chapter 17: Uneasy
Bella – POV
After getting off the phone with Edward, Alice was dragging me into her car and we were hauling off to the pizza place that Alice and I went to a while back. I remember it from its elaborate painting of an Italian city on the wall. It was also the home of Alice's first date with Jasper that was a little disastrous, but it turned out for the better. Then that got me thinking about Edward, and how everything was a disaster when we first got together. And just like Alice and Jasper, everything turned out for the better. I just wish I could have seen him tonight, but he needs to practice with his band. I really can't wait for tomorrow night.
We pulled into a parking lot close to the pizzeria. For such a tiny thing, Alice walks extremely fast. I found myself nearly jogging to keep up with her in her designer heels. We walked inside, and it smelled wonderful, my mouth was practically watering. I love Italian food. We walked in the back and there was Rose, sitting by herself in one of the booths. I never really got to know her that well. The only time I really met her was at Alice and Jasper's party. She seemed nice though. I wasn't worried at all.
"Rose!" Alice squealed then pulled her friend into a hug.
"Hey, it's about friggen time. What took you so long?" She said with a slight edge.
"Oh, don't get so bitchy. We came as fast as we could." Alice argued. Well, you can say that again, I have blisters on my poor feet to prove it.
Then Rose turned to me, the scowl on her face turning into a smile. "Hey Bella," She pulled me into a hug. "Did you have fun today?" She gestured towards Alice.
A weary smile came upon my face. "Oh, tons." I said with a hint of sarcasm. Alice playfully glared at me.
"So," Rose began. "Let's sit down, I'm starving. I didn't want to eat anything with you guys not here and look like a fat ass."
"Oh puh-lease Rose." Alice droned. "I think any guy seeing you eat a calzone would be so turned on." Rose snorted and I held back a laugh.
"Excuse me, little girl, but there is only one guy for me, and we have some things to talk about for his party." She said as she dug through her purse and pulled out a pink and red notepad.
"I thought we were eating first!" Alice complained.
"I know! I just wanted to give this to you before I forget." She handed Alice the notepad before beginning to get up. "Let's go place our order."
Alice and I followed her to the front counter where a short Italian man was waiting for us to order. I went to the fridge and got out an orange soda. Alice and Rose followed as Rose got a green tea and Alice got club soda. We each ordered then while we waited for our pizza Alice and Rose began talking away about the party.
Our food was done, so we quickly paid for it, and then snatched it back to our table. The pizza was so good. "Mmm." I mused.
"I know! They have the best food here." Rose agreed.
"Okay, okay, while we eat I have some questions about the size of the confetti you want…" Once Alice began talking about the party I stopped paying attention. Little things like that have a difficult time keeping my attention for more than a minute or two. I munched on my delicious pizza while they were talking intently about the notes written in Rose's notepad. Then my mind took over.
I instantly thought about tomorrow night. I've heard his band play before when Edward took me for our date on the boat. But I think the music they played there will be a lot different than the music they are going to play at the club. And plus, I've never heard Edward with them. I wonder if he is going to sing anything. I never bothered to ask who the lead singer was. I suppose I'll find out in time.
"Somebody call 911! Shorty fire burning on the dance floor. Woah. I gotta cool her down-"
My thoughts were bombarded by Rose's loud ringtone. She picked up her sleek bright red phone and flipped it open.
"Hey Baby" She greeted into the cell as she got up and located a less noisy area of the restaurant so she could talk.
Alice turned to me. "Oh, I can't wait for the party! He is going to be so surprised!"
I nodded in agreement. I'm just a little bit astounded that Alice hasn't blabbed yet. But then again, this party is the world to her right now, so I really can't say I'm surprised that her lips have remained sealed this entire time.
Rose then came back. Her facial expression was a mix between annoyed and excited. Is that even possible?
"Bella!" She pointed her freshly French manicured finger at me. "Why didn't you tell me Edward's band had a gig tomorrow night!?"
I shrugged. "Well, Alice and I were planning on telling you. We just haven't gotten around to it yet."
"Why? What did Emmett say?" Alice asked, completely intrigued.
"He said he won't be home till late, he's covering for Bella's boyfriend." She glared at me jokingly. "And he also invited me to the little concert tomorrow night. So, I take it both of you are going?"
"Absolutely!" Alice chirped. "And duh, Bella's going obviously." She laughed.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world." I said.
"Aww, that's so sweet, Bells." Alice said before taking a big bite from her pizza. "Oh! Before we leave for the club tomorrow night, you must come over and I'm going to fix you up so you look totally sexy for your rocker latte boy."
"Alice…" I whined.
"Don't worry; I'll make you look amazing!"
The devilish grin she was making had me a little uneasy.
-&-
I was dropped off at home at about nine-thirty. Alice told me to get a good nights rest for the eventful day tomorrow. How the heck was I supposed to do that? All this excitement that Alice and Rose seemed to build up in me wasn't going away and it was practically driving me insane. I climbed off my futon and sat up for a second, rubbing my eyes in the meantime. Stewie, my little fatty of a cat, whom I have felt I have been neglecting lately, has curled himself into a comfy little ball on my desk. I smiled. If I can't sleep, I might as well do something productive.
I sat down at my keyboard and let my mind wander. My life is becoming less of a jumbled mess and easier to live. My fingers rested upon the keys as I thought it out. A new melody shouldn't be slow, but it shouldn't be too fast either. It should be kind of soothing, something you can relax but with a hint of exhilaration.
And I had it.
It was perfect. I wrote down what I had come up with. The other things I wrote previously to this were now dust in the wind. I would finish this one. And it would be amazing. The same as how I feel right now.
I looked at the clock. It was a few minutes before midnight. I would have to work on it later. If I look even the slightest bit tired, Alice will have my ass. And I really don't want to feel her wrath. I turned out my lamp, picked up my cat, and crawled back into bed.
I still couldn't sleep, however. I kept humming my new song in my head, thinking of lyrics as I kept my eyes shut trying to fall asleep. The lyrics were something I'd have trouble with. The first theme that popped into my head was Edward. He'd be a perfect candidate. But I wouldn't want to make anything too obvious. But what else was there to write about?
Then it got me thinking of what kind of songs Edward is going to play tomorrow night. Well, technically tonight. The clock read sometime after midnight. Anyway, back to his songs. I bet their going to be very original. I can picture it…well, not really. I really don't know what to expect.
The excitement started to rush through my veins and now I was never going to get to sleep. I turned over onto my side and shut my eyes tightly. I was on the verge of counting sleep. I cleared my mind and relaxed as I slowly entered dreamland.
-&-
The next morning I woke up to some freaky déjà vu. My phone was ringing uncontrollably, and it immediately brought back memories of when I first met Alice…and Edward. I smiled at the thought. I fell off my futon in the process of reaching the phone.
"Hello?" I said in a groggily voice.
"Bella! Were you sleeping?" Alice's high voice asked.
"Uhh…no." I yawned.
"You know, you are the worst liar ever." She pointed out.
"Yeah." I said honestly.
"Anyway, get dressed because we are meeting Rose in a half hour at Starbucks. We're going to have a little breakfast before you come over and get ready."
"Alice, I am perfectly capable of dressing myself." I told her.
"Like I said before Bella, you are a horrible liar."
Now, I was insulted.
I huffed into the phone, not saying anything.
"Come on, stopping being a negative Nancy. Tonight is going to be so much fun and I want us to get dressed up to look fabulous. Please? Please? Please?"
"Fine, Alice." I caved. I might as well oblige before she pulls out the 'I am your employer, I command you to come over now' card.
Alice told me to hurry up before hanging up. I ran into my closet and quickly pulled together an outfit consisting of sneakers, jeans, and an old batman t-shirt. Maybe Alice was right…
I zipped up a dark purple hoodie as I ran into the bathroom trying to make myself okay for public. Afterwards, I looked in the mirror. I guess that's as good as its going to get. I sighed as I left the bathroom.
"Bye Stewie." I said to the orange feline lying lazily on my bed. And then I was out of there.
The streets were crowded as usual, yet I was glad I didn't stumble over anyone, or almost get hit by a car again. Heh.
The familiar Starbucks came into view. My favorite coffee shop. A little part of me was eager to get there, but then I remembered that my latte boy wouldn't even be there. He's probably practicing, or maybe even sleeping. I don't know, but I do know that I shouldn't be late if I do not want to be yelled at. I rushed across the street.
I entered the coffee shop and Alice and Rose were already there, sitting at one of the café tables. I directly walked to them and sat down.
"Good timing, we just got here." Alice smiled and I yawned. "Jeez Bella, didn't I tell you to get a good nights rest?"
"Couldn't sleep." I mumbled.
"Alice, leave her alone. She's obviously excited about tonight." Rose said.
"Whatever, Rose." Alice stuck out her tongue. I laughed.
"Coffee and muffins?" Rose asked us both.
Alice and I both nodded and we got up to place our order. We each got our favorite muffin with a latte, mine was chocolate chip. We got our breakfast and sat down at the table we previously occupied.
"I'd hate to point out that I'm right, but Bella, you really can't dress yourself." Alice smirked.
"Excuse me, I was rushing, and I'm tired, and I actually like this shirt." I defended.
"Why?" Rose asked, skeptically.
"I like Batman." I took a bite of my muffin.
"Are you kidding me? Batman is so stupid. He has no powers." Alice said. "Now Spiderman, he's a real hunky hero."
"Spiderman is gay…and he's fat." Rose said.
"He is not fat!" Alice said angrily. I held back a chuckle. "Or gay."
"Oh puh-lease." Rose said. "The best hero of all time is the hulk."
"You only say that cause' your boyfriend looks like him." Alice muttered.
"You're such a bitch!" Rose said with a loud laugh. Then we all started laughing.
"Bella," Alice said once the laughter died. "Who is your favorite hero of all time? Batman?"
"Uh, no." I said hesitantly.
"Who is?" Rose asked.
"Tell!" Alice commanded.
"No, it's embarrassing." I said.
"Is it Edward?" Rose asked with a grin.
"No…but that's a good candidate." I said dreamily.
"Who is it?" Alice gave me a look that basically said 'spill the beans or I'll beat you up'.
"Okay…" I paused. "It's Harry Potter."
There was a silence, right before all three of us started cracking up. I almost had tears in my eyes.
"Harry flipping Potter?" Rose asked.
"I'm not even going to ask why." Alice said.
"Thanks, Al." I said.
We continued talking about all these random things, and then the two of them started talking about the party. I looked around the little coffee shop. It was one of my favorite places in the entire city. But it felt weird being here when Edward wasn't. It didn't seem as awesome as I have built this place up to be. I guess he's the one who makes me love it so much. I unknowingly smiled.
"What has you smiling, Bella?" Rose asked.
"Nothing, just thinking." I answered.
"Sure" Alice said. "About Edward."
I blushed and the girls giggled. Was I really that easy to read?
They talked more and more about the party, and then they started chatting about the concert again. That is when I came into the conversation. But with the mentioning of the concert, Alice had to be Alice.
"I better get going. Bella and I have to get ready." Alice said.
"Alice, we're not going till tonight, why do we have to start now?" I asked.
"Silly Bella, we have to go to the store, buy you and I an outfit, then we get our nails done, then we go back to my house and do hair, make-up, the works. It takes time."
"Wait? Buy an outfit?" I asked.
"Duh, I'm not wearing something I've worn before." Alice said like it was so obvious.
"Do we have to get our nails done? Why can't you do it? I hate the way it smells in there and I know those ladies talk bad about me in Korean, they just do." I complained.
"Stop whining, you sound like a baby." Alice said. "Now, let's go."
We said our goodbyes to Rose, and now we were off on this lovely day that would be filled with torture. A sort of uneasy feeling washed over me when I realized that I was Play-Doh is Alice's hands. Great.

Edward – POV
Everything was very stressful. The nervousness is starting to wash over me when Sam ended practice and told us to head home and get ready then we would all meet each other at the club. I headed home with Seth and we parted ways when I reached my door. I threw my keys on the end table and walked into my room. Hating sounding like a girl, I realized that I had nothing to wear.
I didn't want to call anyone saying I had a fashion crisis. Firstly, I am not a fourteen year old girl picking out an outfit for her first date. And secondly, I am a grown man I can dress myself. Come on, how hard is it to pick a shirt and pants that don't make me look like an idiot?
Very.
Even though I looked very basic, and paler than usual, I settled for some jeans and a plain black t-shirt. Simple, but it works. I don't want to be overdressed or something. Fashion is just so confusing. Looking over myself in the mirror, my hair messy and my eyes a little tired, I splashed some water on my face and tried to smooth my hair a little bit. No luck. Messy it will stay.
I grabbed my keys and waited a minute for Seth to come running out dressed similar to myself. I mentally sighed a sigh of relief. We headed out of the building then made our way down to the club.
We arrived there shortly. The inside was completely vacant and it looked rather big. I just hoped I'd be able to spot Bella in the audience. I especially have to see her when I perform my surprise dedication for her. It was a song that always stuck out to me, and I'm glad that we got to pull it together last night and make it work.
"Good, you guys are here!" Sam called to us. "We're going to start setting up in a couple of minutes."
Seth and I nodded as he went off to talk to the manager. I said my hellos to Paul and Jared before I walked up to the stage. I sat down on it, and let my legs dangle over the edge. It just felt so real. This was going to be extremely different than just fooling around in our facetious practices. We weren't planning on sharing our stuff with other people, let alone a popular club.
I was so keyed up for tonight. I just hope we don't screw up and end up humiliated in front of a crowd of people. I shook those thoughts out of my head. Thinking like that would only lead to failure.
"Edward, you nervous?" Seth asked me when he came over to sit on the side of the stage next to me.
"I guess so…but I'm trying not to be. It would be much better if we relaxed as we took this on." I told him.
"I here that. I have napkins under my arms just incase." He said.
I laughed. "At least you're prepared."
"How do you think Bella will like her dedication, lover boy?" He teased.
"At least I'm not as love struck as Paul…and I think Bella will enjoy it. At least I hope she does." I said with a hint of worry.
"Don't sweat it, Edward." He joked, motioning to his underarm. I chuckled. "She'll love it."
"I hope so," I replied.
I looked around the club. Jared and Paul were at the bar, with bottles of water in each of their hands. Sam was still conversing with the manager, and I felt so frenzied. But I was optimistic. Tonight would be one of the best nights.
"Guys! Come on, we gotta' set up!" Sam shouted at all of us.
The five of us climbed on stage and decided where everything was going to be placed. Then we all ran out in the back to the van and brought in all the equipment. It was easy, but after Paul dropped a piece of the drum set because he was texting Rachel, he got his phone taken away by Sam, and also it caused the rest of us to snicker at him.
We put everything in the place where we planned it to be. I was setting up my keyboard when I felt a vibration in my pocket. I pulled out my phone. I had a new text message from Bella.
New Text Message:
Good Luck ;)
I smiled at her words. Those simple two words cleared away my nervous feelings and I felt calmer. I felt the need to make sure she has a good time at the show. And I can give that to her.
"Come on Edward, we haven't got all day!" Sam said to me, eyeing my phone as if he would take away mine next if I didn't help out. I slipped my phone back into my jeans pocket, and continued to plug the correct wires into the outlets.
After a while we were comfortable with everything and we sat down on the side of the stage and drank bottled water. Sam made a rule of no alcohol until after the show. It was wise, but a tad bit bothersome. I was starting to feel anxious. After the few minutes of our short break, we got up and started making sure everything was ready and in tune. We practiced one of our songs and made sure it sounded right and all set.
"Club opens in fifteen minutes." Sam told us. "You guys ready?"
"Ready as I'll ever be." Jared said with a weary edge to his voice.
"All set!" Seth said with a thumbs up.
"Yep." I said with more confidence than I thought I could muster up.
Paul merely nodded. I'm sure all he wanted was his phone back so he can text his Rachie-Boo. Sam looked pleased at all of us. We were going to blow this out of the water.
-&-
Eight o'clock finally came around and the five of us were sitting back stage. Well, it was only four. Jared went out there to see how many people showed up. We were all sitting there waiting for his reports on the crowed.
"It sounds kind of loud out there." Seth said.
I nodded in agreement. The club was currently playing an upbeat Lady Gaga song. I could hear a lot of people singing along to the popular lyrics. The crowd didn't make me all that nervous. The thing I'm afraid of is not being able to spot Bella in the mass of people.
The song changed to one of my favorites by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Jared came back. His expression was a mixing pot of shock, happiness, and nausea.
"There are so many people. It…It was crazy, man." He said down on a stool next to Seth and started to breathe.
Paul smirked. "Calm down, don't suck and they won't throw half empty beer bottles and martini glasses at you."
"First of all, you should be the one worrying about sucking. You have missed most of the rehearsals. And second, we're supposed to be optimistic. Those bottles and glasses will be half full."
Seth and I started cracking up. Jared's good sense of humor was a helpful thing at this point. Sam even let out a small laugh. That was until he checked the clock on the wall. The smile on his face washed off and he became serious.
"It's almost time." He stated. "I'll be right back."
"Damn, he's really stressing, isn't he?" Seth asked.
"Yeah, and that's why we have to rock tonight." Jared said with a lot of enthusiasm.
The song changed to something I didn't recognize, but the crowd was really loving it. Sam came back and told us to get up and get ready. We all obliged. Very nervously, we all walked toward the stage. Sam told us that after this song playing, we were up.
I looked at my fellow band mates. Seth was staring at the ceiling, I'm almost sure he was mouthing some notes to himself. Jared was looking almost scared, breathing deeply. Paul was nearly bouncing on his toes. And Sam was standing in front of me, kind of tense looking. We really were a rag tag group of champs. And I knew we would do great.
The song ended and the announcer went on stage.
"How ya'll doin' tonight?!" He screamed into his microphone. The crowd let out a very happy response. "We gotta' treat for you tonight! Tonight we got New York's own Dorian Gray!" The crowd once again applauded without not even knowing who we were. And I could have sworn I heard a high voiced girl screaming 'Go Edward!'. The announcer cleared his throat. "Give them some noise!"
While the audience was applauding, the five of us came out on stage. It was exhilarating. I took my place at the keyboard and my eyes scanned the crowed for a sign of Bella.
"Hey everyone!" Sam said into his microphone. "We are Dorian Gray, and we have some songs for you guys tonight!"
Before the song started, my eyes were still searching and right before the guitar started to play, I saw the brown eyes that I've been dying to see all day. Those simple brown eyes made all my uneasiness go away.
-&-&-&-
Bella – POV
"Hey everyone!" Sam said. "We are Dorian Gray, and we have some songs for you guys tonight!"
I have to admit, they have got themselves a really cool name. You have got to love a band that recognizes great literature. As soon as Edward walked out onto the stage, I cheered and didn't stop. Alice kept screaming 'Go Edward!' next to me and I looked at him in amazement. He looked so amazing and sexy up there behind his keyboard.
Right before the band started their first song Edward met my eyes and we were locked for a moment that if my life were a movie, would last hours. I saw him calm a little as he rested his fingers on the keys. I smiled at him.
The song started and from the first few seconds of it, they were really good. They were all really into it, bobbing heads and all. It was like they were real rock stars. And Jared had a really good voice.
The steps that I retraced
The sad look on your face
The timing and structure
Did you hear? He fucked her
A day late
A buck short
I'm writing the report
On losing, and failing
When I move I'm flailing now
Alice and I danced to the music. It was upbeat and fun. Jasper, Rose and Emmett were behind us, moving to the music. The song ended way too soon and the crowed cheered. I'm sure Emmett cheered the loudest. I was beaming with excitement.
The next song started. It was a tad bit slower than the first, but it built up to something more structured. Alice was now dancing with Jasper and Emmett had is arm around Rose as I stood next to him trying to dance less awkwardly as I normally do.
She's like a devil in a dark shade of lipstick
an unassuming sort of x-rated misfit
her bottle's shook up all you gotta do is twist it
before you get a chance you'll already have missed it
He's got his arm around her looking like an actress
A chain to driven he'd been posing like a Baptist
Subtle proposition, will you fit him in your track list
Maybe you'll just get right down to wearing out the mattress
Sam's voice was much different than Jared's but it was still really good. Emmett let go of Rose and the three of us started to dance. The music was really much better than I expected. The song ended and the next one began.
This was different than the other ones. It wasn't as danceable, but it had to be my favorite because Edward was singing. However, he wasn't singing alone, Jared was also singing the song too. During the chorus Paul and Sam would join in.
You talk about me like you own me
Baby, that's not fair
I told you that I had somebody else
You did not care
And now you're talking on the phone
You're telling all of your friends:
We love each other!
We love each other!
We love each other!
We love each other!
The song ended and the crowd applauded once again. They really won these people over. Including me. I'm going to ask Edward if he has any CD's made, and if so, I definitely want one. And judging by Alice's energetic dance moves, she'd take one too.
The next song came on, and this one was much more cool and collected than the others, but the lyrics really won me over. As soon as the song started I really liked it.
I see the world in a swirl of hues,
but my favorite color is shame.
Tonight the sky is painted...
Tonight the sky is painted melancholy
and the wind sings songs as if it would lament
some tragedy on the far side of the world.
The words came from Jared and spare background vocals were supplied by Edward. Alice came up to me and told me she was thirsty and asked if I wanted anything. I told her to get me something that wasn't too strong. She smirked at me and left the floor toward the bar.
The song was almost over when Alice came back with my drink. After my first sip, I realized that Alice didn't care about what I said before. I rolled my eyes at her and sipped the drink anyway.
The song ended and something was a bit different. They didn't go straight into the next one. I noticed Edward leave his place at the keyboard and move to center stage, with Sam's guitar in his hands.
"This, uh, next song" Edward began. "is for Starbucks favorite customer" He chuckled "my girlfriend, Bella."
He found me in the crowd and winked at me. I could tell I was blushing furiously, because all the heat in my body rushed to my face. In the crowd there were a bunch of 'aw's and a few 'damn, he's taken!'s. Alice hugged me; her smile looked like it was a permanent part of her face.
The music started with a familiar melody, but different because it was modernized with guitars and such. Edward began to sing. His flawless velvety voice making me melt inside.
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
So darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh, stand, Stand by me, stand by me
I was awestruck. If I thought he was the perfect boyfriend before, he totally just broke my perfection scale. I have never felt so happy to have him all to myself. If I wasn't in the middle of a crowded club, I'd probably cry. I was using all my strength not to climb up onto that stage and make out with him in front of everyone. Well, not all my strength. I think the fact that I don't have the guts to do it plays a big part.
The song ended and there was applause all around. Looking at the way he was smiling in my direction made those distant thoughts come back to me. Were my feelings for him growing? I think the answer is a big yes. I'm not still sure if it is love…but I know it's close.
After Edward took his previous place at the keyboard, and they went on with their concert. And by the time the last song came around, I had drunk three of those strong drinks Alice got me.
"This is our last song" I heard Sam say before the guitar started in a funky sort of way. And what really made me happy was the fact that Edward was singing this one.
Flicking through a little book of sex tips
Remember when the boys were all electric?
Now when she tells she's gonna get it
I'm guessing that she'd rather just forget it
Clinging to not getting sentimental
said she wasn't going but she went still
Likes her gentlemen to not be gentle
was it a mecca dobber or a betting pencil?
I have to say that this one is my favorite. After Stand By Me of course. Nothing tonight can top that. Alice, Rose and I were enjoying ourselves moving to the sound of the instruments. When the song ended the club cheered and I saw Edward abandon his place on stage and leap off, and try to get pass all of the people towards me. When he reached me he picked me up and kissed me. If my life ever had a perfect moment, this would be it.
I congratulated him, as the two of us headed towards the bar. He bought us each drinks and then we chatted about how amazing I think his band is. I think right now, I wasn't thinking that well. Between the drinks and the energy I have. I have never felt so good.
After a few more drinks, Edward and I decided to leave. We walked down the street in the direction of his apartment.
"So you really like the song?" He asked. It was like he was on a high. He had his arm around my waist as we walked merrily across the street.
"I loved it!" I said happily before I kissed his cheek. "That one was my favorite."
We walked a little further than we got to his apartment. I loved being here. I loved the songs he sang. I love just being around him. We entered the main room and he shut the door and lifted me off the floor and began kissing me ferociously. I wrapped my legs around his waist as he stumbled backwards and fell against his front door.
He got a better grip on me, and we fell onto the couch. I climbed on top of him and ran kisses up and down his neck before attacking his lips once again. We sat up and he picked me up once more. This time he carried me into his bedroom.
Come on baby we get along. One week of danger is not very long.
Let's get together, and get it on. Let's get those clothes off before I'm gone
Oh la la!
6,000 words and 20 pages on word. Record, baby, record.
