"I love this country." Sasha said as she poured ketchup on her hash browns.
"Mmm. The views fucking gorgeous out here. Plus I can actully smell the fresh air." I mumbled, mouth full of taco.
"Tommy, can you please use your manners, we are in a public place." Adam said wanting to uphold his polite reputation.
I filled my mouth with a new bite of taco before answering.
"Yes mum."
I swallowed quickly, knowing what was coming next and sure enough he jabbed me in the ribs making me jolt backwards. I retaliated by by slapping his upper thigh which was clad in ripped black skinny jeans. As I was pulling my hand back he gave cocky smile before looping his arm around my neck, pulling me close and giving me a noogie. He pushed me back and kissed my cheek before going back to his breakfast, not caring about paparazzi seeing the kiss because there just isn't paparazzi in NZ, just fans with camera phones.
I blushed and grinned like a five year old girl on christmas day. Adam, also grinning like a cheshire cat, dumped his breakfast on my plate claiming to be full then went to the bathroom.
"You love him." Cam stated matter of factly as soon as Adam was out of earshot.
"Cam you're nuts. I'm staight and last time I checked Adam has a dick."
"So you admit you've checked." Taylor sassed.
"No but he has grinded against me pleanty on stage in that second skin he calls pants."
"You need to tell him. He deserves to know. Hiding the attraction isn't helping him and it's not helping you. You need to be honest with yourself. You deserve this chance at happiness. Snap it up while he's single rather than letting your jelousy ruin a future relationship."
I just sat there in silence, unsure of what to Monte said really affected me. The fans were always saying that we were dating or that we liked each other, but I never really thought about the possibility that he didn't know I liked him and I never considered the possibility of him getting a boyfriend while I was pussyfooting round. Hell he could get a cute kiwi boy.
"I'll tell him as soon as he gets back."
"Good boy." Sasha cooed.
I took a bite of Adam's egg and thought about what I could say to him. What if he rejects me? What if he met someone in the bathroom? That could happen right. Arg, don't be stupid Tommy Joe. You don't meet boyfriends in the bathroom. Fuck, now he's got me talking to myself in third person.
"Your boy's back boo." Terrance said.
I looked up to see Adam walking over to us. Tall and proud like usuall.
"Hey babyboy."
"Hey glitterbay. Hey guys, I'm going to the park, making the most of this good weather. Here's the adress if you guys need me."
He threw the peice of paper onto the table infront of Monte and walked out the door.
"I'll tell him tonight."
"No, Tommy, you take this peice of paper give it to a cab driver and go tell Adam tht you love him." Monte said shoveing the peice of paper into my hands.
I looked down at the adress and my breath caught.
"I'll call a cab company." Lane said.
"They don't just drive around in this country.
"It's ok. I know where this is. It's in walking distance. I've been to this park before."
"Oooh spill vayvee. When were you in New Zealand?" Sutan asked.
"It was twenty years ago today actually. Can I go now."
"If it was twenty years ago how the hell do you remember it." Isaac asked.
"I had my first kiss at that park."
I took one last bite of taco ingnoring the band'd inquiries. I turned around and dashed out of the diner or what ever you call them in New Zealand, cafe or bistro or something.
I walked quickly down the road to where I remember the park to be. After getting lost, asking for directions and signing a few autographs I finally made it to the park in a record time of twenty minutes.
I stepped onto the playground and saw Adam sitting on the same swing I had sat on twenty years ago today. Maybe this wasn't a good idea. This place holds to much emotion for me. It's not appropriate for me to tell Adam I love him here.
I turned around to leave hoping tht he didn't see me.
"I met my first crush on this swing. Hell, he turned out to be my first kiss too." Adam said quietly.
I turned back around expecting to see Adam looking of into space dreamily but instead I saw a chubby freckly red head staring at his feet. My heart started pounding and I had to take a deep breath to calm myself down.
"Would youu like me to push you?" I asked hoping he would remember the scene. He looked up at me and I could tell he also say the eight year old boy.
"Tommy?"
"Hey Adam."
I walked behind him and began to push his upper back.
"So why doesn't Leila make chicken kebabs for the band? I heard she makes the best ever."
He chuckled and shrugged his shoulders.
"My hand's are getting tired." I said still reliving the memory.
"I you quote me one more time Ratliff..." Adam threatened.
"I hungry." I quoted cockily.
"That's it!" He said while lughing as he got of the swing.
I took off ahead as fast as I could, him running after me, quickly catching up and pinningg my shoulders to the grass.
We we were both breathing heavily and our breaths were mingling. He began to lean foward, but this time instead of rolling him of me, I leaned up to meet him. And once again I kissed his freckly lips.
At the park.
Our park.
Kissing him here for the second time, I knew that Adam made me happy and I was never letting him go again.
