Tori's POV
"HAPPY NEW YEAR!" My knees go weak and I let my weight fall on him. I was right, I'm happy, glad to be here; but if I want to stop thinking about college, I'm going to need more.
"Ugh, get a room!" Jade yells, and I turn for a second to see Cat failing at kissing Austin, and being kissed by Miguel. You go Miguel. Beck draws me back to him, and I run my fingers through his hair, pulling it a little, I'm never going to make fun of his hair products ever again, it's so good to touch...
The DJ turns up the volume, and starts to play a super upbeat pop song making the dance floor as crowded as anyone could imagine. I wrap my arms around his neck and he clenches my waist with his hands as I rock my body with the rhythm, I like dancing. Not just moving my feet and waving my arms up the air, I like to really dance, throw my head back, spin around and pretend I'm in a whole new world kind of dancing. At times, the high of dancing can be even better than weed, all it takes is a really good song to make you let go completely.
The perfect song starts to play, to be more accurate, the perfect rhythm; I arch my back and turn around letting go of him, going up and down and it gets to the point that I'm surprised when the song changes, bringing me right back to reality. Beck is my reality, Beck and I, that's my life, only not for long. Why was I so stupid earlier today? I shouldn't feel embarrassed in front of him he has seen my cuts a million times, I can't waste my time with him feeling like I don't deserve him. We have four months, four months that have to be worth a lifetime, and I'm going to make them count.
I turn back to him, and grab the collar of his shirt, pressing my hip against his "We should get a room" I press my lips against his before he can give me an answer, because I know his first instinct is to worry about me, and say no.
"Believe me, I want to" I place my hand on the back of his neck and look up at him "but your doctor..."
"No, he said I could put too much weight on my arms and..."
"...heavy workout" he raises his eyebrows, trying to prove his point but I know it won't take a lot for him to give in, I mean, he's a boy.
"screw the doctor!" I press myself even closer, maintaining full eye contact "I'm going to take out these stupid stitches in a couple of days anyway, nothing will happen we just have to take it easy"
"fine" he rolls his eyes with a slight smirk on his face, and takes my hand leading us through the crowd, dodging the waiters and the excessive number of drunken people that seem to want to talk to us, or pull us back to the dance floor. "Hum...hey, happy new year"
"Happy new year!" the lady at the counter answers, with a weirdly big smile for someone who's working at new year's "how can I help you?"
"Do you have any available rooms?"
"let me check for you!" I place my around his back and rest my head on his chest patiently, I hope they have a room, because it's been too long since the last time we did this, and I really don't feel like taking a cab all the way back to my place right now; I might as well just steal someone else's keys. "It's we have one room left, what a lucky way to start the year huh?!"
"Yeah...lucky us" I say, as Beck hands her his credit card, proceed to check in as I grab the key to the room and push the elevator button. He meets me just as the door opens, reveling what looks like a passed out fourteen year old with a mustache drawn on his face and a balloon tied on his wrist. "what's the number?"
"Eighty three" I take the card from his hand, and we walk inside the hall side by side, I love how not-awkward this feels. Intimacy, this would be considered an awkward situation, that is until we reach the room, but not for us. Intimacy, that's what it is, and I've never been as comfortable as I am with him with anyone else...how will I have a good relationship near this one four months from now?
The answer is quite easy, I won't.
I unlock the door, and pull him crashing my lips onto his, trailing my mouth down his neck as he pulls me to the middle of the room "what did you say about taking it easy?" I grin at his sarcastic comment, and push his arms back to get rid of his jacket. I unbutton his shirt, and his hands trace down my body before I turn around so he can unzip my dress; I kick off my heels, and wrap my legs around his waist, I need more, that's all I can think of right now, more everything with him. "shit!"
"what? what is it?" he rolls his eyes, and sights...did I do something...
"I didn't bring a condom"
"what?! How could you not bring one?!" I put my legs back down, what went through his mind that made him not bring one fucking condom?
"I don't know, you didn't want to change in front of me and I thought it wasn't going to happen" that, right. I hold my hands on my hips, I don't want to stop, but I won't risk it...
"Fuck... I'll take a stupid morning after pill tomorrow" I push him onto to the bed, but he pulls away slightly.
"you sure? that..."
"stop worrying Beck, just go with it" He captures my lips with his, and I help him kick his jeans off, that morning after pill is definitely going to be worth it.
Beck's POV
Damn it's too bright in here... I hate the sun, it gets in the way of everything that's good, mostly sleeping which is simply my third favorite thing to do. I sit up, and rub my eyes gathering the courage to open them, I really think the Tennessee sun shines brighter because it's so...oh my god.
I check my phone for the time, and then at the completely asleep girl beside me. We didn't drink, she didn't smoke, we slept way earlier than a couple of nights ago and Tori is sleeping. It's half past ten, and she is sleeping.
I slip out of the bed the smoothest way I can, glad to see that she remained the same way. This is really good, the only time I've ever seen her sleep past seven was the day after Andre's party and that doesn't count because she was hungover. I sit down at the single chair near the window, right before jumping off of it to grab my ringing phone before it woke her up. Damn, when she sleeps in nothing will wake her.
I walk in the bathroom and shut the door "hello?"
"Hi Beck, it's Robbie, where are you and Tori?"
"I'm still at the hotel" I peek inside the bedroom, still good.
"why are you whispering?"
"because Tor's asleep, what's up?"
"where did everyone go? I'm at the hotel and I can't-" oh perfect!
"dude I'm still here too, room eighty three, could you bring me breakfast from the buffet?" I'm actually starving right now, and hotel breakfast's are simply the best.
"Yeah sure, I'll be right up"
I hang up and pick up my clothes from the floor, buckling my belt and putting on my jacket, I won't dare to get my smashed shirt under Tori's head. I stand by the door, looking through the magic eye, I don't want him to knock or yell and in a few minutes I spot him with a big plate full of food.
"thanks man" I grab the plate, and Robbie asks for cash to get on a taxi back to the condo, and since I only carry credit cards with me, he's going to have to walk back home. At least he gets to eat here too. I sit back down, and god, the food here is amazing, just like I imagined.
"...Beck..." I get up, and she frowns looking around "why are you up so early?" it's funny, I wake up and it takes minutes, sometimes even more than an hour for me to actually be awake. Tori on the other hand wakes up well, wide awake.
I put down the practically empty plate of food, and she sits up fixing her hair "why are you up so late?"
"what do you mean?" she climbs to the other side of the bed, and grabs the clock from the nightstand "very funny, you changed the time" she gets up, and it's pretty hard for me to focus on anything else beside her right now, stretching in her underwear. It's like she does these things just to tease me.
"It's not a joke" I show her my phone, and she widens her eyes, taking it from my hands.
"This is weird and I don't why but it feels good and I have all this energy!" she jumps on the bed, and takes my hand for me to climb on it with her "This is progress!" She spins around and laughs, and it's amazing how happy she is right now. She holds me by my shoulders and I can't help myself, pressing my lips against hers. She pulls away slightly, and peeks over my shoulder "how long have you been awake for?"
"I don't know maybe half an hour?"
"and you're already eating?!" she giggles, hitting on the same note as always, yes, I eat a lot.
"Well it is my second favorite thing to do..."
"and what's the first?" I pull her closer to me, and bring both of us down to the bed, kissing down her neck "glad to see is the same as mine..."
Tori's POV
Austin opens up the door to his car, and me Cat and Beck get out to get our bags, Jade, Andre and Robbie are riding with Dolph. I can't believe the holidays ended already, it was all so stressful, and amazing at the same time.
"Now y'all ain't going to forget about me once you get back home now are you?" I nod my head, and he pulls me in for a hug. There isn't one day about this trip that I can't think about something good happening, a silver lining, of course there was the day I had to take that fucking morning after pill that gives you the worst cramps and headache, but at least I know I'm not pregnant.
"I won't, if you happen to come by the city, give us a call" I let go of him, and Cat gives him a wink before going inside, she hooked up with Miguel, and even so she won't give up on Austin. Whatever works for her.
The flight is just as uneventful as the last one, but there's something, I don't know if it's the Zolof, or the fact that I came clean about all of shitty things that happened before and during Christmas with my friends; But I do know that there's a huge weight off my back, and that I'll ignore the stupid clock on back of my mind that ticks louder by the minute, reminding me of the four months that are about to come, and try to think of them as the best four months.
Oh crap, I'm nostalgic for right now.
"Oh they're having sale on the duty free! 50% off on all books!" Cat yells, running the opposite way from the arrivals gate. As always, Robbie goes after her.
"Beck! Tori!" I spot his Mom on with a small sign and the biggest smile on her face, rushing to Beck and pulling him into a hug as soon as we leave the line. "It's really nice to officially meet you" she says, and pulls me into a hug too. "Your father couldn't come, but that fine, tell me, how was the trip?"
I leave Beck to do most of the talking, he seems to get really well with his Mom. They have the same sense of humor, even talk alike which is a little weird, but I guess having any kind of connection with your parents would seem weird to me. A week, I was gone for a week and no one called me, not even a text to ask if I was ok or if we made it fine to Chattanooga. In these seven days the closest I came to talking to my family was Robbie, telling me about Trina's call, that was it.
"There you go Tori, do you want me to carry your bags?" she stops the car in front of my house, and my Dad's car is parked up front with the trunk opened, full of boxes...what the...
"No it's fine, thank you Miss Oliver" ignoring what I just said, Beck rushes out of the carry to carry my bag. I kiss him goodbye, it'll be weird not spending twenty four hours of the day with him, but in the end I can always sneak out and sleep at his RV. Can you call it sneak out if you parents don't mind you're out past your curfew?
I open the door, and..."What's going on?!"
"Tori, you're home!"
