Rock Star
Chapter 5
Brendan manages to catch Ste up as he walks up towards the drum kit, he grabs hold of Ste's arm and spins him around quickly them ending up close together. Brendan looks into Ste's eyes as he smirks back and moves his hands to rest on Brendan's chest. The stage is really cold so Brendan's nipples stand erect through his tight t shirt and Ste deftly flicks over them with his thumbs making Brendan groan low and close his eyes to the touch.
When he opens them again Ste is tilting his head at him."I thought you wanted to take it slow Brendan?" Ste asks circling his covered nipples slowly.
"I do" Brendan hisses and wriggles in Ste's hands."But I forgot one thing"
"OH, and what's that then?" Ste pinches Brendan in his fingers and sticks his tongue out through his teeth when Brendan ahh's.
"This" Brendan places his hand behind Ste's neck and licks his lips as he pulls Ste into a melting kiss, stroking his tongue over Ste's quivering mouth. Ste pushes into it leaning his flat palms on Brendan's chest he stands on his tip toes for a deeper embrace. Ste feels his body shock with the sensual kiss, he places his arms around Brendan's neck and holds on like it was some kind of dream he was desperate to cling on to.
Brendan curls his tongue around Ste's enjoying the hot wet taste of him in his entirety, doesn't want to end it, he turns Ste around to settle against the drum stand and presses their bodies full contact not breaking the kiss. After an exquisite time of basically eating each other alive they part breathless and lean their foreheads together, eyes closed. Brendan strokes his finger down Ste's face resting it under his chin again tilting him up to look in his eyes.
"I should have done that the first time we met" Brendan purred as Ste giggled head in the clouds somewhere miles above them.
"Just glad you did, and I agree, to that drink by the way" Ste laughed and so did Brendan then.
"Maybe we could just sit and kiss the whole time?" Brendan eyes Ste with intensity.
"OH, did you not know the new first date rules now?" Ste asks incredulous "You actually HAVE to spend the whole time snogging now, tongues and everything" Ste winked and moved to walk off stage.
"And everything?" Brendan walks with Ste not keeping his eyes off him.
"Everything" Ste agrees.
"OH this is cosy!" Kevin appears from out of the shadows."Great show by the way, you two are hot"
"Get the hell away from him" Ste warns as Brendan holds Ste back.
"What do ye want Kevin, thought I'd made myself perfectly clear earlier?"
"You mean this?" Kevin gestures his finger to his bloody nose "I'm gonna make you regret this Brendan, you think you can walk away, you're wrong"
"Don't you dare! Brendan has helped put you where you are! How about some gratitude eh? Not that you deserve it you can't even sing!" Ste seethes trying to bat Brendan's securing hands away.
"Little twat, who do you think you are? He's just having some fun then he'll dump your ass! You ain't nothing special Ste" Kevin laughs as Brendan is about to hit him again his band mates turn up and diffuse the situation. Simon takes Kevin by the scruff of his neck and runs him back down the corridor, warning him to leave before something bad happens.
They all meet with Ste properly this time shaking their hands and Warren spends the whole time nudging Brendan in his ribs knowingly and driving him mad. They exchange glances to each other the whole time and Ste's heart skips a beat when he catches Brendan looking at him, always with hungry eyes, turns him on.
The band all say good bye and Brendan walks to the backdoor with Ste and Sinead. Sinead shakes Brendan's hand and leaves to sort them a taxi. Ste side glances at Brendan not knowing what the next move is now, things have been left up in the air besides an earth shattering kiss and references to a date on Brendan's part.
"I feel like a giddy child, no idea what to say to you" Ste blushes and looks down to the floor
Brendan feels a twinge in his stomach seeing Ste blush and oh my god, just wants to kiss him again.
"Steven, ye look beautiful when ye blush" Brendan cups his hands over Ste's face and they look into each others eyes. "I don't think I'll ever get enough of ye now, this is going to be complicated"
"Good complicated though" Ste adds licking his lips and moves towards Brendan's mouth pressing a chased kiss there. "Here's my number, call when you have time for the drink, and everything" Ste bites the bottom of Brendan's lip and walks out of the door leaving Brendan to brush over the kiss Ste left with his fingers and smile.
Ste and Sinead get into the taxi and don't look at each other but inside there's something brewing in their stomachs. They eventually glance at each other smiling, and then it gets too much turning towards each other they squeal like a hundred cats have just been let out of a bag.
"STEEE!Oh my god!" Sinead grabs his hands and jolts them up and down practically dislocating them. "What happened?!"
"Oh my god, I am still on cloud 9 actually, he finally kissed me and I swear I proper melted in his arms"
"NEVER! Oh you jammie sod, I'm not surprised either" Sinead winks then looks all serious
"Now what though Ste? I mean it's not gonna be easy is it, you two?" Sinead holds a gentle hand to Ste's hand.
"I know" Ste's face drops" I have to be realistic, I probably wont hear off him again, he has a crazy lifestyle" Ste looks out of the window and wipes a tear away, closing his eyes he remembers the amazing kiss, and their promise of a date. He can't keep his hopes up though, and decides not to attend any more concerts now and just get on with the restaurant and living his life. It hurts like hell though, his heart feels like it's shrinking.
Ste and Sinead don't speak for the rest of the journey home,instead they cuddle together on the back seat and let the movement of the car journey home keep them rested until they arrive at the flat.
Brendan is sat at the back of the tour bus as the rest of the band have now creeped up on him and settled down in front watching and waiting for Brendan to finally speak. He smirks to himself feeling their hot gazes and opens his mouth and they take in a breath, but he just yawns and smiles again. The others get mad now.
"Right! Enough, tell us what happened!" Dennis shouts and surprises the lot of them.
"Erm, calm down Dennis" Simon rests a firm hand on his shoulder widening his eyes at him. "Brendan, come on, you owe us an explanation" Simon agrees.
"We met again, and I asked him out for a drink" Brendan admits playing with his nails looking up at them sitting forward and listening intently.
"That's it? Seriously, no carnal knowledge? Brendan you are loosing ya touch mate!" Warren sniggers
"God, ye are so bad for gossip! We kissed a little..." Brendan smirked
"Now we are getting somewhere, someone put kettle on!" Dennis cries getting comfy.
"That's it though! A kiss and a date that has to happen yet" Brendan gestures his hands in the air.
"Great stuff!" Simon nods "What's going on with Kevin though, his face looked like he'd walked into something"
"It did, my fist" Brendan admitted looking at Simon "He set Steven up, so I taught him a lesson" Brendan sighed "OK maybe I shouldn't have hit him but he messed with Steven so...
"Sounds like this is more that a bit of fun Brendan" Dennis raises his eyebrow "Good to see you smiling though".
Ste was stood outside his flat and pacing. He looks down at the text he'd received off Brendan earlier 'Be outside ye flat,someone will pick ye up. 6 pm, BB x' It had been a week since Ste had heard anything off Brendan, and to be honest he wasn't keeping his hopes up.
He threw himself into work, staying at the restaurant long hours and not really managing to sleep at night with too many thoughts racing around his Saturday afternoon, as he was clearing up the kitchen his phone beeped and there it was a text off Brendan.
His stomach jumped and he had to sit down reading the message over and over again, making sure he wasn't actually dreaming it. He wasn't though and had replied with a simple 'OK. Ste x'
Ste took a long time choosing what to wear and opted for indigo ripped jeans and a t shirt. Brendan hadn't said they were going out, and he doubted he'd be able to go out in public anyway.
He was so nervous he could barely breathe with it. Brendan had said someone would pick him up, but who? Ste understood that the press will watch Brendan like a hawk so it's impossible for him to pick him up.
He hated that though, he felt like he was some sort of dirty secret, made him feel uneasy. Sinead came out of the flat in her PJ's rubbing at her arms and shivering at the cooling night air.
"Hey, not arrived then?" Sinead asked walking up in her pink fluffy slippers.
"Not yet no, and I've no clue who is coming either! It can't be Brendan." Ste shrugged
"You excited seeing him again though right?" Sinead nudged Ste in the ribs.
"Excited being the right word, that kiss, didn't think I'd be able to think straight ever again!" Ste coos back at Sinead smiling
"AW Ste you too are so sweet, you gonna kiss again?"
"We wont do owt else if I have anything to do with it" Ste grinned as a bright pair of headlights beamed over them making them shield up there arms at it.
"Sorry!" Cheryl waved her hand out of the wound down window as she changed her headlight beam from blinding flood light to dim flicker.
"Hiya, your carriage awaits!" Cheryl joked pointing to her car.
Ste and Sinead looked at each other in surprise then Sinead laughed kissing Ste on the cheek and hugging him tight
"Have a great time, I wont stay up" Sinead winked and waved to Cheryl as she walked back into the flat closing the door.
Ste walked over to Cheryl and smiled sheepishly not knowing what to say.
"Come on Ste, he's been dying to see ye!" Cheryl squealed getting in the car and Ste relaxed hearing that settling into the passenger seat.
"Really?" Ste asked cursing himself for sounding to giddy about the fact
"Gosh yes! He talks about ye all the time, he asked me to pick ye up as the press ain't that bothered about little old me"Cheryl smiled the looked in her rear view mirror seeing a car parked behind them in the distance. Cheryl squints her eyes and looks around but she can't see anyone in it so shrugs it off looking again at Ste who is now fidgeting.
"Ste relax! I aint the bogie man, I'm Bren's sister!" Cheryl starts up the car and sets off, behind them two headlights switch on and the car that was parked there begins to follow them.
"Bren?" Ste asks smiling and glancing at Cheryl driving. "I like that"
"Oh yeah I call him that sometimes, dunno why. He calls me Chez" Cheryl adds as they drive.
"I've sorted you a hotel room" Cheryl suddenly confesses as Ste is taken aback "Its safer for ye, so none of the press can find out where ye live, then we can work out how to get ye sneaked out and home, might give ye a disguise" Cheryl ponders
"What?! Hang on slow down here! A hotel room, a disguise?Seriously?" Ste widens his eyes and wrings his hands with nerves.
"Ste, Brendan is a celebrity, the press follow him everywhere,it's just as a precaution. He is used to it, you're not." Cheryl felt awkward suddenly and warmed a little to Ste's apprehension.
"Sorry love, I didn't mean to worry ye, just my job, I take it seriously"
"Where are we going?" Ste asks looking out of the windscreen looking at passing signposts.
"Brendan's place, he rents homes as and where we tour. So Liverpool is where we're off, another reason for the hotel room, as you wont have as long if ye go home tonight"
"Why can't I stay at Brendan's?"
"Erm, well I dunno, Brendan didn't say about ye two..."
" You can trust me you know,I won't jump on him,even if it is tempting"Ste blushes but thinks about that in great detail smirking and looking out of the window.
"Oh I know love,it's Bren I can't trust" Cheryl smirks looking at Ste then back to the road ahead.
Cheryl tells Ste to crouch down in his seat as she covers him with her coat before they pull up to the electric gates at the private property. A few flashes go off from cameras as a few photographers are outside the property as she pulls up, she had rang ahead and Brendan opened the gates to let them in.
Cheryl drove around to the back and pulled into a garage located next to the house. Switching off the engine she smiles at Ste when she takes her coat off him. Ste feels very strange, like he's part of a world that's basically full of nut cases.
They leave the car and wander through the garage into a huge house, Ste looks around it in awe. It's very modern and grand. Cheryl shouts out as Brendan appears at the top of the stairs and Ste can't keep his eyes off him, he's wearing tight black jeans and a red top and he looks so gorgeous Ste swallows hard.
Brendan feels the same looking at Ste and stumbles on one of the steps as he walks down them too busy gazing into Ste's beautiful blue eyes. Cheryl stands there looking between them both and smirks looking down to the floor then back up at Brendan.
"Right then, I will hang around 10 minutes then be off and leave you to it." Cheryl touches Ste's arm and jolts him from Brendan's gaze and winks fondly at him leaving back through to the garage. Ste watches as she leaves then looks back at Brendan who hasn't averted his gaze.
He smiles shyly as Brendan slows his approach towards him, Ste's heart beat quickens as Brendan stops before reaches the bottom step, using his hands to hold him up on the banisters he leans down close to Ste's face and kisses Ste again slow fleeting touch of his lips, their hearts skip beats.
"Bren..." he barely whispers it on breath.
Ste gently pushes his lips over Brendan's mouth, they enjoy the moment, Ste strokes his hand over Brendan's cheek and traces his fingers around to the back of his neck, making Brendan flutter his mouth slightly at the touch. Ste slips his tongue in at that precise moment and opens Brendan's mouth wider Ste touches Brendan's tongue with wet languid strokes and moans as it feels amazing.
They kiss long and hard swallowing each others groans, it's heart stirring and luscious. It gets too much for Brendan he feels so turned on for Ste he breaks the kiss briefly to gasp and rest his forehead on his. Glancing his eyes up he sees Ste's are closed.
"Steven...Fuck" Brendan takes a deep breath and pulls away;stepping down the rest of the steps he tilts Ste's face up to him. "Glad ye could make it" Brendan smirked tracing his fingers over Ste's lips humming with content. "I like how ye taste" he adds watching Ste blush and it makes his stomach flip.
"Where else would I want to be?" Ste replied looking up at Brendan through his lashes and staring at Brendan's tongue as he licks a delicious wet line with the tip over his bottom lip."Stop it..." Ste sighs with a shiver
"Stop what" Brendan smirks sticking out more of his tongue and making a blatant obscenity out of it over his lips.
"That..."
Brendan opens his mouth and moves nearer to Ste's mouth,he licks over his bottom lip "Make me"
"I'll suck it if you don't put it away" Ste pants slowly looking into Brendan eye's
"Steven..." Brendan sticks his tongue out fully as Ste grabs his mouth over it sucking hard and they fall together again snogging the life out of each other, Brendan feels his hands behind him and lowers them onto the stairs bringing Ste on top of him, widening their mouths making loud filthy juicy noises as they kiss the deepest they can get. Brendan wraps his fingers through Ste's hair as Ste places his palms flat against either side of Brendan's face on the stairs rocking their mouths together.
They part for air heavy breathing and eyes full of lust for each other, they eventually laugh and Ste moves to stand up pulling Brendan back up off the stairs.
"Well, if that's the welcome I'll get, I'm coming around again!" Ste giggles and then glances about "You gonna show me around?"
"Ye can come round any time Steven" Brendan moves his arm around Ste turning him towards the kitchen. "Come on, I owe ye a drink" Brendan walks Ste through to the kitchen with his palm on his lower back.
The kitchen is huge and he has one of those massive fridges. Brendan gestures to the two tall stools at the breakfast bar as Ste nods edging up onto one and settling on his folded arms.
"What can I offer ye?" Brendan asks opening the fridge.
"Now there's a question" Ste smirks "Have you any beer?"
"Yep" Brendan grabs two bottles opening them and passing Ste one sitting down next to him. They clink the bottles together and nod before taking a drink. Ste has some droplets on his lips so Brendan thumbs over them sucking his thumb in his mouth making Ste swallow hard again.
"You have a nice place" Ste speaks looking around "Very big, my flat would fit in here a few times over"
"Hmm, just rented, I have a proper place in London, while we tour I find homes to use till we move on" Brendan admits smoothing his fingers down the neck of the bottle, Ste watches as he does it.
"Mm,do you move around a lot then? I mean, do you ever leave England?" Ste asks
"Well been to Ireland, Dublin, Isle Of Man places like that. We are mainly a UK based band but who knows what the future holds" Brendan takes a long drink eyeing up Ste "Anyway, thought ye meant to be a fan? Shouldn't ye know more than me?"
"Ah well, just your fan really, I mean I do love your music though... just I noticed the singer before anything else" Ste acts coy and tries to change the subject "So Cheryl is nice"
"Yeah, she is. And I am glad ye did notice Steven, cos I sure as hell noticed ye"
"When?" Ste interrupted interested.
Brendan leans closer to Ste "In the crowd, I was singing one of our rock ballads and I saw ye in the front row." Brendan glanced from Ste's eyes to his mouth watching his Adams apple bob when he swallowed.
"Do you really think I'm beautiful?"
"Yes I do Steven, so deliciously beautiful" Brendan beamed seductively and Ste moved close for a chased kiss
"Flatterer" Ste smiled.
"Come on" Brendan got up of his seat."I'll show ye rest of the house."
Ste followed Brendan as he showed him around to the lounge games room and even mini cinema. The house had four bedrooms and each had an en suite, Ste was in shock with the sheer size of the place.
Brendan showed him through to a conservatory which had a Jacuzzi and mini bar. The widows had automatic blinds that came down to give privacy. They settled back into the games room and decided on a game of pool with another beer each.
"How long have you been a chef?" Brendan pocketed a stripe in to the corner pocket.
"Oh a long time, studied at college, found out I had a talent for cooking, bought my own restaurant and had that a couple of years now"
"So ye live with that red head then?
"Sinead, yeah. I could move if I wanted but it's cheap and we have a laugh, been flatmates years" Ste smiled pocketing a spot ball.
They spoke for hours playing pool and drinking beer getting to know each other craving all the information they could get out of each other. The time got late and Brendan took a call from Cheryl asking whether Ste wanted to be taken to his hotel or not and that she would come and pick him up if he wanted. Brendan covered the receiver and looked at Ste who was sat watching TV.
"Steven, Chez says she'll take ye to your hotel"
Ste looked up and stood quickly looking at his feet then back up at Brendan "OH...Yeah Ok then"
Brendan cleared his throat "I mean ye welcome to stay here,in one of the spare rooms of course, if ye want too?"
"Yeah, I'd like that, kinda having a great time" Ste smiled
"Me too" Brendan smiled back as Chez could be heard shouting on the phone trying to get Brendan's attention "Sorry Chez! Steven is staying...in the spare room...Chez for crying out loud, just...NO, right I am putting the phone down" Brendan shook his head and placed his phone back in his jeans pocket.
"Chez thinks I'm gonna take advantage of ye" Brendan smirks settling down on the sofa opposite Ste
"Are you?" Ste asks eyes wide open filthy smirk laid across his mouth
Brendan leans in close to Ste as Ste follows suit, they lean on the back of the sofa Brendan snaking his arm over the back and tickling through Ste's hair lightly.
"Believe me I'd relish it, but I want to get this right, I like ye Steven, more than I expected too"
"Shame, I want to make out with you all night instead" Ste flirted with Brendan licking his lips. "Think you can handle that?"
"Depends how well ye beg Steven"
Ste looked through his long eyelashes at Brendan moving closer he whispers"Put your mouth on me...Please..."
Brendan moved Ste's face towards him moving in for a slow kiss, they melted into it, and forgot the rest of the movie on TV. Ste lay on top of Brendan and deepened their kisses moaning contently, they eventually fell asleep together Ste curled up on Brendan's chest, Brendan resting his hand on Ste's back.
Cheryl arrived back at Brendan's first thing in the morning and buzzed through to the house jolting Brendan and Ste from their slumber, Ste was still laid on top of Brendan and he quickly slid off him to allow Brendan to walk over to the intercom and find out it was Chez, he buzzed her through the gate. He walked past Ste and headed straight for thebathroom. Ste felt a little uneasy and out of place all of a sudden, he'd not meant to fall asleep on the sofa.
Cheryl walked in from the garage and smiled waving to Ste.
"Hey love, ye sleep OK?"
"We um, fell asleep together on here" Ste blushed standing up "Can you show me where the bathroom is? I can't remember it so big in here!"
"Of course" Cheryl pointed to a small bathroom as Ste went in and settled down on the side of the bath. He placed his head in his hands and rubbed them quickly trying to wake himself up. He looked up at the very tempting shower cubical and bit his lip thinking.
He decided to have a quick shower, he doubted Brendan would mind. Ste stripped off and got into the shower using some of the gel he found to lather himself up. He was humming enjoying the steamy hot water when he heard Brendan's voice.
"Morning Steven" Brendan called from the other side of the cubical
"Um, hey, Brendan. Hope you don't mind me having a shower?"
"Nope, is it warm in there?" Brendan asked leaning up against the door.
"Very warm, you wanna get in? The shower I mean" Ste closed his eyes and shook his head.
"I wanna get in Steven...
Ste took a deep breath and opened up the door reaching out his hand he grabbed Brendan into the shower with him pushing him up against the cubical and kissing him.
Brendan reciprocated pulling away and looking down at the clothes he was still wearing "If you'd let me finish Steven, I'd have said let me get undressed first" Brendan gestured his hands as Ste looked down at his now saturated clothes and looked sheepish.
"AH...sorry." They laughed and Brendan moved Ste backwards and took in the wet sight of his body and groaned.
"Look at ye, so beautiful Steven" Brendan traced his hands down Ste's chest slopping over the water there, and down towards his lower back settling on his arse cheeks and squeezing them in his big hands. Steven yelped as he did it and moved to kiss Brendan again.
"Not shy then Steven?" Brendan asked looking into his eyes as Ste shook his head in response, he began to unbutton Brendan's wet shirt for him, Brendan dared to move one of his hands around the front of Ste touching on his length and making Ste gasp closing his eyes.
"Fuck...Brendan" Ste whimpers as Brendan intensifies his strokes thumbing over the slit and Ste shudders at the touch,wants to feel Brendan in his hands so moves to his jeans un buttoning them and pulling down the zipper he reaches in and grabs Brendan's cock in his wet palm and drags friction over it.
"Steven...god" Brendan hisses kissing Ste against the shower cubical.
"Um Bren?" Cheryl can be heard knocking on the bathroom door "Sorry guys but I need to get Ste home, loads of paps are outside"
"Shit!" Brendan gasps grinding into Ste's palm "We have to stop"
Ste groaned and backed off nodding, Brendan moved out of the shower removing his clothes and wrapping a towel around his waist he gives Ste a towel and he dries himself off as Brendan watches him intently. Ste gets dressed and walks over to Brendan placing his arms around his waist and pulling him into a kiss."To be continued then?" Ste smiled
"Definitely to be" Brendan agreed opening the bathroom door and seeing Cheryl waiting for them sheepishly.
"Sorry guys, Ste come on I need ye to hide under my coat" Cheryl laughed.
Cheryl organised a meeting with the band in her office as they all settled down.
"Great news guys! We're going to America" Cheryl beamed
"What? You serious? Oh wow, we get to play in the U.S guys!" Dennis bounds around the office like a child that had blue smarties.
Simon and warren were in shock and hugged each other. Brendan has skulked off over to the office window and had looked through it down to the streets below, he watched as the people walked about getting on with their lives, and the traffic as it drove by.
He looked troubled and in deep thought as the others celebrated around him. Cheryl was beaming wide watching the others so happy so when she noticed Brendan her smile slipped quickly. She sighed and tried to round up the other three, getting them to give her and Brendan a bit of time alone.
Simon agreed suggesting a drink to celebrate; they all went out shouting in cheered voices as they left the office. The room became deathly silent now as Cheryl walked over to Brendan and placed a warm hand Brendan's shoulder bringing him out of his trance. Brendan half heartily smiled at her and brought her into a tight hug kissing her temple and letting her go settling down on the sofa in there.
"What is it babe?" Cheryl asked sitting down next to Brendan.
"America huh? That's um, miles away from the UK" Brendan deducted still looking in a trance.
"Yes it is Hun, across the water..Bren what is it? I thought you'd be happy getting to play in the States; this could lead to bigger things for ye as a band."
"I know and ye have worked hard to get us this break Chez ye are amazing! I can't wait, the lads are so excited" Brendan smiled and patted her on the shoulder before standing up to leave
"It's Ste..isn't it?" Cheryl asked as Brendan stopped lowering his head
"No" he lied
"Bren I know ye, and ye are lying. Ye don't want to leave him do ye?"
Brendan sighed and turned back to Cheryl and shook his head pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Chez what is happening to me? Seriously I was OK till I met him now my head its...all over the place."
"I think ye might like him a lot more that ye realise love. Look its not forever a few months at most"
"What if he doesn't want to wait though? He might find someone else, how can I go all that time not seeing him? I..."
"Bren, do ye love him?" Chez widens her eyes in shock and walks over to Brendan leaning her face to look at him.
"I dunno Chez, except if I think about my life without him, it hurts like hell in here" Brendan admits pointing to his chest."How am I going to tell him?"
"You've got a month left touring in the UK use any spare time to be with him yeah? And if he feels the same, he will understand. He has to, he knows your profession, Ste knew what he was taking on when he became a part of your life. He might even surprise ye"
Please review? :) xx
