Maybe we're just having too much fun.
Chapter 6
“Hey Himes” Skylie says as I sit next to her, close enough for our thighs to push together. I smile at my nickname and wrap my arm around her shoulder.
“Hey Sky. So what movie are we watching first?” I ask before grabbing the bowl of popcorn with my free arm. I put the bowl on my upper lap and Skylie reaches to the table to grab her soda as well as mine. She hands me my glass and uses her newly free hand to grab the small bowl of Sour Patch Kids. I now lean back, as does she.
“Star Wars.” She grins widely. Of course. Star Wars. Her and Tony's favorite movie. They always watched it together. I hide my sadness with a smile and grab the remote located beside me before pressing play.
Halfway through the movie, we're out of popcorn and about halfway through our sodas. I unwrapped my arm around her earlier and now we were just sitting beside each other, focused on the movie. Yeah, real focused. I'll have you know that this girl is perfection. I have observed her every feature and every move from the corner of my eye. I start to think of all of the things that could happen on tour. Maybe I can finally confess my feelings for her. Wait.. maybe I can tell her now. I turn my body to face hers and open my mouth as the words flow out “Skylie, I need to tell you something.” I say, gaining her attention.
“What is it?” She asks.
“I--” I start but get cut off by an attention grabbing entrance from Tony. My fucking god Tony. Why?
“OH MY GOD. YOU GUYS ARE WATCHING STAR WARS WITHOUT ME?!?!?!?!” He exclaims and run to the couch. He sits in the spot between Sky and I. 'Fuck you, Tony' I think to myself.
“Sorry Tone.” Skylie says softly.
“Awh, it's okay gorgeous.” Tony said and I tense up. Why can't I talk to her like that without worrying? Oh yeah because i'm utterly and completely in love with her.
Before I know it the third movie, Toy Story, is over. For the first time since Tony arrived I look over at the two. They're cuddled together, both sleeping. I stand trying not to wake either of them up but fail.
“Hey, Jaime, can you take Sky to your room tonight?” Tone asks still partially asleep. I nod and wrap my arms around the girl's body. I gently carry her to my room being extra careful on the stairs. The entire time I stare down at her perfection. Once I reach my room I use my foot to open the door. I walk to my bed and set her on the soft surface. I pull the blankets over her and sit beside her body.
After about 10 minutes of just staring at her lovingly, i'm startled by a voice. “You love her don't you?” Vic asks me from my door way. I just nod, knowing that I can't hide it much longer.
“She loves you back.” He says matter of factly. I chuckle softly trying not to wake up Skylie.
“Yeah, and unicorns are real.” I sigh. “But seriously, she doesn't. Well, maybe as like a friend or brother but nothing more. I think she's in love with Tony.”
Vic laughs before speaking. “Dude, you're so fucking stupid. One day you'll see.” He smiles.. “Anyway, I'm off to bed. Night Himes.” Vic turns on his heels with his hands in his pockets.
I turn back to Sky and sigh before standing and beginning to strip. I'm in my boxer briefs as I go around to the other side of the bed and lay my body under the blankets. I respect her space by staying on my part as I think of Vic's words 'She loves you back.' The words repeat in my head as I fall into a peaceful sleep, knowing that the girl I love is right beside me.
-Skylie's pov-
“Skylie.” I hear coming from beside me. My eyes flutter open and I realize i'm in Jaime's room. I take a moment to recall last night's events as a precaution. I stare at the poster covered black walls as I remember last falling asleep next to Tony on the couch in the living room.
I finally turn over to see a dreaming Jaime. I smile but then hear the words “I love you.” Come out of his mumbling mouth.
I sigh and move my elbows so they're no longer propping up my body. “I wish.”
I lay there for a few more minutes before Jamie slowly wakes up. “Well good morning sleeping beauty” I tell him jokingly.
Then he surprises me by pulling me on top of him and into a hug. I feel his arms wrap tightly around me and I do the same with mine, wishing this could happen every second of every day. Still hugging. Jaime sits up, making me as well. I nestle my head into his neck and let one of my hands go up to his hair. I massage his head until I hear a chorus of 'awes' fill the room. I turn my head slightly and see Tony, Mike and Vic all in the doorway with a total of 5 plates containing pancakes, toast and various sliced fruits.
“Hey guys.” Jaime says casually.
“Sorry for interrupting but we just figured we could all have breakfast in bed. Jaime's bed.” Mike said “But it seems you guys are busy...” Mike trails off and starts to turn around.
“No, it's cool. We were just sharing a good morning hug.” I say and get off of Jaime's lap.
“Well ok.” Vic said and walked over to the bed, being followed by Tony and Mike. I was handed my plate. On it were 2 pancakes complete with butter and syrup, 2 slices of buttered toast and a sliced apple or two with carmel on the side.
After breakfast is done, I thank the guys and go downstairs to the kitchen to wash my plate. As I'm doing so, I feel someone wrap their arms around me from behind. I inhale the cologne and immediately recognize it as Jaime.
“Hey.” He murmurs into my ear and I resist the urge to shudder as his breath hits my ear.
“Hey Himes” I say noticing my breathing hitch. I turn around to face him as I dry my plate and place it on the counter.
“You know.. there's something I've been wanting to try for a while and I don't know how it's going to turn out. So can you promise me that things won't be awkward between us afterwards?” He says as he rests his forehead on my shoulder. 'What's going on?' I think to myself before deciding on my reply.
“I promise. Now what is it?” I say and then he pulls his head back, leaving his arms around my waist. He stares into my eyes and I stare into his. I notice him getting closer to me. First moving slowly, then slowly speeding up. His lips were about a millimeter away from mine and both of our eyes were closed as he spoke.
“This.” He said before pushing his lips against mine. I kissed him back and I could feel both of us smile into the affectionate kiss. It felt like bombs were going off. Not just sparks and bombs but fireworks. Anything and everything explosive. All filled with more love than they can handle. The kiss was slow but filled with love. His tongue slid across my bottom lip, wanting to be given entrance and I let him in. Our tongue's fought for dominance until they gave up and we slowed the kiss down and pulled away. I waited for my breathing to return back to normal before trying to speak.
“Wow. Uh...” I trailed off staring at his bare and toned chest.
“Yeah.” He said and smiled as he rested his chin against the bridge of my nose. “Sky..” He trailed off and backed away. “I'm sorry. I'm so sorry” He said before running up the stairs and away from me. Leaving me absolutely and completely dumbfounded. All I could think was 'What the hell just happened?'
Okay. I love this. UPDATE SOON PWEEZ!!!
