Eleftheria’s POV

I followed Vic into the back of the bus where we could have more privacy. He motioned for me to take a seat on the couch that lined the room and I did, very slowly. I watched as Vic continued to stand. He pulled his hat from his head and ran his fingers through his hair, pulling out any tangles. He pushed his hat back on his head in its backwards position and took a seat on the couch adjacent to the one I was sitting on.

“Listen, let me just explain,” Vic said.

“Yes, please do,” I said softly. I wanted to be angry at him, but I just couldn’t be. I was hurt more than anything.

“When I found out that you were new to the area, and that you didn’t know who I was, I took it for granted. I just…I haven’t been interested in anyone for a long time, and then you come along and everything about you just entices me. I was afraid of you treating me differently when you found out I was in a band, and I didn’t want to risk that. I just wanted to be treated normally.”

I didn’t know what to do other than nod. “Where did you come up with a jazz musician on cruise ship?” I let out a small laugh.

“Well, my dad actually plays jazz music, and I don’t know about the rest. It just came out,” Vic laughed awkwardly and took a chance in scooting closer to me. I did the same until we were sitting right beside each other.

“So this is what you’ve been doing for the past few months?” I asked as I looked around the room. I noticed how it was clean, but cluttered. Posters, t-shirts, alcohol bottles, and pillows were everywhere, but stowed away nicely so they weren’t in the way of anything. “This is where you’ve been living,” I said the last part more to myself than anything.

“Yeah,” Vic chuckled. “Homey, right?”

I laughed and shook my head.

“Why were you here tonight? How did you find out?”

“I didn’t find out until you came on stage, actually. My room-mate and her boyfriend are apparently fans of yours. They had an extra ticket and drug me along. I…um…haven’t left the apartment much. Let alone, my room.”

Vic seemed a bit happy at hearing this. I couldn’t help but wonder if he had slept with any girls while they traveled the United States. Of course I had no right to be angry, but I would definitely be jealous. It’s not like Vic and I were serious, although I desperately wanted us to be. Everything about him interested me. His style, his thoughts, and now his music. But not because he was in a successful band, I was interested in the music and the lyrics and his talents.

“I, um, haven’t really left my bunk, which I guess is like my room,” Vic chuckled awkwardly and I let out an audible sigh of relief. “I didn’t…sleep with anyone…” he admitted slowly.

“Oh,” I said softly as a smile took over my face.

“Did you?”

“No.”

Vic smiled at this and gently placed his hand on my thigh. “You look fucking amazing tonight,” Vic said lowly. His voice was enough to turn me on. I turned and tackled him down onto the couch, connecting our lips quickly. He immediately returned the kiss.

Things escalated very quickly. I kicked off my shoes and Vic pulled down my thigh high socks very slowly. His fingertips grazed my legs and I couldn’t take it anymore. I pushed him back on the couch and straddled him, lifting off his shirt as soon as I sat on his lap. I reached down to his shorts and popped open the button.

“Condom,” he said quickly. “I don’t have one.”

“Get one,” I replied.

“I can’t go out there like this,” he motioned down to his shorts. “You go get it. They’re in my bunk. In the backpack.”

I got up quickly and entered the bunk area, but stared at all of the bunks. They all had their curtains pulled back and I wasn’t about to go pulling them open and try to guess which one was Vic’s.

“What are you doing?” Jaime asked. Mike and Tony stood up to see me standing in the middle of the bunks.

“Vic’s bunk?” I asked.

Mike pointed to the bunk on my left and I pulled the curtain back and grabbed the backpack. I searched the pockets until I found the condoms. I grabbed the first one I saw and pulled it out quickly, hoping none of the boys would notice, but as I pulled back, and entire string of condoms unraveled and hung from my hand.

“Woah,” Jaime laughed. “You going to need all of those?”

I just shrugged and headed back toward the back of the bus with a blush consuming my face.

“Have fun!” Tony called out as I shut the door behind me.

I looked over to Vic who was sitting on the same spot, exactly how I had left him. I held out the condoms and laughed. “I hope this is enough,” I commented as I tore the first one off of the rest. I tossed it over to him and began to remove my own clothes. He watched me as he slowly pulled off the rest of his clothes and slipped the condom onto himself. Once I had stripped myself of all clothing, I went back to my straddling position, but kept myself hovering over Vic so he could position himself beneath me. He pulled me down and we both let out a slightly loud moan at the feeling.

It had been too long since I had Vic, and the feeling was almost unbearable. I felt like I was a virgin all over again, but then again, he always made me feel like that. He knew just what I liked, he knew exactly what angle got me the best, and he knew just how to make me scream.

I knew where to kiss and I knew what to say as he thrust into me. I knew all the right places to claw at and I knew exactly which positions he liked the most.

-

I put my clothes back on as Vic did the same. Unfortunately we didn’t get to use all of the condoms I had grabbed, but I was more than satisfied with the one we did use. Plus I was sure that the boys didn’t want to hear any more of our moans and screams. We weren’t exactly quiet. Vic told me that it didn’t matter if they heard us, so I took to his word and held nothing back. It felt good to let it all out; we were so used to sneaking around my room-mate and trying to be quiet.

We walked out of the back room together and saw that the rest of the guys were sitting around in the front of the bus where a few other people had joined them.

“THERIA!” I snapped my head up to see Maggie and Jacob standing there. Maggie’s expression was worried but her eyes were excited beyond belief. “Good god,” she said as she pulled me into a hug. I laughed a little bit and hugged her back. I looked over to Jacob who was sipping on a drink and looking around with wide-eyes and a huge smile.

“Ew,” she pushed me away. “Why are you all sweaty?”

The rest of the band all started to laugh and Maggie and Jacob gave me an over-whelmed, confused look. I could only imagine how confused and excited they were at the entire situation. Here I was, on a bus with a band they listened to, acting like it was no big deal. I had disappeared from the venue and now here we all were, standing on their tour bus.

“Sorry,” Vic said as he came into view from behind me. “Some of that might be my sweat.”

Maggie’s eyes went wide and she turned to look at me with a huge smile. “Is this the guy you’ve been sneaking into our apartment in the middle of the night?”

“What? How did you know about that?” I asked, blushing furiously. Our conversation had an audience, and I was feeling a bit self-conscious. Vic didn’t seem to mind her words though. And the guys all seemed to already know who I was. The fact that he told his friends about me made me smile.

“Oh come on,” Maggie laughed. “I’m not stupid. I heard you guys fucking on the balcony a while back.”

Mike gave Vic an approving grin.

“I just had no idea you would be banging the lead singer of my favorite band,” Maggie chuckled nervously.

I gave her a guilty smile and Vic took a step forward to shake her hand. “Vic,” he said with a smile. “I’ve heard a lot about you, Maggie.”

Her eyes lit up in wonder as she shook his hand. She stared over every feature of his and smiled widely. She looked star-struck. I looked at Vic who seemed genuinely happy to hear that Maggie was a fan. I liked seeing this side of Vic. The real Vic.

His free hand reached down and gave my hand a squeeze. He laced our fingers together and my heart couldn’t help but race.

“Are you guys going to stay and hang?” Mike asked as he walked over to the alcohol. “We’ve got plenty of drinks, and the rest of the guys should be coming over soon.”

“Rest of the guys?” I asked.

“The other bands,” Jaime clarified.

“Oh my god,” Maggie nearly squealed. “You’re so lucky, Theria. You have to tell me all about it.”

“You guys aren’t staying?” Mike pouted a bit and looked down at the mixed drinks he had already started for them.

“Oh, I didn’t know we could…I thought…”

“Of course you can stay!” Vic exclaimed. “It’ll be fun! We’ll take you home after and everything.”

“But my car…” Jacob said slowly.

“Don’t worry about it, I’ll take you back here tomorrow to pick it up,” Vic said with a charming smile. I couldn’t help but notice how sweet he was. That Vic I did know. The considerate, charming, Vic.

The party was amazing and everybody apparently knew who I was. Even all of the members of the other bands. I sat in the back with a very drunk Jack Barakat, who I had learned was in the band called All Time Low. He was quite entertaining, especially once drunk. His skunk hair was slightly disheveled and his t-shirt said ‘Boner’ is big, red letters. Everything about him was intriguing and hilarious. Everyone on this bus that I had spoken to was intriguing, really. I especially enjoyed the company of the British band, You Me at Six. Everyone made us talk together because we all had accents.

“You know,” Jack slurred as he draped an arm around my shoulders. “Vic loves you, El.”

I smiled at the nickname that Jack had decided to give me. He said it earlier on and it just kind of stuck. Especially since Eleftheria was quite a mouthful, especially for a group of drunken musicians.

“Okay, Jack,” I said with a laugh. I took a sip of my beer and shook my head. I looked up and saw Vic looking at me from the other side of the bus. He was talking to some guys who had their backs turned toward me, but Vic’s eyes were looking straight past them and into my own.

“Seeeeee,” Jack said as he pointed at Vic. “I heard he hasn’t had a girlfriend in years.”

“I’m not his girlfriend,” I replied with a smirk.

Vic smiled and mouthed hi. I blushed and looked down as I took another drink.

“You love him, too!” Jack said. “I know love when I see it. Just ask Rian. Rian! Rian! Tell her.”

“What?” Rian asked as he came over to us.

“I know love when I see it,” Jack said with a nod.

Rian laughed. “It is true,” Rian said. “Back before my girlfriend and I got together, we were touring together and Jack called it, even while I was in a relationship with another girl. After I broke up with that girl, it was all about Cass. And now three years later and I love her to death.”

“See, I told you,” Jack said as he nudged my shoulders. “Go to your future, El. Go to him!”

“You’re so dramatic,” I laughed as I stood up.

“Yeah, I get that a lot,” he laughed and winked before standing up on the couch and screaming to the people in the back. I didn’t listen to what he said. I made my way straight over to Vic, our eyes locked and smiles on our faces.

I walked right up to him and he dismissed himself from the conversation to grab me and pull me into a kiss. He held me in his arms and continued to kiss me until we couldn’t breathe.

We pulled apart but kept our faces close.

“Eleftheria…” he said softly.

“Vic,” I replied with a smile.

“I…I think I could fall in love with you.”
