Sam's Town

cuarenta y cinco.

I walked out of my last and final physical therapy appointment with my right hand interlaced in Mike’s left. I was practically back to normal now. I was able to drive. I was able to go up stairs, slowly of course. I was able to work in my office instead of my apartment. I was able to get away from Mike when need be. And the best thing, my physical therapist encouraged me to stay active but to take it easy while doing so. So I was able to walk Diablo and go back to the gym. Probably by the time Mike would be getting back from tour, I would be able to go on hikes with him again, which was something I honestly really missed. We used to go for hikes all the time and it was just our zen down time. Sometimes we wouldn’t even talk when we reached the location we were heading to. We’d just sit there and watch the sunset, or even sometimes the sunrise. I couldn’t wait to be able to do that again.

Everything had gotten a lot better over the past couple weeks. I was officially done taring my apartment apart, and he was officially done acting like a father figure. We were back to a happy couple, having sex frequently, and also having our time away from each other. It really seemed as if the world was falling back into place… well… in every section except one… my friendship with Victor Vincent Fuentes was still practically non-existent. I was over it at this point. I was no longer worried about being in Mike’s house when Vic was around. If Vic wanted to act like a child over a mistake, then he could. Sooner or later he would have to accept me because it was obvious that Mike and I were going to have a future together whether Vic liked it or not.

But there was also one more thing that I wanted to talk to Mike about now that everything was back to perfect. It was something that was eating me up, and since he had been so good to me and took care of me and showed me that he really does care for me, he had a right to know. I just needed to figure out how I was going to tell him.

“Earth to Rae,” Mike laughed and squeezed my bare thigh.

My cheeks heated up as my thoughts snapped back to the present. I was so wrapped up in my own thoughts that I hadn’t even slipped my sunglasses onto my eyes, and the sun was shining right into the windshield of the Escalade.

“I want to fill my tank before we get home,” he said while pulling into a gas station. “And I need cigarettes, do you need anything?”

I rested my small hand on top of his large one, then looked at him with a smile, “A diet Pepsi would be clutch since I know if I say cigarettes you won’t get them.”

“You just steal mine anyway, why would you need a pack of your own?” He laughed and leaned over, pecking my lips then getting out of the giant SUV.

I took my vision to out the passenger side window, looking at the busy streets of San Diego. I always kind of wondered what my life would’ve been like if I had moved somewhere else after college. I always kind of wanted to get out and away, which was funny because most people want to move to Cali, let alone San Diego. Part of me always wanted to go somewhere else, like New York City, and experience life there because to me San Diego was just my hometown where I grew up and went to high school . But here, at this moment, I was more than content with San Diego and those I went to high school with than I could ever be anywhere else.

I smiled thinking back to that lame quote that Vic and Jaime always used when I continued my bickering about Mike even after I graduated. “Most people meet the person they are going to marry by the age of sixteen”… Never did I think that person would be the stupid bleach-blonde twat that I only had to associate with because his brother was my best friend.

“What has got you all smiley?” Mike raised an eyebrow while starting up the engine.

“Just thinking about how much I hated you in high school,” I laughed and crossed my legs, ready for him to rest his hand on my thigh. “Funny how things work.”

“I kind of always thought we’d end up together,” he smiled and drove in the direction of my apartment. “Or at least I always knew that at some point in my life I’d get to bone you.”

I cringed as he laughed, “I remember for the longest time I used to always call like ten minutes before coming over just to make sure Vic would be the one answering the front door and not you.” My jaw fell as I remembered something from my senior year, “Do you remember when I came over that one day and you answered the door all pissed off over nothing and you were like it’s the bitch, and then slammed it in my face! You were such a prick.”

Mike let out a loud fit of laughter, then got silent, “I had every right to do that.”

“No you didn’t,” I scoffed.

“Do you not remember the night before?” Mike looked over at me as I shook my head. “Vic had thrown that huge party and you got so drunk to the point where you couldn’t even stand, and you couldn’t stay the night because our parents were going to be back at 7 AM.”

“Did you dream about this because I don’t remember it at all,” I looked at him confused. He stared at me dumbfounded and I rolled my eyes, “The light is green, dipshit.”

He laughed and sped off, noticing that there was a huge line of cars behind us. “Well, I was actually sober for once,”

“For once,” I repeated with a smirk.

“Let me finish,” he smacked my thigh lightly. “I was sober and I drove your drunk ass all the way home, carried you into your stupid three-story house, and helped you into bed. And you know what you did to repay me?”

“Enlighten me,” I laughed at his vivid descriptions as if it happened yesterday.

“Your stupid ass puked on my brand new Vans,” Mike wrinkled his nose. “Didn’t even get it on your fucking white carpet, just on my one-day-old Vans. I had every right to slam that door in your face.”

He cut off the engine as we pulled into his designated parking spot at my apartment complex. I got out of the car and followed him towards the main door, “I still think that was a dream. There is no way that high school Mike was ever a nice boy to me.”

“I didn’t have a choice. Vic forced me to take you home. I just wanted to leave you outside and let you find your own way,” he chuckled and turned around, scooping me up into his arms and carrying me up the steps.

My body didn’t touch any surface until we were in my apartment, with the door locked, and Mike threw me down onto the bed. He hopped off the bed and tore his shirt and jeans off of his body. I had no idea what the hell he was doing or getting ready to do.

I raised an eyebrow and took my sunglasses off, throwing them onto my bedside table. “What the hell are you doing?” I laughed as he walked over to his side of my bed.

“Going the fuck back to sleep,” he smiled and slipped under the covers. “No more waking up at seven to take you to physical therapy anymore.”

I rolled my eyes and got up, “I drove myself the two times before this so shut up you lazy fool.” I took off my shorts, kicked my flip flops off, and then took my bra off from underneath my t-shirt. I crawled back in bed and snuggled up next to him, “Mikey, can we talk before you doze off.”

He wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled my back into his chest, “What’s up, sugar?”

“First off, don’t call me that,” I laughed. “And second,” I pulled away from his arms and faced him, “I have something I kind of need to get off my chest.”

“I will call you whatever I pleased,” he beamed. “And okay, tell me. Don’t hold back.”

I bit my lip, “Jaime had never said anything to you in the past about Lex Brooks and I?” Mike shook his head and I shifted my feet under the covers, “Well, like we kind of had like this weird thing in high school and like we used to hook up…”

“Hold the fuck up,” Mike said with a grin. “You fucked around with a girl before? Why did you never say this? Oh my god, Rae.”

I looked at him astounded to the way he was reacting and pushed away,, “Can you let me be serious or are you going to continue to slip off in fantasy land today?” I shook my head as he licked over his lips. “You know how she came to visit while you were on tour…?”

“Why didn’t you video it!” He whined.

I raised an eyebrow, “You…”

He smiled, “I kind of figured once you told me you guys have had a past. It’s fine, babe. It’s no big deal… Just… If it ever happens again I want to be involved.”

I scoffed, “You are not putting your dick inside her.”

He rolled his eyes and pulled me so my chest laid against his, “Of course not, baby. My dick is yours and only yours. But I mean you could always give me head and I could like watch her eat you out or something.”

I shook my head with a smile and pecked his lips, “Nah. I really only like to share my body with you. Yeah, she and I hooked up, but it definitely didn’t compare to what you give me.”

“That’s my girl,” he smiled down at me and slipped his hand into the back of my shirt.

“Plus, I love you too much to ever think about being with anyone else in any type of way, let alone sexual. I just felt like I needed to let you know. You had a right to know,” I said while resting my right hand on his jaw, rubbing it lightly with my thumb. “Thank you for being a horny, understanding male.”

“Anything for my little freak in the sheets,” he smiled and kissed my forehead. “Now can we please take a nap?”

I had decided that I would be a nice person since I woke up before Mike did. It was almost noon, and I knew he would be waking up shortly because he had a few last things to take care of in the studio later on in the afternoon. Since I felt like being nice because he really was so understanding about the Lex situation, I had gotten started on making lunch. Since it was getting closer and closer to the summer season, more delicious and locally grown fruits and vegetables were being sold at local markets and I was totally taking advantage of the situation. And another great thing about this weather was that it was perfect grilling weather, and if anyone knew my man, they knew that he had a total soft side for grilled meat.

Right as I was placing his steak kabobs on his plate, he walked into the kitchen yawning and stretching his arms into the air. I laughed as I gave him a once over. He was in only purple boxer briefs, his beard was getting a little out of control, and his long black hair was a tangled mess.

“Please brush your hair before you step into my kitchen,” I pointed a skewer at him and laughed as he grunted and walked out.

I finished up with our lunch and put my chicken kabobs on my plate. Then grabbed us both beers from the fridge and put them on the island next to our plates. I sat down and waited for him to come back in before eating.

“Smells so good,” his voice sounded from behind me. I turned around to now find him in a pair of jeans and his hair tangle-free. He sat down next to me and sighed, “I have to shave my beard off before tour.”

I popped a grilled tomato in my mouth, “I’ll be sad to see it go, my Mexican Jesus.”

“Vic’s got to shave his stache off too,” Mike said in between shoving food in his mouth.

I laughed, “What stache? That boy has never grown facial hair and never will.”

“It’s the ugliest thing you’d ever see… I’ll try to get a picture of it today,” Mike laughed. “I told him you said I looked like a Mexican Jesus and he really choked on his water. He sees it too.”

I pulled the remainder of food off of the skewer I was working with, “I mean, it definitely isn’t a bad look on you. Gives you a little of that tall, dark and handsome feel. I think the only quality you got from your Dad is that you can grow facial hair.”

“I thought I was adopted when I was little because Vic and Jesse had jet black hair and tan skin and I was blonde and pale. And then when I turned like seven I was already like three inches taller than Vic. My mom used to tell me that they got me and another kid mixed up at the zoo and I didn’t belong to her,” Mike chuckled. “I would cry for hours whenever she told me that.”

I laughed, “I had no idea you were Vic’s brother for like half of freshman year in high school because Vic used to always come to my house. And then I heard your last name and I was like wait what. But like now I kind of see a resemblance.”

“I’m the ugly duckling of the family,” Mike grinned.

I rolled my eyes, “I think you’re the cutest duckling in the bunch.”

“Because you have a weird infatuation with guys at least a foot taller than you,” he nudged me with his elbow. “Short stuff. You’re the shortest girl I’ve ever been with. I think I like it better than tall girls. I wouldn’t be able to carry a tall girl around like a baby monkey.”

“You did not just compare me to a baby monkey,” I scoffed.

“You’re my baby monkey,” he grinned and grabbed my left cheek with his fingers, pinching it. “Like a capuchin.”

“Go fuck yourself,” I grumbled and tried to pull my face from his hand, wincing when he held onto my skin tighter. “You’re still an abusive piece of shit. Get off of me.”

Mike let go of my cheek and then lightly smacked it, laughing to himself while I gave him a dirty look. “So are you going to come with me to our last official meeting before tour or are you going to be a lonely little capuchin over here?”

“I swear to god, Mike. Call me a capuchin again and I will stab you with my fork,” I said with a mouth full of food, picking up my fork and poking his arm lightly. “I’ll come with you if you get me ice cream on the way.”

“Really?” He questioned, flatly.

“Really,” I answered.

Notes

Yes, I know. It's been forever and a year since I updated.
Officially done with this semester so I can update.

Not sure when the next will be - but hopefully within the next week.
But you all know what that means when I say that... could be like 3 days or 3 months.

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by this story from the beginning and put up with my shitty updates.
Sadly, this story only has a few chapters left. It's coming to an end and there will probably not be a sequel (maybe there will... but probably not... no promises because I can't keep them).

I love you all, and can't wait for your feedback.
See you at the next update <3 xoxo
