Black Falcon 2 Rock my bed

I hang out with my best friend and my lover on the bus until it s ready to head to the next stop on
the tour. We eat Oreos and tell jokes until it starts getting late and the twins make their way back onto
the bus. This weekend was one of the best I ve had in a long time. I don t want it to end, but I know I
can t stay. I have a life, and a job waiting for me back in New York.
I rub my forehead as I take a look at my friend. I debate on telling her about Diana Swagger s
plans and how Isaac is working on the charity.
Something wrong? Zach asks.
I glance over at him and smile. No, everything is fine.
He wraps his arm around my shoulders as his eyes search my face. In the small amount of time
I ve spent with him he s shocked me. He s nothing like I expected. He s caring. It makes me wonder
why he hasn t settled down and what he s hiding.
Tyke glances out the window. Taxi s here.
He sighs and leans his forehead into my cheek. I guess I should walk you out.
I nod. I d like that.
I stand and then lean down and wrap my best friend in a hug. I ll see you soon. Love you.
She squeezes me tighter. Love you, too.
Zach grabs my bag and takes me by the hand as I tell the rest of the band goodbye. My feet are
heavy as I make my way down the steps. I hate goodbyes. I hate them even more when I m not sure if
I m ever going to see someone again.
The cab driver hops out of the car and takes my bag from Zach before popping open the truck.
Zach grabs both of my hands in his and we face each other. So& this is it?
I nod and fight back the sting in my eyes. Yeah. I think so.
He glances down at the pavement beneath our feet. Can I still message you since we re
friends?
A tear drips down my cheek as I smile. I d like that. Without thinking I throw my arms around
his neck and breathe in his scent one last time. I m going to miss you.
He stiffens in my arms and hugs me tighter against him. I ll miss you more.
Before I turn into a puddle right here on the ground, I shove myself away from him and hop in the
cab. I never imagined saying goodbye to him would be so difficult. I press my hand onto the glass as I
say goodbye.
My heart crushes as the driver pulls away, leaving Zach standing in the parking lot with his
hands shoved in his pockets. There s a pained expression on his face and I fight back the sob that s
threatening to expose how sad I am about leaving him. Our eyes lock, and we don t break out stare
until the cab turns the corner and he s out of my sight forever.
Chapter 11
RIFF
My fingers tangle and I hit the wrong chord as Noel and Lanie pass by hand in hand. She grins up
at him like he s perfect and he has the biggest smile on his face.
That shit isn t fucking fair. I want to out him so bad. Assholes like us don t deserve happiness.
Trip catches me staring as he twirls his drumstick in his fingers. He shakes his head. Don t do
it, dude. Nothing good will come out of you getting involved.
I m going to tell her.
Tyke looks up from his base. Tell who, what?
Trip looks at his brother. Riff wants to tell Lanie about Sophie.
Tyke frowns. I have to go with Trip on this one. Stay out of it.
You guys don t get it. I go back to working the strings on my guitar.
They don t understand what it feels like to want something you can t have. They ve never been
through real emotional pain. I don t want Lanie to go through that if she doesn t have to. Sure, it ll
hurt no matter when she finds out Noel s keeping a secret baby from her, but it ll hurt even more once
she s got a ton of time invested in this relationship.
Noel approaches us as we get ready for our set. Hey, guy. I ve got some news.
Oh, joy, I say, sarcasm thick in my voice.
He quickly cuts me a look before continuing. I got a call to visit a sick kid out in Arizona for a
charity.
That s awesome, bro. When do you leave? Tyke asks.
Tonight, right after the show.
My wheels start to turn. Is Lanie going with you?
Noel shakes his head. No. She s actually going to stay on the bus with you guys for the night.
Can I trust you all to look after her?
I roll my eyes. I know that little dig is a warning for me to stay away from her, but what he
doesn t know is I m not interested in her for that any more. It will, on the other hand, be the perfect
opportunity to share with her a certain secret our fearless leader has been keeping from her.
Trip snickers. You mean can you trust us not to try and sleep with her? Yeah. I think we re all
pretty clear she s your girl after all the times we ve heard her scream your name.
Noel grins. She does do that a lot.
I turn my back and try to block out the love fest over Noel s sex life going on behind me. That [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
