In the Eyes of Strangers

Unwanted

The next morning, I woke up extremely early; that was what happened when you’re used to living in an area nine hours ahead. I tried to fall back asleep, but of course it didn’t work so I reached over and grabbed the remote off the bedside table, turning on the telly. I kept the volume down low, so I wouldn’t wake Johnny up, he never was a morning person but allowed me to cuddle up with him until he turned into a normal human being, but soon grew bored. I glanced at him and debated whether or not I should wake him.

Around eight, he began to stir. “How long’ve you been up?” he mumbled, not opening his eyes.

“Since three AM.” I replied, earning a wince from him. “I’m still on London time.”

“So you’ll be asleep by midnight.” he chuckled. Although he had yet to open his eyes, I nodded.

“I’m bored love.”

“I’d entertain you, but I’m trying to get as much visitation as Asia will let me have before we leave.” a dull ache spread through my chest at the sound of her name; he opened his eyes and looked up at me. “I’m sorry, but…” I quickly cut him off.

“It’s fine, I understand.”

“I’m sure you have to help the girls anyway.” when I flinched, he reached up to caress my cheek. “Julia and Elena are nice, I promise.”

“It’s not them I’m worried about.” I muttered, looking away from him. He continued to caress my cheek while I thought about Charlotte; to say I was disappointed to find that she and Dylan were no longer together would have been an understatement. And even though he had a new girlfriend, I could tell from the way he looked at her when she wasn’t looking, that he still cared and I had a feeling she did too. Then throw in the fact that I left without a word to her, she was probably harbouring hard feelings toward me.

All of this made me uncomfortable that I was expected to spend the day helping her, Julia and Elena get ready for this upcoming tour. He sensed how I was feeling and stopped caressing my cheek before pulling me down on top of him, wrapping his arms tightly around me. “You’ll be fine,” he murmured into my hair. “And Julia and Elena will love you.” I couldn’t help but scoff; people had told me that their first impression of me was that I’d be an utter bitch, hard to get along with. “Just play nice.” he added as an afterthought.

“Thanks for the vote of confidence love.”

His perfect lips curved into his signature smirk. “No problem.”

I removed his arms from around me and sat up again. “Hopefully this won’t take all day.” he cocked his eyebrow. “We didn’t have the chance to shag last night…but then again, there’s always the shower.” he grinned again and pushed himself up, pecking me on the lips.

I laughed and got up then he followed me into the loo; he quickly pulled down my pajama bottoms and knickers before picking me up and setting me onto the counter then pulled my legs apart. He leaned down, pressing his lips against the sensitive skin of my thighs and caused me to squirm as his warm breath tickled it. I moaned out when I felt one of his long fingers slip between my slick folds then again when the second finger followed. His lips curved into a smirk as he began to pump them in and out of me, hitting my clit dead on.

Eventually, he pulled them out and licked them clean before leaning into to kiss me; I kissed back, despite the fact I could taste myself. I pushed him away then slid off the counter before kneeling in front of him. I pulled down his briefs and felt my lips curve into a smile when I was greeted by the size of his dick. I took it in my hand and began pumping it, earning a groan to escape from his lips. When it was semi-stiff, I stopped using my hand and leaned in. I pressed a soft kiss to his tip before taking the entire length into my mouth.

After a quick shag in the shower, we finished washing up then got out to get dressed before we drove back to the warehouse so he could get his truck and go back to Jorel’s house to change. It was nearly nine AM by the time I drove out to A&M/Octone to meet up with Charlotte, Julia and Elena and was the last to arrive; Charlotte gave me a knowing look before climbing back into her Impala while I just rolled my eyes. I followed the three of them out of the parking lot and toward the bus yard so we could see the guys’ new bus.

It took forever, but we finally found it and she punched in the code before we all climbed on. I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at the realization that it was just like the last bus of theirs I’d been on; video games up front, production area in the back. “Oh, I suggest getting earplugs.” Charlotte said to Julia and Elena as they picked out bunks for Jorel and Danny. “Shane’s not the quietest person.”

I rolled my eyes again. “Surely Julia’s louder than I am if Jorel’s still the same.”

She laughed. “Oh he is, but you still hold the title for being the loudest.” I merely shrugged and picked out Johnny’s bunk; the other two girls headed up front, I tried to follow, but she held me back. “Why did you leave?” she demanded. “And don’t say “I felt guilty for sleeping with him” when we both know it’s complete bullshit.” I sank onto Johnny’s newly claimed bunk and she sat across from me.

“I didn’t want to be the reason they broke up.” she arced her eyebrow at me. “Ok, I did but I decided not to be the reason.”

“He took it hard when he realized you weren’t coming back.”

“I know.”

“No Shane, you don’t know. He’s been drinking himself into a stupor every night since.”

“I figured as much when he said last night that he didn’t think he could survive if I did it again.” she nodded in agreement. “Why did you and Dylan break up?” instead of answering, she stood and walked back to the front of the bus. “Lovely talking to you!” I yelled after her. I waited for a bit before standing up and going back up front; I saw that the three of them had left and felt tears prickle behind my eyes. I blinked rapidly then stepped off the bus, shutting and locking the doors behind me. I walked through the bus yard, toward my SUV then climbed into it. I sat and debated a bit then shook the thought from my head and started the engine.
