Sequel: Close Yet Far ›
Anything but Ordinary
Waking Up
(Aimee's POV)
Within twenty-four hours of promising to behave, Heather had managed to get our entire group banned from AMCE, get arrested, and cause the rest of us to go out on a wild night of drinking. After realizing that we could no longer go to the closest grocery store because Heather had decided to make a watermelon fly through the glass window, drinking was defiantly in order. We had started the night at John and Peters, but because Matty J was playing a show that wasn't CKY Chad demanded we go to West Chester. Least that's what slurred out of his mouth. Mean Matty was only the keyboardist who had been filling in for Matt Deis since the man disappeared after the Hellview show.
The night had gotten so wild, that half of it was an absolute blur. The blankets pulled closer to my face and I couldn't help but think about how they smelled different. But then again, after drinking, smells didn't always work right.
Then the bed shifted as someone moved next to me. The odd thing was that my bed at Bam's was only a full size and I would have known if someone else was sharing it with me. Was I losing my mind? Only a loud bang caused my eyes to jerk open, and when they did I realized there was a problem.
I wasn't in my room.
“What the hell was that?” the rugged male voice next to me sent shivers down my spine. Obviously that dream I had the previous night wasn't quite a dream. More shifting on the bed proceeded a heavily tattooed arm falling across my side and held me against his naked frame. “I just want sleep.” It was a half spoken statement from a half asleep man, but I knew who it was instantly.
Did he know it was me in his bed? How much did he remember? Wait … was it just a one night stand?
“You awake babe?” Bam's voice entered my head and I froze. Kisses caressed my shoulder and worked its way to my neck. “I believe this is how everything started last night.” Oh he was right!
“Think it started when you pretty much asked permission to kiss me right before you fell going up the stairs.” Speaking for the first time since waking up, I felt how bad my throat was.
Rolling over, while keeping the blanket up high enough to cover me, I placed my head back down. “I don't want to act like there's nothing between us Aimee.” Biting my bottom lip, I curled deeper into his arms “I just want you to be my girl.”
“I want you to be my girl too.” I barely managed between giggles. As if to seal the deal, Bam lowered his lips towards mine when the bedroom doors swung open. “HEATHER!”
Seeing Jess standing there instead I was surprised. “NOPE!” he lowered his younger daughter Scarlett to the floor next to Ava. “Attack!”
At once the blond girls ran to the bed only to have their uncle tell them there were cookies downstairs. That caused them to run in the opposite direction, and Jess to glance in the kitchen's direction as if deciding his priorities.
“You asses forgot you had to pick someone up from Finland, huh?”
On the living room sofa, same spot as where Jyrki had sat just days prior, Mr. Ville Valo stared at his friend with a smirk. “So I finally get to meet the girl you won't shut up about?”
“You too?” Jess asked when Ville passed him his cell. “Don't worry they are officially together.” receiving a wink from my new boyfriend's brother, I stared at him. “What?”
“Nothing, just wondering how many cookies I can stuff into the little ones before you leave.” Motioning like I had the physical ability to stand up, I saw Jess flinch. “That's what I thought.”
Getting up to get his daughter a new glass of milk, I watch Mr. Mom stand and walk into the perfect position to throw a pillow at him. “So, I have to get going anyways to set up at TLA.” Ville stood next to Jess and I felt surrounded by tall people.
“We are going right?!” I shot out once I realized what TLA was. “You can get both me and Kay in?”
Chuckles escaped him until he looked at my face. “You seriously had to ask? You can bring whoever you want.”
Pulling my cellphone out of my sweatpant pocket, I snagged a picture of Ville and sent it to Kay. The only instructions were to get to the house quickly and get a hold of Heather. Mean I did owe her after what I did with the 69 Eyes!
