I Hate This Flavor With a Passion.

"Mike! Be careful! Please don't break anything" I whined as he struggled to lift one of my heavier boxes from the floor in my living room.

The moving truck had arrived three days after the night I spent with the guys. I was going to just pay a company to set my things up inside for me, but the boys insisted they do it instead. I agreed, reluctantly. Everything was going alright util I heard a loud thud from upstairs. I ran to where the sound came from instantly.

"Oh no! Vic, are you ok?!" I reached my hand to Vic to help him stand up.

"Yea, I just fell trying to put this fan in." He flipped the hole in the ceiling off with his middle finger and went to grab the fan pieces from the floor.

"Hey, it's not the fans fault your clumsy" I laughed and walked into my room, leaving Vic to Finnish installing the last of the fans.

When I walked through the door tony and Jamie where just finishing setting up my bed. It was only a queen, and it sat with the head of the bed against the wall with enough space for A small end table on each side of it.

"Thank you guys! I would have never been able to move that by myself" I blushed as tony gave me his attention, his eyes following my every movement.. Like I were his prey.

"It was no problem Chica! What else do you need help with ?" Jamie came running to my side and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. I could see Tony's eyes squint in jealousy as Jamie lead me back downstairs. Tony followed us slowly. Was he jealous?

"We'll since mike finished moving all the boxes I needed up here and set up my kitchen table for me, thank you. I just need help setting up the living room, if you guys don't mind?" Mike nodded at my 'thank you' as I spoke but then he gave me a faked shocked expression along with Jamie when I asked for help in the living room.

"Of course we will help you! Lets goooooo!" Jamie marched excitedly into the living room, I rolled my eyes at how childish and hyper he always seems to act. He always seemed to break the ice so easily, he had a good way of cheering anyone up instantly and that's truly a gift. So I ignored some of his wilder outbursts.

Mike and Jamie had set up my massive shelved tv stand that went a little over halfway up the wall. It had ten shelves on each side going up the wall and a place in the center for my tv, which the boys happily set up for me. We put my massive couch directly across from it against the windows at the front of the house, my couch wrapped from the wall near the front door all the way down the side of the wall across from the kitchen. It was a couch made to fit up to twelve people. It was black and made of a furry soft material, it was almost more comfy than my bed. We dragged the two recliners I had as well and placed them to the right of the couch, they we black and made of the same material as the couch, they could lean back and their bottom cushion turned into a footrest when you pulled the leavers.

"I think that's all the help I need guys! I can decorate by myself, thank you so much for everything!" I smiled as all the guys plopped themselves down in the living room. Mike and Jamie were each in a recliner, Vic was laying in the corner of the couch right where the couch turns into a half circle, the best part of the couch, and tony was leaning against the armrest of the couch near the front door.

"We were more than happy to help!" Tony gave me a beautiful smile, I caught myself looking a little to long at his lips. I tore my eyes away to see mike staring at me with a goofy grin on his face. I shot him a small glare without any one else noticing.

"Well as a thank you I'm getting everyone pizza, and if you all like your more than welcome to stay here tonight?" They all nodded and said 'hell yea'

"What kind of pizza would you all like?" Everyone shrugged and looked at one another.

"I know, how about a cheese pizza, a veggie lovers and a meat lovers?" Tony spoke up and everyone nodded in agreement.

"Awesome! Ill call in the order and go pick it up right now" I smiled and took out my cell phone. They said our order would be ready in thirty minutes and it gave me enough time to stop at the ABC store and get some ciggs.

"Hey guys I'm gonna go pick up some Cigs and stuff before I get the pizza so I'm gonna head out now." I grabbed my keys and pulled a black hoodie on over my orange tank top.

"Ill go with you" tony said getting up from his spot on the couch. I nodded quickly and pulled my hood up to hide my blushing cheeks from him.

"Bye guys don't break anything! Well be back soon" I opened the door and walked outside, tony trailed behind me as I got to the car.

"So what was the point of putting on your hoodie? Your wearing the shortest pair of jean shorts I've ever seen" Tony laughed while opening the passenger door and sitting inside. My mouth hung open slightly realizing tony has been checking me out as we walked to the car. Why didn't that bother me?

"Checking me out huh? Mr. Perry?" I raised my eyebrows at him, he just gave me a smug smile. Usually his cheeks flush slightly whenever I tease him, but not this time.

"I guess you caught me" he laughed and looked straight out the windshield. I pulled into the ABC store and tony gave me a confused look.

"What?" I shrugged my shoulders and started to open my door. Tony did the same and followed me into the brick building.

"Didn't know we were getting drunk tonight" he stopped in front of some skull shaped vodka bottles and rolled his eyes at how overly priced they were.

"I wanted it to be a surprise" I smiled while I grabbed three bottles of jack Daniels and placed them on the check out counter. Tony looked sort of shocked at my choice.

"You just keep getting better and better don't you?" Tony whispered, I don't know if he meant to say that outloud or not, or if I was supposed to hear it, but I had and I blushed wildly.

I paid the woman as tony took the bags of jack to the car. I watched him struggle with the trunk through the stores window. He looked adorable trying not to drop any of the booze and get it into the car as quickly as possible.

"Need help?" I giggled as he finally got the trunk open.

"I got this" he laughed and placed the bags gently in the trunk. Then he slammed the trunk shut and flipped it off. His face was flushed slightly from the struggle and I couldn't help but giggle at how cute he looked when he whined about it as we stopped to get cigarettes. I grabbed mike a pack as well as myself.

"Why do you do that ?" Tony asked and pointed at my pack of cigarettes.

"Honestly? I only get back into it when I'm stressed. I've quit like six times. This move was crazy so I picked them up again. Why?" I shrugged at his question. I don't care if people disapprove of what I do, even if it was tony, his opinion didn't phase me either way.

"I was just curious. I want to know more about you Addie" Tony shrugged in return at first,but then I felt a jolt of electricity run through me, that's when I realized tony had set his hand on my thigh and was rubbing it gently with his thumb.

"Oh, uh, we'll let's get the pizza t-then shall we ?" I fidgeted nervously and I noticed tony blush when I stuttered.

"Don't be so nervous Addie, I would never hurt you" his fingertips grazed my bare skin, sending shivers up and down my spine. I loved how his rough hands had a gentleness to them even with all the callouses I could feel. He noticed my body tense under his touch and stopped, but we had luckily just pulled up to the pizza place so I got out of the car immediately.

"Order for Addie Thatcher?" I questioned the man behind the counter. He smiled and handed me three massive pizza boxes.

Tony instantly grabbed them for me as I handed the man enough money to cover them. As we walked back to the car Tony's hand grazed my own, I moved it away nervously, I blushed at how stupid that was.

"So what's your middle name Mrs. Thatcher ?" Tony broke our awkward silence as we drove back to the house. At least it felt awkward to me, he seemed too confident and happy, obviously he found the silence comforting.

"Promise not to laugh?" He instantly held up his pinky to me.

"I pinky promise" he smiled as I linked my pinky with his.

"Okay... It's Riley, Addison Riley Thatcher" he covered his mouth trying not to laugh. I hit his arm playfully.

"ART? Your initials are 'Art' ! And your an artist? That's fucking adorable!" He rubbed his face with his hands and gave me a huge toothy smile.

"Yea, I don't know if my parents even noticed they had done that when they named me" I laughed and parked in the driveway.

"We'll I think it's cute" tony set his hand on my shoulder and gave me a gentle reassuring squeeze before he got out of the car.

"So on a scale of one to ten how destroyed do you think my living room is?" Tony laughed and placed his hand on the doorknob.

"Ten" he smiled widely and opened the door.

He was right. The boys had two of my boxes labeled 'DVDs' opened on the floor with DVDs scattered everywhere along with some of my books.

"What are you all doing?" I laughed and sat next to mike who was going through all my movies one by one.

"Trying to find a movie to watch, but you have SO many!" He whined, I patted his back and handed him a fresh pack of cigs.

"Oh my god thank you! I was almost out!" He gave me a side hug and started packing his cigarettes on his wrist.

"I have another surprise for you all." I gestured to tony who held up the three bottles with a beyond goofy grin. For some reason that goofy smile made me want to be all over him.

"Holy shit! It's whiskey time!" Vic shouted and ran for the kitchen to make drinks.

"Help yourselves guys! Pizzas on the counter, I'm gonna have a cig before I eat" I got up off the living room floor, mike followed me on the porch and we both lit the cigs between our lips at the same time.

"So, tony huh?" Mike gave me a knowing smile and released the smoke from his lungs.

"What? No..." I looked up too the starry sky and took a long drag.

"Addie, you get so nervous when he gives you ANY sort if attention. It's kind of cute actually. Turtles a great guy" mike took another drag and wrapped his arm around me.

"Turtle?" I questioned.

"That's Tony's nickname." He laughed as I laid my head into his side.

"It's cute a nickname." I blushed and continued to blow smoke out of my nose.

"We'll I think he likes you. You OBVIOUSLY like him" mike put his cig out on the railing.

"I barely know him mike..." I put mine out as well and he placed his hand on the small of my back.

"Well get to know him" he whispered as we got inside.

I shrugged off what mike had said and went to the kitchen and grabbed a few slices of cheese pizza. I really wanted a slice of veggie lovers but I knew it was Tony's favorite and I didn't want to eat it all my hand hovered over the veggie lovers and I felt someone's breath on my neck.

"Why don't you take a slice?" Tony whispered in my ear, I felt my heart race as his hand brushed mine to grab a slice.

"I didn't want to eat all the pizza I got for you" I blushed as he placed a piece on my plate.

"Don't be silly, you paid, have as much as you want." His lips grazed my ear before he walked away, leaving me stunned and breathless.

I poured myself a half glass of pure jack, no coke and made my way to the living room. They guys had just decided on a movie and were settling down to watch it. I glanced over at tony who was staring at me with a look I've never seen before. He patted the spot next to him, I couldn't help but feel a jolt of excitement as I accepted his offer to sit next to him.

What was this spell tony had over me ?
