Lips Like Morphine

Chapter thirty six

Part thirty six:

"Hey April, what are you doing here? " I asked surprised. "You forgot three sweaters at my house, just thought I’d drop them by, they’re washed.. " She said holding up a plastic back. I smiled. "Thanks, you’re an angel. The washing machine and me, don’t mix that well.. " I grinned and she laughed. "We’ll I’m off again. Phil is taking me out tonight.. " She said with a light blush on her cheeks. I smiled. "That’s nice April.. Have fun okay? " She nodded. "I know we will. You have fun here huh? " She said with a wink.. I raised my eyebrows and laughed. Did she know? She was out the door again before I could ask. I smiled and threw the bag on top of my other bags. "Now.. where was I? " I said smirking. I bounced up the stairs again like a little kid.

I couldn’t help it. I was drawn to Bam’s room pretty quick. I walked in and looked around. I laughed to myself, a typical boys room. There was shit everywhere. I walked towards his nightstand and opened the first drawer. *Jesus Christ, talk about easy access! At least he’s safe..* I didn’t know whether to take the drawer full of condoms as a good or a bad thing. Maybe there still were that many because he wasn’t getting any.. *snicker* But then again, I have no reason to laugh at him in that department.. not really active myself either.. I shrugged it off and went on to the second drawer. A collection of tabloids. I picked up a few and looked trough them. * Damn.. he’s been trough a some hell because of those bastards..*

Besides the first drawer, I didn’t really find anything out of the ordinary. I decided to watch a movie before I went to bed.

The next morning I woke up to a nice and quiet house. That really was weird. I got dressed and called April. "Hey April.. are you coming to pick me up? I don’t think it’s smart to drive yet.. " I said playing with my hair. I laid back on the bed and felt one of Bam’s cats jump on my stomach. I petted it while I talked to April. "Yeah, that’s fine. Did you make appointments at the beauty salon? " She asked. I nodded. "Yeah, mani-pedi cures, facial masks and a massage! They even did those.. I didn’t know that! " She laughed. "Neither did I! But I’ll pick you up in an hour or so.. I’m almost done here.. " I smiled. "That’s fine.. " She shrieked. "Oh god! I almost forgot the reason why we were even doing this! Happy birthday!! " I laughed. "Thanks April.. the big 2-3.. " She laughed with me. "Ah, you’re young.. don’t complain. Oh.. I have to go.. I’ll see you in an hour! Have fun! " She said before she hung up. I raised my eyebrows. Have fun? For as far as I know, we were going together.. I shrugged it off and put the cat back on the ground. It had made itself awfully comfortable on my stomach now. I hopped downstairs to make myself some breakfast. I was in the kitchen when I realised something. I blinked a few times and walked back into the living room. There was a pile of wrapped boxes with big bows on it. A huge card was in front of it, it had a bear on it. I smiled and opened it. ---- Friends don’t keep secrets from friends! You didn’t get out of your birthday you little brat! We’ll forgive you this time.. since it’s kinda our fault you broke you’re leg and you are pathetic..---- I rolled my eyes and continued reading, typical Bam. ---- It was kind of last minute.. but I hope you like it. We’ll see you when we get back! <3Bam

P.S. The little one is from Ville, greedy bastard.. ;)


I laughed and looked at the pile. Wow, that was quite a lot.. for how long had he known? I decided to start on the one that supposedly was from Ville. It was black with a red bow. Jesus, these guys are just to predictable. There was a note inside: Dear Miss Duquette, Thanks to Bam.. I got to share in your celebrations.. (though I doubt there are any.. since you wanted to keep it a SECRET!) Woman.. that’s not healthy.. Have our long conversations taught you nothing!? I hope you like it.. I think Bam will do though.. ;) I’ve taken the liberty of adding something personal.. Love, Ville

I raised an eyebrow and lifted the red silk tissue that was laid on top of it. I gasped. It was a gorgeous charm bracelet. There was just one charm on it. A heartagram one, of course. I rolled my eyes and smiled. There were a few loose charms too, that I could put on if I wanted. I made a mental note to call Ville when I was done. The next I opened had no note. It was a huge pile of new T-shirts. I smiled. They all had funny prints on them. My guess was that these were from Dico and Raab. They always wore these kinds of things. One though.. I knew for sure was Novak’s doing. It just said: PUSSY. I rolled my eyes and put them aside. The next had a expensive pair of sunglasses and a worn out looking blazer. Got Johnny to send this blazer to you.. Yes.. Johnny depp.. <3 Bam I shrieked and dropped the whole package. "He’s kidding right?.. " I inhaled deeply and decided to unpack the last two. That was a gorgeous necklace, that in a way.. matched the bracelet Ville gave me, but not quite.. it was hard to describe. I loved it though, that’s for sure. And the last box was full of Hawaiian clothing. Including the coconut bikini and the grass skirt. I laughed. "Dumbasses.. " But to tell you a secret.. I did try it on. They are surprisingly comfortable! But the guys do NOT need to know that.. I smiled and sat all the gifts aside. I decided I’d call Ville first. "Hei..? " He said tired. I put my hand in front of my mouth. "Oh, sorry Ville! I just found my gift and forgot the time difference! " I said with a grin tugging at the corners of my mouth. He chuckled sleepily. "That’s fine love, glad you like it. Happy birthday! " I smiled. "Thank you.. " He yawned loudly. "Why didn’t you just tell us? What is so bad about celebrating your birthday? " He asked confused. I shrugged. "I just don’t like being the centre of attention. Well.. and if Bam finds out there’s something special about you, even if it is your birthday.. he’ll make sure you’ll be put in the centre of attention. The VERY centre. Look at what happened at that housewarming party! " I said shuddering at only the memory. He laughed. "Okay.. that’s true.. but you like the gift I sent you? " I smiled widely. "I love it! Thank you so much! But.. I’ll let you sleep now.. " He chuckled. "Thank you love.. good night.. " "Night Ville! " I hung up and grinned. "Woops.. " I said laughing. Okay, Bam’s next. I don’t care if it’s night over there or not. I’m not doing math in my head to make sure he’s awake.. Math hurts your brain.. Math is evil.. I dialled his number and waited for him to pick up. "Jup.. " He said. He sounded awake.. that’s good. "You’re kidding right? You’re messing with me? That blazer..? " I said fastly. He laughed. "Nope.. that really was Johnny’s. Look it up, he wore it to the first POTC premiere! " I shrieked. "Thank you thank you thank you!!! For everything!" He laughed. "You’re welcome.. just remember.. you got away nicely.. just because we feel sorry for you, and we’re currently overseas. Otherwise, there would be such a party right now! " he said loudly. I could only imagine the hyper gestured that would be combined with his words right now. I smiled. "Thanks Bam.. all of you. I love all my gifts. The card was cute.. " He laughed. "That’s Ape’s work. My handwriting isn’t that neat. I just dictated what to write. " I slapped my forehead. "Doh.. should have known.. you are in no way, that organized and neat.. " He opened his mouth to protest, I heard him breath in. But nothing came, I smirked. "I’ll let that one slide too.. just because it’s you.. " He said softly. I smiled. "Aww.. I feel special! " I cooed. He chuckled. "Yeah you should.. So, what did Ville send you?" I raised an eyebrow. "You didn’t know? " He sighed, like he was talking to a little kid. "No dumbass, did you really think he’d have time to ship it here first, and then to the states? That gift went straight to April’s house. I just guessed it was a little one. He’s a jewellery man. " I laughed at his comment. "Well, you were right. He gave me a gorgeous charm bracelet. With a heartagram. " I smirked. "Ah! He didn’t even give me one! And I’m his lover! " He yelled displeased. I rolled my eyes. "Yeah Bam.. whatever.. " He laughed. "Well.. thanks again.. But I have to go, your mom is picking me up soon. We’re having a girls day. " I said smiling. "Ahh.. okay.. well, have fun then. " He said with a smile. I smirked. "We will, we’ll go pick up hot guys.. " I said with a short laugh. "She’s married! " He exclaimed. "So? I’m not.. she’ll help me pick out mine! " He huffed and didn’t answer. I raised an eyebrow but couldn’t suppress that fluttering feeling in my stomach. Wasn’t this the kind of reaction guys gave you when they liked you? I shook my head and laughed. "Kidding Bam Bam.. we’re just going to the salon and then shopping. I won’t be home married, and back for dinner.. happy? " I said biting my tongue a little. He laughed again.
