Teaser:
Luckily, my hair was still long enough to hide how my face obviously blushed and the tip of my tongue ran over my lips to let the taste of Gabe's kiss last a little longer.
Trying to push away Adam's assumption, as well as my fear about it possibly being true, I finally decided to slip through the half-open bus door, making my way outside to become a part of the welcoming scene. But, as it may have been expected, I didn't dare go much further than leaning back against said door, shooting glances at the man who’d managed to mess up my mind since the last time we saw each other in person.
Catching his gaze right now made me slightly nervous, knowing I shouldn’t be. Because after all he, didn't have a clue about me over thinking our friendship during the last two months that we hadn’t seen each other. Fingers cold and shaking a little bit, I brushed the hair out of my face and finally decided to move as Gabe's arms opened, requesting some kind of reaction from me; his eyes both scared and sorry, face twisted in worry. The sign I wanted that not hitting back at me wasn't something he had been doing on purpose.
I took careful barefooted steps over the grass that covered the distance between us, avoiding his eyes completely to keep my inner control over fears and doubts and eventual emotions, before I stopped right in front of him. I was finding it hard to ignore the fact that the others were, of course, watching, even though they pretended not to be. I leaned a little bit towards him, hoping he wouldn't hand me the burden to make the first step - and being the awesome friend he always has been, he pulled me into a hug that couldn't have been more intimate and relieving, all at once.
I pressed my face into the crook of his neck, trying to breathe in his smell and telling myself that there was nothing wrong with admiring the one person you trusted the most - in a non-relationship kind of way.
Running his hands up my spine, fiddling his fingers through my hair, he didn't bother to squeeze me a little more, and he kissed my temple with a softness that I wasn't used to coming from him. His lips moved over my skin, barely touching it, yet still leaving marks I would remember lying in my bunk this evening, suffering from insomnia over the thought that he was filling another one in another bus of a band that wasn't mine.
“Bilvy, I didn't mean to upset you,” he said, ghosting his fingertips over my neck and sending another shiver through my body. I shook my head, as if to tell him it was okay, “I'm sorry,” he added.
FLASHBACK
I stared at the bottle that pointed at me, actually also screaming at me to run from what Gabe was to do after he picked ‘dare’ in this stupid drunken game. Knowing he wouldn't have a problem with kissing someone in this room, not even Jon or Ryland or whoever, Sisky thought it would be the perfect turn to suggest a French kiss with the one the beer bottle would pick.
My older friend snapped his head to one side, facing me and seeing if I would avoid it. But I really wasn't willing to spread untrue rumors of maybe falling for him in case I skipped, so I just nodded and tilted my head closer to him, making it easier for him to reach my lips.
He was careful, almost tender and I had to force myself very hard to not melt into it completely when he cupped my cheek to get me a little closer. As soon as he started to suck on my tongue lightly, adding something close to passion into it, I broke away with half of my body shaking. This was clearly too much to take.
Luckily, my hair was still long enough to hide how my face obviously blushed and the tip of my tongue ran over my lips to let the taste of Gabe's kiss last a little longer.
Jumping a little as his presence interrupted my thoughts, I felt the older man leaning into me, searching for the shell of my ear before he whispered something that made me freeze,
“I'm sorry, Bilvy. I didn't mean for it to be like that...”
END OF FLASHBACK
Just half an hour later, after the Cobras had taken the time to get familiar with the rest of our band again and check the localities, it was time for me to catch up with sound check since the guys had already begun without me, leaving me time to have a quick shower.
I jumped onto the stage during the first verse of classifieds, cat walking to the mic-stand like I was doing an actual show. I grabbed the microphone, bringing it close to my lips, waiting for the chorus to kick in, letting the sun shine into my face. This would become a rough tour, and not only because of the weather.
