it’s a good excuse to cuddle up extra close and hold onto something…”
I threw one of my pillows across the room at him, hitting his side as he attempted to dodge it. “You have a dirty mind, Cale Pelton,” I shouted, and he ignored my comment as he bounced back onto the bed.
“I know.” He winked.
Of course he knew.
Chapter 6: Live A Little
Cale
“I told her to live a little
We only have tonight
I’ll have you on your knees in no time
Just have to let it go”
Ever since the day after the photo shoot, I had sworn to the guys that I would be done with the pills. I told them I flushed the remainder of what I had down the toilet, but I tucked them away in my bag for the tour bus just in case I ever had chest pains. It was easier said than done. This tour was going to be a clean start for me.
But after I planned my apology surprise for Bryn, nothing made me smile more than to see the look on her face when I walked into her loft playing “Iris.” I had a bunch of other songs in my head and couldn’t decide which one I wanted to play, but Luke suggested that since apparently a lot of girls think it’s a ‘mushy’ song. I didn’t care. I just wanted Bryn to know I was sorry for agreeing to that shoot with Kallie.
“Dammit, are they here yet?” Vince asked impatiently. We were awaiting Gina, Bethany and Bryn’s arrival to the warehouse. We were all meeting up there, since that’s where Hal had parked the bus.
I scratched the top of my head and shrugged. “They’re girls, dude. What do you expect?” I had seen Bryn go through a morning routine of using a hair straightener, blow dryer, eye shadow, mascara, and stuff I’d never even seen my sisters use. It was insane to me how badly a girl could rely on makeup. But Bryn promised me she’d tone it down this time and not spend so much time getting ready. She said that her mom use to have everything laying out for her and expected her to always leave the house wearing the nicest clothes and every inch of that face covered with something.
My personal opinion was fuck the makeup, but I’m just a guy…what the hell did I know?
“I texted Bryn and she said they were on their way though…” Raptor was starting to whine like a little girl so I kicked his shin and he landed in a snow bank in the parking lot. He laid there clutching his shin and letting out a string of cuss words. “Why’d you do that?”
“Chill out, that’s why. You’ll have plenty of time to eye boggle her poor friends the next few months, Raptor. Maybe even get some if you’re that lucky, but with how you sound like a preschooler with your whining…I doubt it.”
He knew I was only busting his chops, but Raptor got pissed easily. He shot a dark glare my way and managed to get up, brushing snow off of his body.
“Better watch your back, Pelton. I’ll be getting your ass this time around…” Raptor chuckled, patting me hard on the back before shoving me hard into the same bank he fell into. The cold snow hit my bare skin and I kept shouting, “Shit, shit, shit!” I was stupid for not wearing a winter coat or even something besides a flimsy t-shirt.
“Ohhh let the fun begin.” I stuck out the middle finger in his direction, and everyone started howling laughing. I glanced over to see a Hummer pull into the parking lot, and sure enough, there were the girls. I could hear cheesy pop music blaring on the speakers as Bethany got out of the passenger’s seat and shot us all a smile. I looked next to me as I got up and saw Raptor with his mouth open all the way to the ground; I swore I could see drool dribbling down his chin.
“Keep your dick in your pants.” I nudged his shoulder, snapping him out of whatever he was thinking.
“Shut the hell up. I was just admiring the view, boys,” he said so the girls couldn’t hear him. Bethany was the first to approach the rest of us, while Gina and Bryn were getting their luggage out of the back of the vehicle.
“Hey guys.
