My HCR Fan Fiction! :D
~ Chapter 15 – The Way I Feel About You ~
~ The next day ~
~ My POV ~
I woke up next to a sleeping Jamie completely immersed in slumber. I untangled myself from him cautiously not wanting to disturb him and exited to the kitchen. I didn’t even notice both Mariah and Ryan sleeping on the couches until I had finished getting some cereal and went to sit down at the counter. I smiled and shook my head at the two of them sleeping with the exact same expressionless faces before sitting down to eat.
I didn’t have anything planned for today so once I finished my breakfast I went back to my room to sleep as much more of the day away with Jamie as I could.
~ Mariah’s POV ~
I woke up dazed and confused but mostly tired from last night’s long disputes with Ryan. That made me remember last night, us not agreeing on where we would each sleep and then my idea to sleep out here and then his kiss to me. I smiled to myself remembering it, our third kiss. What was this making us? I recalled my goal for the vacation; find out where I stand with Ryan. I wasn’t helping myself, but at the moment I was tired and didn’t care. I looked over at him and smiled before closing my eyes again and fading slowly back into a slumber.
* * *
Later that day ~ 9 am ~
~ Mariah’s POV ~
Ryan and I woke up together and got breakfast while Alexa and Jamie were still fast asleep together in her room. We somehow ended up snuggling on the couch together, flipping through channels and making small talk.
“My God I wish there was something on!” Ryan exclaimed.
“Awwh it’s okay. Besides we need to discuss this sleeping situation.” I reminded him.
“Well actually…” He stood up making me fall slightly before I caught myself because I had been leaning on him. “I have something I need to ask you first.” He put the remote down so he could extend his hand to me. I took it and stood up in front of him and looked up into his large, twinkling brown eyes. They seemed to be brighter and filled with more hope and cheer than normal.
“Uhh Heheh.” He scratched the back of his head, looking down at the floor sideways. “Mariah…” He looked me in the eyes. “Would you like to go out on a date with me?” He smiled sweetly like a little boy would when pleading for candy.
I smiled back at him and answered, “I was hoping you would ask!” I placed my hand around his neck and kissed him.
When we let go he breathed a little chuckle, looking me in the eyes he asked with a blush, “So uh, when do you want to go?”
I grinned and replied, “Now!”
“Now?”
“NOW!” I grinned even bigger.
He gained a grin himself to his face as it pulled at the corners of his mouth, unwilling to reduce itself. He then exclaimed, “Okay! Now!”
I ran around the couch saying, “Now!” like an idiot and he just laughed.
“I call the bathroom after you so you better hurry up!” I yelled after him as I ran into my room and slammed the door to pick out my outfit, my body jittering around in excitement.
Ryan watched me as I went into my room and when I closed the door he pumped his fist into the air and hissed ‘YES!’ under his breath with a teeth showing smile on his face before hurrying to the bathroom to get ready.
* * *
I was hurriedly trying to finish getting ready because Ryan was already done and waiting in the living room for me. You know how boys are; fast at everything.
When I finished I exited and entered the room to see Ryan looking so incredibly handsome in his black leather jacket, jeans and dark brown boots.
(Ryan’s Outfit: https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/113737605837529201156/albums/5716270051923229249/5778108924833824338 I know they are all there but yeah just focus on Ryan’s outfit! And I just have to point out Jamie’s hair flip! X3)
“Oh my God. Mariah you look astonishing!” Ryan exclaimed approaching me with and open mouth.
“You really think so?” I asked while fiddling around with my navy blue dress.
(Mariah’s Outfit: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=57395883 :3 )
“Yes! My gosh, you look so cute and I must say that the mustache necklace is turning me on!” He smirked at me and I laughed at his comment.
“Thank you! But I think that you are the one that really looks striking!” I told him ruffling his curly hair. (Yeah note that this was back when he had curly hair same with Jamie and his long hair…probably should have mentioned that a long time ago.)
“Hahaha, thank you! Well since we both look dashing, why don’t we go and head on out now and show each other off. Shall we?” He extended his arm gesturing to the door and I nodded with a smile and followed him. He opened it for me and said, “After you!”
“Why thank you! What a gentleman!” I proclaimed exiting the room and Ryan followed, closing the door quietly behind us. Even though it was getting near 11 am Alexa and Jamie still hadn’t awoken.
* * *
We drove down to Taco Bell to get lunch so we stationed in the parking lot and just sat in the car eating, talking, and laughing. Then we went to Starbucks to get a coffee.
“Here you are!” Ryan said handing me my coffee as we sat down at one of the miniature outside tables.
“Mmm! Thank you!” I told him, taking a sip from the white container and feeling the scorching drink cautiously reach my lips. No one was here except for us which was nice because then we could talk about anything at all!
“Ahh, you’re welcome!” He breathed leaning back in his chair. I licked my stirring stick after pulling it out of my perfectly swirled mixture of different shaded tan caffeine. He pulled his cup away from his lips a little too slowly, watching me with a slightly pouty smirk brewing on his face.
“What?” I asked taking a break from licking my stirrer.
He just puffed out a small scoff and went back to his drink but I kept eyeing him, “What?” I asked again, more anxious.
“Oh no no, nothing.” He said waving a hand and shifting his eyes up at me without moving his head. I eyed him again but with small slits, looking him up and down. He kept a steady smirk trying not to laugh.
“Hmph, you’re weird…but I like it.” I told him, finishing with a smile. “And you’re so cute with your adorable smirk and…stuff.” I looked down and stirred my drink mindlessly even though it was completely melded together already.
“Well why thank you!” He said, his smirk like grin reappearing.
“You’re doing it again!” I shouted at him, gesturing to his face.
“Doing what?! Oh yeah… Hahaha!” He laughed.
I laughed a little too looking down at my beverage.
“Awwh come on, you know you love me!”
“Uhh, didn’t I just imply that?” I asked, my eyes maneuvering over the beautiful, lush scenery, covered in sunshine and chilled breezes. It never snows here in Arizona and that always bums you out but at least there’s no worry for traffic and hail storms preventing you from seeing your loved ones. “Or was that too hard for you to understand?” I asked pouting at him and making a childish mommy voice.
He just looked away laughing, “No it wasn’t. Not as hard as you understanding that the Lakers are amazing!”
“OH MY GOD! For the last time I LOVE THE LAKERS!!! And you know it! …See your doing that smirk again, you do know it!” I shouted at him from across the small, circular tin table, my arms flailing about around me.
He just laughed at me as I continued to tell him about how I had watched all of their home games, plus if he had seen my Facebook posts from back in June and July, that I was posting about them for like a week in their tournament! Finally he gave up and went to the car just to get his Lakers hat and came back and plopped it down on my head. I straightened it forward as he complimented me on how good it looked on me making me blush red.
We continued to talk and laugh at each other as we sipped our coffee in the brisk, freezing winter weather but loving every minute of it.
* * *
~ My POV ~
It was around 11:20pm when I woke up; Jamie had been the one to wake me. We had been out for an extremely long time and we were surprised at how late we slept in but also realized how tired we were from the past couple weeks and that must have been our recharging hours.
It was reaching 3:00pm now and I was on the phone trying to call Mariah but she wouldn’t answer. When we woke, neither her nor Ryan was home and we figured they went out for a little but they haven’t returned since and I just wanted to make sure they were okay because I worry about them.
I was pacing back and forth in the living room with my pajamas pants lazily draping around my hips and legs. For the third time she hadn’t answered and I had already tried Ryan twice as well. I just hoped they were together somewhere and that if they needed help they would get it. It wasn’t like them (or Mariah anyway) to just run out without leaving a note or calling later, especially not answering!
Jamie came up from behind me to stop my pacing and wrap his arms around my waist, place his chin on my shoulder and sway me back and forth.
“Honey, I think you’re making a draft.” He told me jokingly.
“Ugh I’m sorry!” I told him taking my nail out of my mouth and turning around to face him, taking his hands. “I just wish I knew where they were, I mean I’m sure they’re just fine but I love them both and it’s not like nothing bad couldn’t have happened!”
“I know love.” He reassured me with a kiss on my forehead. He would nickname me at times, either sweetheart, honey, Abear, or go British and say love, but never babe and that was one of the things I loved about him. “I get it. I’m worried about Ryan deathly and it’s making me really think a lot about how he felt when I fell unconscious and I can’t imagine what was going through his mind. He cares a lot about me, me being his little brother and all, I’m protective of him too but since he is the older one it must be more severe feelings that hit him…I can’t imagine.”
“He wasn’t the only one dying right there. Waiting for you to wake up and be okay.” I looked up at him with sorrow swirling in my eyes and he looked into them and like finding my true feelings in my soul, he curled around me and rested his head on mine. I squeezed his body as tight as I possibly could and allowed a few tears slip their way out of my eyelids.
Jamie; feeling the tears soak through his shirt, rubbed my back up and down with little squeezing grips as he kissed my head and whispered into my hair, “You’ll never get anywhere near that feeling again…I’m not going anywhere, I promise”
* * *
~ Mariah’s POV ~
Ryan and I were hand in hand laughing while running through West Gate, the biggest outdoor mall in Phoenix right next to the Cardinal’s stadium.
“OKAY OKAY WAIT!!!” I yelled at him, stopping and panting for breath. “Wow! I mean I’m the best runner I know but I didn’t expect you to be so good at it too!”
“Hey I mean I’ve got to handle being under all those hot lights while dancing around on stage, plus I’m singing so I’m already wasting my breath!”
“Ahh…hah…touché!” I said pointing my finger up to the sky. I then stood straight and said, “Come with me.” with a smile on my face. I took his hand again and lead him out to the parking lot and then cut through the gravel over to the parking lot of the Stadium. I looked back at him and smiled as he pulled up a half smile and I took that as a yes to run again.
We stopped when we were directly in front of the Stadium. I put my hands behind my back, clasping them together as I turned side to side slightly, gazing up at the tall metal building. I turned to Ryan as he gazed in awe with his mouth open, scanning the covering of the giant building.
“…So?” I asked.
“It’s so incredible! And you live by this all the time?” He asked turning to me, still in shock.
“Well I mean it takes about 45 minutes to get here but me and Alexa have been coming to this mall for a long time so technically yeah!” I answered turning back to the big Stadium. “…Now we can either go inside…or…”
“Uh lets go inside! This is so COOL!” He grinned with an open mouth. He sounded just like a young boy would when seeing this for the first time.
“Oh my God, honey, you think this is great wait till I take you to the hockey rink!” He instantly swerved his head to the right and widened his eyes at me and I nodded at him, my eyebrows jerking up a few times.
“You know where it is?!” His eyebrows raised.
“Yep! The Coyotes! Me and Alexa went there one time when the team was playing a game and they had cameras and everything and number 18; David Moss, smiled at Alexa when she waved at him and she fangirled out! It was so-“ but I couldn’t finish because he had already grabbed my hand again and was practically dragging me to the other parking lot that contained our car and I smiled at how fast he was forcing me and himself to run just to get there. If this was his reaction, I wondered what would be Jamie’s.
* * *
“Okay over this way!” I said, leading him in between two buildings. Ironically, the Coyote’s ice rink was also in an outdoor mall. I’m not a big fan of hockey, mostly soccer and basketball but for Ryan, I didn’t mind at all. We passed through the squished buildings and out into and opening. We came through the clearing to see fountains shooting to the skies on our left and right. Directly in front of us was a bridge and across it was the rink along with stores crammed next to it on either side.
“Whoa! OH God this is so cool!” I smiled at him, watching as he stepped slowly, grazing his eyes across every detail of the scenery, making sure not to miss a single inch of anything. I grinned when he jumped up onto one of the edges of the fountains. “Hey take a picture of me!” I pulled out my phone and positioned it straight to point at Ryan, his face turned to his left, serious and expressionless, and his hands in fists resting on his hips and his legs spread out only a foot apart. I waited until the fountains behind him lit up and fired water into the air to take the picture.
He jumped down to look at it and said, “Okay you have to send that to me, that’s going on Twitter!” I sent the picture to him and he quickly tweeted it and I got the notification as well. “Hey, you go up there, I’ll take one of you!”
“Okay!” I exclaimed and jumped up to where he was but I smiled looking into the camera with my hands together behind my back, leaning in forward.
“Got it! I’ll send it to you.” He told me looking down into his phone. “You know that was a really good picture! I’m gonna keep it and set it as my phone wallpaper!” He looked up at me and smiled and I smiled back.
“Wait!” I said quick, getting an idea. “Come up here!” He did as I asked and he hopped up next to me. “Let’s take a picture together and use that on both of our phones!”
“Oh, great idea!” He pointed his phone towards us and we took a picture of each other together with the sprouting fountains and the rink in the back ground. We were leaning our heads together and grinning, the happiness and pure joy of us being together beaming through our eyes.
After that we continued to take funny and serious pictures up on the short and stubby wall. Ryan also gave me a penny and we held it in our hands together and made a double wish before tossing it into the fountain. We ran around skipping on and off the short walls until Ryan almost slipped into the water! Then we strode up to the rink and gazed at it as the sun started to set, it was already 6:00pm. We were holding hands and my head was resting on his shoulder.
“You know…” Ryan started after we stood there in silence for a while. “Jamie is going to have to see this, you know that right?”
“OH don’t you worry!” I told him raising my head. “Alexa has that already planned out!” I smirked at him and he gave me a confused look. “Trust me, it’s a really cute idea, he’s gonna love it!” Before he could make another confused look or reply I laid my head back on his shoulder and looked up at the lit rink again.
“Mariah…”
“Yeah?”
He turned to face me and took my hands in his and looked straight into what seemed like my soul through my eyes but I didn’t look away or flinch because his brown orbs told me that he wasn’t a threat.
“I had an absolutely amazing time tonight!”
“I did too!” I told him my smile evolving into a grin.
“And uhm…” He looked down, scratching the back of his head, he often did that when he was nervous.
“Yeah…?”
“I thought that since we’ve kissed before and this date was amazing for the both of us,” he said looking around. “That maybe we-you would like to… be my girlfriend?”
I smiled once again and it showed in my eyes; my happiness, my pure joy.
“I’m afraid that I can only answer that one way…”
He gave me a long face but I just kept grinning.
“Yep only one way…” I watched out of the corner of my eye for the fountains to shoot up and as soon as they did I looked to Ryan and smiled once again before taking his face in my hands and crashing my lips onto his like waves that go in full force and hit hard but then slowly calm. He took it too angelically that I said yes and kissed me back, placing his hand gently onto my wrist.
We pulled away slowly with our eyes darting all over the points of our faces. Ryan had a grin stuck to his face and it stayed as I said, “We should go now huh?”
Ryan just shrugged, his brain not registering thoughts anymore. I stayed in place until he puckered his lips and went straight in again but I shrieked and let go before running away playfully, expecting him to chase me and he did.
“Hey! I never said I was releasing those lips from custody!” He shouted after me as he chased me back through the buildings.
I laughed out loud and shouted back, “Well I just broke out and I’m a bad girl so you better come and get me back!”
“You better bet I will!”
* * *
It was around 7:30pm by the time we got home and Ryan and I entered the apartment laughing but came to a halt when we turned to see Alexa and Jamie standing in front of us like they were our parents and we had been out way past curfew.
“Uhhh Heheh…” I breathed out cautiously like it would have been the signal to fire arrows.
Alexa uncrossed her arms and ran over to us, “Where were you guys!?”
“Uh, Weellll…” I began as her arms closed around my body. I looked over to Ryan who was being hugged by his baby brother.
“I mean I know I shouldn’t be babying you or anything because you’re a big girl and you can take care of yourself, but you’re still my sister and I love you! …Both of you.” Alexa told me backing up into Jamie’s arms.
“Awwh, Alexa I love you too! I’m sorry…” I apologized.
“It’s okay.” She smiled at me and I did the same. “But you know you guys have to tell us where you were…but by the way you’re dressed I have my suspicions.” I laughed a little as she looked us both up and down.
“…Ryan and I were on a date!” I grinned at her and Jamie open mouthed and I was glad to see Jamie smile back but then I caught Alexa’s eye.
“…Suspicions confirmed.” She said as a huge smile that forged into a grin consumed her lower face.
I stretched me lips and hugged her quick before returning to my place next to Ryan. I took his hand in mine before saying, “And we’re together now!!! AHHH!” I made a screech screaming noise along with Alexa as her eyes went wide and she jumped on me with a ginormous hug and we hopped around together as the boys chuckled at us.
“Oh my God, I am so happy for you guys!” She exclaimed again, going over to steal Ryan from Jamie in a hug around the shoulders.
“Haha thank you and I must say that it turns out you two were right; everything was going to be perfect between us!” Ryan said and then turned and smiled at me, I had been watching him already and beat him to a grin.
“I told you! I told her. I knew it!!!” Jamie shouted throughout the apartment with his arms flailing through the air.
I laughed at him along with Ryan and Alexa. I turned to Ryan after watching Alexa try to grab at Jamie’s arms but to no prevail; they were so cute together. I looked up at him and he looked down at me and smiled knowing that I was hoping we would be able to have a flourishing relationship too. And to reassure me he took my chin in the crease between his first finger and thumb and kissed me. I didn’t even notice the other two silence until we both pulled away smiling and turned back to face them. They were grinning at us and then to each other and Ryan and I couldn’t help but blush beet red.
* * *
~ My POV ~
“So since this has been a long day and I am completely tired out from your guy’s story of your date, I’m heading off to sleep!” I announced.
“Okay goodnight Alexa!” Mariah had such peppiness now and I knew it was all because of Ryan.
I smiled at her adorable face and saw her hand gripping Ryan’s tightly and that reminded me, “So does this mean that the sleeping thing will be put into a better place now?”
“Oh yeah! Well…” She started turning to Ryan. “I think I’m fine with you sleeping with me now because we’re together!” She smiled at him and he pecked her lips before responding.
“As long as you’re comfortable with it, then I am and always will be!” They smiled at each other.
Quick note! Sorry for interrupting but I wanted to apologize for over using the word ‘smile’ so much! Okay that is all, I Love You, sorry for interrupting again! Hope you’re enjoying! :)
“Okay well I think we’re going to hit the sack too. How bout it?” She asked Ryan.
“Mmmm! I like that idea!” He stood up and took her hand and pulled her into her room.
“Night guys! I love you!” Mariah yelled back giving me the strange since of déjà vu feeling from when Jamie had piggy backed me into my room, leaving her and Ryan out here.
I turned around to face Jamie and he started to rub my arms up and down as I spoke, “Well, I guess you can say I told you so now.”
“Awwh, Alexa!” He hugged me and then pulled away to say more, “I TOLD YOU SO! HAHAHA!”
“Hey!!!” I exclaimed, pushing him playfully on the arm. He spun around and into the living room still laughing and I followed him with a frown, trying to hit him.
“Hahaha! Hey hey hey!” He screeched as I smacked his arm a little too hard.
“OH my gosh Jamie I’m sorry! Did that really hurt?” I started to stroke his arm but then slowed as I caught something in his eye. Before I could respond to it he had me pinned down on the couch and was laughing as I tried to catch my breath.
“Haha did I scare you?” He asked but I didn’t answer just frowned and pushed him off me and walked around to the other side of the couch. “Alexa! NO wait, please I’m sorry!” He followed me but I just kept walking to my room and he still continued to follow. “Alexa wait!” He jogged the rest of the way to the open door of my room.
When he entered though, I was nowhere to be found. “Alexa?” I heard him call out to the seemingly empty room. I then jumped out and grabbed his wrists, turned him around and pinned him down onto the bed.
“Did I scare you?” I asked sarcastically.
“Yes you did!” His eyes still wide from shock.
“Well you don’t have to worry because I’ll always be here if you get scared!”
“Promise?” He asked smirking at me.
“Promise!” I agreed before brushing my cheeks against his, our lips in the center as I kissed him down into the bed.
My HCR Fan Fiction! :D
~ Chapter 14 – Christmas can’t be Christmas without You! ~
~ December 21rst, 2011 ~
It was the first day of Christmas break and Jamie and Ryan would soon be landing at the airport for me and Mariah to pick them up. They were going to spend Christmas with my family and I and stay until Jamie’s birthday and then Mariah and I would fly with them to Nashville and then to New York because they were going to be playing the Jingle Ball and Times Square on New Year’s Eve and they wanted us to come with them!!! XD
Mariah and I were making our way to the airport to see the boys; while she drove, we talked about everything we had planned for their stay. They were going to stay at our apartment with us while they were here.
We arrived around 4:00 pm when their flight was scheduled to land. We walked to the right side where people were coming in and we stood in the airport’s extra wide, dimly lit, corridors that are always a trait in every airport. As people passed by us, either hurriedly to another flight they were leaving for or to see people they flew in to meet or just casually walking by to go and get a cab to where ever else their new destination may be, me and Mariah talked for a little.
“Ooohhhh my gosh…!” She squealed through her teeth while frantically scanning left and right, and in every other possible direction for any sign of the brothers. “I am so nervous! …But oh my God you must be so excited to see Jamie though!”
“Yeah! I’m like dying on the inside right now, just waiting for when I spot him and I get that sudden rush of stinging panic but then I leave you and run to his side.” I was looking around as well while talking, trying to catch a glimpse of one of them but only caught Mariah’s expression. “Oh sorry! I didn’t mean it like that.”
“Hahaha, it’s okay I know. Besides I’ll probably run alongside you but to Ryan instead!” She gave me a little hint with a raised brow as if to tell me something was going on.
“Oh yeah, your guy’s kiss! So wait are you like… together now or…?” I was now completely focused on her; her petite little body slightly hopping with excitement but she was still only an inch shorter than me, 5, 6” I believe she is.
She turned her gaze onto me and answered, “Honestly… I don’t know where we stand right now. But I’m hoping both of them being here will help me find out!” She smiled at me with confidence that everything would conclude in a superlative way.
“Yeah it should! I mean I hope it does and you better find time for me so I can hear all about it!”
“Of course yeah!” She replied.
The next few parts are all four of our point of views so if you would like to skip to different ones so you can read them in the order you like that’s fine. :) This next part is my POV. Kay, hope you’re enjoying! :D
All the sudden I thought I had heard my name being faintly called and I swerved my head to the left to look around Mariah. In an instant I conspicuously saw Jamie and Ryan both waving and power walking over to us.
“Jamie!” I shouted and waved to them and started to sprint to him because it was a bit of a long distance still between us. I could feel that Mariah had started to pick up her pace not long after me.
I saw Ryan’s mouth create the word ‘go’ to Jamie and he didn’t even turn to face him, he let go of his suitcase, dropped his duffel bag and jacket he was carrying on his arm and ran to me. We dodged in between and around people and once we reached each other I jumped into his outstretched arms and enclosed mine around his neck and wrapped my legs around his waist. He easily held me up by my own waist and turned in a slow circle as we held onto each other laughing and whispering I missed you into each other’s ears. I tilted my head down and held his in my hands as I shoved my lips onto his perfectly softened ones that always form that flawless half open smile. I had been waiting to do that for a long time.
When we pulled away I pressed my forehead onto Jamie’s as we laughed a little more. He seemed like he wanted to say something but whatever it happened to be it made him cry harder than he already was. Luckily I knew what it was and responded, “I missed you too.” before kissing him one more time with a smile tugging at the corners of our mouths.
~ Jamie’s POV ~
I was only minutes away from seeing the most amazing girl, I had wanted to see her for a long time and I couldn’t wait until our bodies clashed together in hugs and kisses, my girlfriend Alexa. <3 I had my suitcase in one hand, duffel on my shoulder and jacket across my arm. I was fast walking with my older brother Ryan alongside me as we hurried to get to the end of the massively wide hallway that seemed to never end. I saw Alexa almost instantly; she was all the way at the other end of the corridor talking to Mariah.
“Alexa!” I shouted down the long way, my words darting in between people just hoping to reach her.
She heard me and I waved when she saw me, she waved back and started to run me. I smiled as her speed picked up and I couldn’t wait until she was able to touch me and I would get to feel her repetitive heartbeat. But then I heard Ryan speak from behind me; go he said and I didn’t even bother with turning to him or acknowledging it at all. I let go of my suitcase’s handle, dropped my duffel and jacket next to my suitcase and ran to her. I slalomed in between and through people trying to keep the straightest path I could, aiming toward her. Once there was only a minor distance between us, everyone seemed to disappear and there became a clear opening for us to finish our path and reach each other.
I scooped her up into my arms and held her tight as she grasped my waist with her legs and my neck with her arms. Luckily, I am a drummer so I have pretty good upper arm strength and I could keep her up even though she wasn’t big or small but the best size; the perfect size. She laughed and cried and I did too as I turned in a circle. We both tried to jumble out the words I missed you in the correct order and in an understandable language but it was hard while laughing. She took my face in her hands and kissed me hard and with passion and I couldn’t help but return it back, forcing her mouth open with my tongue.
When we pulled away, she giggled and I chuckled a little more as she pressed her forehead against mine, her hands never pulling away from my face. I wanted to say ‘I missed you so so much’ but I was starting to cry a bit so I couldn’t bring myself to pass the words through my lips. As if she read my mind she said, “I missed you too.” and kissed me again.
~ Mariah’s POV ~
I dodged through the moving people which I found to be obstacles, straight past Jamie and Alexa’s little reunion down the big corridor and to my boy, Ryan. He let go of his suit case handle and duffel bag just in time before I sprinted the last few feet so I could reach him fast enough. I grabbed his neck with my arms and he held my waist. I was so eager just to touch him, my feet were still a foot away from him but Ryan did the rest by pulling me into him to cover that last foot. :)
“Hahaha, well I see you missed me!” he chuckled.
“I did!” I spoke muffled making my words sound stifled because my face was dug in between his neck and shoulder.
“Well I missed you too…” He spoke with a fluent and delicate touch to the tone.
I pulled away and looked directly into his brown eyes that seemed to be crystalized in the lighting from the ceiling bulbs. My eyes shifting slightly left to right as they flinged between both of his and It didn’t take me long to decide I wanted to kiss this man I had been dying so much to see. I had both my hands on his neck and I went in fast but slowed at the last second to give the kiss a gentle and compassionate nature.
When I pulled away I stayed only inches apart from his face and whispered, “I hope that was okay…”
“It was fine the first time wasn’t it?” He grinned at me and gave me a slow peck on the lips before smiling once again and hugging me.
~ Ryan POV ~
I was trying to keep my pace up with Jamie’s as he sped down the hallway to see Alexa. I didn’t blame him, when he wasn’t asleep, listening to music, or reading he was talking to me about seeing her. Even when he was reading he was thinking about her because he never turned the page, and when he listened to music, whether it was their song or any song, he was thinking about her while staring out the plane window.
Jamie must have spotted the girls first because he called Alexa’s name and when he waved that was when I saw them. I smiled at my little brother as his hand moved frantically back and forth in the air above him. “Go.” I spoke and he didn’t hesitate. Right when the words passed my lips he dropped everything and raced to her and I watched as Alexa scrambled up onto him and they turned in circles hugging and laughing.
That was when I turned my attention to Mariah who had just flashed right by them and I realized she was running to me with a gargantuan smile on her face. I tried to rapidly drop my duffel bag and I did just in time to catch her as she kind of fell onto me. I pulled her in closer by the waist so she was as close as she could be to me. I really liked knowing she missed me this much.
“Hahaha, well I see you missed me!” I said into her ear.
“I did!” She exclaimed mildly smothered by her face dug into her arms and my neck.
She missed me. I had really missed her too. I thought.
“Well I missed you too…” I spoke softly as I closed my eyes and just held her.
She pulled away and looked me straight in the eyes and I loved that we both shared brown eyes. I smiled at her and before I knew it her lips had touched mine and I had once again had that feeling of her perfectly soothing, angel soft lips. When she pulled away it wasn’t very far from my face but I liked feeling her warm breath on my upper lip, especially when she spoke.
“I hope that was okay…” She asked unsure if her move on me was eligible.
“It was the first time wasn’t it?” I gave her a smile with a small hint of a smirk in it before giving her a peck on the lips in return and then continuing to hug her.

~ My POV ~
We drove back to the apartment after having a full reunion with all four of us and gathered the boy’s things. We arrived at the apartment around 6pm, it was already almost pitch black dark out and we were all extremely tired. I had been going through the past week and a half going to all my classes and having 10 hour day school schedules trying to finished projects and assignments, study for my half way mark finals, and finish some of my classes. The boys had been finishing up their last tour for the year and of course the flight here must have been pretty rugged with those last minute holiday flights. We decided that Jamie would be sleeping with me in my room and after a lot of ‘discussing’ that Ryan would take the couch.
Mariah: “Well I don’t want you to feel excluded!”
Ryan: “Why would I feel ‘excluded’?”
Mariah: “I…I don’t know! I just feel bad… I mean what if you just sleep in my room?”
“But you’re not comfortable with that. I don’t want to make you feel anything less than comfortable in your own home.” He told her as he stepped closer to her and rubbed her arms.
They were still talking about it in the living room in front of me as I made hot chocolate in the kitchen with Jamie for the four of us. I looked up and smiled at the two of them as I poured cocoa powder into four massive mugs resting on the breakfast bar.
Mariah sighed deeply then spoke, “I know but it makes me feel bad leaving you out here in the living room while I’m in my bed and Jamie and Alexa are together in hers.” She looked down with a languish face.
“Don’t feel bad, I don’t want you to feel bad about it.” He squeezed her arms ducking down to try and see her face.
“I’m sorry but I do! I don’t want you on that couch for this whole vacation! It won’t make for a very happy Christmas.” She told him.
Ryan stopped and just looked at her, her face back to staring at the floor as she shuffled her feet slightly. He grew a frown onto his face before beaming at an idea he had, “What if I sleep in your room but just on the floor?”
“Isn’t that worse?! Ugh!” She threw her hands above her head and came over to sit at the breakfast counter like it was a club’s bar. Ryan followed her and sat in the modern, sleek black chair next to her and rubbed her back as I shot her a mug of hot cocoa followed by one for Ryan. Jamie approached me from behind and placed his hand around my waist and handed me my own mug with my fresh cocoa in it. I sipped it and we watched beyond the counter, waiting for the two of them to make a comment.
After quite a long silence of nothing but Ryan rubbing her back in circles and all of our occasional sips of our drinks, I decided it was time for someone to speak up, “Well I don’t know about you guys but I am as tired as hell! I’m heading off to bed.”
“I’m coming too.” Jamie said and I took his hand as we walked around the table and to the other side.
“Night!” I told Mariah as she stood up to hug me goodnight. As she did I held her tight and told her, “Don’t worry, you two will work something out I know it!” I opened my eyes to see Ryan and I smiled at him and he smiled back.
She pulled away and said, “Thanks! Goodnight you two!”
“Goodnight little soccer momma!” Jamie shouted to her as he piggy backed me down the stubby hallway.
She giggled and as we turned to the left to enter my room and I shouted one last time, “Night! I love you guys!!!” And then the door slammed shut behind us.
* * *
Jamie flipped me over and onto the bed and I let out a shriek not expecting that at all! I put my hands up to my face to cover me as I laughed. He came to the edge of the bed and placed each of his hands next to either side of my head so he was looking at me upside down. I looked up at him and smiled, still wanting to laugh and he smiled back and leant down to kiss me. I brought my hands up to his face and held his upside down head as we connected our lips into a puzzle that always fit just right. He pulled away and jumped onto the bed and turned around so we were laying in the same direction. He propped himself up on his side as I turned onto mine but stayed lying on the bed.
Jamie: “So, you’re tried?”
Me: “Mhmm. Very.”
Jamie: “Awhh.” He made a pouty face. “I was hoping we could…” his eyes traveled around the room.
I hoisted myself up and kissed him before conjuring a tiny smile. I turned so I was facing long ways, just like the bed and rested my head on the pillow under me. He did the same, coming up to the top of the bed and lying next to me.
“Maybe some other time.” I nodded and smiled, pecking his lips before reaching behind me to turn off the purple lamp I had on and getting under the covers.
Jamie did the same and perched himself up a little higher on the pillow so I could rest against him and be his little spoon. He wrapped his arm around me and took my hand in his free one and played with my fingers mindlessly, resting his cheek on my head.
After some silence I closed my eyes and smiled before saying, “Goodnight Jamie.”
“Goodnight Alexa.” He replied and then kissed my head.
He soon stopped dangling my fingers around and interlocked our hands together before we both drifted off to sleep, once again together like we had done for that last time back in October.

~ Mariah’s POV ~
Alexa and Jamie told us goodnight before heading to Alexa’s room to go to sleep together. It had been a long and ruff past two weeks for everyone and we were all ready to get some well-deserved rest. Ryan and I had moved to the living room with our mugs in hand, I sat on the couch in front of the TV and he sat on the other across from the balcony. We were silent. Sipping our hot chocolate every so often not sure of how to sort out this situation. It was quite awkward actually, more than it should have been.
“…Well…I’m going to get some sleep!” Ryan said breaking the silence like a shattering piece of glass and placing his drink on the coffee table.
I sighed a little bit too loud, more than I had intended to make it.
“What?”
“Oh you know what!” I exclaimed.
“Okay look, I know this is hard for you,” He started, getting up and sitting next to me. “…because you want me to be comfortable but you want to be as well. But trust me, I will be fine out here so you go to your room and sleep, get some rest and I will too. Right now, we need it desperately and I think that if we just sleep tonight in our own places then in the morning we’ll work something out okay?”
I looked up at him and asked, “You sure?”
“I am positive! Promise!”
“Okay if you are sure then yeah let’s do that!” I nodded with a smile in agreement. We stood up and hugged and then I spoke again, “Oh! Let me go get you some blankets you can use from my room, it’s the least I can do!”
He didn’t hesitate and I didn’t either, not waiting for his answer and running to my room to grab a few of the extra blankets I use but didn’t need to sleep with. I came back out into the living room shortly after and gave them to him.
“Will these be enough?” I asked spreading them out in the air for him to see.
“Yes, plenty thank you!” He took them with appreciation and I was glad he was going to be okay out here.
“Awesome! So do you have everything else you’ll need?”
“Yep I think so!” He was already throwing the blankets out over the couch.
“Okay well I’m going to bed then.” I told him awkwardly. “If there is anything else you need come get me! Okay?”
“Mariah! Stop treating me like a guest!”
“But you are a guest and I want to treat you right.”
“Well yeah but I’m not just a guest I’m your friend okay? I want you to be comfortable around me…” His face developed sadness in it when he spoke his last sentence.
“I am! It’s just that I am still hung up over this whole ‘where were both sleeping’ thing and it is going to bug me all night until we sort it out tomorrow.”
He looked down and sighed, “Okay, what do you want me to do?”
“I…I don’t know…..wait I got it! Stay here.” I ran to my room and grabbed all the blankets I sleep with plus two pillows, one for me one for Ryan, I forgot to bring him one.
I came back out to the living room and plopped my things onto the couch I had been sitting on previously. “I’ll sleep out here with you!” I exclaimed happily with my hands proudly on my hips, my eyes closed and the biggest smile I had ever shown anyone on my face.
“Are you sure?” he asked.
“Of course! If you’re going to be out here than so am I! You know, now that I think about it, I would probably be worrying about you so much that I wouldn’t be able to sleep and come out here to sleep with you anyways!”
He smiled at me and I smiled back, he took a step closer and leaned over to kiss me gently. He pulled away slowly and I didn’t say anything, just kept my smile and added more to it loving the feeling of his willing passion toward me and wishing he had stayed longer.
We both got into our blankets scrawled across each of our couches. I could look straight across to see his face resting on his pillow as he said goodnight to me. I replied the same and watched as he closed his eyes and lingered off to sleep with a smile on his face. I ended up doing the exact same.
