Tripping Over Drum Sets, chapter 34
I was sitting on the plane, that was flying 3500 feet in the air, dozing off into sleep. The flight was long and boring. I remember closing my eyes, and resting my head on Tre's shoulder, and everything disappearing from there.
Then I felt a rumbling. I opened my eyes and looked up. Tre was holding onto his seat tightly with a worried look on his face. I looked down the aisle. The lady bringing the food and drink was having a hard time standing and the water in the cups was splashing out the sides.
"Tre! What's going on!?" I said frantically grabbing his arm and waiting for a reply. His mouth was moving, but no words were coming out. "Tre! Tre! Talk to me!" He kept on moving his mouth, but still no words. I looked over to Billie Joe and Adi, who were wrapped in each other's arms. "Billie Joe! Adi! What's going on!" I said. They just ignored me. I wasn't there to them. "Mike! Help!" Mike was sitting there talking to Joey who was wrapped tightly in his arms, ignoring me. He too had a worried look on his face. I looked back at Billie Joe and Adi. Adi was crying and Billie Joe was trying to console her by stroking her long black dread locks. I started crying a little bit. I had no idea what was going on. Then I heard a voice on the intercom.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is not a drill. Please fasten your seatbelts and return your seats to the upright position while we make an emergencery landing." said the capitan.
"Oh my God! Tre!" I said turning back to my new husband. "Tre! I love you! I'm sorry for everything I've done that you didn't like! Tre! TRE!" Nothing. He just clutched the sides of his seat tighter and the bumping of the plane got much worse. I let out a skriek and wrapped my arms around Tre. Then a massive bump pulled me up out of my seat a bit.
"Holy flying fuck!" I screamed. Tre looked down at me.
"What are you doing? It's not good to swear on here." he said smiling, as he put an arm around me.
"The plane... it was shaking. We were supposed to make an emergency stop." I said looking up at him in disbelief.
"What the hell are you talking about? The plane has been flying smooth. We didn't even hit turbluance." he said. "You were probably having a nightmare or something."
"That's probably what it was." I said hiding my face. I had a tendancy to swear in my sleep. It's a curse. I peaked through my fingers up at Tre who was silently laughing at me. I scowled and pushed my face in between his arm and the chair cushion. He chuckled and put his arm around me and kissed my forehead. I looked back up at him. He was looking over at Billie Joe who was mouthing words at him from across the aisles. Adi was fast asleep with her head on Billie Joe's shoulder. Tre turned back to me and whispered, "We're going to land soon." I nodded and leaned my head on the back of my seat. The capitan's voice came on, and told us to buckle up, and return our seats to the upright position. The plane landed, we got off, got our junk and all that jazz. Nothing interesting really. After we all piled in two taxis, Billie Joe decided that we were all going to go to his house to visit.
The taxi stopped just outside Billie Joe's house and we all got out, and unpacked our things from the trunks of the taxis. I took my 2 over night bags and a suitcase from the back, and Frankito's kennel from the back seat, while everyone retrieved their own things.
"You're stay with me and Adi while we wait for the moving van to come." he said. He was holding Joey in the air above his head, swinging him around (making me very nervous.) as we walked up the path and into their house.
"Actually, I think I might be staying with Tre." I replied, my eyes following the flying Joey, who was giggling while going up and down in the air.
"My house is being renovated right now actually." Tre said, sitting down on the couch. Mike and Adi came in a couple minutes later with some sandwiches and handed us each a plate.
"Thanks Adi." I said taking a plate. "So tell me Tre, why is your house being renovated?"
"'Cause it's a shi- poo hole." he said, quickly changing his lanugage before Joey picked up on anything. Billie Joe's twinkled a bit.
"What?" I asked him. He snapped his eyes up at me and shook his head smiling.
"Nothing. Don't worry. I was just thinking for a sec." he said, bouncing Joey up and down on his knee.
"Wow, that's a first!" Mike exclaimed. Billie Joe shot a quick glare at the bassist and returned to playing with his son. I turned my head to Tre, who was quickly stuffing sandwiches in his mouth.
"Tre. Mind your manners." I said scowling at him. He smiled a bit, showing the munched up bread in his mouth. I looked away. "Ew! Tre!!!"
"Oops! Sorry." he said closing his mouth and smiling. I quickly looked at my watch and then back at Tre.
"It's getting a bit late. I think I'm gonna go to sleep." I said stretching my arms out. Frankito, who was sitting on my lap was already sleeping "Thanks for the food Adi. It was good."
"Here, I'll show you your room. Tre? You'll be sharing the room as well?" Billie Joe said still swinging his young son around his head.
"You know what? You're making me nervous swingin Joey around like that." I said, stopping Billie Joe, taking Joey and giving him to Adi.
"Well FINE then." Billie Joe said mockingly, trying to keep a laugh down, and failing misserably.
"I'll catch up with you soon." Tre said waving to me. I shurgged and followed Billie Joe down a hall where he opened a door, and showed me my room.
"Thanks Billie." I said. He gave me a hug, said good night, and shut my door. I turned on the light, and got undressed. "Dammit!" I said as I looked through one of my suit cases. I forgot to pack my pajamas. They must be in one of the boxes in the moving van. I shrugged my shoulders and climbed into bed, only in my bra and underwear. I pulled the blankets over me, and closed my eyes. It wasn't long before I drifted into a light sleep. Later into the night, I heard the door creak open, and a sliver of light peered into the room, landing on my face. I opened my eyes a little bit for a second to see the silohouette of Tre sneaking into the room. He closed the door and I closed my eyes, going back to sleep. He took off his clothes, and got into bed. I felt his warm body next to mine, as he rolled over to face me, pulling me close in his arms. I was still half asleep, but I could still hear everything he was saying.
"Have a good sleep Saidi. I love you. Don't leave me." he said, kissing me lightly on the forehead. I felt shivers go up my back, and I moved closer to him, finally falling totally asleep.
***
When I woke up the next morning, I rolled over to kiss Tre, but to my dismay he wasn't there. I sat up and frowned.
"Damn it Tre!" I said quietly. I slipped out of bed put my clothes on, and silently opened the door. I walked down the hall to the kitchen where Adi was standing with Billie Joe frying up some eggs, while Joey happily bounced in the jolly jumper. I found myself being slightly jealous of Joey for a minute, wishing I could be in a jumper thing. Because you know that would be so much fun. "Hey guys." I said.
"Oh! Hi Saidi." Adi said spinning around quickly.
"Where's Tre?" I asked pulling out a chair and sitting in it.
"Not sure. He said that he had some business to attend to but he'll be back soon. He hasn't eaten breakfast yet, so he'll come running." Billie Joe said watching his son bounce around. Joey got another few bounces in when we heard a crash. Adi dropped her spatula and Billie Joe ripped his eyes away from his bouncing son to look around the house.
"OH SAIDI!!!!" we heard. Adi picked up her spatula and Billie Joe shook his head and put a kettle on. Tre came running in the kitchen and slid on his knees stopping just before bowling me off. "Oh Saidi! I have a WONDERFUL surprise for you! Yes you! And I think you will like it very much." he said hugging me around the waist.
"You do?" I asked as he stood up.
"Yes." he said simply. He walked over and sat on the chair next to mine. I tilted my head at him as to say to continue.
"Do tell." I said.
"I can't! It's a surprise! A surprise I say! Therefore I cannot tell you." he said smiling. I scowled at him a bit and then smiled kissing him on the cheek.
"BILLIE!!!!!!!!" BILLIE JOE!!!!!" came a voice and the sound of a door shutting. Mike came running into the kitchen.
"I need to lock that door more often." Billie Joe said to Adi, who in turned smiled and continued cook breakfast.
"Billie! Look what I found!" Mike said holding up a $20 bill. Billie Joe raised his eyebrows.
"You broke into my house and screamed my name like a mad man to show me that you found a $20 bill?" Billie Joe asked.
"NO! Remember when we were like, 15 years old, and we drew on the president, and we wanted to see if it would ever get back to us. Well, IT'S BACK!" Mike screamed, smiling.
"Oh yeah. I forgot about that." Billie Joe said, his eyes widening, as he took the $20 bill. "So? Do we frame it, or send it around once again?"
"Frame it as 'The 20 that made its way around the world!'" Mike said, waving his hands in the air.
"Don't you mean 'the 20 that made its way around the USA?'" I asked. Mike's smiled dropped and he brought his hands to his hip, and chin.
"Yeah, I guess you're right. USA, not the world. It could have gone around the world if whoever had it at the time exchanged it for another currancy though!" Mike thought out loud.
"Unlikely Buddy." Billie Joe said as he talked to the living room and opening a draw. He pulled out a frame and came back to the kitchen. "I can't believe it's back though! I totally forgot about it like, a year after we sent it!" he said carefully putting the 20 in the frame.
"So Tre, about this surprise." I said raising an eyebrow and looking at him cheekily. He looked at me and smiled simply at me. I raised my eye brows waiting for an answer.
"I said it was a surpirse. Therefore! I can't tell you." he said sticking out his tongue. I leant in and kissed him, feeling his tongue go in my mouth. I heard him moan quietly and I felt him smile.
"You're not gonna get any tonight are you?" Mike asked nudging Tre. Tre scowled and looked back at me with big eyes. I just smiled and kissed him again.
(Later that day)
Tre decided to take me out to dinner that night. I sat on the bed that was neatly made in the room just down the hall from Billie Joe and Adi's room. I picked up my leather suitcase and rummaged through it. Most of my clothes were folded up neatly with the odd shirt randomly shoved somewhere, building up wrinkles. I pulled out a black silk shirt with red beading on it, and a pair of black jeans. I could hear Billie Joe, Mike and Tre down the hall to the basement, furiously playing their instruments, stopping, then muffled speaking, then a "1, 2, 3, 4!" shouted by Tre, followed by more furious playing. I layed my clothes out on my neatly made bed and studied my outfit,. I tilted my head and rummaged further through my bag, pulled out a necklace and a bracelet and placed them on my outfit. I nodded my head and left the room.
Adi was in the kitchen playing with Joey who was contentled bouncing up and down in his jolly jumper. Frankito was lying on the floor next to his water dish half asleep.
"Adi, I'm gonna go take a shower before I go out tonight. Is that ok?"
I asked her, watching Frankito watch Joey.
"Oh yeah! Go right ahead!" she said, waving her hand airily. I whistled and Frankito followed me to the bathroom. I got undressed and took my hair out of its ponytail. Frankito decided to park himself on my clothing and fell asleep. I adjusted the water in the shower and stepped in. I closed my eyes and let the water flow down over my face, down my body and down the drain. I quickly washed my hair, face, and body and then relazed, basking in the steamy water that was surrounding me. I heard the door knob start to turn and then door creak open. I gotta remember to lock that door, I thought to myself.
"Saidi?" came Tre's voice. I pulled the shower curtain back and poked my head out a bit. Tre was peaking in the bathroom, his eyebrows raised.
"Yes?" I asked, extending the 'y.' He looked up and dropped his eyebrows.
"Showering?" he asked smiling, and sounding hopeful. He entered the bathroom closing the door behind him. I heard a 'click' letting me know that he had just locked the door.
"Just getting out." I replied. He frowed at me, while undoing his belt.
"Well, who's gonna massage my head?" he asked, taking off his pants and then his shirt.
"You can wash your own hair." I pointed out. He stuck his tongue out at me and took his boxers off, while doing a little strip tease.
"How do you know I was talking about this head?" he asked, stepping in the shower and pointing to his his face, smiling devilishly. I made a shocked face and he kissed me.
"Well! If you put it like THAT!" I said, kissing him back. I felt him smile again. "So where are we going for dinner anyway?"
"I was thinking, possibly that nice French restaurant down the street. You know?" he asked.
"No," I said shaking my head.
"You'll find out tonight then." he said smugly kissing me. I smiled and kissed him back and back and forth it went until we were on the bottom of the bathroom tub, violently making out, on the verge of fucking like bunnies. Well, we passed the verge. Yes. We fucked like bunnies.
(Afterwards)
It wasn't long after getting in the car we were at our restaurant. Tre quickly got out and opened my door for me like a true gentleman.When we got in the restaurant, there was a man standing stick straight in a tux and with a pure white napkin over his left arm.
"May I help you?" he asked.
"The Cool Party please." Tre said. The man raised an eyebrow and took us to a booth at the back of the restaurant.
"Wow Tre! This is so... extravagant!" I said in amazement.
"Well thank you. I thought you might enjoy this. "When is your moving truck coming?"
"Tomorrow. Around 10 in the morning I think. Yeah. Some time around then. Well, when is your house finished being renovated?"
"Tonight actually." he said smugly.
"Really?" I asked, raining my eyebrows.
"Yes. And we will go see it tonight after dinner."
The waiter came and we ordered our dinner, and ate it, while talking about almost everything under the sun. After we were finished, Tre and I kissed and we paid the bill. We left the restaurant at about 10 at night, and got into Tre's car.
"So let's go see your house baby." I said kissing him. He smiled and we drove for about 30 minutes, and he parked the car. I looked up from my nails, which I had been playing with notoriously for the past 10 minutes. Everything here looked really familiar. Like I had been here before. I looked over to Tre. He was smiling and waiting for a reaction. "Where are we?" I asked. He pointed to the street sign. I looked closer at the sign, squinting my eyes so I could see better. 'East 12th St.' it read. Hmm, East 12th street? That sounds familiar too. I looked back at him. He was still smiling. I looked at the house. 240... East 12th street. Oh my God! 240 EAST 12TH STREET!
"Oh my God Tre." I said breathlessly. "You bought the 'Bomb Shelter'."
"That I did. Come on. Let's go for a walk down memory lane." he said taking my hand in his. We got out of the car and walked slowly up the walk way. Tre pulled a key out of his pocket and put it in the door and twisted. The door opened, with no creak and we walked inside. Tre turned on a light and we stared at the old house. We walked into the living room. It still smelled like old times. I looked in the bedrooms, and the famous bathroom where Tre and I first kissed. The kitchen was the same, the living room was the same. Nothing had changed at all, except the carpets, which I'm sure where cleaned and changed after the gang moved out, because of pizza stains and beer splotches everywhere.
"Tre, this is amazing." I said, tightening my grip on his hand. He wrapped his arm around me and kissed my forehead.
"I'm glad you like it. Because this is where we're going to live. Together. Just you and I and Franito." he said.
"Tre I love it. I love you." I said burring my head in his shirt.
"It's not the end though. Check the garage." he said smiling softly at me. My eyes went wide, and I ran to the garage. I swung open the door and turned the light on. Sitting in the middle of the garagewas a green mustang with silver black trimming. I turned back at Tre who was smiling with glee.
"Is.. this? Is it the same one?" I asked.
"It sure is." he nodded, wrapping his arms around my waiste from the back.
"Tre, this is the best surprise I could have ever asked for." I said, turning around in his arms and kissing him.
"C'mon. Let's go back to Billie Joe's. We'll be able to make it our own when your moving truck comes." he said.
We left the house and locked everything up. When we got to the car, Tre gave me a kiss, and we drove back to Billie Joe's house. When we got back, the house was dark, so we snuck in, and into our room with out waking anyone up.
"Good night Tre. I love you." I said to him, after crawling under the covers.
"I love you too." he replied, giving me a kiss and crawling under the covers as well. It didn't take long, and we were both asleep. I couldn't wait until tomorrow.
Then I felt a rumbling. I opened my eyes and looked up. Tre was holding onto his seat tightly with a worried look on his face. I looked down the aisle. The lady bringing the food and drink was having a hard time standing and the water in the cups was splashing out the sides.
"Tre! What's going on!?" I said frantically grabbing his arm and waiting for a reply. His mouth was moving, but no words were coming out. "Tre! Tre! Talk to me!" He kept on moving his mouth, but still no words. I looked over to Billie Joe and Adi, who were wrapped in each other's arms. "Billie Joe! Adi! What's going on!" I said. They just ignored me. I wasn't there to them. "Mike! Help!" Mike was sitting there talking to Joey who was wrapped tightly in his arms, ignoring me. He too had a worried look on his face. I looked back at Billie Joe and Adi. Adi was crying and Billie Joe was trying to console her by stroking her long black dread locks. I started crying a little bit. I had no idea what was going on. Then I heard a voice on the intercom.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is not a drill. Please fasten your seatbelts and return your seats to the upright position while we make an emergencery landing." said the capitan.
"Oh my God! Tre!" I said turning back to my new husband. "Tre! I love you! I'm sorry for everything I've done that you didn't like! Tre! TRE!" Nothing. He just clutched the sides of his seat tighter and the bumping of the plane got much worse. I let out a skriek and wrapped my arms around Tre. Then a massive bump pulled me up out of my seat a bit.
"Holy flying fuck!" I screamed. Tre looked down at me.
"What are you doing? It's not good to swear on here." he said smiling, as he put an arm around me.
"The plane... it was shaking. We were supposed to make an emergency stop." I said looking up at him in disbelief.
"What the hell are you talking about? The plane has been flying smooth. We didn't even hit turbluance." he said. "You were probably having a nightmare or something."
"That's probably what it was." I said hiding my face. I had a tendancy to swear in my sleep. It's a curse. I peaked through my fingers up at Tre who was silently laughing at me. I scowled and pushed my face in between his arm and the chair cushion. He chuckled and put his arm around me and kissed my forehead. I looked back up at him. He was looking over at Billie Joe who was mouthing words at him from across the aisles. Adi was fast asleep with her head on Billie Joe's shoulder. Tre turned back to me and whispered, "We're going to land soon." I nodded and leaned my head on the back of my seat. The capitan's voice came on, and told us to buckle up, and return our seats to the upright position. The plane landed, we got off, got our junk and all that jazz. Nothing interesting really. After we all piled in two taxis, Billie Joe decided that we were all going to go to his house to visit.
The taxi stopped just outside Billie Joe's house and we all got out, and unpacked our things from the trunks of the taxis. I took my 2 over night bags and a suitcase from the back, and Frankito's kennel from the back seat, while everyone retrieved their own things.

"My house is being renovated right now actually." Tre said, sitting down on the couch. Mike and Adi came in a couple minutes later with some sandwiches and handed us each a plate.
"Thanks Adi." I said taking a plate. "So tell me Tre, why is your house being renovated?"
"'Cause it's a shi- poo hole." he said, quickly changing his lanugage before Joey picked up on anything. Billie Joe's twinkled a bit.
"What?" I asked him. He snapped his eyes up at me and shook his head smiling.
"Nothing. Don't worry. I was just thinking for a sec." he said, bouncing Joey up and down on his knee.
"Wow, that's a first!" Mike exclaimed. Billie Joe shot a quick glare at the bassist and returned to playing with his son. I turned my head to Tre, who was quickly stuffing sandwiches in his mouth.
"Tre. Mind your manners." I said scowling at him. He smiled a bit, showing the munched up bread in his mouth. I looked away. "Ew! Tre!!!"

"So Tre, about this surprise." I said raising an eyebrow and looking at him cheekily. He looked at me and smiled simply at me. I raised my eye brows waiting for an answer.

(Later that day)
Tre decided to take me out to dinner that night. I sat on the bed that was neatly made in the room just down the hall from Billie Joe and Adi's room. I picked up my leather suitcase and rummaged through it. Most of my clothes were folded up neatly with the odd shirt randomly shoved somewhere, building up wrinkles. I pulled out a black silk shirt with red beading on it, and a pair of black jeans. I could hear Billie Joe, Mike and Tre down the hall to the basement, furiously playing their instruments, stopping, then muffled speaking, then a "1, 2, 3, 4!" shouted by Tre, followed by more furious playing.

Frankito decided to park himself on my clothing and fell asleep. I adjusted the water in the shower and stepped in. I closed my eyes and let the water flow down over my face, down my body and down the drain. I quickly washed my hair, face, and body and then relazed, basking in the steamy water that was surrounding me. I heard the door knob start to turn and then door creak open. I gotta remember to lock that door, I thought to myself.
"Saidi?" came Tre's voice. I pulled the shower curtain back and poked my head out a bit. Tre was peaking in the bathroom, his eyebrows raised.
"Yes?" I asked, extending the 'y.' He looked up and dropped his eyebrows.
"Showering?" he asked smiling, and sounding hopeful. He entered the bathroom closing the door behind him. I heard a 'click' letting me know that he had just locked the door.
"Just getting out." I replied. He frowed at me, while undoing his belt.
"Well, who's gonna massage my head?" he asked, taking off his pants and then his shirt.
"You can wash your own hair." I pointed out. He stuck his tongue out at me and took his boxers off, while doing a little strip tease.
"How do you know I was talking about this head?" he asked, stepping in the shower and pointing to his his face, smiling devilishly. I made a shocked face and he kissed me.
"Well! If you put it like THAT!" I said, kissing him back. I felt him smile again. "So where are we going for dinner anyway?"
"I was thinking, possibly that nice French restaurant down the street. You know?" he asked.
"No," I said shaking my head.
"You'll find out tonight then." he said smugly kissing me. I smiled and kissed him back and back and forth it went until we were on the bottom of the bathroom tub, violently making out, on the verge of fucking like bunnies. Well, we passed the verge. Yes. We fucked like bunnies.

It wasn't long after getting in the car we were at our restaurant. Tre quickly got out and opened my door for me like a true gentleman.When we got in the restaurant, there was a man standing stick straight in a tux and with a pure white napkin over his left arm.

The waiter came and we ordered our dinner, and ate it, while talking about almost everything under the sun. After we were finished, Tre and I kissed and we paid the bill. We left the restaurant at about 10 at night, and got into Tre's car.
"So let's go see your house baby." I said kissing him. He smiled and we drove for about 30 minutes, and he parked the car. I looked up from my nails, which I had been playing with notoriously for the past 10 minutes. Everything here looked really familiar. Like I had been here before. I looked over to Tre. He was smiling and waiting for a reaction. "Where are we?" I asked. He pointed to the street sign. I looked closer at the sign, squinting my eyes so I could see better. 'East 12th St.' it read. Hmm, East 12th street? That sounds familiar too. I looked back at him. He was still smiling. I looked at the house. 240... East 12th street. Oh my God! 240 EAST 12TH STREET!
"Oh my God Tre." I said breathlessly. "You bought the 'Bomb Shelter'."
"That I did. Come on. Let's go for a walk down memory lane." he said taking my hand in his. We got out of the car and walked slowly up the walk way. Tre pulled a key out of his pocket and put it in the door and twisted. The door opened, with no creak and we walked inside. Tre turned on a light and we stared at the old house. We walked into the living room. It still smelled like old times. I looked in the bedrooms, and the famous bathroom where Tre and I first kissed. The kitchen was the same, the living room was the same. Nothing had changed at all, except the carpets, which I'm sure where cleaned and changed after the gang moved out, because of pizza stains and beer splotches everywhere.
"Tre, this is amazing." I said, tightening my grip on his hand. He wrapped his arm around me and kissed my forehead.
"I'm glad you like it. Because this is where we're going to live. Together. Just you and I and Franito." he said.
"Tre I love it. I love you." I said burring my head in his shirt.
"It's not the end though. Check the garage." he said smiling softly at me. My eyes went wide, and I ran to the garage. I swung open the door and turned the light on. Sitting in the middle of the garagewas a green mustang with silver black trimming. I turned back at Tre who was smiling with glee.
"Is.. this? Is it the same one?" I asked.
"It sure is." he nodded, wrapping his arms around my waiste from the back.
"Tre, this is the best surprise I could have ever asked for." I said, turning around in his arms and kissing him.
"C'mon. Let's go back to Billie Joe's. We'll be able to make it our own when your moving truck comes." he said.
We left the house and locked everything up. When we got to the car, Tre gave me a kiss, and we drove back to Billie Joe's house. When we got back, the house was dark, so we snuck in, and into our room with out waking anyone up.
"Good night Tre. I love you." I said to him, after crawling under the covers.
"I love you too." he replied, giving me a kiss and crawling under the covers as well. It didn't take long, and we were both asleep. I couldn't wait until tomorrow.
