Lost For Words, chapter 17
Steph smiled and moved her seat so that Tre would be able to sit down. She looked up at him.
‘What you wanna talk about?’, she asked, trying to spark of some type of conversation. Tre looked into her eyes, and started thinking thoughts in his head.
‘I don’t know, I just wanted to talk’, he said innocently, fixing his position. Steph leaned out of bed slowly and grabbed her bag from under where she laid.
‘You want one?’, she asked, grabbing out a packet of cigarettes. Tre’s eyes widened.
‘I thought you told Billie and Mike you quit’, he said in shock. Steph rolled her eyes.
‘I only said that, because they said they had, and well I know they haven’t cos I’ve seen them smoking in the tree house’, Steph informed him. Tre took one from her, and lighted up.
‘This is good stuff’, he said, before he lay back down onto the bed.
‘I know’, Steph agreed, lighting up her own. She put it to her mouth and then took it away.
‘You wont tell the boys will you?’, she asked with worry, that Tre might say something.
‘No, it can be out secret’, he told her, inhaling again. Steph smiled and lay down next to him.
‘So are you excited for this recording?’, she asked him. He rolled over onto his side and looked at her.
‘Yeah. You pleased for us?’, he asked her. Steph smiled, before she answered.
‘Of course I am, why else would I be here?’, she asked, putting her lighter into her pocket. Tre started to think up millions of replies that he could have said for that, instead he chose a simple one.
‘Yeah, I guess’, he said, finishing the smoke off. Steph grabbed the perfume off the table next to her and sprayed it, getting rid of any of the smoke smell that remained. She put it back on the table and then turned back to start talking with Tre again.
‘You wanna go see what the boys are up to?’, she asked. Without thinking Tre replied.
‘I’d rather stay here with you’, he said to her in a whisper. Steph turned around to him.
‘Pardon I didn’t hear you?’, she told him, asking him to repeat himself.
‘Ahh yeah, let so see what there up to’, he told her, getting up and walking himself and Steph out of the bedroom.
-The Lounge with Mike and Billie-
‘Hey you’re awake’, Billie said as Steph came and sat down next to him. He put his arm around her and she gently nestled up to him. Tre watched with jealously going through his eyes, but he kept his cool and sat down quietly on the lounge Mike had taken up.
‘How long till we land?’, Steph asked, playing around with the end of Billie’s tie. He seemed to enjoy the attention, and didn’t answer her.
‘Well?’, she asked again, looking up at him.
‘According to the pilot a few minutes’, he told her, before she went back to playing with his tie and the buttons on his shirt. Maybe Mike had been right about what he said before. Giving no attention, could result in actually receiving some. The four friends continued to chat away, before slowly the plane descended into the town they were headed for......LOS ANGELES........
-Boarding off the plane-
‘Tre could you help me down’, Steph asked, anxiously. She looked over the edge step and it was way to steep for her. Tre held out his hand, and helped her jump down, catching her in the process. Mike got Billie down the same way, but instead of jumping it was ‘free ride’ style. Tre started teasing Steph by pretending to drop her and then catching her.
‘Tre stop it’, she told him, ‘Your scaring me’. Tre laughed at what she had said and did it again.
‘Aww, what I’m not allowed to have a little fun?’, he asked her, whispering it into her ear.
‘STOP HITTING ON MY GIRL’, Billie yelled at Tre, from up on Mike’s shoulders. Tre looked at him with a glare.
‘I’m not, I was just helping her down’, he said, letting go of Steph and watching her walk over to Billie.
‘Bill, don’t act like this’, she told him, pulling him down off Mike’s back.
‘Why, he’s he’s.......’, Billie managed to get out. Steph tried to make eye contact with him again.
‘He’s only being friendly. Now come on, I wanna get to where we’re staying’, Steph told him, putting an arm around him as she began walking.
‘But I can’t carry anything’, he said, lifting up his shirt to reveal the scar and stiches. Some of the girl in the airport started to stare.
‘Billie, put your shirt down’, Steph told him, tugging it so that it fell back down again.
‘What, I wanna show everyone that I’ve been working out’, he said cheekily.
‘Oh yeah, they wanna know that you’ve been sweating it out’, Steph said sarcastically.
‘They might’, he teased, pulling it back up slowly. Steph yanked it down again.
‘I don’t want girl’s perving on what I get to see exclusively’, she told him, making him walk next to her. Tre and Mike carried the luggage out to the limo waiting for them, before they all drove off to the house they were to stay at.
-At the house *an hour later after they have unpacked*-
Billie-Joe and Steph sat in the lounge, playing tonsil hockey. Not the most normal thing to do, but they we’re bored and this seemed to amuse them.
‘Ouch, Billie that’s my tongue ring you just hit’, Steph said, pulling away quickly. She fixed up the ring, as Billie started to talk to her.
‘I’m sorry Stephie’, he told her massaging her shoulders before he put his arms around her. She took the touch as being affectionate and started speaking again.
‘You didn’t hurt me, its just kinda came out that’s all’, she told him, as they started to kiss again. This time, they actually got into it a little more.
‘Oh man don’t do that in public, I do not want to see my sister kissing my best friend’, Mike said walking into the lounge with Tre following him.
‘Oh come on Mike, its not that bad’, Steph told him, continuing to be affectionate to Billie. He seemed to enjoy it, every moment.
‘Well sorry to break you two apart, but we’ve got to go to a recording in a half hour’, he told them...
‘What you wanna talk about?’, she asked, trying to spark of some type of conversation. Tre looked into her eyes, and started thinking thoughts in his head.
‘I don’t know, I just wanted to talk’, he said innocently, fixing his position. Steph leaned out of bed slowly and grabbed her bag from under where she laid.
