Tre Cool Is My Uncle!, chapter 5
When all the bad thoughts were gone I cried. Not because of Jimmy but for the fact that for once in my life I was unsure of something.
Someone came out onto the roof and put their arms around me. I smelt the failure smell of booze, cigarettes and hair gel stuff.
"Fuck it Billie! What's wrong with me?" I asked
"You like him. Plain and simple and even though you're the biggest bitch around there's a small part of you that wants to run around after him, doing what he wants you to do."
I took in his words and knew he was right. I wiped my eyes and looked up at him.
"He was sooooo wrong about the Kaiser Chiefs! They rock!!!" I said. Billie laughed and nodded in agreement. He handed me a tissue to mop myself up.
"Thanks" I said wiping off the running mascara. He looked over the edge of the building.
"Fucking awesome view!" He laughed. The Hotel was on the banks of the Liffey. Across the river you could see O'Connell Street and unfortunately The Spire from where we were sitting. I nodded and rested my head on his shoulder.
"We're doing a signing at H.M.V. Do you want to come?" he asked.
I nodded got up and brushed myself off. Billie put his arm around me and we floated inside. Many girls would be envious of this position but he was just my uncle Billie.
I went back into my room to find very concerned looking Ashley and Niamh.
"You should've seen the look on Jimmy's face when you stormed off!" Ashley said after she knew I was all right.
"Ya Billie and Mike went looking for you but Tre stayed and shouted at him" Niamh added.
"Ya and he said he wouldn't apologise just because you were a little sensitive. Tre told us to get up here after that." Ashley bitched
"Any apology from him would've been fake anyway" I said bitterly. I went into the bathroom and got refreshed and changed into my "KAISER CHEIFS ROCK!!!" t-shirt.
Johnny and Jesse were sitting on the bed when I came out. Johnny put his arms up in defence and laughed.
"Please don't hurt me!!"
I bared my teeth at him and he hid behind Niamh. I laughed. We arranged to meet up after the signing for a wander around town.
Downstairs Jimmy was standing in between Mike and Tre.
"Sor... ." He started.
"Forget about it, let's just go." I said walking out the door. I sat in the back of the van, Jimmy clamoured in after me. I pushed my self nearer the window so that no part of me was touching him. Billie and Tre sat in the middle while Mike sat up front.
"Let's get this weird deranged fucking show on the road!" Tre shouted. I laughed and turned to Jimmy. He looked at my top and smirked.
"You stick to your word then!" he laughed.
"Always have, always will, never won't" I said sternly back to him. He gave me an I-want-you-right-here-right-now look and his eyes wandered down to my chest and lingered there. I turned to stare out the window and said.
"Please stop staring at my boobs there not for free."
I could feel his face going red even though I wasn't looking at him.
The signing was crazy... Lot's of Green Day fans in a very enclosed space. I laughed as the girls threw themselves at Billie. Jimmy was going to sit down next to me but Tre grabbed him over next to him. We stared at each other for a while. Tre was distracted by fans so he didn't have time to tell us off. Jimmy's eyes roamed all over me. He looked back in my eyes and licked his lips. I raised my eyebrows at him and gave him an I-know-you-want-me-but-you-can't-have-me look. He rolled his eyes. I wanted to keep up the competition but I had to pee.
When I floated out of the bathroom Jimmy was leaning up against the opposite wall with one leg resting on it. All the hatred and bad Karma just melted away and all that was left was lust. I resisted the urge to kiss him and went back to the frenzy of the signing. Before I knew what was happening he shoved me behind the screen that was behind Green Day and shoved me against the wall. I could feel his heartbeat. I stared innocently into his eyes.
"I can't stop thinking about you." He said. His heartbeat quickened.
"I don't know why I do the shit I do but every time I look at you when you're just standing there I want to tell everyone your mine. I get jealous of anyone else that's so much as looks at you." He said cupping my face. I was speechless so I kissed him. It was an angry, passionate kiss. He broke away and just looked in my eyes. I sunk into his arms and just rested there. He kissed my neck and then he started nibbling my ear. I giggled, too loudly apparently. I felt someone grab me from behind and drag me away from Jimmy. I struggled to get away but the person had me at the waist. I was shoved away into a corner and Tre, who had been carrying me, gave me a stern look.
"What the fuck?? You stay away from him!" he said stabbing his finger at Jimmy.
"He's not for you!"
"What do you mean? It's not as if you were any different as a teenager!" I spitted at him.
"I'm looking after YOU and YOU do as I say!" he bit out. Jimmy sauntered over.
"I am looking after YOU so YOU stay away from HER!" He shouted at Jimmy.
"What difference does it make? We're both old enough to know what we want!" Jimmy argued.
"Ya and 'HER' was christened Aisling Margaret Elizabeth Wright!" I added.
"You stay here!" He said pointing to Jimmy. "You piss off I can't look at you!" He said to me.
"Fine!" I said and stormed out of the shop.
Someone grabbed me by the arm. I turned around to face Mike. A few of the girls in the queue squealed.
"Look, leave Tre off. He's just fucking things up again. He thinks he's protecting you."
"I'm old enough to take care of myself!" I said through gritted teeth.
"I know! You could take on any of us in a fight and win! Just stay out of Tre's way for a while. He gets pretty bitchy when he's sober" Mike laughed. I nodded and smiled.
"Do you want me to drop you to the Hotel?" He asked. I shook my head
"I'm going to float for a bit, get back to your fans" I answered. He gave me a quick hug and went back into the frantic shop. I took my phone out of my pocket and dialled the failure number...
