Just One More Day, chapter 5
We had given up running by the time we got to the hotel, we were already soaked through. The people standing in the lobby gave us weird looks as we made our way to our room, it made me nervous but Billie Joe seemed unfazed by it. I stood shivering as we waited for the lift to come, my clothes we stuck to my body and my hair dripped down my back making me even colder.
'You want a hug, to keep you warm?' he asked me as we got into the lift, i nodded unable to speak and he wrapped his arms around my freezing body and kissed the top of my head.
'I'm...nnn...never going....ooout without..aannn..umbrellla again....' I said inbetween shivers. Billie Joe laughed into the top of my head, I felt his warm breath on my neck and down my back.
We knocked on the room door because we hadn't taken a key and it soon swung violently open. Tre stood there, his face full of anger, he glaced at me, then at Billie Joe, then at our hands and stood back to let us in.
'Aren't you goin to apologise?' Billie Joe said to Tre, a tone of irratation in his voice.
'What for?' Tre exclaimed
'Oh come on Tre, don't play dumb with me. You know exactly what you said to Sophie on the phone!'
Tre looked angry, but then ashamed, he blushed and looked at the floor.
'Billie, it doesn't matter, I know Tre didn't mean it. Lets just forget about it, I'm freezing cold and just want a warm shower, if Tre has something to tell us, I'm sure he would. Right Tre?' I said looking at Tre for the first time since we had gotten in. Tre only nodded, still looking at the floor.
'Right, if no one minds, I'm gonna use the shower,' I said leaving the room and breathing a sigh of relief.
After my shower I walked back in the living area wearing one of Billie's sweaters, it was huge on me but I was still cold and it kept me warm. Tre gave me a questioning look.
'I'm still cold,' I explained
'You could have borrowed one of mine...' He mumbled
'I know, but Billie's room was nearer,' I grinned and snuggled up to him on the couch. He wrapped his arm around me and lent his head on mine.
'Whats up with you two anyway?'
'What do you mean,'I asked shifting myself so my head was laying in his lap, he stroked me hair gently.
'You sneak out early in the morning together, you both come back soaking wet and holding hands....are you dating?' He said,to himself more than me
'Sort of....I think so..' I say, unsure of his reaction
'About fucking time!' He grins cheekily
'What?'
'Soph, it was so obvious you like each other, me and Mike had bets on when you two would get it together' He laughed
'So why were you so pissed off earlier?' I said changing the subject quickly.
he sighed. 'I dunno....I'm just really tired, I guess I took out some of my fustration on you. I'm really sorry, I should have never said all that stuff..'
I hugged him to let him know it was all Ok.
We didn't feel like going out that evening, so we ordered room service and rented a film, which we didn't even watch. We ended up sitting up and talking all night about everything and anything. We reminisced and remembered 'the good old days' as Mike called them and discussed the future. The future. It was a funny thing, we had know idea what was in store for us, and we didn't care either.
Billie Joe had his arm around me all night as we slept, it felt so right, to he feel his skin on mine and his breath on my neck.
'This is how it's supposed to be' I thought 'All the stuff thats happened in the past means nothing, I have all I need, I have everything I'll ever need, me, Billie Joe, Tre and Mike...'
'You want a hug, to keep you warm?' he asked me as we got into the lift, i nodded unable to speak and he wrapped his arms around my freezing body and kissed the top of my head.
