When I Come Around, chapter 3
Tre and Kellie drove through the streets of Oakland, towards a recording studio downtown.
"So remind me again why you didn't move in with your bandmates if they're living out here too." Tre aked.
"Oh, they're living with one of the guy's uncle. But the uncle doesn't like me very much. So Billie didn't think it would be the greatest thing for my band if I lived with them and got in arguements about their families and shit."
"Ah. I see." Tre smiled, secretly thinking about how glad he was that Billie had made Kellie move in with him.
They pulled into the studio parking lot and Kellie hopped out of the car.
"Call me when you guys are done. I'll come drive you home, okay?"
"Okay! Thanks. Hey, are you sure you don't want to come in and watch? The band wouldn't mind, and it might be kinda fun!"
Tre smiled sadly. "Aww, I really wish I could. I'd love to see you guys in action. But I promised Mike I'd meet him for lunch. I'll come watch you guys record next time though, okay?"
"aw, alright." Kellie leaned over and gave Tre a quick hug. "Bye Tre!"
"Bye Kellie!"
He sat and watched her walk into the recording studio, wondering why he wished he could be walking in there with her.
Billie was talking to Kellie's band when she walked in. Morgan, the bass player, and Justin, the drum player, were hanging off of billie's every word, starstruck.
"Hey Billie!" Kellie called out, waving enthusiastically. Billie looked up and saw her, and smiled.
"Hey Kel!" He walked over to her and gave her a big hug. "How's my favorite little guitar girl doing today?" he joked, messing up her hair. He took a step back and pretended to inspect her. "You seem to be alright. No serious injuries. No bruises from whips or other sexual toys.....so I guess you made it through your first night at the Cool House!"
Kellie laughed. "Yep, I'm still alive."
"So how was it? Do you like living there so far?"
"Yeah, it's great! Tre's a lot of fun. We had a movie marathon last night."
"A MOVIE marathon?....Oh no. Please tell me he didn't show you those shitty home videos!"
"Yeah, he did!"
Billie laughed. "The ones with me getting naked and dancing around and.... whatnot?"
"Yeah!" Kellie laughed at him and gave him a teasing look. "And you were so cute and small!" She joked, pretending to grab his crotch. "Itsy bitsy wittle Billie!"
"God, I'm going to make Tre BURN those tapes!" He laughed as he dragged a hysterically laughing Kellie over to her band.
4 hours later, the band had finished recording two demos. The other guys had already gone home. Billie and Kellie stood in front of the studio, waiting for Tre.
"Hey, tomorrow maybe you can come over. Addie's just dying to take you shopping!" Billie said.
"That sounds cool! I've been waiting to check out that vintage store that she keeps telling me about."
Tre pulled up in the parking lot and waved to Billie. Kellie gave Billie a hug and got in the car.
"Hey Tre."
"Hey. How'd the recording go?"
"It was pretty good. We got two good demos down."
"Awesome! Can I listen to them tonight?"
"Yeah! I'd like to get your opinion on them."
Billie walked to the car and opened the door.
"Hey Tre!" he said.
"Wassup, man?!"
"Tomorrow you and me and Mike have gotta hang out! I'll call you, okay?"
"K. But I can't leave Kellie home all alone. She'll be bored!"
Billie smiled. "No she won't. Addie's gonna take her shopping."
"Oh, cool! Call me in the morning, okay?"
"Alright! Later man!"
Later that night, Tre and Kellie sat in her room, listening to her demos. Tre bopped his head and tapped his fingers to the beat. As the song ended, he smiled at Kellie.
"What do you think?" she asked nervously.
"That was AWESOME!" he exclaimed. "You guys are really good!"
Kellie smiled shyly. "You really liked it? I don't know, I thought maybe that last song was a little too pop-ish. Like my voice was too poppy..."
"No way! It fucking rocked, Kellie! You're really good!"
Kellie grinned at him. "Thanks! Yay, I have a fan!" She gave him a big hug, excited that he'd liked her demo. Tre playfully pushed her back against the bed, pretending to wrestle with her.
"Oh my god, I'm your biggest fan!!!" He squealed in a high pitched, teenie voice as she laughed.
Tre was laying on top of her, still joking around. He looked down at her underneath him, and suddenly stopped making jokes. Their eyes met, and he realized how close their faces were. He could feel her breath on his face. Her hands were tangled up in his hair, holding his head close to hers.
For an instant, he imagined himself leaning in closer....just a little closer....and then....
He pushed the thought out of his mind, suddenly very embarrassed and turning red. He rolled off of her and shakily stood up, trying smile. He hardly even noticed how much Kellie was blushing.
"I like the demos," he said awkwardly, walking shakily towards the door. "You're a really good singer. Yeah."
"Thanks," she said, staring at him.
"Well, I'm ummm....gonna go to bed now. I'm kind of tired."
"Yeah. Me too."
"Good night," he said gently, opening the door.
"Good night Tre."
He shut the door behind him, and left Kellie still lying on her bed, imagining Tre lying on top of her again.
"So remind me again why you didn't move in with your bandmates if they're living out here too." Tre aked.
"Oh, they're living with one of the guy's uncle. But the uncle doesn't like me very much. So Billie didn't think it would be the greatest thing for my band if I lived with them and got in arguements about their families and shit."
