Tripping Over Drum Sets, chapter 16
In the middle of the night Nick awoke me by rubbing my shoulder.
"Hey Baby?" he said quietly. I rolled over and looked into his eyes. Was this really love? He kissed me and I kissed back. Slowly we started kissing more passionately and Nick started to take my clothes off as he kissed my neck. I started to take his boxers off as he got my shirt off and started kissing my chest and smelling my neck. I could feel him getting harder. And he was moaning quietly as I kissed him up and down his torso just stopping above his "spot." We started kissing again and he started to massage my tongue with his.
"Mmmmm, I love you!" I said between gasps of air.
"I love you too!" he said. You can imagine where things went from there I'm guessing. But right in the middle when "all" that was "happening" things started going down hill.
"Ooh! OH! OH!" I was saying as he was thrusting. "Oh my God! TRE!" What did I just say? Shit.... He stopping almost immediately.
"What?" he said, looking down at me.
"I- I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I don't know why I said that!" I said. I was telling the truth. I had no idea why I said Tre's name. Nick just all of a sudden got up and left the bed naked and walked into the bathroom. What have I done!? Oh shit, oh fuck! I am a dumb ass. I got out of bed and put my clothes on and lied down again. Tears were lightly streaming from my face. I cried myself to sleep that night.

The next day, I woke up with Nick by my side snoring lightly. Maybe it was a dream. I hope it was a dream. It has to be a dream. I shook Nick's shoulder to wake him up. He opened his eyes a little and looked up at me.
"Done screaming about Tre yet?" he asked bitterly. Oh my God! It wasn't dream. I felt like crying. Actually that's what I did. I broke down right there. He sat up and held me in his arms.
"I didn't mean to! I don't know why I did it! I'm so sorry!" I said.
"I'm sorry. Sh... it's okay." he whispered to me. Later that day I could tell he was still mad at me because Maria said that she was going to go to her pal's house that was an hour away and Nick said he was going to come with her, because he needed some time away. So spent the first part of the day by myself. Until the phone rang.
"Hello?" I said, almost tripping over my feet because I was racing to get to the phone.
"Hey Saidi? It's Mike. Wanna do something today with me and the guys?" came Mike's voice on the other end of the phone. I smiled. I had to do something today or I was going to go insane.
"Sure! What time? Where do I meet you?" I said.
"10 minutes from now at Puddle's Cafe! See you there!" he said.
"Bye!" I said as I hung up the phone. I quickly got changed. I put on my converse (which are my favorite shoes as you've probably guessed already) which were covered in mud, so I wiped most of it off from yesterday's events. I ended up running as fast as I could to Puddle's Cafe seeing as I didn't have any means of transportation and I was sick of taking taxies everywhere. I probably could have had a close relationship with on of them because we came across each other so many times.
I opened the door with a little jingle from the bell and found Mike, Billie Joe, and Tre all sitting at a table. I walked over and sat down between Mike and Billie Joe.
"Where's Adi?" I asked.
"Slept in. She didn't feel that well today so she told me to go anyways." replied Billie Joe helping himself to sugar and cream for his coffee.
"Oh I see. So what are you guys up to?" I asked as I played with a sugar packet.
"Oh! I got a new bass guitar!" said Mike excitedly bouncing up and down in his seat.
"Good for you!" I said. Mike smiled happily and drank some of his coffee. He's kind of an addict.
"Whaddya guys want to order?"" said a voice behind us. It was the waitress.
"I'll just have another coffee!" said Mike who quickly gulped his down.
"I would like a Caesar salad." I said. Billie Joe and Tre second my order and with in about 10 minutes there were three salads and about 3 empty coffee cups on our table. As you could imagine, Mike was wired. After just hanging out with "the Gang" we decided that we would leave the cafe and walk around town. I picked up the bill and promptly placed a $20 bill on the table and walked out leaving the change for the waitress as a tip. We weren't sure where to go, so we mainly tooled around town looking in random shops.
"Oh! Can we go in the flower shop? I want to look at flowers for the wedding." I said as we pasted Andy's Beautiful Bouquets.
"Sure." shrugged Mike as he looked at the other two who seemed to be more interested in a bee flying around a flower.
"Don't touch it! You'll get stung!" cried Billie Joe dancing frantically around Tre who was poking at the bee.
"No I won't look, it's so n- OW! YOU STUPID FUCKING BUGGER! He stung me! What an ass!" he cried holding his finger.
"I told you!" said Billie Joe like a child, placing his hands on his hip and shifting his weight to one side. I shook my head, laughing quietly as I pushed open the door and led Mike inside, leaving Billie Joe and Tre outside to deal with their little "problem."
"I like this kind of rose." I said holding up a simple red one. Mike shook his head and held up a white one.
"This one will match your dress." he said.
"But the red one will look nice with the ivy parts."
"So will the white."
"Well how about this one?" I asked again holding up another flower. Mike and I went on for about 45 minutes looking at flowers and having little discussions about them. That is until we were interrupted by Billie Joe and Tre.
"I think we need to take Tre to the hospital." said Billie Joe.
"Why?" I asked, but Tre held up his finger. It was huge! Really swollen. "I see. Well then, let's go." We kind of ran to the hospital from the flower shop, which was 5 blocks away.
"Okay then, why don't we find you a room and a doctor will be with you soon." said a nurse as she led Tre and us to a bed room.
"Well, I think I'd better go now. We had an eventful day, and I hope you get better soon Tre." I said as I left the room waving to everyone. I had fun. Other then Tre getting stung. I kind of felt bad for him.
"Hey Baby?" he said quietly. I rolled over and looked into his eyes. Was this really love? He kissed me and I kissed back. Slowly we started kissing more passionately and Nick started to take my clothes off as he kissed my neck. I started to take his boxers off as he got my shirt off and started kissing my chest and smelling my neck. I could feel him getting harder.
