It's Always Been You

Rain Part 20

We make it to the bus door out of sight from anyone. Zach hesitates before opening the door. He's still holding my hand. "What's wrong?" I shout over the rain. My clothes are definitely soaked through now. I look down and realize you can see my rose patterned bra through my white shirt. He smiles down at me. He pulls me over to the side of the door and places his back against the side of the bus.

I lean into him and our lips connect again. Rain drips down our faces and I can taste it in our mouths. I feel his hands try to get a grip around my waist but it only makes my wet shirt slide up my body. My skin tingles where his fingers touch my bare skin. The metal of his necklaces is cold as our chests press together. I feel him slide down the wall a little so he's my height. I run my hands through his wet hair trying to keep it out of his face. I laugh when I fail and he does too. "Blake I don't know how many times I've said this to you, but you're so beautiful." He kisses me again.

The pressure of his lips and kind words only make me want him more. But the rain was turning cold so I pull away and lace my fingers in his. We stare down at our hands for a moment. We look back up and we're both smiling. I lead the way into the bus. We walk in and all of the lights are off. They must be sleeping on the bus tonight.

Zach and I take turns in the bathroom changing out our wet clothes. We left them laid out on the floor on a towel to dry. I come out in sleep shorts and a big t shirt. He smiles at me. "You know you look cute in that too." He bites his lip and I blush. He walks over to me and places our foreheads together. I slide my hands over his shoulders and his go around my waist. He starts to sway a little.

"What song are you thinking of?" I whisper.

He smiles and starts humming the tune. He starts to sing, it's the song we listened to our first night in LA. I move my face and place it on his chest. His heart's beating fast and it makes me smile. His singing sounds like humming with my ear pressed to his chest. We sway until he finishes singing the song. "Do you want to have dinner with me tomorrow? Like a proper dinner?"

"We're going to be driving all day how?"

"I have ways." He winks at me with a grin spread across his face.

I nod but it's followed by a yawn.

"You tired?" He asks.

I nod, "but I don't want to go to bed yet." I tell him.

"Okay we don't have to." We walk over to the couch and sit down. I lean into his chest and he wraps his arms around me.

I don't know when I fell asleep but the next morning I woke up still on the couch. My pillow was vibrating again. I open my eyes and see we're sitting up and Zach's talking to the guys. I yawn and stretch almost punching Zach in the face in the process. "Good morning." He says.

"Good morning. Whatcha guys talking about?" I ask.

They're all looking between Zach and I. Except for Corbyn. Did he tell them? I won't mention it just in case. "Nothing much just seeing what we're gonna do today." Daniel says.

"You figure it out?" I ask and sit up so Zach's arms are no longer around me. Corbyn still won't look at me, he's looking down at his shoes fiddling with his fingers.

"Probably just some cards and games like usual." Jack shrugs.

"Works." I shrug and walk to my bunk. I grab my toiletry bag and go to the bathroom. I brush away the morning breath and get the knots out of my hair. I swear to you I'm going to chop it all off. It almost goes down to my waist. I sigh and throw it into a quick braid. I walk back out and the guys stop talking. "Okay what is going on?" I put my hands on my hips.

"What nothing." Jonah says and leans back trying to look casual. The other guys do it too. Corbyn isn't in the room anymore.

"You guys are terrible liars. You really need to work on that." I tell them. I walk back to my bunk. I put away my bag and walk towards the back bunks. Corbyn's curtain is closed. "Knock knock." I joke and he slides open his curtain.

"Oh hey." He says and turns around so he's facing me.

"You okay?" I sit down and lean my back against the opposite bunks.

"Lovely why?" He smiles.

"You just aren't with the other guys, thought something was wrong." I state.

"It's not like I've got to spend every waking hour with them." He points out.

I put up my hands, "alright I'll give you that. So what were you guys talking about?"

"Nope sorry bro code." He grins.

"Pft that's ridiculous."

"No its not you'll find out. You want to play a game?" He asks and waves his gameboy at me.

"Dude that thing is so old." I laugh.

"Hey don't hate on my baby!" He holds it to his chest.

I laugh, "sure." He shows me how to play some game I've never heard of before. I majorly suck at it. He kept laughing at me everytime I did something wrong which didn't help. I punched him in the arm a few times with my good hand. The swelling on my bruised hand has gone down majorly thanks to Zach's ice and a few pain pills.

Later that night I walk out to get some food when I'm stopped in my tracks.
