By The Way ☾ A.K

17.

The Sun.

    It was painfully blinding as Ellie's eyes opened up the next morning. This wasn't her home, this wasn't her bed, nor were these her pjs. She didn't own a world champion SuperBowl XVIII shirt. She glanced around some more to grasp her surroundings, her eyes adjusting to the bright room. She then noticed a figure curled up next to her, dark hair flowed over their tanned back which was marked by a giant Aztec falcon. Anthony. It was Anthony she was laying next to. The night before had felt like a dream and thats all she mucked it up to. With a swift movement she wrapped her arms around his torso, securing her grip by interlacing her fingers. Her face buried into the nape of his neck, inhaling the scent of the male.
    The sheer force of Ellie's hug was enough to stir the singer. His hands grazing over her fair skin, fingertips light as feathers against it. "Ellie..." He managed to croak. His hand slid up to her blonde hair, tangling deeply into it. "Ellie." He moaned out this time in realization she was there. He turned over and caressed the sides of her face, forcing her to look at him in the eyes.
    "Good morning." She whispered, dragging a hand down his bare chest.
    "You're here."
    "I'm staying here. With you." She couldn't help herself from leaning forward to capture his lips with hers. The two of them melted into one another, the embrace tightening. It was almost as if the two were frightened the other was going to vanish. Anthony pressed firm kisses to her cheeks, down her jawline and over her neck. He grazed his lips softly over her collar bone, his breath warm against her skin. Ellie's fingers tangled into long dark strands as she just admired the man that was kissing on her. She bit down on her lip as she did, draping her legs on either side of his hipbones, pulling him desperately closer to her. Her chest moved up and down eagerly, pressing against him as she urged him closer.
    They were stopped by the doorbell ringing. Anthony's face pressed against her chest with a groan, playfully nipping at the skin as he sat up. This exposed his board shorts slowly sliding down his hips, and his perfectly toned body. Ellie couldn't help but lay there and stare at him as he got up from the bed. She slowly pushed herself up as Anthony held his hand out to her.
    "I think Flea and Chad are here. We're supposed to have a meeting." Anthony grumbled softly as he pulled the girl close. He placed a firm kiss to her lips, his hand groping over her ass playfully. She couldn't help but giggle as she shoved him towards the door. It was blissful happiness once again. She was with the person she wanted to be with always.     She watched over the banister as Anthony let the bassist and drummer in. The moment Flea saw her, he stopped. She let out a giggle and waved to him softly. The look on his face was priceless. His jaw hung slack, and his eyes were wide. They glanced in between Anthony and Ellie before slowly grabbing his friend. He shook him violently, it looked as though his head was going to fall off.
    "YOU FINALLY DID IT!" The excitement in Flea's voice was evident. Ellie watched as Flea bounded up the stairs and grabbed her. She was lifted off the ground and spun around. "I have missed you kid! We got a lot to talk about! You owe me a Lakers game!"
    "That sounds like a deal, as long as you pay." She giggled as she was carried down the stairs, still in Flea's arms.
    "This is the second day back with her, can you not break her?" Anthony whined, trying to grab Ellie from the mans grasp. She was sat on the floor, and slid over to give Chad a hug.
    "We missed you more than Anthony." Chad muttered. She just shook her head with the biggest grin on her face. Anthony grabbed her by the waist and pulled her close to him. His arms draped over her shoulders, his head leaned down to press soft kisses to her ear and face. He was muttering soft words of affection to her before letting her go.
    The door flew open, exposing Dave standing there with his case. He glanced the group over before his eyes landed on Ellie. He had a soft grin on his face as he walked in.
    "Well well, didn't think I'd be seeing you here." He hummed walking over to Ellie. He glanced down at her studying her face for a moment before looking at Anthony. "Didn't know she was your girl." Anthony just nodded with a proud smile, his eyes studying her. The look was of pure excitement and eagerness, that was his girl. As the three other men made their way to the room they would be practicing in, Anthony pulled Ellie in once more.
    "Your girl huh?" Her face ached from how hard she was smiling. Her eye shining in the brightest possible way.
    "I mean if you want to." Anthony casually shrugged his shoulders as he pressed a kiss to her forehead.
    "Why wouldn't I want to be?"
    "Because I have hurt you before, you might be weary of me."
    "You have to prove yourself Kiedis. I love you." She stood on her toes and pressed a kiss to his lips. Her hands caressing either side of his cheeks carefully. He leaned into her kiss, muttering a soft 'I love you too' against her lips gently. She carefully pulled away before shoving him off down the hall. He stumbled off before taking one look back at her. The smile on his face not fading as he disappeared into the room. Ellie sighed heavily as she pressed her back against one of the walls. She softly pinched herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming. She couldn't wipe the smile from her face as she stared at her feet. This was the best thing that could have happened. This was the life she wanted. To be with Anthony, and Anthony only.
