You are my Drug

Stefani

    It was around one in the morning when Bradley woke up from his nap on the couch.
I stayed up watching cartoons with Lea even though she fell asleep within the first twenty minutes. When Bradley opened his eyes he shot up highly confused,

"What time is it?" He rubbed his sleepy eyes

"Uhm" I look at the clock "1:12 am"

"How long did I sleep?" He laid back down grabbing a blanket from the ottoman

"At least seven hours" I smiled standing up "I'm going to put Lea in the room next to mine. I'll come back down after I change" I slowly walked upstairs and placed the baby gently on the Queen sized bed. I placed a thin blanket with tiny knitted holes on top of her.

I went into my room changing into the usual. (Underwear and a T-shirt)

When I came downstairs Bradley wasn't in the same spot as he was when I left.

"Coop?" I called out

I heard a small woof come from the kitchen and I started walking towards the sound.

"Shhh don't let mommy hear us" he whispered

*woof*

"Don't fucking try me Asia" he laughed

I walked into the kitchen seeing Bradley sitting on the floor with my three dogs and a peanut butter jar in his hands.

"Bradley!" I fake gave him sass

"Oh shit, kids" he stood up and held up his hands "It was their idea!" He pointed to the puppies sitting with their heads tilted

We both looked at the dogs and burst out laughing. When the energy in the room calmed down I jumped up and sat on the counter as Bradley leaned his back/butt up against the island facing me.

"Do you ever have literal dreams where you start to regret things?" He spoke up

"Please be more specific" I stared him in the eyes

"I'm my Dream My older self was yelling at my younger self for being stupid. How could I waste fourteen years of sobriety just to fall back into the trap again." He grabbed his hair

My eyes glossed over feeling his pain.

"The last time I drank was the day before Lea was born. I'm now five months clean, but for some reason these past five months were harder than the fourteen years I stayed away from the one thing I loved" he let go of his hair a tightly put his arms to the sides of the counter

"I used to fall into the trap of Alcohol and Drugs" the sound of my voice surprised him although he's heard it a million times "that shit made me feel things I wanted to feel and numb the pain I couldn't resist"

He straightened his back and looked me in the eyes at a different level tonight.

"I forced myself to slow down with the drinking and to stop with the drugs because sooner or later it was going to damage the one thing I loved"

We sat in silence for a few moments before I spoke again.

"Bradley, you and I were in the same boat. We used the poison to fix our pain. We avoided all the good fixes and focused on all the bad choices. We are clean now and every single day we are marking another day of our strength. Let's be grateful that the hard time is over and somehow both of us found a fix that works"

His straight face turned into a smile, "What is your fix"

"Mine is my music. The more I play the more I forget and grow angry at the drugs and alcohol that could've taken all of this away from me. The fans are a big bonus too. I need to be a good influence on them, and if they see me doing crazy shit and getting high as hell they would follow and then what's the good in that?" I spoke in three breaths

"What about you" I smiled

"You. You are my drug" his smile grew bigger "Ever since you came into my life I never wanted to touch a bottle of whiskey to my lips again. You gave me the same adrenaline and pain reliever as every sip of alcohol that's grazed my lips. I know you haven't been there the full fourteen years, but ever since you came along I realized how foolish it was to be an alcoholic. That's why when I stopped hanging out around you and found out Irina was Pregnant the first thing I did was drink. Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, you my friend are my living drug" he walked up to me and I opened my legs so he could get closer to my body.

It started off as a hug then grew into kisses. The kisses became more of a make out session, and in a little less than two minutes my shirt was off revealing my chest.

Of course Bradley worked his way down from my lips to my neck to my chest.

With every single kiss he placed on my skin I felt flames in my stomach. He gently made his way back up to my lips and then stopped looking me in my eyes,

"Take me to bed, Bradley" I whispered with desire in my eyes

He quickly picked me up off of the counter and walked me up the stairs. Our lips instantly reconnected as we fell back onto my bed that we shared the night before.

"I've been wanting to do this since the moment we got done filming the love scene on A Star is Born" he whispered into my ear slightly biting it.

I pulled his black long sleeve off of him watching as excitement grew in his eyes.

"Do you really want to do this" he flipped me over so he was on top of me

"Yes" I kissed him

He pushed down his gray sweatpants and kissed me again.

Oh My Fucking God.

"I hope you have a Condom" I closed my eyes

"Don't worry about it"
