had seen better days and cut off shorts. I didn’t care though, my only thought was to get downstairs to Drake.
I made a mad dash down the stairs and out the front door, stepping out just as the bus was pulling up the driveway. My heart soared as I watched them approach; Drake was finally here and everything would be all right. I turned as Amber stepped outside with me, followed by Logan and Danny. Jordan was noticeably absent.
The bus hadn’t even come to a complete stop when the doors opened and Drake came tumbling off. I felt like I was in one of those old movies as I ran to him and met him half way. He picked me up and spun me around, laughing.
“I missed you so much Chloe, even if it’s only been a day.”
I kept my arms wrapped around him as he let me fall back to the ground. I felt safe with his arms around me, his smell engulfing me and overloading my senses.
I buried my head in his chest. “I missed you too. I’m so glad that you’re here now.”
“I won’t be leaving again until you’re ready to go with me, even if that means cancelling every show we have left. I’m sick of this being apart shit we’ve done all summer.” He whispered into my ear.
As he spoke, his breath tickled against my skin made me shiver with desire. The heat that was always present between us was still there, despite the circumstances and our audience. I pulled away; needing to keep my body under control, as Jade and the guys stepped off of the bus.
They all gave me a sad smile as they walked over to us.
“Hey girl.” Jade said as she stepped around Drake to hug me.
I hugged her back until she released me and then first Adam, then Eric, replaced her. I was a bit shocked by Adam and Eric being affectionate, but I tried to hide it. Apparently, my surprise was written all over my face, because they both started laughing as Eric pulled away.
“Don’t act so surprised, you kind of grew on us.” Adam said between chuckles.
I laughed as Drake threw his arm around my shoulder and steered me back into the house. Amber and Danny smiled at us as we passed, but Logan kept his face carefully blank. I hated how having Drake around stressed him out. Except for Drake, he was the most important guy in my life and I wanted him to be happy.
“I assume you will all be staying for the next few days?” Danny asked from behind us.
Everyone nodded as they followed us into the house.
“That’s fine with me, but I don’t have enough rooms for everyone. A couple of you will have to double up.” Danny said.
“I call Chloe,” Drake joked from beside me.
“Darn,” I grumbled, “I wanted Jade.”
Jade laughed as she walked over and kissed me on the cheek. “Just come to my room after he goes to sleep. What he doesn’t know won’t kill him.”
I burst out in a fit of giggles as Adam, Logan, and Drake’s mouths all dropped open.
“Oh hell no! If there is girl on girl action, I want to watch!” Adam shouted.
Amber rolled her eyes as she smacked him across the chest. “I think you’ll be too busy with me.”
He grinned. “Right, I volunteer to room with Amber!”
“Jade can stay with me if she wants.” Logan said from behind me.
I turned to look at him, surprised. He and Jade had always gotten along well enough, but I didn’t realize they were close enough to share a room.
“Thank you Logan, I appreciate that. I thought I was going to get stuck with Eric and he kicks in his sleep.” Jade said.
Eric snorted. “Do not.”
Logan avoided my gaze as he and Jade walked up the stairs together. Even though they kept several feet between them, I couldn’t help but wonder if something was going on there. I wanted Logan to be happy, and I couldn’t think of anyone nicer than Jade.
“Well, that’s surprising,” Drake murmured next to me.
“All right, looks like you’re getting the extra room Eric. I’ll show you where it’s at.” Danny said as he followed Logan and Jade up the stairs, Eric right behind.
“Yeah, Adam and I are going to go get caught up.” Amber said as she grinned.
“Hell yeah we are. Chloe, if you and Jade decide to go all girl on girl, let me know. I’ll be glad to help.” Adam yelled as
