wild and running || a.b. (series on hold)

Chapter 28

I lay him on the bed. 

"You know what?" He says while looking at me. 

"What?" I asked him while taking off his boots. 

"You're beautiful." He says as his head falls backwards. 

"Thank you." I say as I place his boots by the side of the bed and move on to his belt. He laughs, "Why are you laughing?" I giggle. "We're both so sleepy, and I feel kind of dizzy." He laughs. "Well, that's what happens when you smoke weed." I murmur while moving to his belt. "Doesn't it like... Heighten your senses?" He asks. "You could say that." I say while undoing his belt. "So is that why you're so goddamn sexy right now?" He asks, "It's the dress." He adds. "Andy, not until your sober." I say sternly while pulling down his pants to see his erection was poking through his boxers. "I thought we agreed on after, sweetheart." He says while dragging out the nickname.

I suck in a breath and try to ignore my steadily increasing arousal. "I'm not going to see you for so long, baby." He whines as I take off his shirt. "You need sleep, Andy." I say sharply. I remove my heels and brush though my hair. "Fuck... Your ass in that dress." He mutters sleepily. He's clearly struggling to stay awake. I open a drawer in his dresser and pull out one of his soft white shirts. I slip off my dress and put on his shirt. "You fill my clothes... so... nicely." He says. I don't reply because it would only make him stay awake. I exit the room and wash my face in the bathroom while pulling my hair into a bun. When I walk back in the bedroom, Andy's soft snores fill the room. 

I open the home screen of my phone. Andy's flight is in six hours. I look around the room for his suitcase. Has he even packed yet? I search the room quietly and find an empty suitcase in the closet. My head is throbbing from my lack of sleep, and my eyes are watering with tears of exhaustion. 

Ignoring those things, I decide to pack Andy's bag for him. I go through his closet and drawers to gather enough clothes for the two weeks he will be there. I also back his 'backup' pair of boots in case something happens the the other ones. I go into the bathroom and gather all of those essential items and put them in a plastic bag. Once I have everything,  I look at the time to see there are only four and a half hours until his flight... Getting sleep now will be pointless. I need to make sure he gets up. I bring his suitcase downstairs and clean up the apartment a bit. As it nears time for me to wake him up in time to get up, get ready, go through airport security, and get on the plane, I make him some coffee and make him an omelette with bacon. I put some Advil next to his coffee, assuming he would most likely need it. 

I tip toe into the room and climb in the bed beside him. I cross my leg over his hips and plant kisses on his eyelids. His eyes flutter open and he rubs them, "Rise and shine." I say with a sleepy smile. "I need to pack." He says hoarsely. I hope that's just a morning thing... He's going to California to record music...

"I packed for you." I tell him. "You did?" He asks with a tone of disbelief. I hum in reply. "Thank you." He says, his voice clearer now. "Breakfast is downstairs." I say while laying on top of him as he wraps his arms tightly around me. "I don't deserve this." He murmurs, his chest vibrates against mines with his words. "Don't say that. You made a mistake, it happens." I respond. 

"Some mistakes are bigger than others." 

I exhale and get off of him. "You need to get ready for your flight." I say while turning on the lights. "Did you sleep?" He asks while sitting up quickly. "No... Why?" "Your eyes." He says. I walk over to the mirror to see bloodshot eyes. My shoulders drop. I'm so tired, and I feel like trash. "It's alright." I say as he gets up. He walks over to be and gives me a hug, "I can't explain to you how thankful I am. I've messed up recently and you're still beside me every night when I sleep." He plants a kiss on my forehead. "It's okay." I respond shortly. 

I'm so tired I can't even speak.

"I'm going to eat. I'll wake you up when I'm ready to leave." He says while releasing me. I stumble over to the bed and lay on Andy's side. As soon as I my head hit the feather pillow, I was out.

Andy places his suitcase in the trunk and I strap on my seatbelt with my cup of coffee in my hand. He gets in the car and looks at me. "I'm so sorry. I don't even know what to say. You look so awful." He says apologetically. "I feel awful." I reply as he backs out of the driveway. "I shouldn't have done what I did." 

"Yeah, you shouldn't have." I reply in my awful state of mind.

"Sorry." I sigh catching myself, "I feel so bad and I'm really tired." 

"It's okay." He says sincerely. 

We reach a red light and he kisses me sweetly. I close my eyes and lean against the window. I dozed off  for a few minutes until we arrived at the airport.

All of the boys meet up in the center of the food court. "Alright, I'm gonna go." I say sleepily to Andy. "I'll see you in two weeks." He says. "Good luck with everything." I say as he bends down to plant a soft kiss on my lips. I hug him and he hugs me back tighter. I make eye contact with CC as my eyes water in exhaustion. I bring my hand up to my lips as I yawn.

"God, what did you do to her?" CC asks. I laugh softly and turn to leave. The boys erupt in a chorus of laughter as CC cracked a joke. I walked away with a goofy smile painted across my face, it was a nice thing to hear before I left. I hopped into Andy's Lexus and decided to drive to Marie's. I'll just nap there. By the time I'll get there, it will be a normal time in the morning, plus she's an early bird.

As I drive up to her house, a red corvette is parked beside her jeep. Who is that?

That's an awfully expensive car.

I grab my coffee and sleepily walk up to her front door. I give our signature knock and she opens up the door. "Woah." She says as her eyes widen, "Are you alright?" I laugh, "I'm just really tired." She leads me in and in the living area there are two men seated on the couch. "James and Clay stopped by to help clean up." She explains while sitting on the recliner. I sit on the love seat and place my coffee on the table. I look around Marie's new house. I love how everything is so vintage. 

"Hey guys." I say to James and Clay. "What happened to you?" Clay asks with a shocked laugh. I explained how I stayed up packing for Andy. "Of course you did." He says while sitting back on the sofa. In my slow state of mind, I didn't exactly catch on to what he said until Marie started talking about Andy's band stuff. I looked at Clay's face as he listened attentively to Marie. I laid back on the couch and closed my eyes. 

"Of course you did."

That wasn't a smart remark. That was a compliment. That was him pointing out that he remembers the type of person I am, and the things I used to do for him. I heard Marie and James' laughter ring faintly as I slowly slipped into unconsciousness. 

I hope Andy stays safe on his flight. 

I cuddled up in my sweater and quickly finished my journey to sleep.
