Life on the fast lane.
Holidays
I had just sat down in one of our deck chairs when my phone started to vibrate. It was Alex.
"What have you planned for the next two weeks?" He sounds excited.
"I don't know, nothing much I guess, why?" I reply confused.
"Because I rented a house just outside of Huntington Beach for the two of us." He really sounds excited.
Huntington is about an hours drive down the coast from here.
"Wait, Alex where are you?" Last time we spoke he was back home in Baltimore more than 2000 miles away.
"I guess I am about half an hour away from your place. You should better start packing Babe."
"What? Alex, I haven't even unpacked from my rehab, I have no clean clothes. Thanks for the timely notice on this one. Are you crazy?"
"Yeah, crazy bout you. Just take a bikini and a surfboard, it will be awesome."
"You cheesy bastard" I have to laugh
"Got to go there's a lot of traffic and I need both my hands. See you." he hangs up on me.
And true, half an hour later there is a knock on the door and I open to a smiling Alex who hugs me pulling me off my feet. "Hey Babe,"
I kick the door close behind him and push him to the wall to kiss him, when I feel he is smiling into my kiss. "Whoa, somebody has been missing me?" He teases.
I immediately break the kiss. "Well if that is more than you can take I will have to find someone who can appreciate a welcome kiss." I act pissed off, threatening to walk away.
He grabs my hand and pulls me close again "No, please Baby, stay. Do me. I am all yours."
I slap him. "No, now you missed your chance, you will have to wait until I feel lonely again."
"We should use the time and get going, so we can get there and go to bed early! I am really tired" he fake-yawns.
"Hahaha, Gaskarth, I can promise you, the one thing you are not gonna get tonight is a lot of sleep."
I haven't even time to wait for Steph to come back from work so I write her a text.
To Steph Babe: 'don't worry when I am gone when you get home, Gaskarth came and kidnapped me for the next two weeks. Luv u. Speak soon. Easy.
I get my travel bag and throw in some clothes, my surfboard and my wetsuit and get into the car beside Alex and we drive into the sunset. Awesome!
About an hour later we arrive at what is probably the cutest little cottage I have ever seen. It is all white and right by the beach and has a living room and kitchen downstairs with a beautiful deck that wraps around three sides, and the huge bedroom upstairs with a balcony that looks out to the ocean, that now lies as a dark black pool behind the sandy beach.
"I love it, Alex" I say as I turn from the balcony to see him standing beside the bed with our bags in hands.
I just run into him and the impact lets us fall onto the bed together. "Right where I want to have you, Alex" I growl and he can't stop laughing.
This first week goes by in a flash. Alex is a real sleepyhead, so I sneak out every morning at sunrise and go for a surf, although he constantly scolds me for surfing alone. When I come back I am cold and salty and wet so I snuggle up to a sleepy Alex and we have amazing morning sex. The rest of the day we spend in bed, cuddling, eating, playing games, talking. At night we go out to a bar or a club and have fun and maybe a little goodnight sex.
Best. Holidays. Ever.
One late morning we hear a knock on the door, I am about to get up and answer the door but Alex holds me tight and whines "No,stay here, they will go away if we don't open."
"Maybe it's something important. I will just have a quick look and be back in a moment" I kiss his nose.
When I open the door I gasp in surprise! Alan and Austin are standing on the porch smiling like two idiots.
"What are you guys doing here" I squeal in excitement trying to hug them both at once.
"I said not in the first week" I hear Alex scream from upstairs.
"God, what have you been up to, first week is over since yesterday. No, don't even tell me." Alan shouts up to him.
"You knew we were here?" I say not getting what is going on.
"Of course, I told Alex about this place," Austin smiles "I come here every autumn for holidays, it's not so crowded and surf is still good. Our house is just down the road but Alex made us swear we would leave you guys alone for at least a week"
"That leaves us with just a week to have the most awesome time ever." I hear Alan say who had already walked in, sat on the couch, feet up on the coffee table and rubbing his hands in excitement.
"Let's start with breakfast" I smile and Alan jumps up immediately saying "you don't even deserve this girl Alex" to him who just came down the stairs rubbing his eyes.
We all enter the kitchen were there is a long dining table and the guys sit down and look at me expectantly.
"No, no, that's not how it works. I am not your mom. You are going to help me. Austin, you set the table. Alex, you look for the bottles of red wine that we bought. Alan you help me with the food."
"Well Its weird but you sound exactly like my mom." Alex says with a cheeky smile and gives me a little kiss.
Notes
Okay guys, I hope you likes Easy's story so far. Nothing is written in stone yet, so let's see. Hope you all enjoy.
Hmm... so just finished this, lol. I am a fast reader I guess, I only just started it. :O I read the first installment but I'll just leave my overall feedback here.
Ugh, the struggle though. I mean, I'm happy that Easy figured herself out and realized who she wanted to be with... I'm just very biased with ATL though, lol. So I was kind of sad with how this one ended too, idk.
This one also made me sad with how much I felt like the band members took advantage of her. Again, in the end she was finally happy, but it was just sad how horribly AA treated her and then she went and helped the one member anyway, even though I personally just would have left him... like c'mon, she could've been paralyzed for real this time and she still gave that douche another chance. I just... it kind of saddened me how she did that. He seemed grateful, but still. Sigh...
But, again, I will look at this from a broader perspective: writing wise it was awesome, you did a great job with it. And there was kind of a live and learn lesson with it, so kudos to that.
The only thing I was left questioning was that, okay, so was her and Alex separating their official goodbye to each other? Because it just didn't seem like it to me, and that seemed like it was never totally resolved, just like, a final phone call or something with him probably would have been a bit more clarifying on that front. But in regards to her other relationship possibilities, at least they were closed off, or opened up in Alan's case. But that's the only question I was really left with, I think. Maybe I just didn't read that part the way I was supposed to, lol.
But, great job. Onto your new one. :D (Which, upon looking briefly, probably shouldn't take me long to comment on since it's still getting started. So expect another comment in a few moments, lol.)
