Past

Lucas

"I'm only getting cheap clothes." She says sternly.

"Okay, I know this one place that might work. Let me see your phone, Stan." He hands it over and I look at his photos for the map. It tells me the store is halfway down. I take her hand in mine and leave the arcade.

We enter the store and her eyes are looking all over at the different clothes. "Can I pick what you get?" I ask her giving her hopeful eyes. She looks over my face and I don't know what she is trying to find but her eyes soften.

"Okay," She says and gives me a small smile her already sun-kissed cheeks turning pinker.

Fuck, she is so beautiful.

I like seeing her long legs so I bring her over to the dress area. I did not see anything I liked until a yellow-to-orange ombre sundress stood out to me. It reminds me of sunshine and that's how I view her my personal sun keeping the clouds at bay.

Then I see it in a lavender dress that's shorter than what she has on with thin spaghetti straps and it's backless. Just thinking about how she will look in this has me getting hard.

I need one more. I look through them but I'm not seeing any I would like until I spot a yellow skater dress. It's plain but it's cute. It has little capped sleeves and the bottom is slightly pleated so If we dance it would twirl in the wind.

"Let's try these." I carry them for her into the dressing room area. She takes them and heads inside and shuts the curtain. The first dress she comes out in is the skater dress. It's so cute on her and fits her just right. "Very cute, that's a yes."

She nods her head and goes back inside. It takes a few minutes but then she's out with the yellow and orange dress and she looks so damn pretty. "You look so pretty, this is a yes as well."

She smiles and goes back to the dressing room.

I'm anticipating her coming out in that lavender dress. My heart is already beating out of control. She moves the curtain and she steps out. My eyes widen and all the air has been expelled from my lungs. She is waiting for my approval.

"It's..." I can't find words so I just gawk at her.

She looks nervous all of a sudden. "I'll go change."

"No!" I yell out and it startles her at first and makes Stan jump. I quickly stand up and rush over to her. I corral her into the dressing room and close the curtain.

"It's... You..." I lean into her until her back is against the wall. "You look perfect. Absolutely stunning. Beautiful isn't even a strong enough word to describe you." I say while reaching behind her and trailing my fingers around her bare back. She turns the brightest shade of pink I've seen her so far. I kiss her cheek then her ear lobe and then down her neck and to her shoulder.

"Mmm," Is the noise the lets out. It gets me even harder which I thought wouldn't be possible at the current state I was in. I press my erection into her. "Lucas," she gasps out in a whisper sounding pleasured. I run my hands down her sides.

"Would you wear this on our birthday?" I ask her my voice husky.

"Yes, I will." Her eyes become hooded.

"Will you let me unwrap my present?" I ask in an erotic whisper.

I go into to kiss her but she gently turns her head. My heart cracks as if a fracture was forming through it. I kiss her temple gather my senses and control then leave the dressing room.

Stan is looking at me with both eyebrows raised. I can tell he sees the change in my emotional state. He eyes me warily but he goes back to his puppy game. The cutesy barking would make me smile usually but I feel empty all of a sudden. She comes out of the dressing room walking quickly takes me by the hand and hugs me tightly to her. My sadness is instantly lifted.

"You need underwear too," I tell her. "Can I pick those out as well?" My voice sounded deeper from arousal.

She smiles wide while flushing the brightest shade of pink. "Okay, I'm curious what you will pick."

I make my way over to the underwear counter my eyes glancing over them. I see a pair of white panties that look promising so I get closer to them for a better view. They are a lacy pair and look innocent just like her. I pick them up and move on to another. There is a pair of the same shade of lavender they are sheer and see-through and a thong. I love those so I take them. I browse more and see a yellow plain cotton brief with a bow on the front. I really liked her similar pink one so I grabbed that one.

"How are these choices? I lift them up to show her." I say it eagerly and the saleslady looks over at us.

Now Jen actually looks red in the face. She grabs them. "Those are fine."

"You need bras. Can I also pick those out?" I raise one eyebrow and smirk at her.

"You've picked enough." She laughs and walks away. I notice she only grabs two bras a white and a yellow.

"You're missing one."

"No, I have plenty."

"Well, what bra are you going to wear with the purple dress?"

"It's backless I will be wearing none." She turns her face away from me. My mouth begins to salivate. My brain is freaking out and imagining her bare breasts once I take off her dress. Fuck, she drives me crazy.

"You also need a bikini for when we go to the pool," I say looking at her with a flirty smirk. "Can I pick it out as well?" My smirk turns into a wide smile.

She smiles wide as well as if mine was infectious. The fact that I make her happy leaves me elated. Being around her is like a high that I don't want to come down from. Instead of my head in the clouds, it's so high and far away it could be in the horse nebula. This is saying something because the horse nebula is 1,500 light-years away.

I look to the back of the store and there's a wall of bikinis. I pick the skimpiest yellow bikini there is. "This one is perfect," I laugh. Her eyes bug out of her head. The reaction she has makes me laugh more. 

"Well to the registrar," I say as I grab her hand and wander our way over. I place all the stuff onto the counter and the saleslady begins to ring it up. Jen makes small talk with her but all I can think about is Jen and how sweet and pretty she is.

"You're really lucky to have a boyfriend who will come shopping with you," The sales lady says. I'm waiting on bated breath to see what she will say.

"Yeah, he is really wonderful." She turns her head and gives me a small smile. I lean in and kiss her on the cheek. I grab the bag so I can carry it for her.

"It's getting later we still need to eat and you need to get ready for the show. You have sound check and a meet and greet."

"I'm going to skip the sound check. Let one of the roadies do it."

"Lucas," Stan breathes out angrily.

"How about... You do a sound check and we can sing together during it." Jen offers while side-eyeing Stan.

"Really?" My eyes I can tell have a happy gleam in them.

"Really," She says while giving me an adorable smile.

Deciding to change the subject I say "So I'm your boyfriend huh?" I'm giving her a grin even though I feel serious about this.

"You can be for the next five days if you want," She averts her eyes from shyness.

"Oh, I want. I so want." I bring her to me and pepper both cheeks with kisses.

"You guys are adorable and disgusting all at once," Stan says amused but grumpy.

We find our way to the food court and look around deciding where we want to go. "I'm feeling like Chinese food," I say while rubbing my stomach. "That sounds good," She agrees.

We get our food and sit down to eat. We talk about Stan's puppy game to get him in on the conversation. Soon enough we are at the stadium for sound check.

We are both standing on stage with our mics in hand. I begin doing my vocal warm-ups and she mimics everyone I do. Which is so cute. "The first song we should sing normally but the second one we should do your ballad song and see who can belt out the loudest." She laughs at her own idea.

"That sounds fun," I say eagerly.

"Let's do 'Simply you', It's my favorite song." She says while giving me a shy smile.

"It's my favorite too,"

"Who did you write this song for?" She asks while frowning a bit.

"You, I was just waiting for you," I say with my heart beating loudly in my chest.

She looks at me skeptically. "Seriously, who?" She furrows her brow.

"Like I said it wasn't about anyone but my future dream girl and that's you." Now it's my turn to look away feeling bashful.

I look back at her and she is looking at me like she is angry and in disbelief. "I'm serious. Go ask Stan if you don't believe me." I say bitterly cause she hurt my feelings. Now I'm feeling sad and don't know how to fix it. It just takes me under.

"Hey, I'm sorry." She takes my hand and squeezes it. I start to feel fractionally better. I know the sadness hasn't quite left my eyes. Stepping over to me and trapping me in a hug she squeezes me tightly. She presses her face against my chest. "I'm sorry Lucas," She whispers. My heart breaks open. Placing her hand in my back pockets she pulls me even closer. This action alone has my depression gone and turned into something else entirely.

Jen lets me kiss her neck and other places just not her lips. I kiss close to both of her lips but on the cheek. I start to kiss up and down her neck. "For fucks sake, Finish the fucking sound check," Brian comes in roaring. I notice his eyes are bloodshot he must not be getting sleep.

I feel fury. There is no way he should be treating me like that. "Continue treating me like that and you're fired." I watch as if cold water has been poured down his back.

"Sorry, Sorry, Lucas, I don't know what's come over me," He speeds the words out.

Jen starts to sing the first verse to 'Simply You' smiling adorably. She sounds perfect. Maybe we should become a duo instead like June and Johnny Cash. I love that idea so much it breaks away any future thoughts of depression. She would be with me touring and we could be openly in a relationship. It would be perfect.

We sing the chorus together and it's like we were destined to sing together. I sing the second verse and then the bridge. Continuing the song we finish the last chorus together. The band behind us starts a round of applause for us. Even Stan and Brian are clapping.

The ballad starts and we both start to sing as loud as we can together. We both begin cracking up laughing so what we are singing is coming out missing words from lost breath. I get a serious look on my face and we continue to belt out the song. I have to pull the microphone far away from my mouth or else the whole stadium might blow up. She has to as well but not as much as me. The song ends and I get a smug grin.

"Looks like I win, what's my prize?" I lift her off the ground and she puts her legs around me.

"This I suppose," She laughs.

"I like this prize," I say while I squeeze her ass in my hands.

"Mmm," The noise she made earlier sneaks out her mouth. I fucking love that noise. I want it on a recording.

"What if a paparazzi snuck in the arena? You two need to start thinking with your heads." Brian says and he leaves the stage storming off.

Jen puts her legs down. "He is right," She says with a bit of sadness in her voice. I watch as she begins walking offstage without me.

"Hey, Hey, Hey," I hug her from behind. "It will all be okay," I say while scooping her up from behind into my arms. She squeaks not being ready for me to pick her up. I carry her all the way to the backroom without caring who sees us.

"Time for your meet and greet Lucas," Stan says and begins pulling me out of the room. I pull away and rush over to Jen and kiss her on the cheek. Leaving the room I look back at her and miss her already.

The meet and greet went by slowly. I just wanted to spend time with Jen. But I put on an excited face and showed excitement to each person I met.

----------

The concert is about to begin and I make sure Jen is in the best line of sight possible. The opening song reverberates in the arena. The cheers of the females in the audience are nearly deafening.

I walk out onto the stage and put on the best show ever just for Jen. Now and then I would turn my head and sing lyrics to her. Especially the lude lyrics. It's cute to watch her get flustered. I do a cute little sexy dance and the girls in the crowd go insane. I turn to look at Jen and she has an ear-to-ear grin.

I walk off stage and the finale is starting. I pull Jen into my arms and kiss her temple many times in quick succession. She kisses me up and down on my neck. A flame ignites inside me and goes straight down my spine. Since we have a few more minutes I tilt my head for her and she does it more. It's time that I need to go on but I don't want to. I don't want to pull away from this.

Knowing I need to go back on she stops and pushes me gently away. I can see the need in her eyes and my knees almost buckle. I run back onto the stage to get this concert over with so I can get back to her. I do two songs and then bow and leave the stage.

We start walking back to the room but there are screaming girls waiting outside. "Rose, I need you outside the backroom," Stan says into a radio.

I watch as Jen walks by them and heads like she's going to the bathroom. Some of the girls eye her as she passes and whispers to each other. She comes back out of the bathroom goes to the water fountain and tilts her head to look back towards me while drinking. Rose has now shown up but she brought Chad which is a good thing because we are swarmed.

Mike is here also but he's standing farther away. Jen walks past us and heads like she's leaving the building. Mike takes a few minutes and follows behind her. None of these girls noticed. The stadium security is now showing up and the girls are being taken away. I go into the backstage room. Scared for Jen, and upset that she was just going to leave.

Twenty minutes later I heard Mike's voice on the radio. "Package secure and at destination."

Where did she go? Did she go home? We waited the two painful hours. Each minute was a depressed panic not knowing where she was.

Stan checks outside and comes back in. "You're safe,"

I rush and get dressed in my disguise. "We're going out the secret way to where the bus is then walking from there," Stan says while in his disguise in which he looks ridiculous. He looks like Jared Leto in Fight Club but with a handlebar mustache.

The walk to the hotel is done and I'm putting the key into the room. The lights are off so I turn them on and I'm so relieved I almost cry. There she is laying in our bed her back to me snoring adorably. I quietly get my stuff, shower, and get changed for bed. I crawl into the bed as gently as possible to not stir her while getting as close as possible without touching her. Being exhausted physically and mentally I fall asleep in a flash.
