Roadtrip

Izzie’s POV
“BRIAN!!!”
I heard his low chuckle and it made my toes curl in pleasure. He pulled me around his body and looked into my eyes deeply.
“Are you having an affair with your best friend’s girlfriend?” I looked at him fake mad and raised my brow.
“You have to admit, you are getting a little turned on by me getting that much attention from all of the other women“ Brian continued with a smirk.
“Damnit, you are terrible! I will leave you again if you don’t behave!” I gave a playful push against his shoulder, but he wrapped his arms around me even closer, giving me no room to move anymore.
“Ha! You can’t live without me!”
He was right, I couldn’t. He bend forward and kissed me softly and I got goosebumps all over my skin.

“What the hell is keeping you so long, Haner!” Matt came walking in.
“He was just telling me I should be turned on by alllllll the attention he gets from other women, I mean, look at him, God’s gift to women” I smirked.
“If you ever get sick of his stupid jokes, you can always move in with Tammy and me, we have a few spare rooms” Matt put his arm around me and kissed the top of my head.
“I got him on a short leash, he will pay for this later” I joked as we walked back into the dining room and Brian put the bottles of wine on the table.
“Ah come on, cut it out you two! We have told you so many times before, it’s so fucking rude to make out like that in public” Brian muttered.

We all looked over to Johnny and Nessa, making out again, Johnny flipped us off, not breaking the kiss for a moment. That surely never has changed since they had met each other. Nessa had taken Johnny to meet her parents two weeks after the charity thing, her parents loved Johnny, but the fact that she moved out at the same time... not that much. Nessa packed her stuff and with them coming back from meeting her parents, Johnny and Nessa moved in together, to never be apart again.

Matt sat down next to Tammy, who was immediately putting her hand through his hair.
“What did you do that made your hair ruffled like that?” she asked looking at him curiously. “Was it you again?” She turned to me with a large smile. Tammy and I had been close friends, ever since she came here to be with Matt. They tried the long distance thing for two weeks, but after another fight of them being frustrated that they couldn’t be with each other, Tammy had just packed her stuff, asked for a transfer to another branch of the company she was working for and knocked on Matt’s door, asking for a place to stay, which Matt was more than happy to give her.

Even Zack had found a girl, Mia couldn’t stand the thought of him being alone, so she took him out a few Saturdays in a row and she actually found someone nice for him. They had been together for a little over 3 months and I think they were going strong.
“Mo!” Mia called over to Zacky’s girl “could you please hand me another beer?”
Mo handed Mia her beer and sat down to Zacky again. Zack couldn’t keep his hands of her and gave her small kisses in her neck, making her giggle.

We were all happy, not only the avenged men, but also the avenged women. I looked around the big table, it was a great feeling to be here with each other.
Brian put away the hair out of my neck and leaned in, his voice soft and only meant for my ears.
“Iz, you would never leave me again, would you?”
I knew I shouldn’t have said that, it still hurt that I left him, even though we made up, even though he knew I would never do that again. That night I came back, was carved in our minds, to remind us of never wanting to be apart ever again.

I stormed out of the venue, leaving Brian with the woman. I barely made it to the car before I broke down in tears. How much I wanted to know what would happen with Mia and Jimmy, I couldn’t stay there, watching him being all lovey dovey with someone else. I send Matt a text, telling him I was tired and made my way over to my house. Mia had taken good care of it while I was gone and it seemed like I had never been away, there were even flowers on the table, but for now I couldn’t enjoy it, I wanted my bed. I got under the covers and cried myself to sleep, I never wanted to be in this mess, but it was my own fault.

After a few hours of restless sleep I was startled out of my sleep by a loud knocking on my door. I thought I might have dreamt it, so I turned back around, but soon I heard the knocking again.
“IZZIE! OPEN UP!” a too familiar voice screamed my name.... Shit. I would have to answer the door before he would wake up the whole neighbourhood, good job for someone who just got back. “IZZIE!!! I KNOW YOU ARE HERE! OPEN UP!”
I got out of bed and quickly walked over to the door “Yeah, yeah, I’m coming, be quiet!” I opened the door and Brian was leaning against the doorframe, barely able to keep himself up.
“Why did you leave me?” he slurred as soon as he had taken me up from my head to my toes and back.
“Brian, you are drunk, this is not the time to talk about it” I looked at him, not really knowing what I should do, it really wasn’t a good idea to let him stand outside, he was beyond drunk, who knew what he would do, but where was his girlfriend? How could he be at my door in the middle of the night?
“I deserve answers Izzie, I deserve them!” He pushed right passed me to the living room and I heard him plop down on the couch. I sighed deeply as I closed the door and walked into the livingroom.
“I’m going to make you some coffee, you need to sober up” I turned around to walk towards the kitchen, but as soon as I walked passed him, he grabbed my wrist, making me turn around.
“The only thing I need now are answers... Izzie... answers” his talking went more and more incomprehensible and I really had to make an effort to make a full sentence of it. I sat down next to him and stared at my hands.
“I don’t think it’s smart to talk about that now Brian, you won’t remember a thing in the morning”
“Maybe I just want to forget you, forget all about you and the time we had, you hurt me Izzie, you hurt me bad” he was talking quietly right now and he leaned his head to my shoulder.
“You need... to give me answers... Please Izzie...” I heard his breathing getting more even and his eyes were closed. I put him on the couch carefully and put a blanket over him. I got a glass of water and some aspirins from the kitchen and placed it on the table next to the couch, he would need that when he got up. Just as I walked away he mumbled “I still love you Izzie” and my heart stopped.

The rest of the night I barely slept, those last few words went on and on in my head, and I was scared and happy at the same time, when I heard movement in my living room late in the morning. Brian must be up, maybe it was time to talk to him, or at least see how he was doing.
Brian sat on the couch, a cup of fresh coffee on the table, his head in his hands and he looked up at me the moment I walked into the room.
“Hey, how’s the head?
“The head is fine” he answered curtly “Why are you back Iz? Why did you leave in the first place?” His big brown eyes stared at me and I could only see hurt in them.
“Let me make some you something to eat first”
“No. Stop walking away from me, I deserve to know”
I took a deep breath and started talking “When we got back to Huntington, you were so consumed by the job that I felt lost. I mean, I knew your job was demanding, but it seemed like you had totally forgotten I was there. Jimmy came back to Mia once in a while and I only saw you at dinner. I figured I’d make it easy on you and do the leaving, so you wouldn’t have to when you got sick of me”
He stared at me with big eyes “Why didn’t you talk to me?”
“I thought you would never understand, you thought you loved me and I didn’t want to fight you on something that wasn’t happening now, but would surely be in the near future”
Silence fell over us for a minute or so
“Why did you come back?”
“Jimmy asked me to” I blushed while I gave that answer. It was not the only reason I came back, I wanted to see him, I wanted to see if maybe I made a mistake. And I found out I did, but now it was too late.
“Was that the only reason?” He put his finger under my chin and forced me to look up to him, a shiver went down my spine. He deserved honesty for once, so I shook my head.
His eyes got a little happy in them and he bend over to kiss me softly. It was wrong, he wasn’t available anymore, and I wanted to tell him ‘no’ but just for a second, him kissing me just felt too good. I would hate to be the other woman, or the one he cheated on, this wasn’t right. I pushed him off me and he looked at me confused.

“Brian, don’t, I made a mistake and now I have to live with it. You can’t do this to her. You can’t do this to your girlfriend” I sighed and tried to create some distance between us, but he wouldn’t let me
“What girlfriend?”
“The woman who was with you last night!”
His face cleared up at once and he started laughing loudly, I was glad he was amused, because I was definitely going crazy here.
“That was my brother’s wife. They were at the release party too. I talked to them a lot when you went away, that was why she acted so cold to you”
I didn’t know how to react, but I had no time to think, because Brian was kissing me again and there was nothing sweet and soft about this kiss.

Brian’s POV
I knew Izzie and I were thinking about the same moment just about now.
The memory was burned into our brains, one of the worse and best moments combined in one.
When she just left me at the release party, stunned without another word to say, I had no other choice then to go after her that night.

After I had cleared that the woman at the venue was my sister in law and Izzie looked at me stunned I just couldn’t suppress the urge anymore. I had to kiss her, I put my hands onto her neck, pulled her to me and captured her lips with mine.
How much I had missed kissing her sweet lips, I wanted it to be sweet and nice but once I tasted her I couldn’t be nice and sweet, I quickly went to desperate and hungry.
I let her feel how much I had missed her, how much I suffered when she wasn’t with me.
I still couldn’t believe why she left me, she could have talked to me, not just left.
Izzie pulled away from the kiss and looked at me with wide eyes, “Brian, what? What does this mean?”
“I need you, Izzie. I want you, I missed you for way too long.” I grabbed her hips and pulled her onto my lap, sitting her down on my already hard cock.
Izzie’s eyes opened even wider when she felt my erection and I heard her breathing hitch.
“Brian…” I stopped her by kissing her again, couldn’t get enough of it, just when I had her in my arms again, how could I let her go?
“Iz, tell me you don’t love me anymore, and I am out of that door, right now.” I told her, while I placed kisses on her jaw and moved down her throat, softly nibbling on her skin.
“I… of course… I love you, Brian.” My heart stopped when I heard her say these words.
“But-” Izzie continued when I stilled and waited for the ‘but’, there always was a ‘but’.
“Brian, don’t lie to me. Are you not with someone right now? I couldn’t stand the thought of-” Izzie asked and I pulled away, I laid my hands on her cheeks and realized I had to get out of my comfort zone if I really wanted to convince her of my feelings for her, but I would, if that was what it takes I would.

“Izzie, listen to me. I love you, I never stopped loving you. How could I? You are the most amazing person I have ever met in my life. You were the reason I wrote that song, this stupid country love song. Because I didn’t know how to deal with the loss of you. Izzie, I tried to come to terms with it, I tried to understand, still you wouldn’t leave my mind… and my heart. This spot right here.” I placed her hand over my heart. “Was and will always be reserved for you. If you still want me, because babe. I sure need you to be whole again.”
Izzie’s eyes began to water and I didn’t know if that was a good or bad sign.
“Please say something, Iz.”
“I love you, Brian. I don’t want to go away again, I only feel whole when you are with me too.”
I sighed in relief.
“Tell me, Izzie. Will we try again, will you be with me again? I love you, I love you too much to not have you by my side. Please tell me you will stay.” I held my breath waiting for her answer.
“Yes.” Izzie whispered, her voice shaky, but that was all I needed. She could tell me more later, right now, I had my Izzie back and that was all I needed.
“We agree to this, right Izzie? I need to have you, now!” I would even beg if I had to.
“Yes, Brian.. I missed you, I can’t even tell you how much!” Izzie whispered and as fast as I could I grabbed her and swung her over my shoulder.
Izzie squealed when her stomach hit my shoulder and she began to laugh “Brian!!”
“Just tell me where your bedroom is?!” I replied while heading upstairs and carrying her to the direction she told me.
I softly placed her on the bed and looked at her, she looked so beautiful.
I undressed her and kissed every part of skin that revealed, trying to relinquish the feeling, finally after all these months I had her in my arms again, in my bed, in my life.
I got rid of my clothes as well and leaned down, kissing Izzie and she grabbed my shoulder, trying to hold me up to her but I moved down, kissing her throat, her collarbone and down her breasts.
I buried my face against her stomach. Izzie’s hands gripped my shoulders. My nose draw patterns against her bellybutton, I felt her chuckle slightly when I found a ticklish spot. I let my hand slide up her legs until my hand lay on her clit and I felt the smoothness of her skin.

"Oh Brian” She moaned, and one of her hands moved from my shoulder to my hair and pulled lightly. I pulled my head back, and our eyes connected.
"Brian, stop the teasing." I grinned, flashing my famous smirk, she was as excited as I was. My lips move to her inner thigh, just an inch from her entrance. Suckling on the skin quick and rough and Izzie moaned loudly again.

I pulled away and grabbed her ankles and pulled her legs apart.
I looked between her thighs and couldn’t wait until I would bury myself in her.
“Brian, please.”
“Wait, Iz… I need to savour this feeling of you.” I leaned down and let my tongue slowly trace a pattern on her thigh.
"Oh my!" Izzie moaned and I chuckled from between her legs and let my tongue slowly run up the slit of her entrance, just barely touching the smooth skin.
Izzie began to squirm beneath me and I knew she wanted more, so this time I added my fingers and slipped them inside of her, and easily found the one spot that made her moan even louder.

I put my mouth on her clit, while my finger move in and out of her until I feel her clench around me and scream my name. How much I missed hearing her yell for me, come for me, I couldn’t even describe it.
Izzie was breathing heavily and I grinned at her, she returned the smile with a satisfied one of her own and I leaned forward and kissed her again. Our lips were moving slowly against each other’s, her fingers run through my hair, and I bet she could taste herself on my lips.

I leaned down on her and grab one of her legs to hook around my waist. Finally, I would get what I wanted the most, I would be whole again, would lose myself in my Izzie. I had her back in my life.

She reached down between us and her fingers slide over my tight stomach, my muscles contract at her light touch. She wraps her hand around the base of my cock and gave me a slow stroke.. I couldn’t suppress the groans that escaped my lips when I felt her little hands on me.

Enough of that now, I needed her and had to have her. I sat up on my knees and Izzie had to wrap her legs around my waist I flipped us over, so she was on top. She slowly sat down on my erection and we both moaned at the feeling of being joined again. I held her hips in my hand to steady her but she took my hands away and placed them on her breasts, I let my palms rub over her nipples.

"Izzie" I groaned when she lifted her hips up and slowly down again, it felt too good and all the foreplay made me so hot for her that I knew I wouldn’t last long.
Izzie was moving atop of me and I loved the view of her.
She began to increase her speed and it felt her inner walls began to squeeze me. “Fuck, Iz. You are so tight… I can’t… I…” I stuttered couldn’t form a coherent sentence in my head.
“BRIAN!” She yelled loudly and I felt my hot seed spurt into her and a few more moves of her hips I was completely spent. I was panting heavily and Izzie fell down on my chest “I love you, Iz. Please don’t ever leave me again.” I whispered and she nodded.
“I’m so sorry, Brian. I love you, too. I will stay by your side, even if you don’t want me to.” She looked up to me with a smile and I kissed her.
“Oh I want to, believe me.” I told her and pulled her down again, her head resting on my chest, my heart was whole again, with her so close, I felt whole.

Mia’s POV
I looked at all our friends sitting around the table. Jimmy was by my side and on my other side Izzie.
I was so glad that Izzie and Brian had sort through their problems. It would have been awkward to say the least if they wouldn’t have worked this out.
I leaned over at Izzie, she looked dreamy and I grinned. “Honey, are you happy?”
“Happy?” Izzie looked at me with a grin, “How could I not be happy?” She held her and Brian’s joined hands up and kissed his knuckles.
“I love you.” Brian leaned over her and Izzie smiled back at him.
“More than happy, as I can see.” I told her and she nodded.
“It’s so nice, to have this evening for us and all our friends, since the last weeks were so eventful and stressful, right?” Izzie asked and I nodded with a sigh of relief.
“You can say that. It was a lot of planning and working, but finally this will all be over.” I looked at Jimmy, who was in a conversation with Zacky and Mo, I smiled at him and if he could feel my eyes on him he turned and returned the smile.
“Are you okay, hottie?” He asked and I nodded. “Couldn’t be better.” He kissed my temple and returned to his conversation.

I looked back to Izzie and she smiled at me. “How about you, babe? You happy?” Izzie asked me and I grinned.
“Yes, but can you believe it? I mean damn, I’m getting married tomorrow?!” I said and all the conversation went silent for a moment.
“Don’t worry, Jimmy. I will stay real close to Mia tomorrow, call me her personal bodyguard, she won’t have a chance of running away again.” Zacky said and I glared at him for his stupid joke.
“Don’t, worry Zack. I will have my eyes on her the entire day and can’t wait until she walks down the aisle towards me.” Jimmy pulled me close and kissed me and I felt all the love in this small kiss.
“Should I keep an eye on Izzie, for you Gates?” Matt asked with a chuckle, which earned him an elbow in the side from Tammy.
I looked over at Brian and Izzie. Brian leaned towards Izzie and whispered “I will hold on to you from the moment we get up until we go to bed, maybe I won’t even let you go then.”
Brian smirked at her and Izzie kissed his cheek.

A year ago I was running from the worst relationship in the world and now, tomorrow, on the day of the first anniversary of me meeting Jimmy, we would get married. It was soon, but why wait with something that felt this right? I found the love of my life, I gained a whole group of new best friends and my life was the best it could get. Jimmy and I would leave for Europe after the wedding, but we had plans for next year. I grabbed Jimmy’s hand and moved my mouth to his ear “Shall we tell them about our idea now?” Jimmy nodded excitedly.
"Guys, shut up for a bit!” I raised my voice a little and everyone looked at me.
“Look at her, Bridezilla!” Johnny joked.
“Shut up short shit, you don’t talk to my wife that way!” Johnny opened up to protest, but Nessa grabbed his hand and told him not to.
“Jimmy and I were thinking. Seeing we are celebrating the first anniversary of us meeting each other with a wedding.... What about we make a roadtrip again next year? All of us? As the two year anniversary?"
“Hell yeah!” Johnny screamed! “But no van and no sharing hotelrooms!”

Jimmy laughed “Agreed! Let’s make it a Roadtrip 2.0, but for now, let’s drink and celebrate. To true love and friendship”
