Banned in a book

Jimmy’s POV

I looked at my small bag, we would be gone over the weekend, driving to Big Bear Lake.
A place where we often went to when no inspiration was hitting us...

But I had a feeling something else was wrong with us… we didn’t talk to each other about it, but we knew it.
I could see it in the eyes of the others…
We were all buried deep in our own thoughts when we planned the trip and tomorrow morning we would leave.

I set the bag near the front door and walked back to the living room, I knew that something was missing, something important. I felt like something had been ripped from my grip, but hell… what was it?

I sat down in my living room and turned the TV on, staring at the screen, not really paying attention to what was playing there…
My thoughts were running wildly around in my head. I closed my eyes and shut the TV off again, nothing interesting was shown there anyway.
I sat there in silence, eyes closed and breathing deeply in and out, maybe something was coming to my head.
But only silence greeted me…

I opened my eyes again and pushed myself of the couch, while walking into the kitchen, my feet bare were making loud noises on the cold kitchen tiles.
I opened the fridge and got myself a cold beer. I took a long drink before setting it back down.
I stare at the closed door of the fridge, finding a note hanging there.
I took it off the fridge and read it.

Rev, was here waiting for u asshole! I wanted my beer… Coming back in an hour u better be here… Gates

I frowned turning the page reading my reply.

Fuck you, Rev

I chuckle at that and try to remember whose handwriting that was… Gates?
What the hell?
Is that even a name?

I took my beer and placed the note back on my fridge, with a heavy sigh…
Maybe a good night’s sleep would help me sort though my thoughts. Maybe… just maybe the guys could help me figure out what this name was about?!
If any of the guys was willing to talk about it…

While going upstairs I downed the last bit of my beer and placed the empty bottle on my beside table. I looked at the clock and knew I shouldn’t have stayed up that long.

In about 5 hours, we would leave for big bear… I was excited but I also had a feeling that it wouldn’t be the same…

Sam’s POV

We had packed our small bags and waited for Selena’s arrival. Brian was quiet again, and I didn’t like that.
He was so absorbed in his own thoughts that I didn’t know if he paid any attention to me or what was going on in the world around him.

“Brian?” I asked softly and he lifted his head up.
“Are you alright? If not… I can ask Selena to-” I started but he vehemently shook his head.
“I’m good… no…” He got up and pulled me into his arms, we knew us since what? A week now?
And god, he made me feel so safe in his arms…

The doorbell rang and I smiled “Too late for backing out now anyway.” Brian grinned back and opened the door.
“You ready?” Selena walked in and gave both of us a quick hug.
“Ready to go.” Brian replied and we settled in the car.
Selena starts the engine and a 4 hour drive lays ahead of us.
Brian sitting in the passenger seat, so he was more comfortable with his long legs.

The next thing I knew was that I must have fallen asleep at some point. I opened one eye slowly and realized it was already getting dark outside. I closed my eyes again but heard a quiet conversation between Selena and Brian, which made me listen a little closer.
I didn’t wanna eardrop but I was in the car so what could I do.

“He is acting differently… but that’s okay… we are busy… both.” Selena says quietly looking at Brian from the side then back at the road.
“Hmm..” He murmured but didn’t continue.
“So… you and my Sammy, huh?” Selena laughs softly and I cringed, please don’t ask something embarrassing, please don’t…
“Well, she is stuck with me… so…” Brian chuckles… “Or rather you are stuck in her?” Selena shots back and I wanted to facepalm myself. Please, Selena don’t…God this woman…

Brian just chuckles and then Selena’s voice got serious “Don’t hurt her, Brian. She was hurt enough in her life. I’m not saying anything else but, keep that in mind.”
“I will… but what… what happened to her?” Brian ask quietly and Selena sighs.
“That’s not my story to tell.” Selena looks at the review mirror and I quickly shut my eyes.
“But like I said, she was hurt enough.”

I wait a moment longer before I yawn loudly and stretch myself, so they know I was awake.
“Hey sleepyhead… we are almost there.” Selena’s voice was friendly and she laughs softly.
“Really? I slept that long? Why didn’t you wake me?” I sit up straight and stare at Selena then at Brian and they both shrug.
“I had a good talking partner, right here.” Selena patted Brian’s shoulder and gave me a wink.
I didn’t know what to think of that, and didn’t like not knowing what they all talked about.

It took us only 15 more minutes and we arrived at the motel Selena rented rooms for us.
It was close to the highway, and a gas station nearby, so we could move on tomorrow morning right away.

“I’m dead tired, so how about we just get our keys, find something to eat and head to bed? We need to be at the dress shop around 9 so we can’t sleep that long.” Selena looked pointedly from Brian then to me and I rolled my eyes.
“We will be ready, don’t act like that… Nothing will happen.” I told her and she laughed loudly.
“Yeah right… you can lie to your grandma, but not to me.” Selena said and walked towards the entrance to get our keys, while Brian and I waited outside.

“Nothing will happen?” Brian lifted his eyebrow at me and I smirk.
“Nothing. I don’t wanna hear Selena for the next years telling us, how loud we were in the room next to her.” I realized saying us and for the next years, I didn’t know where that thought came from but I knew I shouldn’t be thinking like that, Brian would be leaving… soon…
“I don’t think that would be so bad… as long as she says, how loud I could make you scream…” Brian leans towards me while saying that, his lips grazing my ear, making me shiver.

He didn’t seem to hear my slip about the future, a future that we wouldn’t have… we couldn’t have.
“See… that’s what I’m talking about… nothing happens my ass.” Selena’s loud voice made Brian take a step back but the smirk tugging on his lips made my knees weak.
“Here is your key. I talked to the guy at the reception, we get some food delivered in the next 45 minutes. I wanted to try and call Trevor, haven’t talked to him all day and I think you two want to have the evening for you too, right?” Before giving us a chance to reply, Selena turned around the corner and went away.
“Selena? That’s the wrong way.” I yell at her but she waves her hand to dismiss me.
“I took a room far away from you. Safety measurements.” Selena yelled back and Brian laughs loudly beside me.
Just hearing him laugh, makes me smile as well, his laugh couldnt be heard that often but when it sounded you had to laugh along, it was intoxicating.
“I love that woman, god…” Brian chuckles all the way to our room.

When we opened the door, the phone rang and I pick up “Doesn’t mean I can’t bother you over the phone.”
I sighed “What is it Selly?” I knew she hated to be called like that.
“Don’t call me that! Be ready tomorrow by 8, I’ll be waiting at the car. Have fun, Sammy.” With that she hung up and I shook my head.
“Tomorrow 8 at the car.” I told Brian and he nodded.

We put our bags away and righted the bed for us, Brian turned on the TV after watching for some minutes he turns off again, looking at me from the bed.
“So you really just wanna sleep?” He asks and I swallowed thickly, seeing his intense stare, his eyes wander down from my eyes to my lips down my breasts and make my stomach quiver.
“I.. I..” Wanted to say more… but couldn’t…
He takes a step towards me, his eyes never leaving me, like a predator ready to take out his prey.
“Sam…” He growls and I swallow thickly, still not able to make a sound, god he was so handsome and I wanted to, still knew that we shouldn’t keep this up…

He made me feel good, but I could already tell that I was growing attached to him and if I would continue like this, sleeping with him, making love… I would be fallen for him by the end of the month, if not sooner… but… on the other hand… how could I say no?!
I opened my mouth to reply and put my hands on Brian chest, the smirk came over his face knowing he won this round… again.

When a loud knock sounded on the door making me push away from him…
“Is she kidding me?” Brian groans but when I open the door a young man stood in the doorway with a tray of food.
“Mrs. Jacobs ordered this food for you.” He says hesitantly looking from Brian to me and back.
“Thank you. Yes, she told us.” He gave me the tray and quickly walks out again.
“Dinner?” I ask Brian with a smile and he rolls his eyes.
“Don’t think I will forget about my dessert…” Brian says and his eyes dip down to my lap with a lick to his lips. I had to breathe deeply in and out and concentrate on not dropping the tray.
