Stuck with you
Downfall or Cloud Nine
Amy’s POV
I had no idea what had led me to do this, to fall for him again and again. It seemed like whenever Brian was concerned, my brain chooses just any moment to completely switch off and that had happened yet again.
I really really wanted to stay true to myself and not get involved any more with him then we already were. After his first admission during the press conference, I knew it was all just for the press and nothing really true about it.
But now that he continued to say it, I really didn’t know how to handle it anymore. I mean why would he continue to say it if he didn’t mean it?!
But then again how could he mean it, when before he was so sure of us just being a couple with an expiration date, I just didn’t get it!
And when he talked to my parents, holding me, comforting me all the way, that was the moment my head switched off and I knew I had to have him, had to feel him again, wanted to feel his love, maybe he was just saying it but, what if…
What if he meant it and now I was just too stubborn?!
One thing led to another, the time apart, holding in what we felt ,was making us even hungrier for one another and we couldn’t let go. I needed to feel him and I felt the same emotions from Brian, it wasn’t just sex, from my side it hadn’t been for a long time, but this time it felt different from him as well, if I wanted to realize it or not, there were feelings involved, his and mine, but to which extend?
“I love you Amy” Brian’s voice sounded and he pulled me firmer into his naked sweaty body and I swallowed thickly, really? Now?!
Should I answer him, could I?
“Amy, I know it hadn’t been the best moment to tell you-” Brian lifted himself up on one elbow and looked down on me, his brown eyes having so much emotions playing in them that I had no idea what to tell him, lying never should be an option, but what if I told him how I felt and then he brushed me away, it being a spurt of the moment kind of thing?!
Why did I always feel so insecure around him?!
“Brian, please…” I closed my eyes shortly, trying to gather my thoughts, trying to think of something to say that would solve those confusing thoughts inside of me, but nothing surfaced.
“No, let me… I must have confused you with my words… I mean at the press conference, but I couldn’t keep them in. When I saw how you handled everything, how you acted, just you being you… I felt those words slipping from my lips and they weren’t meant for the audience, for the press, they were meant for you.” He leaned down and brushed his lips against mine, making me melt against him, open up to him without much of a second thought, this man would be my downfall… or my cloud nine forever, but which would it be?!
“You must realize that I thought you would be acting, right? And Brian I’m giving you this way out now… Please don’t act with me, I won’t be able to take that anymore. That’s why I distanced myself from you. I-I… I was realizing I felt more for you with the way we acted with each other, feelings were becoming more than just what we were supposed to act… but you always referred to us just being the pair for the time being, like Larry told for the press… but I can’t be acting and then when we are at home just continue to have sex and be available, I can’t” I shook my head and saw Brian looking at me curiously, what I would give to know what he was thinking now.
“I know… I know it wasn’t the best timing, and I should have talked to you before, or right after, but you didn’t give me a chance. Just believe me now, that… it is what I’m feeling. I cannot promise you this last forever, I just can’t but… what I told you now, what I said at the press conference, is true… I fell in love with you.” I stared at him and my mouth opened and closed I really wanted to say something but my mouth was too dry, my vocal cords not working.
“You can ask my friends, they haven’t seen me often openly admit to anything… that is why they reacted the way they did at the conference, it wasn’t about us doing a good job there, babe. It was about me finally finding the balls to admit what I feel for you… what I want with you.” Brian’s voice was soft and he brushed hair from my face and I nodded, laying my cheek firmer into his hand and he gave me a small smile.
“Will you… will you think about what I said? About us, being together…” Brian asked and I nodded, of course I would, his words probably wouldn’t leave my mind for the whole night that was coming ahead of us.
“That’s good” Brian cuddled in closer, his head resting next to mine and just before I fell asleep his voice sounded again.
“We have the Haner family dinner tomorrow at my parents… with my brother and sister, I told you, right?” Brian asked and when I wanted to turn around and stare at him bewildered, he just kept a firm grip until I relaxed back against him.
“It will be fine… they saw you in the press conference, and my step mom already adored you, nothing to worry about…” His voice in my ear was hypnotic and soon I felt myself being consumed by sleep.
I woke up and smelled coffee and the sun was already shining brightly, I tried to blink my eyes open and found Brian at the side of my bed, with a cup in his head.
“Hey sleepyhead… Don’t you want to get up?” He smiled and damn, he was shirtless, just in his shorts, which were hanging low on his lean hips, making my mouth water for more of him.
“How did you sleep?” Brian sat beside me on the bed and looked at me with his head held to the side, and I tried to push the naughty thoughts out of my head to answer him something properly.
“Like a stone” I answered honestly and he nodded “Me too, it was good to have you beside me again” He gave me a smirk “And you drained all of my energy, so that helped as well” He gave me a wink and I lifted my eyebrow, while I felt a blush straining my cheeks.
“I hope you won’t say things like that later when we are at your parents, and talking about that, how did you organize a family dinner?! Why now?!” I demanded and let the sheets fall from my grip which made Brian’s eyes move down looking at my now exposed chest, which in return made me feel hot and cold right away when his eyes moved over me, my nipples puckered begging for attention and I tried to quickly hide my reaction from him.
I lifted the blanket back up and looked into his eyes, which were still directed downward, licking his lips, he made my want for him even worse.
“Brian?” My voice sounded a little too husky, so I coughed and tried again “Brian?”
“Huh?” He finally looked up to me, that boyish grin on his face and I rolled my eyes “Why did you make an appointment now? With such a short notice… I need more time to prepare myself meeting all your family… I mean-” I stuttered a little, I hated to be cornered like that.
“Babe, Suzy called… and her last sentence was the invitation before hanging up. I couldn’t say or do anything against it. It will be fine I promise, you know my dad already… He is the worst from them… so you should be fine. I will make sure that he won’t be too bad, okay?” Brian grinned and I nodded finally, what other choice did I have?
“I will get back at you when I introduce you to my parents, in person” I muttered and Brian’s eyes lit up as if I said something amazing, but why? Would he be excited to meet my parents? My dad wasn’t a big fan of him, I could see that through the video chat, but then again… which dad was a fan of any guy they know their daughter was with?!
Matt’s POV
I woke up with Sara in my arms, and I could really get used to it. Thing was… I fell back asleep and when I woke up again she wasn’t in my arms anymore.
“Babe?” I looked around, my arms stretching out, but only feeling the cold sheet, where the hell was she?!
“Babe!” I yelled a little louder and still no sign from her, I should really put her on a leach.
I rubbed my eyes and then slowly sat up, I grabbed my boxers from the ground and slid into them, I put flip flops on and began wandering through my house, in search for my girl. I walked to her room, knowing my workaholic babe, I found the laptop open, tons of mails opened, some of them in the middle of an answer, others already printed and the papers lying around the bed and even floor.
I grinned, I should really think about a office room for her, and wouldn’t this room be perfect. I could set up a huge desk for her, a nice chair, some cupboards for her files… she could be easily working from my home, no need to go to some stupid office building, and if she looked out of the window she could even see the beach. What more did you want?
I saved the open Mails and every open document before closing the laptop, afraid the battery was running low and she would lose her work from today and had to start again, maybe I was thoughtful and maybe I was a little selfish, because I wanted her time with me, and not behind the computer and more than she already was.
I walked down and found coffee in the kitchen, I poured me a cup and walked into the living room, no sign of her, then I heard her voice, coming from outside. I walked through the kitchen to the terrace and found her pacing there, the sliding door just ajar, coffee in one hand phone in the other holding it to her ear.
“Don’t worry. I know… I know…How about-” She stopped midsentence probably interrupted from the other person.
She sighed heavily “That’s what I was about to say, how about I wake Matt and we come over, we can talk… make you ready, and everything will be fine, how does that sound?” She asked and I smiled, so it was Amy.
And that would be my opportunity to talk to Brian, so Sara and I could get to work, if they haven’t figured it out by themselves now.
“Okay, give us 30 minutes… I know, bye” She hung up and turned around, running directly into my chest.
“Oh.. hey! I thought you were still asleep” Sara looked up her grey eyes stormy, which made me frown, was she concerned about something?
“Woke up and found the bed a little too lonely and a little too cold, since when have you been up and working? And what is going on with Amy?” I asked and Sara gave me a smile, while she laid her arms around me, her head resting on my chest.
“About two hours, I got some good work done… still not as much as I usually do, but I can continue later… Amy needs me… do you want to come with me, or-” Sara looked up and I grinned.
“Of course I’m coming with you, silly. I think we can check out what is going on between those two, don’t forget we have a deal to uphold. But why does Amy need you anyway?” I walked with Sara in my arms back inside and she chuckled.
“Brian told her they gonna have a Haner family dinner, with his parents, brother and sister… so Amy is about to freak out… and I need to help her calm down. Then I will support her to get ready, and as you said we can also check out how the Haners household is doing at the moment.” She smirked and I nodded.
“So we should better get ready, huh?” I grinned at her lifting my eyebrow and let my eyes wander up and down her body.
“No no no, you heard me I told her we would be there in 30 minutes, we have to shower and get dressed and no funny business, Matt. We will never be in time and Amy needs to get ready!” She quickly pulled away from me and left me sighing heavily.
“But you didn’t give me enough attention this morning, I woke up alone and lonely… you have to-” But before I could finish my sentence she was already out of sight and I heard the bathroom door fall shut.
I took my cup back in my hand and drank the rest of my coffee, this girl would be the ruin of me. I went back upstairs took some fresh clothes from my wardrobe and got ready in my other bathroom, when I walked down the stairs I saw Sara already waiting for me at the door tapping her foot.
“Come on, come on!” She opened the door and nearly pushed me outside “Hey… we will be there in 5, no need to hurry, babe” I chuckled lightly at her and she just hurried to the car, but before she could open up I had already joined her and opened the door for her and helped her inside. I leaned in and pecked her lips “This always has to have time, babe” I winked at her and she nodded “Absolutely"
We arrived at Brian’s house and Amy already stood at the door, she dragged Sara inside and they vanished upstairs to check Amy’s wardrobe or something while I joined Brian in the kitchen.
“So, did you talk to Amy? Give me a status update, my friend” I grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and sat down opposite of Brian.
He gave me his signature smirk and I joined in right away “So you made up? She said the words as well?” I was getting apparently ahead of myself because Brian’s smile fell from his lips.
“No… she didn’t say anything back… not yet… at least” He looked up to the stairs where we heard the girls laughing at something.
“But?” I asked and Brian’s eyes turned back to me.
“But I talked to her, I explained myself… we talked to her parents, and we made love, and I mean it… it was something… it was-”
“Haner, you are like a brother to me please spare me the details… god!” I faked a shiver and Brian slapped the back of my head.
“I wanted to say that I saw in Amy’s eyes that she felt more too. And she said she will think about my words, I hope it’s just a matter of time until she realizes that I am honest and if she would be honest as well… that we can be together.” Brian’s smile returned to his face and I nodded satisfied.
“That’s what I wanted to hear, you and Amy being just as much of a perfect couple as Sara and I are-” My phone beeped and I frowned, who could be writing me now?
I pulled the phone out and looked at the message.
Are you home in an hour? We need to talk.
I frowned at the message but before I could concentrate on it again Sara’s voice roused me from my thoughts “Don’t you think Amy looks perfect in this?” Sara asked and I looked up from my phone and put it back into my pocket.
“Yes, perfect” I heard Brian’s voice next to me and directed my eyes away from Sara and over to Amy.
“You looked really good” I nodded approvingly but the moment it took me to answer seemed to be the mistake I made.
“Matt is right, it’s not perfect… We need to find something else” Amy shook her head and looked panicked at Sara and she gave me a narrowed eyed look.
“I have an idea, how you girls go shopping, I’ll take you. I mean, it’s my fault the dinner is on such a short notice, let me at least make it up in buying you the perfect dress?” Brian stepped forward and Sara’s and Amy’s eyes began to lighten up and I chuckled, how easily those girls could be swayed but then both girls began shaking their head at the same time.
“I’ll find something in my suitcase, don’t worry, you don’t need to spend money on me.” Amy smiled at Brian being completely honest but Brian shook his head.
“I insist on it. Sanders, you coming along, or what?” Brian asked and thought back to the message on my phone.
I had no idea what had led me to do this, to fall for him again and again. It seemed like whenever Brian was concerned, my brain chooses just any moment to completely switch off and that had happened yet again.

“No, if it’s okay for you I’ll pass on that, but if you want to make a quick stop at my home later on, be my guest…” I grinned and Sara chuckled “You had enough shopping trips with me lately, huh?” She patted my cheek lovingly and I pecked her lips “How about you buy something nice for yourself too, so I can unwrap you later… Because you still owe me some-” I leaned in to Sara’s ear nipped on her ear shell and let my voice dip really low “-loving, my dear”
Notes
