How To Forgive - Feisty Series (5 of 5) 17 - Ring My Bell
~Slade Point of View~ The guys all headed into the restaurant to meet the ladies, and I sat on the bus staring at my phone. There was one call I needed to make, I’d been dreading it. But it was time, I couldn’t put it off anymore. RING RING RING “Darling! Are you still freezing to death,” mom asked, laughing. “Hey mom. No, I'm in LA. But uhm, I’m not alone and that’s why I’m calling actually,” I said, practically holding my breath. I was far closer to my parents than my brothers were, my mom and I were especially tight. She loved the band and their antics, for the most part. If they weren’t trashing her house anyhow. However, she thought it was a riot when they trashed mine. “Like … a female friend? More than a friend…” she asked, clearly excited. There had been a few women over the years I’d introduced to my parents but none that I’d ever called my girlfriend. None whose parents I met. Mine just happened to be around for events or different things. My dad was still the CEO of h

~Holly’s Point of View~ After dinner, we lazed around the house, and I hoped for a quiet night. Chase and Dylan of course were more than happy to soak up the hotel pool while the Pendletons sat on the phone talking to a realtor and plotting a million other things. They were dead serious about moving. So much so that they were bothering people on New Year’s Eve. That pretty much left me as the big decision maker. What I ultimately decided would be the way of things. And now I had two families waiting on me to make up my damn mind. A part of me truly wondered how I could go home. Back to a quiet house. A house with so much of my past … that I wasn’t sure held any of my future. If you’d asked me a month ago if I’d ever leave it, ever consider selling my parents’ house I’d have thought you were high. But now, it suddenly doesn’t seem so weird.I texted Chase to see if I could take him to breakfast … where to, I had no idea. But Slade had a driver on demand more or less, I was certain

~Holly’s Point of View~ “I gave the driver a couple options, you can let Chase pick, they’re all close to the hotel,” Slade said, kissing my neck as I finished my hair. The plan had been to take him to breakfast but apparently they all stayed up the whole night at a party the hotel threw. Ruby insisted the boys didn’t sneak any drinks but after speaking to him on the phone I wasn’t totally sure. I knew a hangover when I heard it. Yeah I was sneaking liquor out of my dad’s cabinet when I was his age but Chase was nothing like I was, he was responsible. So I needed to believe. I looked at my phone and it read almost 4pm. DING DONG “You expecting someone,” I asked, putting down my flat iron and unplugging it. He had already told me the driver would probably just beep when he was outside. “Ohh, yeah,” he said, jumping up like something was nipping at his heels. Me being me, I had to follow. It was a messenger, with a suitcase tied to his arm by a handcuff. “Ohh shit,” I whis

~Chase’s Point of View~ When mom stopped mid sentence her face looked freakin’ terrified. I saw a man behind her I didn’t recognize and immediately tensed. “Hey honey, sorry I was late,” I heard, and blinked to see the driver, moving to wrap his arm around mom. It happened so fast I barely registered it, but the driver stepped between mom and the guy and punched him in the face. He shot out his arm and jerked it straight up with his fist balled. It was like a total Chuck Norris move, and he knocked the guy to the ground. I grabbed mom’s wrist as everyone screamed and moved back. A gun went flying and I pushed my mom behind me, not even realizing I was doing it. The driver had his own gun drawn as he kicked the guy hard in his side. Suddenly everyone had their phones out, recording it. “Someone call the cops,” I shouted, pissed off. Really?? They’re all just going to record it but do nothing to help?? “Mom, give me your phone,” I snapped, turning around. “I’m… I got it,” she

~Slade’s Point of View~ “Why won’t she talk to me,” I barked to Goldie, as we stepped inside. “She thinks it’s because of the ring and it probably was, he saw the ring and figured she was loaded,” he said. I ran my hand through my hair and grunted. Fuck. “I was right there just as soon as he got close to her, but who would have thought someone would be dumb enough to rob someone on a crowded sidewalk,” he said, scoffing. They don’t care if they think they can make some money. Anybody can be robbed anywhere. I immediately felt sick, terrified she would leave me. She’d say she can’t live like this, in this world. Fuck it, I’d sell this house and move into a small apartment in a heartbeat if it meant keeping her by my side. The money doesn’t mean a damn thing to me if it means losing her. Nothing means anything to me if she’s not by my side. My mind flashed to how many times we’d made love this week, unprotected. I said a quick silent prayer about that, maybe it was selfish. But

~Holly’s Point of View~ I could tell Slade was doing all he could to ask the big question, and all I did was avoid it. Would I stay, or would I go? At this point not giving him a straight answer was probably just mean, and I knew it. But I’d managed to let the night and day go by playing it cool. I didn’t want to talk about things but it was beyond obvious now what Slade thought, what he expected. He expected me to stay. And… I mean come on, his mom’s ring? What had he said to her to make her think everything was that serious? As the night drew on I just laid in silence, staring into space. But it was the first night since I’d been here we didn’t make love. We didn’t even sleep naked. Nothing about Slade’s life would have to change if we were together. Only obviously he’d get me and a mostly grown kid… But he won’t have to move. He won’t have to give up anything at all. He’d have amazing sex on demand … if I do say so myself… And potentially fulfilling his life’s goal apparent

~Slade’s Point of View~ I felt like I was the king of being a nervous wreck but being able to hold it in and not show it. Having to walk backstage into the lion’s den, without Holly was enough to make me have a nervous breakdown. What the hell could I tell everyone? So what do I do instead? Punk out and go sit at the bar. Nobody knows my face, nobody cares about the manager. Well, the bartender does, security. The little people always know me. This place actually had three bars but I went to the main one where I saw a familiar guy. “Hey Shane how you been,” I said, getting the last available stool. “Hey hey! There’s the man. Good, can’t complain. Can’t believe the guys wanted to play here, couldn't be happier about that. The tips will be off the hook tonight,” he said, nodding. I dropped a hundred dollar bill on the bar and ordered a glass of Jack and told him to keep them coming. Drinking was never my preference when nervous, I should want to keep a clear head. But right now m
How To Forgive - Feisty Series (5 of 5) 24 - I'm A Cloud
~Holly’s Point of View~ I leaned back into Slade’s arms as the band played “Iris” by the Goo Goo Dolls. I’m sure the crowd wasn’t expecting three-fourths of the show to be covers, but right now there wasn’t a dry eye in the house and I doubted anyone cared. There wasn’t a person in here male or female with a pulse that wouldn’t kill to go home with Jude Stone tonight. God he was sexy. Far from the horny little 15 year old toad that was always naked in Slade’s pool. Always with a drink in his hand, always goading the guys into some dumb idea. But I wasn’t one of those pairs of desperate eyes. Not anymore. Even if I knew they were all hung and well endowed. Yeah, hard to forget. Not that Slade was small in any way, I was just glad he didn’t have the same love of public nudity. It was comforting to know there weren't pictures and videos of him hanging all out. During a slow part I looked over at Chase and he was staring right at me. He had a huge smile on his face, watching Slade and
