SHATTERED

sixty-eight

"hey," i answered lowly as i opened the door to saylor.

"hi, baby," she greeted with a smile as she looked up at me.

i could feel my face flush at the pet name. it's been nearly two weeks since halloween, when saylor started calling me baby, and i'm still not used to it. i can't help but blush every time she calls me it.

"hi," i greeted again as i placed a hand on her lower back to pull her close. i used my other hand to hold the back of her head as i leaned down to press my lips to her's.

she grabbed my waist as she kissed me back. admittedly, it caught me off as she did, because it was the first time she's ever grabbed my waist while we kissed, or the first time ever doing it, actually. i briefly smiled into the kiss, because, i can't lie, i liked how her hands on my waist felt.

eventually, we pulled apart, and i let her step into my apartment. we walked over to the couch. i grabbed my guitar before i sat down beside her.

"wanna hear a new song i've been working on?" i asked. "i mean, just the guitar part, at least. it doesn't have any lyrics or anything else."

she turned to face towards me, and she leaned her head against the back cushions as she held eye contact with me. "yeah, go ahead; i'd love to hear it," she murmured.

i bit my lip as i looked down to hide my face from her. i subtly shook my head with a stupid smile before i started to play the guitar.

"don't get me wrong, i'm happy for them, but jesus christ," jessie muttered.

"i'm more concerned with the fact of how the hell they're able to still breathe," miguel told her in a mutter as well. "i don't think i've seen them stop for air since we've been here."

it's the next day, and the four of us are in the practice building. me and saylor have been here for a while, way before jj and miggy got here. they got here not too long ago.

when they got here, me and saylor had been sitting on the couch. or... saylor had been in my lap as we made out. we barely stopped to acknowledge them when they got here. we continued on, and we have been since.

i could feel jessie and miguel's eyes on us as saylor's fingers tangled into my hair further. "they're just fucking shameless," jessie sighed. "can they get a room?"

i moved one of my hands from saylor's waist to give jessie the middle finger, though i didn't pull away from saylor's kisses. my eyes were closed, but i knew jessie was flipping me off as well now.

after a few seconds, saylor pulled away. she dropped her hands into our laps as she turned to face jj and miggy. "we couldn't have just a few minutes to ourselves? you really had to sit and stare the whole time?"

"well, like i said, i was concerned on how you two were still breathing; i was trying to see when you would stop for air," miguel defended.

"and i'm just not over the fact that you were doing this shit in the middle of the room, for any and everybody to see," jessie gave us a look.

"you fuckers haven't shut up for months about us wanting to make out or whatever, and now that we are, it's a problem?" i raised a brow.

"nah, nobody said that," jessie was quick to deny. "but for real, get a room!"

"yeah, i don't wanna see it," miggy shook his head. "i'm happy for you two though."

we gave them both unamused stares. saylor raised her middle finger before she, unfortunately, moved from my lap. "anyways... let's get started on practicing, huh?"

"we've been waiting on you two," jessie huffed.

"oh, shut up," i kissed my teeth as i stood up. i walked over to jessie, and i took their vape from their hand to take a few hits. i tossed it back. "like i said... you two have wanted this for months, so don't complain now that it's actually happening!"

"if we would've known you'd be making out in front of us," miggy started to say. jessie corrected him with "almost fucking in front of us," which made miguel nod in agreement before he continued. "then maybe we wouldn't have suggested it so much."

"we were not," saylor gasped. "you two are being dramatic as hell!"

"mhm," jessie hummed in agreement in a sarcastic tone.

me and saylor shared a look. we shook our heads before we started to get our guitars and amps ready for practice.
