Forever and Always

Chapter 6

Ricky's POV

When I wake up the next morning I feel Ghost wrapped around me. I could get used to this, the warmth of his body against mine, it just feels so right. I lightly trace over the tattoos on his arm with my fingers. If only I could tell him how I felt about him, but I can't. It could ruin everything our friendship, the band, and who knows how the other guys would feel about us being together. On top of that he just lost the love of his life he probably doesn't even want to think about a new relationship right now.

As I'm weighing the pros and cons of telling Ghost how I feel I begin drifting off to sleep again.

Devin's POV

When I wake up I feel Ricky pressed up against my chest and I can't help but smile, he fit in my arms so perfectly. I have to tell him how I feel at some point, but I don't know how. I guess I'll have to figure it out.

The curtain slides open and Ryan is standing there.

"I was gonna ask if you knew where Ricky was, but I found him," he laughs.

"Shh you'll wake him up," I whisper.

"Well Jordan said we're stopping for lunch in half an hour, so if you wanna eat you might want to get ready."

"Alright thanks," I say as he walks away.

I gently start to wake up Ricky by whispering his name and running my fingers through his hair. Then I watch as his eyes slowly start to open.

I smile down at him, "Morning," I say.

He stretches, "Morning," he replies in his sexy morning voice.

"Ryan just can back and told me we're stopping for lunch soon so we might want to get dressed."

"Mm, okay," he says as he pulls the blankets up.

I laugh at him, "That doesn't look like getting dressed to me."

"Five more minutes?" He asks sleepily.

I look at him laying there and I can't tell him no, "Okay, but no more than that."

He rolls over and buries his face in my chest, "We were up too late last night," he mumbles into me.

I chuckle softly put my arm over him as he lays there. Five minutes later the timer I set goes off and Ricky groans.

"Alright let's go," I say.

"Okay, if I have to."

He stretches and starts to climb out if my bunk to get dressed. He looked so sexy with his bed head. I watched as he pulled on some black skinny jeans and a plain black tee shirt, then decided to get dressed also. I grabbed some ripped black skinny jeans, a black tee shirt, and my leather jacket then climbed down from my bunk to put them on while Ricky brushed his hair.

"Can I use your brush? I left mine in my bunk," I say.

"Sure," he says and tosses me his hair brush.

Once we look decent we walk out and everyone smiles at us.

"What are you guys smiling about?" Ricky asks.

"Check your Instagram," says Vinny.

Rick gives him a questioning look, but pulls his phone out and checks it anyways. I watch as his eyes widen and his face turns bright red.

"What is it?" I ask concerned.

He just hands me his phone and I see Chris posted a picture of us cuddled up together asleep in my bunk. I'm not gonna lie we looked fucking adorable. So I scroll through some of the comments and the fangirls were going crazy saying stuff like "OMG GHORROR'S REAL!!!" And other comments were just gibberish and of course there was also hate comments, but nothing we weren't used to.

"Aw Ricky look at us," I say laughing as I hand him his phone back.

I could've sworn his face got redder as I said it, could he like me back? I mean I thought he was straight but stranger things have happened I guess.He quickly changes the subject, like he always does when he gets uncomfortable.

"So where are we stopping for lunch?" He asks, still looking flustered.

"There's a Hooters on the next exit and Chris mentioned how much you guys loved chicken wings so I thought it would be a good place to stop. Does that sound good to you guys?"

Everyone cheers in response, the guys loved wings and boobs and if you could get both at the same place they were sold.

Jordan laughs, "I'll take that as a yes then."

The bus turns off the highway and stops in a parking lot not long after. They guys all jump out and head in, but Ricky and I still needed our morning smoke so we hung back outside to do just that.

"I never thanked you last night for staying with me after my dream so... Thanks Rick, it's nice to know that someone's there."

He blew the smoke from his mouth, "Anytime Ghost I'm always gonna be here for you."

I just nod, I don't think he realizes how much those words mean to me or how much he means to me. I don't know what I would do without him. We stand in one of our comfortable silences as we finish smoking then we head inside to finds the guys. Which isn't that hard because we a few fans surrounding them asking for pictures and what not, and if course the guys were signing autographs and taking pictures even though they were hungry and tired. As Ricky and I made our way over some of the fans noticed and asked for pictures and autographs, and of course we couldn't resist them. Once the fans cleared out we sat down and ordered our food. The seven of us talked and messed around while we ate for about an hour before Jordan told us it was time to get back on the bus. When we got back Jordan got in the drivers seat while the rest of us decided to watch a movie.

When the movie ended I asked Ricky to come to the back lounge with me so I could talk to him. I was hopefully going to open up to him about my feelings, if I didn't chicken out.
