What If I Do?

Chapter 20: Flirting With Disaster

3 Week and 1 Day Later - May 16

We were back in the states for a show and Abby had flown out to see us. Taylor was just as excited as I was. Maybe just a little bit more. He ran into the room Dave and I were sharing holding up two shirts as Dave was getting ready in the bathroom. I pointed at the one in his left hand and he put it on.

"Thanks. I don't know why I'm so nervous. She's just a friend," Taylor said. I tried not to laugh but he was just being adorable and I knew exactly why he was nervous.

"Uh huh I'm sure she is," I said back as I put my shoes on.

"She is I swear. I look ok though right?" Taylor asked again as Dave came out of the bathroom.

"Yes you look great now stop fucking worrying. He looks better though," I said as Dave walked over to us.

"You're only saying that because I'm your boyfriend," Dave said back and pulled me over to him.

"That's true. Ok are we all ready so we can go get my best friend," I saw Taylor give me a look so I added, "that's not in the room."

"I just gotta brush my teeth. I'll uh be right back," Taylor said and left with his other shirt and closed the door that joined our rooms together.

I shouted through the door that we would meet him outside and I heard Taylor say ok. Dave and I headed outside and we sat down on a bench and lit a smoke. We sat there and waited for T and didn't talk. It wasn't our normal comfortable silence, it was awkward and filled with tension. We had a fight when we arrived late last night. He had been flirting with some girl pretty hard core while we were at Letterman and I of course got extremely jealous. I put my smoke out and pulled a book out of my purse and started reading it.

"Ok this is really how we're going to be when we're alone right now?" Dave asked angrily.

"Well you could always go find some girl to flirt with," I snapped back. I closed my book and then turned to look at him.

"I wasn't flirting with her for fuck sakes," Dave said loudly and a few people turned to look at us and I covered my face slightly.

"Keep your voice down please. Do you really think I'm going to believe that when I know exactly how you flirt?" I asked.

"Ok fine I was flirting. I was flirting like crazy but we haven't had sex in a week. I had all this pent up energy," Dave responded with.

"That was not my fault. Blame mother nature for that one babe and if you got all that pent up energy, use it on me damn it. Flirt like crazy with me and make me weak in the knees. Don't make other girls knees weak. You get mad at me every time I flirt with some guy and I don't even know when I flirt," I replied back with.

"Oh that's bullshit. You know when you flirt. You're doing it right now," Dave said as I fluttered my eye lashes at him. I smirked slightly before leaning in and kissing him on the cheek.

"Just flirt with me and not other girls please. By the way all systems are a go as of last night but you pissed me off too much to get any," I replied. Dave put his smoke out and put his arm around my neck before kissing me.

"Hey pretty lady what you doing later?" Dave asked with a cocky grin and a wink.

"I'm watching this band perform. The lead singer is kind of hot. Might take him back to my room and screw his brains out," I replied with a smirk. Dave then pulled me in for a kiss and we pulled apart when we heard a ahem. We looked over and saw Taylor smoking and cigarette in front of us.

"The car is here. Let's go get Abby," he said and started towards the car.

I put my book back in my purse as we stood up and followed him. We got in the car and headed to the airport. The whole way there Taylor tapped his hands on his knees and back of the seat. He was annoying the driver and I tried to get him to stop but he just wouldn't. Once we got to the airport he got out of the car and lit a smoke. Dave stayed outside with him while I headed inside. I was looking for Abby when hands covered my eyes.
