"I KNOW this ain't you, Brooklyn!!" Benny bellows as he enters the Cleveland house.
He's waving around Luna's Yankees hat in his hand. She's standing in the kitchen against the counter in a black tube top and black and red oversized swooshies. Long hair loosely pulled back.
"Shit." She scowls. "Where'd you find it?" She asks as she reaches for it.
"On the ground in the GOD DAMN driveway, Girl!" Benny informs her with a disapproving look.
"Nope." Luna shakes her head. "Blame him. It's all his fault." She points at Colson while laughing.
Standing in the dining room, playing pool against Slim. Colson looks at them both. Giving them the weirdest look EVER.
"Bitch, please. You wanted this Deeek." He laughs.
Benny and Slim burst into howls. Luna smirks and shakes her head while tossing up her middle finger. There's a black heart tattooed on it.
"With love, BITCH." She playfully sneers at Colson.
"WHAT UP!!!!" Rook roars as him and Baze burst through the door.
"We ready to fucking party till our faces fall off!!" Baze shouts along with him.
Everyone's collecting at Colson's tonight. They head to Cincinnati in the morning. Kicking off a month full of dates. They'll break in July. Word being that they'll head over seas in August.
Music is blaring. Joints flowing. Beers are cracked as everyone is excitedly talking about what to expect while on The Bus.
-------------------------------------------------------
Colson takes Benny with him to pick Casie up from school. He has an ulterior motive. Along with questions.
"Yo, Benz... You know that dude Tommy, Luna used to run wit?" He asks him as they split a blunt.
"Yeah, I know that Bull." Benny exhales.
"He's been hitten' her up. You think I gotta problem?" He asks, pulling on the blunt as Benny's head whips over to look at Colson; those are the last words he wants to hear.
-------------------------------------------------------
✴️Of course Benny knows Tommy. You can't make a move in NYC without coming across Tommy Eagan. Benny hadn't realized it at the brownstone but he'd met Luna once before also. It had been at a party in MidTown. Benny had watched as Tommy drug a screaming man across the apartment and threw him off the 13th floor fire escape. Killing him instantly. Luna nonchalantly handing him a beer when he had climbed back inside afterwards. Benny didn't know the details at the time, only learning later through NYC folklore that the man's eyes had lingered too long on Tommy's girlfriend. Luna. NYC folklore is just that. Tommy did kill the man. Over a personal vendetta. Not Luna. She did hand him his beer because he had a lot of vendettas but they all weren't her's to share. Luna learned early on that being with Tommy meant toeing the edge at all times. She had loved the danger and had no fear.✴️
-------------------------------------------------------
"Possibly." Benny answers honestly after hesitating. "Word is that Bull worshipped Luna."
Benny watches his friend's jaw clench. Colson starts puffing on the blunt harder. Never taking his eyes off the road as he responds to Benny.
"You make sure the bus is stocked." Telling him firmly.
Benny only nods. Not liking where Colson's head is. Or that Tommy Eagan seems to be crawling into their lives.
-------------------------------------------------------
Back at the house, Slim is running the table against Baze now. Windows are wide open; trying to air out their massive burn session before Colson gets back with Casie. Throughout the chaos, Luna sees Rook sitting on the steps alone.
"What's up, Pal?" She asks as she slides onto the lip of the step beside him and hands him a beer, he gives her a grateful glance as he takes it from her.
"Thanks." Rook says, clinking his beer to hers.
"You alright?" She asks, concerned.
"Meh. It's stupid." He short changes himself.
"Stop." Luna coaxes him. "What's going on?"
"I thought this chick was gonna hit the first couple cities with us but she bailed on me. I've been talking to Stephanie but I'm getting tired of being dicked around." He looks up suddenly. "Fuck. I'm sorry, I know she's your friend."
"Steph's dicking you around?" She asks Rook directly; Luna's not surprised with Stephanie and is instantly defensive of Rook's feelings.
"No... No... No... " He protests, putting one drumstick in the air. "She's not doing anything. I just like her and she of course has a dude." Rook sighs.
"Hey... New tour, new cities, new people. We have no idea what's out there." Luna tries to reassure her friend.
"Yeah... " He perks up slightly before looking at her with honest eyes. "I kinda just want what you and Kells have. That go with the flow, no games, figure it out because we're in love shit." He admits to her.
"You know what?" She asks Rook; looking over at him, showing her own honesty. "I don't believe in soulmates. I believe that we float in and out of each other's lives, giving pieces of ourselves to the other as needed. Sometimes for a long time, sometimes short." She shrugs with a smile before sipping her beer.
"I never thought of it that way... " He nods; Luna's words giving him an odd sense of relief.
"Perspective, Bud. I gotta believe that we're more complex than just one for one. Otherwise I'd be a fucking LunaTic." She grins at him while tossing him an elbow.
Matching her with a laugh, they're interrupted as Casie bursts through the door and spots them first. "ROOOOK!!! LOONEY TUNES!!" She screams, barreling towards them.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Ashleigh and AJ show up; completing The Gang. They order pizza, mozzarella sticks, wings and cheese fries. Drinking, eating and game planning the next day.
Rook and Benny are staying at Colson's. Casie's being picked up by Emma tonight but Colson and Luna will drive her to school in the morning. Seeing her one last time before they're off. Everyone meeting back at Colson's before picking The Bus up DownTown.
Standing in the dining room, Ashleigh asks Luna if she's nervous about being On Tour; Luna shakes her head and shrugs. "Not really... I've been on and off others before. What do you think about scooping up my friend Sam for a bit once we hit NY?" She asks Ashleigh's opinion as she looks over at Rook, who's chowing on a slice of pizza. They both could use the company. "I think she'd be a fun boost of estrogen to the pack." She adds.
"Yeah, I'm sure Kells and The Boys won't mind... And we're definitely out numbered!!" They laugh together. "She'll be at the NY show?" Ashleigh asks.
"Yeah, she already has a ticket." Luna answers.
"Cool... " Ashleigh tries to answer as Colson throws Luna over his shoulder and grabs Ashleigh's hand.
"I'm sorry!!" Luna laughs as he drags them both along with him.
Emma's there and Casie wants to say GoodBye. Huge hugs and loud kisses are given. Along with promises to see her on The Bus soon. Colson and Luna walk Casie and Emma outside. Luna squats down and squeezes Casie again. Standing up, the adults agree to see each other in the morning. Luna planting another loud kiss on Casie's head before she goes.
"Love you, Dilla!!!" She calls out as Colson walks them to the car to buckle Casie in.
"Love you too, Looney Tooney!!" Casie yells back as her parents laugh at them.
Waving them GoodBye as Emma and Casie pull out, Luna leans her head against Colson. "I fucking love her." She sighs, feeling a sudden burst of sadness over missing the little girl.
Colson kisses the top of Luna's head as he pulls her close; he has the exact same feeling pulsating out of him too, only amplified by a million. "I know, Kitten. We'll see her tomorrow. Come on." He tries to comfort her and himself while guiding her inside.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Finishing up the food, they drink more and burn harder. The music blasts as they talk and laugh. All of them getting a little too fucked up. Only Ashleigh making it home that night.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Finding their way upstairs, Colson and Luna are sloppy and drunk. Kissing all over each other. Stripping their clothes off as they enter the bedroom.
"I'm so glad you're coming with me. Now I don't have to find a new thot each night." He laughs into her mouth in between kisses.
"Fuck you. You're such a slutter butter." She laughs, kissing him back hard.
Luna jumps up, wrapping her legs around Colson's waist as he grips her ass. Running her hands through his blonde hair as she kisses him, it's long and he needs a shape up. Moving her kisses to along his jawline, she nibbles his ear.
Tossing her on to the bed, Luna giggles as she bounces. Slipping off her panties as Colson drops his briefs. He climbs on top of her, throwing her smooth legs over his shoulders. Kissing on her neck, he thumbs her peircings as she guides his huge dick inside her warm pussy.
"Oh, Luna... " He sighs out as she pushes him deep inside of her. "You feel like fucking heaven."
Colson thrusts himself into her as she holds onto his hips, popping hers into his. The way he plays the notes of her body, it's as if it was created solely for him. Which is fucking insane.
"Fuck Colson!" Luna pants, gripping his skin in her black fingernails as he rocks back and forth into her smoothly.
Sliding his palm against her throat, he kisses her hard before clamping his hand tight. "1.2.3. GO!" He demands, slamming into her with each word; making them both eagerly cum.
-------------------------------------------------------
Colson and Luna wake up early. Hung over and miserable. Both railing Adds before showering. One for her. Three for him.
They fuck in the shower. It's part of Colson's hang over remedy and a ritual of theirs. Smoking a joint together, he patches her shoulder and checks out her machine gun tattoo. Both look good to him. Luna pops two 30s. Tossing on a System of a Down t-shirt, cutoffs and black Docs, she fishbraids her hair into pigtails.
Throwing on her leather and shades, she sips on her coffee as she waits for Colson in the kitchen. Hating being up. Hoping that the caffeine will help speed up the drugs in her body.
"Fuck, YOU ARE HOT! Gimme that pretty little mouth of yours." He exclaims upon seeing her.
Luna smirks as he grabs her ass and kisses her. "Come on, HornBall." She laughs as her ass leads him out the door.
-------------------------------------------------------
"LUNA!!! YOUR GLASSES!!!" Is the first thing out of Casie's mouth as she hops in the car; waving to Emma out the window, Luna turns in her seat.
"You like?" She grins at her tiny bestfriend.
"I LOVE!!!" She declares.
"I knew you would!" Luna tells her, slipping her a hard glasses case.
Opening it, Casie squeals. They're the exact pair Luna's wearing. When she had found them, she had instantly thought of Casie. Immediately buying two.
"WHAAAAT!!!!!" Casie screams. "THANK YOU, LOONEY!!! LOOK AT ME, DADDY!! THEY'RE SO COOL!!!" She continues to scream as she puts the sunglasses on; making Colson grab Luna's thigh as they laugh at the little girl.
"I don't give a fuck what she says. This Bitch is gonna marry me." Colson decides in that exact moment.
