Needing You #2 - Wanting Him (26 page)

Obviously I’m not the only one who’s ready for more, seeing as he is fully erect right now.

“Round three?” I ask excitedly.

“Fucking right,” he says as he slowly enter
s me making love to me this time.

“Oh yeah,” I moan.

He starts to move a little faster.

“Harder,” I grunt, trying to grab his ass to pull him in deeper.

“Shit,” he says, before he starts fucking me harder.

“Oh God Parker yes, Yes, YES,” I scream out when he pulls yet another orgasm from my body.
  He continues to pump in and out of me until he’s following in his own bliss.

“Damn I love you, but we
gotta take a break,” he says as he lies beside me pulling me close to him.

“Sounds good to me,” I say as I turn over so I can face him.

“Nat, no matter what happens with another tour, I’m not going unless you come with me,” he says as he pierces me with those sexy dark green eyes.

“I can’t just leave.  I have Nora and school and work.”

“I know.  I’m just letting you know I’m not going out on another tour without you,” he says as he brings his lips down to mine.

I pull back from him, “Parker
, I won’t be a reason you miss a potential opportunity.  This is your dream, I won’t mess that up.”

“Babe
, dreams change.  Yeah I love singing and concerts are awesome, but I love you more.  I’m fine with playing in bars instead of arenas.  I’m pretty sure the guys would be okay with it too.”

“Why?”

“Being on the road for as long as we were tends to wear on you.  We all just want something that’s fun and exciting.”

“Did it stop being fun?”

“At times, yeah.  I get its part of a job now, but I don’t want to ever get to a time where I hate it.  Before we could do things on our time and how we wanted and on tour you can’t do that.”

“But aren’t you signed to a record label?”

“Yeah, and we have an album to finish.”

“You get to do that here right?” I ask hopeful.

“Yes.  So we get to work from home and come up with music.  There will be times we have to go places for interviews or what not, but it’s different.”

“
You’re not stuck on a bus under someone else’s commands.”

“
Kinda.  I mean with our agent we kind of are stuck, but he listens to what we want and works with us, so we’re lucky on that.  Being on the road just gets to you.  I’ve had a lot of time to think.”

“Oh yeah and what did you discover?” I ask with an amused smile.

“That I want to spend the rest of my life with you,” he says with piercing green eyes.

“
Wh-What?” I stutter.

“I’m not proposing right now, but I want you to know I see that in our future.  I want us to have a family and a home with roots.  Our friends and family are here, so this is where I want us to be.”

I can’t help the flutters that are in my stomach right now.  Parker Thomas wants to marry me one day.  I am the luckiest bitch in the world!

“I want that too,” I say excitedly.

“Good,” he says before leaning in and kissing me softly.

“
Mmmm, don’t stop,” I say, as he slowly pulls away from me.

He starts to laugh, “There is something I want to talk to you about though.”

“What’s that?”

“I want us to live together.”

“What?”

“You heard me. 
You, me, and Nora.  I want us to live together.”

“When?
Where?” I ask completely shocked.

“Now and anywhere,” he says excitedly.

“Really?  You want to live with us?”

“Yes babe I do, but not here.  Your bedroom
’s right next to Nora’s and when I’m fucking you senseless, she doesn’t need to hear it,” he says with a sexy smirk.

“Okay, so where?”
I ask laughing.

“I don’t know.  I’m
gonna talk to a real estate agent tomorrow and see what they can come up with.”

“For an apartment?”
I ask confused.

“No babe, a house.”

“I can’t afford a house.”

“You don’t need to.”

“What?” I ask as I sit up in bed not believe the words that are coming out of his mouth.

He sits up quickly and watches me before speaking.

“Babe, we just discussed getting married one day, having kids, getting a place together is the first step in that process.”

“Yes, getting a place
, not buying a house.”

“Please trust me on this.  It’s much smarter to invest in a house than in an apartment.”

“I get that, but”

“But what?
  Do you not plan on being with me forever?”

“What?  No I do.  I guess I just never thought about buying a house before.”

“Let me do this for us.  Babe, I have plenty of money from the tours and the contract. We can do this.”

“I don’t want your money Parker.  I’ve worked my ass off to get what we have.”

“Look at me,” he says as he takes my face into his hands, “Let me take care of you and Nora.  You can still work, but you can focus more on your clinicals that are coming up instead of worrying on how to pay bills.  Let me do this for you, for us.  I love you and I’m not going anywhere.”

“I just.”

“Nat, this is for our future.  If you trust in us enough, then let me do this.”

“Okay,” I say with tear filled eyes.

“Okay? He asks shocked.

“Yes, okay.”

“God, I love you,” he says before kissing me again.

We spend the next two days in bed, making love and talking on what style o
f house we want and where we want it located.

Chapter Twenty-
Four

The following weekend gets here and we are moving into our new place.  Usually it doesn’t happen this fast, but with Parker pulling strings and what
not; we have our first house already.  It’s a ranch house with a wrap-around porch.  It has five bedrooms, three baths and enough kitchen space for Nora to bake her heart out.  I love it and so does Nora.

“I can’t believe you guys are
moving in together,” Harp says excitedly.

“I know right.  Kind of crazy,” I admit.

“Yeah, but when you know you know.  He adores you and he loves Nora too.”

“Yes he does.  We are very lucky.  So how’s Tuck doing?” I ask, watching Tuck help Parker carry in a television.

“He’s great.  Went for a check-up earlier this week and everything came back clean.  No more tumors,” she says excitedly.

“That’s wonderful.  He seems to be back to his normal self.”

“Yeah, he can do everything again and he’s no longer sick.”

“We’ll
, I’m thankful you guys could come and help us today.”

“No problem.  Rowan’s probably inside telling them where to place everything.  That girl should seriously take up interior decorating, she’s amazing at it.”

I can’t help but laugh, “She can decorate away.  This house has so many rooms she can take her pick.”

“Has she talked to you about Declan at all?” Harp asks curiously.

“No, why?” I ask confused.

“I don’t know, just the first time they met it seemed like they knew each other somehow.  They both claim they don’t, but I don’t know.  I feel like I’m missing something.”

“She told me the same thing, so who knows,” I fib to my best friend, but a promise is a promise.

“Have you seen the way Dec looks at her?  It’s like he wants to eat her for dinner.  I’m telling you
, I’ve never seen him that way around a girl before.”

“Maybe he does have a crush on her.  I mean she is pretty awesome, so I could totally see it.”

“Who has a crush on who?” Declan asks as he approaches us.

“You have a crush on Rowan,” Harper says simply enough.

“A crush, I don’t even know her.”

“Doesn’t mean you can’t have a crush on her.”

“She is pretty amazing,” I state.

Declan gives me a glare, “Not interested,” he says before walking away.

“Really?  What the hell was that?” Harp asks confused.

“No idea.”

The rest of the day goes by with moving and unpacking, and the evening is me, Parker, Nora, Harp, Tucker, Rowan, Nate, Luke, and Declan all hanging out eating pizza and talking about crazy shit that each of us has done until we all call it a night.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two months later life is good.  The house is amazing.  Nora is excited; we have a house again and she loves Parker so that works out great.

Parker’s out with the guys working on some music for their new album and I’
m sitting at home relaxing, while Nora picked up Avery and took her to the mall.

“Hey Nat, you home?”
Harp yells from the front door.

“Yeah, come in.”

“Can I just say I love your freaking house? I can’t get over how awesome it looks.”

“I know right, Rowan did an awesome job.”

“She sure did.”

“So what’s up?”

“I need to vent,” she says as she plops on the couch.

“What’s going on?”

“It’s Tucker again. He’s hiding something.”

“You think the tumor’s back?” I ask worriedly.

“I have no idea, but I swear to God if he pulls that shit on me again I’m cutting his balls off this time.

I can’t help but laugh, “I bet you would.”

“Do you know what he’s hiding?” she asks with a stern look.

“I haven’t got a clue, I swear.”

“Ugh, I was hoping you knew.  Is Parker here?”

“No
, he’s with the guys working on music.”

“Damn it, I was thinking I could ask him too.”

“He wouldn’t tell you if he did know.”

“I would threaten him
too then.”

“Seriously,” I start laughing a full out belly laugh, “You think he would be afraid of you Harp?”

“Shut up,” she says as she throws a pillow at my head.

“It’s been three weeks that he’s been up to something.  I’m not waiting months, not this time.  I will find out what the fucker’s hiding.  You
gonna help me?”

“Sure, what do you need me to do?”

“I don’t know. I guess try to get some information out of Parker.”

“You think he knows?”

“Yes.  Do you not see how often him and Tuck talk, he definitely knows.”

“Knows what?” Parker says as he enters the living room.

“Hey baby,” I say as I lean up for a kiss.

“Hey beautiful,” he says before he leans down to kiss me.

“You know what Tuck’s hiding.  I need you to tell me what it is,” Harp says demanding answers.

He starts to laugh, “No can do Harp, sorry.”

“So you do know.”

“Sure do.”

“Then tell me,” she pleads.

“Nope.”

“Ugh, men, you guys are so damn frustrating sometimes.  Why can’t you tell me?  It is some sort of bro code bullshit or what?”

He continues to laugh, “It’s no bro code bullshit, but it does need to come from him.  I can’t tell you, sorry Harp.”

“Damn it. Well when is he going to tell me?”

“Soon.”

“How soon?”

“Just
…soon.”

“You are no fucking help
, you realize that right?” she says frustrated.

“I know, but it wouldn’t be any fun if I told you.”

“So why didn’t you tell Nat then?”

“
Because, he told me in confidence.”

“So you can’t tell me either?” I ask.

“Sorry baby, no can do,” he says as he takes a seat beside me on the couch.

“This is bullshit,” Harp complains.

“What’s bullshit?” Tuck asks as he walks into the living room.

“You and whatever you’re keeping from me,” she scolds, giving him an evil glare.

“Ahh baby, are you still on that?” he teases.

“
Don’t ahh baby nothing.  You need to tell me or I will seriously cut your balls off this time.”

“I promise I’m not sick, but you’ll just have to wait
and enough with the cutting off the balls,” he says laughing.

“I’m tired of waiting,” she says annoyed.

I give her a sympathetic look, because I have no idea what Tuck’s hiding.

Tuck sits down beside Harp trying to console her, though she looks really mad.

“How’s school going?” Tuck asks.

“It’s going. 
Clinicals still suck ass, but I’m learning a lot.”

“I miss going to school with you,” Harp chimes in.

“I know me too, but UO doesn’t offer the nursing degree I want.”

“At least you got your core classes out of the way and got on the waiting list.  Now look at you go,” Harp says happily.

“Yep, only a few months left.”

“That’s it?” she asks.

“Yeah, but it’s a lot of work.”

“I can tell
, you hardly work at PowerTrips anymore.”

“That’s because these courses are kicking my ass. 
I’ll pick up more hours soon.”

“She doesn’t have to though,” Park chimes in.

“Yes I do.”

He just shakes his head, but doesn’t say anything.

We end up hanging out for a few hours before Nora comes home.

Two weeks later
, I’m heading into PowerTrips for a night of work.  Parker’s playing tonight, so I told Eddie I would work.  I need a night away from studying anyway.

We get to the bar around 7:45
p.m. and the place is packed.  Once inside I clock in and dive right into helping serve customers.  Parker goes straight to the back to talk to Eddie. That way he can stay away from the crazy ass fans here tonight too.  Geesh.

“Hey,” I say to Harp.

“Hi.”

“What’s wrong?” I ask confused.

“I’m telling you what; if you want Parker to live through tonight then you better have him tell me what Tuck’s hiding.  I’m so tired of this bullshit.”

“I have no idea.  I tried to get him to tell me
, but he won’t.”

“They are both dead
, I’m telling you now.”

Our conversation is cut short due to customers.  We continue to serve patron after drunken patron until the guys start.

Tuck makes his way up to the bar once the guys start because now he can actually talk to Harp without pissing off any customers.

“Hey babe.”

“Don’t hey babe me,” she says angrily.

“Still?
  You’re still mad because I won’t tell you.”

“I told you I’m not doing this bullshit again.  Either
tell me or I’m done, serious this time.”

“Fine.”

“Fine what?”

“I’ll tell you tomorrow.”

“No, you can tell me now.”

“I’m telling you that I will tell you tomorrow.  I’m not going to tell you while you
are working.”

“Ugh.  I don’t get why you haven’t told me yet, just fucking tell me already,” she says louder than intended causing a few customers to look her way.

“I told you I will tell you tomorrow, so you sweet girl will have to wait till then,” he says as he blows her a kiss and walks off.

“Jackass,” she mumbles.

“Heard that. Love you too babe,” he says as he continues on his way.

“Hey
, at least you find out tomorrow,” I say, hoping to cheer her up.

“I guess.  I just want to know already.
”

“And now you know you’ll find out tomorrow.”

The night goes by quickly, but I’m exhausted by the time Parker and I get home.  Nora had Avery stay over and I’m surprised they are both passed out by the time we get there.

I grab a quick shower before crawling into bed beside my sexy boyfriend.

“It was great watching you tonight, it was just like old times,” I say as I snuggle into his side.

“Sure was.  I love being able to see you from the stage,” he says as he kisses my head.

“I don’t know how you can see anything; those lights are so damn bright.”

“Nah, not really and Eddie has them so they aren’t directly in our face, that’s how we can see what’s going on.”

“Oh,” I say through a yawn causing Parker to chuckle.

“Get some sleep babe, I’ll see you in the morning,” he says as he wraps his arms tightly around me where I fall into a
blissful slumber.

We wake up to constant pounding on the front door
, along with the doorbell ringing.

“What the hell,
who is that?” I ask annoyed.

“No idea, hell it’s only 8:22 a.m.” Parker says as he climbs out of bed.

I follow him down the hall to see what crazy person is waking us up this early in the morning.

It doesn’t take long to see
its Harper and Tuck. Parker opens the door.

“What’s going on?” I ask through another yawn.

“LOOK,” Harp yells, thrusting her hand in my face.

“He proposed?” I ask surprised.

She continues to shake her head up and down excitedly.

“Congratulations,” I say as I give her a hug, “Let me see that thing.”

“Congrats,” Parker says to Tuck.

“Thanks.  I thought she was going to kill me in my sleep last night,” he says while laughing.

“You’re lucky I didn’t,” she snaps.

“You didn’t really sleep much considering the time,” I say pointing to the clock.

“No shit right, she woke me up at 7:45 a.m. to find out what I wouldn’t tell her.”

“Seriously?”
I say looking at her with a knowing look.

“What, it drove me nuts, I needed to know. I couldn’t sleep at all last night.  He’s lucky I didn’t wake his ass at 5:00 a.m.”

“Did you set a date?” I ask curiously.

“What?” they say in unison, both looking at me like I’m nuts.

“Just curious,” I say with a laugh.

“Well, I only have a few months of school
left so I don’t know, maybe next year sometime,” she says as more of a question than an answer.

“We have time to figure it out,” Tuck says.

“Better make it quick or we may beat you down the aisle,” Parker chimes in, causing all of us to look at him in surprise.
