Chapter 8
Carrie had offered to let their group stay the whole weekend with her and Flynn if they wanted, but only Reggie and Alex took her up on it. Ray let Luke stay in the studio with Julie, as long as they agreed to keep the door open, and Nick’s dads were fine with Dylan crashing there, but Reggie and Alex wanted to be together without worrying about the blonde’s parents finding them. Now, Carrie had roped Reggie and Alex into setting up the day before the party. Reggie was reluctant, but Carrie and Alex kept dancing together as they decorated and he overcame his resistance fairly quickly. Carrie had to run back to the store with Flynn for more streamers or something, so Reggie walked over and wound his arms around his boyfriend’s waist. “You’re so cute.” He whispered, pressing up enough that he was by Alex’s ear. He could see the flush that creeped up Alex’s neck, all the way to his ears, before the blonde turned around in his arms so he could kiss Reggie properly.
“Can I ask you something?” Alex whispered when they pulled away, playing with the collar of Reggie’s flannel behind his neck.
“Anything, baby.” Reggie answered, pressing another kiss to his cheek.
“The song you wrote about me-do you think we could play it at the party?” Reggie grinned, tightening his hold on the taller boy’s waist.
“If that’s what you want, baby. But it means we need to skip movie night to practice it.”
“That’s okay.” Alex hummed, dipping his head to kiss him again, “I’ll still be with you.”
“Gross, separate, you two.” They looked up to see Carrie and Flynn giggling to themselves. Reggie pressed another quick kiss to Alex’s lips before taking a step back, and they resumed the decorating.
The next day, the first song they played at the party was the song Reggie wrote for Alex, affectionately titled Blue Eyed Love. As soon as the song ended, Alex ran out from behind his drums and kissed his black haired boy. But a voice cut through the air, and they didn’t get to play another song as they turned to see Trevor Wilson standing in the doorway.
