Chapter Summary: Alanah wakes the following morning to a...surprise.

I let a groan escape me as I felt the sunlight begging for my attention.

My eyes shot awake when I felt someone tighten their grip around my waist.

fuck.

Fuck.

FUCK.

What did I do last night? Where the hell was I?

The last thing I could remember was Duff taking off my bikini top...

Fuck, I could feel my cheeks catching fire. Why was I smiling? I don’t remember jack shit! Why am I smiling?

I rolled over and immediately met Duff face to face. Well, atleast I know where I am.

“Good morning,” my heart stopped as our eyes met. What the hell was going on, and why was I but ass naked in his bed.

“Morning,” I put on a fake smile and replied back. I had no other option, panicking would only make things worse.

“How are you feeling?” His voice was soft and gentle as he spoke sending goosebumps through my body. This wasn’t what I expected from a rockstar.

“Tired, and every little spec of light burns my brain, how about you?” I asked luckily earning a laugh from him. All I had to do was smile and be nice to him, that’s it. Easy to do honestly.

“Want some breakfast? I can make some waffles if you’re interested,” By now he was out of bed and digging through a drawer as he spoke. The thought of waffles made my stomach do backflips in excitement.

“Sounds good, have you by chance seen my clothes?” I began to look around my room unsure of where the hell my crap was. I held the comforter tight around me, making side I stayed covered.

“Probably still in the basement, don’t worry we can grab it later. I think your phone is on the side table,” he tossed me one of his shirts and I quickly put it on. It was softer than a blanket.

I went to stand up, but my body screamed no.

What the fuck happened last night?

“You sore?” I blushed and immediately tried to avoid any eye contact with Duff as he asked.

“Umm...yeah,” my face was on fire as I spoke. I wanted nothing more than to disappear.

“How does a hot bath sound?” I couldn’t help a smile from crossing my face as he spoke.

“Sounds lovely,” I carefully scooted myself out of the bed and followed him as we walked towards the bathroom.

I couldn’t help, but giggle at his hair. It reminded he of a giant Pompom.

“What?” He flashed a smile at me that made my entire body go numb. I couldn’t help the smile that quickly grew on my face.

“You’re hair, it’s so fluffy,” I messed up his hair even more while our giggles filled the bathroom we just walked into.

It was gorgeous, to say the least. Beautiful porcelain tile covered the floor and a larger than life jacuzzi sat in the corner. This bathroom was bigger than my bedroom, and I wanted it.

“You like it?” I turned my attention back to Duff and nodded. He must have seen me staring, but could you blame me? This looked like it belonged in a magazine or something. Note to self, become a rockstar.

I leaned against the vanity and watched as he turned the jacuzzi on. He offered his hand and I quickly took it as he guided me over to the jacuzzi. I could feel the steam coming off of the hot water, and god it felt amazing.

Duff stood in front of me as he slowly began to take off the shirt I was wearing. He left a trail of kisses starting at my hip, and ending at my collar bone. He only got a few kisses in before I let the first moan escape me. After that I felt myself melt into him with each moan getting louder and louder, and it only seemed to make him hungrier.

“Jesus Christ if you keeping doing that, I’m going to have to fuck you in there,” he growled in my ear, but that only made me louder.

Before we could continue there was a loud pounding on the door.

“One moment,” I could feel Duff looking me over and when our eyes met, I knew one thing. He was hungry.

He quickly helped me into the tub and I relaxed in the warm water that had been calling my name.

“This feels so good,” I couldn’t help but mutter aloud as I heard my phone ringing. The jets combined with the warm water begged me to ignore the call, and I quickly did. It was a mini paradise.

I was quickly pulled from my paradise as I heard commotion coming from Duff’s bedroom. I tried not to listen, but no matter what I tried to focus on I would hear their voices. Their words were distorted, but their tone was unmistakable. Duff seemed annoyed to say the least. It was like he was getting lectured or something. I leaned my head back, and that’s when I noticed it.

A mirror.

Duff had a fucking mirror about the jacuzzi.

“How much of that did you hear,” Duff pulled me from my own reflection that was starring down at me.

“It was more of the noise I heard than actual...words. Seemed personal, so I focused on the sound of the jets...would you like to join me?” I playfully splashed him once I finished talking. The frown he originally wore quickly changed into a smile.....I really liked it when he smiled.

“My older brother and his wife gave these to me as a congrats on the new home present, but I’ve never used them,” I watched as he walked over towards a set of large black drawers.

I got out of the jacuzzi as he held up a variety of mason jars that looked to contain bath salt.

“What do they smell like?” I sat next to him on the ground with a towel wrapped around me.

He shrugged and began passing the jars to me. My nose was intoxicated with all of the different scents, Lavender, Apple, Rose, lemon, coconut and strawberry. I couldn’t decide which on to use.

“What the?” I looked up to see Duff opening a cloth bag and pulling out a ball.

“Those are bath bombs,” I watched as a confused expression crossed his face.

“Duff...how have you not heard of these?” Was Duff living under a rock?

“Are these the things you throw in the water and they fizz?” He examined the ball as he talked.

“Let’s throw one in the jacuzzi and see what happens!” I probably come off as too excited, but the idea of a bath bomb in a jacuzzi made me ecstatic.

Without thinking I hopped in and Duff quickly joined me. He pulled me onto his lap and I couldn’t help but mutter Fuck under my breath as I felt it.

“In 3...2...1,” he dropped the bath bomb and I couldn’t take my eyes from the beautiful pinks, greens, and purpled that covered the water.

I leaned back and let the lavender smell fill my lungs. My heart began to do backflips as Duff gently pulled me in closer. This was perfect. This was the most peaceful I have felt in a long time.

Duff began to hum a tune I didn’t recognize pulling me from my thoughts. I opened my eyes to see Duff’s reflection in the mirror. He seems at peace as well. I wondered if he was humming on purpose or if it was more subconscious.

“You enjoying the view?” I could feel my cheeks grow red when he spoke.

“Don’t worry I am too,” he softly whispered into my ear causing all of my hairs on the back of my neck to stand up.

“Hey Duff I was wondering where you were,” Steven came walking into the bathroom without a care in the world. Has he ever heard about this thing called knocking? Even though the water hid my boobs, I quickly covered them with my hands.

“Hey man what’s up?” I was put off by Duff’s casual tone. Was this a normal thing between him and his bandmates?

“I’m heading out, you still good for practice tonight?” I slowly lowered my arms as time passed. Stevie was being a gentleman by not letting his eyes wander, something I wouldn’t expect from a rockstar...what else has the media gotten wrong about these guys.

“Yeah, Alanah and I will probably finish this up here and I’ll probably drive her back to her place,” Duff and Steven continued talk about their practice this afternoon for a couple minutes until he said goodbye and headed out.

I heard a familiar voice coming from the bedroom talking to Stevie. It was unmistakable that it belonged to Sandy.

I heard a recognizable knock at the bathroom door. It was the one Sandy and I used at the apartment all the time. We had two knocks, the first was I gotta use the bathroom, and the second was I need to talk to you. She used the second knock.

“Sandy you can come in,” I said earning a laugh from Duff.

“Hey, Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but we have to record today,” I sighed as she spoke. By the look on her apologetic smile, she didn’t want to end this to end either, whatever the hell this was.

“Yeah work is work,” I sighed.

“Don’t be a stranger,” I turned to see Duff with a cocky ass smile.
