Best Days of Your Life

[lovestory]

Damaris Lambros

Many people told me I needed to put real dreams in my head and that someone from such a small town would never be able to achieve my dreams. I got laughed at by teachers and friends when I told them my dreams of wanting to move to Los Angeles and become a music artist. I didn't wanna me a teacher or a doctor. I wanted to play music for millions of people and have them enjoy it. My dreams came true and guess who is laughing now.

My name is Damaris Lambros, but everyone calls me Maris. I am twenty years old and I was born and raised in a small New Jersey town, about thrity minutes outside of New York City. I was raised by my Greek-American father, Phillip, and my Chinese & Irish American mother, Dana. I have one older sister, Callista, who is 26 and my best friend in the world and a older brother, Jason, who is 24 and basically acts as if he were a second father to me. My family means the world to me and have been the ones who encouraged me to not give up on my dream, because they knew it was what I wanted to do.

I picked up my first guitar when I was twelve years old. My dad played a little bit and I really wanted to learn. He taught me a few songs and I fell in love with it. Whenever I would have a bad day at school I would come home and just write music and play for hours. Some people rely on alcohol and drugs, I rely on music. It was my escape and a passion that I had. I knew that this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.

When I heard about the American Idol Auditions happening, I decided to give it a shot. We were visiting my family in Boston and I thought it wouldn't hurt to give it a shot. I never thought it would end up the way it did. I ended up coming in second place, behind Lee DeWyze. A couple weeks after the show I was signed to Jive Records. The experience was incredible and the people I met were going to be my best friends for life. I never had so much fun in my life, it was a lot of work though. I am still dreaming that I have fans out there who support me and that I am actually in the process of making my album.

Now that the show was over I would be heading on tour with the rest of the Top 10. I couldn't wait and I knew that this was going to be the best summer ever. Who wouldn't want to play in front of thousands of people every night in sold out arenas across the country. It was insane.

-------

I swung open the door to the tourbus and strugged with my suitcases and trying to keep the door open.

I just landed in Michigan, which was where the first show was kicking off. I was in Los Angeles doing interviews and all that fun stuff with Lee, while the others were here getting ready to kick off the show. It was kicking off in a couple of days and I couldn't wait.

"A little help here girls!" I yelled onto the bus.

I smiled when I saw Didi Benami make her way towards the bus enterance. She let out a laugh and hurried down the stairs and wrapped me in a hug.

"Maris is here!" She yelled, "How are you?"

"I'm good! So excited!" I squealed.

Didi was the bubbly and sweet one of the group. We all make fun of her, because she is so emotional and cries over everything, but she's one of the sweetest girls ever. She came in tenth on the show, but the short time I spent with her we became pretty good friends. She always had a way to make me laugh, even when she wasn't trying too.

"Hey!" Siobhan Magnus said as she walked down the stairs and grabbed one of my suitcases.

"Hi!" I gave her a small hug.

Siobhan was the strange one of the group, she said some of the most off the wall comments. She had a huge voice and some of the notes she hit were just crazy. Siobhan came in sixth on the show. I always got the vibe that she wasn't a huge fan of me, but I wouldn't say he hate one another. She was always nice enough to me, but kinda closed off. She never opened up to me like she did with the others and I'm not sure why. Out of everyone in the Top 10 she was the one I was least closest too. I'm hoping spending hours on a bus together will bring us closer, because I really did want to have a better friendship with her.

"How was your flight?" Siobhan asked.

"Okay. It didn't crash, so that's a plus." I said, laughing awkwardly, "Um. Where's Katie?"

"Getting prettied up." Didi smiled.

"Of course." I smiled.

Katie Stevens was the little sister of the group and one of my best friends. She came in 8th place on the show and was kicked off way to early in my opinion. She was younger then me, but she was so mature for her age. Katie was one of those people who I could talk about anything too and she would listen and give me the best advice she could. We had plans to move out to Los Angeles together, after this was all over. She hasn't been signed yet, but mark my word she will be soon. She's got the look and a amazing voice. She's going places.

"I'm here! I'm here!" Katie said, tossing her hands in the air as she made her way down the stairs and over to me.

"Hey love!" I hugged her.

"We already picked out our bunks, you're on the top across from me!" Katie said.

"Oh yay! I get to wake up to this ray of sunshine every morning." I smiled, as I followed Didi and Siobhan onto the bus, "Damn! They really gave us the works. This is like Britney Spears status!"

"I know! How awesome is this." Katie gushed.

"We have it so much better then the guys too! It's six of them on the bus, plus your brother! It's going to be so messy and smelly." I said to Katie.

"They are already saying they are going to have so much more fun then us!" Didi smiled.

"Yeah right. Lee and I had that argument the whole plane ride here, they are delrious."

"Cause you guys are like a old married couple." Siobhan said.

Lee DeWyze was the winner of the competition and probably one of the coolest guys I have ever met. He was my buddy since I met him and Hollywood week and everyone always says we belong together. I'm not going to lie the guy is adorable and a sweetheart and maybe I did have a little innocent crush on him, but nobody besides Katie knew that. Lee had a girlfriend back at home. I met her a few times and she was a pretty big bitch. They were constantly fighting, but he claims they are in love. I'm not going to judge, but I think he deserves better then that. He was my best friend and I would support him if he was happy.

"Are not." I said quickly.

"You girls ready?" Our busdriver, Kevin clasped his hands as he stepped on the bus.

"Yes!" Didi said in a sing song voice.

"Auburn Hills here we come! Brace yourselves!" I said.

[caitlynj]

yay!!! the tour!!! can't wait to read more.

[lovestory]

I sat on the couch in Lee and Andrew's hotel room. We were staying in a hotel for a few nights, because the first show was still a couple nights away and they weren't going to make us sleep on the cramped tour bus for that long. It was Andrew, Lee, Katie, and Katie's older brother Ryan just hanging out.

"We need to have a jam session soon, Maris." Andrew said.

"Hell yeah! You're the one that's slacking off."

"Nah. You're Miss. Superstar now. Katie and I have been jamming out, with Ry." Andrew pointed to Ryan and Katie.

I met Andrew through Lee. The two of them have been inseperable since Hollywood. We always made jokes that Lee and Andrew were boyfriends, because wherever Lee was Andrew was right behind. It was a cute little bromance they had going on, and it looked as if Ryan Stevens was going to be joining that bromance soon. Andrew was like another big brother to me and probably one of the coolest people I know. We would always get our guitars and rock out with one another. We just got along really well.

Ryan was kinda the third person added to the bromance. He was coming on tour, because Katie needs a chaparone cause she is only 17. I have met Ryan quite a few times and he's a pretty cool kid. Him and Katie were pretty close, so whenever he was in town for the show he would come and hang out with us. We got along pretty well.

"There's Mr. American Idol now." I said, as Lee walked in the hotel room, after disppearing for a few minutes when his phone rang.

"I'm here. The party can start now." Lee said.

"Where did you run off too?" I asked, as he sat down next to me on the couch.

"Ashley called and then I went to smoke a cigarette." Lee said, running his hand through his messy brown hair.

"What's the evil girlfriend pissed about now?" Katie questioned and I had to smile.

Katie was the only one who knew about my crush on Lee and she met Ashley and saw the way she treated him. She just wasn't a nice girl and we both thought Lee could do so much better and we made it a point to tell him that on various occasions. He would just shrug his shoulders and tell us she wasn't that bad.

"She was pissed off cause I didn't call her as soon as we landed," Lee smirked and shrugged, "I told her that I was too busy making out with Maris."

"Lee!" I looked at him, "You're such a idiot. That girl hates me enough as it is, because she claims I am trying to get in your pants. Way to make the situation even worse."

"Chill out. I'm just joking." Lee laughed, wrapping his arm around my shoulder and pulling me to him, "You're like a little sister to me. I don't make out with my sisters."

"I'm glad you don't, Lee." Ryan laughed.

Buzz kill. That is not what you want to hear from the guy you are crushing on. A sister? Really?

"Well apparently your girlfriend thinks we do it whenever we are around one another and she wants to kick my butt." I smirked.

"Here's my outlook on everything. Hot girls get jealous when other hot girls are around their boyfriends, especially when the hot girl is friends with the boyfriend." Lee explained.

"You make no sense, but okay." I nodded.

"Did you smoke more then a cigarette out there buddy?" Andrew laughed, as he slapped his back, "Are you calling Maris hot? I thought she was like a sister to you?"

"Shut up." Lee laughed and I felt my cheeks up.

"Is Ashley coming to any of the shows?" I asked, changing the subject quickly.

"Yeah. She's coming to the Milwaukee show with a few of my friends and she'll be at the Chicago show with my family." Lee nodded.

"Is she going to fight all your fans when they ask for hugs?" Andrew teased.

"She's not that bad." Lee said.

Katie, Andrew, and me all looked at one another and rolled our eyes.

"What are we doing tonight?" Ryan asked.

"Didi said something about all of us getting dinner together since we are all together again!" Katie smiled.

"I'm down. I don't think I could sit here all night." Lee said, "All us guys should go to a strip club."

"And wifey would like that?" Andrew laughed, "Cause my girl definately would not approve."

"Ashley doesn't have to know." Lee smirked.

"You're disgusting." I scoffed.

"I'm joking. Strip clubs aren't really my scene, I'm more of a hooker type guy."

I laughed and pushed him, before standing up and pulling down my shirt so it met the waistband of my shorts.

"I'm going to head back to the room and change. I will text you guys with the details of dinner when I find out more information." I said.

"No hug?" Lee asked, holding his arms out to me.

I rolled my eyes and bent down, wrapping my arms around him. I would play along like it was an annoyance, but inside I was squealing and jumping around like a schoolgirl. There was nothing better then a hug from Lee. He is a huggy person and hugs everyone, but it still made me giddy.

"You coming back Katie?" I asked, as I let go of Lee.

"Yeah. I'll meet you there."

----------

I was in my and Katie's hotel room, touching up my outfit for the night. Katie was sitting on her bed, going through her make up bag.

"Can we discuss Lee and you."

"There is nothing to discuss, but okay." I smiled, turning around and looking at her.

"He totally likes you. He is in denial, because he thinks that Ashley and him have something going on. He gets this goofy grin on his face, whenever your name is mentioned. He has the hots for you."

"It doesn't matter if he does," I said and looked over at her, "He's with Ashley and I will not interfere in that relationship. He is in love with her, no matter how big of a bitch she is. The guy has been with her for three and a half years. He obviously cares about her."

"I think he loves the idea of having someone there for him, not actually her. Who would love her?"

I laughed and turned back to look at myself in the mirror.

"He's a good guy, but it will never happen. Believe me." I told her.

"I say by the end of the tour you guys will have atleast hooked up and I am saying he dumps Ashley eventually."

"I'm not going to hook up with Lee. Never!" I laughed.

"We shall see."

"It's just a tiny crush that I have on him. It means nothing. I said.

Okay, maybe it wasn't a tiny crush and maybe I did have a lot of feelings towards him and if Ashley and him broke up and he wanted to start something with me, I wouldn't be opposed to it. That would never happen though.

"Besides he thinks of me as a sister." I laughed.

"Yeah, what the hell was that all about? That boy is in denial."

I guess we will find out sooner or later.

[caitlynj]

haha...he is in denial.

[imthegirl]

aaww cute.
i have a feeling this'll be another 'lee/girl' story.

[lovestory]

We all gathered in the back room at a nearby restaurant and were seated at a long table. I was squeezed between Katie and a Aaron. Everybody who were of age were drinking and let's just say they were starting to feel the alcohol. Lee had spent half the night in and out of the restaurant fighting over the phone with Ashley and I could tell that was why he was drinking tonight.

"I feel so out of place, not being able to drink." Katie said.

"I know." I laughed.

"What's going on with Lee?" Aaron asked, as Lee walked back into the room.

"My guess is it has something to do with Ashley." I smirked.

"True." Aaron nodded.

Aaron Kelly was one of the sweetest kids you will ever meet. I don't think I have ever heard him say anything bad about anybody. He's only seventeen and basically the guys torment the crap out of him, with the pranks they pull. That is why we are teaming up with him so he can get them all back. He is so mature for his age and we refer to him as Yoda. I love him to death.

"Who wants to go out to a bar?" Lee suggested.

"No! I think you had enough to drink." Big Mike said, being the father figure he was. He knew how to joke around, but in the long run he was there to help us all and make sure we don't do anything stupid.

"Come on. Just a few drinks, us guys. No girls!" Lee slurred his words a bit, "I don't like girls right now! They bring the drama."

I stood up from my chair and walked over to Lee who was standing behind his empty chair, arguing with Big Mike, who was probably the last person you would want to argue with. I placed my hand on Lee's arm and pulled him gently towards the enterance of the restuarant and outside, so we didn't cause a scene inside.

"Let's just get some air. You had too much to drink and you are saying stupid things." I said.

"I never say stupid things." Lee gave me a cocky smile.

"Everything okay?" I asked, crossing my arms across my chest, "Talk to me about whatever it is that is bothering you, because you taking shots and drinking beers isn't helping. It's only hurting you."

I've seen Lee drink before, but never get this drunk. Only once and that was at the finale afterparty and it was expected. I knew he drank with his buddies at home and I know that he has had a party boy past where he drank a lot and smoked, more than just cigarettes. He told me these things, but it wasn't like him to go out and get smashed when we had a dress rehersal for the show early the following morning.

"It's just Ashley. She's such a drama queen and it's so old." Lee closed his eyes and ran his hand through his hair.

"You seem so unhappy whenever you hang up with her. It's like she puts you in this foul mood and it's not fair to you, you deserve better."

"I think she deserves better then me sometimes. I'm never home anymore and don't have the time she needs for me and we are constantly fighting." Lee rambled as he walked over to the curb and sat down.

"Lee, any girl would be lucky to have a guy like you. She's selfish and doesn't like this new found fame. If she really loved you she would be happy for you, even if it meant you couldn't be together twenty four seven. You deserve to be treated so much better then how she treats you." I told him as I sat down next to him on the curb.

"She makes me feel like I'm not good enough for her. She's constantly telling me that she can do better and it hurts me, because I do love her and I want to do anything to make her happy."

"Do you really love her?" I asked.

"I do and I know I get a lot of sh!t for it, but I can't help it. We have been together for nearly four years and she may be a bitch sometimes, but she honestly has a good side to her."

"You know her better then any of us." I nodded.

"It scares me to see this just falling apart in front of my eyes and I can't do anything about it. I honestly think it's going to be over soon and that scares me so much." Lee said, as if he completely sobered up.

"You'll find someon and who knows couples have some rough patches you guys may come out on top." I encouraged him, wrapping my arm around his shoulder.

Gosh, as much as I didn't want him and Ashley together I couldn't help but give him a little advice. He was someone I would do anything for and seeing him upset, broke my heart. If he was happy with Ashley and wanted to be with her, maybe I should just support him. I just wanna see him happy. Even if it's not with me.

"Did anybody ever tell you that you are one of the most amazing people ever?" Lee asked.

"I don't think so." I smiled.

"Well, you're a pretty amazing girl." He grinned and hugged me quickly, before standing up.

I blushed slightly and looked down, before Lee grabbed my arm and pulled me up.

"Let's go back inside." I told him.

"Thanks for talking. You're a great friend."

"Anytime Leon." I smiled and patted his back, "No more drinking, because we have a long day tomorrow."

"Okay mom."

--------------------

I sat down on the bus the next morning. We were heading towards the venue to go through our setlist today. It was going to be our first run through for the show with a actual live band and on the actual stage, so I was excited for it. It actually felt like it was happening.

I pulled my earphones out of my ears and looked up from my magazine as I saw Siobhan walked over to my bunk and sit down next to me.

"What's up?" I asked, finding it awkward that she is coming back here to have a conversation with me.

"What is going on with Lee and you? You are constantlt together and flirting."

"Nothing. We're friends, we are allowed to just be friends." I said.

"I just think you should watch out, because Ashley doesn't like you as it is and if she hears that you guys are together twenty four seven, she's not going to be happy. Especially if it gets back that you two are flirting." Siobhan said.

"We aren't flriting! Just because he has a penis doesn't mean that we are hooking up or flirting with one another. Say it with me we are friends!" I sighed, getting defensive.

Siobhan wasn't close enough to me to start passing judgement on the situation. If this was Katie or Andrew it would be another story. They knew me and Lee well enough to pass the judgement and give me advice. Siobhan was really close to Lee, but she didn't really know me well enough to butt in.

"I'm just looking out for you and Lee, because I like you both." Siobhan shrugged as she stood up.

"You don't know the situation so please just butt out of it. I don't feel like being lectured right now." I snapped.

"I'm just looking out for you, but if you wanna act this way then go ahead. Don't say I never warned you, because all of this is going to come back and bite you guys in the butt."

"There's nothing to bite us in the butt. We haven't done anything wrong."

"I'm just saying, be careful." She stood up, and walked off.

I didn't mean to lose my cool, but I was getting sick of people butting into all this crap. It had nothing to do with them and Lee and I weren't doing anything wrong.

[caitlynj]

I hope Siobhan doesn't get to her head.

[lovestory]

I'm going to the beach today, but I have half a update written. I should have it posted by tonight when I get back.

[caitlynj]

have fun at the beach.

[lovestory]

Once we arrived at the venue we were immediately hurried inside and immediately set up for dress rehersal. Just standing on the stage in the huge, empty arena was incredible and I couldn't wait to perform in a packed house. Thousands of people who were fans of us were actually going to be here to cheer us on. It was truely insane.

"Is it strange that we are actually going to be singing on this stage in front of a packed arena?" I asked, Katie as we stood on the stage getting ready to reherse our group number of Kelly Clarkson's My Life Would Suck Without You. The girls would start off the song and the guys would come in and join us.

"I don't feel like it's even real." Katie smiled.

"Insane." I said in a sing song voice.

"Okay, let's take it from your part Maris, before Lee comes out to join." Our tour manager, Kim yelled from the front row of seats, where she was sitting.

"Okay." I nodded.

The band started playing and I started to sing.

"Being with you is so dysfunctional......" I sang, turning around as Lee walked out to the stage and up next to me, wrapping his arm around my shoulder as he joined me.

I smiled at him as we continued to sing and everyone else came out onto the stage to join us in the chorus. Lee kept nudging me and singing to me and I couldn't contain myself from laughing. Practcing with Lee was always a struggle, because he was so funny and knows that he can get me to laugh at the littlest thing, so he does everything in his power to make me laugh.

During Top 4 week on the show we had to do duets and Lee and I were paired up. Let's just say they were getting pretty pissed off at us during practice, because we couldn't keep a straight face and after the hundredth time we finally got it. I couldn't help it. He could do the littlest thing to make me laugh, that's why I adored him so much. We just had fun and no drama at all.

"Nice!" Kim yelled as we finished the song, "It would have been better if someone was giggling."

"Oh my gosh I know! She ruined everything. That was so unprofessional, Maris!" Lee said.

"You should take pointers from Lee. Epitiome of profession right here!" Casey said, pointing to Lee who gave me a smug smile.

"No wonder you lost!" Siobhan said, trying to make a joke, but it came off as cold and almost bitchy.

"Low blow." I said, as everyone stopped laughing and a awkward silence fell over us.

"Okay. Go and get some lunch, we'll do one last run through after you guys get some food in you." Kim called.

I headed backstage when I felt somone place their hand on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Siobhan standing there.

"I didn't mean for that to come out the way it did." Siobhan said.

"It's fine. It was a joke." I said, sounding a bit short.

The problem with Siobhan was that sometimes her jokes came off a bit too harsh and I didn't find them funny all the time. We weren't close enough for her to make jokes like that. I'm aware that I lost and I am fine with that, because in all honestly Lee deserved that crown more then anybody here. It just pissed me off, because it was almost like she was rubbing it in my face that I lost.

During the finale week she made it clear she was pulling for Lee. She never came out and said it, but you could just tell. I don't know why she had a problem with me, but she did.

"I don't want you to be mad. I know that we aren't rthe best of friends, but I wouldn't wanna hurt you."

"I told you. It's fine." I smiled.

I was bothered by the comment, but I wasn't going to start unecessary arguments with her. It wasn't worth it.

"Okay." She awkwardly said.

I smiled and brushed past her quickly as Katie called my name from down the hallway, waving me over to her.

"Is everything alright between you two?" Katie asked quietly as I reached her.

"It's fine." I smiled.

"Well, Ryan and me are going to get some food with Andrew. Do you want to come along?"

I glanced behind Katie as I saw Lee rush out the doors, looking pissed off as he held his cellphone to his ear.

"No. I'm going to stay behind." I said.

"Alright, do you want us to bring you back something so you don't have to eat this stuff?"

"No. Thanks though."

"See you later!"

"Bye."

I watched Katie walk off and glanced around the hall to make sure nobody was watching me. I walked in the direction that Lee just walked in. I didn't want people knowing that I was checking up on him. I didn't wanna hear the sarcastic comments. I wasn't in the mood for them.

I pushed opened the doors and saw Lee leaning against the building, smoking a cigarette.

"Everything alright?" I asked, "I saw you storm out of the place and you looked pretty pissed off."

"Fine." He said, putting out his cigarette.

"You don't have to put that out." I told him.

He knew how much I hated smoking and whenever I was around he would always put his cigarettes out. I constantly told him that he doesn't have to do it, but he insist. Another reason why I like him so much. He just cares about other people and is the least selfish person I know.

"What's up?" He asked.

"I just wanted to make sure you're okay."

"I'm fine! I don't know why people are constantly riding me and asking me if I'm okay. Andrew constantly is asking, you, Katie."

"Sorry we care." I rolled my eyes, "It's just everytime you hang up the phone with Ashley you are pissed off. We care about you and want to make sure that everything is alright with you."

"I'm a big boy, I can handle myself."

"Okay. I won't ever ask if you're okay again and I'll make sure to tell everyone to do the same."

"Please do." He shot back.

I rolled my eyes and headed back inside as Katie, Ryan, and Andrew made their way out of the building.

"I think I wanna come with you guys now! I think I could use some relaxing time with friends who I care about and don't get mad when I ask them if they are okay!" I said loudly, so that Lee could hear.

"You alright there?" Ryan asked, placing his hand on my back and giving me a strange look.

"Yeah. Let's go." I smiled, "Bye Lee! Am I allowed to say that or are you going to get your boxers in a bunch?"

"Did we miss something?" Katie asked Andrew quietly.

"I think so, because Maris is going a little crazy on Lee right now." Andrew laughed.

----------

"What the hell was that back at the venue?" Ryan asked, as we sat around a small diner.

"Lee's being a crabass and I decided two can play that game." I shrugged.

"A lover's quarrel, how cute!" Andrew grinned.

"Please, I'm beginning to think that Lee is more work then a baby! No wonder why Ashley can be such a bitch to him." I said. I didn't what I was saying, but I had to try and cover my crush up on Lee somehow.

"You guys love eachother, that is why you argue." Katie smirked.

"Say what you want." I rolled my eyes.

"Lee's been acting weird lately. I don't think he is happy with Ashley, but he is too scared to let her go for some reason." Andrew told me.

"He will come to his senses eventually." I shrugged.

"I don't know. It's been 3 and 1/2 years." Katie said.

"Good point." I laughed, "There is only so much we can do to help him. I tried helping him today and got bitched at. He basically told me that he was sick of everyone always asking if he is okay."

"Well, he always looks upset when he gets off the phone with her. I want to make sure he's cool." Andrew defended himsefl.

"I know. He's just being a brat, because he was pissed off at Ashley. He will get over it." I said.

Guys are so much work.

[imthegirl]

i'm suspicious of siobhan.
i hope lee will realize that ashley's not worth it.

[caitlynj]

yeah I hope Lee get's over Ashley and stops being a brat.

[lovestory]

It was getting late and I was exhausted. Everyone went out shopping or to just explore, but I opted to stay in. I was up really early in the morning with Lee to do interviews with local radio stations and newspapers to discuss the tour. I just wanted to lay in this comfortable hotel bed and enjoy it, because after tomorrow night we would be doing a lot of our sleeping in the crammed bunks on the bus.

There was a knock on the door and it knocked me out of my thoughts.

"Open the door, loser!" I heard Lee yell from the other side.

I rolled my eyes and climbed out of the bed. I quickly grabbed my hoodie and tossed it over my tank top and quickly walked to the door, opening it slowly. Lee was standing on the other side, tapping his foot impaiently. I opened the door all the way and he stepped in without a word. I turned back around and headed to the bed, climbing back under the covers.

"What's up?" I asked, pulling the covers back up over me as I watched Lee sit down on Katie's bed.

"I just wanted to apologize for the way I acted earlier. I was pissed off at Ashley and took it out on you." Lee said.

"It's okay." I mumbled, staring at the tv screen.

"No it's not. I shouldn't have lashed out on you. You were just trying to be there for me and I freaked out and I'm sorry."

"It's fine."

"You always say that and I know it's not."

"I hate confortation and if you apologize I am cool with it. I'm not going to hold this against you. You realized that you were being a grump and apologized and I accept that apology." I told him as I tore my eyes from the tv and looked over at him.

"Can I come cuddle with you?" Lee winked.

"No!" I laughed as he walked over to me and bent down, hugging me tightly.

"You have a girlfriend, go cuddle with here! Go away!" I laughed as he started, tickling me.

I rolled over onto my back and continued to try and push him away as I laughed. Lee's face was inches from mine. He stopped tickling me and stared down at me as I stopped laughing. Before I could move away, I felt his lips press against mine. I closed my eyes and reached up and wrapped my arms around his neck and deepened the kiss.

I know I should probably pull away and not further anything, but I couldn't. It felt so right. The fact that he had a girlfriend was the last thing from my mind.

I felt Lee place his rough hand on my cheek and I moved over in my bed, pulling him down next to me. I pulled back a few moments later and looked into his gorgeous blue eyes.

"I don't think we should be doing this." I whispered, "This is so unlike me. I don't just hook up with guys, esepcially guys with girlfriends. I think we crossed the line."

"I agree." He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him, "But for some reason I don't care if we should be doing this or not."

"You'll regret this and so will I. You have a girlfriend at home and just becuase you're fighting with her doesn't mean that you can go off and make out with other people. I don't wanna be the girl on the side or the rebound chick."

"You're not that at all." Lee ran his hand down my back.

"This is not right." I sat up and smoothed out my hoodie, "I like you and I think that is very apparent, but I don't wanna just being hook up buddies, espcially when you have a girlfriend back home. Granted she is evil, but she still doesn't deserve this. You don't wanna do that to her either, I know you too well Lee."

"You are right." Lee nodded.

"If you're not happy with her break it off, but don't do it because you wanna get ass from random girls." I told him.

"Can we just act like this never happened? I don't know what got into me." Lee sat up.

"Deal." I smiled.

"I mean we were bound to make out sooner or later, but I didn't think here. I guess you can't resist my goodlooks and charm."

"Get over yourself." I laughed softly.

"I'm just sayin!" Lee grinned and held up his hands.

"What happened to just forgetting about it?" I smied.

Did I want to forget about it? No, but I knew I had to act like this never happened. It was the most powerful kiss I have ever shared with anybody. There was something there between us, but none of this would be happening again if he keeps Ashley around.

I'm not the home wrecking type and I don't know what got over me. I felt like crap, but on the other hand it felt so right.
