Between The Roses

Sunlight shone brightly through the white sheer drapes covering the large windows in my master bedroom. I laid out on my stomach with the blankets covering my lower half. Next to me laid my sleeping husband. I still haven’t gotten used to saying that; Andy is my husband. A small smile grew over my face as I moved my head to face him. His eyes were closed and he was breathing softly. For a while I watched him, admiring his features and just him in general.

My thoughts began to wander as I sat there, my life has been overly fantastic over the last year. So many things were finally going my way and I was living in pure happiness. In all of my 27 years of life, nothing went my way. Everything turned into a shit storm and made me rather depressed. But when I met Andy none of that really mattered. And now, I’m happy. Truly happy. Never in my life had I felt this way.

Suddenly I felt an arm wrap itself around my waist and pull me towards itself and pulled me from my thoughts. I moved my eyes and looked into the now open blue eyes of Andy. He still had sleep heavily weighing on his eyes, but he was awake.

“Morning,” he smiled sleepily and I kissed his cheek.

“Morning,” I smiled at him and he nuzzled his head into my neck.

“Don’t you have a meeting with the label today?” He asked and I swallowed.

“Nope. We had the meeting yesterday while we were there for the other meeting,” I muttered and he nodded.

“So do you have a free day?” He asked and I nodded.

“Yes, I have a free day, but do you?” I asked and he sighed before shaking his head.

“Well, actually, kinda. I have to go in to track some vocals, but that shouldn’t really take long, after that I’m free. You should come to the studio with me, you haven’t done that in a while,” he responded and I shrugged.

“Sure,” I smiled and rolled over and pulled the sheet with me as I stood and walked towards the closet to get dressed.

Once I had my outfit on, I walked back into the bedroom and looked at Andy. He was laying on his stomach, softly snoring. I chuckled as I shook my head. He has always been stubborn to wake up, but it has been really difficult recently. I climbed onto the bed and got this really big smile on my face before I shook his shoulders violently and yelled his name. He yelped and jumped up, sleepily scared.

“Time to get up,” I laughed and he looked at me with unamused eyes.

“Was that really necessary?” He asked and I nodded.

“Of course it was. Now, get up and get dressed. I’m gonna go see if Cal is up with his kids or not,” I told Andy before giving him a kiss and leaving the room. From the first floor I heard the familiar sound of children laughing. Good, Callum got his kids up by himself this morning. I quietly walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. At the table sat both Ryley and Graham, each with a plate of breakfast food in front of them. Callum was standing in the kitchen, leaning against the counter with a cup of coffee in one hand and his phone in the other.

“Morning everyone,” I smiled at the three of them. The two kids looked up at me and greeted me excitedly. Callum nodded at me as I walked past him to make a cup of coffee for myself.

“What are you up to today?” I asked him once I had my coffee in my hand.

“Lake wanted to bring the kids to her parents house so they can go swimming,” he said and I smiled. “What about you?”

“I am gonna go into the studio with Andy, watch him do his thing and then probably relax or something boring like that,” I said and he nodded.

“Married life has really made you boring,” he chuckled and I pursed my lips at him.

“I am not boring. I am just enjoying this bit of free time we have before the bosses make us do a shit ton of stuff again,” I said and he smirked.

“Speaking of doing stuff again. How excited are you for the two sold-out shows at the Forum?” He asked and I smiled, teeth and all.

“Not only am I excited but I am really surprised we were able to actually sell out the Forum,” I chuckled and he nodded.

“Same,” he agreed and then the two of us grew into a silence. Over the last few weeks Callum and I had been growing somewhat distant. He was in this great relationship with this great girl who absolutely adored his kids and him. It really warmed my heart to see that, but at the same time I sorta wish he was still open to telling me everything like we used to.

“Hey Sadee,” I heard my name and turned my head to face Callum.

“Yeah?” I asked and he swallowed.

“I wanted to let you know that I found a house,” he said and I raised my eyebrows.

“Really? Where?” I asked.

“Anaheim,” he answered and I bit the inside of my lip.

“Oh,” was all I could muster and he dropped his shoulders.

“Look, living here has been amazing. You and Andy are great friends and I am really appreciative that you guys took me in when I was in a bad place. But now, I have primary custody of my kids, I’ve been in a relationship with Lake for about seven months, and I think it is time for me to move out and get my own place with my kids,” he explained and I nodded.

“Cal, you don’t have to explain. You are a grown man with two kids to think about. You do you,” I said before I turned from him and left the kitchen and walked into the living room. Crow was sprawled out on part of the couch, sound asleep while Quinn was bouncing around chasing one of the cat toys. I took my seat next to Crow and pulled my legs up to my chest as I took a drink of my coffee. My eyes wandered down to Quinn. From the other room I heard someone walking down the stairs. Andy was awake, good. A few hushed words were exchanged before I heard Andy walk into the room and then sit down next to me.

“You okay?” He asked and I nodded.

“Yeah, just tired,” I shrugged and he nodded. He wrapped his arm around my shoulders and pulled me into him.

“I’m guessing that Callum told you about moving?” He asked and I sighed.

“Yeah,” I muttered and he chuckled.

“You knew it was going to happen eventually,” he rubbed my upper arm and kissed the top of my head.

“Unfortunately. But, it’s whatever. When do you have to be at the studio?” I asked and he shifted.

“In an hour,” he told me and I nodded.

“Wanna go grab some lunch before we head over there?” I looked up at him and he smirked before leaning down and giving me a kiss.

“Of course,” he responded. The last year has been fantastic, and things just keep looking up. But it’s starting to seem like bad things are rolling in. We’ll see how it all plays out.

Notes

Welcome back to the world of Sadee Christian! This is definitely a first chapter of a story. It's not that good, but I hope you enjoyed it. I have quite a lot planned for this story, and no, it does not involve a tour.

I changed the name from Infinity to Between The Roses because I feel like the new title suits what I have planned so much better.

But yeah, welcome back, I hope you stay. :3
