Bingo Square: Reunion
Other Notes: there are TWO reunions in this story. Also: feeling like a dork because all this time I thought Cam was a boy… Now I know different. *sigh* so apparently this is going to be a little AU where Cam is a boy, not a girl. My sincerest apologies.
Warning: one eff word, discussion of sex
Word Count: 1,060
Summary: Snapshots of the life Tommy & Bella build together.

CHAPTER ONE
Bella and her friend Cherry were standing outside the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom waiting for the doors to open when someone tackled Bella from behind. Normally this would have freaked her out but she can tell exactly who it is by the press of his body and the smell of his cologne. She wrapped his arms around her tighter and turned her head to look over her shoulder at him. “Hey, my fierce little pixie,” she said with a grin.
Tommy blushed. “Hey, baby,” he murmured. Then he pressed his lips lightly to Bella‘s. She could feel everyone’s eyes on them but she really didn’t care.
Bella untangled herself from Tommy’s octopus grip and turned around only to tangle herself back up. She wrapped her arms around Tommy’s ribs, hugging him close and pressing her face in to his neck. “I missed you,” he murmured.
Bella laughed lightly. “But we just talked, like, fifteen minutes ago.”
“I know,” he said. “But it’s not the same as seeing you in the flesh.”
Bella hugged him a little tighter and pressed her lips to his ear. “Honestly, I missed you too,” she told him quietly. “I missed your arms around me, your hands on me, your lips on me, your naked body against mine.”
Bella could feel Tommy shiver in her arms. Then Tommy leaned his lips near her ear and growled, “Fucking tease.”
Bella buried her face in his neck, giggling. “Sorry.”
“Yeah right,” he muttered.
Someone cleared their throat behind the pair. “Oh!” Bella pulled herself out of Tommy’s grasp, leaving one arm around his waist. “Cherry, Tommy Joe. Tommy Joe, this is my best friend Cherry,” Bella introduced the two.
The two shook hands. “Nice to meet you,” Tommy said.
“Like-wise,” Cherry replied with a flirtatious smile.
“Back off,” Bella told her. “He’s mine.”
“What?” she asked sincerely innocent.
Bella laughed. “You flirt and you don’t even know it.”
A light blush came over Cherry’s pale face. “Sorry.”
“So, what? No JD tonight?” Tommy asked, clearly changing the subject.
“Actually, I got tickets to this concert before the Concord one. I didn’t think JD would even go to an Adam Lambert concert so I asked Cherry first,” Bella told him. “But then I got the second pair of tickets so I asked JD and she said sure, much to my surprise and delight.”
Tommy grinned. “She not a fan of the Glambert?”
“Not before Monday,” Bella answered with a sly grin. “But Monday totally changed all that.”
“So you guys wanna come hang out on the bus? It’s a lot cooler than out here,” Tommy said.
“But we’ll lose our place in line and not get a good place inside,” Bella replied.
“Don’t you worry your pretty little head over that,” Tommy responded. “I’ll get you guys in to sound check and then you can wait there until the show.”
“Really?” Bella asked with a smile.
“Of course,” he replied, pecking her lips. Then he took Bella by the hand and Bella grabbed on to Cherry’s hand as he led them to the back of the building and on to the bus.
The chain of people ended up in the back lounge of the bus, Cherry seated on one couch and Tommy and Bella on the other. When Bella sat down, Tommy pulled her legs over his lap and put an arm around her waist, pulling her against his side. She smiled at him, her arm on the back of the couch, her fingers twirling his hair. “I feel like I have nothing to say to you,” she told him.
“Hey,” he said pouting.
Bella laughed. “No, not like that. I just mean that we’ve talked every day on the phone for hours and we’ve already talked three times today, I feel like I know everything that’s going on,” she explained.
Tommy chuckled lightly. “Naw, it’s okay, I kinda feel the same way.”
After a beat of silence Bella asked, “So how’s Adam doing? I haven’t heard from him all week.”
Tommy glanced over at Cherry then back at Bella. “Does she know what happened Monday?”
Bella nodded. “Yeah, I tell her everything.”
“Okay,” he said. “Well, Adam’s been kind of… weird lately.”
“Weird how?” Bella asked, concern wrinkling her forehead.
“He’s been quiet and kinda keeps to himself. The only time he gets loud and joking is when he’s on stage,” Tommy shrugged.
“That’s definitely not the Adam I know,” Bella said quietly.
“Yeah, I know,” Tommy replied. “I’m pretty sure it has to do with Monday.”
“Monday? Did I do something wrong?” Bella asked, even more concerned than before.
“It’s not about what you did,” he told her. “It’s about what he did. Monday was his first time.”
Bella gave Tommy a ‘yeah right’ look. “Nuh-uh. I know for a fact that Adam Lambert is not a virgin.”
“Not anymore he isn’t,” Tommy said. “But no, he was technically a virgin on Monday… a hetero virgin, that is.”
“He’d never been with a girl before me?” Bella asked, surprised. “He sure as hell seemed to know what he was doing.”
Tommy grinned. “He only knew what I had told him about straight sex,” he responded.
“Huh. So he was only book smart. Now he’s street smart,” Bella stated.
Tommy giggled. “Yeah, something like that.”
“So why is he acting all weird?” Cherry spoke up.
Tommy shrugged. “I don’t know.”
“Jesus, I broke Adam Lambert,” Bella muttered.
Just then they heard the bus doors open and someone called out. “Hey, Glitterbaby, you on here?”
“Yeah, back here,” Tommy called back.
They heard Adam walk down the length of the bus to where the three of them were stationed in the back. Adam poked his head in the room and smiled. But once his eyes landed on Bella, his face paled under his foundation and his mouth opened and closed a few times, no words coming out. “I um, sound check is in fifteen minutes,” he said quietly, his eyes pinned to Bella.
“Okay, we’ll be there,” Tommy replied.
“Hey, Bella,” Adam said softly.
“Hey,” she murmured. “This is…” Before Bella could introduce Adam to Cherry, he turned on his heel and practically runs from the bus.
“See what I mean?” Tommy said. Bella nodded, staring at the spot where Adam’s body used to be. Talk about a reunion.
