“I want you to be my girlfriend.”

She didn’t answer; her face looked perplexed with confusion. Brian ran his hand through her hair and stroked it gently.

“Addie?”

She blinked and came back to reality. Brian smiled sweetly at her and kissed her forehead, giving her some reassurance.

“Brian, I -”

Suddenly he stood up and got down from the bed. He can feel the rejection words coming from her mouth so it was better if he didn’t hear them at all. He started to dress himself and Addie just watched helplessly.

“I’ll wait. Until you say yes.”

She frowned. “What?”

“I know you’re probably confused right now. With your fucking boyfriend and all. But for me, everything is crystal clear. I want you, I want to be with you. As simple as that. If you have even a slightest feeling for me, please consider this.”

“But – Mich-”
“I’ll break it off with her. And about this,” his eyes roamed around the scattered bed and naked Addie on it. “I won’t tell anyone, if you don’t want me to.”
“Please don’t.”

Brian pursed his lips. He felt a little hurt inside, despite he was the one saying that, he’d actually wanted to announce to the whole world that he’s in love with her.

“Got it.” he turned his body away to the door and ready to leave but Addie ran towards him and hugged him from behind. She couldn’t contain her feelings too. Her arms wrapped tightly around his waist while Brian can only control his urge to go for a second round when he felt her soft breasts pressed against his back.

“Brian, I mean please don’t go.”

Brian turned around but still didn’t let go of the embrace. His eyes carefully peeked down to her naked body before he gazed back to her eyes again.

“You want me to stay?”

“Yes.”

“So does that mean you agree?”

Addie hesitated. She wanted to be his so much but there’s this one fucking barrier stand in between them called a job.

“On one condition.”

Brian raised his eyebrows. Never in a million years he would thought about encountering a girl giving a condition in being his girlfriend. It would never crossed his mind that Synyster Gates would consider listening to this. He closed his eyes and kicked away his ego for a bit.

“What is it?”

“We have to keep it a secret. Even from your dad.”

Brian took a long while to digest this. “But why? After I’m done with Michelle, I want them to know that you-”

“NO. I’m your security crew Brian. And what would your fans think about this?”

He looked a little bit startled. “I want to be with you and you’re worried about my fans?”

“Your fans are your life, remember? You said this in one of your interviews before.”

Brian let out a heavy sigh but smiled nevertheless. “Fine. I have a condition too.”

“What?”

“Break up with that guy.”

Addie hesitated again. She never had a relationship with that guy anyway so what’s there to break? Besides they were really awkward with each other now ever since that kiss.

“Okay.”

Brian smirked and leaned in to reach for her lips, kissing her deeply and passionately while leading her back to the bed. He was definitely up for round two now that her naked body looked so inviting, but remembering that he didn’t have any protection with him, he stopped.

“As much as I want to make love to you again, baby, I can’t. I don’t have a fucking condom with me.” He whispered, softly planted a kiss at the spot just below her ear with both thumbs gently rubbing on her nipples.

Addie moaned while licking her lips and nodded slowly, feeling both agreed and disappointed at the same time.

“But I can go and buy some at the hotel’s convenient store. Will you wait for me?”

Her eyes sparkled again as she chuckled and smiled. Brian kissed her hard for the last time before making his way out of the room, feeling sincerely happy for the first time after the loss of his best friend.

I pulled a plain white tshirt from my backpack and felt sticky all over me. Oh dear God. What have I done? Did I just agree in being Brian’s girlfriend? I know I’m so screwed and this is all one giant fucking mess but I can’t resist him anymore. I’m tired of fighting while he kept coming on to me with his sweet promises.

Did he seriously wanna break up with Michelle for me?

I decided to take a shower and wait for him to get back, not to have any more actions but we have to talk properly about this, with our clothes on. As I let the water ran through my body, I kept recalling; Andy once told me that he’d always been in a relationship with his subjects. The most important thing is not to fall in love with them.

For my case, it’s pretty much too late. I guess I should try my best not to love him that much, huh? But how do I do that? Tell me please. Brian was so sweet with me. His silly smile, lazy piercing eyes, and sweet talks just got my head spinning like a fucking hangover.

Done showering, I dressed myself in that simple plain white tshirt and a pair of clean panties. I went to the bedside table and sipped on the coffee that Brian brought me earlier. Well, isn’t he the sweetest guy? How the hell did McKenna said that he’s a pain in the ass?

Oh fuck I totally forgot about Mac! Brian can’t come over! He can’t! Oh shit.

I stumbled with my phone and tried to dial Brian’s number when I heard a few knocks on the door. I rushed over to it, still holding the cup in my hand.

“Brian I don’t think we should-”

“You were expecting Brian?”

HOLY FUCK. “Andy? What are you doing here?”

Andy smiled and folded his arms across his chest. I can feel his eyes kept travelling down to my bare legs. Shit. I better dress myself up properly.

“I got your message. It’s definitely the guy that we wanted.”

“Shh! Keep your voice down!” I pulled him into the room and shut the door behind me. Quickly I searched for a pair of pants and put it on.

“What’s up Addie? You seem restless.”

“Restless? Damn right I am! Did you know how messed up I am right now? First you kissed me out of the blue at Brian’s party. I mean, what the hell was that? Then a stranger called me out of nowhere, threatened to kill me and then now Brian just asked me to be his girlfriend and he’s gonna break up with Michelle soon. How can I not be restless?”

“Look Addie, about that kiss, I – wait. Did you just say he asked you to be his girlfriend?”

“Yes.”

“And you said…?”

“Yes. I said yes.”

“Why?”

I stared at him. Wasn’t he the one who told me to not really take Chief’s orders seriously?

“What do you mean why? I’m single, he’s going to be. So,”

“Addie, he’s a subject.”

“I know. And I thought you had relationships with your subjects before?”

“Damn it Addie. I’m a guy. It’s okay for me to break up with them. I don’t feel hurt or anything. But-”
“What, just because I’m a woman you’re saying I can’t handle this?”

“No! It’s just – I don’t want you to go too deep.”

I shut my eyes. Refused to look at his gorgeous face right now. “I won’t. But we need to ‘break up’.”

Andy chuckled and settled himself on the edge of my scattered bed. I felt my cheeks burned when he scanned around intently, probably guessing that Brian and I had sex there earlier.

“Are you sure? Because I can be the best boyfriend you ever had.” He teased and flashed his adorable grin that I used to love so much. I rolled my eyes and started to make the bed.

“So what about this anon caller?”

Andy got up and went over to the melting box of ice cream on the bedside table curiously. I grabbed the box and put it back in the mini fridge. He just watched with both hands in his pockets.

“Well, he’s definitely the guy. And I suspect that he’s here too.”

I was about to drink my cold coffee but stopped halfway. “He’s here?”

“Yeah. Brian is exposed here. It’s too risky to attack him back at Huntington. Here, there will only be you and that other security guy and he pretty much will stay by the beach right? So he’s exposed.”

“So he shouldn’t be hanging by the beach?”

“It’s better if he stayed indoors.”

Oh damn. I can already picture Brian’s face if I tell him I wanna keep him in the room all the time.

“So, can I sleep here tonight?” Andy asked, already getting ready to jump on the tidy bed that I just made.

“NO!”

He was startled and taken aback from my sudden response. “I mean, McKenna will be back at anytime. Wouldn’t want her to think of anything unnecessary.”

“Oh come on. She knew we ‘dated’, right?”

“No she doesn’t and besides we have practically ‘broken up’.”

“Fine. I’ll find myself a room then.” Andy groaned and made his way towards the door.

“What, are you gonna stay here?”

“Hell yeah. It’s Cabo and the ocean is beautiful. How can I not stay?”

After that out he went through the door, making my head even more messed up.
