Syn's Deep in My Blood

“YEES!! Matt… YES… Oh god, yeah, deeper baby… c’mon…”

“You like it deeper, huh? Deeper than that?” he raised my thigh in a way I had no idea I could before his hands stretched them up against his sweaty body and I felt his next thrust as deep as never before.

Fucking hell, this man is a sex beast!

“GOD! YEAH… Just like that, babe. Keep it going!” I screamed in his ear and pulled his hair without a care if somebody was entering that lame and dirty restroom and catching us in the act. The song outside was loud anyway, no one would ever hear us.

He grabbed my breasts in a wild and eager way, like wanting to have my skin for dinner, making me lose count of how many times I moaned to those lips having its way on my body. We barely fit in that cubicle, but we surely made a hell of a good use.

“If I only knew… cheating felt like this… I wouldn’t have waited so long…” he gasped in between his weary sobs as he started to thump my back on the wall, moving his hips as fast and hard as he could. And it was so driving me to the edge!

I had to explode in laughter when my orgasm finally hit me. He was damn right. Cheating sex was AWESOM…

“MEI!!! THAT IS NOT HOW IT HAPPENED AT ALL!! Stop transforming my sex life in a fucking… FANFICTION PLOT! It’s not how it happens and you know it!” Kim was fuming, her cheeks were red and she didn’t know if it was by shame or anger at her friend, who was red too but from laughing.

She had to put up with that damn headache, a hangover and her friend mocking her like that. That was not fair.

“Sorry Kim, I had to… When I saw you lying on the couch, clothes all wrinkled and stuff, that was the first thing that came to my mind. Are you sure it didn’t happen?” Mei smirked making Kim let her head fall in the table, giving up.

“Fucking hell! I would know if I… if I had had sex with that… man. Believe me, not even a thousand liters of booze could erase that...”

“So… what happened after I left anyway?”

“Will you let me tell the story now?” Kim raised her head finally, with a little more energy.

“Suuure!”

After YOU left me alone in that bar with the guys - obviously faking a headache - I had to start meddling on their gang…

“Hey! I really had a headache, okay?!” Mei interrupted.

“No you didn’t, liar! You wanted to go after Jimmy.”

“No I… How did you know that?”

Kim only gave her friend that cocky look, meaning she knew it all when it was about her.

So… I had to be part of their group, and believe me, those guys can drink…
Johnny was the first to leave cause his wife had called him three times only in that past half hour. Then Jess left with Zack acclaiming they had better things to do, not leaving doubts behind about what they would be doing when they get home.

And then the guys from the other band left too, leaving me, Matt and Brian talking about our lives and making small talk as the drinks arrived and arrived.

“So… Matt, Brian… I can tell… There’s a little tension between you two, my men! I can feel it from miles away. Even the waiter felt it. if you want I can go ask him.” I looked at both of them seating at my both sides and waited for the first reply as they traded tensed looks.

Yeah I know, I was already too loose to start that conversation that way. Thank god for liquor.

“No, there’s no need to ask anybody. You’re right…” Brian was the first to step in to my cue but that was about it. He didn’t seem very interest to deepen that subject now.

“Any of you cares to explain me what’s going on at Sevenfold alpha-male paradise? I hate to see you like this!”

“Go ahead, Matt. Tell her why you’re giving me a hard time.”

“What? Me? What… Okay, alright, he wasn’t showing up on most of our rehearsals last month and we really need to finish that album this year, and as the front man, it made me very angry, that’s all. But now it’s all good…”

“Really? All good?” Brian asked, ironic as hell, apparently waiting for something else.

“Hmm… It doesn’t sound ‘all good’ to me at all, Matty-boy. I can still feel the tension surrounding the big muscles here.” Oh god, did I really say that with those words, signing to his arms with my hands? As I said, too loose… too loose…

They were both silent for a while but I could almost see the lasers coming out of their eyes and it wasn’t the booze talking this time.

“Well…”

“What is bothering you so much, my dear front man? Spill it.” Brian made a weird accent, faking an Italian now, and I had to hold myself not to laugh. He was enjoying that.

“You know what it is.” Matt finally grumbled, drinking his scotch after.
I saw Brian shaking his head, like denying something he already knew. Apparently, I was the only one who didn’t know what was happening there.

“Just let it out of your chest.” I turned to Matt this time and waited for his explanation. He let out a big puff of air and started.

“I just… I just can’t believe after everything you put her through, she accepted you back just like that, man… It’s…”

“C’mon, Matt! What does your life have to do with mine anyway? She likes me, I like her, why not? It’s not like I’m gonna make the same mistakes again. I’m not stupid.”

“Wait… you lost me here. Who is her?” I had to meddle.

Brian set his empty glass on the table with a noise and stood up, leaving his money on the counter as I waited again for answers.

“You know what? It’s not only your life you’re affecting here, okay? And you know that.”

Yep, they ignored me. Why men always do that?

“Yeah, I know. And I don’t give a rat’s ass.” Brian was about to leave but he stayed and hesitated before finally talking again, looking straight into Matt’s irises. “Tell her to start minding her own business.” He was a bit angry now and before I had to separate those two because of the fire rising in their eyes, Brian turned his back and left. “See you around, Kim.”

And me… well, I was fucking clueless still.

“What was that all about?”

“He’s dating my sister-in-law to be. And you have no idea how much my fiancé is bothering me with this fact. I just wanna put a bomb inside Gates’ head and let it blow up, even if it costs me a lead guitarist. That’s how bothered I am.”

“Ohh… I see. Your fiancée hates him and she thinks he’s playing with her sister.”

“Yeah… Again. They used to date before… He was having his rockstar phase back then and he cheated on Michelle at every opportunity he had.”

“Oh wow… he’s such a whore!” when I noticed I had just cursed one of my favorite musicians to one of his best friends, I had to cover my mouth as fast as I could not to say anything more stupid. But it was too late. And yeah, I was right, he was a whore.

Matt only laughed.

“Yeah, he is. But he’s not even paid by the hour so… calling him a whore is an insult to whores.”

We both shared some good laughter on that remark and we both had a sip of our drinks together. Oh no, please, don’t let this talk get weird now!

“And what about Valary, why is she not here with you?” I was curious.

“Oh well she’s…” he sighed heavily, massaging his eyes and temples, looking so tired. “I feel like she’s mad at me all the time. She hates one of my best friends who’s now banging her sister, she’s not even caring about our wedding preparations and…”

“And?” I gazed at him, serious.

“And…” he finally looked me back, deep inside my eyes, and I had this strong goose bump going up my spine. “I’m not sure anymore… about… you know, marrying her…”

“He really said that? To you?” Mei had her eyes opened wide.

“Yep, he did… And I was probably the first to know.”

“Oh... Matt, really? I mean… you should talk to her about this or… I don’t know, tell her you’re having doubts. If you wait, it can be too late.”

“Did you… did you really gave him an advice? Why didn’t you just tell him to break up with her or something?” Mei mocked.

“Oh c’mon, you know I wouldn’t do that.” Kim drank her water and thought about it a little. “I wanted to. But I wouldn’t.”

“Yeah… you’re right. I just don’t know how to… to get to her. She’s slipping through my fingers and it seems like I’m just watching it.”

I was trying to find the right words to console that big upset man when my phone buzzed in the table, totally breaking the mood. Oh damn, who was it!?

I half smiled after mouthing a sorry, a bit embarrassed, and he watched me check my phone:

‘Oh fuck, Kim! I just read your chapter! You can’t stop there, you gotta update that thing yesterday! Get out of the bar and go write!’

I almost spilled my drink. It was Jess! Can you believe it? Guess she wasn’t doing what we all thought she was after all…

‘Jess, I’m busy right now. Go get your hands busy with Zack to follow the example.’

‘Nooo!! I can fuck him anytime I want. I need the next update NOW! Please! I left you a huge comment there, you better obey.’

I shook my head and held my laugh cause, you know… Matt was still there looking like hell and I needed to think of a way I could improve his mood. But now I was so freaking curious to see her damn comment. It was like I needed that to survive. So I opened the damn site…

“Oh no, you didn’t! In front of him?” Mei was incredulous.

“Yeah well, he wasn’t peeking at what I was doing anyway so I thought… what the hell. Then I could get back to his full attention. But…”

“What you doing in there?” as I read Jess’ comment very concentrated, I felt his breath in my neck which made my body jump high in startle. “Boyfriend?”

“GODAMNIT MATT!! Trying to kill me?” I placed my hand on my chest to prevent my heart from popping out as he went back to his chair chuckling. Hey, at least he was happy again!

“No, not at all, I’m just curious. Your face went like… all lighted up after you checked your phone. It just gotta be a man.” He replied with a bit of jealousy and that was when I thought I should stop drinking. I was imagining things already.

But I felt sad actually… He said it could only be a man. And it wasn’t.

“Remember? I’m the woman who’s single forever. It’s not a man, Matt.”

“I think you’re lying to me and you’re about to dump me here all alone to go meet this… John guy.” He grumbled.

“What?? Who the hell is John?? I think you had enough for today, dear. You’re all confused.” I said it in between chuckles but he seemed angry now, he wasn’t even smiling now. It made my smile disappear slowly. I was starting to be afraid of that guy!

Our eyes locked strangely but so intensely. I wasn’t afraid anymore. He was coming closer to me, in slow motion. Of course I was ready to stop him, whatever he was planning to do there. I would be stronger than my hidden feelings for him. I would never let him even think about… - BAM!!

As I was drowning in my own thoughts about his next move, he took advantage of my guards down and took my phone out of my hands as easily as it would be stealing a kiss from me there.

My first reaction was to jump on his back and try to take it back, but he was much taller than me. He started laughing as I tried to reach him by any possible ways like a monkey climbing a tree. I started laughing too.

“Matt!!! Give me back now!!”

“No, first I wanna see who he is. I need to approve him for you.”

“What??? Approve???” He was confusing me definitely. First he was all sad about his marriage going down the drain and now… he was worried about who I dated or not?? “You don’t get to choose a man for me. And GIVE THAT BACK, IT’S NOT WHAT YOU THINK!!”

He held it high as he touched the screen and… yeah it was too late.

“FUCK!!! Kim!! He… You… God, he saw it!” Mei was flabbergasted as it was her turn to let her head fall in the table.

“Yep…”

“Where’s the naughty texts… hmm where is it…” when he stopped to read I gave up trying to get it back. “Wher… oohh! You were… you were actually reading fanfiction? About… us?” he tried to hide his smile but I could tell he would mock me forever for that.

I finally took my phone back in my hands, feeling exposed and angry as hell.

“No, I wasn’t reading, okay? I was at the… the comment section. And what’s the problem with that anyway, huh?” I narrowed my eyes, just waiting for his reaction. I was hoping he would confess me that he reads too. But I should’ve known better…

“The problem? It’s… it’s just weird. But now I get it…” he pursed his lips and it brought me a frown.

“You get it?”

“Yeah, I get why you’re so behind at the dating department. You’re too busy reading this stuff and… have no time to live.”

I had no words left to that. I felt so… so insulted. He spoke like he owned the truth and he didn’t even know half about my life. Who does he think he is? I had to inhale a lot of air to start talking again.

“Not that is any of your business, but yeah, I do have time to live. So maybe I should not keep wasting it away here… Good night, Matthew.” My tone was harsh as I picked up my purse and shifted away to the exit.

“Wait!! Kim! C’mon, I didn’t mean to…”

“Yes, I left without turning back. And yeah, before you ask, I didn’t pay for my drinks. That was the least I could do for him in appreciation of his kindness.” Kim was sarcastic to the bone as Mei kept shaking her head in disbelief and laughing of her last sentence. “And that’s how my night ended… way different than you expected, huh?”

“Yeah… Well, he was an ass but think on the bright side, we still have that card against him. He doesn’t know we know.”

Kim shrugged. She didn’t even care anymore.

“I don’t wanna know about it anymore. It’s just… stupid. And to hell with him, we’re gonna stop updating that thing, Mei! I mean it, he won’t have a single word from me anymore. I’m gonna write about… I don’t know, Criminal Minds or something. But Avenged Sevenfold?? I’m done!”

Kim stood up from her chair very upset and disappeared inside the bathroom as her friend followed her with her sad eyes.

Did she just lose her beloved co-writer for good?
