Chapter 8

Charlie’s POV

Lil Red was peeking through the curtain every now and then, really distracting my sheer focus from the TV. I stuffed myself with popcorns, and watched as she anxiously waited on someone like cat on alert. Whenever she heard sounds of honking or growling engine of our neighbor’s car she would immediately ran to look outside.

“Just who the fuck are you waiting for, Red?”

“Christ.”

“Wow. Are you waiting for the ultimate call from above?”

“Johnny. Johnny Christ.” She huffed, throwing a small pillow at me and I caught it skillfully. I raised my eyebrows, remembering the bassist from Avenged Sevenfold whom I rarely talk to. Well, I rarely talk to anyone from that band except for Matt. Ever since he beat me in COD at Mayhem, I challenged a rematch, maybe using another round of game. He accepted it gladly and we’ve been in touch ever since.

“We’re gonna be touring with them soon and you’re meeting him? Why?”

“To discuss things about the tour, I dunno. Fuck off.”

“Or….are you going on a date with him?”

“Beats me, he just said that he would pick me up so here I am. Do I look okay?”

“Stunning as ever.”

“Aww, you’re the sweetest.” Lil Red went closer to hug me but I stopped her.

“Yeah..I have needs.”

She glared with her arms crossed. “Fine. I’ll get some Krispy Kreme for you.”

“Yayy, you’re the best Red. That’s why I love you.”

She stuck a tongue at me and seconds after a growling sound of car approached our home and she quickly opened the front door. I shook my head and continued to watch Breaking Bad on TV.

“Look who’s here, Charlie.”

I spun around in my couch and gasped as Matt walked in, with his backwards cap on and his flannel shirt adorned on his toned body. I bit my lip without realizing.

“Can I ask you something, Matt?” Lil Red spoke before I could say anything.

“Yeah?”

“What’s up with your bassist? He asked me to be ready an hour ago. Where the fuck is he now?”

“Um…I don’t know. But I already kicked him out of my house.”

Lil Red rolled her eyes and stomped off to me, getting her car keys and her messenger bag. “I’m off. Don’t stay up too late, you two. Bills are getting high and we’re broke.”

With that she stormed out of the house, leaving me and Matt staring at each other. This was actually his first time being here. He’d never made a move to come here before. Usually we only played online as a multiplayer and only spoke in headphones. But now, here he is.

“What are you doing here, Matt?”

“Have you heard?”

“What?”

“That we’re going on tour-”

“Yeah I heard, dude. It was on the fucking news.”

“Really?”

“I was kidding.”

He chuckled nervously and I noticed his eyes were glaring at me from top to bottom. I looked down to my own attire. I was wearing boy shorts high above my thigh and an oversized Sullen tank top.

“Which brings us back to why are you here?”

He shrugged and walked on, looking around the house. “I just wanted to see you.”

“What for?”

“No reason. What are you watching?”

“Just some Breaking Bad rerun. I’ve watched this part like thirty times.”

He invited himself on the couch and made himself comfortable on it by spreading his strong arms wide and nodded his head a little.

“I guess it’s a little too late to say ‘make yourself at home’?”

I sat back down beside him and folded my legs, still stuffing myself with popcorns.

“Do you know you could get fat with that?”

“What, with these? Hell no. Popcorns are fucking nutritious and you should shut the fuck up.”

Matt laughed and tried to grab some from my bowl but I turned away, preventing him.

“This is my popcorn. Get your own, dude.”

“Oh come on! You have like a whole factory of them there. Have mercy!”

“No! Don’t even think about it!”

“Charlie, give.me.some.fucking.popcorn!”

“Neverr!!”

He tried and tried to grab the bowl from me but I kept fighting until he pushed me down on the couch and making the popcorns flew all over and scattered on the floor.

Great now who’s gonna clean up all the mess?



Matt’s POV


I held back the temptation to wrap my arms around hers when I saw her looked so cute in that shorts and Sullen tee. But she treated me like a buddy, I don’t know that if I make the next move, it will be awkward between us. So far she hadn’t shown any interest in me. Regardless I am M.Shadows or just Matthew Sanders.

Now she was underneath me, with popcorns all over her face and she smelled so fucking sweet. I’m not sure whether I can hold my temptation any longer.

“Look what you’ve done!” she whined and scanned her view to the messy floor. “Red’s gonna be pissed. You know she’s a bit of a clean freak and like a mother to me.”

I dazed watching her talked, without even moving my arms from resting beside her head and she was shuffling beneath me, trying to get out of the limited space between us.

Maybe now’s the time? Just kiss her, Matt. Just once, and see how she’s gonna react.

But if she pushes me away, I will lose her. I don’t want to lose her, not as a friend at least.

But this is your ultimate chance! She’s vulnerable and she’s under you. Usually when women get underneath you, only one thing could happen.

“Charlie, I..”

“Oh no no. Don’t lead this to anything mushy cause I’ll kick your ass out of my house right now.”

Damn it. I wasn’t even close to kissing her and she rejected me right away? Think of a cover up, Matt! Think!

“I was just..going to tell you that I’m fucking hungry. And popcorns aren’t good enough for me.”

She groaned and pushed me away, making me fall back to the couch. I tried to cover my anxiety with a laugh and I’m pretty sure I nailed it.

“If you’re here to mock my nightlife Matt, just go away. Now I have to clean this all up and there goes my dinner!”

Charlie bent over and picked up all the popcorn pieces on the floor and I found myself having difficulties to breathe from watching her ass sticking out to me.

“That’s it, Charlie. I’m taking you out to dinner.”

She stood up straight. “What?”

“Let’s go grab dinner, I’m starving.”

“Oh no no…you think you can ask me out on a date like that? You have to run some obstacles first, buddy.”

Charlie was sure being frustrated tonight. Maybe I should just kiss the fuck out of her and be done with it.

“Who says it’s a date? It’s just gonna be two people, grabbing a bite to eat, and go home.”

She raised her eyebrows at me. “Okay then. Wait here.”

“Oh but I wanna see your room! What’s your room look like? Mine is just full of band posters you can’t even-”

I was so close to approaching the door that says ‘CHARLIE’S ROOM. KEEP OUT’ but then she quickly ran towards me and held out her arms in front of the door. I stopped in my tracks.

“Don’t even think about going in my room.”

“Why? What are you hiding in there? Come on. It couldn’t be that bad.”

“It’s THAT bad, Matt. Trust me. And you should read this sign. Read it, understand it, and live with it okay? Now go back to the couch.”

I narrowed my eyes at her but she widened hers, making sure I obeyed her order. I don’t have any choice, do I?




Charlie’s POV

Damn this guy is making my heart beat like crazy. Being underneath him was fucking insane enough for me and now he wanted to enter my room? No chance in hell, dude. I shut the door behind me and stared at the interior of my room. If Matt saw this, he will be choked and shit bricks. Posters of him shirtless were all over my walls. I am a perverted like that. And I won’t let him know about this.

I dressed myself casually with Arctic Monkeys hoodie and basketball shorts that I stole from my brother long time ago and settled my feet with a pair of black Vans. No makeup on, not even eyeliner and if Matt was disgusted by my natural look, he can fuck himself off.

“I’m ready.”

He looked up to me. His hazel-green eyes greeted me warmly as a set of dimples plastered on his cheeks.

“Cool. Let’s go. I know a cool pizza joint.”

He didn’t seem to mind about my outfit. I dressed like a boy. No parts on me shown that I have curves or anything and I pulled my hoodie up, hiding my long blonde hair. Is he really one who doesn’t care about how a girl look or he just doesn’t care about me at all?

*~*~*~*~*~

We’ve arrived at the pizza joint not far from where I live and I was quite impressed of how the hell did he know places like this when he doesn’t even from around here. He killed his engine and I immediately got out of his truck. I don’t like waiting for men to practice chivalry on me because to be honest I don’t deserve it.

“So, you’ve been here a lot of times?”

“Yeah. They have awesome nachos. You should try.”

I shrugged and pulled my hoodie back up since they were down from me head banging in his truck to Led Zeppelin’s Immigrant Song.

“Hey Franco. How’re you doin’ buddy?” he greeted the shop owner with bro handshakes and the Italian guy accepted him warmly. He had this really thick mustache with curls on each ends that you would think; he must be Italian.

“This is my friend, Charlie.” Matt introduced me to Franco and I shook his hand with bro handshakes too.

“S’up, man.”

“Any friend of Matt’s is a friend of mine too. How long have you known each other?”

Matt and I exchanged glances. “Couple of months.”

“Cool. Please be seated. Matt, take him to the usual booth and I will prepare a special kind of pizza for you both okay?”

After that Franco left and I saw Matt holding back his laughter.

“What’s so funny?” I asked when he started to pull me to the farthest booth in the shop, located really discreet from others.

“He thinks you’re a boy.”

I landed my ass on the chair, opposite him and laughed shortly. “Yeah I get that a lot.”

“Tell me why, Charlie.”

“Tell you why, what?”

“Tell me why are you acting like a guy and not like your other band mates?”

“Jeez, you’ve only known us for a short period and now you’re judging? Real charming, Matt.” I ran my eyes from him and started to play with salt and pepper on the table.

“I’m not judging. I’m just curious. Because…you’re..” he stopped right there. I was waiting for him to finish but I noticed that he was fumbling with his own words.

“Because I’m…what?”

“Um, nothing. Forget what I said. So, you should meet Jimmy. I know you guys can click because you pretty much resembled him.”

“I met him alright. It’s just he doesn’t have his eyes for me. When we talked he always asked about Hannah, his eyes always looking for Hannah so,”

“What, are you jealous?”

“Fuck no. I wanted to share my drum techniques with him. Maybe we can even battle someday but of course I’ll lose. But he doesn’t seem to care. Whatever.”

“Oh Charlie…I didn’t know you could be so sensitive..”

“Shut up Matt.”

He laughed and I just can’t stop staring at his beautiful dimples. Damn this guy can make me wet just by looking at his smile.

“Tell you what. I’ll talk to Jimmy and maybe when we’re on tour you guys can do soundcheck with us.”

“Hah. I don’t need your help.”

“See? Always acting tough. I know you wanted to play like him, everybody does. Even I admit his talent in drumming but if you don’t ask, he’ll never know.”

“Okay, doc. Do whatever you want.”

I held both my palms up and he sighed. After that Franco appeared with a gorgeous looking pizza ever and we dug in, continued to talk like two buddies with no strings attached.

My heart ached to not being able to be a perfect girl for him, but I’m happy like this. Just being by his side, as a friend, nothing more, and nothing less.



Matt’s POV

I drove her home in silent, because she was sound asleep in the passenger seat. The distance between Franco’s pizza joint and her house wasn’t that far apart so actually I have arrived in front of her home in about an hour ago. I had to drive around a few more times just to let her sleep a little longer.

She looked so peaceful in her sleep I just don’t have the heart to wake her up. But remembering that we have to get ready for the tour and I haven’t packed yet, I parked in front of her house again, for the fifth time.

“Charlie..” I called her softly. Fuck, she’s beautiful. I wanted to tell her that. But I’m afraid of the consequences. What will she think of me if I suddenly make a comment about her physical beauty? She would throw a fit of course.

She stirred in her sleep and turned her body towards me. I had to stare. Her thin lips looked soft and inviting. Her eyelashes rested on top of her cheeks, clashed with the tiny detailed freckles on her skin which I found so adorable.

Without knowing I approached her face nearer, Pierce The Veil’s I’m Low on Gas and You Need a Jacket blared softly through the speakers, acoustic version, since she was the one who inserted their CD in my stereo earlier.

My fingers moved on its own accord, I can’t prevent it. I ran them through her blonde hair, making her hoodie fell down to her shoulders and I got closer. Closer until I felt the warm breath of her soft snore on my lips.

Just this once Matt.

I slowly pressed my lips on hers, wishing I could get an entrance somehow but I know that’s not going to happen. Her lips tasted warm and sweet, I wish we could be more than friends so I can taste it again. I kissed her lips one more time before I parted. She looked clueless and undisturbed.

“Charlie..we’re here.”

Still she didn’t wake up. Man, at this point I swear I will have a boner.

“CHARLIE MOTHERFUCKING KINGS! WAKE YOUR ASS UP BEFORE I KICK YOU OUT!”

“Wha? Wha? What happened?”

She jolted from her sleep when she heard me scream. I controlled myself not to laugh at her bewildered expression.

“Oh we’ve arrived. Why didn’t you wake me up?”

“I just did.”

“And you couldn’t be louder than that? You can wake the whole neighborhood up, asshole.” She scoffed and suppressed a yawn after. I was distracted by that set of lips but I quickly regained composure.

“Well, thanks for dinner. See ya at the tour, buds.”

“Yeah. Sleep well, dream of me.”

“Not in a million fucking years, Shadows!” she yelled after she got out of my truck and flip a finger at me. I chuckled and shook my head.

Well, at least I tried right?
