Mia’s POV
“Oh hell no! I’m never drinking as much as I did then.. Fuck, that was the worst. But then again, I can handle my liquor way better now” I defended myself.
Izzie laughed loudly, she was about to tell the story of me getting drunk the first time, since it seemed to be the time to exchange embarrassing stories. I saw her hesitate for a moment, knowing I would have plenty of stories to return the favour. She decided to take the risk and started telling about how I puked all over my dad’s car, him letting me clean everything in the middle of the night, while I was shitfaced.
“I wanted to help her, because I really wanted to go to bed and I was sleeping at her place, but her dad wouldn’t let me. She was out cleaning all night and I just sat there, half asleep, waiting for her to be done, until we finally could go to bed. I was already 5 in the morning by then, but her dad made us attend breakfast at 9. Not only punishing her, but me too.” Izzie closed up, Brian was laughing.

We were in this nice restaurant, it was nothing special, but the food had been very nice and there was some good live music, this was certainly a good choice of the other three men. We were in a booth at the corner of the restaurant, making us a little secluded, so we could enjoy are dinner quietly. I looked across the table and saw Brian with his arm around Izzie and she was leaning into him, it was sweet.

“That’s nothing... I did way more stupid things when I was drunk” Jimmy said, his arm around my shoulder, beer in hand.
“Yes! Damn! You remember that one time you got so drunk you got arrested in Amsterdam?” Brian added
“Oh fuck yeah, that was a little awkward”
“Jimmy got maced and arrested and all, didn’t shower, got to our next show immediately, because we were supporting Metallica. Half way through the show he just stopped drumming, Matt looked over at him, and just saw him sweating like a pig, squeezing his eyes, all the mace had gotten into his pores an when he starting sweating he just got maced again. It was fucking hilarious”
“It fucking hurt!” Jimmy said with a pout, I turned towards him and kissed him, making his face change from a pout into a facewide grin.
“And you’re one to talk Haner, I remember you lying in an elevator with your legs in the air, proclaiming some theory about playing guitar with your ass!”
Izzie had the full giggles now, not really able to stop “I can totally imagine that! For both of you! Ouch, my jaw hurts from laughing, please stop ... you guys are killing me” She was holding her stomach, shaking uncontrollably from her laughs. She took some deep breaths, trying to get to normal again.

“What about Izzie, Mia, you must have some embarrassing stories about her?” Jimmy kissed my temple and pulled me closer.
I put my finger to my lips, pretending to think deeply
“There are enough embarrassing stories about Izzie, but not really drunk ones. She barely ever gets drunk, she is way to controlled for that.”
“So you telling me you loved me while you were drunk was special in more than one way?” Brian put his finger under Izzie’s chin and kissed her softly.
“Come on Mia, this isn’t fair, now there is no embarrassing story for Izzie! You must have something else, hottie” Jimmy looked at me closely, as if he could draw the stories out of me by staring me down. I surprised him by moving forward quickly, kissing him.

“I could tell the story of the one time she went into this big ass college room with like 500 people in it, 20 minutes late, tripping over something, falling flat on her face”
Jimmy laughed loudly “Oh poor Izzie!”
“You forgot to tell them it was your foot I tripped over! That bitch just put her foot out!” Izzie pointed at me, making Jimmy laugh even harder, putting his hand up to high five me.
“The hell I did, you are just that clumsy!” I smiled widely, we both knew what happened there, and Izzie was far from clumsy.
“And you are a liar” she replied with a grin on her face.

Izzie’s POV
“So you two know each other for a long time right?” Brian asked me, playing with a strand of my hair.
“Yeah since I was 8 or something” I replied, smiling back at him.
“How did that happen?” Jimmy asked.
“Well, my mom and her mom were friends, so we got stuck with each other, but I think we hit it off, so we quickly got inseparable. I came on her holidays, she came on mine. I’m an only child, so I love the company and her brother and I got along too, so that was settled.”
Mia continued my story “We got to highschool I felt like I had to stick up for Izzie, if someone even tried to hurt her or say something bad about her, I would kick their asses. She was always so sweet, she didn’t deserve something like that” she smiled at me. I loved this story, it was our own ‘get together’ story.
“I never knew she was doing that, until we got to college and one night she told me.”
“Aw hottie, you are just too damn cute, I love you for being such a good friend” Jimmy kissed her again.
“I do too” I looked over at Mia, happy we were here, together.

“How did you go from needing help, to being the one helping? Kicking asses all over the place?” Brian asked me with an amused smile on his face “I mean, I remember a time you just yelled at me in the lobby of a hotel”
I smirked. “Yeah, that was a lie anyway” It seemed like a lifetime ago I told Brian he needed to be less full of himself because I had better. I can’t believe we only knew them for such a short time. Brian laughed loudly and took the time to kiss me extensively.
“Hey! Cut it out you two, you have company” Mia interrupted us. I stuck my tongue out to her, kissing Brian briefly.
“How do I got from that scared little bird to this awesome personality?” I laughed “Well, that’s all her doing” I looked at Mia, she put her hand out to me and I squeezed it shortly.
“She told me to stand up for myself, that I was worth being where I was and that everyone should adjust to my awesomeness, not the other way around. And she got me to believe it, during the years. Resulting in this ravishing personality” I joked.
“Thank you, Mia” Brian blew Mia a kiss.
Jimmy pretended to catch Brian’s kiss and put it away in his pocket “I’m the only one kissing this one, Haner, you are my best friend and I’m willing to share a lot with you, but not her.”

“What about you two? I mean, I get it, you are in a band and therefore friends? Or was it more a friends turning into a band kinda thing?” I looked over from Jimmy to Brian.
“The latter” Brian explained. “We’ve known each other for a very long time and we were all real busy with music. Jimmy was always playing an instrument, writing music. My dad played guitar professionally so I learned really young and we found relative souls in Matt and Zack. Johnny joined later, he is a little younger than us”
“Once we got into a room together, we were amazeballs, so we never stopped.” Jimmy added “So now we are just a bunch of friends, who happen to make money with the one thing they all love to do most. It’s kinda amazing if you come to think about it” he smiled.
“I thought you were just a bunch of guys that pretended to be a big metal band” I said, putting an evil grin on my face.
“Brian, you better tell your girlfriend to behave!” Jimmy said pretending to be offended. Brian grabbed my hands and looked at me angrily, barely able to hide his smile.
“I think I might teach you a lesson or two once we get back, I can’t just let you insult us like that. We have gold records, we have awards, we have thousands of fans.... You better take back those words” He moved his hands to my body, tickling me.
“Brian! Stop! I can’t take it.....” I could hardly talk anymore “Stop!”
“So you are ticklish huh? That gives a lot of perspectives” he grinned.

We exchanged more stories, laughed and enjoyed our food. I looked around and shared a little secret glance with Mia and I could read everything in her eyes that I felt too, sheer happiness.

Jimmy’s POV
“Should we go back to the hotel?” I looked at all our empty plates and then up to meet Brian’s eyes.
He shrugged and looked at Izzie “Would you like to go somewhere else?”
“Sir, here is a note for you, we should give it to you after dinner.” The waitress handed a small note to me and I recognized Matt’s handwriting right away.

“Guys, dinner is not everything to make a date perfect…
Don’t you think your girls deserve a little action as well? And no Jimmy with action I don’t mean what you have in mind… at least not yet.
We reserved a pool table in the small bar only a 5 minute walk away from the restaurant.
Girls, I suggest you team up and beat their asses.
Thank us later,
Matt, Zack and Johnny”

I grinned, he can read my mind. I would love to have some action, and he knew exactly which action I had been thinking about.
“Oh yes, I haven’t played in a while.” Brian smiled. “You really wanna play against me?” Brian frowned at Izzie who looked over at Mia.
They stared at each other for a moment as if having a conversation in their head then finally both nodded and Mia turned to me.
“Oh yes, you and Brian against Izzie and me.” Mia smiled at me and I looked over at Brian nodding.
“Fine, if you wanna loose, because hottie, Brian and I, we are good, just a warning.”
“Oh come on, you may have to give us a small lesson but I think in the end we can beat you.” Izzie smiled sweetly at Brian and he chuckled lightly.
“Let’s see… are we ready to go?” I got up from my place and held my arm out for Mia.
She moved to my side and we went outside, waiting for Brian and Izzie to pay, since he had the money we got from Matt.

When they arrived we walked the small distance over to the Bar, the sun was slowly going down and I smiled, this felt perfect.
“We gotta do this again when we are back home… Make a double date, walking on the beach, we could have a BBQ at Brian’s beach house and walk home. Does this not feel perfect?” I turned around and saw Brian pulling Izzie close kissing her forehead, he had such a peaceful expression on his face, that I couldn’t really believe that this was our Brian.
“Yes, it does. With you everything seems perfect.” Mia sighed next to me and I stopped her, leaning down and kissing her slowly and softly.
“Jimmy, enough of that, don’t mix up the teams, when we walk over the threshold of this bar, they are the enemy.” Brian grinned and that earned him an elbow to the ribs from Izzie.
“I show you enemy, babe.” Izzie grabbed Mia’s arm and pulled her away from my kiss.

They walked inside and Brian and I stared after them, each of us looking at one hot girl slowly disappearing from our sight.
