Wicked

My eyes fluttered open, revealing my dimly lit room. It couldn't be past 8AM. To be sure, I checked my alarm clock - 10! Damn, my curtains must do some serious filtering. Jesus, why did I sleep so late? I didn't even drink that much. Hm. Whatever. I pulled myself out of my bed and stretched out. Alice was certainly going to sleep today; she drank a lot more than I did, and she was passing out in the car ride home even with the music blaring.
I yawned and opened my door, looking into the hallway. The apartment was quiet and extremely still. I went back into my room and changed into my running clothes. Grabbing my phone from the charger and slipping on my tennis shoes, I walked outside, leaing a note for Alice in case she did wake up.
Last night I had downloaded Alice's music onto my phone; I got really into the heavy metal in only a few hours, and I loved it. It was great running music, and it just made me really happy. A 5K later, I walked around the complex to do a quick cooldown and my ringtone beeped through my headphones. I tugged it from my pocket and looked at the screen - an unknown number to me sat on the screen and I answered reluctantly.
"Hello?" I breathed through my nose, not trying to sound like a freak to the stranger.
"Uh, Carter?" my breath caught. "It's Brian, hi."
"Oh, Brian, hi!" I let out a small breath, and smiled. "How are you?"
"Oh, I'm just fine. I just got home, and I thought I'd give you a ring. I hope I didn't wake you up or anything," I could hear him sit or lay down.
"Oh no, not at all. I actually just got done with my run." I made my way back up to the apartment and unlocked the door. My note was still on the counter, so Alice was still asleep. "Perfect timing, really."
"Oh! Great," he paused for a moment. "Hey, can I ask you this without being really creepy about it? Uhm, where do you live?"
I paused too, my brow furrowing. "Uhm, can I ask why? I really did just meet you last night..."
Brian let out a small sigh. " I was uh. Hoping I could see you sometime, and I wanted to figure out my chances. I live in Huntington Beach, and I wanted to know if you lived around there."
Huntington Beach? Damn, the rockstar life was treating him well. "Uh, actually, I live in Watsonville. It's about an hour and a half south of San Fran," moving to my room, I put the phone on speaker and peeled off my tanktop, closing the door as to not wake Alice.
"Oh." I could practically feel the disappointment in his voice. Huntington was almost a 6 hour drive from where I lived, and that was without traffic. "Well, okay. That decreases my chances quite a bit then.."
I looked at the phone, sitting in silence for a few seconds. "Brian? How much do you really want to see me?"
I heard him take in a deep breath, and let it out slowly. "A lot. I really liked what I saw of you last night, but I really just want to get to know you. I know you said you didn't want a one night stand, and that's not what I'm asking out of this. I just want a few days with you. You can hang out with me and the gang, and you can even bring Alice. Just..can you give me a chance?"
I pondered this for a few moments. What if we did go stay with them? I mean, what would it turn in to? Hopefully nothing too..intimate, but there's a first for everything, right? "Yes."
"Wh..what? What did you say?" he sounded surprised, like my reaction was nothing of what he expected.
"I said yes, Brian. I'd love to come see you again. I'll have to talk to Alice, and you and I can keep in touch to figure out the days, okay?" I smiled and held the phone close to me.
"Yeah, yeah okay. I can do that. Awesome. Yeah, great. Okay." he was flustered, and it was easy to tell. He must have noticed it too, because he cleared his throat and his voice changed a little. "But remember, I'm irresistible."
I gave a small laugh and nodded, though he couldn't see. "I'm sure you are. Now goodbye...Synyster." I let that last word hang out smoothly and before he could say another thing, I hit the 'END' button on the call.
Oh man oh man, I was going to be hanging out with Avenged Sevenfold! No strings attached! Hopefully...
I jumped in the shower, now more excited for the day to go on and Alice to wake up. There was so much planning to do!




`~`Brian's POV`~`

She laughed softly, and I could hear the smile in her voice. "I'm sure you are. Now good bye... Synyster," and before I could say another thing, I was greeted with the dial tone. Damn. A knock on my door tugged me out of my daze. "It's open." Matt came in, just peeking around the door. "How'd it go man? Did she say yes?" I had let Matt in on my plans last night after the party. In fact, he was the one who pushed me to do it this morning, too. He wouldn't have ever let me live it down if I didn't do it. "Well duh! I'm Synyster Gates, I can't be resisted!" I laughed and threw my arms up in victory. "Yeah yeah pretty boy. What'd she say?" He rolled his eyes and leaned on the doorway now, making himself more comfortable. "Well, she said she's gonna talk to Alice about it, and she's gonna let me know what days work for her. I was thinking they could stay for like a week? We could stay at Zacky's house, he's got room for all of us and plus some. ," I nodded and laid my arms back in my lap, leaning back in the small chair in my room at Matt's. We decided to crash here since his house was closest. "Yeah, sure I guess. Bring it up with him, though. It's not my house. We can probably invite Tessa and Terri over too, then I'm sure he'd be fine with it," Matt grinned and walked out of my room, closing the door lightly behind him. I tugged out my phone and logged Carter as a permanent contact. I sent her a quick text: Hey, we've got a place to stay. Just keep me updated Princess. ;) A few minutes later she responded with; Alright Syn. Just let miss thing recover from her hangover. >:)
I like when you call me Synyster, by the way. It comes off your mouth in a really nice way.. I sent her another text, soon regretting it thereafter.
She didn't respond for over ten minutes, and every second I was considering sending an apology. But when she did respond, I let out a sigh of relief.
Sorry, shower. But okay, I can keep calling you that if you'd like!
I smiled and nodded to myself. Yeah, please!
Synyster sounded so enticing coming off her pretty little mouth. I could still remember how it puckered when I leaned over her while dancing. And her body, ughhh. I don't know if I'll be able to control myself while she's sleeping a few rooms away from me. Hell, it's hard now and she's almost 5 hours away. She'll have to give in sooner or later, right?

Notes

This one's a little short, but it's also kind of a filler. We'll be meeting Tessa and Terri soon!!
