(Love) Contract

Brian’s POV

Matt was talking to Zacky and Johnny on the phone, or he was trying to while Jimmy was speaking between it and trying to explain everything what was going on in his mind.
I had shut down during the talk about half an hour ago, giving up on understanding what Jimmy was trying to say, he was just throwing ideas at us and I knew he already had a master plan in his mind. A plan none of us would know until it was too late.
That’s how Jimmy worked…

He would make everything out with himself, get lost for a couple of hours, sometimes days… come back and present us what he did in that time.
“Jimmy.. wait… I don’t understand… you want both?” Johnny asked over the phone.
“Yes... Damn… short shit, how often do I have to repeat myself, you make me sick.” Jimmy sighed and I saw Matt roll his eyes.
“So… your plan is to agree with that guy tomorrow, send Matt and Brian there to set everything up. How will we plan a freaking video shoot and a gig in what? 2 weeks?” Zacky asked.
“We won’t have that much time.” Matt said and I felt a hand on my thigh.
“You okay?” Tara whispered and I tried to smile at her, while a headache was starting at my temple, robbing me the last clear thought I was having.
“Yes, sure. I’m okay. Just tired… I mean… It’s already pretty late, so no wonder, huh?” I put my hand atop of hers and squeezed lightly.

“That’s all?” Tara asked after a moment of silence.
“Yeah basically.” And yeah basically that was a lie, but I hoped she would believe me for now.
I just wished to be done with this talk and get to bed, hold Tara close, this whole day was getting to me much more than I thought.
“Alright, if you are sure of that, I’m agreeing with Jimmy.” I heard Zack’s voice and saw Jimmy excitedly jumping up and down.
“Yes!” He grinned widely.
“Johnny what do you say?” Matt asked.
“I will go with the majority. It’s mainly concerning you guys, Brian and Matt… so you should decide.” Johnny said and I heard him sigh, it was late… for everyone and I thought he was right, mainly it was concerning me and Matt, but the whole band always was deciding together, so of course we had to talk with them about it.

“Matt?” Jimmy asked and I heard Matt sigh, then his eyes turned to me and Tara and I saw him look away quickly.
“I won’t say anything to this, no matter what I will say, it will be wrong… at least in Brian’s opinion.” I frowned at him saying that.
“What do you mean?” I got up from my chair and moved towards them, Tara walked with me and stood by my side.
Matt looked sad then spoke back to the phone, “We will decide what we do between us and inform you tomorrow, if I got everything correctly, you would agree on both ways, doesn’t matter what we decide, right?”
“Yeah...”
“Yes.”
We heard from Johnny and Zacky and I knew Matt would want to get rid of the phone call to talk in private.
“Alright, we talk again tomorrow. Goodnight, and sorry for the late night interruptions.”
“Don’t worry, man.” Zack said and hung up.
“We are there for you, no matter what… if we need to drive there, beat some asses, we are just a phone call away.” Johnny said and hung up as well.

“So, what do you mean, no matter what you say, I will understand it wrong?” I asked Matt and Jimmy sighed.
“Shit, is this still not over?” He asked and got between me and Matt.
I frowned, I didn’t want to start any fight, but I was just exhausted and this was making everything even more tiring.
"That's easy, if I would say, I will go with the Jimmy and Cara idea, for the video shoot, you will be pissed and think I am just doing this because I wanna make out with Tara…" Matt said and I lifted my eyebrow.
"Fuck, you think that?" I yelled suddenly my nerves getting the better of me.
"If I would say it the other way around, you would still think the same, but would think I was backing out for that reason, so tell me Brian, what do you want to do?! You make the decision on this. It's
your girlfriend. You are the main person here. I know Jimmy is making all these plans, and shit, but I want to know from you what you wanna do. NOW!" Matt stood toe to toe to me.

"Damn, hell if I know. I am freaking tired of this. Sure, I wouldn’t like the idea of you making out with Tara even if it is just a show for a video. But seeing you would freaking hurt." There I said it.
I saw Tara looking at me from the side, knowing I didn’t tell her the full truth earlier.
"But, I do think, we need to teach that bastard a lesson. We need to make him not come back ever again, not for Tara and not for our band. Not for a freaking show, so hell Jimmy, do what's on your mind. Set everything up and we will do it. I need to freaking sleep now... Tell us tomorrow, what we will tell that bastard and I will do it. If you don’t wanna come along Matt, fine with me. I will go alone." With that I turned around, having enough of all this, but I felt a hand on my shoulder stopping me.
"Brian, don’t... I fuck, I feel like whatever I am doing when I am around you, I am doing it wrong. I didn’t wanna upset you, alright. I will go with you tomorrow, no question about it." Matt said and I nodded, maybe he was right and I overreacted... shit, this was really getting to my head, I should better control myself.
"Sorry, I don’t know what's wrong with me. We talk tomorrow." With that I grabbed Tara's hand and left the room.

I opened the door to Tara's and my hotel room and sighed, when there was finally silence. I knew I should talk to Tara explain something to her but I just couldn’t, I felt completely drained.
"Come on, babe." She grabbed my hand and brought me to the bathroom. I didn’t have anything in me to refuse her so, I went along.
She began to undress me and I looked at her a little quizzically. Why wasn’t she demanding answers? Not that I was bothering what she was doing right now...

When she was done, she undressed herself and put the water in the shower on, she laid towels out for us and laid her arms around my waist, she pulled me close, laying her head on my shoulder,
while we waited for the water to get the right temperature.
"It's good now, come." She pulled me into the shower stall and I sighed when the hot water ran down my stiff neck and back.
Tara began to put soap in her hands and turned my back to her, she began to massage my shoulders and back and more and more I felt the stiffness leave my muscles.
I groaned and heard Tara chuckle a little. "You are not the only one with magic fingers, huh?" She grinned while saying this, I could hear it in her voice.

She kept on soaping up my whole body and then drowned me with water, I gave her the same treatment and some parts of her body needed more time than others.
"My breasts are clean, Brian." She sighed when I made another teasing move over her chest.
"Really? I think I missed another spot." I let my hands wander over her breasts again, pinch her nipples softly and Tara moaned.
"I think we are pretty clean, now." I whispered and Tara nodded at me, a lazy smile on her beautiful lips.

I grabbed the towel and wrapped Tara's body in it, then dried me and put one towel around my hips. I pulled her close while looking into the mirror, I could only make out our features, because
the steam made the mirror foggy.
"Thank you." I whispered in Tara's wet hair and she turned her head up to me.
"For what?" She asked quietly.
"Everything... I guess I needed this... needed the distraction, as much as I needed to take care of you and you taking care of me." I said and realized that was exactly what we have been doing.
I held her closer, putting kisses in her hair and to her cheek.
"It was a long day, babe. Come on, get some sleep... We can catch up with everything in the morning." Tara turned in my arms and kissed me, when I was about to intensify the kiss she pulled away.
"Get some sleep, Brian... not the other thing, you have in mind." She said and I nodded "Fine, but in the morning I will start right here." I bite her collarbone lightly and she moaned.
"Totally fine with that." She chuckled and we went to bed, I pulled the blanket over our naked bodies and pulled Tara as close as possible.
When I heard her even breathing moments later I sighed in relief, she was here, with me - safe...
I just needed to make sure it stayed that way.
