After All That We've Been Through

Brian's POV

"Come on, Gates, aren't you going to eat something?" Jimmy asked with his mouth full of rips from the resort buffet. He and Matt were tearing through their plates like they were garbage disposals, and I had to look away. How anyone could eat after seeing that was beyond me.

"Yeah, the foods fucking delicious." Johnny said after licking his finger tips. "You should really have some of these ribs!" I grimaced and let my eyes wander toward Fatal Facade as they came into the ritzy dinning room. My eyes were instantly drawn to the redhead wearing nothing a bikini top and short shorts with a coat draped over her shoulder. I clenched my fists under the table as every guys head in the place turned to look at her. Swallowing thickly, I looked away and took a large swig of my Corona.

This fucking blows! Doesn't she know it's fucking freezing outside? Where were her clothes? Who gives a flying fuck if this is the Great Wolf Lodge and they have a water park resort, it's the middle of February! Put some clothes on! And for god sakes I could see those perfect round nipples popping up from over here...this was some kind of sick and twisted torture. I'm sure of it now. The woman was a master of the blue balls treatment...

"For the last time, I'm not fucking hungry!" I raged, ripping my eyes away from Kady and pushing away from the table. I needed to get away from her so that she wouldn't haunt my thoughts.

"Whoa, calm down, Gates," Zacky said as he stopped me from passing him. "Whose got your boxers in a bunch?" He followed my gaze over to Kady and nearly choked on his beer. "Whoa..."

"I know," I hissed, running my hands through my hair before pulling out a cigarette. I needed something to distract me before I walked over and raped her ass right their on the buffet. Dinner and a show! "I need a smoke."

I quickly walked away from the table, grabbing my lined leather jacket off the back if my chair. The truth is that ever since I broke up with Kady, I had been a bear to everyone around me. I drank like a fish and I had gone through three packs of cigarette in a day. My system has been clouded with some substance ever since that day and it still wasn't having it's desired effect. All I could think about were her eyes, her lips, her laugh, and ugh her fucking voice. Not to mention her smoking hot body that she felt the need to flaunt every time she got the chance. Hell, just last night she wore the sexiest fucking dress I've ever seen to the bar. I have had a constant case of blue balls since we got to the resort yesterday.

I placed a Marlboro between my lips and lit up as the cold air hit me. There was a reason I lived in California, and this was it. This powdery white shit on the ground was the bane of my existence. I couldn't wait to go back down south...I just hoped we hadn't lost any more tour dates.

I danced around as I smoked, trying to keep myself from turning into a human Popsicle. As I moved, I suddenly felt something land on my head and I instantly threw it off.

"Oh come on, Brian, you're no fun!" Jimmy laughed as I looked down to see a plaid tracker hat in the snow.

"You dick, why would you even think I'd wear this?" I couldn't help but laugh as I pulled the fur lined hat over my hand to investigate.

"I know it's no beanie or fedora, but I saw it in the gift shop and had to fuck somebody up with it," he laughed, as I handed him my cigarette for a drag.

I chuckled and pulled the hat onto my head just as Jimmy exploded into a fit of laughter. "You look the the fuckin' brawny paper towel guy!" He roared, falling down on his knees and rolling around in the snow. Somebody was obviously getting way to much enjoyment out of this. "Please can I take a picture?"

"Fuck no," I laughed, kicking snow at him as he decided to make a snow angel. "This is for you only, baby!"

Jimmy roared again just as the door opened and there she was. Kady was huddled close to Marley as they both lit a smoke. Well, finally she decided to put some clothes on. I watched as the pair smiled, laughed, and talked in each other's embrace and I felt sick. I thought she wasn't into him? My heart plummeted into my stomach and to my horror she leaned forward and gave him a small kiss. So that was it? She could forget about me that easily?

"Whoa, what's Kads doing?" Jimmy asked, standing next to me looking like the abominable snowman. "She's giving Fitzy-boy the same look she had when she looked at you in that picture." And he was right...she looked happy. I felt like a dick for taking that away from her, and for what? Nothing because my stupid actions covered up anything that happened in Fatal Facade. My puke dive had more than a million hits now.

"Whatever she wants," I hissed with a locked jaw.

"Seems like you care an awful lot for someone who says they are not in love," Jimmy said followed by obnoxious kissing noises. I moved to shove him back into the snow bank but not before toppling down with him. The asshole tripped me, gaining us the attention of Kady and Fitz.

"Haha fuck you, asshole!" Jimmy screamed, throwing a snowball at the side of my head.

"I fucking hate you Jimmy," I laughed, snow balling him right I the face.

"Looking good, Gates," Kady called from the front doors as I stood up and started to head back Inside to get warm. "Whites a good color on you. It makes you look like less of a dick."

Ouch, well I guess I deserved that too, specially since the last time we spoke we were fighting. I carefully pulled out a wade of snow from the back of my collar just in time to whip it at her. I laughed at the shocked expression on her face as she brushed the snow out of the front of her coat. Now I bet she was regretting her wardrobe choice!

"You asshole!" Kady retorted before grabbing a large chuck of snow and hurling it at me. It hit me square in the face and falling down into my jacket. I shivered and danced, wiggling the snow out as the melodic laughter sounded in front of me. If she wanted to pay dirty, then this means war.

"Count me out, Kad," Marley said before rushing back inside the resort. I grabbed another handful of snow and the fight was on.

We threw a couple of shots back and forth until I had her cornered but the snow bank with no where to run. A wicked smirk came over my face as I took a step towards her. Oh, Parker was about to get!

"Don't you even think about it!" Kady growled, her eyes dark and dangerous. I felt my dick twinge in my pants, feeling the excitement come over me from being so close to her body. Without warning, I dived forward and tackled Kady into the snow bank.

"Fuck it's cold," she yelled, trying to push me off of her as I laughed. "Get off me!" It was at that moment that I realized how close we actually were and I couldn't fight the urge that was coming over me. Before I could stop myself, my lips pressed to Kady's in an urgent kiss. It seemed like ages since I last kissed her and this one sure as hell didn't disappoint. My hand quickly moved up to grab her snow matted hair as she moaned into the kiss, giving me full access to her mouth. For a few moments our tongues danced together in pure bliss before I felt her push me off.

"You asshole!" She hissed before slapping me in the face and climbing out of the snow.

I gapped as I watched her turn and walk back inside, her back side covered in wet snow.

"What the hell was that?" Jimmy asked, suddenly appearing at my side and taking a seat next to me in the snow.

"I have no idea..." I sighed, moving my hand up to touch my burning skin. What the hell happened?

I hate winter....

Notes

Why did Kady slap Brian? Did he deserve it?
