“Hey babe, you wanna come to my house?” Brian asked as I answered the phone.
“Didn’t I see you yesterday?” I snickered as I looked over at Jimmy. He was batting his eyes all femininely and I flipped him off.
“Yeah, but I miss you.” Brian retorted. I chewed on my lip, worried that I had went too far on the whole ‘special relationship’ thing. I mean we were only supposed to be fuck-without-fucking buddies, but we ended up being cute together as well. I guess it was sorta my fault everything became cutsy with us since I love being cute with a guy and Brian was the only one that would show me any sort of none-friendship affection other than Zach who didn’t count at this point. I looked over at Jimmy who was staring curiously at me and I sighed a little. “Oh God, that sounded really relationship-y, didn’t it?”
“Just a smidge.” I exclaimed. Brian chuckled a little and I held my breath.
“Sorry dude. Didn’t mean it like that.” I let out a big breath of relief, which made both boys laugh at me. “Anyway, I was gonna invite Jimmy, Emma, and Johnny too. You know just a normal chill out thing.” Brian explained. “Zach’s inviting Jordan too and if Matt feels like it he can invite Gayle.”
“So you mean you’re having an Everyone-But-Jimmy-Is-Taken party?” I giggled as I sent a wink to Jimmy.
“Still howling babe!” Jimmy yelled before roaring into wolf howls. Brian and I laughed simultaneously as Jimmy continued to howl.
“We get the point, Jimmy!” I called to him through my laughs. Jimmy stopped howling and laughed loudly before smiling proudly.
“Yeah, I’m having an Everyone-But-Jimmy-Is-Taken party.” Brian answered. I smiled and nodded before smiling at Jimmy.
“Okay. We’ll be there in a bit.” I announced before hanging up. I sighed and dropped the phone before giving Jimmy a guilty look. “I’m going to hell, aren’t I?”
“You’re going to the Lego bin.” Jimmy replied with a sympathetic look on his face. I groaned and laid back on his couch.
“Why did I ever think this was a good idea?” I complained.
“You should have come up with a better plan.” Jimmy sighed. I shot up and gave him an incredulous look and he just stared innocently at me.
“No. No, no, no. I’m not the one that thought up this plan. That was you.” I argued, glaring at him. He put his hands up and raised his eyebrows.
“Hey. I just suggested it; you’re the one that went through.” Jimmy countered. I let out a breath a defeat, knowing that he was right. At first it sounded like a great plan, but it turned out to totally backfire on me. I mean I don’t feel any different to Brian as I did when this began, except maybe some want for him sexually. I didn’t know if Brian felt any different for me, but the way we’re acting together makes me scared that he’d want more. But I mean he’s Synyster Fucking Gates, I don’t think he’d want to get into a relationship with his Friend-With-Benefit. Everything was just so messed up.
“It was your stupid idea,” I grumbled as I crossed my arms over my chest.
“Yeah, but you were stupid enough to think it was a great plan.” Jimmy smirked. I sent another glare at him and he flicked his eyebrows.
“Well if you knew it was a stupid plan at the beginning you shouldn’t have said anything,” I challenged, raising an eyebrow competitively.
“Maybe I wanted to test your level of knowledge,” Jimmy acknowledged, sending me a prideful look.
“But you should have realized that so many things would be in jeopardy by testing me like that,” I addressed, smirking a little.
“I thought you’d be smart enough not to do it.” Jimmy admitted daringly, his bluff written all over his face. I knew for a fact he thought this was a great plan in the beginning, but now he probably feels like shit for the idea totally backfiring.
“But you should know-”
“Okay, okay. Let’s not continue this.” Jimmy cut me off. I rolled my eyes and stood up. I stretched before grabbing his keys from the side table and throwing him a smirk.
“Whatever you say, James.” I sang as I skipped towards his door. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Jimmy shake his head and chuckle before pushing himself off the floor and following me. I jumped into his car, not wanting to drive my own, and waited until Jimmy was in the passenger seat before heading off.
“So what are you going to do?” Jimmy asked suddenly as I began driving down the street. I gave him a confused look before focusing on the road, not wanting to ruin Jimmy’s car for not paying attention.
“What do you mean?” I questioned as I turned onto Brian’s street. I saw Jimmy shrug and I shot him another look.
“Just that Matt’s going to be there while Brian’s there and maybe Gayle will be there too.” Jimmy announced. I almost slammed on the breaks in realization.
“I didn’t even think about that. Jimmy, what am I going to do?” I cried out in anguish. I began hyperventilating; suddenly wishing I could go home. I didn’t know how I would handle this situation; especially since I got caught the last time I thought I could handle it.
“Just don’t look at Matt. Don’t think about Matt. Don’t do anything that involves Matt unless it’s ordering for a drink. Just focus on Brian.” Jimmy ordered. I shot him a worried look and his face softened. “As far as everyone knows, you and Bri still have your little fling going on, so just pretend that you and Matt still haven’t worked out issues yet.”
“What if Matt takes it the wrong way?” I whimpered as I pulled up to Brian’s house. I took my time parking as I crept my way up to the curb.
“Just explain to him later that you did it so people wouldn’t be suspicious.” Jimmy offered. I nodded, my nerves on end, as I reluctantly turned off the car and unbuckled. Jimmy grabbed my hand and squeezed it, which caused me to look at him. I could tell he was worried for me, but he gave me a reassuring smile. “Just don’t worry about it, Kid. Everything will be fine.”
“O-okay,” I stuttered before sliding out of the car. Jimmy waited for me on the other side and wrapped his arm around my shoulders before we headed off in the direction of Brian’s house. Jimmy opened the door and we casually walked in to see we were the last ones. Emma and Johnny were playing cards on the floor, Zach had Jordyn on his lap and they were talking about stuff, Brian was sitting on the loveseat stretched out with a big bag of peanut m&ms, and Matt was sprawled across the big couch. Jimmy squeezed my shoulder before heading off to wear Matt was and laying himself on top of Matt. I giggled as Matt complained and I walked over to the loveseat, sliding myself down on Brian’s legs and criss-crossing my own so I was facing him. I smiled and he returned it as he popped another piece of candy in his mouth. “Give me one.”
“Open your mouth.” Brian demanded. I gave him a confused look and raised my eyebrows.
“What?” I questioned.
“I said open your mouth.” Brian repeated. I did as told and cautiously opened my mouth. Brian smiled and took out a blue one before looking up at me. “Tilt your head back a little.” I tilted my head a little and before I knew it Brian swooped his arm and a second later a piece of candy was in my mouth. I snickered and ate it as Brian did a touchdown dance in his seat.
“Give me one, I wanna try.” I told him. Brian held out the bag for me and I grabbed one and threw it at him, completely missing his head and landing on Matt’s food. I giggled childishly at the look Brian was giving me before grabbing another one and blindly throwing it at him, again completely going over his body.
“Are you kidding me?” Brian scoffed. I laughed and he raised his eyebrows. “Aim for my head, woman!” Jokingly, I grabbed an m&m and threw it at his crotch, which earned me a sarcastic chuckle from Brian. “Ha-ha, very funny. Now try to get the candy in my mouth or I’m not wasting my good food on you.”
“Don’t have to be mean about it,” I grumbled as I grabbed another one. I actually lined it up and closed one eye, trying to make sure it landed in Brian’s mouth. He had his head tilted back and his mouth open wide, awaiting his candy. I took a deep breath and threw the candy, praying the whole time that it’d land in his mouth. I squealed in excitement when it landed perfectly on Brian’s tongue. “I did it!”
“Good job, Kid!” Brian complimented as he gave me a high five. “Now it’s my turn.” We continued to throw candy at each other for a while, practically cutting out our surroundings. I could tell that everyone else was having a conversation, but I was barely paying attention. I only knew that Zach was holding Jordyn’s waist tightly and her body language showing that she enjoyed it, Emma was laying in between Johnny’s legs, and Jimmy was sprawled across Matt’s lap.
“Do you know what they’re talking about?” I whispered to Brian, not taking my eyes off him as I skillfully threw the m&m into his mouth for my fifth consecutive time.
“Nope.” Brian replied, popping the ‘p’. I shrugged and opened my mouth to catch some more candy. After a couple seconds of tasting just air, I put my head down and looked questioningly at Brian. Brian gave me a sexy smirk before grabbing a piece and setting it on his tongue. I grinned and pulled myself closer to him, happily locking my lips with his and scooping the m&m from his tongue. I was going to pull away when Brian’s tongue sped into my mouth and took the m&m away from me, which was signaling a battle of m&ms. My hand slid into his hair as I pulled him closer, making it easier for me to get the m&m, but after a few minutes we just stopped fighting for the piece of candy and began making out.
“Uh, excuse me, spit-swappers?” Zach cleared his throat. I smiled a little into Brian’s mouth but ignored Zach and continued concentrating on how soft Brian’s mouth was. I heard movement before a large hand shoved its way over my mouth, pulling me from Brian. I looked up to see Jimmy raising his eyebrows, and I showed him the mushy m&m on my tongue before finally chewing and swallowing it.
“Kudos to you on knowing how to suck face, but save it for later. Not everyone wants to hear your spit mixing together.” Jimmy announced, scrunching his face up. I smiled innocently at him and he rolled his eyes before going back to sit down. I turned myself around to lay against Brian’s body, getting a glimpse at a very broken-hearted looking Matt. Fuck. I laid against Brian’s body stiffly, suddenly feeling guilty for making out with Brian in front of Matt. Brian moved my hair over to one side of my head and kissed my neck gently, his warm breath sending chills down my spine.
“Later?” Brian mumbled alluringly into my ear. I bit my lip and nodded before jumping in to everyone’s conversation.

(Bonus semi-smut for our favorite chapter 69 ;))
“Well now everyone is gone,” Brian announced as he walked into his room. I smiled and nodded as I sat on his bed criss-cross. He walked over to me and leaned down, gently touching his lips to mine. I slithered my arms around his neck and he put his arm against my lower back for support as he scooted us up to his pillows, his body resting on top of me. “Now people won’t bother us about this.” He pressed his lips to mine again, gently sliding his tongue over my bottom lip, causing me to lose my breath.
“I’m surprised it was Jimmy who stopped us,” I breathed as Brian pulled my shirt over my head. I mimicked his movement and pulled off his tight white t-shirt as he stared longingly at me.
“He probably did it for Matt’s sake.” Brian suggested in a low voice as he unclipped my bra and threw it to the side. I nodded, agreeing with his assumption, before putting my thoughts back on Brian. Since Matt and I got back together nearly two weeks ago I haven’t done this with Brian, but now that I was back under him, the feeling of wanting to be with Brian—in a full-on naked body contact way—was back and stronger than ever. I mean, if anything, I could be with Brian since I’ve had sex with Matt, but Brian doesn’t know that and therefore defeats my chance at getting to bang Synyster Gates.
Brian’s hand slid over my breast and kneaded it gently as he slid his tongue into my mouth, swirling his with mine. I traced the muscles on his back, his arms, and his chest, getting even more breathless at the thought of those being on me. Brian’s mouth went to my neck and he sucked lightly, releasing a low whimper from me. I slid my hands down his chest until I reached the button on his jeans and unbuttoned them. I felt a moan against my neck come from Brian as I slid off his jeans, kicking them off with my legs. His hands slid down my sides and pulled off my shorts, which were loose on my waist. He threw them roughly across the room, making them hit the wall. Brian moved himself in between my legs and touched himself to me, allowing me to feel his hard member.
“Damn it, Matt. How long does it fucking take to have sex with a girl you are head over heels for?” Brian growled as he grinded his hips against me. I bit my lip, partially from the feeling of him rubbing against me, and partially from the fact that I could just tell him everything, we could have ‘break up sex’ and then go back to being just friends. But, keeping my word to Matt, I was going to make both Brian and myself suffer through this. “Sooner or later he’s just not going to get the chance to be the first.”
“What a sad day it will be for him…” I mumbled in a low voice, trying to play along. Brian grabbed my hip and pulled me up, his hips bucking against mine. I let out a small noise and Brian moaned, pushing his face into the crook of my neck as he slid an arm under my back to hold me up against him. I lost my breath, my body tingling as it pressed against Brian’s hot skin. I don’t know if it was the guilt for somewhat leading Brian on, or just the fact that I was really in the mood, but I decided that for the first time I was going to please Brian and just never tell anyone else. I pushed myself away from him and he pulled away, looking at me with confused eyes. “Lay on your back.”
“What?” Brian questioned, confusion completely covering his face.
“Lay on your back.” I repeated. Brian did as told and held onto my hips as he flipped us over so I was above him. I smiled gently down at him and he watched with curious eyes. I leaned down and kissed him deeply, my hands roaming his body. I trailed kisses down to his neck and then to his collar bones. I spent some time nibbling and sucking on his collar bones before kissing down his abdomen. I peeked up at him and watched as realization crossed his face, anxiousness immediately taking over. I smiled to myself as I kissed around his belly button and down to his love lines. I traced them with my tongue as I slid down his boxers, chuckling slightly at the whimpers escaping Brian’s lips…

Notes

Oh my sweet lord Jesus you guys you don't know HOW sorry I am about taking so friggin long!! That's why I'm making this announcement:
It is with a very heavy heart that... I'm putting Two Vibrant Hearts, as well as And In You I Confide, on hold until further notice. I know, I know. I'm screaming too. Just let it out. Trust me guys, I really don't want to do this, but as you can tell if I didn't put this on hold you'd be waiting for weeks at a time for a wimpy chapter. I'm just doing this because I've been really stressed about moving and starting a new school, I am so freaking homesick it's not even funny, and I just started school so I have piles upon piles of homework. No, this doesn't mean I lost my muse for this story, it's just that I want to be able to write good chapters for you guys and not feel rushed to get it out to you (trust me, I want to know where this story goes as well). So it may take only a week, but until further notice this story will be on hold. I'm planning on finishing up all the chapters (this story will end at chapter 80, fyi) before taking it off hold so I can update every other day or so. Again, I'm so sorry about this guys, I love you all :( ~Jessi
