Brian’s POV

MJ... I smirked to myself as I raised a Marlboro to my lips. It was an obvious abbrevation for something and I couldn’t stop questioning what her real name tasted like. I used to have the same problem with Dice when I first met her and would you believe if I told she hadn’t revealed her name up until now? Not that I had bothered myself by trying to get it out of her, but hey, it was intriguing. Don’t get me wrong, Dice is hot, but I’m not attracted to those insane chicks – that’s Shads field of play. I know she had a sweet side and as much as she repeated she hates us, Avenged dudes, she still put up with our each and every kink. And even brought a cute blondie to the bar. She obviously loved us. The things I’d do to that girl, there was something about naive blonds that just dragged me to them.

„Gates, are you even listening, dude?” Matt punched me in the side, bringing out of my dirty fantasies.

„What the fuck, man...” I breathed, rubbing my aching side.

„Zack here was telling something you may find interesting,” Unless it involved me and boning someone in the next five minutes, then I most probably won’t be interested. But however, I said nothing and carried on smoking, bringing my eyes to Vengeance. Well?

„Are you up for a bit of gamble, Gates?” What’s with the smirk, dude? What the hell was he playing at? My eyes squinted on his face. Good thing Jimmy wasn’t here, otherwise he’d declare his own Las Vegas just hearing the mention of a gamble. Speaking of which, this smoking was taking too long and I started fearing for my night’s prey. Dice could get MJ drunk, which wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, but then again... nah, I didn’t like those roofied sorority type of chicks. So we kinda had to hurry with our poison before MJ’s too smashed and Johnny has started hitting on her, leaving me without a good lay tonight. He was a dipshit, but I have to admit he had some slick moves.

„What are we talking about here?”

„You against me, the one who looses gets to clean out Shads garage,” What? I turned over to Matt just to see him grinning like an idiot. „Whatcha say?”

„I’m so down for seeing you on your knees scrubbing my garage spotless,” Matt threw his head back, exploding into laughter. The one place where not even Chuck Norris has had the gut to step his foot in? The prize better be worth the risk. „I could even get you a maid’s outfit.” Close your eyes when you dream, dude.

„Care to share the details a little bit more?” I flicked the ash, not being amused by this at all. I hated that Zack could never get straight to the point, he just pissed me off and than pissed me off a little bit more.

„Okay, okay, don’t get your panties in a bunch just yet,” He laughed. Oh I swear even tho that dick I fought off earlier drained me, I could deal with this shit head. Just for the fun of it. „The first one to fuck that pretty little blondie—„

„MJ,” I corrected suddenly getting very interested in the matter,

„Fine, MJ,” He rolled his eyes still the same playful smirk on his face as he continued, „the one who does it, gets well... to fuck that pretty little ass and Matt’s ’69 Chevy.”

My face dropped along with my jaw just when as I turned to look over Sanders, „What the fuck, man? What possible kink are you getting out of this to put your car on the line?”

„I needed to get rid of her either way.” He shrugged, „She drinks like a russian whore.”

Matt’s sweet ass car and that hot little blonde? „We have a fucking deal, Vengeance,” I held out my hand a wide smirk mirroring on my face. He took my hand in his, „But remember no crying over the loss.”

„Right back at ya’,” He grinned back. Actually, to think of it, Zack could be quite the trouble since the ladies absolutely loved him, but hell, there’s no way I’m gonna clean Matt’s garage. No one has been there since 1999 so you could imagine the way it looked now. Everything Matt thought he maybe may need someday he just threw there.

„Shads, get that Chevy ready for tomorrow, this will be a quick race,” I said, my eyes still on Zacky. „Oh and some rubber gloves and a gas mask for Vengeance here.”

„You’re forgetting something, Gates,” Matt spoke, „MJ has a guard dog.”

Who? Dice? Hell, it seemed like tonight she was on my side. Pouring tequila in her glass? Easy call. „I get she’ll be busy tonight,” I winked, pointing out to Matt’s desire to get between her legs. I stomped out my cigarette and headed for the door. Right when I opened it my eyes fell upon MJ’s fine body sitting right where I’d left her. At the bar across from Dice who seemed to be filling out some paper work.

„Thank god, that felt like an eternity!” Out of nowhere Jimmy was in my face and pushing a shot down my throat. Ugh, tequila. I grimaced in disgust not having even time to regain from the shitty taste, before he pressed another shot glass against my mouth. Absinthe? Did they serve anything good around this place?

„Fuck, Jimmy...” I gasped for air, pushing him aside, „That tastes like ass.”

„Didn’t know you were the one to play in defense,” Dice smirked, raising her eyes from the papers. RJ turned around to look me over with a drunken gaze. Fuck, Dice, why do you always have to ruin my plans?

„There’s a lot more you don’t know about him,” Zacky went around me chuckling as he took a seat next to MJ. Oh hells no, dude. You’re not fucking getting her. For this once I’ll step over my already low standards and fuck the drunk chick I met at the bar. Why not... Yea, I know I do it like all the time, but it’s never a good fuck, it’s just... something I need to do. That’s why I wanted for MJ to be at least partly sober, I wanted to hear her scream my name and know she realized who was fucking her breathless.

„So, Matt, how about that jukebox?” Dice smiled looking somewhere behind us with a side grin. She threw her pen over what seemed to be an incomes journal.

„Fuck the jukebox!” Jimmy yelled from beside me, making me nearly go deaf. „Who’s up for a roll of dice?!”

„You have to be joking,” I watched over our drummer and saw him radiating sunshine. Take that excitement a peg down, will ya’? Roll of dice may sound tempting, knowing we have a bartender named Dice, but in all honesty it was simply a game that involved body shots. You had to roll the dice and whatever number falls out it marks a person from which body you have to take the shot. Played it once. Was my absolute pleasure, knowing I was the only guy that time. Not now, obviously.

„Five guys and two chicks?” Matt seemed taken aback. I noticed Zack’s hand resting on MJ’s thigh. Didn’t seem she minded it tho.

„I could work with that,” Dice’s chest trembled as she laughed.

„That’s gay.” Zacky frowned, speaking what most of us was thinking.

„four guys and two chicks,” she corrected, before continuing. Was Johnny still passed out? Hell, he’d consider himself lucky. „and it’s gay only if you use your tongue, darlin’.” She winked.

„Get that tequila ready, Dicey!” Jimmy jumped up and down like a child on Christmas morning before opening his presents. How could he possible enjoy the thought of us licking each other was beyond me.

„What—what’s a ‘roll of dice’...?” MJ stammered out. Oh jeez. Somebody get this girl a bottle of water!

„Are you joking?” Dice stopped midtrack, eyeing her friend. She sat her hands on the counter leaning closer to MJ. „Oh, babe, you’re so gonna enjoy this...”

„But... don’t make her drink, Dice. She looks like she’s had enough,” Matt looked genuinely concerned. Fuck you dude, the more she drinks, the bigger the chance of me not licking your garage.

„I’ll pour her an amaretto,” She laughed dropping what seemed like her bag on the counter and fished out her custom made dice. I don’t believe she left her house without it. Like ever. „Okay, who’s the first to roll?”

„Me, me, me, me!” Jimmy jumped in his place, before jerking the dice out of her hand. She held up her hands as if surrendering.

„W-w-wait. Don’t you need to number us?” Zacky asked.

„Fine...” She sighed, „Number one’s Matt, two and three Zack and Gates, four – Jimbo, five – MJ and six as per usual – me.” She smirked. Yea, I remember her once explaining what hid under the name of Dice or more precisely what was her game. Number’s one and two – she’ll be nice to you, three and four – she’ll show you the door, five – you’re lucky you’ll be alive, so far so good with the rhymes, right? The last one doesn’t rhyme, but it get’s the point across... Number six – she’ll fuck you over so hard you’d wish you had another asshole to shit from. My suggestion to you? Don’t piss her off.

Before I knew it Jimmy was throwing the dice resulting in... drumroll... number... fuck. „Gates you’re up!” She called reaching for the bottle of tequila.

„Do I really need to do this?”

„Yes, now lift up your shirt!” Jimmy gestured as I got on the counter.

„And now try and tell me Avenged Sevenfold aren’t homo,” Dice smirked as I laid down on the counter.

„Let’s just get this over with,” I mouthed lifting up my shirt.

„Ooh, you smell fine, Gatesy-poo,” Jimmy sang out. Jesus Christ. I think I’ll drink the whole bar out after this. As I turned my head away from Dice’s evil grin, my eyes connected with MJ’s. She was blushing! Hell, maybe I’ll even enjoy this.

„Okay, Dice, do it,” I heard Matt and Zacky laugh not far from me as I squinted my eyes shut. After a single moment I felt the cool liquid pour over my stomach and then a set of lips pressed against my abs and I swear that was the most uncomfortable experience ever. Fuck, Jimmy, just...

„Done!” He announced and I opened my eyes to see him declaring his victory with raised arms. „How fast was that, Dicey?”

„Two seconds,” Dice raised her eyes from her wristwatch and impressive look on her face, „Okay I’m next, get off the counter Gates.”

„That’s my personal record you guys!” Jimmy mused cleaning his lips off the tequila, as for me? I wanted to clean Jimbo’s lips off my skin. The little red threw the dice and that fucking lucky son of a bitch. I can’t believe she got Matt! Without a second of thought he laid on the counter, lifting up his shirt and revealing his ink. Only a moment and it all felt like I was watching porn – Dice got on top of him with a naughty smirk on her lips. Before she poured the liquor over Matt’s body, her eyes connected with MJ, who by now was biting on her thumb as she watched the show in just arms reach from her. Once I saw that little smirk on her face, I felt my dick twinge in my pants. She could be a tease even if she didn’t realize it. A small chuckle rolled over her lips as Dice winked at her. If Matt wasn’t hard by now, then he must be crazy, ‘cause Dice did it tormentingly slow. It was really uncomfortable watching what she did to my front man, the way her tongue slid up his stomach until her lips pressed against his skin and I was forced to look away, since Dice wasn’t on tonight's to-do list. I could fuck her, she probably was amazing, but I didn’t want her.

„Oh get a room you two!” Jimmy shouted, his hands around his mouth. I turned back in the right moment to see her bite down on his skin, before she straightened up.

„Now will you fix the jukebox?” She eyed him with an arched brow, getting a good laugh out all of us.

„I’ll think about it,” he replied, before getting off the counter.

„Gates,” She nodded, handing me the dice. I took a deep breath, praying to get the little blondie. I noticed the way Vengeance was looking me and I swear he too was praying, but for me to fuck up. Not gonna happen. Tonight I’m feeling lucky. And I’ll be damned. My eyes connected with MJ.

„You’re up,” I whispered, sliding my tongue over my upper lip. This really was my lucky day. She was biting on her lip and I had to think about stinky old nuns just to get that bestial urge out of my head and avoid her fucking in front of my band mates. She got on the counter not saying a word and pulled up her shirt, revealing a perfectly flat stomach and milky skin. Was it just me or the room just got extremely hotter? I could only imagine what nasty things I’ll do to her later.

„Oh and Gate’s here will have a treat,” Dice said taking a slice of lime and putting between MJ’s lips. „She was the prince in shining armor tonight after all... See, I even took the peel off.” I’ll be fucking damned! She was on my side! Oh Zack, you’re so not getting this girl. I couldn’t bare but chuckle. Dice poured the Patron on her once I got on the counter top. Shit. If I don’t fuck her in the next hour, I’ll have the bluest balls known to man.

„You okay there, MJ?” I heard Dice say as I leaned in, tracing my lips over her soft skin.

„Mhm..” Was that a moan? Shit, I couldn’t bare but smirk as I sucked in the awful taste of tequila. I pulled away and went for the lime she was holding with her teeth. Fuck the lime. I didn’t need it. I needed her. It wasn’t enough with that high-school kiss back in the parking lot. I moved my way up to her mouth, teasingly slow taking the lime, before I got it down my throat and pressed my lips against hers.

„Enjoying the view, V?” I heard Matt laugh.

„Fuck you, man. I’m up next,” Yea, but that didn’t mean he’ll be lucky enough to get MJ. Before I pulled away I let my tongue slid over her lower lip. Something to remember me by and keep her craving more, ‘cause we all knew there’s a lot more to from where that came from.
