Zacky's POV

After helping Matt out with a few songs on the new album as everyone else left, we called it a day. I got a ride from Matt and we decided to go and get some lunch.

“So those 2 girls we met at the club last night...Emilia and Renae...they're cool chicks.” I looked over at him and nodded.

“Yeah they are. Especially Renae.” I said the last part in a whisper hoping he didn't hear me.

We stopped at a sandwich place and got out. We stood in line and ordered. Once we got our food, we went to go and find a place to sit.

“I take it you're into Renae.” I nearly choked on my soda. I stared at him, he stared back at me.

I quickly went back and about to dig into my sandwich and saw from the corner of my eye, a grin appearing on Matt's face. “You do! Oh man and you just met this girl last night. Wait, you had spent the night with her in her room too. Wow who knew so much 'chemistry' can happen within a day or so.” He chuckled. I shoved him a little and shook my head.

Was I really into Renae? I mean yeah I just met her and all. I still have yet to get to know her. But wow once our hands touched it was like a spark that intensified. I shall make this my goal/mission and get to know this awesome girl.

“How's the wife and kid?” I asked him with a mouth full of food.

He threw a napkin at me. “Don't talk with your mouth full! And they're great. River is getting pretty good at playing drums and Val is just lovely like always.” He smiled.

I knew he simply adored Val. Now that they had a kid together, the adoration was more than ever. Especially for his son too. I hope one day I can have a family of my own like that...with Renae.

We finished up our sandwiches and took out drinks. Heading back towards the car. We talked about possibly throwing a barbecue this weekend. It was a much needed thing since all we've been doing is nothing but work since we've been back from tour. We shook on it and agreed that the party will be this weekend. Matt drove up to my place and dropped me off.

“Invite Renae and Emi too. Or tell Brian he can invite her. Which ever works best.” He laughed. We waved each other goodbye and I walked up to my house. Opening the door and quickly running upstairs to take a shower.

I'm taking Renae out on a date after just meeting her. Was I crazy? Yes possibly. It's just 1 date for now and then the next month or so, I get to know her and she gets to know me. I got out of the shower and dried myself with the towel. I walked into my bedroom and opened my closet, seeing what was in there that I can wear.

I took out a black short sleeved buttoned up shirt with a skull on the pocket and a red tie. I slipped on some black jeans and a pair of socks before walking back into the bathroom. I put some gel in my hair and combed it back. I quickly put on some cologne and took on last look into the mirror before hurrying down the stairs.

I looked up at the time. It was a little early. I decided to have a beer and sit down on the couch watching tv. I had only closed my eyes for just a second. When I opened them and looked at the time, it seemed like time went by at warped speed and was already night. 9:00 to be exact.

Which meant Renae was probably off work and already at her apartment. I threw the empty beer bottle into the recycle bin, put a little more cologne on hoping Renae doesn't smell the beer from me, and popped a mint in my mouth.

I got out of my house and walked to my car. I took out my phone and called her.

“Hello?” She said once she answered.
“Hey Renae, it's Zack.” I spoke.
“Well hello there, but please call me Ren. Unless you got a cute nickname for me?” She teased and I laughed.
“Did you have a nice dream when you left?” She asked. I snickered at thinking of what happened this morning.
“Hmm maybe so. Well just calling to let you know that I'll be there in 2 minutes.” I said while adjusting my tie.
“Alright I'll see you then.” We said goodbye as I hung up and started my car. She didn't live too far so I decided to just sit there for a bit.

I sighed and took a deep breath. Why was I so nervous? With the others I wasn't all that nervous. But with Renae it was different. It was a good different too. 2 minutes had passed as I started up the car and slowly drove up to hers and Emi's apartment. I parked the car and got out walking upstairs and to their apartment. I rang the doorbell. Renae answered the door and my jaw dropped. She looked absolutely gorgeous! Apparently she had the same reaction towards me because her jaw dropped as well.

I licked my lips and smiled. “You look amazing.” I choked out.

“So do you handsome.” She winked and smiled.

I was about to take her hand when I noticed there was other people in the apartment. Arin and Johnny were watching tv pigging out on pizza and beer while Brian was sitting next to Emi as she held an ice pack onto her face. She looked like she got into a fight.

“What happened to Emi?” I whispered to Renae.

She sighed and shook her head. “I'll tell you in the car.” I nodded and took her hand into mine as we said goodbye to everyone and I lead her down the stairs walking towards my car.

“Aww my little Zacky is all grown up. Be safe kids!” We heard Brian yell out before the door closed. We looked at eachother and laughed, shaking our heads.

I walked over to her side and opened the door for her. She smiled and slowly got it. I closed the door and got into the driving side. We drove off and headed to a nice restaurant I planned on taking her out to.

As we were driving, I looked over at her and noticed a slight bruise on her face. 'It seems Emi wasn't the only one who got hurt' I thought to myself. I decided I'll ask Renae about what happened later. This was out night and I wanted it to be perfect.

Emilia's POV

Renae and Zacky had left to go on their date. Which means I'm stuck with 3 drunk and crazy guys. From what Brian told me, Matt was going to come by and pick them up so he can drop them off at their houses. Brian was sweet and got me an ice pack from the freezer. I held it onto my face and sighed.

“I can't believe I literally had to manhandle that bitch. She really thought I was hitting on her boyfriend.” I shook my head.

Brian gently kissed my forehead. “If you ask me, I thought that girl fight was hot. But you...wow...made it hotter.” I blushed and tried to hide my face. I felt my face being lifted up. Brian had his hand under my chin.

“How about we get out of here for a little while? Just you and me.” He smiled. I smiled back then turned to look at Arin and Johnny.

“Well since Matt's going to pick them up soon, tell him that the spare key is under the door mat. So he can lock up when they leave.” He nodded and took out his phone to call Matt.

I got up and went upstairs to go wash my face. My clothes were a mess so I decided to just change into a purple v-neck shirt and slipped on some black shorts. I put on socks and my black checkered vans. I took a quick look in the mirror.

I didn't look too bad except for a little discoloration where the bruises were as well as a few scratches but I was fine. I decided to put a little bit of makeup on over those areas just so I can make myself look decent and not like I just got ran over by a truck.

I heard Brian tell the guys that Matt was going to come by to pick them up as I came down the stairs. I put my hair up in a pony tail and grabbed my keys. The guys nodded and said goodbye as Brian and I walked out of the apartment and to his car. We got in and he started the car driving off to who knows where. We sat in silence for a few minutes.

Something caught my eye as he had his hands on the steering wheel. It was a wedding band. I looked down at my hands.

“So it's true. You actually are married.” I quietly said. I did here rumors and what not that he was married but didn't want to believe it.

He quickly looked over at me then back at the road. “Yes...well no...I mean technically I am married. But I'm divorcing her. Michelle I mean.” I nodded still looking down at my hands. I can't believe I didn't notice it earlier! I'm not the type of person to fall for someone who is married. That's just not me.

Once he said that he's going through a divorce, I looked up at him. A hint of hope was there. Maybe there may be a chance to get together with him after all. Although me just jumping so soon wouldn't be a good idea. I may love to have fun and act a bit tough but I know my boundaries. I'm not that crazy...or am I?

I took a deep breath and looked out the window. I noticed then that there were water and sand not too far. We were at the beach. I got out and Brian turned off the car, quickly getting out too. I opened the trunk of the car and took out a blanket.

He lead me out onto the sand and laid the blanket on top of it. He sat down on it and I soon followed. “Wow this is beautiful.” I said staring at the water.

Even though it was dark, the moon had some light to it and it just looked breath taking over the ocean. “Yeah it sure is.” He turned to me and took my hands into is.

“Emilia...I know we just met and I want us to get to know each other better. I was wondering if you'd like to go on a date with me this Friday?”

I stared at him and thought about it. Today was Wednesday which meant Friday was just 2 days away. And...did he just ask me out on a date?! Wow I can't believe it. This is going to be kind of weird since he'll be going through a possible divorce and I don't want to feel like I'm being lead on. I felt bad for him though. But if something happens between us then so be it.

I blinked and smiled. “Of course I'd love to.” He had a big smile on his face and pulled into a hug. “Awesome it's a date!” I giggled and hugged him back.

Renae's POV

Zacky and I had arrived at a nice Italian restaurant. He parked the car and got out. Quickly going over to my side and opening my door. I smiled as he helped me out of the car. We walked hand in hand to into the restaurant. As the waiter showed us to our table, Zacky let go of my hand and pulled my seat out for me.

“Thank you.” I sat down and pushed the seat up to the table. He went to the other side of the table and sat down as well.

We both looked at our menus thinking of what to order. I put my menu down, taking a sip of the red wine Zacky had ordered for us prior to getting to the restaurant. Apparently he's either been here before or wanted this to be special. As I was sipping my wine, I noticed that he was staring at me. I self consciously fixed my hair and dress a little thinking it was out of place and why he was staring at me that way.

“Did I ever tell you that you look amazing?” He said with a smile.

I sighed in relief and smiled back. “Yes you have. But please keep going. I love getting these kind of comments coming from a hot guy with gorgeous green eyes.” I winked.

He laughed and took a sip of his red wine as well. The waiter cam back and we had ordered what we wanted. I got the chicken fettuccine alfredo and he got the ravioli with sausage and meat sauce.

As we waited for our food to arrive, Zacky cleared his throat. “I'd like to get to know you. Would it be alright to ask you a few questions? You can do the same with me too.” I nodded to him. “Okay what's your favorite color?” He said. “Green, what's your favorite movie?” I asked and took another sip of my wine. He sat there and thought about it. “Return of The Living Dead.”

It kept going on for about a good 10 minutes. Found out his favorite color was green as well and he likes skulls. I do too! I told him my favorite movie was Nightmare Before Christmas and that I'm left handed in most things.

Our food soon arrived and we began to dig in. I knew he was about to ask something dirty when I said I was left handed in most things because as he was about to speak and had the devious look on his face, I just shoved a noodle into his mouth.

“Naughty naughty Mr. Vengeance.” I said laughing. He ate the noodle and pouted a little before going back to his food.

I drank I don't know how many glasses of wine after we were done with our food. Zacky didn't drink much because he was driving. He paid for the dinner and helped me to his car. We got in a drove off.

“Thanks for dinner. It was awesome.” I slurred a little.

He looked over at me and smiled. “Your welcome. Thank you for being my hot and sexy date.” He winked and went back to looking at the road.

“Well your welcome Mr. sexy hot handsome guy.” I giggled and blushed.

We had arrived at the apartment and I looked out the window, looking up. It seemed like the stairs were going to be a challenge for me to walk up and I was pretty drunk.

“Oh man I don't think I'm going to make it.” I said trying not to barf. Zacky nodded as he only drove a little bit more then got out.

When he helped me out of the car and opened the door to a house, I realized it was his house we were at. “I didn't know you live close.”

He smiled. “Yep I sure do.” He helped me over to the couch.

That's when I felt myself about ready to go. I quickly got up and ran up the stairs. “The bathroom is to the left!” I heard Zacky yell up to me. I soon found it and puked into the toilet.

Well there goes my dinner. I continued to empty out the contents of my stomach and laid against the bath tub. I was probably laying on the floor for a while because Zacky then came into the bathroom and handed me some aspirin and a glass of water.

I slowly stared up at him. All he was wearing was his boxers. Man I would love to attack him and ravage his body. I closed my eyes, getting that mental image out of my head before opening them again.

“If you need to brush your teeth, there's an extra toothbrush and toothpaste in the medicine cabinet. There's also some face wash if you need to wash your face. I also laid out some extra clothes for you in the guest bedroom.” He bent down and slowly helped me up before smiling and leaving me alone in the bathroom.

I pulled off my red dress and threw it into the dirty laundry basket behind me. I was now left in my black bra and panties. I washed my face to take off the make up. I then brushed my teeth to get the yucky taste out of my mouth. I dried my face then took the aspirin and water with me to the guest bedroom. It literally said it on the front of the door. Thought that was interesting.

I walked in, popping the aspirin in my mouth and drank the water. I looked down at the clothes that were laid out. It was a pink tank top with matching shorts. I looked away in disgust. I disliked the color pink. Well it was the only thing I have to stick to for now I guess. I sighed and took off my bra. Slipping on the tank top and matching shorts. Once a laid my head onto the pillow, I instantly passed out.
