Brian’s POV

I was still standing in the middle of the corridor, my eyes were fixed on Avery and the guys she was lying on.
Her eyes had shortly connected with mine and since then I couldn’t look away, I didn’t know what this was all about, but I felt betrayed from my friends.

Why were they here? And why didn’t they tell us about all this?
But I knew it already, they didn’t want me here, didn’t want me to see how close they were with Avery, that they were succeeding in making her theirs or his…?

Even though Zacky had told me that he wasn’t interested in Avery that way, this looked different…
And the way he danced with her earlier also looked different.

“You made up your mind? Stay or go?” Zack asked finally and lifted his eyebrow at me, I planned on staying anyway, wouldn’t give them the satisfaction of me leaving again, that was for sure.
“Stay, make some space.” I nodded towards them and planned on planting my ass right next to Avery.
“There is more room, why don’t you sit next to Jimmy?” Avery said quietly and I turned towards her, was she for real?

She didn’t want me next to her?
Fine, I left her right after we slept together and that wasn’t one of the smoothest moves, but I never stayed overnight…

I mean, if I did that with any of these girls, they would think I wanted more from them, and that was not the case… I wanted fun, they wanted fun… and even though we were both clear about that, in the end they kept hanging on me, and I was a free man, I didn’t want a girl clinging on me the entire time…

I looked at Jimmy who was snoring softly, his eyes closed… how could he have fallen asleep in the middle of all this?
“What happened to him?” I pointed in Jimmy’s direction, to not let anyone see how Avery’s small remark had affected me.
“Took some pill, was hyper… more than usual and fell asleep with Maya on his arms.” Jason shrugged and I noticed how his hands were stroking Avery’s back softly, his hand was underneath her top and I bit my teeth together… hard.

I moved next to Jimmy and shoved him to his side, so he would quit the snoring, after spending so much time together, you had to know these little tricks.

“Daddy not here tonight, huh?” I looked at Avery and she opened her mouth to reply but Zack cut her off “Quit the bullshit, Gates… We are just having fun, if you wanna be an ass, be it somewhere else, okay?”
“No, it’s fine…” Avery said meeting my eyes “Do you see him somewhere? I don’t. Oh look, dancing.” Avery pointed to the TV laughing as if she didn’t really give damn about me.

“Shit, this girly stuff if really bad… I will have a freaking hangover tomorrow, that’s for sure.” Jason groaned, taking his glass and drank a big gulp, like Ave and Zacky.
What were they doing… is that rum nearly empty? And OJ? That looked freaking disgusting.

“Cardigan!” Ave yelled and Zack groaned “How many times did you watch this movie, you yell before it even appears on screen.”
Avery chuckled “Don’t be a baby, fill up.” She held her glass out to him and Zack poured more of the disgusting contents inside and I felt like I didn’t even exist, they were just playing along their stupid game, laughing and I sat here, next to the sleeping Jimmy.

“This is fucked up.” I got up and saw them staring at me “You can join the game… but we gotta switch to tequila or something soon.” Zack asked and I shook my head.
“No, go ahead, get wasted… I’m gonna sleep now.” I said and waved goodbye.

“Brian, wait.” Avery sounded behind me and I smiled, I knew it. I turned back around “Can you take Jimmy with you, I bet it’s more comfortable in his bed then here.”

My mouth hung open and I saw Zack try to hide his giggle, oh he would pay for this the fucker.
“He is your drunk, you get to deal with him.” I said before turning around, best friends, that’s what they are called, if they are best friends I don’t need any foes.

I jumped down the stairs and wanted to punch something or fuck I don’t know… I was confused and why the hell was she confusing me so bad.
I had her, I had amazing sex with her, not once, but two times… and she challenged me but that was done, so why was I still acting this weird, and why didn’t I want her to spend time with Zack and Jason?

Why didn’t I like seeing her smile and laugh now, because before I loved to hear that sound… but that was when I was making her laugh, when I caused her smile… and now… I was just getting these frowns or she wouldn’t even acknowledge my presence…

I breathed deeply in and out, pulling my Marlboro’s out and putting a cigarette to my lips, lightning up and inhaling deeply.
Damn, that felt good… I stood in the dark and thought about what to do… or not to do… when the door to the bus opened and I heard someone giggling.

“I can smoke on my own, don’t worry. I’m still capable of walking all by myself..” Avery’s voice slurred and I could see she was pretty drunk already, her movements were slower and she had this permanent smile on her face now, she was a happy drunk… that were the best.

She closed the door inhaling deeply before also putting a cigarette in her mouth and patting her pants, which were without pockets, so she wouldn’t find the lighter she was searching for, she groaned in frustration but before she could turn around and move back inside the bus, I stepped out of my hiding place, which wasn’t really one but walked towards her in the light.

“Need this?” I asked and she spun around, nearly dropping the cigarette to the dirt. “Shit, where did you come from?” She held her hand to her heart and that made my eyes drop down to her breasts, these perfectly fine breasts, fitting in my hands like they were made for them.

I held my hand up showing her my cigarette and she nodded “Can you?” She motioned to the cigarette and I nodded, slowly moving forward, I lit up and she inhaled deeply just like I did a minute ago.
“Ahh, so good.” She moaned and I swallowed thickly, was she here to drive me even more insane now?

“So… you planned this little private party all along? Just Jimmy, Jason, Zack, you and Maya?” I asked and saw Avery roll her eyes on me, making me feel even dumber than before.

“Not all along. I planned on watching a movie, if you must know… and the others wanted to join me, so… why not?” She shrugged and I thought about that, right… why not? Think, Gates… think?!
“And you didn’t think Matt and I wanted to join too? Because Matt seemed not really thrilled not to be part of it… Or are you trying to avoid us? Or maybe just me?” I asked taking a step towards her.

She looked a little shocked when I came closer but soon she put a smile on her face again “Why would I avoid you? And what Matt is thinking I don’t know… that’s a thing between Maya and Matt… maybe she thought he wasn’t into girly movies..” Avery pointed out and I got that she tried to get around my question, but I wouldn’t let her.

I threw my cigarette away and looked at her, the moon was shining on her face and she looked beautiful.
I couldn’t help myself and took another step towards her and began to back her against the bus.
This was the first time since that night that we were alone, that she was talking to me and not avoiding me, as she clearly had.

I smirked at her and she also threw her stump away looking up to me finally, “I will go back inside…” She wanted to move away from me but I quickly put my arm against the bus so she had to duck beneath it if she wanted to go.
And I knew she wouldn’t, she would stay…

I licked my lips and was about to move forward, what if I granted myself just another small taste, maybe that was enough, but before I could decide she moved underneath my arm away from me letting me stare at the empty spot where she just had been.

“Goodnight Brian.” With that she opened the bus door and left me standing there when I heard Jason’s voice next “What took you so long? You owe us three more drinks! Three! Now, come back to my lap.” Then the door closed and I was shut out.

Maya’s POV

I knew I had a lot of drinks, but not nearly enough that I could process what Matt was telling me right now!
“Maya?” He asked looking me in the eye and stroked his hand over mine. I opened my mouth to reply or at least say something, even though I didn’t really know what…

I felt a little bad that I didn’t tell him we would be going back to the bus, but I promised Avery I would come watch that movie with her, so I didn’t wanna give her the feeling I would back out just to be with Matt and then we were already on our way and I… I got distracted…

I wanted to repeat what we did, I wanted to keep on seeing Matt… how about I start with that, before he would think my silence meant I didn’t like what happened between us.

“I did have a good time… of course I did. And I want to repeat that…” I started and Matt got up from his kneeling position before me and took a seat next to me on the bed.
“That’s good, so we agree on this?” He asked and I frowned a little.

“What do you mean, with continue this and the only one… what do you think we did here on the bus?” I asked him, was he thinking as soon as he had been out of sight I threw myself at the next one?

“I don’t know what you did here… I just know that you came to the party with Jimmy by your side.. and what if I wanted to be the one to pick you up? And don’t think I didn’t see him touching your ass during the dancing…” Matt sounded angry and I had to smile a little.

“Jealous much, are we?” I patted his cheek but Matt pulled away from my touch. “I just want a clear situation.” He continued as if I haven’t said anything.
“If you were afraid that something happened between me and someone else here, it didn’t… and I didn’t plan on it.. is that okay?” I asked softly and Matt seemed not really convinced.

“I had way too much fun with you, then to think about anyone else…” I continued and Matt eyes locked with mine.
“Then why did you just disappear on me?” I let myself fall down on the bed and Matt looked at me from his sitting position.

I sighed “I told Avery I would be coming along with her, we just apologized and talked again, I didn’t want her to think I would back out of it because of a guy.” I admitted and Matt nodded but looked away.

“You still didn’t really give me an answer Maya.” He got up from the bed and looked down on from his standing position. I smiled, he was such a hot guy, how could I say no… but I knew in the end when he had enough he would leave me…

“I like Jimmy” I said finally and Matt eyes snapped up to mine he closed his eyes on a heavy sigh and took a step back, but I quickly got up “Wait.”

I guided him back to the bed and made him sit down, when he sat there I moved onto his lap and Matt groaned a little when I straddled his waist and he put his hands on my hips.
“Maya.. please” I smiled “I love when you beg.”But he just rolled his eyes.

“I like Jimmy, as a good friend… I love to spend time with him… but I didn’t plan on spending more intimate time with him, if you know what I mean. He is easy to be around, and he can see right through me. And I want to keep spending time with him…” I said and saw Matt frown at me, he let his head rest against mine and softly stroked my sides, his huge hands running up and down, making me shiver.

“Jimmy and I already had this talk, I don’t know if you talked to him about it… we agreed on being friends… me being his side kick, his friend… He kind of knew I had an eye on you…” I admitted and that was the first time I saw Matt smile now.

I bit my lip, how do I say this now “I want to spend time with you… I want to continue what we did earlier… I didn’t have enough of you… and if I tell you that I will only have sex with you, as long as we plan to do this, you will be only sleeping with me. No groupies or other women…” I said carefully, I wouldn’t share if he didn’t plan to share. Matt seemed a little irritated at my words and I lifted my eyebrow, so he wanted others, too?
Well, he should better think twice then, or this deal would be broken before it even started…

“MAYA? You coming out? Or is it safe to come in?” Ave’s voice sounded and I smiled.
“You can come in.” The door opened and Ave looked around then her eyes landed on me and Matt “At least you two are dressed.” She chuckled and damn, she was drunk…

“We are.” I confirmed, but not moving away from Matt’s lap, who also kept a firm grip on my hips, I liked that, that reminded me of what we did in the hotel, I licked my lips and Avery stared at us.
“What?” I asked because she didn’t say anything.
“We need to leave in about 30 minutes, we were just planning on who takes which bus? You got any favors?” She asked and I turned back to Matt.

“Don’t care, but we drive together.” Matt announced and I nodded. “Agreed.”
“Okay, then I’ll talk to the others again.” With that Avery vanished from the door closing it again and I sighed, letting me fall against Matt’s chest and he dropped back against the bed, having me on top of him.

“Problem could be, if Larry is planning on coming by during the drive…” I mused but Matt shook his head “He won’t… we will just meet him when we arrive… maybe have a meeting there… we can still say I had to discuss something with Jason or Matt on this bus, don’t worry.” Matt yawned and I cuddled more into his side.
“Hmm..” Sounds like a plan, nodded and felt that my eyes were just too heavy, I would just close them for a second.

“Maya? Ssshhh… Maya” I opened my eyes slowly and saw Ave’s face in front of me. “What is it?”
I looked around and saw Matt still lying beside me, his arm loosely around my waist.
“You have been sleeping for a few hours, we are already on the road… do you want to come out, we are having a short break in a bit.”I frowned, few hours? I opened my eyes some more and saw it was already bright and the sun was shining.
“We wanted to leave around 3, how late is it?” I asked and felt Matt turn dragging me with him and I chuckled.
“It’s nearly 9 in the morning.” Avery whispered and I nodded, “We will come out in a second.”

She went back out and I lightly kissed Matt’s lips, “Wake up… we are about to have a break…” I shook his shoulder lightly and Matt opened his eyes “Hey… nice change..” He said his voice sounded rough from sleep and hell that sounded sexy.

“What change?” I asked not knowing what he was talking about “That you didn’t disappear on me and that I can wake up next to you.” I grinned, he didn’t forget that, did he?

“Ave, was here.. we are about to have a small breakfast break.” I said and Matt stretched his arms over his head and I just realized, that we had slept in Ave and my bed, where had she been?

“Hmmhmm..” Matt hummed and I slowly sat up and stretched my arms over my head, when two hands sneaked around me, pulling me into a very hard body and something poked me in my butt.
“My my.. is there someone happy to see me?” I asked and Matt chuckled “You could bet…”

“We are here!” Jason’s voice sounded and the bus stopped, interrupting Matt’s and my little moment.
“Damn their timing…” Matt groaned and I turned around in his arms, putting another kiss to his lips “We will get another chance…”

With that I got up, shoved my pajamas pants down hearing another groan from the bed “Don’t do that… how am I supposed to leave this room, if you get undressed in front of me.”

“I just want to change into normal clothes, and not walk around in these outside.” I stepped into a pair of shorts, and out on a new top, afterwards I pulled my hair into a ponytail looking over my shoulder at Matt.
“You ready, big guy?” I held my hand out and he nodded “Let’s go.”

Zacky’s POV

I didn’t really know if that was a good choice to leave Avery and Jason, together with Matt and Maya in the roadie bus.
But I didn’t have much of a choice, but the angry look Gates was giving me since we started to drive only meant that the decision was damn right.

“We are about to stop now, the others already arrived.” Jimmy announced jumping up and down near our driver and I chuckled.
Since he fell asleep early yesterday he was now more than ready to take over the world, and his life goal was to fuck all of us up with his happy and giddiness.

“Calm down, Jimbo” I tried to soothe him but he just waited for the door to open and run right out of it.
“Ohhh I’m hungry… where do I get something to eat?! I need.. look the others! AVE! MAYA!” He ran towards the other bus jumping into the girls who were stumbling back with his weight flying their way, but the girls were caught by Matt and Jason who stepped out of the bus behind them.

“Jimmy, what did you take now?” Jason chuckled grabbing his friend in a hug and Jimmy laughed loudly “Nothing, you shouldn’t have let me sleep so long, you know if I sleep long I have too much energy. And I didn’t have much to do on the bus now… Maya was not there, you were not there…” Jimmy said and I looked over to Brian, he stared at the other group.

“Come on, Haner… Let’s get something to eat.” I pointed towards the shop and he nodded, following behind me.

“How about we mix up again? We could do some funny things together? I mean it’s still some time to arrive, right? We should use that time.” Jimmy looked around when we were walking all together in a group.

“I don’t know…” Matt started but was interrupted by Brian “Sounds good, it was boring there with Zack and out of control Jimmy the entire ride, why should you keep all the fun to yourself?” He asked eyebrow lifted at Jason and Matt.

“I slept most of the time, so it wasn’t really thrilling there either” Matt said earning an elbow from Maya “Thanks” She moved away from him and he rolled his eyes “You know how I meant that… damn…”
Maya took Ave’s hand and got her away from Jason who stared after the two.

“How about the girls getting on our bus again, and you get Johnny, your brother and Zack.. if he wants to?” Brian asked Jason and I frowned, what was that about now?! Did he want to make another move on Avery and didn’t want us to be around?

“I don’t think that-” I started but got an angry stare from Brian so I shut my mouth, maybe I should just see where this was going.
“Maybe we let them decide where and with whom they wanna ride with?” Jason said looking pointedly at Maya and Avery who laughed at something in the store.

“Good idea… so I’m where the fun is anyway, they can’t resist me, who can?” With that Jimmy took off in a run behind Maya and Avery, falling to his knees, his hands together in prayer and I rolled my eyes, this guy was really something else… and kept on surprising me, again and again…
Now, let’s see how this ride would continue…
