Avery’s POV

I giggled as Brain tossed me off of him and onto the bed, my back hitting the plush mattress with a light bounce. I felt like I was flying after that last mind-blowing orgasm and I couldn’t see or think straight. He really knew how to make me feel amazing and alive. Hell, I wasn’t even tired and the sun was starting bleed in though the windows. What time was it anyway?

Brian and I had been busy ever since we returned to our room after the club. And let me just say, he made well on his words that our quickie in the club was just the beginning. He had touched and pleased me in so many ways that I didn’t even know how to react. Brian was just simply amazing.

“You, little Ave,” Brain said, pointing his finger at me crawled over top of me. I could see a sparkle in his dark eyes and I couldn’t help but smile. “Are something else.”

“Why’s that?” I giggled before pecking his lips a few times. God it felt good to be in his strong arms. How did I live before this? This feeling I had when I was with Brian was seriously different than anything I had ever experienced.

“Because you, my dear, are a naughty little girl,” he chuckled, placing a line of kisses on my jawline. “And I can’t get enough of you…” His warm breath tickled my ear and bit down on my bottom lip. I could feel my arousal starting all over again.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I slowly pulled away with a teasing smile as I sat up. “What time is it anyway? I see the sun starting to come up.”

Brian simply smiled and shook his head at me, slowly coming towards me. “Doesn’t matter because they’re not looking for me yet. We’ve still got time. Besides, I want to play a game…”

“A game?” I raised my eyebrow at him as he moved up next to me, his fingers running up and down my arm. “What kind of game?” I shivered under his touch and tucked myself into his side, enjoying his delicious scent. “Your last game got us into trouble.” I frowned, recalling the Russian Roulette game on the bus with the guys and Brian making all the guys lick my foot. Ugh, that was so gross.

“Oh, you’ll like this one,” Brian assured me before gently kissing my lips. “You answer ten questions honestly and for each one we have in common, I’ll do a little ‘favor’ for you.”

“What kind of favor?” I rested my head on his shoulder and looked up into Brian’s. He just chuckled and shook his head.

“You’ll have to answer to find out, so do you have any real siblings?” Brian asked and I raised a brow at him. He worked for my dad and knew that I had an older brother, at least I thought he did.

“I have an older brother named Marcus, he’s twenty-six,” I said, meeting Brian’s eyes as he nodded. “He graduated the year before you guys.”

“Maybe that’s why the name sounds familiar, but I bet he wasn’t a looker like you,” Brian said with a smirk, pecking my lips. “And you’ve won your first favor because I have a little brother and sister, Brent and McKenna.”

Brian carefully pulled me up onto his lap before his fingers moved to trace over and around my nipple. I took in a sharp breath and closed my eyes, feeling the heat rise down below. Why did he have this kind of effect on me? He was turning me into a sex addict! “Do you have any pets?” He continued.

“I’ve got a cat,” I practically moaned, placing my head on his shoulder. I felt so good it wasn’t even funny. “Her name is Sasha and she is a big grey tabby.”

“Too bad,” Brian pulled his hand away and I frowned. So if it was something we didn’t have in common, the ‘favor’ stopped? That wasn’t fair! “I’ve got a Maltese, named Pinkly. She is with my dad while we are on tour. She kind of reminds me of Jimmy…the crazy little shit.” I wasn’t sure if he was talking about Pinkly or Jimmy, but I smiled either way.

“Will I get to meet her?” I asked, unable to look away from those dark brown eyes. To my surprise, Brian looked thoughtful for a minute before he nodded. What was he thinking about? Were we not an actual couple like I thought? I mean, Brian hadn’t used the word ‘girlfriend’ but he sure treated me like one, at least that’s what I thought.

I looked down at my hands with a frown but Brian didn’t seem to notice because he was lost in his own thoughts. Maybe he was wondering the same thing?

“How long have you and Maya been friends?” he asked after a few moments, the smile coming back over his features. What was he thinking about?

Scoffing, I shook my head with a smile. “We’ve been best friends since eighth grade. We moved to Huntington Beach and she was the first person to talk to me, and obviously we hit it off,” I couldn’t help but smile as I talked about Maya. She should be my sister. “She helped me survive high school, to be honest…well, until her parents died, then I helped her. After that, she basically lived between our house and her brothers. I honestly don’t know what I would do without her,” I sighed, leaning into Brian.

“And there is another favor, beautiful,” Brian’s fingers walked up my inner thigh until they reached my clit. There he started to trace small circles and I had to bit my lip and dig my nails into his skin to keep my wits about me. “I moved to Huntington Beach and met the Rev in eighth grade. We beat the shit of each other and became best friends in detention.”

“Sounds about right…” I breathed, barely able to keep myself from moaning. Damn him and is magical fingers!

“Did you ever get detention, Miss Jacobson?” He was laughing at me now and I had to swallow thickly to keep my wits. I quickly shook my head and he just laughed again. “I didn’t think so…” his hand stopped and let out a whimper. I had been so close to the edge and now I would have to wait. “So you went to Huntington Beach High School?”

“Yes and so did Maya.” The next think I knew, Brian had me flipped over on my back with his erection running through my dripping folds. This was cruel and unusually torture as far as I was concerned.

“And you’re three years younger, so you would have been a freshman when we were graduating?” I nodded and gasped when he lightly pressed the tip in before pulling it out. Fuck, I wanted him again. What was he doing to me? Brian was like drug that I couldn’t get enough of, but then again did he feel the same way? Did he think of me as his girlfriend?

“Hmm…so did you know who we were back then?” Brian’s eyes were burning down into mine and my heart was racing a mile a minute. I had to think really hard back to freshman year, but Brian was making that extremely difficult with his glorious cock doing magical things to my lady parts.

“In a way I guess…”I breathed, closing my eyes. “You actually asked me out one time but I thought you were kidding so I said no…” I smiled lightly as I recalled that memory and Brian froze, looking down at me with a furred brow.

“That was you?” He gasped. “I bet Zack that I could get a date with anyone in school and he picked you out, and I lost a hundred buck because of you!” he chuckled, his face getting closer and closer to mine. “Would you say no to me now if I asked you out?” He looked like he was about to eat me alive again and I shivered at the thought.

“I don’t know, why don’t you give it a try,” I whispered, slowly sitting up again. My heart was racing a mile a minute in my chest, thinking that this could be the moment where we would be official. Did Brian want me to be his girlfriend?

Suddenly I felt hands in my hair, pulling me toward Brian’s lips without a word. He kissed me hard and urgently as he wrapped one strong arm around me and pressed his weight into me. I got lost in the kiss, letting our tongues dance with hungry passion. I moaned against his lips, feeling the spark between us ignite.

“Come on, Gates, get your ass out of bed. We have to leave in half an hour for the signing,” Zacky called as he rapped on the door. “This ignoring our texts thing this morning is really getting old.”

“Fuck, I’ll be out in a few minutes,” Brian yelled, pulling his lips away from mine with an apologetic smile. “God damn it!”

“You’ve got fifteen minutes,” Zack called and Brian pulled away from me and headed towards the bathroom, cursing all the way.

I sighed and climbed out of bed, my legs shaking from our sleepless night of fun. It had honestly been a great night, but I didn’t really like not knowing where I stood with Brain. Was I just his knew play thing or was I actually his girlfriend? Sure we had talked about seeing where things were going with us and they seemed to be going into relationship land. Or was I being delusional?

As Brian took a shower, I pulled my long hair up into an elegant bun on top of my head with a braid wrapped around it. I also left out my bangs and swept them to the side, giving me a polished looked. I accompanied it with a pair of short denim shorts, a belt, and a cut off fringed white lace top. It showed off my flat and toned stomach. I also added some natural make up with red lipstick and a pair of cute wedge sandals.

“Bri,” I said, knocking on the bathroom door before pushing it open slightly. “I’m going to go downstairs and meet up with Maya. I’ll see you down there.”

“Wait.” Brian’s arm reached out the door and pulled me into his embrace. “Fuck, you can’t wear this, Ave,” he groaned, his eyes looking me up and down.

I frowned as I looked up at him. He was wearing a pair of loosing fitting jeans, no shirt, and was working on styling his hair. He looked absolutely mouthwatering. “Why not? Does it look bad?”

“No, not bad at all…the opposite actually. Everyone is going to be looking at you…”

I snorted and shook my head, pulling away. “I highly doubt that. The fans are there to see you, not me. See you down stairs, handsome.” He frowned at me as I moved away, watching me closely.

Brian grabbed my hand and brought me back against his hard chest, looking into my eyes intently. “You still owe me three more questions, love.” he chuckled before kissing me and spanking my ass. “See you soon.”

An hour later, Maya and I were standing to the side of a small platform, watching the guys answering questions and signing autographs. The line was literally out the door and around the block and girls were practically throwing themselves on the table. None of the guys stopped them either, hell they actually looked like they were enjoying it. But why wouldn’t they? They were famous and didn’t have anyone to answer to, well, except for Matt. I still didn’t know where I stood with Brian, and he didn’t seem to mind flirting with every attractive fan.

I sighed and took a seat on the small chair, putting my head in my hands. Watching Brian flirt with other girls wasn’t making me feel very good. Had I made the wrong choice in choosing him over Jason? And speaking of Jason, he had been avoiding me and that made me feel guilty. I hoped I didn’t hurt him because that wasn’t my intent at all. He was still a great friend.

“Look at them, living it up and enjoying all the attention,” Maya snapped, watching Matt sign some chick’s tits as she took a seat next to me. She looked pissed as her toe twitched to the music blaring in the room.

I sighed again and scooted my chair closer to Mayas. “They’re famous, it’s there job to make fans fall for them,” I said, though I didn’t believe my own words. I was jealous, and I knew it. I didn’t like the idea of sharing Brian with anyone else.

“Make fans fall for them fine, but flirting and touching like Gates is doing right now, that’s just sick,” Maya grumbled.

My eyes shot over to the table to see Brain gently stroking some girl’s arm before she unbuttoned her shirt and signed her huge rack. I bit down on my lip and looked away, not wanting to see anymore of that. I guess that explained everything right there. “Let’s go to the back room, I can’t watch this anymore,” I sighed, standing up with crossed arms. I felt a little crushed.

“Ave, what’s going on?” Maya asked, grabbing my arm and sitting me back down. “I know it’s more than…well this,” she motioned to the signing table and I just shrugged. “Did Brian do something to upset you?”

I dropped my head in my hands and shook my head. “No…well, not really. We’ve been having a lot of fun together and I really like him…but—“

“But you don’t know where you stand?” Maya finished for me. How did she always know what I was going to say? It was like she could read my mind. I guess that’s what best friends were for, right? “Why don’t you just talk to him?”

“Yeah, because you can just go up to a rock star that can have any girl he points at and say, ‘hey, what is this between us? Am I your girlfriend or what?’ That would go over really well, M.” I snapped. “Fuck, I’m sorry, M. I just hope I didn’t make the wrong decision. I don’t want to get hurt…yet again.”

Maya moved over and wrapped her arms around me. “It’s okay, I understand, Little Gnome. I’ll talk to Matt and see what I can figure out…if he ever stops stair at the blonde's tits….”

I chuckled lightly and pulled back, looking her up and down. “Are you jealous, M?”

“Me? Jealous? That’s…fuck I am. I just don’t understand how he can…oh fuck no!” I turned around to see Matt stand up to hug a fan and she just jumped up and kissed his lips. I gapped as Maya stormed off towards the back room. It was then that I saw Brian kiss some girls cheek that was sitting on his lap.

I scoffed and shook my head before turning around and following after Maya. That is until I crashed into a large mass in front of me. “Whoa, where’s the fire, Ave?” Jason asked, struggling to hold onto the handful of beers and a magazine. I took a beer and the magazine from him and gave him a questioning look, seeing the guys on the cover.

“I just need a break from watching Synyster Gates moving on,” I sighed, flipping the magazine open. It was then that my eyes widened when I saw a picture that no one should have. “What the hell is this?” I gapped, turning the picture around so Jason could see it.

“Shit!” Jason set the beers down and took the magazine out of my hands. “Avenged Sevenfold arrived in New York City last night and visited some of the cities most notorious clubs, including Pacha NYC and Marquee. However it appeared that these bad boys of metal world were living it up with some down home American sweethearts. Sources say that they watched Gates (Synyster Gates – Lead Guitar) and Shadows (M. Shadows – Vocalist) sneak off at different points in the evening with these unknown ladies. Though, it has been said that the band has been seen with these women on the road before. Who are these mystery women? Are the rumored Avenged Sevenfold Playboys settling down?” Jason read and I felt like I was going to be sick.

“What if my dad sees this?” I shuttered. “How the hell did the paparazzi get into the clubs last night? He’s going to know if he see’s this picture. Fuck!”

“Calm down, Ave. The pictures are not bad. Look, you can only see the side of your face here when you’re on Gates’ lap and you cant see your face when you’re dancing.” Jason argued, pointing to two of the four pictures on the page.

“Yeah, but you can clearly see Maya with Matt!” Oh, shit we were done for!

“But Matt only has his arm around her shoulder and they are laughing. Larry has seen that before, it doesn’t mean anything. Just relax, Ave. He wont suspect anything,” Jason assured me as I grabbed one of the beers and started to down it. I hated beer but I needed something right now. “Just go sit with Maya and I’ll be back in a minute to help sort this out, okay?” Jason pulled me into a comforting hug before pulling away and heading to take the beers to the guys. This was so fucked up.

Matt’s POV

“That interview was insane,” Gates whispered to me as I sighed an autograph. “We haven’t had that many rapid fire questions in a long time. I feel like I have fucking whiplash.”

I chuckled and shook my head. “Was it the questions, or the fact that you didn’t sleep last night?” I teased, but from the circles under his eyes, I could tell I had hit the nail on the head.

“What the fuck are you talking about?” Gates asked but had a permanent smirk on his lips all day. I watched as he looked over his shoulder at the little brunette behind to our left.

“You know exactly what I’m talking about. You and Ave…it’s obvious. You’ve been smiling like a dick all morning,” Zack interjected, leaning down the table. “She must have been good.”

Gates threw his head back and laughed. “You have no fucking idea, but what’s up with them?” He nodded his head toward Maya and Avery just before a fan started talking to him. “Do they look pissed or is it just me?”

I turned in my chair after I signed the next photograph. My eyes moved directly to the tall dark haired beauty, but she didn’t look like she did when I left her over there. She had her arms crossed in front of her chest and she was muttering angrily to Avery. Were they fighting?

“Oh my god! I’m actually meeting you!” A fan cried and I had to turn my attention back to my job. The woman asked me for a photograph and as soon as I put my arm around her, she jumped up and kissed my lips and then screamed. “Oh my god!”

“Nice to meet you,” I said as she ran away, exchanging a look with Jimmy and Zack.

“Looks like you’ve got the crazy obsessed fans today,” Jimmy sang, sprawling out in his chair with his head behind his head. “Though Gates isn’t too far behind.” He motioned his head down the table, watching a girl sit on Gates lap as they took selfies together. “Some ones gonna be in trouble…” he muttered and I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Nah, the girls understand that we have a job to do and have to act up of stage personas,” I said, with a shrug. Maya understood, I was sure of it. She was so understanding with all this stuff that she couldn’t actually be upset with me for playing M. Shadows.

“Whatever you say, man,” Zack said, shaking his head at me. “Girls are fickle creatures. They don’t like feeling like they’re not important.” Was Zack right? Was Maya upset with me? I turned back around and she was gone but I did see Ave hugging Jason.

“What the fuck is going on?” I turned around to see Brian glaring at Jason with clenched fists. Just then Jason let Avery go and she walked the other way, whipping her eyes. “This guy thinks he can steal my girl when I turn my back? I don’t fucking think so.”

“Gates,” I started, standing up and following him over towards Jason. “Don’t start this shit here.”

“What the fuck are you doing?” He hissed, pushing Jason back behind the curtain away from the fans. Jimmy and I quickly followed, hoping to stop a fright from breaking out at the signing. Camera and paparazzi were everywhere and that was the last thing we needed, especially when we played TRL this afternoon.

“We’ve got a problem,” Jason replied, looking confused by Brian’s actions.

“Yeah we do,” Brian shot back, narrowing his eyes. “You’ve still got the hots for Avery and—“

“What?” Jason shook his head and pushed something into Gates’ chest. “I am respecting her wishes, which last I knew was you. So don’t start shit with me, Haner. What you should be worrying about is your pictures in this fucking magazine.

“What are you talking about?” I asked. He must be joking. We hadn’t had any press recently, so why would it start now. “What could they possibly have?”

“Oh, they’ve got a lot. The paparazzi visited the club we were at last night and have pictures of you guys with the girls.”
