Maya’s POV

I woke to the bed shaking and the mattress shifting “Big guy.. I need a little more sleep, please?”
“Hmmm…” I heard Matt’s deep mumble and frowned, he sounded as asleep as I did. So why was the bed shaking?

“Matt! Damn it.. Matt!” Another voice, but I felt too hung-over and tired to open my eyes.
“What the-” Matt groaned and the bed shifted again.
“JIMMY! GET THE FUCK OUT!” Matt yelled suddenly and I felt someone throw the sheets on top of me.

I slowly opened my eyes and saw Jimmy kneeling at the end of the mattress while Matt crouched over me, holding the blanket up.
“Larry will arrive any second! We gonna have breakfast in our bus. Hurry up!” Jimmy said and slowly my brain registered what was going on here.

“I don’t fucking care who’s arriving! Don’t ever walk in on us! For gods fucking sake she is naked!” Matt sounded pretty pissed off and I heard Jimmy chuckle.
“I didn’t even look, and it’s not like I haven’t seen it before.” Jimmy said and I sighed, not the best thing to say Jimbo.
“I swear to god, I’m gonna kick your ass! GET OUT!” Matt yelled and I let my hand run over Matt’s arm to calm him down.

“We will get up, Jimmy. Don’t worry” I said sleepily and then the door opened and closed again and Jimmy was gone.
“Why does he leave when you tell him?” Matt sounded annoyed and I sat up, pushing myself against his side.

“Because I said what he wanted to hear and you yelled at him.” I smiled up to Matt’s sleepy face and he sighed.
“I swear to god, I will fucking hurt him if he ever walks in like this again, and sees you naked. I won’t have any of that. Damn it!” Matt growled and I placed my arms around his neck, pulling him down to me.

“These are mine, and mine alone” Matt placed his large hands over my breasts and kneaded them, making me moan.
“Am I right, Maya?” He groaned in my ear, while his lips caressed my ear and wandered down my throat.
“Yes… oh Matt..” I moaned out, but I knew we couldn’t keep this up, Jimmy had warned us for a reason.
But Matt didn’t seem to remember or wanted to remember any of this, his lips were now on my breast, sucking on my nipple and if I wouldn’t stop him now, this time Larry would have something to see and rage about.

“Big guy… we gotta stop. As much as I want to repeat what we did last night, we need to get ready, or Larry finds us… and I bet he wouldn’t like seeing you on top of me” I finished and Matt groaned in frustration, placing his head on my chest.

“Babe, I don’t want to hide anymore…” He murmured and my heart started to race, was he still thinking about telling Larry about us?
That wouldn’t work, he would send us home… that’s not an option.
“Matt, don’t even think about it, okay. You saw how Larry gave you another of these speeches. He won’t have any of it. Can we close that topic now?” I pulled away from him and searched for some new clothes to wear and disappeared into the bathroom.

I closed my eyes and sighed, I really liked to wake up next to Matt and it would make so much easier, if we wouldn’t have to hide before anyone. But I knew that Larry would get a stroke if he really knew what happened here… maybe he was suspecting me having something going on here, but he would never expect that Ave would be in a relationship with Gates…
And that it would actually work out!
Hell, even I was surprised that it was working out that good and I didn’t have to kick Gates ass into tomorrow!

I felt arms sneak around my waist and a kiss being placed on my shoulder “What’s going on in that head of yours?” Matt asked and I sighed.
“I just hope Larry doesn’t decide to stay with us all day.” I turned in his arms and Matt nodded “I hope so, too. You know how hard it is for me to stay away from you, even for a couple of hours.”

But sadly the day wasn’t going as we hoped, Larry indeed stayed with us all day. He arrived right after Matt and I moved into the Avenged bus, we sat all around the table having breakfast when he walked in.
We chose our sitting places well, to not make him suspicious at all. At least we tried so I was sitting next to Jimmy and Johnny, while Ave sat between Zack and Matt.

Soon Ave and I went over to the Avenged booth getting our work done, we couldn’t even say our proper goodbye to the guys, cause Larry was still around.
He said the guys had lots of interviews today, and would be occupied until the show, so we wouldn’t see them before the after party today anyway.

When both Ave and I dressed up and got ready to start the party and finally meet our men again we had to realize, that our guys were still missing. “Hey the beauty’s are back” Ben came walking towards us holding out a drink for each of us.

“I don’t know if I will ever take a drink from you guys again.” Ave eyed the drink in Ben’s hand who laughed loudly.
“How have you been yesterday? Was it bad?” He chuckled and Ave rolled her eyes “Pretty bad, thank you.”
“The good thing was she had someone to look out for her and let her quickly come down, right? Or get high again, but on something else…” I winked at Avery and she blushed.
“Can we talk about something else… did you see the guys somewhere?” Avery asked looking around and I tried to make out Jimmy or Matt in the crowd anywhere.

“Yeah, I did see them… they were having Meet and Greets, in the backstage area. You want me to bring you there?” Ben asked laying his arm around me again and signed for James to come over.
I looked at Avery being a little unsure if we should show up there, but I haven’t seen Matt all day, and really wanted to…

“Just a small glimpse?” I asked Ave and she nodded “Yeah, and if we be accompanied from you guys, it’s not as suspicious, don’t you think?”
I nodded “Would you… do that… maybe you could show us something as distraction? And guide us along the way?” I asked Ben who had his eyes a little too low for looking into my face.

“Ben?” I asked and his eyes snapped up “Well, sure.. yeah. Come on, James.”
“Eyes up.” I told Ben who just chuckled “I’m only a man, give me a break. If you didn’t want me to look you wouldn’t be wearing shirts like that.”
“Mate, tell that to Shads face, I wanna see him beat your ass for that one.” James chuckled and Ben smirked even more “That’s between you and me.”

The guys shoved each other around and were making stupid jokes until we arrived in the section where the meet and greet took place.
I looked over to the group while Brian and the others were taking pictures with fans.
And there were a lot of fans, wanting to sign guitars, pictures and posters, shit… This really would take forever.

Matt turned around and he stopped, his eyes meeting mine and he frowned. “So… here is the side of the stage where-” Ben began talking and I just realized that Larry came walking towards us.
“Hey, what are you doing here? What a nice surprise” Larry pulled both Ave and me in for a hug and I nodded.

“We met these guys on the party and they told us they could show us some backstage stuff. Some secrets of the work on stage…” I lied and Ben laid his arm around my shoulder again nodding “That’s okay, right? We didn’t know you were doing here some meetings, we can leave again…” Ben interjected and Larry shook his head smiling.

“As long as you girls have fun…” He leaned down to Avery “I didn’t know you would be interested in stuff like this, sweetie. I could have shown you, but maybe the guys are better in the job anyway. And it’s good you found a distraction, cause this can still take a while, as you can see.” Larry explained motioning over to the guys and I saw Jimmy and Zack moving towards us, while Matt, Brian and Johnny were talking to the fans.

Matt met my eyes again and he looked like he wanted to say what the fuck are you doing with that guy?!
But I couldn’t explain now… I just wanted to see him… and now I knew that this would take even longer and I didn’t feel like party at all.

“Hey, nice to visit us?! What are you doing here?” Zack asked and Larry gave them a quick look.
“The guys showed them around a bit, but I already told them they could take their time cause this will be taking some more time, right?” Larry said and Jimmy nodded.
“Yeah, Larry had the great idea of a spontaneous Meet and Greet! We love those.” Jimmy clapped but I could see he was lying and the way Larry grinned, he knew it, too.

“Okay, so go back to work, we will take good care of these girls, don’t worry.” James said and pulled Avery forward and they indeed gave us the full tour around the stage, telling us funny stories but at the end of that I decided to just head back to the bus and Ave came along, even though Ben and James tried everything to change our minds.

“Do you think your Dad did that on purpose? Busying the guys so we can’t see them?” I asked Ave when we settled into our bed in the back of the roadie bus.
“I bet he did. Or why would he still be around and do this Meet and Greet things? What if he really knows, Maya? He will send us home! We won’t see them again!” Avery was near panic again and I hugged her to me, brushing her hair softly.

“Ssshhh… no calm down. Maybe he is suspecting something, but… like I said it would be about me and Matt, not you. We will manage, he can’t be around the entire time, right?!” I asked and Ave nodded slowly, afterwards I drifted off to sleep.

Brian’s POV

After Larry left and the fans were gone I headed together with the others straight to the party. I didn’t know what this shit earlier was about and where Ben and James had taken our girls.
I thought we were pretty clear that they belonged to us, and the better keep those filthy hands off them.

We ran into Danny who was already high as fuck, how was this guy taking all this?
“Where is your drummer and guitarist! We gotta talk to them!” I grabbed Danny shoulders, but he just puffed out smoke.

“Who? Cameron? He is fucking in the bus, the last time I saw him… and James… don’t know where that fucker went to… just disappeared with his buddy Ben. I swear those to have something going on.” Danny chuckled and I knew I wouldn’t get any more information out of him.

“Wait” Jimmy pulled his phone out smiling “They are in the roadie bus.”
“Why would you know that?” Matt asked and Jimmy chuckled “Maya sent me a text again…”
“What? Why again?” Matt frowned and Jimmy typed into his phone… “Oh , that’s like two hours ago, they are probably sleeping… shit.” Jimmy didn’t even answer Matt’s questions which made him even more aggressive.

I had felt that something had been going on with these two today… but what?!
“James! I am fucking talking to you” Matt took a step towards Jimmy who shrugged.
“Well, she wrote me yesterday too, when Avery was on the trip, that we should hurry and help her. That’s why I was dragging your lazy asses quickly to the party, duh!” Jimmy explained as if that was the most natural solution in the world.

“Wait a second… she wrote you?” Both Matt and I asked gapping.
“Sure, why not?!” Jimmy shrugged.
“She is my girlfriend, isn’t she supposed to write me?” Matt asked and I saw his clenched fists.
“No, she should write me, cause it was about my girlfriend! Damn it!” I said and Jimmy rolled his eyes.

We finally arrived at the bus and Matt and I quickly sneaked inside.
We headed towards the back room and I opened the door quietly and saw how Maya and Ave were both sound asleep cuddled up in the blankets.
“What should we do?” I whispered to Matt and he lifted an eyebrow, “I don’t know what you wanna do but I’ll get in that bed, with or without your girlfriend.”

Matt pushed past me and I frowned, he leaned over Maya, placing a kiss on her lips until she woke up groggily.
“Matt? What… Shit, what time is it?” Maya murmured and Matt just lay down beside her, hugging her to him “Late… but I had to see you”

“Ave” I leaned down and caressed her face, “Wake up, love.” I shook her shoulder gently and finally her blue eyes opened up. They blinked a couple of times until she seemed to be fully awake.
I heard Matt and Maya murmur but I couldn’t make out what it was about.

“Let me help you” I crouched down and grabbed Ave around the waist, then holstered her up into my arms.
I muttered a goodbye to the still talking Maya and Matt and made my way out of the bus.
I needed Ave close and I had missed her the whole day, but as it seemed, she was exhausted as hell and was already sleeping in my arms again.

I got into the back room of our bus and placed Ave softly down on the mattress, I got rid of my pants and shirt and slipped under the covers next to Ave and sighed when I pulled her little body into mine, she sighed loudly and melted into my body.

Damn, this felt so good… and tomorrow I had to find out what had been going on all day.

I woke to the loud banging on our door “LARRY ON THE WAY!”
I quickly sat up and looked around, “Love, we gotta get up.” I looked around the bed and found it empty.
“Damn… Where is-?”

“Hi” Ave came back into the room and a smile was on her face “Thanks for getting me yesterday night. I wished I wasn’t so tired and could enjoy our time more.” Ave sat down in my lap and her arms slung around my neck, pulling me towards her and she granted me a kiss.

She was already dressed and freshly showered and she tasted so good, like peppermint and smoke and that little bit Avery taste that made it perfect for me.

“My Dad will be here soon, we can have breakfast together… Matt and Maya are also here… Afterwards Maya and I need to leave for the AA booth.” Avery got up from my lap and I sighed frustrated, I forgot that she had to work again today… for the other band.

“Ave, what was this about yesterday?” I asked while pulling a shirt over my head.
“What do you mean?” Avery watched me and her eyes were roaming my body and I had to swallow, if she would keep that up, I couldn’t get out of the room any time soon.

“You and Maya hanging on those AA guys?! Are they still trying something on you? Or what?” I asked and felt the jealousy rise in me, they looked so close when they were showing up in the backstage area while we had those stupid Meet and Greets Larry set up.

“Well, no. Actually they were pretty awesome. We didn’t know where you were and we wanted to see you. At least… a small glimpse.” She smiled at me and I nodded, still not too happy about it. “So James and Ben asked if they should take us there, so we could at least see you and it wouldn’t be too obvious that Maya and I would show up there.” Ave said and okay maybe that made sense, but still I didn’t like that they had spend the whole evening with those two.

“Hhmm..” I didn’t say anything else and Ave walked closer to me “What is it, Bri?” She looked deeply into my eyes and then chuckled “You are jealous, right?” She asked and I rolled my eyes.

“I am not, but still you should keep a larger distant to that guys… especially since you are meeting them today again.” I grumbled and Avery laughed even louder.
“Awwnn, that is so cute. Don’t worry, Maya and I will have lots of things to do on the booth and we will miss you guys and won’t have any time to do other things” She winked at me and I narrowed my eyes.
“Are you making fun of me, missy?” I asked and grabbed her around the waist, tickling her sides until she begged me to stop, and I was already imagining other things I wanted to do to her, where she would beg me for more and more…

“Tonight you are mine, Ave! Promise me!” I whispered in her ear and she nodded.
“I promise. Now, we need to get out of here before Dad arrives.” Ave stepped forward and I held her back, placing a last kiss on her lips before letting go.

We took our places around the small table and I had to let Ave go for the rest of the day, but I also had a plan to accomplish today.
Ave’s birthday was coming up and I had to find out what was planned and what chance I had to spend it with her and still had to think about a gift.

“Alright, we have to get to work… We see us later.” Maya and Ave said their goodbyes just when Larry sat down on the table.
“Have fun, girls.” Larry kissed each of them and they left making us have another of those band meeting, as if we didn’t have enough lately.

Larry told us about the time changes for our show tomorrow and we agreed, wasn’t new to us.
We discussed to play another song or two, but then decided to just exchange one and let the rest of the set be the same.

Soon Jimmy, Matt and Johnny were gone and left me alone with Larry and Zack. While Zack was vanishing to the bathroom to get ready, Larry sipped his coffee.
“So Larry, our weekend off is nearing… You got any plans? Going home as well?” I asked casually while checking my phone.

“Yes, actually we do have some plans. Avery’s birthday is in three days and I wished I could spend that time with her. But I have still some meetings planned and can’t postpone them, so I will have to talk to Maya to set something nice up for her. She is my guardian angel in these kind of things. Always there to give Avery a good time, when I can’t be around… I have the day after her birthday off so then I plan to make it up to her.” Larry explained and I nodded.

“That sounds good… so Maya will set something up?” I asked and Larry nodded “Yeah, good that you remind me. I will talk to her later on about this… maybe she will invite some friends from college, Maya knows that better than me anyway. Or just a girls’ evening… We will see… and your plans Brian? Home seeing your Dad? Some quality time with the family? Or something else?” Larry asked and I secretly wrote notes in my calendar.

“Yeah, spending some time with my family, haven’t seen them in a while. Watching my sister play, she is pretty good, singing in a band and stuff, so that’s on schedule.”
“Are you ready, Zack? We got another round of interviews planned today, so let’s go…” Larry announced and I knew he was busying us for a reason… and I didn’t like it, not one bit.
