Amy’s POV
I was talking to Arin, he seemed like a nice guy, pretty sweet actually, he told me that he was called ‘The Kid’ because he was the youngest and got the latest into the band.
“And you and Brian? How did you..hm.. like meet?” Arin asked and I sighed, god this was the most embarrassing story of my life probably forever.

“I don’t even really remember, we were in this bar hanging out, and they walked up to us, we had a drink together, danced and blackout… And next morning we found out we got married” I made a short version out of it and Arin looked a little pitiful, but I tried to not react towards it.

“So and you are the drummer?” I directed the topic elsewhere and Arin nodded, his eyes shining suddenly and he propped himself up on his elbows looking at me with joy.
“Yeah do you know our band? Did the guys show you something?” He asked and I shook my head, but then thought better of it “They did show us, but an acoustic version of two songs in a bar the other night, I loved it.” I said and smiled and Arin nodded thinking, “You definitely gotta come to a show, I mean… you will have to probably anyway, but you gotta see the full show, fire, explosions and all that shit, all stacked up to the maximum, it’s brilliant.” Arin got all excited and I nodded eagerly, I really wanted to see a show now, see Brian on stage, live…

My thoughts got interrupted when shadows fell upon us and Matt’s voice sounded, “Happy to see you guys are getting along”
We all turned to the side seeing, Matt, Brian and Zack now standing beside our sun bed.

“Should we have some late lunch or early dinner together? All of us?” Johnny asked looking around because none other was reacting and I looked over to Sara, she had been acting strange since she came over to us and it had, of course, something to do with Matt, and probably the new arrivals of their friends.

“Yeah, maybe getting to know each other a little better” Zack offered and I saw Brian and Matt sigh heavily, making me frown, what was up with everyone now?!
Arin got off the bed and I inched up behind him, Brian stood close and I saw him step forward, I expected him to hold his hand out to me to help me but in the last moment, he seemed to catch himself and step back, looking away.

I frowned and took Arin’s offered hand who helped me down and slip into my shoes standing beside the sunbed. I looked over to Sara and Matt, and Matt stood beside Sara, not touching, just looking at her, while she gave him a deadly look.
Well, this will be a nice dinner, I can already see that.

“Sara and I quickly need to get out dresses from our rooms” I said and wanted to take the chance to talk to Sara alone quickly, but Matt was crossing over my plan “Sara got her dress in the bag” He stated and handed the bag to Sara, who rolled her eyes, probably thinking the same thing I did. We didn’t really want to change, we just wanted to take a time-out to talk, thanks Matt.

Matt had seen Sara’s eye roll and frowned, looking at me and I shook my head at him and he looked even more confused.
So no chance for me and Sara to quickly talk, shit… Maybe when I sat next to Brian, he would tell me how his talk with his friend Zack went, because from their expressions I couldn’t read anything.

We went to the dinner table and nothing happened as I thought it would, Zack instead of Brian pulled a chair out for me, being all gentleman and helped me sit down, while I waited for Brian to take the empty seat beside me, he surprised me again and walked around the entire table to sit on the far other end.

And as I could see Matt was doing the same, sitting beside Brian leaving Johnny an empty space next to Sara and I shook my head, okay… I could understand they are a little hesitant, but what the hell was going on now? They said these guys are there best friends and now they can’t behave like they did when they weren’t around?

I looked at Brian and when his eyes met mine, they softened a little but nothing else and I breathed deeply in and out, alright… whatever.
The lunch was pretty nice, we could even do some small talk Sara and I told them what we were doing and got some details out on why we were on the trip in Vegas without getting into any details in the end we mostly let out the topic on how it came to the wedding and what else happened at least for now… I think that’s more Matt and Brian’s job to do not with all of us in a big group discussion anyway.

When the waiter took away the plates and we were all done only dessert was missing, I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked beside me “Amy? Do you have a minute to spare?” Zack whispered near my ear and I smiled nodding, like he read my mind. I wanted to find out how his and Brian’s talk went like and apologize for rousing any trouble between them.

He pushed himself away from the table and held his hand out for me to lay mine into. I looked at the table and saw Brian narrow his eyes but when he looked at Zack he smiled “You got a problem with me taking your wife for a quick walk, Haner?” Zack asked and it sounded like there was more to it, but as it seemed just between those two knew and left all the others in the unknown.

Brian waved his hand, like he didn’t care “No problem at all, go have fun” He said and his voice sounded different, but his face was showing no kind of real reaction and I frowned, this wasn’t the man I got to know… and I married apparently, this was weird.

Zack took my hand and led me away, we went outside into a secluded area by the pool bar “You want something to drink?” He asked and I nodded “I could use a drink, yeah” And he chuckled, “Me too.”

“Whiskey coke? Or something more girly?” He asked and I chuckled “Whiskey coke, sounds good to me” He nodded and quickly ordered our drinks.
When the bartender put both drinks in front of us I swirled the liquid with the ice cubes around in my glass not really knowing how to start and Zack wasn’t saying anything either.

“I’m sorry” I said finally and Zack’s eyes met mine, god they were really stunning, that green was-
“For what?” He seemed confused and I gave him a weak smile.
“You came all the way here because of something I caused apparently?!” I said and blushed a little.
“There’s always two to marry.” Zack said and I nodded, that was right.
“Amy, can I tell you something?” He asked and then took a long sip from his glass and I nodded “Sure.”

“You know, Brian… He is my best fucking friend in the world, my partner in crime… and when he disappeared and I found out by accident that he is here, married it freaked me out. I got hurt, and angry… I mean, what would you say if your friend, Sara right?” I nodded and saw how Zack was really struggling with his words “When she got married without you, when all she was telling you, she never gets married…” Zack trailed off and I thought about that, if Sara really would get married without me, I would be extremely hurt, accidentally or not, it would hurt.

I put my hand on Zack’s and squeezed lightly “I know what you mean. And I am really sorry, I don’t know what Brian told you about that… hm.. night, but we don’t remember… we could clue some pieces together by now, but it’s not all back…” He gave me a weak smile and nodded.

Maybe I had to give him more to understand “We met Matt and Brian in a bar that night, danced and drank and had fun… then blackout” I said and Zack nodded “When I woke up to a stranger in my bed… I tried to secretly sneak out, I know everyone says this but I am really not a one night stand person, so I was kinda freaked out and wanted to silently leave before he woke up” Zack got a wide grin on his face “You wanted to sneak out?”

I nodded “As you might guess, Brian woke up before I could and he saw the ring on my finger, thinking I was married, but I pointed out he was wearing a matching one, he thought you guys were pulling a prank on us, that this wasn’t real… and then… well… you can guess, we found pictures, the certificate all that shit… and then it became real” I sighed and this time Zack touched my hand his finger moving over the back of my hand soothingly.

“You didn’t think your first marriage would be like that, huh? I mean every women’s dream is a big white wedding with all that shit.. and then you get-” He trailed off and I haven’t even thought about that, I never was the woman who wanted to marry that big with hundredths of people around, but I did want all my friends there, wanted the dress and the ceremony, wanted the party…

“Amy?” Zack said and his voice was so soft now that I had to blink a couple of times, my first wedding was nice, here in Vegas, it was really… but it would be over soon anyway and I would never have a first wedding again.

I felt a hand whisk away a tear that I wasn’t able to swallow down anymore and then I was pulled into Zack’s arms “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that, this must be all pretty confusing and tough enough for you.. I haven’t thought that someone else got hurt as well… I just thought how my best friend kept secrets from me and left without even telling me, having his special day without me… I’m sorry” He said into my hair and I don’t know why, his hug was soothing and nice, but I wished Brian would be here holding me now, but at least someone was there, even though I just knew him for a couple of hours.

“What will your parents say? Your friends?” Zack asked after I was feeling a little better and he let go.
“Hopefully nothing. Brian and I agreed on ending this quietly right after this trip is done, not much attention to it, we both agreed it was a drunken nights experience and we can’t really blame any of us, we planned to enjoy the days we have, as friends and afterwards go our separate ways”

Zack nodded but looked like he didn’t believe me “So just fun here and nothing else, and in what 4 days you sign the papers and never see each other again?” He asked and I nodded, that was the plan and that made me realize, that Brian was right, we should be acting more adult now. He was keeping his distance for a reason, we knew soon this would be over and as much fun as the past days we had together were, we should be aware that this would be over soon, right?!

“Hey… are you two ready? I mean not that I care, but you have been away for quite a while? And we wanted to plan something that we could do tonight…” Brian stood suddenly beside us and I swallowed thickly, it was one thing to think about taking a distance from him but really going through when he stood so close to me and I knew what he could do to me was something completely different.

“Not really, but if you can’t take it anymore, we can come back” Zack joked a little Brian huffed out a small laugh “Very funny…”

I drank the rest of my drink and hopped down then bar stool. I walked in between Brian and Zack and I was so used to Brian laying his arm around me or pulling me into his body, that it felt weird for him not to do it, but it was right this way, we were slowly ending this and shouldn’t act like the married couple anymore, right?!

I felt a light brush on my back and turned to the side, seeing Brian moving his hand to my back and putting it on the small of my back to guide me, just this little touch was sending goosebumps over my skin and I had to swallow thickly, take your distance! I quickened my pace and placed more distance between us, let’s see how this would be working…
Matt’s POV
Okay, I wasn’t dumb, I knew something was wrong with Sara, I just didn’t know what. Okay, fine maybe I did know what, but not why… or did I?!
What can I say, Zack and Brian caught me off guard when I had been walking in the hotel with Sara by my side, she had been making me so hot, that all I wanted was lift her up in my arms and carry her up to my room and shut us into our room for the rest of the day, but then suddenly Brian stood there, with Zack?!

And why were they here? What were they supposed to do here? Were they checking on us? From where have they even heard from us?!
So many questions popped in my head and I knew if they saw me so close to Sara they would be thinking god knows what…

I didn’t want to make the situation any weirder than it already was, so I quickly put some distance between Sara and I. They didn’t know I was here with some girl, did they?
Shit, did they know about Brian and the marriage? Zack would flip shit, if he knew!

After we had a quick talk as three and Zack made some pretty stupid comments about the girls we moved out to the pool area and caught up with everyone, Sara laid facing Johnny and laughing loudly, and I had to smile immediately, hearing her carefreeness.

But why didn’t she laugh with me that way? And why was I even thinking that, when I just thought about distancing us a little, at least a little when the others were around, when I was back in the hotel room with her, I would put as little distance between us as humanly possible.

When we all sit together for the early dinner I was debating with myself if I could allow myself to sit next to Sara, but when I was still thinking about it, Johnny moved into the free space leaving me no other choice then join Brian on the other side. I knew that if I was sitting with Sara, I would want to touch her and if I started to touch her I couldn’t fucking stop.
So this was better, right?!

I let my eyes wander over Sara all the time, I got so used to just touch her whenever I wanted, to pull her into me so it was kinda weird to be that far away now. I smirked to myself and let my foot wander under the table towards her, when my foot met her leg her eyes snapped up and instead of giving me that beautiful smile, she pushed my foot roughly away and her eyes were shooting daggers at me.

I sat back up straight and frowned, okay… so she wasn’t up for fun now? After dinner then… When our douchebag friends finally left… at least that’s what I hoped.
When the dinner part was over, Zack and Amy excused them and I saw Brian frowning after them, he tried to be cool about it , but everyone who knew him just the slightest saw he didn’t like that at all…

My eyes wandered back to Johnny who was making Sara laugh again and Arin joined in, since when was Johnny so fucking funny? Okay, he was funny… but shouldn’t Sara’s attention be on me still?

We ordered dessert and I planned on striking this time, when everyone ordered I took the dessert I knew Sara would also like and planned on secretly exchanging and offering her mine and since Sara’s place to her left were free now, cause Amy was gone, I could-

That was the plan, but apparently Sara wasn’t in for it, when I tried to tell her about the dessert which I knew she and Amy liked so much she waved me off and told me she had everything she needed.

Which earned me a stupid chuckle from Arin and a lifted eyebrow from Johnny, suddenly Brian was gone as well and hoped that was a sign for all of us too move away, I mean… I could plan something for the evening but I also did want some time with Sara for myself, even though she didn’t really want that time with me anymore as it seemed?!

“How about we all go out tonight? Some fun dancing and stuff?!” Johnny asked just when Brian, Zack and Amy came walking back in.
“Oh I’d like that idea” Sara said and I smirked, good idea, some dancing, they wouldn’t mind if we go dancing. I mean sneaking in some sexy moves between me and Sara was so in for tonight.
“Yeah sure, why not” Amy nodded absently and the others also joined in, so that was settled.

“How about we make a quick break and head to our rooms and then meet again down in the lobby around eight?” I asked looking at my phone, it was already past five so now so I would still have enough time to spend with Sara, didn’t I?

We all went to the elevator and when Sara and I got out on our floor together I saw the knowing looks on our friends faces but, hey… I couldn’t do anything against that, we had been sharing the room, and I wouldn’t give up on that.

Sara opened the room but before I could walk in behind her the door nearly fell shut and I frowned, alright, so that must have been a mistake right?!

“We got some hours for us, isn’t that nice?” I asked and smiled my dimple smile at Sara, who didn’t even give me any attention.
“Hmm.. nice.. I’m gonna lay down for a bit, can you wake me in an hour so I can shower and get ready?” She said and without turning my way she headed for the bathroom.

When she came back out she wore a sleeping shirt and went straight to bed, well that must be a sign then, bed… sleeping… hello that’s my keyword?!

When I lay down beside her I let my hand travel over her exposed arm and when she turned I hoped to see that lustful smile and twinkle in her eye but I got the narrowed eyes and pissed of attitude.

“Sorry, didn’t you get what I said? Sleeping? Should I set an alarm or will you manage to wake me?” She asked, her voice sweet but her face telling me a whole different story.

“Sara, you really want to sleep? Like sleep?” I asked disbelieving?! And she lifted an eyebrow challenging, “Oh so you do remember my name… nice… So tell me what does it look like to you, Matt?” She turned back around blanket covering her up completely and I frowned, what does she mean? I still remember her name, of course I do…

I was stunned and just lay beside her, confused and why did I feel hurt? I mean this was the chance for us to spend some quality time together and she went to sleep? Just like that?!
Was she pissed cause I was a little more distanced then the days before? But she must know that with our friends around this all got more real, right?

That the easy time with us four was over now and that we had to realize this will be ending soon, was she thinking the same? Or had I done something to really hurt her? But I couldn’t recall it, and I couldn’t ask her now, because well.. she probably would throw her alarm clock at me instead of answering.

And why was I constantly wanting to touch her, even though I knew better, we said this is a fun time ending with the divorce of Brian and Amy, but I knew if we kept on acting like we did before Zack and the rest arrived they wouldn’t understand it.

They would be thinking Brian and I were overly in love with these women, when all we wanted is a good time for a previously counted amount of days. That was clear, for me for Sara and for Amy and Brian, but the other would be interpreting a lot more into it then there was.

This was just a special situation, holidays… sure I would think back on these days knowing they had been amazing and knowing Sara was a fantastic woman, and surely I might want to see her again, but that’s not what this was about, it was just fun and game for a few days and then real life was taking us back and everything was ending… easy as that.

When my eyes wandered back to the clock I saw I had been lying here and thinking for a hour already, Sara was sleeping quietly and I decided to leave her for a moment longer and take a shower and get ready, she could be doing her getting ready then afterwards and I had also to think of a good plan to convince her not giving me the cold shoulder all evening, because I knew I wanted more than just her shoulder tonight and I would have my way… I always did, and with her it wouldn’t be any different.

I went out of the shower and put on some dress shirt I found in my luggage and dark jeans, I checked my reflection in the mirror and brushed my short hair and then nodded to myself, she couldn’t say no to this, I knew it.

I just had to be secretive about it, a touch here and there, not to open for our friends but for me and her unmistakable and I would have to take a close look on Zack, that fucker seemed way too interested in both girls, since we said they were nothing more than a fling… which still didn’t mean I would share Sara… She was mine, for the rest of the holidays so he better direct his eyes elsewhere.
