Amy’s POV

“Oh my god, I love you so much”

As soon as I registered Brian’s voice I turned my head to him and gapped, he didn’t really just say that did he?! My mouth was hanging open wide and I didn’t know what to say, he looked at me from the side, a small smirk on his face and if we wouldn’t be doing a press conference right now, he might have fooled me with that statement, I mean, it sounded so lovingly, that I… I shook my head, stupid me.

“You what?!” I asked barely audible, not sure why I even said it, this was all a show of course we had to act this way.

He suddenly grabbed my face between his hands and kissed me softly “I love you so much, Amy”

I looked at him my mind swirling with questions and uncertainty, why did he have to do that now, why say this now?! Why had he make everything even worse as it was, this conference was going good so far, as least as far as I could tell, and then he had to throw me off with this?!

But instead of answering him, I gave him a little peck back, and turned towards the reporters again, picking up the questions trying to act like this was nothing big, because normally it shouldn’t be anything big, right?!
If we were in love and if this was real, we should have said it before, often, so I shouldn’t be frozen like I wanted to be by hearing those words from him.

“So I think the statement of Brian and the way those two acted with each other accompanied by all the private information you gained right now should give you enough stories to write. I think we can all agree that we see the love from these two and how good they fit together, right?” Larry was on the stage to wrap this conference up and I was glad for that, I was really done with all the questions and lies and the smiling, it had been fun at some point, acting like the sassy Amy, that I couldn’t let out all the time, but after the lie Brian told about loving me, I felt emotional drained.

“And I want to point out again that we didn’t have to do this, Brian and Amy, didn’t have to let you in on their private life, but they did and this should be enough and they don’t want to be bothered any further… Thank you for your attention and now let’s move back to the most important topic from today on, which is music. Thank you” He handed off the mic and ushered us away from the stage before anyone could ask more questions.

As soon as I set a foot into the backstage area I was in a tight hug from Sara, she pulled me so close that she nearly crushed my ribs “OH MY GOD! Amy, you were fantastic, I couldn’t have done it better. You were amazing, they were eating right out of your palm, and what the hell-” I heard commotion behind us and saw how the guys surrounded Brian clapping him on the back, like a job good done and I even heard the word ‘love’ thrown into the mix, were they congratulating him because he upped the show with that, well… apparently everyone had liked that beside me, because for me it was even more confusing and even more devastating than before.

“Amy? Are you okay?” Sara looked deeply into my eyes and I gave her a small nod. I just wanted to get away from here, close myself into my room and not come out before this was done and I could get back to my normal life, but it wouldn’t be this easy would it?!

“Did you hear what Brian said? I mean… what do you think about that?” Sara asked quietly and I closed my eyes briefly “Worked out fine, right?” I said and I heard the venom drip from my voice and I saw a slight frown on Sara’s face.

“What do you mean?” She asked holding her head to the side like she was really curious to what I would say.
“He placed it just right, and it sounded perfect up in the mix, don’t you think? Everyone believed him, so good job, right?” I said and saw Sara shaking her head slightly.
“Amy, have you thought about the idea that maybe he was-” Sara started but was interrupted when Matt and the others were joining us.

“Amy, wow… you did that perfect, and who would have thought this would take a happy ending, right?” Matt hugged me and I smiled at him “Thanks for saving me the “ex question”, I was thrown a little off guard” I said honestly and Matt chuckled “No problem, I know how to deal with exes” He grinned and Sara rolled her eyes.

I saw Brian standing silently beside the others while they were all happy and cheering like something major had been going on I felt so small and exhausted that I couldn’t even listen in on all the talks that were going on.

“See, I told you he was not telling the truth, now finally he did” Zack’s voice roused me from my thoughts when we were walking to the parking lot, I tried to put distance between Brian and me, I felt his eyes on me, but he seemed to accept the space that I needed, for now…

“What are you talking about? It was all a lie… from him, from me… This was a fucking show.” I told him and Zack seemed not so convinced, he looked at me for a while without replying “Amy, you really need to talk to Brian… Because I don’t think much of what you just said was a show and I don’t think what Brian said was a lie” And with that he vanished and left me alone with Brian standing at his car.

“You were amazing, babe” He said while walking around to the driver seat and letting us into the car.
“Thanks” I still heard him tell me those words, when all I knew they were lies, pretty little lies…
A show that had to be kept, I knew he didn’t mean those words, and the way they made me tingle and sending butterflies to my stomach, just thinking that they were meant honest, how much I wished it was true, and this wasn’t just us acting, made me realize how much more it was hurting me, because he didn’t seem affected at all by this.

We drove in silence and when Brian finally began to say something I turned the volume louder. Fine, I knew that wasn’t the most adult move, but I couldn’t hear him say how good everything went, how perfect the show was… I just couldn’t.

When we arrived at his home I checked my phone right away, closing myself into my room, saw the missed call from James and my parents.
Great, just freaking great!

I listened to James message that he left me:

Amy, we were supposed to have a video conference… starting about 30 minutes ago… I don’t see you online, do you have problems with your connection?
Call me back so we can reschedule, we have to start working on the case… Just… call me back.
Oh shit! I forgot about the work! I closed my eyes in frustration, what should I do, tell him the truth or lie to him again?
I sighed and called his number, getting his voicemail now, probably in a meeting.

I left him a message too “Hey James, I’m sorry. I was so busy… I-I, I don’t wanna lie to you, so I’m sorry I forgot about the appointment. Please let us reschedule, I’ll be there the next time, I promise, just call me back or send me a message whenever you have the time.. I will be available, alright? I’m sorry James, really…. Bye” I hung up and sighed a knock on my door sounded but the door was already halfway open when I turned around.

“Hey” Brian stood in the doorway looking as good as ever, even with his disheveled hair, it looked like he had run his hands through it a million times, and still he looked as fucking gorgeous as ever, that ass!

“What do you want?” I asked my voice sounding tired just like the rest of my body.
“We wanted to call your parents, remember? You were afraid they get wind of the conference, so-” Brian looked at the open laptop and my phone in hands “You missed some meeting?” He said, his voice sounding not as smooth as before.

“I had a work appointment, but missed it…” I said and he nodded, a small smirk coming over his face “He will get over it” I rolled my eyes at him sure that was the only reply he had for that.

“So are you up for calling your parents? I know you were anxious to tell him them but I think you will feel better when you did it and when you are sure they hear it from you and no one else” He walked into my room, got my laptop and went back out and I stared after him, what the hell was he planning to do now?

I hurried to catch up with him, when he sat the laptop down before the couch in his living room, he had wine glasses on the table, and some snack and I really wondered what had happened to my husband, I mean.. Brian, what happened to Brian, why was he doing that?! No one was around, and my parents weren’t even on the phone yet?!

Before I could register what he did he was already video calling my parents and he pushed me on the couch before the screen and then sat down beside me, his arm around me, his hair straightened and looking fucking perfect, my parents wouldn’t be too fond of the tattoos all over, which I adored a little too much, as well as the rockstar image, but he was just fucking handsome, that son of a devil.

Before the picture frame appeared I heard my Dad’s voice, “What the hell, where do I look? This tiny thing? And where do I- Hello? Amy? Sweetie?!” My dad was cursing until he finally set the camera and he could see me and Brian and I could see my parents staring at the laptop before them, what should I say?! Was it too late for running away?

Matt’s POV
When we walked outside, both Sara and I had a close look on our friends. And they weren’t looking as happy as I would thought they would be…

I mean the conference was going perfectly, Amy was putting on a hell of a show, and I just had to barge in once to even say something, everything else she handled perfectly, she might have even handled that on her own, but hey I’m protective like that, I wanted to help out and I promised Sara I would take care of her best friend, she confided in me, so I did what I could.

“You were amazing, babe” Sara pecked my lips and I smirked down on her “How amazing?” I asked and she frowned “A solid 7” She answered with a smirk of her own and I lifted my eyebrow at her “A fucking what?” I guided her towards the car, towering over her and pushed her up against the door.

“Don’t you want to rethink that answer?” I growled while plastering small kisses along her neck and throat, god she smelled good, does she taste this good too?!
I bite her throat, and licked the skin right away, “Fuck you do taste good” I groaned and pushed even firmer into her body.

“Babe, stop… The press is all around, we don’t want to cause another conference right away, right?” Sara’s voice sounded husky and not too sure and I grinned, glad I had this effect on her.

“Fine, but I want you naked in my bed right after setting a foot in my house, no excused for work or anything, just you and me.” I growled and heard Sara sharp intake of breath then felt her nod against me and I was satisfied, for now.

I stepped away a small step and smacked Sara’s ass before turning to walk around to the driver’s seat with a chuckle and saw how Sara glowered at me but the smile still on her beautiful lips.
When we moved of the parking lot and drove towards my home I thought back to Brian’s words and the face Amy made, I immediately knew Brian was telling the truth, I never had him heard utter those words with that much adoration in his voice, but Amy must not realize that.

“Did Amy say anything to you?” I asked Sara and she turned to look at me, shrugging “Not really, you mean about the ‘I love you’?” She shot back and I nodded.
“He was being honest, Sara… He has fallen for her… but does she believe him?” I questioned and Sara looked out of the window.
“I don’t think so… I mean… should she? They were at a press conference, telling lies… how should she differ between him being honest and telling other lies for the press” I frowned, I haven’t thought about it that way.

“But did you hear him? See him?” I asked and Sara nodded “I did, but… Amy was so confused before… why did he have to say it there, why didn’t he say it before, so she would know the difference… and not as a show act during this” Damn, why did this woman have to be so amazingly analytic and smart…

“I think I should talk to Brian, I don’t think he realizes why Amy didn’t reply… didn’t believe him” I pulled my phone out but Sara took it away from me.
“Why, What?” I looked at her from the side.
“Not right away, give Amy a little time to calm down… it was a lot of pressure today, we can talk to them tomorrow… and you know I’m not much of a Brian fan, so-”

“I don’t get to hear that often” I chuckled giving her a wink “So-” She continued but having a smile on her lips “-Do you really think he is dead serious? Because if not, there is no way I’m helping him to fool my friend, Sanders, that should be clear?!” She said and I nodded.

“Deal, I will find out the truth and then you will help me to turn them into the real couple… like we are!” I said and Sara rolled her eyes but finally agreed with nodding and saying “Deal”

I parked the car in front of my house and walked around to help Sara out of the car. I was holding hands with her the entire way, opened the door and as soon as she stepped a foot inside, even before the door was really closed, I began to rip clothes from her body.

She looked at me with eyes wide open and I chuckled “Don’t look like a deer caught in the headlight, you heard me earlier, your feet are inside my home, now get fucking naked, or I will rip every last piece off of your body, and I think you liked those shorts and don’t want them shredded, do you?” Sara’s eyes twinkled and I grinned.

She turned around and began to take of the shirt she had been wearing, then pushed down her shorts, moved out of her sneakers and my mouth began to water, seeing her only in her underwear.

“More” I demanded and was struggling to get my key out of the door lock, not able to concentrate on anything but watching her.
Sara unhooked her bra and let is slowly fall from her shoulders and then onto the ground until I finally had the key out and threw it on the nearby table.

I stalked over to her and she had her hands in her panties slowly teasing me on pushing them down.
I let my eyes roam all over her and licked my lips, god she was so beautiful I wanted to memorize every curve, every small detail.

I wanted to taste and lick and bite and touch, it felt like I haven’t touched her in forever, when it wasn’t even that long ago, but talking about all these relationship problem, was exhausting me, when I was all happy and wanted to relinquish in it, afraid it wouldn’t last… Even though I didn’t have any reason, did I?!

When her panties flew away, I finally pounced on her, grabbed her waist and lifted her up. I kissed her hard, plunging my tongue into her mouth, dominating her and enjoying every little flick of her tongue against mine.

I flew up the stairs with her pressed firmly against me, her nipples were getting hard, and I would have to taste them as soon as I had her on my bed as well.
I softly placed her on the sheets, moved from her lips to her collarbone, nibbling softly until she writhed beneath me.

I sucked on her nipple and let my hands run up and down her ribcage while I moved lower and teased her with my tongue until she moaned my name.
I quickly got rid of my shirt and shoved my pants down, heard the complaining moan from Sara that she didn’t want me to leave her, but I wouldn’t, hell fucking no I wouldn’t.

I just had to get those fabrics out of my way, out of the way to possess her completely. Damn, I was lucky to have her, lucky we weren’t as complicated as Brian and Amy, because Sara was mine and I could have her and she could have me whenever we wanted, no confusion just feelings and lust and everything combined.

I moved her hands up over her head, linking my hand with hers, then spread her legs and positioned myself at her entrance, I slowly moved forward, gently and slow, until she pressed her heel into my back, wanting me to go faster, this little wild cat.

I grinned but granted her the wish, pounding in and out of her in a faster rhythm making her moan and groan beneath me, her eyes closed in bliss and I felt her inner walls starting to constrict.

“MATT! OH MATT!” She opened her eyes and I saw them rolling back into her head and increased my movements even more until her walls were milking me so hard I couldn’t hold back anymore and pumped my seed into her, groaning her name until I was completely spend and landed on top of her, both panting heavenly and smiling. I gathered her into my side and sighed, this was what I needed.

Notes

We got a talk with the parents coming up, let's see if Brian can charm his way into Amy's parents hearts. He probably has to bring his A-game.

And what about the happy couple? ;-)
