Uneasy feelings

Matt’s POV

“This is fucking bullshit,” I grumbled to myself as I leaned back against the bar, glaring at Maya and Trevor over my rim of my glass.

I just didn’t understand how Maya could waste our last night together laughing and drinking with her so called ‘brother’. Did she forget how he fucking hurt her all those years ago? I mean, how could she welcome him back after he left her on the streets whens he was sixteen, causing her countless nightmares and trust issues? It didn’t make any fucking sense, especially since she didn’t even question his intentions or sudden appearance.

There was just something that wasn’t quite right about that guy. I felt it from the moment he introduced himself. Just the smug look on his face and the way he watched everyone rubbed me the wrong way. Not to mention I didn’t buy the whole ‘therapy’ story was selling. In my opinion, if he were really serious about making amends with Maya, he would have done it years ago. The last I knew, he left her on the streets when she was sixteen so coming back from a ten year stint in therapy screamed ‘bullshit’ loud and clear. So why was he really back? Was it some coincidence or did the bastard have an ulterior motive? I didn’t know but about to sit idly by and let this guy destroy my evening.

Don’t get me wrong, maybe the guy really had gone through therapy and I was reading too much into this whole thing, but something just didn’t feel right about him being here. I didn’t know him or his story, mainly because Maya always shied away from talking about her past, but from what little I had gleamed over the years, he didn’t seem like someone who could be trusted. I was just glad that Gates agreed with my suspicions.

Speaking of Gates, where had he run off to with the little blonde gnome? I needed to talk with her and see if she could fill in some of the blanks in the Trevor story. Ave was my only hope in getting information about him since Maya always avoided the topic of her family. Though from what I gleamed over the years, Trevor wasn’t someone we wanted to stick around. But until I had the full story, I didn’t feel comfortable leaving the girls alone with him. Even now, the bastard was making me feel uneasy as I watched him across the room, his eyes everywhere but on Maya.

What I wouldn’t fucking do to go steal her away from him right now! He was wasting our time with this little act! This was our last night together and Trevor’s appearance had ruined everything. We should have been drinking, dancing, and laughing together with our friends, not sitting on opposite ends of the bar ignoring each other! Damn this sucked! I quickly took a long sip of my drink, enjoying the burn of the alcohol down my throat.

“Enough of this shit,” I said, standing up to my full height. I needed to find Gates and Ave to get the full story before my whole evening was wasted. “Now where did they go?”

I narrowed my eyes and surveyed the bar, carefully sipping from my glass and looking for the mop of blonde hair and the black beanie Haner was wearing tonight. Come on, they had to be here somewhere. Ave wouldn’t just back out and leave Maya alone with Trevor, would she? I really needed to know who the love of my life was spilling her soul to right now. Oh, don’t fucking tell me those two snuck out and left me to deal with this Trevor bullshit all by myself!

“Yo Shads, what are you doing here all by yourself?” Zack slurred, interrupting my search as he appeared at my side with two shots of what I assumed to be Jack Daniels. “Shouldn’t you be dancing with Maya?”

“If you haven’t noticed she a little bit pre-occupied,” I muttered, finishing the rest of my drink and setting the glass down on the counter. Zack chuckled and threw back one of the shots before he followed my gaze across the room.

“What? You can’t be upset with her for wanting to catch up with her family. The guy seems—”

“A little off?” I interrupted, shaking my head and trying to not to sound too bitter.

“Yeah,” Zack nodded in agreement. “But family is family, man. You can’t deny that.”

“Don’t even get me started on that. You don’t even know the half of it, Zee,” I sighed, running my hands over my face. “Have you seen Gates and Ave? I need to talk with them.”

Zack smirked and leaned back against the bar. “Yeah, good luck with that. The jealous bastard just stole her away from me while we were dancing. He said something about needing a smoke and wanting not waste any more time before we leave. If you ask me, Haner really needs to learn to share, especially since the girls aren’t coming with us,” He chuckled as I grabbed his second shot, threw it back, and headed outside to the smoking patio.

“What the fuck, Shads? Where are you going?” Zack called after me but I was already halfway through the crowd. I was a man on a mission and I didn’t have time to get Vengeance up to speed.

As soon as I walked out onto the patio I spotted Gates and Ave sitting on the bench over in the far corner. Avery was leaned back on Gates’ lap, her eyes closed with a barely lit cigarette dangling from her fingers as Gates kissed up and down her neck, whispering in her ear every once and a while. Just watching them for the doorway made me feel like I was invading some private moment, but I didn’t have time to wait for them to come back to reality or sneak out the back door.

I loudly cleared my throat and walked onto the patio, earning a groan of frustration from Gates. Oh, don’t even start Haner, at least you were spending time with your girl tonight. Mine was chatting her life away with her mysterious brother who I was curious to know more about. “Hey, what the hell are you guys doing out here?” I asked, crossing the patio.

Avery instantly sat up straight and pulled her cigarette to her lips, blushing madly while Gates grumbled something under his breath that sounded like “every fucking time.” What? Did I interrupt something more than I thought?

“What does it look like?” Gates snapped irritably as Ave hid her blushing face in the crook of his neck. “Cant this wait?”

Could this wait? Fucking hell, some stranger was wasting my last evening together with Maya and I wanted to know exactly who we were dealing with before he did too much damage. “Not really, I need to talk to Ave about… the situation,” I sighed, rubbing my hands over my face.

“What situation?” Ave squeaked in surprise, her crystal clear blue eyes meeting mine. “Is everything okay?”

“That what I need to find out.” It was the truth. I needed to know if Trevor was someone we could trust or if I should boot his ass out of Johnny’s right now. “Do you have a minute?”

Ave nodded and slowly moved off of Brian’s lap, earning another groan of frustration. Gates threw his head back against the brick wall before Ave stood up and whispered something in his ear, earning a wicked smirk. “Fine, but you’ve got five minutes and I mean it, Sanders,” he warned, shooting me a pointed look. Damn I guess Zee was right, he was an irritable bastard tonight, though I couldn’t blame him. I wanted nothing more than to steal Maya away and lock us both away from the world. It was our last night together for Christ sakes. “I’ll go grab us another round of drinks.”

Gates quickly pulled the little blonde into a quick kiss before he turned to head back inside. “Thanks, man,” I said, patting his back and stopping him for a moment. “Keep an eye on Trevor and Maya, will you? I wont trust him until I know the full story.”

Gates nodded, his eyes meeting mine. “Just make it quick. I have plans for later.” Now it was my turn to smile because I was pretty sure we had the same plan involving our girls. There was no more wasting time—tonight was about Maya and I.

“So what’s up, Matt?” Ave asked, blowing out a cloud of smoke and kicking the butt of her cigarette in the ashtray. “Everything okay with you and M?”

I chuckled lightly as I crossed the patio and took a seat next to Ave on the bench. “Everything is great with Maya…it’s fucking Trevor I don’t know about,” I admitted.

“You and me both.” Avery bit down on her bottom lip with a worried expression on her face. Fucking hell, if she was worried about his return, what the hell were we doing leaving Maya alone with him?

“What do you mean?”

“Well…He says he’s changed but I don’t know…” she trailed off with distant eyes, almost like she was recalling a memory. “After everything he did to her…I don’t know if someone can change,” she said sadly, her blue eyes meeting mine as she twisted her fingers together.

“What the hell did he do?” My jaw instantly locked as blood began to pump through my body. Relax Sanders, hear Ave out. If she were worried about Maya’s safety then she wouldn’t be sitting with me now.

Ave let out a long sigh and pulled out another cigarette from her purse. “Maya would kill me if she knew we were talking about this, you know?” She said, lighting up and blowing out a cloud of smoke. She seemed to relax a little bit after her first inhale.

“Well, how else am I supposed to find out? You know she refuses to talk about any of it,” I sighed, running my hands over my face.

“I don’t blame her for not wanting to talk about it,” she sighed. “If I tell you what I know, you have to promise not to say anything, okay? I don’t have the whole story but I can tell you what I know.” I nodded and she continued with another sigh.

“So you know that Maya parents died in a car accident when she was fifteen, right? Well, they were on the way to see her art show at the school and they never made it. The got hit by a drunk driver and the police had to come get her from the school and take her home to Trevor, who was eighteen at the time. He became her legal guardian that night. ”

I leaned forward and pinched my eyes shut, not even being able to imagine what Maya had gone through. I knew her parents died in a car crash but she never shared the heart wrenching details.

“They were both messed up after the accident and in an instant Trevor snapped and changed into a person we had never seen before. It was terrifying and heartbreaking to see them so hurt and fighting. Maya was so broken after her parents died and then Trevor made everything so much worse with his actions. He crushed her, Matt. I mean turned her into a mess of a person that I didn’t even recognize,” Ave said sadly. “She was so bad that I thought I was going to lose her at one point…”

My breath hitched in my throat and I closed my eyes. I couldn’t even imagine my life without Maya and to think that that asshole could have prevented me from having her made my blood boil. “What did he do?” I asked again, trying to remain calm.

“Well,” Ave started, pulling her cigarette back to her lips. “Like I said, I don’t know the whole story but from the little Maya told me, after her sixteenth birthday, which was a month after the accident, they got into a big fight, he kicked her out of the house, sold the house and all their parents things, took all the inheritance, and disappeared. He abandoned her at a time when she needed his support the most, basically blaming her for their parents’ death. I’ve never seen her so bad, not even when we were in the UK, though it was close,” she added, causing a twinge of regret to surge through my body. I didn’t want to think about our time apart. Hell I didn’t even want to leave her tomorrow, but luckily it was only for two months.

Ave sighed before he eyes met mine. “I don’t think she could recover from another incident like that with Trevor…I mean if he hasn’t changed…”

I frowned and crossed my arms over my chest. “How do we know if he’s changed? Can I fucking trust him around her?”

“I don’t know,” Ave sighed again. “Maya seems pretty certain that he has changed but I’m not completely convinced. I mean, he seems different and more like the Trevor I knew growing up. But maybe she’s right, maybe he has changed and I am just being over cautious…” Avery said, looking like she was fighting some internal battle. “I just don’t want her to get hurt again…”

“You and me both, Little Gnome,” I said, putting my arm around her and pulling her into a hug. “We’ll just have to keep an eye on the situation. I promise I wont let anything happen to her.” I gently kissed to the top of her head, knowing how hard all of this was her too. “I promise everything will be okay…”

“Are you two having a private party out here?” a deep voice interrupted, causing both Ave and I pull away from our hug. “Maybe I misunderstood but I thought you were dating my sister, not Avery,” Trevor said, leaning against the door with a beer in his head.

Avery opened and closed her mouth a few times while I scoffed and shook my head. “I am dating your sister, not that it’s really any of your business,” I replied, standing up. “Ave is like my little sister and we were just having a private conversation.”

“Whoa relax, Matt was it? I was just kidding,” Trevor chuckled, putting his hands up in defense. Though the cocky smirk on his lips wasn’t convincing. I looked over at Ave to see her let out a sigh of relief. “Maya and Brian asked if I would come out and get you. They want to do a round of shots.”

“Ugh…not the shot game,” Ave grumbled and I couldn’t help but laugh. I guess some things never changed. “Come on, Little Gnome, you know it wouldn’t be an Avenged party without some kind of shots,” I laughed, leading her past Trevor back inside. Was it just me or were his eyes glued to her from the moment he walked outside?

“Matt! There you are! I’ve been looking all over for you, Big Guy!” Maya yelled as Ave and I reached the bar. I heard people calling my name but I only had one person in my sights—Maya.

As I approached her, I couldn’t hide the huge smile from spreading over my face. I couldn’t wait to kiss her and take her someplace. She was all mine and I was going to have her all night long with out distraction, especially if tonight was going to be the our last night together. Just seeing her in that sexy dress that was riding high on her thighs was turning me on.

“What are you smiling about?” Maya asked as she played with the straw in her drink. She gave me a wicked smile took a sip of her drink in the most seductive way that I had ever seen. Damn, there goes any sense of self-control that I thought I had left because my dick had sprung up in my pants in a mere second.

I narrowed my eyes at her as she did it again, her brilliant brown orbs watching with an evil smirk. Oh, she was good and knew exactly how to get a rise out me. Trust me sweetheart, you aren’t the only one turned on here.

“It’s just nice to finally have you to myself without distractions,” I said, stepping forward and pulling her into my arms. “And you look so fucking hot,” I practically growled before giving her a hungry kiss. And damn she tasted so good too. She was like a drug that I couldn’t get enough of and I wanted more.

“Get a room,” someone called from behind us and I could vaguely hear something about a round of shots, but all my attention was on the beautiful creature in my arms. I couldn’t get enough of her and I wasn’t about to let her go. I had wasted too much time away from her this evening already.

Maya suddenly pulled away from me and looked up at me with a seductive look. Oh, she was going to kill me with his. “We can’t do this here, not in the middle of the party,” she said as I wrapped my arms around her and pushed my hard member into her thigh.

“Then lets get out of here…” I begged, knowing Gates was probably having the same conversation with Avery somewhere behind us. Not to mention that I wanted to get her as far away from Trevor as humanly possible.

“I’m having fun and I want to stick around a little longer. I want to talk to talk to Trevor a little more and see where he is staying,” she said and I suppressed a groan. Her hands had now found their way into my back pocket, giving my ass a firm squeeze.

“Come on, M, it’s our last night together,” I practically begged, pressing her close to my body. I could see her chest rising and falling from my hard member stabbing her in the thigh and our proximity. “Can’t you catch up with him later?”

“I haven’t seen him in ten years and I really want to make amends.” Maya looked so happy that it almost pained me to say anything, but I couldn’t stand idly by while she through caution to the wind.

“Babe are you sure he really wants to make amends?” I asked and Maya instantly took a step away from me. I let out a sigh and tried to pull her back but she wouldn’t let me. “What I mean is just be careful, okay? I don’t want him to hurt you again.”

“He’s changed,” Maya said firmly as she took a shot from the tray Zacky was passing around. “And why would he be here if he didn’t want to make amends? Just give him a chance, Matt. Please? He’s the only family I have left.”

“I’m sorry, babe…you’re right,” I sighed. Okay maybe she was right and I was jumping to conclusions too soon. Maya had always been a good judge of character, well besides the whole Bruce incident, so I should probably trust her about her family. I just didn’t want to see her get hurt, especially after the information I gained from Avery.

We spent the next hour throwing back shots, playing drinking games, and dancing with the girls. And let me just say, I was fucking hammered! Come to think of it, there wasn’t a sober person in the room. Luckily I had managed to keep Maya to myself most of the night. Vengeance came up with the stupid idea to have shot challenges to dance with the girls, but lucky for me that I won all the rounds but one.

“Mmm… I can’t wait to get this dress off of you,” I growled in Maya’s ear as we danced in the middle the dance floor surrounded by our friends. To our left I saw Avery dancing with Trevor as Gates glared at them from the bar. I guess he lost the shot challenge, though I was surprised he was even letting it happen. It was probably because the guy couldn’t walk in a straight line.

“I think we could make that happen,” Maya purred, putting her petite arms up around my neck before her lips hungrily attacked mine. Our lips wrestled for a few second before I won in the battle for dominance and scoped her up into my arms. I could feel my heart racing as our tongues wrestled, my legs moving us on their own accord. All I could concentrate on right now was the throbbing dick in my pants and the way her warm core screamed for freedom through her panties. Damn, I really regretted not having time to have my way with her earlier, but I would make sure this was a time she wouldn’t forget.

The next thing I knew, I had Maya seated to the hood of my car in the parking lot out as she moaned my name. My lips traveled up and down her tattooed neck and arms, nibbling and biting her all over. “Mmm…let’s get out of here,” I growled in her ear, nibbling on her earlobe.

Maya moaned lightly and opened her mouth to reply but it wasn’t her voice that I heard. “Hey guys—whoa sorry!”

“Fucking hell,” I muttered putting my head down. Damn it to hell why the fuck was that Trevor guy everywhere? Everywhere I looked all night; there he was interrupting something we were doing. Fucking hell!

“No, no…it’s okay,” Maya slurred, pushing past me to get off the car. “What’s up?”

“I just wanted to say good night and that I’m headed back to the hotel,” he said as I adjusted my pants. Good riddance if you asked me. He had wasted enough of my night and with him gone I could finally get to the down and dirty business with Maya.

“You’re staying in a hotel?” Maya asked, shaking her head. “No, you can’t stay in a hotel when you have family in the area. Stay with us,” she said and I opened and closed my mouth, trying to find the words to protest. Come on brain, work through the alcohol, you can do it!

“Oh, no I couldn’t impose myself on you guys like that,” Trevor said, looking between us with a sincere look on his face. “I can just catch up with you tomorrow, Sis.”

“Don’t be silly, it wouldn’t be imposing at all, right Matt?” Maya’s voice slurred and I knew I didn’t have any choice in the matter if I wanted to enjoy our last night together. “Sure,” I said, rubbing my hand up and down the back of my head. “You’re more than welcome at our house.”

“Well, thank you, that is a very kind offer,” Trevor said, a smile spreading over his face. “For your generosity, I will call a cab for us, that is if you’re ready to go.”

“Yeah, I just need to go say goodbye to Ave and the guys. I’ll be right back,” and with that Maya disappeared back inside Johnny’s as Trevor pulled out his phone.

Ten minutes later, the three of us were sitting in the back of the cab with Maya and Trevor making small talk. God this night fucking sucked. Trevor had fucking cock blocked me in every chance I got and by the look on Maya’s face she was going to pass out as soon as we got home. And I was right because as soon as we got Trevor settled in the guest room down the hall, Maya passed out in the middle of the bed without so much as a good night kiss. Fucking perfect.

The next morning the bright sun was burning through my closed eyelids, making the insides look like an intense fire. I didn't dare open them because then I knew that this moment would be over: this comfort, total relaxation, and peace. It was funny how time played that little trick on you and today I was going to stretch that bastard to his limits.

I tightly wrapped my arms around Maya and pulled her back into my chest, resting my chin on her shoulder. God she smelled amazing. I slowly took in a deep breath of her orchid and vanilla scented shampoo, closing my eyes letting my hands run down over her exposed thighs. Maya shivered under my touch and leaned back into me. Just having her on my lap was driving me crazy, especially after we were interrupted this morning.

"Matt...What are you doing?" Maya groaned as I gently pulled my fingers through her long dark hair, enjoying its silky touch. I slowly opened my eyes to see an amused smile and dark eyes staring back at me. God she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen.

I smiled and leaned down, pressing a soft kiss to her lips. "Good morning, beautiful," I said after pulling away, my voice husky from sleep. “Do you know the kind of effect you have on me?”

“Oh, I have an idea…” Maya must have noticed my arousal because a moment later, she carefully slipped her hand between my legs and began to squeeze my cock through my boxers. I let out a groan and pressed my head back into the pillow. God that felt so fucking good after the blue balls I had last night. I still couldn’t believe she let her fucking brother cock block us.

“What’s the matter?” Maya whispered in my ear. “You look a little tense?” A little tense? I scoffed and shook my head, earning an even bigger smirk from Maya. I was more than a little tense.

Maya was driving me crazy with desire and my cock throbbed under her touch. I was going crazy with lust and all I could think about was plunging my length deep inside her, giving her the hard fucking she so clearly wanted. I slowly started to kiss her neck and she arched her back into me, obviously feeling the passion too.

“How about we continue what we started last night…” My heart pounded in my chest and my self-control just snapped. With a feral grunt, I kissed her hard and then flipped her over onto her back. Within seconds I was positioned over top of her, rubbing my length threw her soaking wet folds.

Maya threw her head back with a loud moan. I quickly captured her lips with a hot kiss and I was glad to feel her accept it hungrily. The kissed deepened, our tongues fighting for dominance as our hands roamed each other’s body. I wanted her so bad it wasn’t even funny!

“Fuck, Maya, I’ve got to have you…now!” I hissed as teasingly ran my throbbing erection through to her soaking pussy. Maya’s eyes grew wide and her breathing became ragged, and then she took my cock and guided it into her. Feeling her wetness, I thrust hard, sinking my cock deep into her. Maya clamped her eyes shut and whimpered in surrender as I began fucking her on the bed. Her hands gripped my shoulders tightly as we found our rhythm and soon we were kissing deeply as we fucked.

I’d already been on the edge of coming and it only took a few short minutes before I felt the heat of orgasm build in my belly. God Maya felt so good, but I had to control myself. I had to wait until I made her scream my name. Maya held me close and hooked her legs behind mine as I plunged hard into her. She threw he head back and moaned, twitching and convulsing with each deep hard thrust. She was mine and we both knew it, there was no turning back from here.

“Come on, Matt. Fuck me, fuck me hard, baby. I want to feel you come!” She moaned, her nails digging into my shoulders. That was the sexiest fucking thing I had ever heard.

Maya was so close that I could feel it. I moved my hand down to rub her clit, bringing her closer and closer to the edge. I moaned loudly as her muscles massaged my cock as her climax began.

“Oh, god Matt!” she yelled, her body convulsing as she brought me to my orgasm too.

“Fuck!” I threw my head back and roared, squeezing her body against mine I came inside her. I felt the sweet darkness take over for several long, desperate, primal seconds as I released my seed inside her.

“Oh my god…” Maya breathed, her eyes rolling back in her head as she looked up at the ceiling. “That was incredible.”

“You can say that again.” I carefully moved and pulled Maya into my side, kissing up and down her shoulder. “I hope you’re ready because that was only the warm up.” I was already ready to go again.

"I was hoping you would say that because—oh shit! Trevor!" Maya started to sit up but I pulled her back down on top of me, my hard wood greeting her hello.

"Come here," I practically growled, my lips placing a trail of kisses down her shoulder. "Trevor will be fine, I promise. Just relax...He is probably sleeping soundly right now."

Maya raised a brow at me and shook her head. "But what if he gets up and wants some breakfast? Its rude for us to be fucking the morning away when we have a guest in the house.”

"He is a grown ass man who is perfectly capable of making his own breakfast. Now come here, I have more important plans for you!" I growled, quickly flipping her over so her back was in the mattress. Maya squealed and looked surprised as she bit down on her plump bottom lip. That thing right there was sexy as fuck.

I looked down into Maya’s eyes; my thumbs gently caressed her soft cheeks while I held my body weight over top of her. She slowly rocked her hips into mine and her core moved tormentingly slow over my erection. I slowly ran my thumb over her lips as they pulled into a smile. “What are you doing now?”

“You’re beautiful.”

“You are pretty amazing yourself,” she said, running her fingers through my short hair. “Though I think the next time, I’m going to pull your hair.”

“Oh yeah?” I laughed. I loved it when Maya talked dirty to me and showed me her wild side, one of the many things I really liked about her.

With a sparkle in her eye, she tugged on my hair, provoking the animal inside of me. The one who like it rough sometimes—kind of like last night but more intense. Growling in the back of my throat I leaned forward and kissed Maya’s lips hard. She moaned and immediately opened up to me, our tongues dancing in a battle for dominance. She tasted so sweet and I wanted to devour her lips and every other part of her.

Suddenly my phone started blaring from the side table and I let out a groan, knowing my morning with Maya was going to be cut short.

“Fuck,” I hissed before reaching for the phone that was flashing Larry’s face across the screen. This was not at all how I planned this morning to go!


Avery’s POV

“Can you guys please stop that for like two minutes?” Zacky groaned, banging his hand loudly on the metal beam we were leaning against. The noise brought me back from the pure bliss and electric feeling of kissing Brian. “Remember you’re at rehearsal? With your friends? The last rehearsal before we go on tour and we haven’t even start yet? Does any of this ring a bell?”

I slowly pulled my lips away from Brian’s as released the handful of hair that he was holding onto for dear life. I had almost forgotten that we were still in public and around our friends but I just couldn’t help myself. Brian tasted so good and was like a drug that I just couldn’t get enough of. Not to mention our time together this morning hadn’t been nearly long enough. I loved him so much and I wanted to make that clear so I wouldn’t lose him again.

Brian gave me a small frown as I pulled away but we both knew Zacky was right. He was here to rehearse and should save our private party for later. Though the thought of him leaving and sleeping in our bed alone made me feel extremely anxious. We hadn’t been apart since we got back together over a year ago and part of me was afraid I would lose him again on tour. I know it was a silly fear considering we were getting married in four months but it didn’t easy the fact that I hated being apart. I just wished Maya and I could go with them.

“Sorry, Zee,” I said with a deep blush as Brain adjusted his pants. “I’m excited to see you rehearse though. It’s been way too long since I’ve seen you play together.”

Zack and Brain both chuckled as Brain’s arm snaked around my waist. “Yeah, it should be a good show, that is if Sanders will get his ass here. What is keeping him?”

“Maya texted and said that Dad called about the Asking interview. I guess they are trying to get that straightened out. They should be here soon,” I said, checking my phone again. However, the only thing I saw was a notification saying that Maya updated her facebook profile picture to one of her and Trevor.

I still didn’t know how I felt about his return. I mean, we were all good friends back then, and hell Trevor and I had even had a few special moments. He was my first kiss, though I would never tell Brian that fact, knowing he would flip shit. But after Mr. and Mrs. Brandon passed away, Trevor completely changed into a person that I didn’t recognize. I never thought he could have hurt Maya the way he did, or just up and leave Huntington Beach without so much as a goodbye. But maybe he had completed therapy and changed—I didn’t know what to believe.

“There he is! About fucking time you got your ass to rehearsal,” Matt Berry teased as he came walking into the rehearsal space, his fingers intertwined with Maya’s. They both looked happy which was a good sign.

“Shut up Berry,” Matt said, playfully shoving him to the side after taking his earpiece. “Lets get this show on the road.”

“Hey M,” I said, waving from the chairs Jason had set up for us to watch the rehearsal. “Did you have a good morning?”

Maya smiled and bit down on her bottom lip, looking like she was on cloud nine. “You have no idea, Little Gnome. Trevor and I have been really hitting it off and catching up. I can’t believe that he’s really here and that he’s actually changed,” she beamed. Well, that wasn’t at all the response I was expecting, especially from the way she was look at Matt when they came in. “Oh and your dad is taking care of the Asking interview situation for us. Thank goodness.”

“M…” I started, twisting my fingers together. “About Trevor…how do you—”

“Not you too, Ave,” Maya sighed, running her fingers through her hair. “I already told Matt this morning that there is nothing to worry about. He has changed. He’s been in therapy for the past six years trying to manage everything and he’s finally come to terms with all his issues. He even wants to take us to the park for a picnic tomorrow to catch up,” she explained. “Just wait until he tells you some of his stories and trials he been through in therapy, they are just truly amazing,” she gushed, her eyes not focused on the guys and their sound check.

“And you’ve forgiven him for everything?” I asked cautiously, not wanting to aggravate her when she was in such a great mood, which was really surprising considering the guys were leaving in eight hours. I half expected her to have her ‘strong’ face on, trying to hide that she was hurting as much as I was.

Maya pursed her lips and let out a sigh before she answered. “Yeah, I think that he was just young and didn’t know what to do with everything that happened. He apologized for what he did and explained that he was just grieving and that he never meant to hurt me.”

I nodded, letting my mind wander back to last night—well of what I remembered anyway. I recall there being lots of shots, dancing, and the most mind-blowing sex when I got home, but that was beside the point. I did remember dancing with Trevor and him talking to me about living in New York for a few years.

“So he really has changed?” I asked again only for Maya to roll her eyes and laugh. “Yes he’s changed. Do you think he would be staying with Matt and I if he hadn’t changed?”

“He’s staying with you?” I question, surprise written all over my features. “How does Matt feel about that?”

Maya laughed again and gave me a pointed look. “He’s fine with it. Like I said, Trevor is a changed man. I promise you, Ave.” she said, taking my hand. “He is actually helping Matt Berry pack up some of the equipment on the truck right now. The roadies have to leave earlier with the truck so they can set up, so they’ll leave right after rehearsal.”

“Trevor really has changed,” I said thoughtfully, turning my attention back up to the stage where the guys were beginning rehearsal.

As soon as the guys started their final rehearsal my eyes were glued to Brian. God I forgot how freaking handsome and sexy he looked up there. Just seeing him play made feelings and memories arise in me that I forgot that I had. And I couldn’t deny that I loved him and part of me knew that I always would. God I couldn’t believe in four short months that we would be married. It was almost surreal to think about.

It was amazing how effortlessly Brain moved on the stage and how easily his fingers flew across the frets. He was the guitar god everyone said he was and just watching his fingers was making me squirm. All I could do was remember how he had used them on me last night. Within seconds I could feel myself becoming wet and I shook my head. Come on, Ave, get a hold of yourself, there is no time for that right now.

Suddenly our eyes met and I felt like I was the only person in the world. Brian bit down on his knuckle as he looked at me, controlling his whammy bar with the other hand. God, was there anything that man didn’t look good doing? Seconds later he recovered and licked his lips as he nodded at me, his eyes never leaving mine. Brian’s gaze was hypnotizing and sending small goose bumps all over my body. He still drove me crazy and that was easy to see.

“Man they sound good,” Maya practically moaned in my ear. I followed her gaze to Matt and couldn’t help but smile. She was so in love with him that anyone with eyes could see that they were meant to be together. I just couldn’t wait until Maya popped the question to Matt. Speaking of which, we still needed to pick a date and start putting all the ducks in a row! Ah, I couldn’t wait for them to be engaged too!

“You can say that again,” I said, noticing both Matt and Brian looking our way. I smiled lightly and watched Brain play his solo, trying to get my body back in control. God just watching Brian play was turning me on. For the first time in months, I felt truly awake and alive from the music and Brian. “I just wish we could go with them…” I sighed.

“Me too, Little Gnome,” Maya said sadly. “But maybe once we hire a few more employees to help with the new fashion line, we could take a few days off to go see them. Wont they be surprised when we show up at a concert,” Maya chuckled.

“Yeah, and we have those Breaking Ben and Disturbed tickets for next weekend,” I added, causing Maya and I to bounce up and down with excitement. “Bri even booked up a spa weekend at a hotel too!”

“Oh my god this is going to be a great weekend. I cant wait to—”

“What can’t you wait for?” my father’s voice sounded behind us, causing me to jump in surprised. My heart started to race and I put my hand on my chest as he pulled both Maya and I in for a hug.

“Dad, what are you doing here?” I asked, giving him a kiss on the cheek. Last I knew he was supposed to be heading to New York this morning.

“My flight got pushed back to this afternoon so I came to give you and the guys an update about the Asking interview and some tour information,” he said, looking between Maya and I and stage as the guys finished up. “But I really hope that the person I saw moving equipment isn’t who I thought it was.” Dad gave Maya and I a stern look, the vein in his neck pulsing ever so slightly. Daddy was not at all a fan of Trevor’s and never had been. He thought Maya’s brother was bad news from the beginning. And after he hurt Maya the way he did, he didn’t want us to have anything to do with him. I remember hearing him talk with someone on the phone about how Trevor was stealing things from him, but I never believed it. The Trevor I knew wouldn’t do that.

“Hey Larry what’s up,” Matt and Brian greeted as my father looked between Maya and I for an answer.

“Yes it was Trevor,” Maya sighed. “But before you start saying we should kick him out, he’s changed. He’s been in therapy and he came back to Huntington Beach to make amends.”

My dad scoffed and shook his head. “I don’t believe that for a second. That boy has been nothing but trouble from the get go and I don’t want you girls to get to close, especially you Maya. I wouldn’t trust a thing he says,” dad warned, causing both Matt and Brian to look at each other with a raised brow.

“I’m sorry Mr. Jacobson, but he’s the only family I have and I’m not going to turn him away because of a mistake he made when he was teenager,” Maya said sternly as my dad sighed.

“I wish you would reconsider your choice, Maya and I hope for your sake that you are right,” he said before turning to Matt and Brian. “So I have some news on the Asking interview.”

“Did they take out the part about Maya and Bruce?” Matt asked, cutting straight to the chase. “Because I swear we are going to be living in a shit storm of media, their bullshit lies, and stalking if any of that information comes to the surface.”

My dad held up his hand to quiet Matt with a small smirk on his face. “Yes, I am in the middle of getting court documents to get that part of the interview taken out. However, it will take a few days. The good news is that I have talked to PitCam TV about the situation that is happening and they said they will respect our privacy by not releasing that section of the video.”

“Thank fucking god,” Matt said, pulling Maya into his side. “The last thing the girls need is the press chasing them around while we are on tour.”

“No thank you. Been there, done that,” I sighed, trying to think about being under house arrest because the media wouldn’t leave our yard.

“And they wont sell the footage either?” Brian asked, causing my head to snap around to him. They could do they? They would sell the story to the highest bidder, even if the court was after them not to?

Dad sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. “They didn’t say that but hopefully I scared them with the incoming court order. Now it is a waiting game, but if anything comes out we sue for breach of privacy and court ruling.”

“I will just be glad when all this bullshit is behind us,” Matt sighed as everyone nodded in agreement.

“What’s behind you? Everything okay?” Trevor asked, approaching the group from the shadows to my left. How long had he been standing there? I didn’t know but you could cut the sudden tension of his appearance in the room with a knife. “Something wrong with the tour?”
