Carpe Noctem

*~*M. Shadows*~*

"Guys, seriously, we are way in over our heads here. We NEED a professional." Brian groaned out yet again.

"No. We have totally throw parties this huge on our own." Zack grumbled throwing his arms over his chest.

"Dude, we are planning something that would put Jay Gatsby to shame. We need someone to come in and give us a hand." I shot back with a light chuckle.

"Matt, we have the girls and they love throwing parties and events." Johnny sided with Zack as Brian and I shook our heads.

"Fine, call Larry and see what he thinks." Zack cocked his eyebrow, giving quite the smug look.

"Alright." I let out a hearty laugh then dialed our manager. It only took a couple rings before he answered brightly.

"What's up Matt?" I could hear his content smile.

"We wanna do this album release party with class and to be totally epic. Do you think it would behoove us to bring in a professional party planner?" I questioned, getting right down to business.

"I don't think it's a terrible idea actually. There's a girl that lives right in Long Beach that is amazing. She's done parties for Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Megadeth, Dream Theater, Children of Bodom and Bullet for My Valentine." Larry explained.

When I heard the first three, I was impressed but didn't think she would be up our alley but then her last four clients...this girl might be perfect.

"What's her name? Does she have some sort of portfolio or website?" I questioned.

"Harper Wesson. I'll text you all her info if you want. With how elaborate you guys are planning this, I really do think that this wouldn't be a terrible idea." Larry explained then hung up, immediately sending me the girl's information.

"Alright, we're gonna check this chick out and if we don't like what she's done then we do it on our own, fair?" I asked the guys while pulling Brian's laptop from the table and into my lap.

"I can get behind that." Johnny nodded and Brian agreed. Zack was the only one being difficult about everything but he's out voted at this point.

I got on Google, punching in the girls name then her website came up. It was incredibly professional considering how she makes money.

"She did one for Breaking Bad?!" Zack practically lunged out of his chair looking at all the photos from the even she threw.

"Is that her?" Brian pointed with a cocked eyebrow.

"I fucking hope so. Sweet Jesus." I seethed as I looked at a photo with Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. with a woman that was quite a bit shorter than them with a lovely rack, curves and killer legs. She had on a black leather pencil skirt with a black leather jacket that had the Black Widow logo on the a belt on the jacket. Her pumps were red and her make up was done up classic pin up make up but in the crease of her eyes was blood red with matching lipstick. Her hair was platinum hair that in some lighting looked opal, pearl essence. She was stunning to say the least. Beautiful big green eyes and a smile that's to die for.

"She is sandwhiched between Captain America and Iron Man....I think we should hire her." Johnny seethed out biting his bottom lip.

"Look at all the pretty tattoos! And...I spy with my little eye a fucking deathbat!" Brian let out a maniacal laugh.

"Done and done. That's our party planner." I nodded and grabbed her phone number off the site then giving her a quick call.

"Carpe Noctem Events, this is Harper." A light yet sultry, sexy voice answered.

"Hiya Harper, this is Matt or M. Shadows from Avenged Sevenfold and our manager referred you for our album release party." I rattled off right away.

"Whoa, that is a ton of info to take in at once. Did you say you're M. Shadows?" Harper seemed to be a little starstruck....

"Indeed, that is who I am. Would you like the gig? I mean we want you cause we some some of the parties you've done and we're blown the fuck away." I chuckled and the guys were all nodding in agreement with me.

"Well, how soon are you looking at the album release? We're gonna need three months of planning for something crazy." Harper blew raspberries and I put her on speaker phone so the rest of the guys could hear her too.

"She has a hot voice." Brian mouthed, biting his bottom lip. I nodded with a look of pain on my face.

"Well the album drops in July..." Zack pretty much explained.

"Gentlemen, you called me at the right them then. How would you like to meet for coffee tomorrow and throw around some ideas?" Harper sounded like she was now typing on her phone.

"Um yeah, so soon?" Brian asked.

"Well hello Gates, yes. Tomorrow is my only free day this week. We have to cram a bunch in tomorrow if you don't mind..." She cleared her throat uncomfortably.

"Not at all, we look forward to it!" Zack jumped in this time.

"Excellent. I like a stiff drink in the morning so would you guys mind meeting me at The Irishman? I figure the closer to your homes the better." I could hear a smile drawing on Harper's lips.

"We actually love that place." Johnny chuckled.

We all looked at each other getting more excited.

"Perfect. I'll see you guys there, say about nine am?" Harper asked.

"Sounds great! See you then!" We all responded in unison then said our goodbyes.
