Jake’s POV

It was early Saturday morning and I looked back at the schedule, my note was ripped off and replaced with another.

Sorry, the meeting was scheduled long ago, can’t be rescheduled. Derek is coming, especially for this. Ash

I sighed, shit… I tried to get the appointment rescheduled to be able to go with Ella to the concert, the problem was all I did was for nothing as it seemed.

Shit, I really wanted to spend this weekend completely with Ella, I had to leave on Monday for this special training week. I would only be able to video call and not be able to coming by, it sucked… We had only worked two days together and then I would leave her alone already…

At least she had Liz and her husband to go with her to the concert, because as I knew Ella, she would try to cancel as well. But I wouldn’t let her, she had the right to have some fun and then on Sunday we could spend all day in bed, if it was going my way.

I leaned back in my chair and sighed, I had to call her now, she was probably already waiting for me to bring breakfast with me as apology for leaving early again. I let her sleep this morning and went to work alone, I didn’t have shift today, but the damn meeting couldn’t be cancelled.

I dialed our number and waited for her to roll out of bed and pick up “Hello?” I heard her sleepy voice and had to chuckle.

“Hey babe” I grinned and heard a groan on the line “Where are you already? And why do you wake me to this unholy hour? You are supposed to lie next to me… sleep next to me” Ella mumbled and I knew she just turned around in our bed.

“I know, babe. But I was still trying to figure out a way to go with you to the concert tonight” I admitted and heard a groan “You said you would be going, I told Liz already we would go…” Ella sounded frustrated and I sighed again “I know, babe… I tried and I thought it would work out, but the meeting can’t be postponed… How about you call Liz and tell her to pick you up, it will be fine, okay?” I asked and only silence greeted me from the other line.

“Ella? Please, I really tried… and Sunday is all for us, even Monday morning we can have together” I tried to cheer her up but still nothing.
“Ella?” I asked and thought I might have lost her.

“I will call Liz and tell her that we are not coming” I closed my eyes when Ella finished and shook my head. “Just because I can’t go, doesn’t mean that you are not going, honey. I want you to go, I will be at work anyway, so why would you wait and sit at home. Call Liz, tell her you are coming, end of it.” I said and Ella was about to protest again but I stopped it right away.

“I’ll leave the office within the next 5 minutes, get us breakfast, and hope you are waiting for me naked in bed, so when I walk in through the door I have something to look forward to and so do you” I growled into the phone, while I already pushed myself up from the chair, closing the laptop and taken a few steps away from the office room.

“Hmm.. you want me naked?” I heard Ella’s seductive voice and felt my pants getting tight, that’s what Ella did to me, just with a few words, with her smile, her laugh, her antics she could make me lose my mind, I was a slave to her… I couldn’t imagine myself with anyone else beside her.

“Ella, I’m warning you… I still need to drive” I growled back and left the studio without saying goodbye to anyone.
“And the shirt is gone” I heard her teasing voice, then some rusting of clothes.
I swallowed thickly as I reached my car and took a seat inside

“Ella…” I groaned when more rustling sounded and her heavy breathing “What if I start without you already? And imagine you are here?” Ella asked and I had a hard time finding the direction I wanted to go to.

I did plan on getting breakfast for us, but when I noticed where I was headed, I was already on my way home, breakfast be damned, I would have the greatest feast known to man, my girl.

“I’m on my way, babe. Don’t disappoint me” I hung up, throwing the phone beside me onto the passenger seat and put the pedal to the floor.

When I reached our house, I saw another car parked before it and recognized it as Liz’s. I groaned loudly, hitting the steering wheel with my fist, my hard-on that had been tormenting me while driving the entrie time was slowly fading.

I had been driving about 10 minutes since I hung up, how the hell could Liz be here so quickly?!
I climbed out of the car and made my way over to the door, I heard Ella and Liz laughter when I closed the door behind me.

I smiled, glad to hear that Ella was in a good mood, that Liz could cheer her up with everything else going on around her. She really had to have some more fun and allow herself more fun.

I slowly moved into the living room finding Liz and Ella sitting on the couch, she was in a bathrobe and had tears in her eyes from laughing, which placed a smile on my face immediately too.

“That is not how I hoped to find you, even though the smile looks perfect on you, both of you, of course” I said and placed my key and phone on the wardrobe.

“Well, I think Ella thought she would find someone else too…” Liz laughed loudly clapping her thigh and I rolled my eyes, imagining what she meant.

“And after Ella thought she could brush me off with a message, I thought I would convince her in person, that she has to come with me to the show tonight.” Liz turned from me to Ella, who started looking at me hopeful but I shook my head with a smile.

“And that’s why I told Ella too that she should go with you and Dave… but sadly I have to decline… I tried to get the meeting postponed, but Derek is coming in for this… so I can’t… I really tried, I’m sorry” I sat down beside Ella pulling her into my side, and she immediately melted against me.

“See, even Jake agrees. So it’s settled, be ready at 6. I will call my brother to come along, it will be fine, we gonna have loads of fun and you can later tell Jake about the hot guys on stage, the loud music and call in sick on Monday, cause you still can’t hear anything” Liz got up and winked at me, not giving me or Ella a chance to say anything against it, and we only noticed until the door fell closed behind her.

I pushed Ella down on the couch, capturing her lips with mine “Now show me, what’s beneath this” I pointed to her robe and Ella grinned up to me “Why don’t you find out…”

Ella’s POV

Maybe Jake and Liz were right, I should go to that concert, even though Jake wouldn’t be able to come along.

I took a long shower and let the hot water run over me, Liz wouldn’t give me an out anyway, she was planning with me. I didn’t know why, but she was excited… and her excitement was somehow encouraging me as well.

You didn’t always get the chance to go VIP on a rock concert, so well… why the hell not. I didn’t have much time for concert or music in gerneal with all the work that had been going on, so if not now, when else?

I shut the water off and was suddenly pulled into a fluffy towel. I smiled when I felt Jake’s hands on my skin. He carefully dried me off and smiled down on me.

“And you made a decision? I need to leave in 10 minutes” He asked and I sighed loudly, I had really hoped he would be coming with me. Swaying to the music, or dancing fast… I still didn’t know what actual songs they would be playing or if I would even like any of it live.

“I made a decision, and I’m going, maybe you are right and this will be fun” I said while pulling the towel around me, Jakes eyes following my every move making me giggle lightly.

“It will be… Liz will make sure of that, she seemed pretty excited already. And I promise the next weekend will be ours, as soon as I am back… I have three days off and we will spend them together, no matter what.” Jake promised lifting my hand up to his lips and kissing my knuckles.

I nodded “I’ll take you up on that promise, Jake.” He grinned, it made him look so much younger and that boyish grin always made butterflies explode in my belly.

“Now get ready for your evening and write me when you are there. I want you to have fun and enjoy the evening, I wished I could go with you.” Jake kissed my cheek and walked towards the door.
“Thanks babe, and don’t work so long.” I smiled and he sighed loudly before leaving me alone.

I dressed and redressed a couple of times, I had no idea what to wear during this concert but I decided on a black skinny jeans and a dark red top. I thought it would be hot inside, so I wouldn’t need much more, and if I saw Liz wearing something else, I could still throw something over my top.

When the doorbell rang I quickly grabbed my key, wallet and phone and dropped it into my handbag. I hurried to the door and Liz was waiting for me, she looked hot, had to say that, and Dave was probably glad she was taking him along.

She wore a black skirt and grey top showing of her goods and I had to chuckle “Your husband’s with you, right?” I asked jokingly when I closed the door behind us.
“My husband and brother, but still I want to look sexy, is that a crime?” Liz winked at me and I rolled my eyes, she was the worst.

When we climbed into the car I was surprised seeing Liz brother had decided to join us as well.
“Better have four eyes watching you girls” Her brother Tom joked and I nodded, what did they think we would be doing, or what did Liz tell them?!

We arrived at the venue and with the VIP tickets that Liz had for us, we could walk right by the growing line of people waiting.
We showed the badges and were led through a side entrance. We were ushered together with a group of around ten other people towards the stage.

They were doing a small tour with us around the standing area for the crowd, we get to meet the opening act, do pictures with them, ask questions until we were finally led up to the stage and could walk around the set up carefully.

They showed us where we were allowed to stand during the show and then it was about to get a small meeting with the band.

I had no idea who the members were, or what question I could ask them, though the way it looked Liz would take over anyway. She was jumping up and down beside me and was blabbering all the time, it was hard for me to keep up with everything, while she tried to drill names and songs inside my brain and I repeated everything to make sure anything would stick.

While we were waiting Liz had the (not-so)-great idea of redo my make up. I had no idea what would come out of it, but apparently that woman was on a mission. She pulled me to the restroom and started to work on my eye make up, then smeared lipgloss on my lips and I could at least talk her out of the rest she had hidden in her bag.

When we walked back out it had almost been good 15 minutes since the band should have shown up already and I think I still remembered a lot of information that Liz drilled into my brain.
Her husband had her arm loosely around her waist, pulling her into his side, while Liz brother was standing beside me.

“Where is your boyfriend?” Tom asked me “Not his type of music?” He continued to ask before I could get a word out and I shook my head “No he actually-”
“Or is there no boyfriend anymore?” He stepped closer and I frowned, wasn’t he married?

Instead of answering I decided to ask him the same thing, since he apparently wasn’t about to listen to me anyway “And your wife? Is she fine?” I asked and Tom looked away, well… I think something was going on there that Liz hadn’t told me about it yet…

Matt’s POV

I was damn busy with preparations for the final show, but this morning I decided to head to the fitness club again I had been too before with Brian.

I arrived and the blonde babe he had banged the other day, was standing behind the counter again, she winked at me “Where’s your friend?”
I smirked “Still sleeping, hard life that guy has” I said while walking past her, but I could hear her footsteps behind me.

“Such a shame, but nice you are around again… already thought it was a onetime thing” Her voice sounded as she tried to keep up with me.
“Well, don’t know if he plans to show up again, but I wanted to have a nice workout before the working day starts” I said without turning around, I knew what she wanted to know, but I couldn’t give her any more information.

If Gates would show up here again and if he even wanted to fuck her again wasn’t any of my business and that should Gates solve all on his own.

“Oh..okay well…” She sighed but her footsteps where still following me and I sighed, shit I really wasn’t here to be engaged into any kind of conversation, I was here to work out, get some nice relaxation before the show tonight, and fine… maybe I was here to find out the name of the girl I had seen the other day, but that was about it.

“I’m sorry blondie, I can’t help you with him… He is a free spirit” I finally turned around and her sad blue eyes met mine. I don’t know how Gates was doing it, but it seemed just with one meeting or one fuck he had the girls under his spell and they couldn’t get enough of him…

“Oh yeah sure… no…” She straightened and seemed to gather herself again but still didn’t leave. That’s not how I planned to spend my morning, when the door behind her back opened, I don’t know why but I hoped it would be the little brunette that I had seen the other day, and then I had a reason to leave her standing here and I could find out the name-

But before I could finish the thought I saw that it wasn’t her, but the trainer from last time and I sighed, damn but still was she there too?!

“I’ll leave you to your work-out” Blondie roused me from my thoughts and I nodded absently and saw her walking away next.

I finally started what I came here for to do and after a good hour felt better, my eyes were glued to the one door an my muscles were starting to ache. I knew I shouldn’t overdo, since I still had a tough show to do in the evening, so I decided to call it a day.

I would just come by again next week, I mean… the tour was over and I had some time to kill, so why the hell not do it while working out, and maybe I would take Dan along with me, he wasn’t called The Body for no reason, and since he might know some of the employees, maybe I would be able to finally get a name out of someone.

Hours later we sat in the Van that would bring us to the venue, “Meet and greet, huh?” Jimmy asked his leg jumping up and down, making me almost go insane. I grabbed a hold of his thigh and stopped the movement.

He looked at me with a smirk, his muscles still trying to move, but I held on firmly “I do need that part of my leg still tonight, you know?” He chuckled and I nodded, letting go “Then save up your energy for the show, Jimbo”

“Whose it going to be? We separate three before, two after the show?” Brian asked, letting his sunglass fall down, so we could see his eyes.
“Hm.. sounds fair..” Zack nodded and before I could speak up again, the other had already decided for me to be on the late shift, and I groaned.

“What the hell? I didn’t even get to say something!?”I asked pissed off, no one wanted to do the after show meet and greet, because we all just wanted to party and drink and not engage ourselves with heavy asked questions or fan-girling, besides the ones that wanted to get a hook up.

“You gotta be quicker next time, Shads” Zack clapped my shoulder and I groaned even louder. We were almost at the venue and would soon get a quick meeting with the crew and then the meet up with the fans would start. If I didn’t think of something real quick I would be stuck with the late meets and I could imagine doing something better than that… fuck…

“Damn, can you believe that it’s the final show, the tour being over after it?!” Johnny asked beside me and I thought back to the months we spend being on the road.
It would be a weird feeling to be able to do whatever I wanted and not go after a certain schedule.

"Hey short shit, you wanna exchange?" I asked thinking of a plan that would might get him over to my side, I had something in my house bar that might convince the little guy to change places with me...
