BRIAN

Playing games with me, huh? Did Miss Berry think I was that dumb and won't understand anything? Oh, if she wanted to play the game of cat and mouse with me, I surely didn't have a problem with it. I just needed to make her go weak in the knees. But how?

She did react earlier today when I had pinned her between me and the bus. But then, she just left me hanging all by myself! It was showtime and I wanted it to go well. But the thoughts of the hot little brunette was not ready to leave my mind at all. Somehow, the first half of the show went well. I nailed all the solos and watched the kids go crazy.

After the solo of Beast and the Harlot, I quickly went to my mic stand to sing my vocals when my eyes landed on the smoking hot brunettes on the side of the stage. I averted my eyes from the uptight bitch also known as Nancy and fixed my gaze on DJ. Damn, she looked super hot in that outfit. Her low cut top and those skinny pants was killing me already!

I looked straight into her eyes and saw her freeze in her shoes. Fucking hell, it was too much to see her dressed like that and not being able to do anything. Damn it Sanders, and damn your fucking rules! I bit my knuckle as DJ let her eyes wander over me.

Hell, the show was going on! I regained my posture and licked my lips. That little tease smirked and raised an eyebrow at me. And the next minute, she looked past me as if I didn't exist! What was wrong with her?

Did she not see my face ever? I mean, how can she not look at me?

DJ whispered something in Nancy's ear and I wondered what she was saying. What was going on in that pretty little head of hers now? Zacky appeared beside me and we both had our eyes fixed on the girls. Though I did not know which one he was looking at.

And just like that in the blink of an eye, DJ pulled away Nancy and they walked over beside Zacky's side of the stage. Was she fucking kidding me?! As Zacky exchanged his guitar, I saw DJ place a kiss on his cheek. Where the fuck are the twins?! Their sister just kissed the left handed guitarist!

Well, I was trying to do the same earlier today. But at least, I had the fucking decency to do it in private. Her every move was making me frisky. Hell, if Zacky could get a kiss then why the fuck should I stay behind? I was Synyster fucking Gates for crying out loud! DJ didn't even look at me for the rest of the show and it was starting to wake up the monster inside of me.

An hour later when I went to the after party, my eyes were frantically searching for DJ. We needed to talk, her avoiding me like a fucking pole wasn't allowed in my book. When I finally spotted her, she was talking with Jimmy. So I looked at her from a distance. She crossed her arms over her chest and pressed her cleavage up, giving me a little sneak peek. Fuck, why did everything she did looked so damn hot?

DJ moved over to the bar and my eyes never left her for a second. If she thought I had given up, then she was fucking wrong. Nothing was gonna prevent me from getting what I wanted, yes you heard me correct, nothing!

Hmm, if I gave her a taste of her own medicine and act like none of her actions are bothering me then the cards may flip and DJ will see what she was missing on. She finished her drink in one go and made her way outside. Wasn't she supposed to stay here in the party?

Seconds later, I followed her outside only to find her leaning against a wall and inhaling the sweet nicotine from a cigarette. Play it cool, Haner.

"When are we going to stop playing this game?" I said and put on my game face. She was a challenge for me, my biggest challenge so far. And I couldn't let her see my weak points, that was just not allowed. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in your party, drinking booze and flirting with random chicks?" She said with a surprised look on her face which quickly turned into a nonchalant one. Even I could act as the uninterested asshole if it would get me closer to my goal.

"You didn't answer my question," I said, leaning against the wall beside her. "Oh, you didn't either." DJ said, blowing a could of smoke. "I asked first." I said and smirked, oh I was determined to make this my game. "Smartass," she muttered, making me laugh silently.

A little later she spoke up again, "Haner, I don't know what you're talking about." I could see the tiny smirk playing on her lips though. She was enjoying this, I fucking knew it!

"Fine, we'll leave that conversation for later. Let's talk about something else." I said licking my lips instinctively as she blew out another cloud of smoke.. "You wanna talk? I hope my ears are okay." DJ said and I raised an eyebrow. Did she think I couldn't have a conversation with women? Miss Berry still wasn't aware of what I could do, that is such a shame.

"So how are things?" I started out with a simple question. I had to know what was going on between her and Zacky. I fucking saw how close they were and I wasn't gonna let him out of all the people come into my way. "What things?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. "You know, things between you and Zacky." I said nonchalantly. "Oh, you're talking about that?" DJ said, slightly surprised. What, was there something actually going on between them?!

"Maybe something is building up between me and Zack," she said, batting her eyelashes at me. Oh no, she wasn't gonna get away with that look. And was she serious about her and Vengeance?!

"Is something bothering you, Haner?" DJ asked, shooting me a grin. Of course things were bothering me! No woman ever left me hanging the way she did, I've never felt like ripping off one of my best friend's head before and it surely did not take me this long to get what I wanted! DJ was like a drug to me, and I needed to have her even if it's only for once.

"Okay, look. I'm gonna be straight about this." I said and inhaled. "Straight about what?" DJ asked, narrowing her eyes at me. I couldn't keep it in anymore, she had to know what she was doing to me. "We both know what we want from each other, don't we?" I said. Fuck, when was the last time I was this serious? "I don't know what you're talking about," she said before finishing her cigarette.

"DJ, I'm not kidding. You and I both know there's this sexual tension between us! So can we just talk about it like two adults?" I said, hell I was getting what I wanted at any cost. She bit on her lip and crossed her arms over her chest, giving me a great view to look at. "You're right, Haner. Maybe we should just- hey, look at my face when I'm talking to you at least." She said when she caught me looking at her amazing body.

"What were you saying?" I asked, fixing my eyes on her face. "Nothing. You know what, Zacky must be looking for me. So I better go back," she said, pointing her thumb at the after party behind. Zacky again?! Why won't she just tell me what was actually going on between them? They got along well and they did spend a hell lot of time together. What was the deal?!

"What, are you seeing him?" And we were back on the Zacky Vee conversation again! Were they breaking the rules? Hell, why did I even care about the fucking rules? I was trying to break them too, wasn't I?

"My lips are sealed," she said, acting to zip up her lips. My blood was boiling at this point but I tried my best to remain calm. "But," she said, staring into my eyes. "What?" I demanded.

"We do feel so right together, don't we?" She said, looking at me incredulously. Now she was getting on the right fucking track! I've been trying to make her understand that for a while now. "You feel that too?" I asked, oh this was definitely going somewhere. She bit on her lip and nodded slowly, "Maybe..."

I fucking knew that she felt something too! She just liked to mess around with me, why shouldn't I do the same to her?

"Really?" I asked smirking and she nodded smirking back. "Then you finish what you started earlier this morning." I demanded, yep, my cocky side was begging me to let him out now. Hell, I wasn't gonna let DJ get away that easily now that she came to my hands. She raised an eyebrow at me, was she planning to bail out of this now? There's no way I'm letting that happen!

Without another thought, I pushed myself towards her and pinned her to the wall before she could take any actions. I heard her gasp and felt her soft hands on my forearms. Fuck, she smelled so nice and it felt more than good to have her body so close to mine. Just as I leaned my face forward, she tilted her head to the side and let out a chuckle. Damn it, why wouldn't she just give in? Was it that hard?!

Pushing my body more into hers, I let out a growl to let her know what she was doing to me. If this wasn't called torture, then I didn't know what was. I felt myself grow hard as DJ let her hands travel lightly over my shirt.

After what seemed like an eternity, she started to bring her face closer to mine, making me cheer mentally. The time wasn't far when we'd be playing tonsil hockey with each other. I couldn't wait to taste her, have her all to myself.

Damn, I had been waiting for this since the last forty eight hours. The little brunette was in my mind ever since she arrived and finally the time had come now to take control over her fully. Not that it bothered me if she wanted to be in charge, fuck that would be hot. But this was my game, and we'd have to go by my rules.

I felt her soft lips on the corner of my mouth, teasing me slowly at first. Her lips brushed against mine gently and that only action made my little friend down there come to life. I just wanted to corner her and have my wicked way with her. I let my hands travel down her sides, tracing her curves as they went down and settled on her hips. She let out a moan and I instantly knew that I had to taste her, badly I might add. Just as I was about to give her full access by parting my lips, she pulled away leaving me wanting for more.

"That wasn't even a kiss," I groaned after DJ pulled away. She was such a tease, she fucking knew what her touch was doing to me. She let out a sexy laugh before saying, "When did I ever say I was gonna kiss you?" And the little tease was back again. I might have to get used to her games if I wanted her anytime soon in my bed. But now I had made up my mind and I was gonna get what I wanted.

She started to wriggle out of my hold but luckily she couldn't. I chuckled as DJ failed miserably trying to push me away. I leaned forward again, oh this time I was gonna achieve my goal and nothing could stop me. Even Miss Berry wasn't fighting much, so that made it easier. She slowly poked her tongue out and licked her lips, making my pants grow tight. Fuck, she surely had the power to do that.

And just as I was was about to seal the deal, I heard a voice. Or should I say a very familiar voice.
"DJ?!" I instantly backed away the moment Zacky's voice reached my ears. And here comes my cock blocker number two, Zacky fucking Vengeance! He was looking around at first, thank god he hadn't seen anything.

"Zack, what are you doing here?" DJ asked rather surprised when Zacky spotted us. Why, god? Why'd you have to send this guy now?!

"Nancy ditched me and disappeared somewhere. So I came looking for you, my partner in crime." He said joining us and shot a smirk at DJ. What did that look mean? "Oh..." she muttered as I tried to fix the bulge on my pants.

"What were you two doing out here?" Zacky asked, raising an eyebrow. The look on his face clearly said that he wasn't so happy to find DJ and I alone here. Oh, now I was hundred percent sure that something was going on between him and DJ! But if there was something cooking up between those two, why did DJ moan against my mouth? Okay, the corner of my mouth!

"You don't expect anyone to smoke in the party, do you?" DJ said, putting her hands on her hips. Hmm, sexy and intelligent. "True. So you ready to fuck shit up at the party now, with me? My company is said to be no less than gold." Zacky said, shooting a wink at DJ who laughed it off. What was wrong with this guy? First, he crashed my kiss with DJ and now he wants to take her away!

"Still have that charm going on, I see. Let's hit the party!" DJ cheered, allowing Zacky to wrap an arm around her waist. What the fuck was going on?

"You coming, Haner?" DJ asked, grinning at me. "I need a smoke," I said, shooting them a nonchalant look. Zacky didn't have to know what was gonna happen here if he hadn't arrived. Fuck, he would tell Shads and the twins, and they'll send away DJ. "What are we waiting for then? Let's go." Zacky said and walked him and DJ back inside the party.

Fuck, I had to do something soon about Vengeance. Best friend or not, he had to get out of my way. I was this fucking close to kissing DJ, dammit! I was gonna have a taste of her, without a fucking doubt and nobody could stop me. Not even my friends or the Berry twins or Nancy! All I had to do was play it cool.

NANCY

Holy shit, I had almost forgotten what an Avenged concert was like! Well, that was bound to happen because the last time I ever watched them perform live was a really long time ago, when I first started working for them.

After the show ended, we went to the after party and DJ immediately pulled me to the bar. "I think you should go for Jimmy. He obviously likes you." She whispered in my ears and for a split second, a smile adorned my lips. But what DJ said did not get the best out of me. "What are you talking about? He is my boss." I hissed.

"Boss...boyfriend...however you want to look at it." DJ said and my cheeks flushed red. I shook my head and made my way to the drink table with a glass of Jack. Ever since DJ arrived, I had started consuming more of this heavenly drink. It has got to be her influence because drinking was not something I did often.

"Hey you," Zacky appeared and plopped down on the chair next to me. I sat up straight and shot him a faint smile, "You guys put on a great show up there." I said and took a sip of my drink. "Thanks, Nancy. I'm glad you enjoyed it." He said.

"So how's it going with DJ? Are you two getting along?" He asked amused. To be honest, her company wasn't that bad as I had expected. And she even did her job properly. I think we're doing just fine. DJ is adventurous and I can tell that 'cause she's always asking me to join her in her crazy adventures at times.

"She cannot be tamed at times," I blurted out, making Zacky let out a laugh. "Yeah. Other than that, I think we're doing okay. I mean she's good at her job and that's what really matters." I said before finishing my drink. "Whoa, someone drinks like a pro." Zacky said and rubbed my back as I let out a cough. Seriously, I should definitely get used to this burning sensation in my throat.

"So where is our next destination?" I asked, regaining my posture. "I'm not sure, Texas probably." Zacky said. We talked for a while and I must say, Zacky is a great company. He's funny and cheerful, and not so cocky like some other people around here. Out of the blue, music blasted from somewhere and almost everyone got up to dance. "Will you, my lady, like to have a dance with me?" Zacky approached me, offering his hand.

I laughed at his accent and thought he was just joking. But my laughter died when I saw his hand still out in front of me. "Oh...I-I don't dance, Zacky." I said and shook my head sideways when I realized he was being serious. "Oh come on, who ever said that I can dance? We just have to move our body, ain't I right?" He said and before I could protest, Zacky had already pulled me onto the dance floor.

"I swear we look so odd right now," I muttered when I realized we were the only ones standing like fucking poles in the middle of the dance floor. "Then how about we get rid of this odd look?" He said and put his hands on my waist. I widened my eyes at his touch and he seemed to notice it. "Are you okay?" He asked and I blinked a couple of times. "I'm not very good at this." I said and he started to move us. "See, this isn't so bad." He said and he wasn't even lying.

This did feel good, especially after the long and tiring day that I had. Soon, he was cracking jokes and making me unable to control my laugh. How come we never hung out before, I thought to myself. "Turn," He said smiling before taking my hand in his and trying to twirl me around. I did the twirl before coming back straight into his hold. "You surely know how to dance," he said, making me blush at the compliment.

A little later, I excused myself and went to the ladies' room. My face was literally hurting from laughing at all the jokes Zacky had been cracking. I just have to be a little careful around the drinks. I can't afford to get drunk and let myself go though shit again. The moment I stepped outside, a hand covered my mouth and I felt someone drag me to the corner. Was I getting kidnapped?!

"Relax, it's just me." A familiar voice whispered in my ear and as I saw the person's face, the fear vanished away from my face. "What are you doing here?" I hissed at Jimmy for almost giving me heart attack. He quickly blabbered something about a secret mission and brushed a lock of hair behind my ear. His touch made me anxious, my skin heated up and I felt goosebumps on my skin.

"I need to find DJ. She was supposed to stay with me and she just got up and disappeared." I said, pushing him away from me. I just got this feeling whenever he was around me, a very unknown fluttery feeling. "Then let's go find her," He said, taking my hand on his. Suddenly, Jimmy let out a gasp and looked at me with wide eyes. "Did you feel that?" He whispered and I opened my mouth to say something but it wasn't my voice that spoke next.

"And where are you two love birds off to?" Jason's voice made me snap out of my thoughts. He and his brother Matt, made their way to us and I slowly pulled away from Jimmy's grip. Oh god, don't let them start talking shit about me and Jimmy again.

"L-Love birds? Where?!" Jimmy shrieked, looking around frantically. "Cute game, Jimbo. But did you see our sister?" MB asked in a serious tone. "Dani Berry?" Jimmy asked making the twins roll their eyes. "Yeah, the last time we checked she was still very much our sister." MB said in an obvious tone.

"She was getting a drink at the party a while ago," I answered and Jason shot me a grin. "And what were you two doing here, near the restroom?" He asked and wiggled his eyebrows. I was sure by this point that my face had turned fifty shades of red. "Jay, will you stop with the joking? We have a sister to look for!" MB snapped and Jason flipped him off. "So you two haven't seen DJ?" Jason asked us again with a frown this time. "Nanny just said she was at the party, you doofus." Jimmy said and I shut my eyes at the nickname. I might just have to get used to this.

"Alright, thanks Nanny." Jason smirked before he and Matt walked away towards the party once again. "So..." Jimmy started and I looked at him. "I gotta find_"

"Let the twins look for Dani while you have a nice time at the party. Does that sound good?" He asked with a smile. "I-I don't know, Jimmy. My feet are kinda hurting from dancing with Zacky, so..." I trailed off. I just had this fear that if I stay in the party for too long, something will happen, something bad. "Oh, we can just sit down you know. And maybe, talk." He said hesitatingly. Talking didn't sound bad but what was I supposed to talk about with my boss?

"Or do you wanna go back and talk inside the party? Or we could go back to the hotel too!" Jimmy said rapidly and I shook my head. I'm pretty sure if we go back to the party, I'd have to see that only unwanted face. "Outside sounds good," I suggested and we walked out of the building.

"So, how was your day? Anything exciting at work?" Jimmy asked as we sat down on an old bench nearby. At the mention of work, my face lit up like the fourth of July. "That's awesome." Jimmy said when I had finished telling him how much profit we had made tonight. Silence greeted us and I realized he was looking at me. His gaze made me squirm in my seat and he still wasn't saying anything. Maybe he wanted me to talk now?

"Uh, did you have fun playing the drums tonight?" I asked, breaking the awkward silence. Fuck, that is such a lame question! "Of course. But you know what was the best part during the concert?" He said rapidly, making me smile at his adorable lisp. Damn it, Nancy, he's your boss!

"What?" I asked and he looked down at his fingers. "It was...it was when I saw you beside the stage watching us play....I mean, when I saw you and Dani..." he answered and once again, goosebumps appeared on my skin. "W-what?" I asked, not believing my ears.

"What's wrong?" He asked in worry. "What did you just say?" I asked and he shrugged. "I said 'what's wrong'...?" He said in confusion and gave me an innocent look which immediately made the frown vanish away from my face.

"Do you have any plans after the tour ends?" He asked, fixing his bangs a little. "Jimmy, you guys just started the tour weeks ago. How am I supposed to know what my plans are gonna be a year later?" I asked, obviously amused by his question. "You're so smart," he said, taking me by surprise when he ruffled my hair. I gasped, making him widen his eyes. "I think I just ruined your hair," he said, not pleased with it. "It's fine, Jimmy." I said and let out a laugh as I tried to fix my hair.

"Um, Nancy look. It's been-" Jimmy paused and licked his lips. I looked at him incredulously, what was he gonna say? "I don't know you," he said and I looked at him in confusion. He didn't know me?? "You don't?" I asked, blinking my eyes. "No. I mean I do. But just a little. I wanna know more about you. You know, a boss should know stuff about his employee, shouldn't he?" He said, hesitantly.

It surely didn't seem like a bad idea, so why not? And besides, it's been ages since I properly had a conversation with someone. "Okay, boss." I said with a smile and he shook his head vehemently. "No, no, no! Call me Jimmy. I mean, that's my name so call me that and not boss." He said looking shocked and I chuckled at his reaction.

We talked so much that it felt that we've known each other since god knows when. He told me about Avenged when they had just formed it and their first actual concert. "I mean, I was so sure that I wouldn't get stage fright. But then I saw this huge crowd, all wanting us to play and they were all cheering. And suddenly the thought of fucking up hit my mind and everything turned white for a while."

"But you could play, right?" I asked. He nodded, "Yeah, but you know, that feeling was so fucking scary." I shot him a smile, making him wiggle his eyebrows at me. I chuckled at the sight before catching him looking at me. "Let's talk about you now." He said, pointing his index finger at me and I raised an eyebrow, "Me?"

"Hey, I talked about myself. It's only fair if you did the same." He said, poking a finger on my arm. "Fair enough, what do you wanna know?" I asked, loosening myself a little. "Were you always this shy and beautiful?" He blurted out and I blinked at him. Why was he asking this question? I mean...

I decided to change the topic and spoke about my first day at work with them. "Let me tell you about the time when I first saw you guys when I started working for you." I said, remembering what had happened that day. "Sure," he said smiling. I was halfway through the story when he interrupted me. "So first you saw Zacky and then Short Shit-" I looked at him in confusion when he said that. "Johnny's Short Shit." He said and I nodded. "And then you saw Matt. Where's me? And my friend, Haner?" He asked.

I bit my lip at the mention of Brian, not wanting to picture his goddamn face. "I forgot what happened when I saw him," I said, not wanting to ruin the good time we were having. "Too bad for him. What about me? Do you remember that?" He asked excitedly. I nodded, making his smile grow wider. "I was talking with Matt when out of the blue, you appeared. You sneaked up behind Johnny and poured a bottle of water on his head." I said, picturing the scene in my mind.

"I think I remember that," Jimmy said with a grin and I chuckled at hi reaction. Poor Johnny. We were both laughing so hard by this point that I didn't realize when he had rested his head on my shoulder until we were gasping for air. It got quiet for a moment and only the faint sound of music reached our ears.

I could feel his breath on my shoulder and that simple action caused shivers to run down my spine. We stayed like that for a while; I don't know why I couldn't push him away, it just felt so...good. Jimmy slowly lifted his head off my shoulder and looked at me. Our faces were so close to each other that I could feel his mint scented breath on mine. "Nancy..." he whispered before I felt him take a hold of my hand. I stared into his crystal blue eyes while my throat became dry totally. Was this really happening, I thought to myself as he leaned forward.

I should pull away, shouldn't I?! I mean, he's my boss and I just can't do this again. But I couldn't stop myself or him, as a matter of fact. Within seconds, I felt the tip of his nose touch mine and I closed my eyes instinctively. Only the sound of us breathing reached my ears and the sensation of his skin touching mine-

"I found her! Zack!" A loud voice made me snap my eyes open and Jimmy pulled away from me immediately. I sat up straight and tried to fix my dress as Jimmy did the same, sitting just a hand away from me. God, what would have happened if no one had interrupted us? Was he really gonna....fuck, I should stop thinking so much!

My cheeks were flushed and my body emanated heat when I saw DJ stumble towards us with Zacky hot on her heels. He caught DJ as she tried to walk straight but failed miserably. Oh god, I left her alone for a while and she got drunk? What am I gonna do with this girl?!

"We gotta get back to the hotel, guys. She's so fucking wasted." Zacky laughed as DJ leaned onto him for support. "DJ, don't do that! If your brothers see us like this, they're gonna think something else." He said but held her up straight anyways. "And Nancy, why did you leave me alone on the dance floor? I was waiting for you," Zacky said and pouted slightly at me. "I-I..." I stuttered and looked at Jimmy.

"Nanny!" DJ slurred before coming out of Zacky's grip and sitting beside me. She threw her arms sloppily around my neck, putting me in an uncomfortable situation. "Just look at her, she likes you Nancy." Zacky said, grinning like an idiot. "Why won't Dani Berry like Nancy? Everybody likes her." Jimmy said, acting totally cool and Zacky said something which I couldn't make out. Little did Jimmy know, that not everybody here liked me.
