Girl I Know

I stood there having a good stare down with Brian, he looked at me apologetically, “So we are getting kicked out?” I asked confused.

“Yeah,” he said sighing and rubbed the back of his neck.

I stared at the fence sighing out in frustration as Jimmy hugged Savannah and I to his side. I felt my anxiety amp up like it hasn’t in about 3 years…really since Savannah and I moved out here. I was usually one to roll with the punches, but when it came to shit like this, well I wasn’t the smoothest person.

“When do we have to be out?” Savannah asked quietly and I could hear the disdain in her voice. Jimmy heard it too and hugged us as tight as he could to his chest and kissed the top of our heads.

“This weekend,” Brian said not letting his eyes drift from us. Matt and Zacky stood back, trying to gauge what our actions would be.

“Van, we need to go apartment shopping tonight and tomorrow, look online tonight and look at them in person tomorrow,” I said and swiped at my eyes then ducked under Jimmy’s arm and went inside grabbing another beer. I walked into the living room and sat on the couch, leaning back staring up at the off white ceiling before opening my beer and drinking half of the bottle in one swig.

“Hey, you okay?” Zacky asked as he came and sat next to me. I looked over at him and belched in response. He chuckled, “That’s sexy.”

I gave him a half laugh, more of a scoff, “I’m alright, just stressed. I didn’t think savannah and I were trash to Casey. I honestly thought that we were friends.”

“From the sounds of it you guys are, her brother’s the one calling the shots,” Zacky said softly as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders and pulled me to him so that my head was leaning on the apex of his shoulder and chest.

“I honestly doubt that it was all Eric. I think it was Casey and his showing up just gave her the leverage she needed. Gave her a scapegoat,” I chugged the rest of my bottle and held it between my hands.

“You know that you girls can move in with us…or rather one of us,” Zacky said as he rubbed my shoulder.
I nodded, “I know, but to be honest we haven’t known you guys that long, it’s not right of us to impose on you guys like that.”

He laughed and shrugged, “Y’all are usually around us anyways.”

I couldn’t help but chuckle a little, “You’ve proven that, you just said y’all.”

“I did not,” He sat there with his mouth open.

“You so did Bright Eyes,” I teased him and looked up in his green eyes.

He searched my brown eyes and slowly leaned down and kissed my lips. I returned the kiss and slowly twisted in his arms so that I was somewhat on top of him, kissing him more passionately than we have ever shared. I sat the bottle down on an end table and straddled his lap, his hands holding the back of my neck and my waist while mine went to his hair and the back of his neck. As we made out I gently grinded against him.

He moaned softly as we felt someone sink onto the couch next to us. Zacky groaned as we pulled our lips away from one another but pressed our foreheads together before opening our eyes. I smiled and looked over to see Jimmy sitting there staring at us.

“That’s kind of hot to watch,” He admitted grinning widely.

I laughed and moved off of Zacky’s lap only to be pulled back down. I felt his erection press into my thigh and I giggled kissing his forehead, “Sorry Bright Eyes.”

Zacky nodded and buried his face into my neck. “So are you guys officially dating?” Jimmy asked curiously.

I shrugged and asked Zacky, “Are we officially dating?”

He looked up in my eyes, “Do you want to?”

A smile twitched at my mouth as I wrapped an arm around his neck, “Only if you want to be.”

He smiled and looked back at Jimmy, “Yeah, we’re officially dating.”

“Exclusively?” Jimmy pressed, narrowing his eyes at both of us as he put his hand up to his chin like he was in deep thought.

We both laughed, “YES, exclusively, Jimmy.” I giggled and reached out stroking his cheek.

He smiled majorly and tackled us onto the couch, “YAY!” We ended up laughing at Jimmy’s antics that I’d grown accustomed to these past couple of weeks. “So you’re not getting an apartment. You’re moving in with Zacky.” Jimmy stated matter-of-factly.

I felt the panic hit my gut again, the last time I’d lived with a guy in the house…my father at that…things had not gone well. I have more scars that aren’t visible than what are. “Umm, I don’t know.”

“Jimmy, they don’t have to live with one of us if they don’t want to,” Zacky said rubbing the back of my neck feeling me tense up.

I nodded, “I think Savannah and I should really have our own place for awhile. Atleast until we get to know you guys better.”

“You do realize you guys spend most nights with us anyways right?” Jimmy asked childishly wanting his way.

I laughed, “I know Jimmy, Zacky pointed that out as well.”

“Good cuz it’s true,” Jimmy stated and then bounced around. “I’m gonna go see what’s taking so long on those god damned steaks. He should have been done by now.”

I laughed as he walked back out the door and I looked back at Zacky, “Thank-you.”

“For what?” He asked as he brushed my bangs out of my face then looked in my eyes.

“Sticking up for us, about the moving in thing,” I said and then dropped my gaze.

He gently lifted my chin up so that I was looking into his eyes, “Hey, don’t ever feel like I’m going to pressure you into something that I know you don’t want to do. You have a right to not want to move in with a fucker you just met,” He smiled then added, “and just started dating.”

I laughed, “He kinda forced that answer out of us, didn’t he?”

“That’s Jimmy for you,” He smiled and shook his head. “You don’t have any regrets though right? Like you haven’t changed your mind already have you?”

I decided to tease him and pretended to think about this for a moment until I saw terror in his eyes, “Just kidding. Of course I don’t regret my answer or want to terminate our relationship already.” I laughed as he kissed me hard but was smiling into it.

I gently bit his lower lip and tugged pulling slightly on his snakebites making him let out a hearty growl. I pulled away and smirked at him, “Although, maybe spending one night a week in your bed…”

He feigned disappointment and shock, “Only one night!”

I laughed, “One to start out with, maybe 2 or 3 with you in my bed…then maybe we can up it to 3 nights at your house, 4 at mine…” I gently kissed his jawline.

That earned me a growl, “I told you what’ll happen if you keep doing that.”

I winked at him, “Maybe tonight in your bed.”

He bit his lip and nodded before pecking my lips, “Deal.”

Right then Jimmy burst back through the door with the others behind him, “Hurry the fuck up Gates! The NinjaMaster is HUNGRY!”

Everyone laughed and Brian shook his head, “Alright Jimmy.” Jimmy took his steak, no one having thought of side dishes but figured that we’d end up ordering a pizza later or going out to eat or something.

“Are we drinking tonight?” I asked no one in particular.

“Fuck YES,” Savannah said from Matt’s side.

Matt looked at her astonished, “I think that’s the first time I’ve heard you say fuck, Savannah.”

She giggled, “Get used to it…” She leaned in and I swore that I heard her call him daddy softly. Well whatever she whispered in his ear, I saw his eyes go dark and he bit his lip.

I smirked and shook my head as Zacky hugged me to him, “What are you smirking at?”

I nodded towards Matt and Savannah, “Think she just called him daddy.” I felt his dick twitch and looked at him, “Don’t tell me you have a daddy kink too?”

He blushed slightly, “That totally gross you out?”

I laughed and shook my head, “Nah. You wouldn’t believe how many guys actually like being called Daddy in bed.”

He smiled and kissed my cheek, “Let’s go eat.”

As we ate, Savannah and I sat next to each other talking mostly between the two of us, but of course the guys surrounded us interjecting ideas. “I think we need at least a 2 bedroom with a loft,” She stated taking a bite.

I nodded, “Well, we could probably get a one bedroom with a loft and be just as comfortable.”

She thought about it for a second before Jimmy interrupted, his mouth filled with steak, “What if I want to come sleep over?!”

I laughed, “Guess you’d need somewhere to sleep, wouldn’t you Sweetheart?” He nodded enthusiastically as everyone laughed, “Alright, Two bedrooms and a loft.”

She smiled and winked at Jimmy for giving her, her way, “We can keep an air mattress up there and use it for extra storage.”

I sighed, “What are we gonna do for furniture though Vannie. All the furniture at her house is well hers.”

She thought for a moment and sighed, “Well, let’s make a list of everything that we’ll need.” She sat her empty plate on the coffee table and looked at Brian, “Do you have paper and a pen?”

Matt scoffed, “We’re in a band babe. Of course Gates has paper and a pen.”

Brian blushed and looked at everyone, “Actually…”

Matt and Zacky looked at him with their mouths gaping open, “How do you NOT have paper and pens?”

He shrugged, “I usually just remember what I come up with, I don’t usually write lyrics with my guitar parts unless we’re in the studio.”

I smiled and patted his knee, “No worries. Atleast you don’t have like 20 notebooks laying around and can never find them.”

He raised an eyebrow at me, “Why would you have 20 notebooks laying around?”

“Tennessee writes poetry and lyrics,” Savannah answered for me and I blushed.

“Really? Can I read some sometime?” Zacky asked as he sat his plate down on top of Savannah’s.

I nodded blushing as Jimmy came running downstairs with a notebook and a pen, “Got it!”

He was so stealthy we hadn’t even noticed him go up the stairs. “For being so tall you’re stealthy as fuck,” Johnny commented to him as he belched.

“Well atleast it’s better than being a gassy midget,” Jimmy threw back at him.

Johnny laughed, “Very true my man.” They high fived after their little joking match.

Jimmy handed the black leather notebook that almost looked like a journal to Savannah and she opened to a blank page, “May I tear this page out?”

Jimmy shrugged at her, “As long as there aren’t any lyrics or stuff written on either side, then sure.”

She smiled and kissed his cheek before pulling out the blank piece of paper, “Alright so we need 2 beds…”

I sighed and ran a hand through my hair as Matt piped up, “You’ll need atleast 2 dressers if not more.” She stuck her tongue out at him and he nipped at it playfully.

“Oooh, don’t forget TV’s and game consoles,” Johnny stated grinning ear to ear.

“Why so you fuckers can come over and take over our livingroom?” I joked with them.

“Yup,” Matt grinned cheekily.

“Careful though, your boyfriend may play while you suck his dick,” Brian told me and Savannah obviously referring to both Zacky and Matt who flipped him off.

“As hot as that would be, if I’m with her I’d rather be in her bed replicating the favor,” Zacky winked at me and I laughed kissing his jawline feeling him tense up and subtly growl.

“Don’t forget extra storage containers, you never know with apartments. They can be pretty fucking sketchy,” Jimmy stated. “I want to come look at it with you.”

I laughed as ALL the guys nodded wanting to see the new apartment we were going to be getting. “Alright, I suppose we could work that out. But Savannah and I get the final say.”

They all nodded at us and we continued making our list. Before we knew it, it was half past nine and we decided to go get some food before going out drinking. “Maybe we should go to Pete’s, see if Jason’s working and if he wants to go drink with us?” Savannah said as she cuddled up to Matt.

“Yeah, that sounds like a good plan,” I stated.

Apparently all the guys thought differently, “Uhh, well we kind of got kicked out of that place.”

My eyes went wide, “How the fuck did you guys manage to get kicked out of that place?”

“Well…” Matt said blushing.

“They’re really fucking stuck up,” Johnny started.

“And of course you know Jimmy,” Brian said with affection towards his best friend.

“And of course you know Johnny, and how he eggs shit on and you know Brian how he provokes sarcasm,” Zacky smiled innocently.

“Oh good god, what did y’all do?” Savannah asked laughing.

“They got pissed because I ran through their restaurant area nude for 20 bucks and a free drink,” Jimmy laughed like a maniac. “It was great.”

I couldn’t help but throw my head back and laugh, “Well that’d do it.”

Savannah laughed and shook her head, “Brian wherever we go, no dares.”

Brian gave her the puppy dog face, “But..but…”

“No buts,” I smiled at him. “Especially no nude ones,” I looked over at Jimmy. For whatever reason I looked down and realized that I didn’t have clean clothes and neither did Savannah.

Zacky noticed my mood change and tilted his head looking at me, “Whatcha thinking about?”

“Savannah and I don’t have clothes,” I stood up, “And I need a shower if we’re going out tonight.”

Brian nodded, “Well…give me one of your keys to the house, Matt, Zacky, and I will go get clothes and Johnny and Jimmy will stay here and order pizza for everyone and we’ll grab beer on our way back.”

Savannah blushed, “I’d rather you NOT go through my underwear drawer.”

Matt kissed her forehead, “I won’t let him. He’s just going to be there because he’s Casey’s boyfriend and if Eric’s there he’ll atleast recognize Brian. So he knows that we’re not stealing shit.”

I nodded, “It’ll be alright Savannah, I promise.” I looked at Zacky, “Pick out something cute, or actually…You mind just grabbing all my clothes?”

Zacky raised an eyebrow, “Like ALL of it?”

Savannah laughed at me, “Tenney, you have a shit ton of clothes. He’s not grabbing all of your clothes. They’ll throw enough clothes for both of us in a bag, but you boys better pick out some cute shit. None of this lame ass shit.”

I sighed, “Yeah that’ll work. I just really don’t want to go back there. But if you grab enough to get us through a couple days that’d be awesome.”

Zacky nodded and kissed my forehead, “Alright no problem. You girls go shower and we’ll be back soon.”

Brian looked between me and Savannah, “Well these fuckers don’t have ANY fashion sense so I’ll have to put together your guys’ outfits.” This caused Matt and Zacky to both scoff.

“I have my own clothing line you fucker,” Zacky stated and my eyes apparently reflected shock.

“You do?” I asked not fully believing it.

“Yeah, it’s kind of a hobby of mine,” Zacky shrugged and stood up. “You’re still coming to my house tonight right?”

I nodded at him, “Yeah after we go to the bar.”

“Alright then we’ll pack 2 bags, one for Savannah and one for you, we’ll take your bag with us tonight to my house,” Zacky smiled at me.

Brian looked at Matt and Savannah, “Where are you guys staying tonight? You staying here or staying at Matt’s?”

Savannah blushed and looked nervous and I saw Matt notice, “We’ll probably crash here with you fuckers if that’s cool?”

Jimmy damn near jumped out of his skin, “Another slumber party with my Southern Vannie Belle!” I saw Savannah laugh and relax a bit and I released the breath I didn’t know I had been holding. I hadn’t even thought about how she’d feel if I went home with Zacky and left her with the guys alone. However, I didn’t have any doubts that she’d be alright with Jimmy here playing big brother.

I kissed Zacky on the lips before he hugged me to him, “Make sure you get something cute…I wanna look good for you tonight…and make sure there’s something I can wear under it to tease you with later.”

“Fuck,” Zacky murmured out and bit my shoulder gently. “I’m gonna definitely need your special attention tonight if you’re ready to take that step.”

I winked at him, “Oh trust me Bright Eyes, I was ready to rock your world that first night I was grinding and dry humping you.”

He repressed a moan and I felt his dick twitch against me through his pants and I kissed his neck right below his ear. “I’ll see you when you get back.”

He nodded and pecked my lips, “Laters baby.” I couldn’t help but smile at him and his dorkiness.

Savannah and I joined arms going up to the bathrooms, “I can use Brian’s if you wanna use the guest one,” I offered.

“Yeah, that’d be cool,” She smiled at me and then grabbed a towel out of the linen closet next to the guest bathroom.

“He’s very domesticated for a bachelor,” I said surprised in my observation.

She laughed, “Ex bachelor. He’s dating Casey as of last night. But, yeah I agree with you. I wouldn’t usually peg him to be the domesticated one.”

I nodded and smiled looking at her, “So you’re dating Matt now?”

She blushed and looked at me, “Yeah.”

“And you call him Daddy?” I teased her.

She blushed and her eyes went wide in horror, “You heard me call him that?!”

I laughed at her reaction, “Yeah, but no worries. Secret’s safe with me. Zacky has that kink too.”

“Wait,” she looked at me suspiciously, “Are you?” she grinned widely.

“Am I what?” I smiled innocently back at her as I grabbed a towel from the closet.

“You’re dating Zacky aren’t you,” she laughed as we closed the closet door.

“Yeah, Jimmy asked if we were dating today and Zacky told him yes, after we sat there and asked each other back and forth for like 10 minutes,” I laughed knowing there was a twinkle in my eyes. God I loved how he made me feel. “He calmed me down from an anxiety attack.”

“That’s amazing,” she commended his actions. “Usually I’m the only one that can do that. You haven’t had one of those in a long ass fucking time.”

I nodded, “I know, but with all the shit going on…”

She sighed, “I know, but let’s go out, get shitfaced with these guys and just have a good night. Tomorrow we’ll look at apartments and find our new home. We have enough set back between the two of us that we can get the deposit and first months rent paid. Then we can go shopping tomorrow afternoon for the essentials.”

I hugged Savannah close to me, “This is why you are and will always be my best friend.”

She hugged me back stroking my hair with her free hand, “Go shower and then we’ll get ready to go out when the boys get back.” With that we set off to our designated bathrooms to shower for the first time in what felt like days.
