DECEMBER 11, 2009, Zacky's Birthday

Zacky glared at Marley as she revealed the contents of her mystery box to him. "I told you that I didn't want a fuss, Marls." He groaned, earning a shrug from Marley, who then shared a mischievous grin with the rest of the girls.

"Yeah, well babe, we disagreed." She replied and Zacky sighed before he looked down at the box again. "I can't believe that you actually made this." He stated, staring at the cake in disbelief. It was an exact replica of his red guitar. An edible replica, of course.

"Don't underestimate my baking expertise, Vengeance." Marley warned jokingly. "Besides, baking with Kay and Hilary is always an...interesting experience." Zacky laughed while Marley's friends glared at her for the comment. "That is just rude." Hilary said, crossing her arms but Zacky decided to cut off any impending argument.

"So what other hell torment have you girls planned for my birthday?" He asked, making Gena grin. "Actually, the only other thing that we have planned is you, me and dinner." Zacky's face transformed into the happiest face on earth as he beamed at his girlfriend. They linked hands and headed out of the front door.

Val dived for the back door as soon as she heard the front door shut. "Get a fucking move on! They're gone!" She hissed, letting the rest of the guys drag in a bunch of party decorations and several beer kegs.

So maybe they lied to Zacky.....just a little bit.


"SURPRISE!!"

Zacky turned to glare at Gena. "I hate you." He grumbled. She grinned in reply and kissed him. "Stop being a grumpy old man and join the party." She replied, pulling him into the room.

Marley looked round her band mates that were up on stage with her, checking to see if they were ready. They all nodded at her and began the first song of the night. As Marley and her band mates performed a cover of Framing Hanley's Lollipop, she saw Gena dragging a still slightly grumpy Zacky onto the makeshift dance floor.

Zacky laughed as he realized what song they were playing and began to dance with Gena. It didn't take long for the rest of the guest to join them. As the song finished, Marley took a large swig of her beer as she was already enjoying herself.

She left the stage to grab more drinks, leaving her bandmates to carry on doing their thing without her for a couple of songs. She weaved her way through the crowd; there weren't many people but her living room wasn't massive and the improvised stage took up quite a bit of room, so everyone was a little cramped. People didn't seem to be bothered by it though.

Eventually, Marley made it to the drinks table. She noticed that Brian was stood to one side, nursing a Alberta Premium as he watched everyone move to the Papa Roach cover that the guys were currently playing. She walked over to him, curious.

"What's up Gates?" Brian looked at Marley as if she had grown two heads. Marley sighed, "You're not dancing like everyone else is." He shrugged and took another swig of his drink. "I feel like the spare part." He replied, his eyes still on the guys who were in the centre of the dance floor with their better halves.

"You've never had trouble pulling a dance partner before. I've heard some of your tour stories you know." Marley said and Brian finally looked at her. She couldn't figure what what his eyes were depicting but it was something like regret. Was he regretting leaving Michelle - she pondered.

"There's no girl out there that I want to dance with." He said, boring a nonchalant look and Marley shot him a disbelieving stare. That was Synyster Fucking Gates she was talking to, wasn't she?

"Tough." She grabbed his hand and pulled him out onto the dance floor. "But you aren't going to be miserable for my Zacky's birthday." He didn't resist as she led him further into the crowd where the rest of the guys were. Matt raised his eyebrows at his sister briefly as they passed him, but quickly turned his attention back to Val.

Marley began to dance, enjoying the rhythm of the music. Brian's hands caught her hips, pulling her close against him. She was surprised, but that was the whole reason why she'd brought him out there, so she let him move both of them to the beat. Marley loved the way that she seemed to fit into his arms so well. The way his body moved in perfect sync with her own.

She leaned back against him, closing her eyes as she danced. His hands moved from her hips to her waist, Marley couldn't even hope to control her racing heartbeat. She knew that she should get back to the guys but she was having one of the best moments of her life. With Brian.

Her bandmates then started to play Marley's favorite Aerosmith song, Same old song and dance. Marley laughed and let Brian tug her in a bit closer as he wiggled his eyebrows at her. One more song wouldn't do much harm, would it?

Brian's pulse quickened as he pulled her in closer. He loved dancing with her. Sure, other girls were great dancers too, but no one could be compared to Marley Denise. She fitted in his arms perfectly, and Brian knew that it wouldn't last long. So he held her as close as he could, without it crossing a line.

She leant back against him and he slowly moved his hands up to circle her waist, fighting the urge to kiss her. The song changed to one of her favorites, her eyes opened and she laughed, upping the tempo of her movements. Brian drew her in even closer and she didn't resist. But the song was over all too soon and she pulled away.

"Now that you're having fun, I shall leave you to continue." She grinned but Brian darted forward, taking her hand. "Wait. One more dance?" She paused. "C'mon, the guys aren't going to dehydrate." Brian joked and Marley smiled before walking back to him.

Brian grinned with delight. Surely it was time for Marley's bandmates to play a slow song. As if they'd read his mind, they began to play a slower song that Brian didn't recognize. It was probably one of their own. Marley hesitated slightly, looking unsure. Brian stepped forward, slipping his muscular tattooed arms around her waist again.

Slowly, Marley wrapped her arms around his neck. Brian could feel his heart rate increase as they both moved closer. She rested her head on his shoulder and sighed, still swaying in time with the rhythm with Brian. Her breath tickled the side of his neck, making him shudder slightly.

Without hesitating, Brian leaned into her and rested his forehead against the top of her head. The smell of her shampoo and perfume surrounded him; cinnamon and white rose with a hint of vanilla. Brian loved it.

For a while, he lost himself in that moment with Marley. He even managed to almost convince himself that she was actually his, and that she wouldn't care if he kissed her.

But then the song ended and Marley straightened up, stepping out of Brian's arms. What an ungodly timing - Brian thought. He forced himself to smile at her and she smiled back. "Thank you, De- Marley." She laughed slightly at his words.

"You're welcome, and I think I'm used to you calling me Denise now. But only you. Now continue having fun and don't make me get back out here." She threatened, waving a finger at Brian as she headed to grab drinks for the guys and return to the stage.

Brian watched her go, watching the sway of her hips, knowing that if he didn't do something soon, any chance that he may have with her might be gone. Again. And he didn't want that.

Thanks for posting! Man, I hope they figure it out soon!
Unfortunately the site's been like this for a long time now, and the exact same thing is happening to Mibba. The good thing is, it doesn't seem to be getting worse, but also not better. So yeah, the only way to find stories is to search for them or get updates. There's a new site that was started by Ramona: http://www.a7xfanfic.com/index.php
