Brian's POV
3 days later...

The last couple of days I’ve been thinking, I just came out of a relationship and I didn’t know if I was ready for a new one. My ex-girlfriend Cynthia was really unfair to me and she really broke my heart. I thought that she was the one, and then she cheated on me and used me for my money. I can’t believe that I dated her for a year. But Amy wasn’t like Cynthia at all; at least she didn’t act like her. She was kind and she wasn’t selfish, that was what I thought about Cynthia at first. But it was something else about Amy, and I didn’t really understand what I liked about her. Except that the little I saw of her was beautiful and she was really kind to me, she made me feel special and she was honest to me despite that we only had talked for an hour or so. But it was something else, and I wanted to know what that was, and that’s why I took her number, to get to know her better. So I decided that I would call her and ask if she wanted to grab a coffee or something. I hesitated. What if she knows who I am, maybe she hated metal music and tattoos. It was really dark outside when I met her a few days ago. Maybe she gave me the wrong number! I shouldn't be hesitating, I'm Synyster fucking Gates! Yet my palms went sweaty when the tones started in my phone…

"Hey, it's Amy, who is this?" she answered.

"Oh hi, it's Brian, from Saturday, do you remember me?" I asked.

"Of course I remember you, what’s up?"

"Well, I was wondering if you would like to go and grab a coffee with me." I asked nervously.

"Sure, I would love that, what time?"

"Does three sound good to you?"

"That sounds awesome Brian, I'll see you then." She answered and gave me her address.

“I’ll pick you up at three.” I said and hung up.

That went well, better than I could ever hope for. I had one and a half hour to shower, get dressed and fix my makeup and hair. Unfortunately my hair wouldn't cooperate with me at the first try today; I tried a hundred times before it looked okay. The problem is that I didn't want it to be just okay, I wanted it to be perfect. I really got frustrated so I washed my hair one more time. That was needed because after that I got my hair as I wanted. I put on some eyeliner and cologne, now I was ready to leave...

It was about half an hour left until I was supposed to pick up Amy. I didn’t want to be that early so I decided to settle my nerves by playing some riffs on my guitar before I left. But I didn’t play some hard ones, that would make me sweat, and that was the last thing I wanted to. So I just sat and played some small things till it was time to leave. I went to my car, buckled up and asked myself: "How wrong could this day go?"

Amy's POV
Brian’s car appeared at my driveway, he was five minutes early and I wasn’t done with everything yet. My favorite shoes, red Converse, were missing. So I started to run through the house just to find them in Rocky’s bed, why the heck did he always steel my shoes when I needed them the most? It felt like he knew what was happening and he wanted me for himself. I ran upstairs and put on a t-shirt. I chose a band t-shirt because it was stylish and discreet, plus that I didn’t have that much t-shirts, toady I choose an Avenged Sevenfold, red and black. It would match my Converse and black jeans. Luckily I did my hair an hour ago, I straightened it and put up my bangs in some hairpins and then I had a little make-up on, some eyeliner and mascara. And now I was ready to leave, and just to hear a knock on the door. My blood froze, I was getting really nervous. I didn't see Brian so clearly when I met him a few days ago, and I think he didn't see me so clear either. What if he didn't like me, maybe he just wanted to be nice just because I let him borrow my lighter. Oh so many stupid thoughts ran through my head. I didn't know what to do, what to say and how to act. But I did know that I had to open the door and let Brian into my house.

"Hey, Bri.." I couldn't say more. Now I saw him clearly, he is Brian Haner JR, Synyster Gates, lead guitarist in Avenged Sevenfold. My absolute favorite band in the entire world, and have been for as long as I can remember. I have had a crush on him since 2007! He is the greatest man alive, according to me then. Oh I felt so stupid that I chose my A7X t-shirt today, why this day of all the days? What would I say to him? He must have thought that I was stupid. I stood there with my mouth half open and just stared at him.

"Hi Amy, is something wrong? Can I come in?" He asked me.

If my thoughts was messy before they were crazy now. How the fuck did I end up taking a coffee with Brian Haner? Me of all the people in the world! Of course it was a dream comes true, but I never thought that it could really happen. He had everything that a guy should have. Especially the look, he was so handsome that any girl would want him.
"W-well yes, of-of course, come in." I said, "I just have to grab my sunglasses before we leave."
What was I supposed to do, Brian was my biggest idol. I picked up my Ray Ban’s from the bench and my thoughts were spinning. Then all of a sudden my phone rang, the most inappropriate time ever...

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost... That was all he could hear before I turned it off.

"Hum, ooh" Was all I could get out of my mouth. Brian just stood there and gazed at me. And I blushed... I had Seize the Day as my ringtone, a song that Brian and his band Avenged Sevenfold had done. I froze, again, wondering what he would say next. Maybe he didn’t want to go out with me because I am a fan of his band? Or he thinks that I am creepy and knew who he was before he came in to my house. It was just a coincidence that I chose the A7X t-shirt. I wasn’t a stalker, but how should he know that. But finally he broke the ice…

"I guess that you have noticed who I am, at least I don't have to worry about what music style you like, and nice t-shirt you got there." he said and smirked at me.

Brian led me to his car, which was really nice; it was a black BMW 320i. I’m a real sucker for BMW’s newest models, especially when I couldn’t afford them. I went inside and buckled up. We went to a café called “Little sea café”. It took about fifteen minutes to get there and we sat and small talked the entire ride. It was nice, because I hate awkward silences and Brian was really fun to talk with.

When we arrived to the café we instantly got a table near the window, so we had a nice view of the sea. I ordered a coffee with sugar and milk and Brian just wanted a black coffee.

"I guess that you know who I am by now, because you had my band’s song as a ringtone and you have an A7X t-shirt on you." Brian said and laughed.

"Well, yes I do know who you are, and I think that you are the most talented guitarist in the world!" I said and immediately regretted the last thing I said because it made me blush even more than before.

"That's really sweet of you, even if it’s not true; there are a lot of people that are greater guitarists than me. You are really nice to me, most of the girls just want to hook up with me to get famous or get laid. But you haven’t tried anything yet." He said. And he was honest to me, which surprised me.

"I would never do that. The little I have seen of you has been wonderful, and believe me when I say that you’re really talented with your guitar, even you can’t deny it and according to me, you are the best. And you are a really nice person Brian. I didn't even know that it was you when I met you the first time." I said and he smiled at me.

We sat and talked about everything, he told me about his ex-girlfriend Cynthia and how she broke his heart. I couldn’t say anything; I was in a total shock. I didn’t understand how anyone could do that to another person, especially when the person with the broken heart, in this case Brian, really loved Cynthia. And then it turned out that she was cheating on him and used him. But some people are just stupid. Then I told Brian about my life, about the whole “I don’t fit in” thing and why I left London for Long Beach. The conversation went really serious and despite that we had just met both were honest about our past and didn’t leave details out. It felt like this was the beginning to a really strong friendship.

After the coffee we went outside for a smoke; we both needed the after coffee smoke. And we stood face to face when we come out, Brian removed a strand of hair from my face and traced down my jaw with his hand. I started to blush; again, how many times could this man make me blush at one day? And then he kissed me. Wait what? Did it really happen or was I dreaming? Was Brian Haner really giving me a kiss or was it a dream? No this was definitely real; I felt a big spark exploding in my stomach and butterflies pumped of happiness. It felt so amazing and I didn’t want him to stop. But of course everything that is great has an ending. He just stood there and looked me in the eyes and I could see that his eyes were glowing, he looked happy.

“I’ve wanted to try that for a while now.” He said to me.

“I can’t say anything against that!” I told him and didn’t know what to say next. The first question was: Why the hell had Brian Haner just kissed me? I thought he wasn’t ready for a new relationship! But screw everything that has happened in the past, I am focusing on the future, and it seemed like he was going to be a part of it.

"I noticed you've got a tattoo on your arm, what does it say?" He asked me and I remembered my Avenged Sevenfold tattoo I got a couple of years ago.

"’Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost, I got it a couple of years ago.’" I answered him.

"Oh isn't that cute, I haven’t seen many with that kind of tattoo, placed on the arm. But I think it's really beautiful. It fits you perfectly. Why did you get it?"

"Thank you, I love it! Four years ago my dog died, his name was Boss and was like Rocky, a German Shepherd. He got run over by a truck when we were out for a walk. It was by a truck driver who was drunk. But let’s not talk about that. Do you have a lighter? I forgot mine at home."

"That’s really sad Amy. And yes, I do have one this time." He said and gave me another smirk.

We sat outside in silence while smoking. We had a beautiful view of the sea but I couldn't resist looking at him. He wore a tight white V-neck t-shirt and slim black jeans. He was gorgeous and really sexy, I couldn’t deny it. He trapped me looking at him and smirked at me, why did he always smirk at me? Did he know that it could make me melt? And for once I felt happy, like I found a missing part of my life. He was a really good friend, but how long will he go out with a girl like me, just an ordinary girl that works on a restaurant and barely could afford the rent and that only had a dog as a friend. He could get any women he wanted, so what did I mean to him?

"I would love to do this another time." He said pulling me out of my thoughts and shocked me. I wasn’t prepared that he would say that, "Not take a coffee, go out on a real restaurant. Would you like to go out on a date with me Amy? Because I would really like to know you better."

"Yes, I would really like that." I said it calmly, but my brain was screaming in happiness. I was so happy right now. It felt like I wanted to cry, laugh and scream at the same time.

“What do you say about next week?” He asked, “I can give you a call or vice versa if you want to.”

“Doesn’t matter for me, except that I am working really tough hours nowadays. The owner has fired a lot of people so I have to work extra hours.”

“Ah okay, and then give me a call when you can go out.” He said.

“Okay, sounds good to me.” I said.

After the smoke we went back to Brian's car. He gave me a ride home and followed me to my door. Before he left he gave me a fast kiss on my cheek and told me that I had to call him later this week so we could settle a date for our date.

I floated on pink clouds when I entered my house and when Brian had left; I danced around and sang for a while. Then I gave Rocky a big kiss and we went to the beach, as usual. I sat there for three hours. Rocky jumped, ran and was happy. And so was I. I had a date with the one and only Synyster Gates.

Brian's POV
She is nothing like Cynthia; she doesn’t care about herself at all. And that kiss, wow, I hadn’t felt that spark before, and I had kissed a lot of women, nothing I was proud of. And she is so beautiful, those blue eyes and her long curly brown hair. She was so perfect and I really wanted to see her again. But this time not to just chat, I was going to take her on a date. A real date. I wanted to call her, but it didn't feel right. Maybe she will think that I'm clingy or crazy. I didn't want to mess this up; she's the only girl that has treated me like any other human, not just a fucking rock star. Happily for me she loved Avenged Sevenfold, and she said that I'm talented. I felt that I began to blush. Luckily for me I no one was here and could see that. My brothers, or band members who were my brothers would have teased me for that. They didn’t think I would like a girl again after the thing with Cynthia, but guess what, Brian is back on track.

The sun was shining bright; I must have forgotten to pull down the blinds yesterday before I went to sleep. I looked at my alarm clock, the numbers shined brightly and I had to rub my eyes to see them clearly. It was around three in the afternoon, and it wasn’t usual for me, I used to get up early in the morning, well maybe not early. But earlier than three in the afternoon, most normal is around eleven-twelve I guess. I hadn't slept as well as I did tonight in years. And it felt really good, spending time with Amy was good for me, she made me smile and feel good about myself. I really wanted to meet her again, but I didn’t want to be to straightforward. But on the other hand didn’t I have something to do today, so I might as well look if she was on the beach and join her for a while. Just talking and hanging out.

It took about an hour for me to get ready. My hair wanted to cooperate with me today so it took just a couple of minutes until it was done; I chose a spiky style today, the most normal hairstyle I use nowadays. I went to my room and opened my drawer; I chose a white V-neck t-shirt and my black slim jeans. On top of that I had a black skin jacket, and then a pair of black and blue Nike shoes. It wasn’t cold outside, but the outfit looked much nicer with the jacket on top of it. I ended it with a spray of my cologne; it smelled like any usual cologne, but every girl I’ve met has liked it. And I hoped that Amy would do that too, that would plus the edge.

I walked out to my car and drove to my final destination: the beach, where I hoped to find Amy.

I parked my car farther away than necessary from the beach. Just to get some refreshing air and honestly I really needed to take a walk before meeting her, just to calm my nerves. What if she wasn't there, maybe she was at work. I need to stop stress about her. If she isn’t there, I’ll just have to drive home again and maybe text her and see if we can met up later. But to my relief I saw Rocky playing at the beach with a football and enjoyed life.

Amy sat on the spot where I met her the first time. I saw her mumbling and singing on some random lyrics, I couldn’t hear it clearly. She wore a navy blue hooded Sweatshirts and a pair of black jeans and had her hair in a ponytail, and still she looked stunning. She had her headphones and was listening to music, that’s why she was singing.
I walked to her and placed myself next to her. She looked at me and gave me a big smirk.

"Are you stalking me Brian Haner?" She said with some sarcasm in her voice.

"To be honest yes, but I couldn't stop thinking about yesterday and I really wanted to see you again." I said to her with some shame in my voice and she giggled.

"I can't stop thinking about yesterday either. That's why I'm here. This is kind of my thinking spot. I can sit here for hours every day and just listen to music. It’s stupid, I know."

"No it’s not stupid Amy, everyone needs a place where we can run to when we need to think. I need one of that spots, but haven’t found one yet. By the way what do you listen to?" I asked and raised an eyebrow.

"I have d-done a remix of you when you sing live." She said and blushed.

"Why have you done that? Matt is the one who sings! And my voice isn’t that good." I said and laughed.

Her face went redder than before and she said:
"I have always loved your voice to be honest, this remix is about three years old and I'm listening to it every day. I also have every solo that you have ever made, that your fans have heard that is, on my Iphone."
"Which solo are you favorite then? Pick two!" I said to her.
"Seize the day and Scream, and well, every solo you’ve ever done! It is hard to choose when you are as talented as you are but Seize the day and Scream are two of my absolute favorites." She said without doubt and smirked at me.

“Ha-ha, that’s cute Amy.” I said, ”Maybe I can show you some solos that the fans haven’t heard yet. I’ve got a couple of solos in store.”

“That would be really awesome Brian; it will be cool to hear some new things you have created.”

She was perfect. She made me smile, laugh and be happy. It is the same thing, but still not. It was something with Amy that made me like this, and I still didn’t know what. And I really wanted to know…

We sat on the beach for about two hours and talked. I met Rocky properly for the first time, and this time he didn’t try to attack me, he is the nicest dog I have ever met. Just a little overprotective around Amy, and he is very responsive and obedient. He is living because of her, he was a street dog four years ago, and she got him right after Boss death. She said to herself that she wasn’t going to obtain a new dog but then she found Rocky on the internet. Just a day before he would be put to sleep, No one wanted him because he looked shaggy. Yes shaggy, who judge a dog after its look? Anyway, he didn’t have anything wrong when he lived at the dog stables; he had just been there to long, so Amy decided to take him with her on her journey to find a new place to call home. I’m glad that Amy found him. The two of them are perfect for each other.

When we sat there in the sand and talked I became really attached to her, I noticed that we have a lot in common. It was everything from the cigarettes we smoke to the dogs we like. And then of course our music taste. We talked about nothing and everything and it felt so good. She was listening to everything I said and really cared about me, and we had known each other for a couple of days only. But after a while I started to get tired, I had been there for a lot of hours.

“Well, I should be going now, it’s starting to get late and I need to eat and sleep.” I said.

"What day should we go out and eat? You know the date you invited me to.” Amy asked before I got up on my feet and she blushed a little.

"How can I forget? I am free every day, we are having a pause on the tour and we won’t be back touring in 6 months." I said.

"Same here, with the first you said, I have vacation from work and will be back there in 5 weeks" she told me, “My boss finally let me go on vacation.”

"What do you say about Saturday?" I asked.

"Yes, that will be great. See you on Saturday then." She said before I went to my car.

I couldn’t believe that I was going to take her on a date. But when I did, it was going to be the most perfect date anyone would have seen. It would be flowers and lighted candles and things like that. I’m not a very romantic person, usually, but I would do anything for that girl. And I mean anything. She had changed me, I didn’t want do drink anymore, I just wanted to see her. I didn’t lay in bed and feel like everything was a living hell, I thought about her and felt happy again. My whole life had changed since she started to be a part of it. And I hoped that nothing would change that, because I really liked her a lot and I didn’t want to be the old me, I liked this new Brian more.

Amy's POV
A couple of days later…

I didn't see Brian as Synyster Gates anymore. He felt more like a good friend than a rock star. We barely talked about the band or how good he was on guitar, according to me then and I preferred it this way, I didn't want to be famous or anything of that. I really like Brian, he's a wonderful person and I wanted our, what we would call it, relation to stay as Amy and Brian, not Amy and Synyster Gates. Fame is the last thing I wanted. Sure it would be cool to date a rock star, isn’t that every girl’s dream nowadays? And especially since I have had a crush on him since a long time back, but I really like Brian, just the way he is as Brian. Well, I hadn’t met “Synyster Gates” yet, but it would be fun when that day arrived. Hopefully it would come soon!

I tried hard to find something entertaining to do today, it's Friday and I haven't anything to do. So I decided to play with Rocky for a couple of hours on the beach, then I read a book called “Darren Shan”, well I read the first of the 12 books, took a shower and watched TV. And later that evening I got a very desirable text from Brian.

‘Hey, what's up?’ He wrote.

‘Nothing, watching some crappy old TV show! You?’

‘Same here, want to do something fun tonight?’

‘Sure, you got anything in mind?’ I asked.

‘Yeah, the band is having a BBQ at Matt’s house, you know Shadz, the lead singer in our band. And I thought it would be cool for you to meet the rest of the band.’

‘Only if I can bring Rocky, he would love to get out of the house for a few hours and meet some new people :)’ I answered

‘Ha-ha, yeah of course! I'll pick you up in half an hour, so hurry up and get ready.’

I got a big oh my god warning! Yeah it’s kind of girlish but I was going to meet Avenged Sevenfold, my favorite band. I’ve loved them since I was about 14. And to top it all I was going to meet them as Brian’s company, but I felt a little worried of how he would introduce me since we didn’t date and were friends that hadn’t known each other for that long. But I felt like 14 again, I was too happy to worry. What would I wear? Should I have a dress, oh wait I don’t own a dress and I don’t like them so much. So I decided to just wear a pair of black slim jeans, a deep red hoddie and my red converse. I dressed and started to fix my hair. Today I choose to go with my natural curls and I put on some perfume, just I little because I’m sensitive for strong smelling ones, and I don’t want to sneeze all the evening. I applied some make-up, it was really easy, I didn’t want to look too dressed up, or shall you said to make-up? I finished with Rocky who got his nicest collar, a brown leather collar with studs. Now we were ready for an evening with the kick-ass band Avenged Sevenfold, and my company, Brian Haner.

Brian's POV
I ran around in the house, I couldn’t find my hairspray, not any of them and I had a lot of them. It must live ghosts here because something will always disappear when I need it the most! I glanced at the clock and to my horror I saw that I’m two minutes late. I didn’t care about the freaking hairspray anymore; I jumped in my shoes, black Nike as usual and ran to the car. A few minutes later I stood outside Amy's house. I texted her that I was outside and she came out. She looked so hot, even if she had a hoodie and jeans. All my other dates would have a tight dress that would have shown more than if they would have been naked. And people think that that’s what I like, don’t get me wrong, dresses can be really nice, but not if the person who wears it shows more than if she would wear a bikini or underwear it’s just wrong. But to my relief, Amy was perfect and I hope that the rest of the band will think the same, but I doubted that they would think anything else!

"Hey!" She said when she entered the car after she had put Rocky in the back seat.

"Hi, how are you?"

"I'm fine thanks, a little nervous but it will pass" She answered.

"I hope so, but the rest of the boys are awesome, so you don’t have to worry!"

We tried to drive in silence, but someone didn’t like that, Rocky sat and barked at Amy. He didn't like to sit in the back seat without her. He was jealous. According to Amy he was always in the front seat with her, looking out the window or just lying there. But he was always by her side. Except for now, but luckily it only took a couple of minutes to get to Matt's house.

I parked a few meters from his door because all the other guys had parked right outside his house and didn’t leave any space for my car, that wasn’t anything new. So we started to walk to the house and while we walked I grabbed her hand and it felt so right like if it was meant to be in my hand, she looked at me and smiled and I couldn’t resist smiling back to her. Rocky didn't look as happy as we were, he wanted all the attention. But now it was my time to get some attention, because Amy was the girl of my dreams….

Amy's POV
When Brian took my hand I couldn't stop smiling at him. It fitted perfectly in my little hand and it felt so right. This was the best day of my life, no one could ruin this day, and I mean no one. I noticed how Rocky started to look at me, I don’t think he liked that Brian took my hand, my little overprotective sweetheart. But he walked beside me all the time, without a leash. As usual, he wouldn’t ruin my reliance.

Brian knocked three times at the door and a muscular man opened it, I saw directly that it was Matt Shadows. Matt is the singer of Avenged Sevenfold. When I saw him I went speechless, he was really handsome, not Brian handsome but still, he looked good, and those dimples and hazel eyes are stunning. I had seen him once before when I was at one of their concert, but it was 2009 and he wore aviators then. I didn’t want to think this way when I’m with Brian, but honestly, Matt is really good looking, it’s just a thought nothing more of him.

"What's up Gates? And who is this lovely lady? You didn’t tell me that you would bring company." Matt said.

"Hey Matt, this is Amy, my girlfriend and her friend Rocky. I thought it would be cool if ya’ all met her." Brian said.

I looked at Brian and I couldn't believe what he just said to Matt. Was I his girlfriend? And I was worried about the introduction. My face must have looked like a tomato because I couldn't stop blushing. Should I say something or just shut up? I really liked Brian, but we had just known each other for a couple of weeks or so. And still, I didn't really care; I'd love to be Brian’s girlfriend.

We went inside to meet the rest of the guys. All were already there, the first one I met besides for Matt was Zacky, he had black hair with purple highlights and he was a little chubby but also really handsome, like the other guys. He was really nice and thought it was really good that Brian finally found someone that didn’t treat him like shit. Then it was Johnny, a short guy with a blond Mohawk, just as nice as the rest of the guys. And last but not least, Val. She is Matt’s girlfriend and I would love to get to know her better. She was not short but nor tau either and she had long blond hair. I was really happy to meet them all, it wasn’t awkward at all. It felt like a big family. But it was someone that was happier than me, and that one was Rocky. Everyone patted him and told him how beautiful he was. He loved all the attention.

"So, how did you guys meet?" Zacky asked me and Brian.

"I was out for a walk and really needed to smoke, but I forgot my lighter at home. Then I saw Amy at the beach, smoking, so I went to her, nearly got attacked by Rocky and asked for a lighter. Then we talked for some hours and I was stuck. She’s just too stunning." Brian answered with a laugh at the end and embraced me.

"Ha-ha that’s one of the cutest stories I have ever heard, or not, but I’m just glad that you found someone that you care about and that does the same for you.” Zacky said and flashed a smile.

"The best part is that she smokes Marlboro, can I be luckier?" Brian said with some tease in his voice and tickled me, “No but she is perfect for me.”

“I’m just glad that you found someone that makes you smile Gates.” Matt said.

“Yeah, me too.” Brian said and looked at me with the biggest smile on his face.

“Well I am glad that you found me.” I told Brian and he hugged me again. Everything felt like a dream. And I have dreamed a lot about Brian, but he was nothing like this in my dreams. I imagined him like a self-absorbed guy that knew how good he looked and took advance of that. But that wasn’t true at all; he was the opposite of that. He was the nicest guy I have ever met and he made me so happy. It was funny that I couldn’t find any friends, and then I end up with Brian Haner and the rest of Avenged Sevenfold.

I cuddled up against Brian while he talked to the boys. He placed his arm around me and I felt so safe. I was so lucky that I found the perfect boyfriend. The boyfriend thing hasn’t melted in yet, but it feels so awesome that I have a person by my side that cares about me and that only after a couple of weeks. He is so nice to me and treats me like a lady should be treated. I didn’t have a big experience with boys, but a lot of my old friends got mistreated by their boyfriends and I had to help them through it, so I knew a little.

We just sat in Matt’s couch and held hands for an hour or so. We looked in each other’s eyes a lot and just smiled. Could I be any luckier?

We stayed at Matt’s place some hours after midnight. We spent the day drinking some beer (I don’t even like beer, but it goes down when nothing else is served), chatting with the guys about everything and nothing. Most of the time we sat on Matt’s porch, so we could smoke at the same time we drank some beer and if we didn’t sit there we sat inside on the coach. It was so nice to finally talk to some people, not just a dog who didn’t answer you. Still I loved to talk to Rocky; I didn’t have any problem with that. But I saw that both I and he were happier with more people around us, he got so much attention that he nearly fell asleep. But when the clock went around two in the morning Brian asked me:
"Do you want to go home yet or do you want to stay a little longer?"

"I think I want to go home, I’m getting really tired and I think that Rocky is getting tired of all attention, it looks like he’s going to fall asleep any second." I said with a smile on my lips.

"Oh are you going already?" Johnny said. He must have heard our conversation "It was nice to meet you Amy!"

"It was nice to meet you to Johnny; it was nice to meet you all." I said.

"Hope to see you later, have a nice night you two." Matt shouted from the kitchen.

Walking out felt harder than it really was, I must have drank more than I thought I did. I swayed from side to side, so Brian took my hand and helped me to walk straight. To top it all, Rocky walked a bit behind us and I thought we would have to carry him after a while. He took small and slow steps with his head hanging. But both of us managed to get to the car before we fell asleep on the ground or before Brian had to carry us to the car.

"Hum, I was wondering about something, if we maybe would like to stay at my place tonight, but only if you want to do that. Do not feel like you have to do it for me." Brian said.

"That would be nice, but I have all my clothes and things at home. And I think that I really need a shower tomorrow morning." I said.

"You can borrow the things from me that you need, no problem."

“Well, then I would love to spend the night at your place.”

It took about five minutes before we stopped outside Brian’s house. And it was huge. I saw a little beach that was connected to his house; Rocky would appreciate that in the morning. He always wanted to start the day with some swimming and running at the beach. And I would like to sit on a beach as well. It was a routine we had, we always sat on the beach before work, and we have done that since we moved here. And it would be nice to not break that routine.
We stepped outside the car and Brian came to my side. He pushed me against the car and started to kiss me, long and passionate. I couldn’t stop kiss him back, it was the first real kiss since the café that we’ve shared. He pushed me closer and put his hands on my hips, I started to run my hands through his long and spiky hair, never breaking the kiss. The butterflies in my stomach went crazy! I really needed to ask him something, so I broke the kiss, I am not happy about it but I’m too curious to wait.

"Did you mean the thing you said to Matt earlier today? About me being your girlfriend." I asked him and looked down.

"Yes Amy, I do, but only if you want to.” He said and I started to kiss him again.

Brian's POV
I woke up with a big smile on my face. I could feel a warm breath on my shoulder, it was Amy. She stayed at my place all night and it was wonderful. After the kiss outside, at the car we ended up on the couch, and after some making out we decided to go to bed. And I mean just go to bed; I wanted to take things slow with Amy. I haven't been so happy for years, I truly love Amy. She was so too perfect to be true, but I wasn’t going to tell her yet; I didn’t want to freak her out or make her believe that I just want to come into her pants or something like that.

I dropped that thought, when I saw that Rocky was standing at the end of my bed and it looked like he really needed to go out, and I can’t ignore that. Even if I have the most beautiful girl sleeping on my shoulder. So I sneaked out from bed; I didn't want to wake Amy because it was early, about nine in the morning. Me and Rocky sneaked downstairs and I let him out and placed myself on my porch that was placed so you had the most perfect view of the ocean, I watched Rocky run on the beach. He really loved it. Then a thought struck me, maybe I should get a dog someday, for myself and for Rocky's sake, and of course for Amy’s sake. She loves dogs so much. That would be perfect, but I didn't know what I wanted. Maybe a Golden Retriever, Siberian Husky or a German Shepherd like Rocky. But I wasn’t sure what I could handle right now. A dog is a big responsibility, and every breed need different requirements. While I was in my own thoughts, Amy had waked up and was standing right beside me. She had a cigarette in her mouth and she wore one of my t-shirts.

"Got any fire handsome?" She asked me.

"Well of course, how else would I be able to smoke?" I said and handed her the lighter.

"I see that you let Rocky out for me. That was really thoughtful of you." She said with a smile.

I couldn't stop myself. She was so beautiful, even if she just woke up and her hair was in a sloppy ponytail and her make-up was a mess. I stood up in front of her, and I gave her a kiss. She answered it and after a few seconds we both had to breathe. She sat in my lap until her cigarette was finished. We walked inside the house with Rocky right behind us.

“I think I have to go upside and change to my clothes." Amy said.

"Why, you look really sexy in my t-shirt" I said teasingly and grabbed her hips and started to kiss her neck. A small moan escaped her lips.

“Brian! Stop thaaat!”

“Why? I know you like it!” I told her.

“Maybe, but I really need to shower, can I do it here?” She asked me.

"Yes you can, on one condition.”

“And what’s that?” She asked.

“I can take a shower with you.”

"Then you have to hurry before I get to the bathroom and lock the door!"

She started to run fast as hell, with me behind her. She didn't lock the door, and there we stood. Kissing and about to do something that we wouldn't regret. Not me at least.

When we were done with the shower I asked Amy a thing.

“You know that we said that we were going on a date today, what do you say about that?” I asked her.

“That would be lovely, lunch or dinner?”

“What about lunch? I am really hungry.” I told her.

“Can Rocky stay here or should we go to my place and drop him of?” She asked.

“He can stay here, no problem.”

“So got any restaurant in mind that you want to go to?”

“Yes, I’ve got one in mind. Let’s get dressed so we can go.” I said to her and we went upstairs to change clothes. I got some new clothes and Amy had the same as yesterday. But that is not weird since she had slept here the whole night.
“I am ready, shall we leave?” Amy said when she was dressed. She didn’t bother to dry her hair so she putted it in a ponytail. But it looked really good that way so it didn’t mattered.

We went to a finer restaurant and got tables directly. I think that they knew who I am, and that is good sometimes. So we placed ourselves at our table and ordered some food.

“It is nice to finally go out on a date with you Brian.” Amy said to me.

“I say the same, but with you.” I told her, “I have wanted it since day one with you.”

“You are too sweet Brian, but I have to agree. I’ve wanted to date you since I was fourteen.” She said and started to blush.

“Is that true?” I said and raised an eyebrow.

“Ha-ha, yes it is.”

We laughed trough the date and everything felt so right. I was so happy the entire time and Amy looked happy to. It was something with that girl that could make me do anything. And I never want this to end; I want to spend the rest of my life with this girl.
