Ara dropped onto the couch in the living room with a groan. She ran her hand over her face. "That boy needs to grow up some. I mean I love him the way he is, but just sometimes, I wish." She said as Ville sat next to her. He smiled at her. "He's still a kid, Ara. He'll grow out of it." He said. Ara snorted. Out of no where everyone piled into the house. "Ara, we're hungry! Feed us!" Was yelled through out the house. "Who the fuck do I look like? Ape?" She moaned. "No, but you can cook." Brain said smiling at her. "Okay, but you eat what I cook." She said. "Fine." With that Ara went back to the kitchen. There was like 30 people in her house and she had 3 hours to feed them. Ville walked into the kitchen. "Um...Ara...I don't eat red meat." He said leaning against the marble counter. "Not a problem, Neither does Seth, Luke or Mike. I'm going to make spaghetti." She said boiling a large pot of water. "Mmm..I love spaghetti." He moaned happily. Ara smiled. "Now, leave. No one is allowed in the kitchen when I'm making dinner." She said pointed a wooden spoon at him. He made a scared face and ran out. Ara giggled. "Always attract the lovable crack heads."
She made everyone dinner, then they headed out. "Ok, ok! Shut up!" Bam yelled. "We have to figure out if Ara's going to the X game or the concert." He said. "Take a vote." Luke said. "Can't Concert guys will vote for themselves, as will the X gamers." Ara said. "How about Ville and Deegan do rock, paper, scissors and whoever wins the first time gets Ara." Ryan suggested. Ville and Brain agreed. Before they played, Ara whispered something in Ville's ear. "Ok." He smiled. "Ready...set...go!" Bam said. Brain picked rock and Ville picked paper. "Ah! Paper covers rock. Ville wins. Ara is going to the HIM concert." Bam cheered. Everyone piled into the car. "I have a special place for you at the concert." Ville whispered in Ara's ear from behind her. His warm breath made her ear twitch. "Do you?" She whispered back. "Yeah." "Where would that be?" She asked. "You'll see, Darling, You'll see." He teased. "Stopped flirting, you two." Bam scolded them from the driver's seat. "Where not flirting, you dumb wit. We're just talking." She blushed. "I thought we were." Ville said sounding like an offended teenager. Bam shook his head.
At the concert, they sat backstage waiting for the band to be called. Ville pulled Ara into the seat next to him, before Bam sat down. "Sorry, I was saving the spot for her." He said, when Bam gave him a 'What the hell' look. Bam shrugged it off and sat across the room. "You are to stay by me all night." Ville whispered to her. "Until you go on stage." Ara smiled. "Even then, Ara." He said pulling her closer. "Ville, I have a monstrous fear of large groups of people. I can't go on stage at my own show without being high out of my mind. The only place I can be with large amounts of people is at an X game that I'm doing and that's cause of the adrenaline and the will not to crash and die." She told him. Ville just smiled. "You'll be fine. I promise." He said kissing her cheek. Ara looked at Bam with fear in her eyes. Bam smiled not noticing. "HIM, You're on." A worker called. Ville pulled Ara up. She just looked at him. He smiled and popped her on the butt, "Move your ass, before I carry you out there." She didn't move an inch. He narrowed his eyes at her and she gave him a playful look. Ville pulled her over his shoulder and carried her on stage. "Ladies and Gentlemen, I brought a pet with me on stage tonight. We all know her very well, Ara Blood, from Fall of Death." Ville said out to the fans. "But, you see, huge groups scare her. So, I'm going to try and calm her nerves about it with your help, of course." He said. The fans were all for it.
Ville set Ara down be kept hold of her belt loop with one hand. "Look at them, Ara." Ville told her. Ara shook her head. "You're so cruel." She shivered. He moved behind her, placing his right hand on the left side of her face, he turned her head so she looked over the crowd. Ara took a deep, unsteady breath and closed her eyes. Ville quietly pressed his index finger of his free hand to his lips quieting the crowd, then gently all Ara could hear was Ville's voice in her ear singing 'Poison Girl.' Softly, she opened her eyes. The crowd was looking at her. "Or are they looking at Ville?" She thought "Or Ville holding me comfortably to his slim body?" She wasn't sure and it made her curious, so she stared back, trying to read the many faces in the crowd. Ara didn't find the answer before, Ville finished the song and whispered in her ear once again. "See it's not hard. Your doing good. Only 5 more songs, then you can beat me up if you want." He said kissing the sensitive spot next to her jaw and ear. Ara bit her lip at the thought of having to do this any longer. Ville started the next 4 songs without saying anything to Ara. Which only scared her, til he started to sing again and soothed her with his voice and thumb rubbing her neck. "Last one." He said. Ara took another deep breath and swayed to the music. Ville smiled feeling her move against him.
After the song Ville thanked the fans. Then turned back to Ara. "Good girl. I'm so proud of you. You did great." He smiled. "Now, come on. Let's leave." He said. They walked backstage and as soon as they were behind the curtain, Ara began to cry. Ville turned and looked at her sympathetically. "At least you made it through the show without crying." He smiled, embracing her. "Come on, let's get you back to your house and I'll make this up to you. You just have to stop crying, cause Vilo doesn't make things up to crying little girls." He teased as he wiping the tears from her face. It took Ara a few seconds to stop crying, but it happened. Ville smiled again and they left.
"Freaking Ara! Oh my god...Ville how the hell did you get her to do that?" Bam asked practically jumping in his seat. "I understand her fear." Ville said. Ara smiled back. The gang arrived back at Ara's house before the X gamers. Some of the CKY crew and HIM members went to bed. Ara went to the studio and Bam and Ville watched TV.
Ara sat in the studio listening to the song she just finished putting together for the new album. Travis came in and sat down next her. "Hey." He called tapping her on the shoulder. Ara moved one of the head phones from the ear closest to Travis. "Hey, How'd it go?" She asked. "It went good. How was the concert?" "Ville is a cruel person is all I got to say." Ara replied. Travis laughed. "Well, I'm going to go to bed. See you in a few hours." He said hugging her. "Alright, sleep well." "You too." On the way out Travis ran into Ville. "Oh, Hey." He smiled walking past. Ville smiled back. "Hey, it's almost 1am. You should be in bed." He said standing behind her. "I don't sleep, Ville. I haven't since I was little." She answered.
Ville pushed her chair to the side. He leaned down and held her head in his hands. Sweetly, his lips touched hers, before fully capturing them. Ara leaned into the kiss, the taste of his lips were like holding a warm, lovely, soft cloud in your hands. But, reality came crashing back. Ara pulled away from him and looked away. "We can't do that, Ville." She whispered. "Why?" He asked confused, "Ara, From the moment I saw on stage the first time 2 years ago, I wanted you, I needed you. I thought I could find someone like you, but that went horribly wrong. Now, I have the chance to have you, to love you always. Why can't we do it?" "We just officially met, Ville. We know each other, yeah. But not on that level..." "Then, let's get to know each other level. I'll cut off my own hands to be with you." Ville pleaded. Ara looked up at Ville's face. His hair hung slightly over his eyes, his black eyeliner was smugged at the bottom of his eyes, on propose and his facial hair was growing in as well. It all gave him a sexy emo, goth look that Ara really liked. But, of all things his bright emerald green eyes stole Ara's heart in an instant. A throat cleared and Ara rolled her eyes. "What, Bam?" She smiled. "All the rooms are taken." Bam stated. A 'fucking great' smile spread across her lips. There was one room left and it was hers. But, there was 3 of them. There was no way she was sleeping with both of them, she'd lose her mind. Between Bam's blanket hogging, over cuddling ways and Ville wanting to be with her, not that she didn't want to be, it was just really fast.
"Then, you can sleep in the living room and Ville can have my room." She said. "Sounds good." Bam said going to get a blanket and pillow. "Anyway, I know how you feel, Ville. But, are you sure you want too?" She asked tracing the tattoo design on his arm. "You have no idea how sure I am." He replied smiling brightly. "But, our schedules..." "Forget about them. Worrying about that shit will destroy us faster than anything else. You have to learn how to roll with it." "But, I don't want you to feel left out or that I'm cheating on you." He said sitting on the sofa. Ara giggled. "I know what the life as a rocker is like and I'm not worried about it. Seeing you once a year for 5 minutes would be fine with me as long as I know that you love me and you're happy. And plus I have no agent in pro sports and I'm F.O.D's music producer I have all the time in the world." She said. "You'd honestly drop everything you were doing to come see me...where I'm at?" He asked. "Yes, I would." Ville's heart felt like it pounded out of his chest and leaped into Ara's safe hands. He breathed happily. "Now go to bed. You look like your going to pass out." She said turning back to her work. Ville got up and kissed her neck. "Good night, Darling." He smiled and left the room. Ara sighed and leaned back in the chair. "This is going to be a great 2 weeks." She laughed.
