A/N: Playlist is on my author page if you want to go ahead and take a listen. There's a bit of fluff at the end of this chapter, but I think it's appropriate. Once you're done, take some time to review please :)

Chapter 11

"You might wanna buckle your seat belt." Missy said in conern out of her friend's safety. Felicia raised her eyebrows in concern and looked at everyone else sitting in the back seat.

"Murdoc's driving can't possibly be as bad as she's said. Are you sure you aren't exaggerating?" Solemnly everyone else looked back at her and nodded their heads. It was not just by luck to still be living when the main driver in the group drove like a bat out of hell. It didn't take long for Missy to find that out either, despite her pleads and protests for him to drive a tad bit slower to avoid any unfortunate accidents.

Without a second thought, she grabbed the seat belt and fastened it tightly across her lap. She was jolted back into the seat as the Geep started to peel out. "Hold on for dear life!" Missy yelled over her shoulder. Her hair was flying magnificently everywhere, easily becoming tangled in the wind. Felicia didn't know where they were going, but obviously Murdoc had something in mind. When her friend told her that the bassist had agreed for all of them to hang out together she didn't think she would have much input on where that was going to take place.

Many pairs of hands grasped handles so hard their knuckles turned white. The highway for Murdoc equaled a race track where he could pull his best dare devil stunts, but at times he seemed to have little regard for human life whether it was his or someone else's. There were times Missy could've sworn he cut off other cars to see if they would crash and burn. She wasn't too sure if some of them didn't.

"Are you insane?" Felicia screamed from the back seat. Her heart was pounding and her stomach was down to her knees.

Murdoc twisted his head around with an evil smile on his face. "That's the idea." His foot slammed harder on the gas pedal.


They came to a screeching halt in the car park; the girls a little worse for wear because they weren't used to risking their lives with what should have been a simple car ride. With a concerned look 2D placed a hand on top of Felicia's. "You look like you're going to be sick."

She smiled weakly at him. "You might be right. That tends to happen after I'm afraid my life is going to reach its untimely end." Her hand squeezed his gently. "Thank you for your concern."

The driver door slammed shut. "Live a little." The clicking of his Cuban heeled boots could be heard walking across the concrete.

Missy had observed what just transpired between her friend and the lanky singer. She thought it was charming he was conerned for Felicia's well being. Looking to Murdoc, he had already walked through the door to go into Kong. Sighing, she unbuckled herself and got out of the car.

"What do you guys think we should do?" Missy asked. She didn't feel she knew the whole group well enough outside of Felicia and Murdoc to suggest anything.

"We should all watch a scary movie." The brunette heard Felicia suggest.

"That's a great idea! What do you think?" 2D turned expectantly at Missy. She nodded in agreement. It was Halloween, so why not? Murdoc might even like the idea.

"How about you guys pick out a movie and all of us will watch it?" Excitedly, the both agreed. They all but ran to get inside the building, looking like kids ready to play. Russel and Noodle had already gone inside so Missy was all alone.

I'll just wait for him to finish whatever he's doing and he can find me. She went to his lair waiting for him to come claim her. When she opened the door to the Winnie it was dark, but that wasn't too surprising because that's the way Murdoc liked it. If she had flicked on a light, it wouldn't illuminate the room at any strength. The soft flicking of wings could be heard somewhere in the recesses of his living quarters.

"It's just me Cortez." Missy said under her breath, not wanting to stress the bird out and have her eyes pecked out of her skull. Thinking back she remembered the first time she saw the crow, not knowing that he was remotely a pet. At the time she thought a bird had managed to find his way to an unlikely place, but Murdoc was quick to correct her. The crow was free to do whatever he pleased and to come and go whenever he wanted. Some people had dogs and cats, but of course not Murdoc, he had a crow.

She smiled thinking about how eccentric Murdoc really was. Nothing she did was truly weird to him because he always had a story that topped anything she did proving to her that she was a normal person after all. Feeling warm she took her sweater off clad only in her jeans and bra. She wandered over to where his dresser was and rummaged through a drawer. Her little hands found an old shirt of his and she slid it on. The fabric was well worn and felt vintage against her smooth skin

The door slammed open and it made Missy jump and Cortez caw. "What were you doing?" She tried to portray a calm demeanor.

"Collecting a few souls here and there; what were you doing?" Murdoc's rough hands smoothed over her stomach, the heat from his palms permeated the thin material. His head nuzzled her shoulder and he nipped at her.

"I'm glad you have your priorities in order." Missy chuckled lightly. She turned around and gently grabbed his face. There certainly was a height difference and when a woman wanted to take control, that difference made it a little difficult. Standing on the tips of her toes she grazed his lips with hers, tantalizing him with her sweet kisses.

"I've been going through your clothes if you really wanted to know what I was doing." Missy smiled knowing that she ruined their moment. His eyes traveled down her torso.

"I can see that, but it would've been more beneficial if you were naked in my bed." He spoke near her ear making the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. Trying to put some distance between them she put her hands on his chest and took a step back.

"While that sounds incredible, everyone is probably waiting patiently for us to watch a movie with them."

He countered "Dullard probably wants to be alone." Missy looked at him like an oblivious child.

"What do you mean?" She said in an uneasy voice. It's not like they did anything to him, did they? Her mind started going at a thousand miles an hour at how they could've done something to cross the singer.

"Let me rephrase that love. He wants to be alone with Felicia." With those words a bolt of realization hit her. They liked each other. How did she not see it before? Was she a bad friend for not seeing that? There were numerous different feelings coursing through her at one time. She felt stupid that she didn't suspect the obvious, and then there was confusion as to why she wasn't told anything in the first place. Did Felicia not trust her? It was too much to wrap her mind around at one time.

"How do you know?" The brunette asked him in an accusing tone. Was he keeping secrets from her too?

He regretted opening up that can of worms once he saw the look on her face. "I've been around the block enough times to know when people are…" He looked for the right words to say. "...interested in another's company."

Missy pondered his words wondering if she was blowing the situation out of proportion. On one hand she was happy for her friend, but on the other hand she felt left out that she wasn't told about the budding relationship. "Am I being silly about this?" Her green eyes went wide.

"Yes." Roughly Murdoc pushed his mouth on hers. "Let them have their privacy." He silenced her protests one scorching kiss at a time.


Felicia felt suddenly shy being alone with her paramour. There was something about his sweet nature that made her blush and act silly. The night had taken a different turn than she originally planned as she had hoped that she would have the comfort of a group to help her open up rather than forcing herself to not be timid.

"Evil Dead or Dawn of the Dead?" 2D held two DVD boxes out for her to choose from. She twisted a finger around a tendril of her red hair in part from nervousness and in part from not knowing what to do with herself.

"Evil Dead sounds good to me. Are you sure the others don't want to watch it with us?" He watched her fidget.

"We asked and they said no. Besides, they're welcome to join us anytime they want to. Don't know why anyone would want to miss out on an old fashioned zombie movie though." Earlier Noodle had declined on the offer because she said there was a videogame she had just gotten in the mail that she wanted to play. That in turn knocked out Russel to join in because he would be with Noodle, helping her when she got stuck in the game. 2D grasped Felicia's hand in his and took her to the home theater.

He thought she was acting weird, like she didn't want to be left alone with him. During the video shoot she was completely different around him, lively and talkative. Now she was acting like was unsure of how to act around him. She certainly didn't act like that when they made out in her dressing room. In fact, she had been down right aggressive.

"What about Missy and Murdoc?" Felicia didn't want to leave her friend out of something she had asked to do with her. 2D slipped the DVD into the theater projector.

"If Murdoc wanted to come up with us he would've come. It's best to leave him alone if he's preoccupied." An image of her best friend with the bassist in a carnal embrace flitted quickly across her mind. She couldn't help but let out a laugh.

"Stuart, I believe you may be right." He smiled a gap toothed grin at her.

"Ready to start the movie then?" Felicia sat down as 2D turned off the lights and started the movie. He sat down next to her and whispered "If you get scared, let me know."

She smiled at how sweet he really was. "I won't get scared with you around to protect me." Sensing she was getting comfortable 2D nonchalantly laced his fingers with hers and pulled her closer. She put her head gently on his shoulder, mixing blue hair with red.
