Chapter 5: Not close, but still….

After minutes of travelling through town (and possibly getting lost) the group finally arrived at the studious for their photo session.

"Finally! Murdoc, I swear you got us lost for at least 5 times this session" said Russel with an amused expression.

"Shut your gob! We got here, didn't we" yelled Murdoc in the back at the others.

"Twenty minutes late." Said Maya, looking at her wrist watch.

"As usual." Completed the vocalist, while looking bored out the widow.

Murdoc grumbled while parking the car. "Ok everybody out!" he shouted and everyone obeyed his command.

"Grumpy, isn't he?" Maya whispered to Noodle while entering the studio.

"Always." Whispered back the lovely axe princess.

"AH, finally you're here!" said a very excited photographer when seeing the group.

"The girls, go to the room on your right for makeup and outfit. Guys come with me. Your going to meet the girls."

"Girls? Lead the way, mate!" said Murdoc, grinning over the photographers shoulder.

Maya couldn't hold a giggle that transformed into a laughter, with a little help from Noodle.

"Come on girls, makeup awaits." Said the stylist, pushing the girl to the makeup room.

"Oh, I'm not in the band, I just came to observe." Said Maya, backing from the others.

"Nay, Maya-san, please come. You can pose as a fan." said Noodle in a cheerful attitude.

"Ummm, well I guess it'll ok, if I ….." said Maya, uncertain.

"Come on, girls, no time to think." Rushed the stylist.

The girls went pretty fast through makeup and dress up. They looked very strange in their new outfits. Noodle looked older and Maya sexier. The axe princess was wearing a red tank top, with leather wrist gloves, blue skirt and a yellow 'Six feet under' cap. Maya was wearing a black allona knee length skirt with a denim black leather jacket with an up side down cross on the back covering her little 'Black Sabbath' ¾ tank. Her makeup was in shades of purple and bright red. The stylist also made her wear some black leather gloves and long high-heel boots and ironed her hair to stay straight. She looked sexy, gothic and sweet at the same time.

"Man, those guys did an act on me. I look like a female Murdoc." Said Maya, looking at herself in the mirror. Noodle let a out a giggle before grabbing her hand.

"Let's go Maya-san. Don't worry, you look beautiful." Said the axe princess, admiring Maya's outfit.

"And you look older. About 16 if I'm not exaggerating. But still sweet" said Maya, smiling at the axe princess.

"There you are girls, come on let's not keep the others waiting." Said the photographer, guiding the girls to a big room, where the other band mates were posing with their fans.

2D was sitting on a black throne, while Murdoc was sitting next to 2D, with his bass in his hand. And Russel at his drums. They were surrounded by fan girls, that were smiling seductively at them. Murdoc always returned the smile, 2D didn't pay much attention, and Russel kept his focus on his drums.

"Ok, guys now group photo with the girls." Said a female photographer to the group. "Noodle you stay with 2D, Russel you move to the other side with Murdoc. Now, the girls stay beside and in front."

"Miss, have you seen Maya?" said Noodle, worried her friend go lost.

"Oh, yes! Maya come inside, will you, dear" said the photographer.

Maya came inside slowly. 2D stared at her, grinning and waving, Russel widened his eyes, but decided to smile and Murdoc almost revealed his dropped jaw, if not Noodle pocket his shoulder.

"Ok, sweetie, you stay right next to …."

"ME!" shouted Murdoc, just so every fan girl would look at him, surprised.

"Yes, I was going to say that! Maya, you stay with Murdoc." Said the photographer, a little surprised by the bassists brake-out.

They all had their throne, and the fan girls were sitting next to them. They made some quick shots of them like that before changing them.

"Ok girls, now pretend you're hugging them." Commanded the female photographer. The fan girls responded with a giggle.

Maya felt a quick warm in her cheeks before responding to the photographers wish. She moved in the back of Murdocs throne and put her arms around his neck, hugging him from behind. She also felt the need to go deeper, into his black shirt.

The bassist felt quite relaxed by her actions, feeling himself the need to hold her hands.

Their picture was taken like this, Maya hands in bassists shirt and Murdoc, resting his head on the girls arm. They looked gullible.

"Ok, take five everybody!" the photographer yelled at the others.

"Alright!" said Murdoc, cheerful.

Maya looked a little blushed while Noodle giggled at the girl.

"Maya-san! How are you now?" asked Noodle still giggling.

Maya raised an eyebrow at her, but smiled teasingly "I feel good!" she said, covering her cheeks with her hands. "I'm kinda worried about those death glares,though" she said pointing at the fan girls who were flirting with 2D and Murdoc.

Maya felt a little depressed by the scene. Noodle smiled at the Romanian girl.

"Don't worry Maya-san, they're just fans that come and go. They don't love us for our personality, neither for our music, just out popularity." Said the axe princess, walking along with Maya in another large room that had large window.

"Yeah, whatever." Said Maya, a little sad.

"Noodle-luv, come here, will you?" said the photographer, very excited entering the room.

"I will see you later, Maya-san." Said the cheerful axe princess.

Maya was left alone, staring at the large window. She observed the white clouds passing through. 'Well, since I got nothin' better to do, might as well call Mata, to tell her the news.' She thought while searching for her cell phone. 'Damn, must've left it home. God I'm such a twit' She thought bumping her head slowly in the window.

The bassist, seeing the Romanian girl is nowhere to be found, smirked and said to the fan girls "Excuse me, girls, I've got to take a real brake." And he started to search for his Romanian girl, who was still bumping her head on the window in the next room.

He opened the door and was amused by the girls actions.

"If you're gonna break that, you'll have to pay it." Said the bassist, grinning at the Romanian girl.

"Oh sigh what's up?" said the girl, trying to fake a smile.

"Oh, nottin' just flirting around, trying to catch some lovelies." Said Murdoc, examining Maya's body. "But there's a little problem 'ere, if ya haven't noticed." She continued, staring at the clouds.

"Oh, and what that may be, I wonder?" asked Maya in a teasing voice, and smiling at the Satanist.

Murdoc grinned putting a cigar in his mouth "Well, it just so happens, luv, that the only lovely I haven't flirted with stays with me in my frickin' house, cooks for my band mates, helps us with our supplies and instruments and so on" he said grinning at her while lighting up his cig.

Maya smiled teasingly at him "And I bet you want to flirt with this lovely, don't you." She said rolling her eyes and started to walk away from the Satanist.

Sensing the moment passing, he quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled her back, grabbing her waist and pulling her closer to his body.

"Murdoc…" she whispered to him, feeling his chest very close to hers. "The photographers and the fans……..they'll see and….." but her sentence was interrupted by a finger that was placed gently on her lips.

"Right now, birdie, I don't really give a flying fuck" whispered the bassist in the Romanian girls ear. She blushed deeper at the sound of his deep voice.

They were ready to kiss, when..

"Hey, Muds, the girls want you down there right now!" yelled 2D, entering the large room.

Maya and Murdoc parted immediately, hearing the vocalists voice.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm coming!" the bassist yelled at the confused singer. He then turned to the still blushed girl and smiled while brushing the hair off her face with his fingers, when the vocalist was not looking. She smiled back and returned to her cloud staring.

"Ok, now let's get this over with. I'm getting tired already." Shouted the bassist, returning to his usual state.

"Oy, Muds be with you in just a sec." the vocalist said, while Murdoc exited the large room. He then turned his glare at Maya, who was smiling at the clouds.

"Oy, luv, you happy today." He said walking towards the girl.

Maya turned to face the smiling vocalist. "Well, ya I'm with you guys, why shouldn't I be?" she said raising her shouders.

"Dunno, just that a few minutes ago, you seemed sad, and now you're smiling your heart out." Said the grinning vocalist, looking at the clouds above. "Maya-luv?"

"Yes?" said Maya looking at her boots.

"Be careful. He does like you, maybe even more than a friend, but that doesn't mean he can't hurt you." He said with a worried voice.

"Hm….maybe." she said staring at the clouds "Maybe he will. Maybe he will not." She said smiling

The cute vocalist smiled gently, seeing the Romanian girls expression.

"Well we better finish the job. Coming?" he said, walking at the door.

"Yeah. Hey, 2D, how come you don't have a headache?" asked the Romanian girl entering the large session room.

"Well, I saw you, and I felt better." He said, smiling.

Maya smiled back.

In the room, Russel and Noodle were placed for a last photo, while Murdoc was waiting for someone.

"Ok, guys, last photo! Russel, Noodle you stay right where you are. 2D in the front and Murdoc beside him." Shouted the photographer, with a pleased expression.

The last photo they made was one with their instruments. Maya smiled at the other while their picture was taken.

"Ok, people, we're finished. Thank you and goodbye!" yelled the photographer, quickly exiting the room.

"Well, we're finished! Let's get outta here!" said Murdoc, leading the way to his car.

After a few minutes they were home at Kong Studios.

"Well it's about 5, so any suggestions on what we should do?" asked Maya, walking with the others on the corridors.

"Well, me and Noodle are gonna play some video games, 2D has a new zombie flick, and Murdoc's just gonna go to the pub. Just another day." Said Russel, putting his hands in his pockets.

Russel and Noodle shortly disappeared and 2D headed for his room. On the corridor, there were left Maya and the bassist.

"So…" started the bassist walking slowly to the girl.

Maya remained still and started to smile teasingly at the bassist. "So…." She said

"Is there any chance we could continue our lovely conversation?" said the bassist, starting to grin, revealing his sharp teeth.

Maya raised an eyebrow, but continuing to smile, she walked towards the bassist, putting her hands on his shoulders, and started to whisper into his ear.

"Maybe, if you'll help me with my room." She whispered into the bassists ear.

Still grinning he put his arms around her waist and whispered back

"Anything for those lips." He said

Maya then backed away, heading for Noodles room. " Well, you better get dressed for work, lover boy." She shouted. And with that she disappeared down the corridor.

Murdoc, smirked and reached for a cig and putting it into his mouth. He light it up and started to walk down to the carpark.

'Hm, what a woman. Have to rip my back just for a sweet kiss. What a woman' He thought entering his Winnebago.
