I almost got butterflies in my stomach from only reading that..... Well btw, I've finished something I think you'll like... xD While I read back at page 3 (I think it was), and James and Ade were fighting at their worst, one funny image crossed my mind while I read this:
And I started to laugh.. I laughed and I laughed, and couldn't shake the picture off. So I decided eventually to draw it... xD This is what I saw...: ![]() There you go... One furious James & Ade... XD I hope you like it... I remembered that Ade's hair was reddish, so I made it kinda red/brown And about Katy, I had no idea so I made her blonde, as I saw in this chapter that she prefered blonde guys... ![]() I just love chibi's and manga... X'D

I'm glad you liked it... ![]() My mind always creates those things in chibis or whatever... It's kinda weird! xD And when a picture like that gets stuck to my mind, just have to draw it...

In the morning I invited Katy to have breakfast with me before we left to the venue. I wanted to know every single detail about her night out with Phil. We sat by the table, both of us, not eating just messing around with the eggs in our plates. “What’s wrong, why aren’t you eating? Was is that bad?” I asked her as she was making me nervous. “It was great. I think I like him.” She said. I couldn’t do anything but smile. I was happy she was finally letting go of Danny. “That’s a good thing! Did anything happened?” “No, we just went out just the two of us but there is an obvious connection.” “Humm…seems like we’re going to have an affair or more.” I shot her a grin. “How was your night?” She asked me referring to my night out with James. I sighed and the grin faded away. Suddenly, as memories of my night with him became fresh, I stopped smiling and my face became rather serious. “What’s wrong Ade?” She asked. “Nothing’s wrong. We had a good time.” I explained. “Then why that serious look on your face? I know you…” “I don’t know…” I relieved. “I just don’t know. I like to be with him but I just don’t know if it’s a good idea. I like what I see when I look at him, it’s hard for me to stray from what happened in London, it keeps popping up in my mind, like I want to do it again. Not in the same crazy and adventurous way. I don’t know if I would resist if he tried, honestly. And when he smiles…oh man…” Katy just shot me a huge smile. “Why are you smiling that way?” I asked. She shook her head. “Nothing, just nothing, we’ll come back to this subject later. When you’re ready.” “Ready for what?” I asked her curious. Katy got up and grabbed her purse. “We’re running late, we better go.” She said. I looked at the watch in my wrist and followed her, no doubt we were running late to prepare that night’s show. The usual and same stuff at the venue. Katy left me doing almost everything as she got distracted by Phil’s presence. She was falling for him only she didn’t have a clue or didn’t want to admit it, but all of us around could feel the chemistry between them and I didn’t understand shit about love. What did I know, I had never been in love but I could notice it in other people. I longed to feel the same way. It never happened. The guys joined us after lunch for our usual rehearse pre show. I noticed James a bit sad and even looking tired. He was especially silent, mumbling just a shy hello when he saw me that day, then it was all about work until we were all finally settled. “What’s up with him?” I asked Lars when we were all leaving to the backstage to relax until show time. “I don’t know. He’s been like that since we left the hotel.” “Probably personal problems.” I mumbled. Lars looked at me surprised aware that I knew what was happening with him. James walked inside his private room and closed the door behind him. “Maybe you could talk to him.” Lars suggested. We stopped in front of James’s room talking, I wasn’t feeling sure if I should interrupt his moment alone. Maybe he just wanted to be left alone. “I don’t think I should.” I told him. “I think you should Ade. I’ve seen the two of you almost getting at it and now I see the two of you being really close. I know you know what’s happening in his personal life, that means in some way that he trusts you. Go talk to him.” Lars words made a little sense to me and seeing James that down was bothering me for a clueless reason. At least for me. I nodded at him and knocked softly at his door. Lars left right away and Connie gave a sympathetic smile. “James…can I come in?” I asked him opening the door gently. He was sat on a couch with his elbows leaned on his knees with his head down. Definitely he was sad but he nodded at me so I stepped in and sat by his side. “What’s wrong?” I asked him. “If you don’t mind me asking, that is.” James looked at me and gave me a smile. His eyes were painful I felt like running my hand through his hair to give him support. “I talked to my daughter today on the phone, actually to the three of them. God I miss them so much.” So that was it, James was craving for his kids. I let go of my refrained feelings and tangled my fingers in his hair and ran my hand through it. He closed his eyes while my fingers slid on his hair and a soft smile appeared on his lips. “Thanks for doing that.” He told me. “Ask your wife to bring them here.” I suggested again. “I did, I asked her but as I told you she’s in Argentina and she doesn’t want to come back so soon. I understand that but I miss them anyway.” James grabbed my hand and held it, I didn’t feel like pulling it away so I left it there. As I said before I liked the safety feeling that simple gesture brought me. “Is she gonna forbid you to see your kids after the divorce?” “No, she’s not. It’s just now that she’s out of the country. I understand her point but I feel sad anyway. I am used to have them with me.” James played with my fingers between his still. “Be patient then.” “I am. Thanks for caring.” He told me. “You’re welcome.” I said. James took my fingers to his lips and kissed them. I felt chills, I wasn’t expecting him to do that. “Are you going to the party after the show?” I pulled my hand away that moment and he smirked. “I don’t think so. It’s a public party filled with other stars, I don’t like those type of places.” I explained. “Come on, just this once. I am asking you to come.” I shook my head. “I don’t think so, sorry. I am going to my room as soon as this show is over. Have a good time in there.” I got up to leave and walked to the door. “It’s not the same thing without you.” He blurted. I looked back at him surprised. Things were definitely getting weird. “I am sorry but this time you can’t convince me.” I said shutting the door behind me. I left his private room shaking, the hands holding, the kiss in my fingers and his last sentence made me shudder. Like I had told James after the show I went straight to the hotel. I hadn’t changed my mind. I didn’t like big parties. I was not the sociable kind amongst strangers at all and I didn’t like big publicity by appearing with Metallica on a pubic event like that party was. I slid into some sweaters and crashed on the couch with a book. I was glad I was having a quiet night. I needed that too. James POV Adriana was right. These parties suck major balls and don’t bring you anything new. I couldn’t stop thinking about her and how I’d rather be with her having a normal conversation that there, surrounded by people and women hitting on me as my divorce hit the news. She was nothing like that, she was supportive and she understood me. She calmed me down and she made feel good. Yes, I’d rather be with her than surrounded by greedy people with fake feelings. Plastic world that is. I strayed from the crowd and sat against the counter of the bar opened for the party with Adriana running through my mind. I was quiet and not talking to anyone. Lars saw me from across the room and began to walk, I knew he was coming to me. I wasn’t wrong, he sat in the bench next to mine in seconds. “Why are you so quiet Het?” He began. “Nothing, I’m just not in the mood to socialize.” “Seems to me like you’re far away from here. Where is your head?” Lars knew me too well. I sighed at his acknowledgement. “Come one, talk to me.” He insisted. “Adriana…” I said her name. “Ade? Is there where your head is?” I nodded not caring I was confessing it. I was thinking about her. I’d thought about her all time. I’d caught myself thinking about her great part of the day and wishing for the time to come when I can see her again. I liked to be with her. “What’s happening between you two?” “Nothing is happening between us.” I said shortly taking a sip of my water. “We’re just friends.” “Why are you thinking about her then?” Lars was patient. He knew he wouldn’t get a straight answer from me that easy. “She’s not here and I was thinking that I would like to be with her.” “Are you having feelings for her?” Lars asked. “I like to be with her, I like to talk to her, that’s all.” I clarified. I was a bit confused with the feelings she made me feel. “Why don’t you go then?” Lars suggested. I looked at him and put my bottle on the counter. “I don’t think I should. I don’t want to invade her space, she’s at the hotel having a quiet night. If I go there I am invading her space and I don’t want to do that.” “You know her a lot.” He commented being vague. “We talk a lot Lars. She’s like me or better say she was like me when I was her age. She doesn’t let people getting too close.” “Well, you know how to deal that James. Like you said, you were that way so you know how to break into that wall.” “What are you implying?” I asked him as I got lost in the conversation. I hadn’t a clue of what he was trying to tell me. Lars smirked. “What I am implying is that I see the way you look at her.” I opened my mouth to speak but he motioned to silence me. I waited. “I see the way you look at her and how much time you spend doing it. You say you like to be with her, that’s a good thing so if you are having doubts in how to break her wall, I am saying that you know exactly how to do it, you above all of us know what to do, I think you are afraid though.” Lars left me speechless. “If you don’t want to be here and you want to go to her, then go. I am sure she won’t mind. She went to talk to you this afternoon didn’t she?” I nodded. “Then what’s so impossible into breaking her wall?” “You think I should go?” “Clearly you want to go otherwise you wouldn’t be thinking about it and you wouldn’t be having this conversation with me. Just go man!” I smiled at him. “GO!” He almost shouted. I tapped his shoulder and got up. I left the place right away towards the hotel. I wanted to be with her. I took a taxi, the driver took like an eternity or it seemed to me that way. Already there I grabbed the key card to my own room in the reception and took the lift up to our floor. Her room was just next to mine. In the elevator I looked at my watch and saw it was a bit late, maybe she was already sleeping. When I got out I noticed the light from under her door which meant she was still awake but I chicken out and went to my room instead, before I put the key card on the door I looked at her door again. I put the card on the back pocket of my jeans and went to her door. I was still unsure if I should knock. I looked down at my feet, asked God for help, took a long deep breath and finally I knocked. |
