Black Rose

Chapter 3

Ariel's POV

I watched Matt take his seat shaking my head. I cleared my throat and turned to continue to introduce myself to the rest of the group. Brian was still the closest to me and by now he was smiling widely. He was another really good looking man! He towered over me standing at least 6ft with shoulder length black hair and the brightest green eyes. Although he was wearing a jacket you could still tell he was every but as toned as Matt and based on the neck tattoos I could only imaging how many tats would be caressing his chiseled torso. Hmmm I could..... No girl get it together your a professional! Man this assignment is going to be harder than I thoughgt. I extended my hand and continued introductions. When his hand touched mine it was like electricity shoot through me. Whats that about?

"I really like you, no one ever talks to Matt like that." Brian laughed. The others agreed walking towards me and all I could do was blush and smile. Jimmy was next to introduce himself. He plays rhythm guitar standing at 5'10" with dark hair and eyes. He was not as attractive as the other two but I couldn't help but feel at ease with him. His presence was comforting. Next was Zack lead guitar and back up vocals. He was at least 6ft and had long messy blonde hair. I couldn't tell what color his eyes were because he was wearing sun glasses but he was smirking at me and you could tell this man was definitely a trouble maker.

Taking my seat I started with some basic questions what inspired their music, What got you into music etc. Me being a fan I knew they answers but I wanted to warm everyone up and get the conversation flowing.

Matt interrupted rolling his eyes, " We've been asked all this before didn't you do any research? I thought this interview was so they fans can get to know more about us not reread the same information."

"Yes this interview is so the fans can get to know the band and yes I've done my research. I am trying to warm everyone up since your PR team is working overtime trying to keep you out of the gossip columns I figure we should stick to the music and the more endearing qualities of the rest of the band. My goal is to give readers something to like. I have been an extreme fan since The Black album but the more time I spend is this room with you the less of a fan I'm becoming so how about you stick to being a musician and let me do my job."

Matt was fuming.

"Yup, I definitely like her" Brian whispered.

Shelly interrupted us and suggested we take a break and have lunch and then move the interview to the recording studio so I could see them in their element. I agreed.

I felt better after lunch the guys we're really fun to be around, all except for Matt who stayed glued to his phone the whole time.

We're currently sitting in recording studio B chatting when Zach suggested they play around with their instruments. A private show from my favorite band H**l YES!

Zach and Jimmy grabbed their guitar, Brian sat behind his drums and Matt went to the piano and started singing. They played a couple songs and I was squealing like a kid.

"Guys this is probably unprofessional but this is like a dream come true for me, can I play the next song with you?"

"Your a musician too?" Brian gasped.

"Yes, obviously not in the same league as you guys but I do play guitar, piano, and vocals." Its been a couple years since my band days but I was still proud of my talent.

the guys just watched as I sat between Zanch and Jimmy, picking up Zach's guitar I began playing and singing chapter four my favorite BR song.

"Holy sh*t! your the lead of Vampire Vixens, I knew you looked familiar! I watched you guys play that dive bar, what was called? Oh ya sonny's when I visited my grandparents a few years back. You guys f*****g rocked!" Brian was shouting.

"Ya that was my high-school band, we had so much fun!"

"Couldn't have been that good since I've never heard of you" Matt snorted.

Just then Shelly pushed through the door capturing everyone's attention.

" They're has been a change of plans thats all for today. Ariel, I spoke to your editor and we agreed that you'll be coming with us for the first leg of the tour to continue getting to know the band. We need the positive publicity from your piece and you need experience and since we didn't get off to a great start maybe the tour will make a bigger fan out of you."

"Hells yes! it will be a blast" Brian was up out of his seat now engulfing me is a hug. He smelt so good, I melted into his embrace.

"Six weeks with her No!" Matt shouted.

"Ignore him dear, Ive make all the arrangements you can speak to your editor if you need to but the car will be picking you up on Wednesday so be ready."

Six weeks with the band? Pinch me am I dreaming? Wow I would have so much to write about this could launch my career. Six weeks with Matt? This could break my career. I don't know if I should scream or cry. How am I going to handle being close to these sexy a** men for this long? What the h**l have I gotten myself into?
