Black Rose

Chapter 4

Ariel's POV

It was Wednesday and the car was scheduled to pick me up at 9:30, we're supposed to Meet the bus at Matt's house. To say I was nervous would be an understatement I was freaking the f**k out! I won't lie my inner fan girl was swooning on cloud nine I have been in love with these guys since I was 15. Hell my bedroom at my parents house still is wall to wall Posters and merchandise. But the professional journalist in me was on edge. Its my first field assignment and I don't know if I can do this.

Exactly 9:30 my door bell rang my ride is here. The driver loaded my bags I got into the black suv. It was a 45 minute drive to Matt's Bel Air mansion. When the steele gates opened I couldn't contain my gasp, It was gorgeous! Even the yard was beautiful, perfectly landscaped grass, flower garden and huge willow trees. When we got to the front Brian came out and invited me inside the tour bus wasn't here yet an Matt wasn't ready. If the outside was beautiful the inside was magnificent with glass chandelier and a winding stair case black fur rug linned the hallway and to the right was a sitting room decorated with blue walls, oversized black leather furniture, a huge flat screen t.v., and a large picture of the band over the fireplace. My mouth was hanging open.

"Welcome home" Brian said.

"You live here, I thought this was Matt's house?"

" It technically is Matt's house but we both live here, we grew up together we're like brothers we share everything" he explained.

Hmm, his voice held such promise I wonder what all they do share. What is wrong with me? I know its been 2 years since I've had a man thats what's wrong. Pushing those inappropriate thoughts aside I made myself comfortable on the couch while Brian went to get his luggage.

About 10 minutes later the tour bus pulled up and Brian came back down stairs caring the rest of his luggage.

"Come on, I'll give you a tour of the bus." he said.

The bus was huge behind the driver seat it was like a small living room with couches, chairs, a table, a small fridge, and what looked like a pantry for snacks. There was a small bathroom complete with a shower.

" Here's the sleeping quarters, we usually only take naps here when we're on the road but sometimes we have to spend a night or two between hotels" He said as he pushed open the door to reveal two bunk beds and a double bed in the corner. Along the other wall was cubbies to store your belongings. Everyone sleeps in the same room? Wait does that mean someone has to share? This just got interesting. My hesitation must have shown on my face because Brian spoke up

"Don't worry the bunks have privacy dividers and we usually stay in hotels most of the time. Matt usually gets the double bed but since your the only girl you have first pick. Shelly doesn't ride with us because she has other clients that she shares her time with so she meets us there" Wait what, I'm the only girl on a bus with four rock gods for six weeks?
