Black Rose

chapter one

Ariel's POV

I arrived at Dark Records recording studio 20 minutes ahead of schedule. I took the chief's advice and traded my business attire for a black and white Blood Rose Band tank top, leather jacket, ripped jeans, and DC shoes. Leaving my long and naturally straight hair down in big loose waves. Tucking my note cards and recorder into my purse I headed to reception. As I was about to walk through the door I was pushed aside by and extremely tall man in a hoody sweatshirt with big dark sun glasses on. Hanging off his arm was a tall pencil thin blonde who was wearing more perfume than cloths."Move, I have places to be." he spat. In my surprise all I could do was stand and stare. You couldn't see his face with his hood and glasses on, just plump lips and a well defined jaw. And that sweatshirt did absolutely nothing to hide the wide shoulders and incredible muscles on his arms and chest. Hmm I wonder if they look as good under it or if he has abs to match. Wait What! Shaking my head from these random and indecent thoughts I was finally able to get my feet to cooperate so I could step aside for the rude man. " I'm sorry excuse me" I tried to cheer him with a smile. Shaking his head he stomped away muttering "stupid groupies."

I received my name badge from the front desk and was directed to the conference room where interviews would take place. Breath Ariel just breath! I was so excited I was practically bouncing.

When I arrived the only person in the conference room was Shelly the manager. She proceeded to explain to me that I would interview the group first and then individual members. She gave me a list of topics that were safe to discuss and topics to avoid. I was reminded repeatedly that all gossip relating to the front man Matt King's bad boy ways was strictly off limits as their PR team is trying to clean up his image. I assured her that I wasn't going to write a trashy article I just wanted to get to know the band. The door opened and four out of five bad members walked in. Holly Sh*t! Holly sh*t! It's really them eeek! Brian the drummer was the first to speak, " We're just waiting on Matt like usual but at least he's in the building this time so it shouldn't be too long." He then stood before me to introduce himself. Of course I couldn't rein in my inner fan girl. I squeeled and jumped like a teenager. Calm your t**s woman you need this opportunity I mentally scolded. I quickly composed myself smiling and offered my hand and apologized. Brian smiled warmly back at me but before he could say anything further someone else spoke from the door. " Great its the groupie that made me late because she couldn't move her big a** out of the way." I looked up to see Matt had entered the room and Damn!
