Annabel; two weeks later

“There’s our favorite mute!” Jinxx exclaims as Lizzy, Trinity and myself walk into the studio. I just flip him off before plopping down between Jake and CC. “Not that we don’t love seeing you ladies, why are you here?”

“I just came back from my second vocal lesson and decided to bug you fuckers before heading into the studio.” I reply. My voice still isn’t up to touring standards but it’s getting better.

“Well you sound a lot better.” Jake points out. “That’s good.”

“Andy wouldn’t let me speak at all!” I laugh. “He still has my cigarettes held hostage somewhere.” Everyone just laughs at me. “If any of you would love to help a girl out, please give me a cigarette; I’m going through withdrawal.”

“And face Andy’s wrath?” CC questions. “Not happening love. I’m afraid of that lanky asshole.”

“You and me both.” I chuckle. “Speaking of which, where is he and Ash?”

“Laying down bass tracks in that room.” Jinxx replies, pointing to the only closed door in the area. I get up off the couch and head over to the room. I quietly open the door and find Andy and Ashley going over lyrics for whatever song they were working on.

“Damn, I really thought I’d be able to get a picture to show fans Andley exists.” I joke causing both of them to glare at me. “I’m not sure if the glare is for the joke or the fact I’m speaking.”

“Both.” Andy replies as he pulls me into his lap; wrapping his arms around my waist. “Should you be talking?”

“My vocal coach says I can, just not a lot.” I reply. “So don’t get your Batman boxers in a twist.” He just chuckles before kissing the side of my neck.

“What are you two?” Ashley questions. “I would like to know if I’ve got to give the whole “don’t hurt my cousin or I’ll chop your balls off’ speech or not.”

I look at Andy and he just shrugs. “I don’t think we even know what this is.” I chuckle.

“There’s no labels, just fun.” Andy adds.

“Just don’t hurt her, or your skinny ass is mine.” Ashley says before putting his bass down and leaving the room.

“What brings you here?” Andy asks as I maneuver myself so I’m straddling his lap.

“Wasting time before heading into the studio.” I reply, earning a groan from him. “I’m not recording anything. Sebastian is laying down some drum tracks and Hunter and Lizzy are working on guitars then we’re finally going to work on the song we’re covering.”

“What song did you pick?”

“Bad Romance by Lady Gaga.” I giggle, causing him to roll his eyes. I just sigh before playfully slapping his chest. “That song fucking rocks.”

“You couldn’t be any other song?” He questions.

“We can’t agree on shit.” I chuckle. “So we’re sticking with the song.” He just laughs before gently kissing me.

“You need to start shutting up, I can hear your voice getting raspy again.” He mutters against my lips.

“I’m going to need motivation to keep my lips shut.” I mutter back before he kisses me with more force. He pulls my body closer to his as his tongue parts my lips and begins a battle of dominance with mine. Just as things start getting heated, I pull away. “We can’t do this here.”

“Why the hell not?” Andy asks before attaching his lips back onto mine.

I pull away once more and give him a stern look. “First of all, do you really want to face the wrath of Ashley?” He chuckles and shakes his head no. “Then that’s an amazing reason why we shouldn’t do this here. There is always tonight.”

“We’re going out with the bands tonight remember?” He points out.

A smirk appears on my lips as I lean in to his ear. “Afterwards.” I whisper before kissing his earlobe then his neck before getting off his lap. “See you tonight.” I smile before walking out of the room so the girls and I can go get to the studio and get some work done…
