With These Strings, Our Fingers Bleed
KISS
I sat down and stared at the cold coffee in front of me. For a signing, it was really quiet. It was strange. I looked around at Jake and Ashley and could see they were as bored as I was. We were opening a new guitar store and honestly, we'd expected a lot more people than what was here. I sighed and stood up, going over to look at the B. C. Rich guitars. My old guitar was starting to wear. I hated it when it happened, but it did give me the opportunity to buy a new one, which I absolutely loved. I picked one up and strummed the opening chords to KISS's Shout It Out Loud.
"Sounds good."
I turned around and found myself staring at Gene Simmons. I coughed.
"H-Hi."
He smiled. "Nice crotch."
I blushed then realized what he meant. I had the studding over my crotch, like he had with his stage clothes. I nodded.
"Yea, you've always been an inspiration to me."
He nodded. "That's good."
"Yea."
"I've listened to your band. You guys are pretty good."
I smiled, thrilled he listened to us. "Thanks."
"Honestly, though, your playing could be improved."
I swallowed hard. "Really?"
He nodded. "It could."
I nodded. "Alright, I'll work on it."
He smiled and stared off behind me, a look of concentration crossing his face. I turned back to the other guitars and put the one I was holding back on the wall.
"How about - No, never mind."
I turned back. "What?"
"It's nothing, just a stupid idea."
"I'm sure it's not."
"Well, I could help you."
I smiled and nodded. "That would be pretty cool."
"How about it then?"
"Sure."
"When do you guys finish here?"
I glanced at my watch. "In about half an hour."
"I'll pick you up here then?"
I nodded. "OK."
He walked out and I went back to the table. Ashley looked at me.
"Who is she?"
"Huh?"
"The girl making you smile like a dork."
I shook my head. "I just met Gene Simmons."
Jake stared at me. "You didn't bring him over because?"
"Shut up." I sat down and closed my eyes.
I sat up and packed my stuff up, making sure I had the right guitar case. Ashley and I had the same one. I pulled it onto my back and then stood up.
"Catch you guys at practice tomorrow."
They nodded at me and I walked out. I couldn't see Gene anywhere so I looked over at the girls all screaming over something. There seemed to be a new album out but I couldn't see which band. Arms wrapped around my waist and I jumped.
"Hey."
I turned around to find Gene looking at me. "Hey. You scared me."
"I noticed." He smirked and led me over to a car with blacked out windows. He opened the door for me and I climbed in. Now I knew how it felt when fans got to meet with us. Gene climbed in next to me and called out to his driver. The car started moving and I leant back in my seat.
"Can I tell you something, Jinxx?"
"Of course."
"Your guitar playing is brilliant."
I frowned. "Then why did you tell me otherwise?"
"Because otherwise I wouldn't have been able to do this."
He leaned over and I felt his lips against mine. My eyes widened and I pulled back.
"W-What?"
"I've liked you since first hearing you, Jinxx."
I licked my lips. "R-Really?"
He nodded. "Who wouldn't?"
I swallowed hard and shrugged. "I hate to say this but I-I'm not gay."
"Jinxx, I know you like me. The way you acted around me in the guitar shop told me that."
I shook my head. He kissed me again, more forcefully and I struggled against him for a few seconds before I melted into it. Maybe he was right. I hesistated before wrapping an arm around his neck. I just felt so right. Gene's arms slid around my waist and he pulled me onto his lap, our lips not disconnecting at all. His tongue traced my lower lip and I opened my mouth for him. His tongue slid into my mouth and he explored it. I moaned quietly. I didn't know why but I wanted more of him. He pulled away slightly, breathing hard. I realized I had been holding my breath and I let it out, panicking slightly at the lack of air in my lungs. He gently kissed me again.
"It's ok, Jinxx."
I nodded. "M-Maybe you're right."
He smiled. "There's no maybe about it."
He kissed me again and I didn't struggle, I just kissed back. His mouth opened slightly and I slid my tongue into his mouth. He tasted sweet, like cherries and strawberries, mixed with something that was uniquely him. I slid my tongue slightly deeper into his mouth. The taste was almost addicting. I couldn't get enough of it. He pulled away, smirking.
"I thought you weren't gay?"
I blushed. "I guess I can make an exception."
He smiled. "I'll drop you off. I'll take you out for dinner tonight?"
I nodded. "I'd like that."
"Tell my driver your address then."
I chuckled and gave the driver my address before leaning back into Gene. His body was so warm. I leant my head on his shoulder and smiled as he kissed my forehead. I didn't understand what was happening right now, but I was happy it was. I knew that for sure. Gene slid his hand into mine and squeezed it. I blushed and moved as close as I could to him. His smile made me feel warm on the inside. I never understood anything about love but the only words I can think of is that I love him. I didn't know why.
"Jinxx?"
"Hmm?"
"Have you ever felt something and not know why?"
I stared at him. It was as if he could read my thoughts. "Yea. Why?"
"Just wondering."
I nodded and sighed as the driver pulled up outside my house. I didn't want to leave. Gene lifted my head and gently kissed me. I kissed him back and sighed as he pulled away.
"I'll pick you up soon."
I nodded. "OK."
I clambered out the car and leant back in to kiss Gene once again. Did I say his lips were addicting? I waved at him as the car drove off and I smiled to myself. I turned around and unlocked my door. I dumped my guitar on my couch and ran upstairs to choose what to wear tonight.
Plz update!
