Calm Before The Storm [Mattie, Erica]

[Matthew Devlin]

Matt was grinning now, obviously hearing the girls surprise, hearing her distaste for the fact that Jared wanted to stay and practice, and not go off on a fcuk fest. He chuckled under his breath, making sure they couldn't hear it. He pulled his hat down low over his eyes and made a shooing motion to Erica. Who he knew blamed him right now. He could live with that.

He just watched her go, raised eyebrow and all. He pushed that button again and smiled. “You could have gone.” He replied easily. Why Jared had stayed was a wonder. The girl usually had him wrapped around her fingers. On a tight leash. “You've got a choice.” He grabbed a water and a soda from the fridge behind him and held them up to see, shaking them a little. “What'll it be?”

[Erica Daniels]

Erica glared even more, pointing to Matt and frowning. “But I came here to see you.” She huffed softly and pressed him back against the wall, kissing him and cupping him in her hand one last time. She made sure to give him a teasing run that would have him half hard too quickly and then he nodded mutely.

“Fine. I'll see you later. Enjoy your little practice.” She turned to Matt, tone pure acid. “Enjoy working my boyfriend to death sir.” She left the room a moment later, skirt tangling around her legs, muttering something along the lines of stupid fcuked up teacher and his need to practice too goddamn much.

[Jared Hayes]

Jared groaned when she pressed him to the wall. She made sure to leave him the way he was too, which wasn't too much of a good thing. She did have him on a tight leash, but he tried the best he could for Mattie. He didn't want the man to hate him, and well... He shrugged a bit at the other's comment. He could have gone, yeah, but he wanted to stay a bit more than that. He pointed to the water, running fingers through his hair and taking a deep breath.

He watched her leave, just shaking his head and biting on his bottom lip. He'd have to make it up to her later. He knew he'd have to.

[Matthew Devlin]

Mattie nodded his head and grabbed the water, bringing the soda along too. He needed a drink anyway, especially after that insufferable little.. God did he hate her. He opened the door and slipped inside, holding the water out to him. His eyes traveled over Jared and he noticed how wound up he was. He just chuckled lightly and popped open the soda, taking a large gulp of it. Dammit this was going to be a long day.

He sat himself down on a chair and smiled. “Take a break for a few minutes, really. Miss. Daniels is rather exhausting.” She sure as hell drained the life out of him. Especially when she was just in the room, it drove him absolutely nuts. Really it did. He just sipped on his drink a little more and ruffled Jared's hair. “So. I assume I won't be seeing you the rest of the day after this huh.”

[Erica Daniels]

Erica stomped off cursing Matt all the way back to her reserved practice room. She slammed the door behind her and kicked over her cd player. “Stupid fcuking teacher, stupid Jared.. Ugh!” She hated being turned down, what made it even worse was that it seemed to goddamn easy for him to turn her down today. She'd gone there just to see him, to get him to come away with her for a little while.

But No! He had to stay and sing for that fcuking teacher of his. What the hell did that man have over him that made Jared want to stay there and do.. god forbid.. work. When he could be playing with her, doing something that kept him in shape, and had him enjoying himself. He hadn't looked like he was having much fun singing anyway. She sat on the floor, on her practice mat and pouted.

[Jared Hayes]

Jared's lips quirked up when he heard him chuckle and he shrugged, taking the water from him and taking a nice sip. His skin was a little heated, and he held the water to his cheek for a moment. "Probably not." He smiled innocently at him. "I have to make it up to her." He stretched, eyes closed. A break sounded nice, he needed one. In order to wind himself back down.

"You're always helping me, I shouldn't be playing around with it." He said quietly, looking down at his hands and the water bottle held between them. "And I shouldn't let her interrupt us like that. I didn't know she was coming." Though she tended to show up all the time, no matter where he was, or what he w as doing. Just one of her many talents, he supposed.

[Matthew Devlin]

Mattie's eyebrow rose at his wording and he snorted softly. “Yeah. I figured that much. I've got to go home early anyway.” He grinned. “I've got a new song to work on. One that needs to be you know, recorded. Which means, my place.” He ruffled his hair again and brought his soda to his mouth, draining a bit more of it.

“I try to.” He snickered. “Jared, dear Jared. Please be careful what you say.” Matt slid his hand under Jared's chin and lifted his face up. He brushed his lips along his and smiled a little, just a little though. “She has a lovely way of showing up when shes..” He paused. Least wanted. “Got nothing else to do.” His smile said he wasn't thinking exactly what he'd said. It was clear.
