Caught Between Two Worlds (paul stanley x oc fic)

Part 10

As soon as Ava got into the hotel building her heartbeat finally started to go back to normal. She looked behind her outside the hotel and saw no one in the parking lot and breathed a sigh of relief and followed the crew member towards the elevator. Once inside, they start the fast ascent. Ava stood against the handrail towards the back of the elevator and watched as they passed level after level of floors in the elevator until finally the elevator halts to a stop and the doors open. The crew member turns towards the right as soon as they leave the area where all the elevators are, with Ava hot on his heels.

The crew member finally speaks up and says "you know I didn't notice you at the concert? And well to be frank you....you don't look to be the groupie type"

Ava laughs in response and says "oh so all the groupies look the same then...." Which causes the man to stammer making Ava laugh harder as they continue down the hallway.

"by the way....I'm not a groupie just a friend and fan of the band..."

the man glances back at her with a smile on his face as he replied "yeah...that's what all the groupies say..." as he stops in his tracks and turns in front of a door

"well here you are....have....fun....Ava" as he knocks on the door and walks back down the hallway.

Ava knocked again on the door, which was met with a faint "come in" from inside. She opened the door and entered the hotel room and looked around for anyone in the room when she notices the bathroom door slightly open. She walked towards the bathroom and opened the door fully and saw Paul standing in front of the mirror in full Starchild makeup and costume still.

When she walked fully into the bathroom behind Paul, he noticed and smiled at her in the mirror. "you know we waited for you...well I kind of stalled them for awhile after the concert..cause I wanted you to come back with us"

"I know...when I came back you guys were already gone...so one of the crew members gave me a ride here" At this Ava noticed Paul's facial expression turn hard, angry. "Did he try anything with Ava because if he did--"

"well he kinda tried to but I shot him down...I said I was a friend of yours...and he didn't believe me.." Paul's reflection in the mirror rolls his eyes at that.

"of course he wouldn't believe you...he thinks that you're a groupie because those are the only girls that hang around after the concerts...no offense" Ava laughs slightly and steps to be next to him, standing in front of the bathroom sink and looks down at all the products scattered across it. "it's to take off the makeup" Paul answers as he grabs a hand towel and dabs it with makeup remover. As Paul moves his hand towards his face, Ava stops him and takes the towel from his hand.

"why don't you let me do that...sit down..." as she motions towards the edge of the bathtub, where Paul sits down as Ava takes the towel in her hand and begins to wipe away his makeup. "so what do you like better?" Paul asks.

"What do you mean?"

"well makeup or no makeup...." Ava stops taking off the makeup for a second and ponders her answer and finally says with a smile

"well it depends..."

"on what?"

"its depends on which person I like better...the Starchild or Paul Stanley...and right now its kind of a tie" Paul laughs as Ava finishes taking off his makeup and Ava takes a step back to examine her work.

"well I think I did a pretty good job..." Paul gets up from the edge of the bathtub and goes to stand back in front of the mirror to see if she got all the makeup, and after a second of examining he smiles and turns around to face her.
