Caught Between Two Worlds (paul stanley x oc fic)

Part 19

Later that day....

Paul and Ava were walking around Hollywood, as Ava was still feeling uncomfortable with what had gone on earlier that day. "I still cant believe it....Dakota and.....ACE of all people..."

Paul laughed at this and said smugly "well now you know how she felt a couple months ago..."

Ava punched Paul in the arm in response as they continued to walk down Hollywood Blvd. "so are you ready for the photoshoot tonight" Paul asked Ava.

Ava sighed slightly " I don't know...I mean....ive been known not that take direction well....." Paul smirks slightly at this and says suggestively "what do you mean that you cant take direction well...I mean in the bedroom---"

Ava cuts off his statement with another punch to the arm, but this time harder, which makes Paul wince as he grabs at his upper arm in pain "ok ok ok you don't take direction well...geeze" as Ava laughs "what I meant is that I don't take direction well when being photographed...I don't know why but when a camera is in my face and the photographer is shouting stuff I just freeze up..."

"aww youll do fine I promise...plus the photographer....Norman Seeff hes suppose to be really good, youll be in good hands and we'll all be there.." Paul said reassuringly.

"now come on we didn't get up early to just mope around in Hollywood, we came to sightsee!" Paul said excitedly trying to get Ava off the photoshoot, which she obviously was nervous about. Ava laughed at Paul as he started taking pictures of the walk of fame, as he dragged her along with him.

As they continued to walk down the Hollywood Walk of Fame, taking pictures of them both in front of different stars, Ava noticed someone in the camera lens as she was about to take a picture of Paul in front of Graumans Chinese theater.

"oh crap....." Ava said as she laid eyes on Ace and Dakota walking across the street. "Hey weren't you going to take a picture of me?" Paul asked as Ava took the camera away from her face as she continued watching Ace and Dakota walking down the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Paul followed Ava's line of sight and noticed Ace and Dakota. "oh come on now your just holding a grudge Ava" Paul said snapping Ava out of her thoughts.

"well how would you feel know your cousin is doing it with Ace who we all know is involved with someone"

"well as of now he's involved with your cousin..." Paul said casually as he took the camera out of Ava's hands and took the picture of himself in front of Graumans. "

oh you know what I mean he has a girlfriend....does she think hes just gonna dump that girl for her...I mean we all know that he has one night stands but he will always go back to her" "well I think your just going to have to let her figure that out for herself..its gonna hurt but it has to be done now come on let's keep walking" as Paul put his arm around Ava's shoulder as they both start walking in the opposite direction of where Ace and Dakota were at.

"well back to the conversation we were having before about the photo shoot tonight...cause im nervous still" "well from what I heard from peter is that they will be providing some stuff to help with nerves" "oh god...you know what that means...Peter and Ace are gonna get so wasted" Ava laughed. "yeah thatll be real fun to watch...I just hope they don't go overboard"

Later that night at the studio......

Ava and Paul got out of their rental car, in full makeup and costume outside of the studio where they were going to shoot the album artwork for their second album "Hotter Than Hell". As they were walking up to the door Ava stopped in her tracks.

"I cant do this..." Paul took a step towards her "what are you talking about he's just going to take some pictures of us that's all..."

"yeah I guess your right what could happen anyways" Ava said with the shake of her head and they both continue towards the door and knocked. A couple seconds later the door was opened by a man with a long face and long blonde hair.

"AH good you both are here we've been waiting for you..." the man said as the pair walking into the huge room. All Ava saw were a mass of people, men and women, some of which were covered in silver paint and nothing else. "what the hell did we walk into" Ava whispered to Paul. "I have no idea...I guess it was Norman's idea"

Ava walked over to a table that was filled with different types of alcohol. "what are you doing?" Paul asked as Ava just started mixing herself a drink "what does it look like im doing....if im gonna be here I have to be buzzed or else im walk outta here right now 'cause this is some weird shit...."

Just then a girl with a bird head on walked by in nothing but her birthday suit. "well I might as well join you.." Paul said with as his eyebrows raised as the girl walking by. "make me something ANYTHING!" At that Ava started mixing Paul the drink that she had just made for herself and then passed it to him.

"here....but I have to warn you..its pretty strong so don't-" At that Paul downed the drink in one shot, which was followed by a face that made it looked like he just sucked on 100 lemons. "hey are you ok?" Ava asked as she sipped at her own drink. "just peachy....now let's get this show on the road.." Paul said as he walked over to where the rest of the band was, as Norman was taking their pictures amongst the mob of people partying around them.
