Miranda

I woke up with some KING by Satyricon blasting in my ears. It read 6:30am, I decided to get up and shower since I had work. Aleksi must be sleeping because he always works on editing the songs.

Flashbacks came to me when Joonas dropped me home last night, I wish he would just kiss me again! I began getting on my undergarments and looked for somewhere to wear:

I did up the fastening of my corset, the long sleeve black shirt looked like a dress. I sat up on my bed and zipped up my boots.

My half black and red hair I put it up in a high ponytail and I put on my favorite liquid lipstick Cider by Blackmoon cosmetics. I headed out to work. The day was passing rather slowly, I stood near the counter drinking my coffee and looked at the books checking off the customers.

Until I saw Joel and Aleksi standing outside of my salon. I saw Lilith and Suzette oogling the two.

"Holy shit you didn't tell me Aleksi was that cute! Damn if I didn't have a boyfriend. I'd take him." Lilith says and Suzette agreed.

"The tall blonde is quite good looking! Go lady they look like they want to talk to you." Suzette says pushing me out of the salon and I laughed. My heeled boots clicking against the ground.

"Hello boys! What do I owe this pleasure?" I asked the black haired and blonde haired one. They both pull me into a hug, well a group hug.

  "We need to talk it's about you and Joonas." Joel says and Aleksi agrees nodding.

"Is he okay? Did something happen?" I ask worriedly.

"No he's fine! But it's your feelings related to him." Aleksi chimes in, I looked at my dark haired friend confused.

  "Aleksi what are you talking about?" I ask confused.

  "Oh my God, they're both worse than each other. Even she's blind as a fucking bat!" Joel grumbles leaning his head against the wall. Aleksi chuckled at this, and shoved Joel playfully. They looked so cute together Joel and Aleksi, I could see them together.

"Whatever do you mean Hokka?" I ask him.

"God this girl is so stubborn! You're in love with Joonas and you're pretending that you're not!" Aleksi spelled it out for me and my jaw dropped.

  "How do you know?" I asked my dark haired friend and he smiles and says.

"Because at the way you two look at each other!" Both men said together, and laughed. My eyes went wide, they fucking knew.

  "Alright fine yes I'm in love with him, what do I do?" I ask Joel and he had a smirk on his face.

  "Come to my place Friday, I'm throwing a party and wear something eye catching." Joel winks at me and walks away. What a diva!

   Aleksi stared after him with a dreamy gaze.

"Aleksi, do you like Joel?" I asked my dark haired and he looks down.

"Yeah I do, but I doubt he'd go for me." He says to me, I held his hand and hugged him.

"Are you kidding me? Have you seen yourself Aleksi? You've got great hair, nice beautiful baby blue eyes and a nice face. You're such a good person for putting up with my shit." I say with a smile.

  We stood in our hug for a while and we look at each and Aleksi says and places a kiss on the top of my forehead. I loved him like a brother!

  "I'll tell you what! Let's both be brave and tell me our crushes that we like them. If they reject us! Drinks are on me." Aleksi says.

"Now that sounds like a plan!" I say with a giggle.

"I got to get to the studio otherwise Hokka will kick my ass." Aleksi says, and I waved at him.

Joel and Aleksi would be so cute together, I think of my two friends who were always together. From what I noticed Joel always was affectionate with Aleksi. When I would watch their interaction, I was happy that Aleksi had the courage.

Joonas

  We were running through practice, I was playing the riff of Dark side and I messed up. Niko, Olli and Tommi were sitting around with a surprised look on their.

"Dude what the hell! You never mess up your riffs." Olli points out noticing something was off about me. I groaned, Aleksi and Joel were walking in and talking.

  "Where the heck have you two been?" Tommi asks, while messing around with his drumsticks.

"Oh we saw our lovely Miranda and paid her a visit. Didn't we Aleksi?" Joel smirks and looks in my direction. Once again, my good old friend jealousy hit me. I shrugged it off.

  "So what's the tea?" Niko asks Joel and Aleksi.

"Well J-Joel asked her to come to his party on Friday." Aleksi says, we all nodded. Something was off about Aleksi today, Joel and him were sitting close and he laid his head on his shoulder.

"Hey Aleksi, do you mind if I speak with you a moment?" I asked the dark haired one. He nods and gets up following me out.

I made sure that we were outside in private and I blurted out.

"Do you like Joel?" I asked the dark haired one, his eyes cast down onto the ground.

"I uh yes." He says, in nod with a smile.

   "Well can I be honest with you?" I tell the dark haired one.

Aleksi nods and gestures for me to go on, I was starting to think of Miranda.

"I think I'm in love with Miranda, and I cannot stop thinking about her." I say leaning against the wall.

"Then you should go for it Joonas, for all I know she could feel the same way." The dark haired one said and clapped me on my shoulder and walked inside.

  I thought of her a lot. She occupied my mind all the time. The way her hall black and red hair flowed around her, the way her emerald green eyes shone when she was happy. The way her lips felt against mine, the sparks that flew.

God, you've bewitched me Miranda La Fay.
