"Hey, you're the guy that introduced us to Michael. I am Ray it's nice to finally meet you," Ray says moving from Gerad's side and extending his hand out.
"Hey, mate pleasure is all mine. Great performance tonight," Luke says smiling toward Ray.
I look over at Gerard who seemed just as angry as when we were at the studio. A part of me liked it, that he was jealous. I just hope that it doesn't come to bite me in the ass.
"Aunty Y/n!" I hear a little voice scream down the hallway. I peer around Gerard to see a Bandit running full speed towards me.
"Now if it isn't my favorite little princess. Come here sweetie," I say kneeling down to whisk her up into my arms.
She giggles and wraps her hands around my neck and I squeeze her tightly swaying as I do.
"I think you get more beautiful every time I see you. I am going to need you to stop getting so big though, you're making me feel old," I say looking up at her.
"No that's you Aunty Y/n. I want to look like you when I am older," Bandit says hiding her face in her hands with embarrassment.
"I let her out of my sight for a second and you let her go to her? Are you brain dead," I hear Lyn-Z say to Gerard.
"She can see our daughter Lny. It's not like she is going to give her the plague," Gerard says.
"Ya know, I think I saw some candy in your Uncle's dressing room. Why don't you go and see if I'm right," I say letting her down.
I stand back up and look over to see Michael getting his ear chewed off by Frank about guitars and Luke talking to Ray about some comic book.
I gauge which conversation I would rather join because standing with Gerard and his wife after being intertwined in his arm a few hours ago makes me want to crawl out of my skin.
"So ya if you are ever in town again I will defiantly have to have you over so you could see the whole collection," Ray says to Luke.
"God Ray do you know how to talk about anything besides comic books," I say jokingly hitting Ray.
"Your friend here is great. Why haven't you brought him around more often," Ray says looking between us. Obviously trying to gauge how I feel about him.
"Ray! Y/n! Would you guys be down to go out for drinks," Frank yells over towards us.
"Ya sure man, Luke would you wanna come too," Ray says.
I look up at Luke and he looks at me.
"I mean. Are you going to go," Luke says.
"She can't. I need her to edit some of the videos tonight so we can get an idea of how much more we need," Gerard chimes in.
"Oh come on Gerard. We are staying here tonight. She doesn't have to work every second of the day," Ray says.
"Ya Y/N can get some footage of us out too just ya know...hanging," Frank says.
"Let her go, Gerard. That way the three of us could spend some....family time together," Lyn-Z says snaking her hands over his collar bones.
I hold back the vomit that was sure to come up at that moment. I don't say anything in protest to either side, sometimes it's better not to say anything.
"Fine," Gerard says sternly. To say I was shocked is an understatement. I try not let my own emotions to get the best of me, but I look at Gerard.
He takes a quick look at me and then towards Luke before turning to Lyn-Z and placing his hand on her face.
