I'm sorry (A James Hetfield story)

Damage Inc.

7am came quickly (both phones beeping)

I stood up from the bed, Denise was still asleep, I was going to jump on the bed, but that wouldn't have been very cool, I remember as a kid or a teenager, my brother lightly punched me to get up for school, good times, I got kneeled on the bed and leaned over on to Denise.

"Wake up sleepy head." I whispered; Denise rolled over to smiled at me.

"7 already?" Yes! and so, Denise got out of bed, she grabbed my hand, and I pulled her back on the bed with me, so much for getting up early. I kissed Denise again and the doorbell rang, God it better not be Lars!  or the guys. I got off the bed quick, I put my boxers and pants on and ran down the stairs, well what do you know, it was Lars, how the hell does he do that, he must speed or something, from Los Angeles, to where the new house it, good God! too damn early! 7am!

"Well, hello!" Oh my God, he speaks so loudly but I love him, I winced at his voice.

"Good morning and what do you want?" I hung on the door frame and yawned.

"To help you and Denise move your shit from her apartment to this, new place of yours, so hey, did you get some last light?" Lars winked at me. uh What? hell, no and that's not your business.

"Like you care, no!" I gave Lars the stink eye, Denise came down the stairs to see Lars and I.

"And hello to you too." I stopped Lars from, trying to get in the door to hug Denise.

"James! let Lars in." oh fine! but no ass grabbing man! so, I let Lars in the house.

"Hi." Denise smirked at me; Lars gave Denise a friendly hug.

"Hi, so when's the wedding?" What? what wedding? who the hell told you?

"What wedding?" Lars looked at me and smirked.

"Come on man, we all know you asked Denise." I, uh what!

"That shit is private!" I'm so mad right now!

"James, it's fine! Lars, we are not "engaged," I don't know who told you or didn't tell you, but we are not really engaged, we are talking about it, but not yet." Denise tugged on Lars's jacket.

"Okay jeez! What did you do to her Het? She's turning into you and she's blushing at me." good!

"Yeah, so where are the other two?" I looked out the window and then Denise walked up to me and wrapped her arms around me, we kissed for a moment, Lars just stood there.

"I don't know." Hmm yeah okay. Denise took my hand in hers, I smiled at Denise.

"So, what's going on with you two? you're both quite." Lars looked at me and Denise.

"Uh no reason." I was beginning to sound like Beavis, from that show, ha-ha.

"Um, I will be right back, I need to use the bathroom." Denise gave me a kiss, I thought for a moment, as I saw Denise walk to the bathroom alone, there was a half bath downstairs here.

"Lars, I will be right back." I walked down the hall to the bathroom, I heard Lars say, "alright, I'll be here, not doing anything, but wait for you and Denise," I heard in the distance, I walked up to the bathroom door, sounded like Denise just flushed the toilet, so I knocked on the door, and then I opened the door and I walked into the bathroom, Denise had a smile on her face.

"James? Hi." Denise gave me a look, I guess she was surprised to see me.

"Hiya." I walked up to Denise and wrapped my arms around her waist.

"What are you doing in here?" Denise raised one eyebrow at me.

"I wanted to be alone with you, for a few minutes." I was being honest with her.
