90. James Hetfield // 2 x 4 PT.2

Y/n's pov
•••after the bar•••

I was walking side by side with Jason, smiling and laughing. He got his ass beat in pool by me and so did James. Jason was the sweetest guy I had ever met, we had known each other since birth. Our parents hoped one day we would get married but him and I only saw one another as siblings. It's hard to grow up with someone and not view them as siblings or maybe just friends. He's like my brother, he treats me like his sister and calls me that as well. He defends me and calls me sister from another mister which is cute.

"So...you're not staying around forever this time, right?" He asked me with a sigh as I nodded.

"Yup. Soon enough, I'll find a spot and stay until someone or something changes that. Unless someone convinces me to stay here, then for now, I'm gone in a month," I reply with my hands deep in my pockets of my jeans I had on.

Jason stopped in front of his car and looked at me with an upset look, "Well...I guess I will see you tomorrow then?"

I thought about it and shook my head 'no', "I don't think so. I'm not sure however."

Jason frowned before nodding, "Do you need a ride?"

I shook my head, "My hotel is in walking distance."

He seemed hesitant about this but didn't fight me about it. We said our goodbyes to each other as he got in his car and left. I sighed, knowing that my hotel was in walking distance but not for 2 miles. I shivered from the air and began to walk away as I suddenly saw James, Kirk, and Lars leave the bar together before James saw me. He said their goodbyes to them and made his way over to me as I smiled a little.

"Hey, what're you doing out here all alone? Jason not a gentleman or somethin'?" James asked me as his tall figure towered over me, making my heart race and my body heat up.

I knew I shouldn't fall in love with a rockstar, because I know from experience, they love you with all their might and go ahead take a stake right through it, killing it. I was dating Steven Adler for a while before he openly cheated on me, so I dumped his ass after 2 years of dating. Never again would I go back down that path.

"Jason is a gentleman, but I turned down a ride from him because my hotel is in walking distance," I stated through chattering teeth, catching James's eye, "Plus, I like walking anyways."

"Oh, honey, you're cold," He then took his leather jacket off and swung it over my shoulders, to which I hesitantly putting my arms through the holes as I felt warm automatically, "Feel better now?"

I looked up at him and nodded as I smiled a little, "Very much. But I am not keeping this, just an FYI."

He rolled his eyes at me with his toothy smile before laughing huskily, "Yes you will. Anyways, let me give you a ride. Pretty woman like you can't be wandering the streets alone and it's in my favor," He suggested as I wanted to refuse but something intrigued me.

"I don't know..." I softly mumbled. I mean, it's James Hetfield for christ sakes...I've only ever heard about him and seen him in magazines sometimes, he was always attractive but I was too afraid for a relationship, "Do you even know where I'm staying?"

He shrugged his shoulders and ran his fingers through his blonde short hair with his muscles flexing through his tight white t-shirt. I blushed a little at the sight, "I mean, I'll take you and you just give me directions, sweethearts."

I inhaled and exhaled the cold air, feeling it sting my throat as I nodded, "Fine. I won't turn that down.."

He then began walking and motioned for me to follow him as I did, I expected a car however but was greeted with a sexy looking Harley Davidson motorcycle. I smiled a little internally as he hopped on and rocked his hips to adjust himself before glancing back at me and patting the seat behind him. I slowly approached him, watching him slowly eyeing me down, smirking a little just as I hopped onto the back of the motorcycle and wrapped my arms around his waist.
