ANDYS POV
I made my way down the corridor and called out
“Hey Ash wait up”
He turns around and leans against the wall. When I finally catch up, and with no one else around I went straight into my argument that I’ve been rehearsing in my head
“Ash, I’ve known you a long time, and because of that, I can read your facial expressions pretty well. I saw you ogling Lauren get off the plane, and before you even put into motion whatever scheme you’ve got going on in your head, I want you to know that it’s just a cute little crush, but just make sure you’re not putting the band in jeopardy by fucking her once and never call. I can see a situation like that getting really awkward for everyone. So please, dont think with your dick and don’t try anything with Lauren, at least until we finish working with her, or at least until you figure out if your feelings for her are legitimate. You’ll just cause too many problems and we literally and figuratively cannot really afford that what with the new album we’re writing an---“
I’m cut off by Ashley forcing me through an unlocked door into a maintenance room, pinning me against the door and forcefully pushing his lips on mine. I didn’t even think of it as a kiss, How can I? It’s Ashley. He’s my friend! But I feel like I’ve subconsciously wanted something like this for so long. This can’t be real, but this is actually happening when I feel his stubbly cheek rub against mine as he parted my lip with his tongue as kiss me deeply. I barely get a chance to reciprocate before he ends the kiss and before I know it I’m standing back out in the hallway looking at Ashley’s face dumbstruck.
ASHLEYS POV
I’ve needed to do this for so long to see for myself if the feelings I have for any are real, or just a product of my over-active sex drive. But until now have never really found the right context. I mean, there was the one time when STWOF was released and we got the news that it had done better than we imagined, the only thing stopping me then was that we weren’t alone, unlike now. I part his lips with my tongue and savour this moment. His lips are so soft and I can feel his body relax a little bit. We continue like this for what feels like only a second but in reality it most likely over a minute. I can feel myself getting hard and realize he isn’t kissing me back. He’s either horrified at the situation or innocently confused. If I carry on much longer he’s going to suspect something is up. I end the kiss and drag him back into the hallway.
Once it has sunk it that it’s actually did happen, Andy stares at me in awe.
“You can’t really expect to know what I’m think, can you? I mean, did you see that coming by ‘reading my facial expressions’?” I say in a mock tone. This is my cover story for that kiss, it looks like he’s buying it.
“And did you really think that I would put the band’s future in jeopardy by sleeping with some chick? How can me fucking some chick mess with what we have as a band, we’re stronger than that.” I argue
I’ve turned the argument into something bigger than what it was originally about, and Andy is probably so confused about that kiss that he’s thinking more about that than anything else.
“You’re…you’re right Ash, I know that you probably didn’t mean anything by it. Th-the whole looking at Lauren thing I mean” Andy clarifies.
“The whole thing that happened in there” I gesture to the closet “That was just my ego getting the better of me. I just hate when anyone thinks I’m predictable. I think we should keep it quiet too, I’d hate it if Juliet found out and took it the wrong way. She’d rip anyone a new one for kissing you, even if it was me.” I laugh
Andy agrees and we make our way back to everyone so we can get home for rest before working on new material.
