Phoenix POV
Despite still being slightly hungover from going out for Jesse's birthday last night, I sipped on my vodka and coke. It was 11:30pm so we had half an hour left to go until the New Year arrived.
Jesse was hanging out with the boys because I'd worn him out from dancing for the last two hours, so I was dancing with the girls instead. Once I'd finished my drink I returned to my girls and we continued to dance. I was trying to not get as drunk tonight but I was definitely on the verge of tipsy.
Suddenly, two hands grabbed my hips and, for the briefest moment, I thought it was Jesse but then I realised that whoever it was didn't have the same scent as Jesse so therefore it mustn't be him, however it was still familiar. I spun round, ready to kick this guy in the nuts, but when I saw who it actually was I grinned instead. "Ax!"
Axel Stevenson was yet another one of my favourite guys in the world. He heard me and the girls playing at a bar and asked us if we'd be the opening act to his next tour. And so, Fireproof was born.
"How you doin' sweetheart?" He asked as I hugged him and he spun me round.
Once he put me back down, I answered giddily "I'm great. What about you?" He rolled his eyes and smirked "You know me. Lots of booze, lots of sex, and not enough self-respect." I, too, rolled my eyes and then lightly shoved him but he didn't budge. "Will you ever change?" He chuckled and said in that husky voice that got him anything up to three or four girls a night "You'd hate me if I was any other way sweetheart."
I giggled and chewed on my bottom lip "You're an ass Stevenson." He smirked at my use of his surname and winked at me making me roll my eyes. "You have to admit, it's a nice ass though. Lovin' the hair by the way. Makes you look hotter than normal."
Then, all joking aside, he rested his forehead against mine and apologised. "I'm sorry I missed your birthday Nicky." I sighed and poked him in the ribs making the corner of his lips twitch. "It's fine. I was with my family anyway."
In his own way of making up to me, he offered to buy me a drink as a belated birthday present which I accepted as long as he danced with us for a while. I knew that as soon as he got in the mood he'd leave us to find his latest conquest and I'd missed this guy.
Jesse POV
It was getting close to midnight so I went in search of my girl before the countdown started so I could kiss her as soon as the clock struck twelve.
I found her talking to some random guy that I'd never seen before. Her eyes were sparkling as she looked up at him as though he was the greatest guy in the world.
Was she flirting with his guy?
The thought began to flood my every thought and I could already tell that it was going to drive me insane until I got to the bottom of whatever it was that was going on. He hugged her, making my blood simmer, then he pressed a kiss to her cheek and winked at her before walking over to the bar.
I quickly made my way towards her and, trying not to let my jealousy and possessiveness show, I wrapped my arms around her from behind and murmured against her ear "Hey Princess." She jumped slightly at my voice then turned in my arms to face me. "Hey. You having fun?" I nodded and pecked at her lips.
The guy returned with two drinks in his hands, a beer and a vodka with coke, when he saw me holding her, he asked slightly venomously "Who's this guy?"
Nicky rolled her eyes and answered "Ax, this is my boyfriend, Jesse King. Jesse, this is Axel Stevenson. He's probably my best guy friend. We've known each other for years and he helped with getting the band out there." This 'Axel' guy looked me up and down judgingly then looked at Nicky with raised eyebrows and asked yet another question "When were you planning on telling me that you had a boyfriend, sweetheart?"
I had to fight the urge to lose my sh!t and ram my fist into his face when he called her 'sweetheart' and, for once, I actually managed it.
Before Nicky could respond, everyone started doing the countdown for the New Year. Axel excused himself and disappeared somewhere. Not wanting to think about the anger and jealousy that was boiling through my veins, I pulled Nicky to me and murmured "Three...Two...One..."
I moulded my lips to hers and she ran her fingers through my hair making me moan into her mouth. My arms were around her waist, hugging her soft curves to me. The kisses turned lazy and I kept peppering the light kisses to her full lips. "Happy New Year Princess." I whispered while my mouth hovered above hers.
Whatever was going on with Nicky and Axel didn't matter right now. All that mattered was that I had my beautiful princess in my arms.
"Happy New Year Jesse."
