James Hetfield, My New Neighbor

Chapter 17

I woke up at an early morning. Around 6:00am. I was sitting up as soon as my eyes opened and thought about last night. It felt like a dream. Was it a dream? Did I actually had sex with James? Maybe it was. Maybe not. I looked over to my side and I see that it wasn't a dream. James was still sound asleep. His chest exposing. I checked under the blanket and yes he was naked. So was I.

I was gonna grab my underwear but remember James ripped them last night. I got a new pair and a got my Deftones t-shirt and went to the bathroom without waking up James.

As I was in the bathroom. I was in front of the mirror. I notice a little mark on my neck and I seen another one on my chest. I was thinking "Oh my God James did this. What do I say if people ask?" I try to at least put make up on it. I shaded the mark on my neck, it was the one that was more exposed.

I finished up and went back to my room. As soon as I opened the door James was already up and had his pants back on.  He looked over at me with a smile on his face "Good Morning." He said. "Morning." I said. I was pretty much speechless. I didn't know what to say next or think of. James walked toward my ripped underwear on the floor. He picked it up and said "I'm sorry...." "it's ok..." I said. I was feeling red. He throw the torn up underwear in the little trash can by my bedroom door. I also seen the disposed condom he used last night in the trash.

James walked to me, I was just wearing my shirt and underwear. He gave me a friendly hug and then a kiss on my cheek. He let go and hold my hand. He used his other hand to wipe the side of my face with a smile.

"Let's get breakfast and then go to the hospital." He said. I agreed. I felt like it will be our first date together. I got myself dressed up as James head to his house to change and take a quick shower.

I went outside and waited for James by his car. He came out of this house a few minutes after me and he was wearing his white Motorhead T-shirt and beige pants with shades on. He looked totally hot for me again. His hair was hot messy. I just felt so much attractive towards him.

He opened the car door to let me in. He was being a gentalmen to me. I sat inside and he closed the car door for me. He got to his set and close his side of the car door. We drove off to go have breakfast. A motorhead cane on his radio, I guess a song called "aces of spades", I didn't listen to them much.

As I was thinking a lot about last night when James firat kissed me and at the end of when he said he loved me, James interrupts and asked "Do you like Lenny?" "Huh?" I said because I didn't understood at first, "L enny, this singer?" He said pointing at his radio, "oh...uh I don't listen to much of him but I have heard this song before." I answered, "Motorhead is the best." He said. I nodded yes in a way that I was listening. I almost dose off again, but before I did, James' right hand touched my left hand. He then held my hold hand in his  and he lift up my hand to his lips and kissed my hand. My face made a big smile of how sweet it was of him doing that.

We soon came to a Diner which wasn't far from the hospital. James parked his car and we both got out of the car and entered the diner. A waitress helped us to a table and a menu. We started out with what to drink. I asked for orange juice and James asked for the same. The waitress went on her way to get her drink and we looked into the menu for what to eat. "So what are you getting Melanie?" He asked out of curiosity, "uhh.. the waffles with eggs and bacon." I answered, "ooh that sound very delicious." He said. 2 minutes later, the same waitress came back with our drinks and we were ready to order. She had her pen and pad out and I need for the waffles with scrambled eggs and bacon and James ordered the same as me. The waitress left to send out the order to the cook.

As we waited,  James started to asked about last night, "um...i hope I didn't hurt you." He said, at first I was clueless and then he said "..Last night..." "oh...um...no You didn't..." I said but I was blushing too much. "....i should have asked you out before...but I was afraid you would go out with a old man like me...and I couldn't fight my feelings for you...i couldn't help myself..." He explained, "well....im Ok and to be honest...the first time you kissed me before last night.....i couldn't stop thinking...about you..." I said spilling out, confessing my feelings for him. "Really?....so You purposely were looking out your window to see me?" He asked. I remember the first time I done that so I confessed to that too "I didn't mean to look, it was just out of no where when I saw you." I said. "I'm pretty sure it was more than once, you pervert, haha." He said joking, I turned red.

The waitress came back with our breakfast and told us to enjoy. We thanked her and the whole time I noticed she only stared at James and hardly looked at me. She walked away and me and James started to eat. But I had to know where we were at. Friends? Girlfriend and boyfriend? Maybe friends with benefits? I then thought of what to say, I was eating my eggs little by little thinking but didn't know what to say, but James stopped eating but still had his butter knife and fork in his hand and asked first "so?...uh...do you think we should start over?....i mean....i didn't even asked you out before having.....you know.....and I just want to make it right this time...." I guess for him saying 'this time's he must have done mistakes in the past. "Ok....so friends first?...and then we could see what happens there?..." He said, I thought it should be a good idea. I know we already had sex and I loves it but maybe he is right, friends first an d's then real relationship. "Ok." I agreed. We shook hands on it.

As we enjoyed our breakfast, the waitress came back to see how we were doing. "How is the food guys?" She asked, we both said the food was good. She then said,"Its nice to see a Father taking his daughter out to eat." I almost choked my food as James almost spit or choked his orange juice out too. "Oh no! *Cough* um this is my friend....and my neighbor." James explained to the waitress. It was very weird for someone to see me and James as Father and Daughter. We don't even look alike. I got brown eyes, he got gorgeous blue eyes, I got dark brown hair, he has cute blond hair....maybe we kinda have the same skin tone but he's more white than me and then again his age and my age are far apart.

It felt like the waitress was more interested in James and I felt A lot of jealousy. She then introduce herself to him, "oh, well my name is Josie." She said, she pulled out her hand for a hand shake but only to James. He shook her hand and introduced himself as well. "I'm James and this is Melanie." He said. All she said was "Hi" to me and went back talking to James.

"So, are you from around here?" She asked, "No, I just moved into town a few weeks ago." He said. "Oh really? And what you do for work out here?" She asked, "I do cars, custom cars." He said, "oh that's nice, you must be making a lot of money." She said, "haha well it pays the bills." He said. As the conversation was going on, I was felt as if I wasn't even there. I was like some kind of third wheel. I went on eating my breakfast and just waited for the conversation to end. I really wanted to just explode on this Josie chick. Before I know it, Josie asked James for his number. I felt very annoyed but then again we agreed on just being friends. Even after having sex which I think brought more emotions to me. But still I kept myself a little distant with the choice he made.

He gave her his number and thank him and then he asked for the check to pay for the breakfast. She left to get it. Now his attention was on me now. I was just staring at the rest of my food. I did felt jealous and mad. But I didn't want him to know. Maybe he did knew already. My hand was holding a fork and i was just picking at the last piece of waffle. James stopped my hand with his for me to pay attention to him, and With a low voice he tells me, "Hey, I'm sorry about that....i know we're friends but you still have emotions, even....after last night. I apologize. Let's finish up and go to the hospital.....and hurry because I actually gave her a wrong number....." He said. We finished our breakfast and Josie came back with the check. James paid the meal and left a tip so he wouldn't be a complete asshole.

We headed to the car and left to the hospital and promise to each other not to go back to that diner because of he gave the wrong number to her. I was laughing inside and thought "yes, James is all mine!"
