Unexpected 2: Life's journey (Ashley Purdy)

Chap 16

      YouTube video above for the song below😁💜
  We had finally made it home, we made it home a week ago and everyone has welcomed us back. They teased Ashley about being a bit sunburnt and me not having one which was quite funny. But currently Ashley and I were working on  music video for Holy Sin. The song was called Through the ages and Juniper was joining in with us. The music video was basically about two sisters one a fire elemental and the other a water elemental. Seeing it started off around a bit before the middle Ages a young man would seduce the fire elemental for a year before turning her into the police and after she escapes her heart falls for the mans same tricks, so its a cycle, she keep falling for the same thing like the time before last all the way up to present day. I was the fire elemental, Juniper was the water elemental and Ashley was the young man. We had just finished up shooting for the day, we were starting with modern day first and then going back through the ages.
 
    But we had finished a while ago and we were getting ready to go to the grand opening of my bar, (1) Das Zeitlose. Yea it had seemed like it was rushed but in all honestly I had started building the bar and the orphanage a year ago, but the orphanage would take longer to finish. The only people I knew so far who were going was Juniper, Aries, and Jake. Everyone else was busy or had plans, and I didn't mind that.
   
I was currently applying a thick, slightly shimmery coat of black eye shadow around my eyes. My hair was pinned up I'm a messy bun held together by a black bandana, like they had around the fifties, which covered most of my hair. I wore a gray vet neck mens waist coat, skin tight black leather pants with lace down the sides, black heeled combat boots and black bow tie. I had a black and silver chain bracelet on my right hand and black leather with silver star studs. A silver bleeding heart necklace this small rubies hanging from chains attached to a bleeding heart hung from my neck. My lips were black and I had inverted cross ruby earrings dangle from my ear. On my right hand I wore a small black bad decorated with rubies and on my other hand a fire opal cross band with a small black strip and diamonds on it. It say right next to my wedding and engagement ring. I looked at it happily and smiled before continuing my work.
     "Baby girl are you done yet?" I heard Ashley whine.
     "Almost. Be patient I can't look bad for tonight" I called out
    "You never ever look bad" Ashley said. I sighed and set down my make up before walking out of the bathroom in our room and into our room. Ashley had been laying down on the edge of our bed but when he saw me he sat up, his eyes going wide. Ashley wore a dark red button up with the top buttons undone, black vest, black jeans, and his boots. His hair was brushed neatly to the side
     "Like vhat you see?" I asked as he grabbed my hands and pulled me close to him
     "More then like.  I love it" He said sweetly before pulling me into a short soft kiss. "Now lets get you to your grand opening, we can't let you be late"
     "And vhen did you ever vorry about being on time?" I asked jokingly as he lead me out to the car. He looked at me as he opened up the passenger door for me
     "You know how I love to make a great entrance, you can't do that when your late now can you" he said.
    "Oh vhatever lets just go already" I sat down on the cool leather as I shut my door. Ashley walked over and got in, sliding behind the wheel before starting the car. When the radio came on Ashley and I looked at each other grinning before turning up and singing along to the radio
   "Rag doll, livin' in a movie

    "I loooovvvveeee that song" I said as I held Ashley's hand, letting them rest on in the center console.
    "You love all the music you listen to. Today you absolutely love this song though" he said chuckling as he looked at me. He was right, and although I loved all the music I had listened to depending on my mood of would always switch which songs I had loved the best for that day.
    "Yes I know that I'm bipolar on my songs ok" I said rolling my eyes.
    "Hey I don't mind it" Ashley said sweetly. "Hey I was thinking that maybe after warped tour and everything that I take you out on a actual date, I know that we didn't get a lot of them"
     "I vould love that" I said "it be nice to get to relax"  
     "Yea, you seem to be a giant stress magnet"
    "I try not to, its just I can't help but seem to get into things and then  I rush to finish it because I have a dead line" I said  biting my lip "Its not like I'm intentionally trying to make myself stressed"
     "No need to explain yourself baby girl, I understand. And you know I'm always right here to help you with anything you need"
      "I know that. Thank you, for everything. I mean it, you are literally my number one supporter" 
    "Because you deserve it" Ashley answered "and because I know it will be successful because they have you at the head of it"
     "You give me vay to much credit for things"
    "No I give you exactly the amount of credit you deserve because people don't give you enough" Ashley stated as he glanced at me. I couldn't argue with him there. Their was a lot of times me and Ashley had come up with a fantastic idea for Holy Sin and Black Veil Brides and I had always got brushed off to the side. Fan girls will be fan girls.
     "I still feel like its too much" I said shakily
     "That's because you aren't used to compliments  and congratulations and such for things like this" Ashley stated yet again. I smiled and leaned over kissing his cheek "so what do you want to do for your birthday this year?"
    "Can ve do vhat ve did last year and just sleep in all day because that vas great" I said. He laughed
     "Nice try but we didn't sleep in on your birthday, we went to France for an entire week with Alex and Kellin"
     "Dammit I thought you vould forget that" I grumbled
     "Why would I forget that? I remember everything that happens with my baby girl and especially if its something that important"
     "Because although it vas a good veek I don't vant anything that expensive. You know how simple I am. I just vant to lay in bed all day and sleep, that sounds like a wonderful birthday" I answered
      "You seriously want to sleep in? Nothing fun and exciting, or like just going out to the park?"
     "Sleeping sounds good" I said looking at him. He just chuckled. I looked out the car window as thousands of buildings and plant life passed by. I watched as it began to get darker, all the lights beginning to turn on brightening up like a Christmas tree. The people walking around had started to become more active and heading to bars, strip clubs, and tattoo parlors.
     Finally we reached Das Zeitlos and I smiled happily as Ashley's jaw dropped in awe. The outside had a huge flat semi circle roof with alabaster white pillars held it up as multicolored lights shown brightly against the white walls and a large pond sat our front with a few coy fish. I watched as people flooded in, and I could here a bit of music pumping through the speakers. I grinned as we got out of the car and Ashley walked over to me, placing his arm around my waist and holding me close
     "Holy shit baby girl this place looks fantastic. I may just start drinking and partying here" Ashley said as we started to walk up the the arched, glass and black iron bar doors.
       "Then vait until you see the inside" I beamed. As soon  as we walked through the double doors the atmosphere changed Instantly. Now the music blaring through the speakers were loud and the floor was jam packed. This place was literally like a night club instead of looking like a normal bar. Multiple colored lights lit up the walls and long leather couches, some even reflecting off of the glossy light and dark brown wood floors and railings separating the 'upper' and 'lower' floors before a huge spiral staircase in the back rose upwards. I looked at Ashley who was just in complete awe, his mouth hanging open. I giggled
     "You're going to catch flies that vay" I said. He looked at me still shocked
    "Well I couldn't help it that you made all this amazingness" Ashley said. I just beamed and rolled my eyes.
     "Lets go find Juniper and Aries" I said. Ashley nodded and we began to move through the crowd. I noticed all the  security guards I had hired to keep the bar safe, wearing solid black and scanning the crowd. The male bar tenders, along with the female bar tenders, were either at the bar or walking around with drinks. The men wore a white button up with a dark blue vest or dark red button up with black jeans and shoes. The girls wore a black bronze studded sports bra like tops, with black high waisted eight button shorts, fishnet leggings and black heels. Half their hair was pulled into a loose bun as everything else hung down flowingly and dark blue lipstick.
     Finally we found juniper and Aries up in the VIP section. They sat on the long half circle black leather couch. Aries had a drink in her hand as Juniper talked to her, a glass of water in her hands. Juniper wore a large long sleeve mid thigh gray sweater like dress, combat boots, diamond ear rings, and her hair was curled an pulled to the side. Her lips were a glossy red and her eyes were framed in a light pink color with white eyeliner.
    Aries wore  a white and black stripped one shoulder long sleeve shoulder with a red rose design on the the shoulder, black ripped skinny jeans, a sliver rose bracelet, and black boots. I smiled as we walked up the small steps and towards them.
     "Hey guys I'm glad that you could make it" I said smiling as I hugged them
     'Of course, any time "juniper said smiling " I wouldn't miss the grand opening of something for my sister "
    "I heard bar and I was down" Aries said. We laughed as I sat in Ashley's lap across from the girls. I felt Ashley's hand resting on my ass.
    "I have to say this place is absolutely amazing" juniper said "I'm just upset that I cant drink"
    "You should be because this shit is absolutely amazing" Aries said as she sipped her drink. Juniper just playfully shoved her to the side. "Hey careful"
    "Vell you can think the blending of German and a little bit of American alcohol" I said laughing before I looked at Ashley "you vant anything to drink babe?" I asked
     "Anything is fine with me baby girl" Ashley said. I got up
     "Alright, I'll be back." I said before I kissed Ashley and walked back down the stairs and into the crowded floor. I finally reached the large glass bar counter with frozen water inside with light green lights shinning through the bottom.
      "What can I get you sugar?" One of the male bar tenders asked me flirtingly. I rolled my eyes, setting my hand on the counter to show off my wedding ring, and gave him a thin sarcastic smile.
    "Vell first I vould like to say it isn't vise to flirt vith your boss especially vhen she's married, and two get me a bottle of vhiskey and scotch." I said. Instantly the guys eyes went wide
     "I am so sorry sorry" he apologized as he searched the shelves and grabbed the bottles before handing them to me. "I didn't mean anything I didn't know who you were"
     "Its fine, just don't let it happen again" I said as I took the bottles from him and headed back to the girls. I smiled as I handed Ashley the bottles "your gift. You get vhole bottles"
     "Hell yea" Ashley said happily as he took them and grabbed one of the glasses off of the large low circular glass table in front of us before he poured himself a glass. I sat back down on his lap. He had one hand on his glass and the other one on my thigh.
     "So Anubis what are you doing for your birthday?" Juniper asked
      "You better not take Alex to Paris again for your birthday. It needs to be you, Ashley, Jinxx, and i." Aries said
      "YOU WENT TO PARIS FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY WITHOUT ME?" Juniper shouted
      "OK that vas Alex and Ashley's grand idea and you vere also at Stetson at the time" I defended
     "Thanks for throwing me under the bus" Ashley said sarcastically as he rolled his eyes. I laughed
     "What ever. Im going to throw you the biggest most badass party you've ever had it will make you forget about Paris" Juniper said
    "Actually I don't want to forget about that week in paris" Ashley interjected
     "Yea yea, ve all know you don't vant to forget about that veek. I vould be surprised if that hotel doesn't ban us for ever staying there again" I said.
     "Oh but we were in a place where they have a lot of sex so its probably not uncommon for that" Ashley said
      "How are you not pregnant yet with the amount of times you fuck?" Aries asked
     "Yea same, because me and CC didn't even do it that much and I still got pregnant" Juniper added. I shrugged
     "I let nature take its course. But ve are trying for a kid though"
      "Oh kids are fun, the process not so much I absolutely hate it and I'm not even that big yet"
      "You're starting to get there though" Aries added. Juniper rilled her eyes
     "Thanks so much for that" Juniper said sarcastically as she took a sip of her water. We continued talking until I had to get up and say my speech announcing the grand opening of Das Zeitlos. I was now standing on one of the bar counters, instead of the stage under the flashing red lights like a normal human being, holding a mic in my hand. Thousands of eyes were on me as I held the microphone in my hands. No matter how many times  had gone in front of a crowd I always got nervous and my heart raced in my chest. I took a deep breath.
    "Hello guys, how is everyone doing this evening? Are you having a good time?" I asked. They all cheered loudly "that's amazing. Im glad that your having fun at Das Zeitlos. For those of you vho don't know I'm Anubis, owner of this bar. I just vanted to let you know that all of the staff vill help you and get you anything you need and that you vill always feel as a member of this family. Ve are here to help you. Don't forget that you can reserve spaces or floors for events. Das Zeitlos is always open and to have a great time."
     People cheered as I handed the mic back and got down. Ashley walked up to me smiling, without a drink in his hand. Odd. Ashley grabbed my hand and pulled me to the dancefloor
     "Outlaw vhat are you doing? '  '
  "what's it look like baby girl, we're dancing" Ashley answered. Sighing I played along and we danced with the rest of the crowd. Ashley's hands had roamed my body freely and I occasionally grinder into him just to tease. In all honesty I was having fun, I didn't really dance much or find it fun. This was one of those in the moment things
      In occasion I had seen Aries and Juniper talking and laughing, sometimes pointing at us. I smiled and shook my head as I felt Ashley's body move against mine. After a while I had called it, I was starting to get tired. On my way up to the stairs and Ashley, who had decided to stick to my side, following me I had noticed two girls. One was a tall girl with tan skin and the other was medium height and slightly pale. The first girl had chin length blue and purple hair with one black eye and one blue, her middle finger nails had been painted purple and she had three black rings up the side of both her ears. The other girl had wore one of the bar tender outfits. It was Opal she had long black hair with silver bang and bright green eyes
      "Ash, go and sit vith the girls, ill be right back" I said as I watched as the blue and purple haired girl was getting in one guys face and holding at the girl
     "You sure?" He asked. I nodded
     "Its a vork thing. Ill be back" I said. Ashley nodded and walked upstairs and I walked towards the bickering group, crossing my arms. "Vhat seems to be the problem?"
     "This fucker is being rude to my girlfriend and laid his hands on her" The blue and purple hair girl said. I watched as Opal looked scared. I was aware of her shyness
    "She spilled a drink on me on purpose" the guy said obviously drunk. Their was no spill on his clothes 
     "One their isn't any stain on you or glass on the ground. And two she vasnt being rude and to shy and sweet to do that so I'm going to ask you to leave or you can not cause any more trouble" I said coldly. The guy got pissed and I stormed off "and as for you take the rest of the night off"
      "Thank you" the girl said. I smiled and walked back towards Ashley, Juniper and Aries.
