Reckless and Relentless- An Asking Alexandria Fanfic

Chapter Five

  I hesitated for a moment, unsure if I really wanted to try it. Then I remembered this was Danny Worsnop offering to share his cigarette with me, and I took it. I brought it to my lips and breathed in.

  The cigarette tasted bitter, harsh, but good. I exhaled slowly, coughing twice, and handed the cigarette back to Danny. He laughed and took another drag, then held it out to me once again, but I shook my head no, saying, "No thanks. That's yours." He took my hand, placed the cigarette in it, and pulled out another cigarette. As he lit it, I took another drag from the one I had in my hand. "It's cool, not like I don't have the money to buy more."

  I knew he had a fair share of money, but he wasn't allowed to disclose how much he made, so I didn't ask. I just nodded, taking another hit.

  "So what brings you here? Recording?" I asked. "Nah," he said. "just wanted to get out of Texas for a bit. Besides, bars here in LA are way fuckin better." I laughed. "Ben and I were thinking about hitting up a few tonight. Well, not thinking, we're fuckin gonna. You down to come?" he asked.

  I sighed. "I wish. I'm only 19, and I don't live here in LA." "Well, you are and you do tonight." he told me. "I'll just buy you in, and you can stay in my hotel room with me." I was amazed, but I was sure sex was the primary reason behind the generosity. "I don't have any over night stuff with me though." I said. I had finished off my cigarette, and he was close to finishing his.

  "You can wear my pajamas, and if you want I can take you to or of the stores on Melrose and we'll find you an outfit for tomorrow. Just please..." he said, putting a hand on my hip, gently pushing me against the wall, and staring into my eyes. "Stay for the night. Please."

  I was completely, utterly speechless. The most amazing man on Earth, begging me to stay a night in LA with him. He was so close I could smell the cigarettes on his breath, as well as his cologne that gave me a dizzy feeling, but in a good way.

  "Um.. I would have to let Skyler and Chloe know, cuz I live with them, but yeah, I'll stay." I told him, and smiled. He smiled back.

  "They're your brother and sister, right?" he asked me. He still hadn't taken his hand off my hip, and was so close I could almost feel his body against mine. "No, but they may as well be. I moved in with them right before I turned 16." I told him. "What about your mom and dad?" he asked.

  I was saved from the question by Andy, who stuck his head out of a window, yelling, "Danny you faggot, get back up here!" He disappeared from view, and Danny sighed. "Guess we have our orders." I half smiled and said, "Yeah, looks like it." I moved to walk back inside, but Danny pushed me against the wall once more, stared into my eyes for a moment, and kissed me.
