JERRY CANTRELL
when jerry first encountered violet sparks , it was the summer of 1988 and his band allice in chains had only been together for a little over a year .
they were little known and mostly only recognised at the frequent bars and clubs they performed in around Seattle .
however there was one band that were well on there way to stardom , already playing sold out venues across America and yet they still came back to there home town to play small gigs back where it had all started .
'hellkat' was a band much like his own , and also something that he had admired, everyone who lived here did .
they were the ones who had made it out of the dirt and to the sun , they were the poster faces for success.
a proof that anyone could make it if they tried hard enough .
so that was why it had come as a surprise to jerry when he casually bumped into her in one of the run down bars that they often came to , his eyes widening as he looked down at the messy haired red head he had poured his beer all over.
a loud curse escaping his lips as he looked at her now see through white shirt as she looked up at him with a unimpressed expression on her pretty face.
talk about first impressions..
"Jesus I'm sorry , I didn't even see you there!" he exclaimed meeting her bright blue eyes that sent a shock a wave through his body .
the hairs on the end of his arms standing up straight .
violet had the looks that could kill , in a sense that she looked seconds away from taking him out onto the floor and breaking his legs .
she was an intimidating girl , cold edged and very sarcastic he was quick to learn . he supposed it was what had fuelled his infuriation with her in the end.
violet sparks was one of a kind , the kind of girl you only meet once . only he had the luck of having more than his fare share of run ins with her over the following year .
she quirked a brow up at him , eyeing him with a small smirk , the rest of her face otherwise blank and cold .
"is that supposed to be some type of short joke? cause my knee is right near your crotch buddy so i'd rethink it if I was you .." she warned him , jolting her knee up for proof .
jerry nervously backed away from her , a laugh escaping his lips as he shook his head and looked down at her 5'6 height .
all the most dangerous things came in small packages , everybody knew that .
"no , no . I wasn't , I promise . and i'd like to keep my nuts so i'll keep that in mind." he replied , tucking his hair behind his ears as he got a proper look at her .
dressed in a now soaked shirt and ratty jean shorts , studded black boots .
she looked ready to rock , or ready to knock his teeth out . he wasn't quite sure yet .
violet tilted her head at him , her smirk twitching as she watched his cheeks flush red underneath her gaze .
running her eyes over his form , a amused chuckle escaping her as she realised he was wearing jeans and a waistcoat that was open and showing his golden chest .
jewellery hanging from his neck and rings coating his fingers .
violets first thought was that he looked like a catalogue boy and was trying to hard , but she kept her opinion to herself . for now.
"it's fine ." she breathed out looking down at her shirt with a grimace
"I was looking for a new scent , some piss cheap beer sounds just great to me." she muttered sarcastically making him laugh .
shaking his head as he took off his small waistcoat and passed it over to her , violet taking it from him after a moment of just staring at it blankly .
abruptly turning around and pushing open the door to the single stall bathroom , pulling her soaked shirt over her hand and throwing it into over in the corner carelessly .
sliding her arms through the holes of the fabric , it falling over her black lacy bra and just like jerry had she decided to leave to open .
not caring that the whole of her stomach was on show as well as her chest .
she would walk out naked if she had to , it really didn't bother her .
jerry leaned against the frame of the door as he watched her , biting down on his lip as he looked at her milky skin that was on display .
her eyes meeting his through this mirror , pursing her lips at him
"you make a habit of walking around shirtless?" she asked him , leaning forward to wipe the smudged liner from underneath her eyes and only managing to make it worse.
his eyes darting back up to hers , realising that he had been caught staring but he only grinned at her cheekily .
running his hand over his chest jokingly
"mmm , I like to give the public a piece of art to see for free . I'm quite charitable like that ." he joked managing to get a small laugh of the girl .
running her tongue across her teeth as she turned away from the mirror , walking over to the door and pushing past him making there shoulders brush together .
jerry sucking in a breath as his skin prickled from just that simply touch , quickly following after her not wanting there meeting to come to an end .
"well honey ... you grow a few more chest hairs and then maybe ill give you a few dollars yeah?" she drawled , turning around and running her finger teasingly down his hairless chest with a smirk .
a offended expression taking over his face as he huffed , narrowing his eyes at her
"i'll have you know I'm plenty man .." he puffed out feeling his pride be deflated as she just snickered at him , looking more amused than anything .
leaning his head down to hers and hovering his lips by her ear as he spoke
"I can show you if you want ." he whispered to her huskily , pulling way to wiggle his eyebrows at her thinking that he had won .
but violet only snorted , not looking affected by him at all . she had met many a cocky man over the years , she knew just how to deal with them .
titling her head at him as she pretended to think about it before shrugging her shoulders with a apologetic twist of her lips
"nah I think i'll pass , I've got a bed full of bikers in my bed waiting for me at home baby . six foot four ... muscles the size of a tree trunk ." she bit her lip with a sigh of false admiration , seeing jerry gape at her .
patting his shoulder as she passed
"but maybe next time , when you don't look like the regular douche bag around here eh?" she said before disappearing into the crowd , her smirk fading into his brain .
leaving jerry to stare at the spot where she was just stood in shock before the chuckles began to fall from his mouth , his grin widening as he shook his head to himself .
and from that moment he knew he was hooked .
