Falling For You

Chapter Nine

Abigail's POV:

"Holy shit!" Alexa says the second we reach the location. "Look at the size of this place."

"The dude is a celebrity. We live in California. Of course it's big. What did you expect?" I chuckle.

We both get out of the car and start walking towards the door. Alexa rings the doorbell and not too long a young woman with dark hair answers the door.

"Hi! I'm Abigail and this is Alexa. I'm a friend of Brian. He told me to come here," I explain to the woman who smiles at me. "Of course. We were expecting you. Come in," she says, stepping aside so that we could enter the house.

"Hi, I'm Val, Matt's wife," the woman introduce herself, sticking her hand out so that Alexa and I could shake it. "Nice to meet you, Val," I smile.

"Well, follow me. The party is out back," she says, walking off as Alexa and I follow her.

When we get to the backyard there's already four other people out here, three guys and one girl. They all look up at us and the one guy with huge muscles stands on his feet, walking over to us. I assume it's Matt.

"Babe, these are the girls Syn told us about. Abigail and Alexa," Val tells her husband. He sticks his hand out in front of me with a smile on his face. I also notice that he has dimples, which I find kinda cute. Oops. I better not let Val hear me say that, not that I mean anything by it.

"Hey, I'm Matt," he says. "Hi!" I say, shaking his hand before Alexa could get a turn. "Come on, I'll introduce you to everyone," he says, walking us over to where his friends are.

"Guys, this is Abigail and Alexa. Ladies, meet my friends, Jimmy, Johnny and Johnny's girlfriend, Lacey," Matt tells us. "Hi!" Alexa and I smile, waving at the new faces. "Please, sit," Lacey says, offering us the two empty chairs between her and the chair Matt was just sitting in. We both sit down.

"Would you ladies like anything to drink?" Val offers. "I'll have wine if you have any," Alexa tells her. "We sure do," Val says before looking at me. "Um, I'll just have a glass of water," I tell her. She smiles and nod before walking away, heading into the house.

I look at Alexa who has a huge smile on her face. Well, she sure seems happy.

"So Abigail," Matt says, getting my attention. "Syn tells me you guys met on Friday night, but he never told me how." I can probably think of a good reason why. I look at Alexa wondering what I should say. Unsure herself, she shrugs her shoulders. Some help you are, Alexa.

"Um, well.... Brian and I...." I really don't want to say. For all I know these people could be judgmental and think that I'm no good to be around them, not that I plan on seeing them again after this.

"Abs, it's okay," Matt chuckles. "You can tell us. Whatever it is we won't judge." As much as I would like to believe that.

"Ummm... Well-"

"Look who's here!" Val says, coming out of the house with Brian and some other guy I haven't met on her tail. Phew! Saved by the bell, for now at least. I watch as Matt gets up to greet the two with a brotherly hugs and handshakes. "Look who also showed up," Matt tells Brian nodding his head towards me. When Brian notices me I smile and wave at him and he does the same.

"Hey, glad you could make it," he says, sitting down next to me and wrapping his arms around me as I hug back. When we pull apart he stares at me taking in my entire appearance. "You look nice."

"Thanks," I smile. "You look good yourself." And he really does. He has on a pair of dark blue jeans with little torns in them, a black button up shirt with sleeves that shows part of his tattoos on both arms and a hat to match. Oh yeah, he definitely does look good. I think they all look good. Honestly, I think they look better than half the male pop singers I listen to and that's saying something because usually, I find myself attracted to guys who look like they belong in N*SYNC.

"Thanks," Brian replies with a smile.

Val hands me and Alexa our drinks. "Thanks!" we both say. "You're welcome," she says before walking over to Matt and sitting down on his lap.

Jimmy decided to start the group conversation off with talking about the band's upcoming tour. It just so happens that he's the band's drummer. They were all talking about the places they will be visiting and how awesome it was going to be. Zacky, the guy who came in with Brian mentioned that one of the places they were going to was Las Vegas, Nevada. I've always wanted to go there. Shoot, almost make me wish I could go.

Speaking of Zacky, I noticed how he kept eyeing Alexa ever since he sat down. Smiling. Licking his lips. He was practically undressing her with his eyes. I'm not sure if Alexa noticed, though, but if she did she probably wouldn't have mind. I'm not even sure which one of these guys is her favorite member of the band. Even though I knew she liked them she never spoke to me much about them, which is somewhat surprising.

"So what do you two do for a living?" Johnny ask, looking at Alexa and me. Shit.

"I'm just a sales clerk at a music store," Alexa replies. "That's cool. And what about you, Abs? What do you do?" he ask now looking at me. Really, I like how these people call me by nicknames as if we known each other for over a year now. I don't have a problem with it, it's just that usually the people I've known for a long time would be the only ones to call me names like Abs or Abby or Gail, ya know? But really, I don't mind these people calling me by my nicknames. Makes me feel like I'm already apart of their circle or something.

"Ummm..... Weeeell....."

"Here comes the stalling again," Jimmy jokes before taking a sip of his beer.

"Come on. Spit it out, girl," Val laughs.

"Well, I-"

"Hi, everyone!" a voice interrupts, once again saving my life.

We all turn our heads to see a woman with blonde hair coming out of the house. When I get a good look at her face I notice that she looks a lot like Val.

"Hey, sis," Val greets the woman. Sis as in sister? Of course, this must be her twin. I watch as Val gets up to go greet her twin with a hug.

"Fuck," I hear Brian mumble under his breath. "Something wrong?" I ask in a whispering tone while leaning towards him. He sigh and looks at me. "That's Michelle. My wife." Oh shit.
