I'm Not That Perfect

“Aw, look at that picture. You look like a little baby. Baby Austin.” I giggled. We were looking at old photoshoot pictures of the band in their tour bus alone.
“I’m a man now.” Austin said in a deep voice. “See? Look at all this facial hair.”
“I think your facial hair is hot.” I said seriously. “Grow a beard. Like, a long one. To the floor.”
“Yeah? Would that turn you on?” He asked, kissing my neck.
“Your friends are going to be back soon.” I replied, pushing him off.
He looked down into my eyes. “They can watch.”
“You’re such a perv. I love it.” I laughed, then frowned. “I don’t want to leave.”
I was flying back to America the next day. I had so much work to catch up on; I couldn’t stay in Europe with my boyfriend forever.
“I don’t want you to leave.” He sighed. “Let’s just make the most of tonight, okay?”

ONE MONTH LATER
"Jesus." I murmured to myself, trying to navigate around London. I was about to surprise Austin… if I could ever find his goddamn hotel. Finally I managed to get a cab and a driver who seemed to know where he was going. I paid him and grabbed my bags, stepping into the lobby of The Ritz.
"Avery?" Matt Nichols was on his way out when I was on my way in.
"Hey." I smiled. "Surprise."
Matt laughed. “We’re on the eighteenth floor.”
"Thanks, Matt. You’re a lifesaver." I said, getting in the elevator and going on up to the room Matt told me Austin was in. I knocked on the door, grinning.
Oli opened the door and beamed when he saw me. “What are you doing here?”
"Who is it?" Austin’s voice called.
"I’m here to surprise my man." I replied,stepping inside.
"Avery? What the hell are you doing here?!" Austin cried when he saw me, picking me up and hugging me tight.
"We’re leaving at nine, guys." Oli said as he left.
"Surprise." I smiled.
He leaned down and kissed me. “Greatest surprise in the world.”
"Where are we going at nine?" I asked.
"Out. A bar or something. We could stay in though if you wanted…" Austin said, moving his hands down to my ass.
I laughed. “I’ve been on a plane for eleven hours. I need to get out.”
He sighed. “If you insist. I need to fuck you though. I’ve been all alone for a month.”
"I think you’ll make it another few hours, babe. If we’re going out I need to get ready. I look gross." I said, unzipping my suitcase.
"Please. You look gorgeous. God, I missed you."

I smoothed my dress as I waited for Austin to get us another round of drinks alone. The club we were at was clearly very popular.
"Wow. Hi. Avery Carter?" A man who looked somewhat familiar approached me.
I eyed his face tatts carefully. “Like the ink, man. Yeah, I’m Avery. Have we met?”
He laughed. “Thanks. I don’t think so. I’m Ronnie Radke.”
This was the guy Oli hated? He seemed nice enough. “Oh, right! Falling In Reverse, very nice. Great to meet you.”
"I’m a fan, I’ll have to admit. You take great photos and you’re absolutely beautiful." He replied.
"Oh. Thank you." I felt my skin flush in the darkness. Where the hell was Austin?
"Listen, if you’re not doing anything and you’re going to be in London for a while, we should definitely hook up." He continued.
"Why? So you can beat the shit out of her?" Oli asked, appearing out of nowhere with Austin.
Ronnie looked at me. “I see you’ve got an entourage. If you ever want to ditch the sellout you’re dating then give me a call.”
Austin when he was angry was probably the single most frightening thing I’d ever seen. “You stay the hell away from her.”
Ronnie laughed and slipped his arm around my waist. “You ought to keep an eye on her, Carlile. Can’t leave a girl like this alone for too long.”
I stepped away, glaring at him. Austin stepped forward. His fists were clenched and shaking. “Listen to me, you piece of shit. I swear that if you even look at my girl again, I’ll break every bone in your body.”
"You see the way she was looking at me before you showed up?" Ronnie asked.
"Baby, let’s just go." I put my hand on Austin’s arm and looked up at him.
He calmed down with a bit when he looked at me and nodded. “This isn’t over, Radke. You stay the hell away from me, you stay the hell away from my girl.”
"Good luck keeping her away from me!" He called as we left.
"I hate him. I hate him. Why were you even talking to him in the first place?" He fumed as we walked out and turned the corner.
"He literally came up to me and started talking to me out of nowhere. I didn’t want to be rude!" I replied. "You want to know something?"
"What?" He pouted.
"There’s only one man I’m interested in, okay? Let’s go to Nando’s, get some chicken and go back to the hotel and you can fuck my brains out, yeah?" I grinned.
"That sound really great." He nodded, wrapping his long arm around my waist. It was good to be back with my favourite person in the world.
