"You're dating who?", Kasey eyes literally nearly fell out of her head, her voice rising up a notch.
I looked around Starbucks at others reaction to Kasey's moment before sighing and shushing her, "Max, you know Max Green, i have already said this".
"But not more then a week ago you were saying you loved Ronnie", Kasey lowered her voice this time.
"Ye well Max just came into my life and BAM", i slapped my hands together faking a smile in place, secretly deep down i knew it was a lie, that me and Max were'nt really together.
"Something doesn't seem right", Kasey studied my face long and hard.
Shit. Shit. Shit. best-friends and there liar radars, i looked around Starbucks anywhere but at her, "Well, Believe it".
"Liisa it just so sudden", Kasey reached forward grabbing my hand, "You know rebounding is horrible". she finished.
"REBOUND?, wow No, I-", i was about to say loved Max but the words felt wrong.
Kasey sat back in her seat putting her hands up in defeat, "Liisa I'm just looking out for you".
I smiled lifting my cup up to my lips, "I Know Kasey but I'm happy truly happy Max makes me smile", i frowned inwardly, "Anyway how are you and Aaron?".
Kasey frowned slightly at me "Can i tell you something?".
"Sure Kase anything whats wrong?". I felt nervous now it wasn't long ago that Aaron made a pass at me.
"He seems really weird with me lately so un-Aaron like", Kasey eyebrows knitted together.
"Weird in what way?", my leg uneasily bounced under the table.
"Hes spoiling me alot, i have the strangest feeling like he trying to say sorry to me or something", she looked to me for any resolutions i shrugged silently.
"Maybe you're just thinking to much into it Kase", Lying to my best friend was so horrible i wanted to tell her but i knew it would crush her, to be honest lately i felt like i was lying to everyone.
"Ye" Kasey smiled resting back into her seat "Maybe your right".
Kasey rambled on telling me about her new idea to open a florist shop down town suddenly it turned from Kasey dream shop to our dream shop, we dawned on about going into partner-ship together which i really considered it sounded like a good idea to me, Kasey was good at assorting flowers and i was brilliant promotion ideas together we made a good team, i left to go bathroom half way through brain storming, when i returned Max was standing chatting down to Kasey I froze as they both looked up towards me.
"Max" i walked forward giving him the what are you doing here eyes.
"Hey you" Max walked towards me surprising me with a kiss on the cheek near enough to my mouth, i stared past him to my friend Kasey as she watched the both of us.
"Whats brought you here Max", I forced a smile on my face, i was really trying.
"Well of course i missed you gurl", Max slapped my ass as i past him, i jumped staring back at him, this was all very amusing for him.
"Aw that's sweet", i wanted to slap max right in the face for that.
Max pulled a chair up to our table before throwing his arm around me as he lazily rested against my right side, Kasey stared at us in wonder but she didn't say anything on the matter, we both dove back into our conversation, occasionally she glanced at Max when he over did it on the touchy feely stuff, i was seriously now considering punching Max, Kasey left after awhile i told her that i would stay behind with Max, she gave me a big hug before trotting out of Starbucks and off in the direction of the music shop she worked in.
"What the hell?", i turned to Max.
"We said we had to make it look real", Max used his hands to emphasize the REAL part.
"Its alittle to much don't you think", i pushed my coffee cup back getting up to my feet.
Max glanced up at me, "Maybe it was, i have to ask you something".
"What do you need to ask me?", i felt wary now his Green eyes twinkled brightly from behind his mass of messy black hair.
"Warped tour", he said.
"Warped tour what?", I hated when people didn't explain there meanings further.
"FIR are going to be on wraped tour, and so will my band The Natural Born Killers, i want you to come with me, of course you would be staying on the tour bus i have cleared it up with the rest of the band". Max grinned leaning forward resting his chin on his hands.
"So let me get this straight you want me to go on warped tour with you on a cramped bus?" i frowned, "Were would i be sleeping?".
Max got up to his feet "Well that i haven't quite figured out yet", he ran his hand threw his hair pulling it back off his face.
"There no way I'm sleeping in a bunk with you", I stared in shock.
"Even if i behave?" Max grinned at me.
"Max, no guy can keep his hands to himself", if i was forced to share a bunk with him things were going to turn ugly.
"Aw come on it cant be that bad!", Max watched as i slung my bag over my shoulder.
"I'm not sharing a bunk with you Max", I turned my back walking away from him, outside i looked in the window and our eyes meet , Max leaned forward blowing me a kiss, i shook my head unable to control my smile...
-----
Max introduced me to his band mates, Clayton, Brent, Philp & Kriz they all seemed like cool enough guys, i felt slightly uncomfortable being the only girl on a tour bus of guys and i wondered what shit i got myself into again but worst of all there was still the bunk-bed problem, Warped tour was kicking off today and the only cool thing about it all was that i would see some of the bands i really liked.
Reaching into my purse i brought out my red lipstick and applied it, stepping back i stared at my reflection as i slid my thick black sunglasses on i looked pretty cute if i say so myself my light black dress billowed slightly, they looked really cool matched with my usual bicker boots, "Max?" i called out as i walked into the sitting area,
"Hes not here he went out side about thirty minutes ago", Clayton smiled up to me as he was tapped away at his mac book.
"Oh OK, Thanks", i nodded smiling as i scrambled down the steps pushing the tour bus door open the warmth of the sun above scorched down on-top of my head, Jesus America was hot i thought, Max was no where to be seen outside, it wasn't Max who i really wanted to see i frowned at my train of thought, in all honesty i wanted to glimpse Ronnie but he wasn't anywhere about, i did in-fact see Jacky.
"Jacky" i shouted literally rushing over to him, he was the only person i recognised out of the strange faces around me.
Jacky turned at my voice as he smiled looking slightly confused "Liisa? wow how did you make it here?", his British accent flowing through.
"Um-My Boyfriend plays lead guitar for a band, he asked me to come along with him", i swallowed loudly feeling nervous.
Jacky's eyes widen "You're dating someone?, do i know him?".
"Max Green", i said the words alittle to quickly, it was warm out but the blood in my body chilled.
"Max green?" Jacky seemed shocked.
I Nodded biting my lip hard, this was defiantly going to get back to Ronnie's ears soon enough, Jacky didn't seem to know what else to say he just looked off in the direction of there tour bus, maybe he was worried what Ronnie might think, or possibly do.
i awkwardly played with my hands until someones arm sunk around my waist, i turned my head glancing at Max, Max green was just a inch taller then me i guessed around 5'9 because i didn't have to strain to look up into his face like i did Ronnie's and suddenly i missed that, i missed reaching up to Ronnie and kissing him i missed Ronnie full-stop.
"Hey you", Max kissed my cheek lingering the kiss nearly my mouth.
"Hey", I chocked awkwardly.
Max grinned at me pulling me closer into his side as he and Jacky began talking, i completely zoned out as My eyes locked onto FIR's tour bus wondering what Ronnie was up to and with who, the door suddenly swung open as Ronnie descended down the steps looking gorgeous in white tight jeans covered in different colour blotches and a sleeveless denim jacket his broad chest peeked out from underneath, i watched as he glanced around looking for someone when his eyes caught mine, the only way i could explain his reaction was like as if someone had punched the wind straight out off him a fire burned fiercely in his deep browns as he seethed in something more then jealously Ronnie was far beyond jealous as he took in my Closeness to Max and inside all i wanted to do was run to him and tell him me and Max weren't together, i wanted to tell him i loved him that i loved only him but i couldn't move all i could do was blush brightly as my stomach tossed and turned violently for the pressure of his burning stare...
