No More Tea Parties

The blaring music in the club made Matt Sanders, the front man of Avenged Sevenfold, amazed that he was able to feel his cell phone go off in his pocket. Excusing himself from his friends he made his way through the crowd of dancers, stopping every once in a while one of the drunken girls grinded themselves against him.

Finally, breaking free of the crowd, he stepped outside feeling the crisp night air against his skin, the smell of the ocean hitting his nose. He took his phone out and laughed seeing that it was Papa Gates calling.

Answering the call Matt heard his name, "Matt, where the hell are you guys?" Papa Gates asked.

"At the club, we're celebrating with the girls tonight," Matt told him with a laugh looking over his shoulder hearing shouting coming from a little ways away, "Why, what's up?"

"I thought you guys were coming over for dinner tonight?"

"No Pops, that's tomorrow night," Matt replied still searching for the cause of the yelling.

Papa Gates stayed silent for a few moments and then chuckled, "Oh ya, sorry kid. It is tomorrow."

Matt laughed, "You sure are getting a fuzzy memory."

"Whatever, when you see my oldest, would you tell him to answer his phone?" Papa Gates asked him.

"Will do," With that said Matt said his goodbyes hearing the shouts growing more irate from down the alley behind the club. Hanging up his phone he made his way over slowly.

Finding the source of the yelling, Matt found a man with short chestnut brown hair standing tightly gripping the arms of a young woman a clear head shorter than him. His voice rang clear as he continued to yell at her, "YOU FUCKING BITCH! YOU ARE NOT WORKING HERE!"

The woman locked eyes with his in a cold stare, "Vois need to calm down," She told him her voice firm.

"What gives you the right to tell me to calm down? Huh?" He snapped at her, his grip tightening on her arms, causing her to wince and let out a soft hiss of pain.

"Dere is no need for vois to make a scene, and where I work is not of your business, Alec," She said coldly, trying to shrug of his hold.

Matt watched slowly moving closer to the two of them, from where he stood it was clear that the man, Alec, did not like that the woman was trying to pull away.

"Not my business?!" He shouted, shaking her roughly, "What do you mean it's not my business, I fucking own you!"

Matt stepped up to the fight pair, "Is there a problem here?"

The man dropped his grip on the woman's arms instantly.

"No. No problem," Alec said calmly. Not paid no attention to the man, Matt looked at the young woman; she was roughly five foot six, with blazing red hair, and flawless pale skin.

"Are you okay?" He asked her directly.

Nodding her head, she quickly moved away from Alec coming to stand behind Matt, and peered around Matt's larger form at Alec

"Oui, I am now," She said with a thick accent her eyes never leaving Alec's thin build.

"We," Alec pointed at the woman hiding safely behind Matt, "Are not done here."

"Oh, I think you are," Matt said firmly, his brow creased as he crossed his arms over his massive chest. Even in his somewhat relaxed standing in a relaxed stance Matt stood a good six inches over the other man.

Alec glared daggers at Matt for a moment, but turned left anyway. Matt watched him leave before he looked over his shoulder at the petite red head.

"Are you sure you're okay?" He asked as he turned to face her, his arm accidently bumping into hers, causing her to wince slightly. Matt noticed, "I take that as a no."

"I vill be alright. Zit is not as bad as zit could be," She told him honestly, looking at him with bright blue eyes.

"Good...I guess." he said awkwardly, "So, some friends of mine are having some drinks inside."

The woman blinked, "Zat is... nice..."

"You should join us."

"Merci, but, I verlly should be going."

Matt scratched the back of his neck and let out a sigh, "Come on, it will be a lot of fun. Besides after what I just saw, I think you could use a drink."

She stayed quiet for a moment or two considering the offer, then nodded, "I dink vois maybe right."

He held out his larger hand to hers. "I'm Matt, by the way."

"Nicole," She said her accent still present. Taking his hand her she proceeded to shake, "Zit is nice to meet vois."

He smiled a genuine smile at her, "It's nice to meet you as well Nicole," He raised an eye brow, "Um if you don't mind me asking your not from around here, are you?"

Nicole laughed slightly. "No, no I am not."

"I thought so."

"What gave zit avay?" Nicole asked.

"Your accent."

"Vell shit."

Matt blinked in confusion, "Did you not want me to know?"

"Zit is not zat I did not want you to know. Zit is ze fact zat I work very 'ard on not 'aving vone."

"Having one what?"

"Accont," She told him bluntly.

"You have more than one?" He asked with a playful smirk.

Nicole rolled her eyes and smiled up at him as she crossed her arms over her chest, "You sir, are what we call a malin."

He raised his eye brow at her once more, "Malin? You don't sound like you are from Italy."

"I am impressed," she told him. "Ze French and ze Italians share many of ze same ords."

Matt laughed, "I know, a good friend of mine is Italian. You can meet her when we go inside."

"Shall ve den?" She asked gesturing to the door he had come from. Nodding Matt started off with her by his side.

Soon the two of them fought their way back to the table being saved by another young woman. Her hair was the color of dark cherry wood and her skin had a very slight tan to it. Matt smiled and took his seat close to the girl, Nicole sitting next to him.

"Emilie," He said trying to speak over the blaring music, "This is Nicole a friend of mine!"

Emilie smiled a bright smile holding her hand out to the new girl, "It is a pleasure to meet you Nicole, I'm Emilie Lynn."

Nicole smiled taking the woman's hand in hers. "Ze pleasure is mine," she said trying to speak over the music not succeeding at the moment.

Emilie pointed to the speakers and then to herself, she shrugged. Jumping slightly when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Turning she smiled as she kissed the larger hand.

Because of the low lighting the club was that the figure was male, tall, and had a very well built frame. The man took a seat on the other side of Emilie wrapping his arm around her shoulder, he placed a kiss to the side of her head and closed his eyes.

The man that had his arms wrapped around Emilie's shoulder looked at Nicole and then looked at Matt, "So who is the new girl?" he asked Matt over the music.

"Brian, this is Nicole, Nicole this is Brian." Matt introduced before taking a drink of his beer.

"Who?" Brian asked looking between Matt and Nicole.

Nicole looked at Brian and took a drink of the Jack and Coke that was placed in front of her, "I am Nicole."

Brian leaned in a little closer, "Sorry, couldn't hear you. What did you say your name was?"

"Nicole."

"Nickel?" He replied looking at her.

"No, no. Nicole is my name," She said a bit louder, trying to enunciate her name a bit more.

Brian nodded, "Nickel got it."

Nicole sighed shaking her head, "No my name is Nicole, not Nickel."

Brian looked at the girl and rolled his eyes, "I already know that your name is Nickel, you really don't have to keep repeating yourself."

"I am not repeading myself, vois are not listening," She said finishing her drink in front of her.

While Briana and Nicole debated over her name the table was slowing starting to fill as a few others from the crowd made their way to the table. The small group of four quickly grow into a larger group of ten. Three more men took some of the empty seats, while the rest, a group of ladies stood in front of the men. From the looks of how the men draped their arms around the women it was obvious they were a group of couples.

She and Brain were interrupted as introductions were made and drinks were ordered.

~An hour or so passed~

Nicole was lead out of the club holding on to who she was introduced to earlier that evening as Jimmy Sullivan, "Vois know what... Jammy? I dink I ave prettier eyes din vois... " She said a drunken slur muddling words further.

"Noo," Jimmy said as he stopped and looked down at her his free hand poked her nose, "I think I have prettier eyes then Voodoo."

Siya stood there watching the scene of her boyfriend, who was beyond the point of sober, argue with someone on the same level as he was.

"Jimmy, love, I think we should be going," She told him as she touched his arm, pouting Jimmy stepped away from Nicole who then leaned against Matt.

"My lady is right, I shall now retire to my bed and sleep," He said a smirk forming on his face, "Well maybe,"

Siya's cheeks turned a bright shade of red as she took a hold of Jimmy's hand adn began to lead him off to his car.

"Peace," He called as he waved.

Matt looked down at Nicole who was having a hard time standing even though he had his arm around her waist. "You know what," He said thickly, "You are going to come home with me."

Nicole tilted her head towards him blinking slowly, "Huh?"

"You," Matt pointed his finger at her, "Are going to come home with me, I got a limo and everything," He said slurring his words.

"Matt, I really think she should go to her place," Rae said as she removed her neck from Zacky's mouth.

"No," Matt then turned his head looking at Rae, "She is going to have a sleep over," Pointing at himself he added, "With me."

Emilie blinked a few times hearing what was being said. "Matt," she spoke. "How old are you?"

"Old enough," he said honestly.

"Don't you think you are a little too old to be having sleep overs?" She asked as she raised an eyebrow.

Nicole giggled and clapped her hands turning and stumbling into Matt's chest, "Vay! Truth or dare!"

Matt laughed, "Sounds like a plan chick!"

Emilie was about to protest when Brian covered her mouth gently, "No. Let them go."

"But I really don't think-" She was interupted by Nicole once more, "On vne condition. Ve," She jabbed her finger in Matts chest and stared at it a moment before continuing, "Are 'aving sex."

Emilie's eyes went wide. "Brian!"

Brian only shrugged, "Eh. Kids will be kids," He told her, "Now, let's go be kids."

"No," Emilie told him flat out, "You are drunk, and I am going to go home to my baby. You know, your daughter."

"I knew I had daughter, god buzz kill," Brian said as he and Emilie left with Johnny Christ and his girl Chasity. Shortly after Rae and Zacky followed suit, leaving only Matt and Nicole.

Nicole then started to look around the empting parking lot, Vere did I park my car? Oh vait, I did not take my car," She snickered.

"I have my limo, everything is fine," Matt said as the black stretch pulled up. Once the doors were open the two of them disappeared inside in a fit of drunken laughter.
