Shameless

The next morning I woke up to a harsh shaking from Alex.

"Come on April, Your boyfriend's called at least six times. Call him back and tell him to never call me again!" He said, his voice still raspy from sleep. He now noticed my eyes slightly open and placed the cell phone in my hand. It quickly began vibrating, Brenden's name flashing on the screen.

"Well, you gonna pick up or what?" He mumbled, lugging himself back to the couch as he threw himself back down, tugging the covers over himself. I rolled my eyes and flipped open the phone and to my surprise, heard yelling.

"Give it up man."
"Shut up Ry!"
"Dude, she hasn't picked up the last seven times. What makes you think she's gonna pick up now?!"
"Spencer! Zip it! She must be sleeping or something-"

"Uh...Hello?" I mumbled, sitting up in my bed as the voices in the back ground of the phone began getting quieter.

"APRIL! I'm really sorry, did I wake you up? Sorry, You didn't- I mean Alex didn't pick up, well he did and he pretty much just told me to fuck off and-"
"Bren! Stop Rambling!" A voice in the back ground yelled, most likely Ryan's.

"Right, right. Sorry. I uh, Well, Uh- HEY! RYAN! GIVE ME THAT BACK YOU ASS!" He yelled as another loud argument from the guys in around him began again.

"Brenden?" I asked after another silence fell between us.

"Yeah, sorry about that. Ryan's being an a-hole today. Anywho, I was wondering if we're still on for today." He asked. I couldn't help but feel a tiny smile hit my face.

Why is it that all the boys I know are so crazy?

"Yeah, Sounds fine but I promised Alex that I'd chill with him."

"Oh! That's okay! Uh... Meet me at the Java Hut around 3ish? Alex knows where it is, right?"

"I don't know, let me ask." I placed my finger over the speaker and looked over at the peacefully sleeping Alex.

His hair fell perfectly in front of his eyes and he griped the sheets around him. This, for some reason, made my smile grow slightly larger.

I threw the phone down on the bed and jumped out of it, quietly sneaking over to his bed, trying my hardest not to wake him. As I stopped in front of him, I gently placed my hand on the side of his cheek and brushed the hair out of his eyes, making them open slowly.

"Hey Love." I said quietly, smiling into his light chocolate eyes.

"Hey Babe. Tell that Urie Kid to fuck off?" He mumbled, chuckling a bit.

"No, I asked him if he wanted to fuck though." I said jokingly, poking him gently in his side making him squirm a bit.

He's like a little kid, I'm not even kidding you.

"Alright, but I get firsty's kay?" He sat himself up on the couch, stretching out his arms. "Okay, why did you really Wake me up?" He asked looking down at me with a knowing smile.

"Do you know where the Java Hut is?" I asked, now standing myself up, wobbling a bit as my legs got used to the feeling.

"Yeah, why do you ask?"

"I'm meeting Brenden there a little later and I kind of need you to drop me off."

"Hell no." He said flat out, all expression leaving his face.

"What, Why-"
"No."
"Alex, Please-"
"No!"
"Come on, you know you want to!" I demanded, giving him a small, puppy dog pout.

He just stared at me for a second, trying his best to hold his expression in place but failed miserably as his face softened.

"What concept of 'No' don't you understand?" He asked, rolling his eyes.

"The N and the O part of course." I said, laughing as I made my way back to the bed and picked up the phone, only to, once again, over hear the boys talking.

"But I wore that last night! She'll totally notice!"
"Girl's don't notice stupid stuff like that! Trust me! I'm the one with the girlfriend here!"
"You've hooked up with her twice, Ryan. That doesn't make her your girlfriend. You two barely talk!"
"But I still know more about girl's then-"

"Brenden?" I asked, trying to regain his attention.

"OH! April! Didn't hear you over this babbling idiot. So, does he know the place?" He asked, the sound of covered up laughter ringing in the background.

"See you then- HEY!" Suddenly, Alex jumped over me and snatched the phone from my hand, holding me down with one of his hands. Fuck, that boy is strong!

"Hey Breeeennnnnddeeeennnnnn." He smirked at me, laughing hysterically.

"Oh, Alex, Hey. Um. I was kind of talking to April-"
"Yeah, you just interrupted us doing it, Mind calling back later?"

"ALEX YOU ASS! GIVE THE DAMN PHONE BACK!" I yelled, having to jump over him to attempt to get the phone back but I failed, only ending in both of us laughing.

Small laughs came from Brenden's half of the phone. "Use protection you too. Tell her I'll call her later, kay?" Before Alex even responded he hung of his cell phone and tossed it over to the other half of the room in a pile of his clothing.

I was still sitting on top of him as he smirked up at me from the bed.

"I hate you Alex Gaskarth." I mumbled crossing my arms across my chest as I glared down at him.

"No, You love me! Admit it!" He said, poking me in the stomach as he smiled up at me with a foolish grin.

"Oh yes, from the bottom of my heart Alex Gaskarth, I love you." I said sarcastically, getting off of him and standing up from the bed.

I walked over to the mirror and put my hair up in a pony tail, only ending in me taking it out. I never liked pony tails. Just not my thing.

I went into the bathroom with my bag of clothing and threw on my ripped jeans with a hot topic GIR shirt, zipping up my black, pin stripped hoodie before walking out of the bathroom to see Alex, a full grin on his face.

"Time for me to show you what Vegas is all about baby." He said as he grabbed my hand and began pulling me out of the room.

------------------------------------

The day rolled on and let me tell you, it had to be one of the most fun days of my life!

After leaving the Motel, He brought me to the mall and we literally shopped until we dropped. I'm not kidding you. Half way through, we decided to lie down on the floor just to make the saying relevant. When people asked what we were doing we simply told them 'We're done shopping, time for the dropping.'

After that he dragged me down the busy streets of the city only to come across a small, yet completely amazing deli that actually had my favorite food. Bagels with Ranch Dressing... Dear god, I wish I was kidding you.

For some strange reason Alex didn't think this was... Well strange! He actually took a couple bites from mine and enjoyed it, getting one himself.

We continued walking down the street playing a game of the infamous 'Awkward question game'. Both of us still biting down on our food.

"Okay, Your turn?" I said, gesturing to him as I took another bite out of my bagel.

"Right, Okay, Hm... Oh! I got one! Ever caught a teacher staring a student. Namely Male teachers if you know what I mean." He nudged me in the shoulder and laughed a bit before putting his focus back onto his bagel.

"I caught a female teacher staring at a girl once, if you know what I mean." He stared at me for a moment before breaking down into laughter.

"That makes it twice as awkward man! Did the girl know?"

"Nah, she stopped staring after the girls’ boyfriend put his arm around her. Funny as hell." I said, laughing along with Alex as we continued on our way down the street.

I closed my eyes, feeling the soft breeze against my skin and letting the wind run through my hair.

I opened my eyes only to catch Alex's staring intensely into mine. He quickly looked the opposite way and tossed his wrapper into a garbage can.

"Something Wrong?" I asked, moving slightly closer to him as my arm linked with his. His eyes immediately darted back down to mine, a smile across his face.

"Nah, it’s just that the same thing happened to me. Jeez, was Jack embarrassed!" He laughed, unlinking his arm with mine and rubbing the back of his head.

Suddenly the smile flashed off his face as his eyes set themselves ahead of us.

"Speaking of boyfriends..." He mumbled under his breath.

I glanced in his direction catching the eyes of none other than Brenden.

"Wow, way to be fashionably late!" He laughed as he ran up to us, a full smile on his face as he looked down at me.

"Late?" I asked, looking down at my wrist only to notice that I don't own a watch.

Wow... Smooth...

"Yeah, Sorry to break it to you but, you're about a half hour late." He said, Smiling at me and letting out a tiny laugh.

"Well you know what they say, time flies when you’re having fun."

"Or when you're having sex!" Alex cut in, letting out a small laugh as he smirked down at me.

Brenden chuckled a bit before glancing at Alex. "Mind if I steal her for a bit?" He asked, placing one of his hands on my shoulder as he pulled me in his direction.

"Depends..." Alex placed his hand on my other shoulder as his glare matched Brenden's. "You gonna give her back?" He jerked me back towards him.

"Don't worry, I'll bring her back save and sound." He said, smiling quickly at me before looking back up at Alex.

Alex sighed and let go of my shoulder. "Okay... I uh... I'll See you later April but make me one promise before I go..." I glanced up at him only to catch his smirk. "No Sex, Please? That's our thing." He said jokingly, letting out a tiny Chuckle before leaning down a bit and kissing me quickly on the cheek.

He held there for a second his lips gently pressed against my skin and only for a second, I felt his hand on my hip. Only for a second my face felt slightly warmer. And only for a second... I forgot where I was.

He pulled away and without even looking me in the eyes, walked off, waving his hand in the air to signal a goodbye.

He turned the corner and was out of my sight. I turned back to see Brenden, his face completely emotionless for a second and his eyes still watching the corner.

He quickly glanced down at me and the smile sprung back onto his face.

"So my dear, Shall we?" He asked, extending his arm towards me. I giggled and linked mine with his as we walked into the coffee shop.

We sat down and only for a second we were just looking at each other.

"What?" I asked, a tiny giggle slipping between my lips. I did not get the same response. Instead he stayed completely still, his eyes set on mine.

"April, I have to ask because this has kind of been bugging me for a bit and I'm pretty much just wondering..." I looked at him, slightly confused.

"Yeah, sure, what is it?" I asked, pushing the hair in my eyes out of the way.

"Is there something going on between you and Alex? You guys seem really close and all but-"

Before he could even finish what he was saying I fell into uncontrollable laughter.

Alex!? And Me?!

Sure, Alex is good looking and all and He's a great guy but really?! what would ever give him the idea that we were a we!?

"So, I'm going to take that as a no, right?" He asked, chuckling a bit as I began to calm down. I nodded and let out one smaller laugh.

"Trust me dude, we're just friends." He nodded, a small smile slipping onto his face.

"Oh... so... would it be alright if we just sat and talked for a little while?"He asked, giving me a small, innocent smile that I couldn't help but laugh at.

"I don't see why not." I said, sitting back in my chair and crossing my legs. "So, Brenden Urie, Lead singer of Panic at the Disco, Tell me about yourself..." I said in a very proper voice, letting out a small giggle.

"It's all on Wikipedia. And anyway, I'm not too interesting. Let's learn more about you, April North, Merch girl for All Time Low." He said, smiling at me as he placed his hand under his chin, leaning his elbow on the table.

"Uh... Well, there’s not much to say. I'm a Musician. Guitar player actually. One day I'm gonna join a band and make it big but for now, I'll just stick to being a Merchandise girl. Pays the bills you know?"I once again had to push my unmanageable bangs out of my face.

"Actually, Tell you the truth, I don't! But if it'll make you happy, I'll pretend I do." He cleared his voice for a second and shook his head, turning back to me. "Oh my gosh! Yes! I totally understand!"

We both broke down laughing. I clapped my hands and he made a little bow.

"Okay wise guy, I've told you a little something about me, now it's your turn." I rested my chin on my now folded hands and met his eye level. A small, sly smile came across his face as he let out a tiny laugh.

"Where should I start?"
