----------------------------------
I pretty much counted down the final month or so of school. I was just passing all my classes which was a surprise considering I skipped so many of them. I continued to work out like an animal and enlarge my Charlie Brown every day. The drinking remained a staple, but I calmed down with it a lot. There were way too many pee dreams happening for me to keep on getting my drink on every night.
As for Val, the two of us still hung out. We went to the dining hall together a lot. We watched movies on the weekends and I slept over, giving Peter his naked time. Did he take advantage of it? I have no idea. But I was nice enough to lay it out there. Val and I shared a bed and cuddled but I put a stop to the hooking up. I felt guilty being I was yearning for Larisa again in a big, big way. I didn't want to complicate things more with getting her back. Val was pissed off whenever I pushed her away when she tried to kiss me or touch me, but she learned to deal with it.
About a week before the annual festival, Avril arrived in New York to do some radio promotion stuff, in-studio performances and events like that. She came with Evan a few days before the rest of her band flew out from the west coast because he played with her in the small acoustic sessions. The weekend before her show at my school, I went back home, bringing some stuff home that I didn't need. I tried to make moving out easier in the end by bringing random things home a little at a time as the year came to an end. Evan stayed in New York City in a hotel while Avril stayed with me. I didn't give a fuck if he was lonely or that I didn't see him. He knew I hated him and I knew he hated me.
"Matthew!!!" yelled Avril as I opened the door of my house, seeing her on the steps. The tiny girl leaped up and jumped on me.
"Av!" I said excitedly as she wrapped her legs around my waist, locking her feet around my back. Good thing I worked out so much and was practically a male model now. I squeezed her tight against me, holding her up with my arms.
"It's sooo good to see you Matt," she added as she sat in my arms like she was my baby daughter. Good thing I didn't say I had a boner... cuz that would have made the daughter line awkward. After a few seconds, she released me from the clutches of her legs, ending our embrace. "Matt... wow."
"What?" I asked as I looked her up and down. She was wearing a pair of worn out light blue jeans... tight jeans. They clung to her hips and ass like plastic wrap. She had put on a little weight since I last seen her. It was a good gain though, not looking chunky anywhere by any means. Avril looked healthier. Her black vintage Guns 'N Roses shirt was also hugging her torso and her breasts pushed out against it. She looked beautiful.
"You look great Matt," she answered as she ran her right hand over my left shoulder, moving down my arm. "God, you look so different."
"Thanks..."
"Not that you weren't cute before or anything," Avril said nervously. "Man you look different, in five months."
"I know Av. Thanks," I replied, telling her understood the meaning of her remark. "So are you going to gimme a kiss or what?" She laughed took a step forward, allowing me to wrap my arms around her waist and pull her against me. I leaned down and pressed my lips to hers. It felt like it was January all over again. I felt Avril's tongue push past the edge of my mouth a little as we shared a soft sweet kiss. She had her arms straight out around my shoulders, her hands gripped together a few inches behind my head.
"Mmmm," she cooed into my mouth. I broke the kiss and looked her up and down once more.
"Avril, you look amazing as well. You're so beautiful." The two of us stood out on my front steps for a little while longer in the nice weather. It wasn't hot out and it wasn't cold out... probably about sixty-five degrees. The trees were covered in leaves and the grass was green. "Lemme take your bag and show you around."
I gave Avril the grand tour of my house, introducing my mother to her. My dad was taking care of some things with the new house in Arizona while he was out there on business and my sister was away at her first year of college. I'm sure it was like Studio 54 to my mother, being I had all these hot celebrities walking around the house. My mom had an idea of who she was from TV and whatnot and from me being on tour with her for a month.
"Um... where's...?"
"Yeah. My door. How are you." Here we go again. "I don't have a door. I never had one. This curtain's fairly new," I said as I closed it behind us.
"How did you and Larisa..."
"Sweetheart, this old dog's learned a few tricks," I laughed. Avril walked around my room. That took about two seconds. She didn't bring much of anything, just some toiletries and two changes of clothes in a backpack. She was only staying the weekend and it was already Friday night basically.
"I see," Avril said as she looked around, sitting on my bed. I saw her look over at all my guitar amps and equipment, seeing how much I really had. "Oh! I have pictures for you!" she blurted out excitedly. She looked so cute, so bubbly as she bounced around, genuinely excited to be with me once again.
"Are they nude?"
"Haha. There might be." Yes, I realize, that Avril had already seen my room in part two, but I don't feel like deleting a bunch of lines here and bridging two paragraphs right now. ...Months later, proofreading... still don't feel like it. She reached around in her giant black backpack and pulled out an envelope. "I kept the doubles. You can have these." I sat down on the left of Avril and took the pictures from her, thumbing through them. We had taken a bunch on the tour together with my digital camera, but she wanted to take real ones for something she could physically hold.
"I hope so. This is a nice one," I said as I got to one of the two of us sitting on her bus. I had my arm around her and she was leaning on my shoulder, our hands held together with interlocking fingers. We were both laughing and smiling wide as someone took our picture. I couldn't recall who at the moment.
"It is. That was a fun day," she said softly, recalling the day off where we went shopping and I bought her some things... a shirt and some flowers, some food. It was nothing special, but it was a day of normalcy for the superstar. She tilted her head away from me and tossed her hair to her left side, then leaned back towards me again.
"Oh yeaaaah!" I shouted. "There they are," I laughed as I came to a picture of her without a shirt on. She was only wearing a pair of jeans. As a joke I snapped a picture of her getting dressed after a shower in the morning. She was shirtless with her breasts hanging out in the fresh air, laughing as I captured an intimate private moment. "I think this one's going on the wall at school."
"Oh no it's not!" she laughed as she punched me in the arm.
"Aah, I'm kidding, I'm kidding." I continued to fumble through them as Avril's hand rested on my lower thigh. "These are really nice pictures of us Av. Thanks for giving me copies."
"It's no problem Matt." We sat in silence for a few moments as I put the pictures back in the envelope and placed them on the corner of my desk. "You lost some weight Matt. Everything okay?"
"Yeah. Why you ask?"
"Just seems like you lost a real lot in a couple of months." She turned to face me more, sitting on her right leg. I felt a cool breeze blow through my open window as I formed an answer to her comment.
"I've just been working out a lot... going to the gym every day."
"Oh. I'm not trying to say that something's wrong. You really look great. But you can tell me. You know that right? We're friends." Avril was only trying to be nice at that moment. She knew I was upset about Riss, and she was just trying to be a good friend. Avril brushed her long blonde hair back behind her. It had gotten a few inches longer since we last saw one another. It was down to the middle of her back now. I couldn't wait until I found clumps of it in the shower and strands of it in the sink. I'm gagging just thinking about it now. Ugh. Ugggh.
"I know Avy. Everything's fine."
"Matt!" I heard my mom yelling from the bottom of the stairs.
"What?" I said while walking over to the curtain, opening it to see what she wanted.
"I'm going to the store. Do you need anything for school? Food?"
"No. I'm fine." My mother said she needed to run to the mall and was going to the supermarket after, and if we were hungry and couldn't wait, Avril and I could go out. I walked back over to the bed seeing Avril lying down. I joined her, getting down next to her as she was on the proper side of the bed, the left side. LEFT SIDE! STRONG SIDE! LEFT SIDE! STRONG SIDE! We were both on our sides, facing one another. Her delicate hand moved to my cheek, her fingers gently caressing my face as she looked into my eyes. My hand found its way to her hip, resting half on her jeans and half on her skin as her shirt rode up a little. "My mom's going out. She said I should take you out for dinner because she's not going food shopping right away." More or less.
"Do you think we can work up an apatite first?" Avril asked me quietly.
"I'm sure we can." I leaned my head forward and pressed my lips to hers very gently. The two of us shared a slow open mouthed kiss that lasted for what seemed like hours. My hand subtly rubbed her bare midsection skin, moving completely off of her denim pants and onto the side of her abdomen. Avril's fingers snaked over my ear and through my hair as our bodies inched closer together. It felt great to kiss her at that moment. The room was lit up enough to not be really bright, setting the romantic mood. The air was crisp, a cool gently breeze blowing over us from the open window next to my bed. Avril's little pink lips were so soft as they rubbed against mine. I moved my hand across her side to her lower back, caressing it for a moment before my fingers pushed inside the back of her pants.
"Mmm," cooed Avril as my fingertips moved across her ass cheek. I couldn't fit my entire hand inside her pants due to them hugging her butt so tightly, but I did my best, feeling the bikini cut panties against the back of my hand. She scooted over towards me on my dark blue floral patterned comforter, our waists touching, rubbing back and forth as we crudely grinded against each other. I could feel my dick getting larger inside my olive colored cargo shorts, swelling up as she pressed her cooch against it.
After a few minutes of making out hardcore, I inched away so I could bring my hands down to the front of her jeans. I blindly fiddled with her studded belt, undoing up, then moving to the button on her jeans. Avril pushed her left hand through my hair, gripping onto it as she forced her tongue into my mouth, licking the inside of it. "Matt..." she moaned. Ziiiip. I slid my hands into her opened tight jeans, rubbing her pussy through her black panties. I could feel her wetness against my fingertips, obviously being turned on from me. "Matt... Wait..." she moaned as she tilted her head backwards, causing me to miss her mouth and land on the side of her neck right below her jaw. I playfully sucked on it, lapping the tip of my tongue against her warm soft skin. "Ohooo... That's good," she smiled ear to ear.
"What is it?" I asked, my eyes closed, still gently rubbing my lips on her neck.
"I'm on my period. You can't..." I continued to rub her horny vagina as she explained why we couldn't through her moans and groans. "You can't do that," she whispered, forcing my head between her shoulder and head, loving the attention I was paying to her erogenous zone. What the fuck was it with girls visiting me and their periods! I mean come on! I sucked on Avril's neck a little more as she wiggled around on the bed grinding into my hand. I didn't take it out of her pants, but stopped working my digits against her. She rocked her panty covered cunt against my hand for a little bit as we lustfully yet tenderly sucked face. "I'm sorry Matt," she said softly, trying not to upset me as we slowed down the oral attacks we were both commencing.
"Hey, its okay." I wasn't overly disappointed. I wasn't even going for sex at that time, but just trying to pleasure her. "I was only trying to make you feel good. We don't have to have sex hun."
"I know. I just don't like that when I'm... you know." 'Yeah. You and everyone else. Why don't you slap me across the face next,' I thought to myself. "So, is it like, almost over with? Or...?"
"I'm afraid not. Haha," Avril laughed, relieved to see I wasn't pissed off or anything. "I'm sorry if I ruined any plans you might ha..."
"Hey. No. Don't even. I'm just glad we're getting to spend time together. I missed you," I said, rubbing the backs of my fingers against her left cheek. Avril didn't respond, but just lied there silent and calm, her pants unbuttoned. She smiled as she looked into my eyes, lost in thought. She looked sort of like she did that night on the tour bus, somewhat distant and thoughtful, only happier. "You look so beautiful Avril," I told her in a soft voice, snapping her back into reality. "Such a beautiful young woman."
"There you go again... Making me feel so safe and special." I leaned forward, giving her a small soft romantic kiss on her thin pink lips. On her mouth. Her other lips were bloody.
We remained on the bed sort of cuddling and looking at one another for a little while. I ran my thumb over her lips, letting her kiss it and suckle it. "You have the prettiest lips ever. They're perfect," I said quietly as I could feel her pucker them and smile as I dragged my digit over them. "I love kissing them." Then, I kissed her once more, soft and gentle... timidly.
"You're so sweet," Avril said as she lightly scratched the side of my head, playing with my short brown hair.
"So what would you like to do tonight?" I asked her.
"I want to meet your friends. Would that be all right?" she replied.
"Yeah. Sure." Normally, I wasn't thrilled about girls I liked meeting my friends. It took Larisa a long time to meet my friends that didn't go to college with me. At school I had no choice. She was going to meet them and there was nothing I could do to prevent it. I was just weary of the whole thing, not wanting the girl to fall for a friend of mine. Even though Avril wasn't my girlfriend, I still had reservations. Matt. Party of two. JK JK. For some reason, I felt like it wasn't going to be a problem with her. It was apparent she had a crush on me. I guess I had a crush on her too, as much of a crush as you could get while being in love with someone else. I had definitely grown fond of the Canadian beauty... and her crimson puss.
I sat up, reaching over for my phone that was lying on my desk. I called up Gary, seeing what he was up to. The rest of my friends were at school and I didn't want to take her back there, being I just drove up from the campus. He said there was a party one of his friends was having. I didn't know who the girl was, but he said it'd be cool if Avril and I stopped by and hung out there. He said it wouldn't be a party party, but more like a group of people hanging out. A very chill atmosphere. I decided to go to his house first and then follow him there. I was a little uncomfortable just showing up alone as a friend of a friend. I mean I did have the ultimate guest and would have no trouble getting in, but I still felt awkward and uncomfortable... like a young boy showering with the old men in the locker room at the YMCA.
----------------------------------
It was a couple hours later that the three of us walked into the party. Gary and Avril caught up for a second or so outside the building, having already met back in January. As you can probably guess, a lot of heads turned. Gary introduced us around and everyone seemed to come up to Avril a lot more than me. All the guests, which were mainly sausage, came up and tried to flirt wit her a little, knowing she wasn't my girlfriend. There were some requests for an autograph. I tried to tell them to relax and not bother her, but Avril had no problem signing a few things or taking a few pictures. As the night progressed, the two of us split up and mingled around with everyone. I would find Avril looking over at me, shooting me a smile as people talked to her, obviously thinking more about me than the conversation she was participating in.
By about eleven or twelve at night, people were scattered around the apartment in couples. Guys were with their girlfriends or people paired up to talk. The extravaganza was winding down and a lot of people had left. Avril sat next to me on an old brown couch, her legs underneath her. She sat over to my left, leaning against me a little. My arm was draped over her as the two of us talked. "Are you having fun?" I asked her.
"Yeah. Your friends are nice." They weren't really my friends. I knew only a handful of people through Gary, only meeting them maybe once or twice if that. Avril's eyes looked heavy and she yawned as we talked. She leaned her head onto my shoulder, closing her blue eyes. The dimmed light of the room was probably contributing to her sleepiness. I ran my hand through her long blonde hair, taking a second to kiss her on the top of her head. I could see people around the common room area glancing over at us, wondering what our relationship status was. Some kids had asked me if we were a couple, saying Avril told them we're really, really close friends. I'm sure the two of us kissing a little throughout the night didn't help clear up the issue.
"Sweetheart, you wanna go home? Go to sleep?" I whispered softly to her.
"Yeah. I'm beat."
"Kay." We took a few seconds to get off of the sofa and walk over to the hostess. "Hey April, we're gonna take off. This one's tired," I said to the girl as I pulled Avril against me, my arm around her waist.
"Oh okay," the blonde said. "Thanks for coming! Avril it was so nice to have you over here!"
"I had a really nice time. Thank you for the fun night."
"Yeah. Thanks Ape," I added. The two girls hugged and then we made a quick loop around the room, saying goodbye to everyone else. As we got to the car, Avril apologized for making us leave.
"I'm just tired from traveling today. I'm sorry we left so early."
"Nah. It's fine. It was pretty slow the last hour or so. You wanna go home? Go to bed?" The drive was about ten minutes now that it was late and there was no traffic. It just depended on how many lights we hit on the way home.
"Yeah. That sounds good," she said. Avril rested her head on the side of the door on the plastic where the seatbelt came out of the wall. I tried to ease the car over the rough patches of road and avoid any bumps as to not make her hit her head. After all, I used to take the bus to high school, or as I call it, the mobile Hell in the Cell. It was like thunderdome. It was hard trying to sleep in the morning with your head slamming against the window all the time.
We arrived home after a short drive, hitting only one light. The light above the side door was on thanks to my mother. Avril had half dozed off during the trek home. "Hey, we're here," I whispered as I jostled her awake. She opened her eyes up wide and then rubbed them, trying to wipe the exhaustion out of her face. We got inside and she immediately went to the bathroom to take a leak and wash up. I did the same, only going to the basement bathroom to save time. I was pretty tired as well, the lack of excitement during the latter part of the party draining me.
I met Avril again in my bedroom. I was getting changed into the old dark green gym shorts I still had from high school. As I stripped my shirt off, Avril finished trudging up the stairs. "Make sure you..." I started to say, wanting to tell her to make sure the curtain was fully closed so that the light from the living room didn't shine through and annoy me. "Thanks," I added, seeing she was going to do it anyway. My mom always left the family room light on a dim setting to look like someone was home or awake so no one would try to break it. I guess the two cars in the driveway didn't do the trick.
