* temporary bliss

[alexandria kaylee grace]

To be quite honest, Alex was starting to miss her old model lifestyle. She'd been riding around with Jesse and his band for a while now, working as their merch girl, and it was fun and all but she was starting to miss having professional shoots done and all that. But really that was about it because while on tour she still got to move around to different places and met new people almost every night. So she couldn't really complain. And plus, she got to travel with her friends too, so that was always good. She had familiar faces that she could go out and party with. So it wasn't completely bad, and she wasn't going to lie, getting to listen to loud music and meeting up with other cute band dudes was pretty amazing as well. This was just the kind of thing Alex was made to do. She had her fun with someone for one night, then got to leave the next without having any sort of strings attached. It was all just a fun ride. Except for the fact that she was starting to get a little too attached to her best friend, Jesse. He'd changed a lot since the first time she'd met him on tour... and she couldn't help but be attracted. Still though, she wasn't sure if she was the one for him. Personally, she felt as if he deserved better than her and she knew that she'd most likely only end up hurting him some way or another. So she was going to try to keep to her regular party girl ways. However, she was going to need a little help, and her little friend Pix was just the girl who could help her out.

Alex knew that she was taking a risk by going over to the tour bus Pix was staying in, but she assured herself that she could keep her cool. If she were to happen to run into Travis or his disgusting girlfriend D, she'd be able to control herself. She'd pay no mind to them and continue on with her search for Pix. The last thing she needed was to start some sort of cat fight on a crowded tour bus. Yes, of course she would love to attack either one of the idiots, but she wasn't sure if either of them were really worth her time. She knew for sure that Travis wasn't, because she was just about done with that man. Everything about him annoyed her. His idiotic ways. The fact that he'd sleep with anything that had legs. His filthy way of living. His messy hair and scruffy face.... All of it. She hated all of it. Even thinking of him made her hands bunch up into fists. She had no idea how one pathetic person could get so far under her skin, but Trav could. Ugh. She better not run into him, because she was pretty sure she'd be hit with a wave of confusion and mixed emotions. Because try as she might... there was still something about the guy who had her wanting to see him. But of course she wouldn't allow herself to accept that.

When Alex approached the bus, she didn't even bother to knock on the door. She let herself in and walked around, looking for Pix. She was cautious though, afraid that around one of the corners would be the person she was trying to avoid the most. Luckily, the bus was empty. This was both a relief and disappointment for her. She had been hoping that Pix would be here so they could go out and do a little shopping or something, but she must already be out. With a bit of a huff, she turned around and walked back to the front of the bus. Might as well get out of here as soon as possible. One of the bandmates might show up and she really wasn't in the mood to talk to any of them. But of course, when she reached the door to leave, the devil himself walked through the threshold

Travis was loving his life on tour. It was an absolutely amazing experience that he was never going to forget for as long as he lived. It was very amusing to see people from different places and be idolized by them. He enjoyed all of the attention he could get from every single female audience member that paid the general admission fee. The sound of his name, the sound of his lyrics, his confidence, their beauty, it was just a crazy life. Of course, all of that had to stop once he stepped off stage and back onto his bus, where pregnant Delilah would be waiting for him after the show. It was one thing to be her boyfriend but he was actually married to this girl and she was having his twins a few months from now. It should have registered in his brain that looking at other girls was wrong but that’s not how he saw it. Travis figured that he was a-okay so long as he didn’t cheat on her or anything like that. A part of him thought he had put his cheating days behind him but it seemed like everything changed since Alexandria joined them on tour as Jesse’s guest.

He honestly couldn’t stand Jesse. Trav had stolen Delilah away from him and he had all the intentions of taking Alex away too. Jesse had no backbone and wouldn’t stand up for himself or defend what was his. Trav had no respect for him whatsoever and that was very obvious to everyone on tour. Sure, Alex was Trav’s ex girlfriend but it didn’t matter, according to him, she was still his. Eventually, he knew there would come a time where he’d get her alone and all hell would break loose. But until then, he enjoyed sending her flirty sideways glances and smirks. Trav couldn’t think of the reason why they broke up off the top of his head but he was sure that it was because he had done something stupid as always. From what he could remember, they had a great time together even when they were fighting and getting in each other’s face then making up five minutes later. He had to admit, Alex’s pout had always been cute.

The day was fairly bright and sunny and it was about that time in the afternoon for sound check for tonight’s show. All of his other band mates were grabbing their equipment together and getting ready. Darling Pix was setting up the merch tables and taking inventory. Trav never thought he’d see the day where she actually did her job but he supposed there was a first time for everything. Realizing he had forgotten something on the bus, Trav took his time to go get it. Just as he was about to climb the steps to his bus, he came face to face with Alex. His characteristic smirk appeared on his lips as he stood in her way from leaving the bus. It was tempting to keep her captive here for a few minutes, besides, what was she doing on his bus anyway? Aw, is my little fan girl looking for Trav’s personal items for her shrine? Or maybe you’ve come to see me. This was amusing him much more than it really should be.

Alex could feel her blood heat up as she stared into the eyes of her most hated enemy. Oh yes, she knew how he liked to play little games with her. The flirty smiles, quirky comments, and seductive stares. She knew that he was just trying to get under his skin, though she wasn't completely sure why. He was married now and was expecting a couple of brats some time soon, so why even bother trying to get her attention? It was pretty obvious. Travis was never happy with just one female in his life, and she didn't blame him for wanting something other than D. Being with her had him tied down. He was now expected to be a caring husband and a loving father, and he was anything but that. She could tell by the way he acted on stage that he longed to have those reckless nights where he could sleep with anyone he pleased and could drink until the sun came up. Sadly, he'd lost that privileged once he decided to tie the knot. He should have seen that he was better off with Alex, because she wasn't one to completely tie him down. He'd still have a certain amount of freedom with her. But no, he tossed that all in the trash and their time was now over, and she had no intention of taking him back. She'd been there and done that, once was enough.

As soon as that stupid smirk crossed his lips, Alex was starting to give him the death stare. What she really wanted was to blow up in his face, right then and there. She wanted to tell him how much of an idiot he was for leaving her. For hurting her. She wanted to push him right through the door, hopefully having him break something because of the fall. But she didn't. She knew that those sort of things wouldn't be as nearly as effective as playing mind games with him would be. A sexy, yet dangerous smile formed on her pale pink lips. Oh yes, she had something better in mind. He had spent all this time attempting to get under her skin, trying to annoy her to no end. It was about time she returned the favor.

The woman slowly walked up to him, her heels clicking on the hardwood floor. She placed a hand on his shoulder and let her fingers play with the fabric a little. A small laugh passed through her lips due to his question. " You'd like that wouldn't you? The image of me worshiping must be a real turn on. " Alex smirked. At this point there was hardly any room between them. Her mouth was dangerously close to his. She moved in closer, as if too kiss him, but only ended up biting her lip and pulling away slightly. " But no, I haven't come to do either of those things. I was actually looking for Pix. I wanted to see if I could borrow a pair of her heels... for my date with Jesse tonight. " Alex smiled sweetly and looked up at the male through her dark lashes. She knew just how much he loathed Jesse, so bring him into play would most likely get his blood boiling, and that's just what she wanted. She wanted to see him angry. To have him feel like she felt every second of every day, and knowing Travis, that wouldn't be all that hard to accomplish.

Travis loved to bother Alex just because he knew that he could. She was a fiery little one and he couldn’t help but to be amused by her in every aspect… he always had been. The girl didn’t care what she wore and didn’t hide any of her curves. She walked around half naked just because she could and she didn’t give a damn about what anyone had to say about it. Alex was a man eater, and she would chew them up and spit them out like no one’s business. Travis liked to think that he was the only one she couldn’t eat but he was probably wrong. A majority of their relationship consisted of him following her around like a lost puppy in need of a loving home. She had provided him with that in many ways so when the relationship ended, he was a bit lost and couldn’t choke down the embarrassment and apologize to her for whatever he had done. He would be lying if he didn’t think about being with her again but technically speaking, he really shouldn’t be thinking those kinds of thoughts. Travis was happily married to Delilah and he was going to be a father again. The twins would make his kid count up to four. Sure that fact didn’t make him the best guy in the world but if it helped his case any, number two still had yet to be confirmed.

The look on her face was priceless. It was evident that she hated him with everything she had but he knew there was a chance that deep down way past her tough exterior, she still cared about him. She had to, especially after all of the reckless nights they shared together. Hanging out with her had always been such fun and carefree. Why he cashed in on that, he didn’t know. Trav watched her carefully, knowing she was going to try to make him weak and cloud his game. He had to admit she was doing quite a good job at it. It was enough to be this close to her. He could smell the familiar fragrance of her shampoo; it had always been his favorite.

His eyes rolled playfully at her first set of words. Actually, he would like that, a lot. But Travis knew better than to let that on. As much as he’d like to think she was here to tease and taunt him, he knew that wasn’t the case. Alex would never step foot on this bus knowing there was a chance she’d run into D. It wasn’t a second longer that he knew her true intentions. A scowl crossed his lips at the mentioning of Jesse. His eyes narrowed and he stepped closer to her, if that was even possible at this point. Oh so you’re a lesbian now? Jesse was hardly a man, the kid was a girl, who whined about everything and never got laid. Alex when are you going to learn that there isn’t anyone in this world that is better for you than I am? A smirk reappeared on his lips as he ran his nose across the top of her head. Keep lying to yourself, sweetheart. See where that is going to get you.

Alex was already having way too much fun with this. She was at the point where she wanted to tease him, to pull him along and then drop him like a bad habit. But she could that the more she resisted him, the more she wanted to tear off his clothes. Still though, the girl kept her composure. She knew that so willingly taking him back would only make her look like some clingy ex girlfriend who was desperate for his love, and that wasn't what she wanted at all. She wanted to make him work for her. Alex wasn't the type to just give herself to anyone. You had to prove yourself worthy, and as far as she was concerned, Travis was anything but. It was one thing to break her heart, but to go off an get married and then try to get her back? Well that was just a whole other ball game. If he expected her to go around, acting like a sleazy whore by hooking up with him when he was a taken man, he was sadly mistaken. There was no way she was going let him have her if she had to share, let alone having her sneak around for some scandalous affair. That just wasn't an option. The only way this was going to work is if he got rid of D, and she wasn't sure if Mr. Travy was willing to do that.

The girl let her perfectly manicured nail skim the skin of his cheek, smirking as his scruff prickled her finger. If there was one thing that she still liked about him, it would have to be his man beastliness. To most it was a complete turn off, but to her it was just so attractive. It made her want to do... plenty of things to him. Too bad he had an awful personality. If he could just learn to shut up and do as he was told, she would possibly rethink taking him back. But she doubted that Travis was ready to listen to her. Talking some sense into that fat head of his had always been difficult for her.

Alex's features instantly lit up when the obvious annoyance fell upon his face. She giggled happily, knowing that she had hit a nerve. Oh how she loved seeing him angry. It only increased his sex appeal to her. " Oh no no. I am not a lesbian. If you haven't noticed, Jesse has grown up into a very attractive man. I must say, I do enjoy feeling his muscles wrapped around me. " Alex pressed herself against Travis after he took a step closer, so that the fabric of his t-shirt rubbing against her exposed stomach. With a dangerous smile, her hands slid down his sides, only sneak their way under his shirt. Her fingers trailed lightly over his sides, then eventually moved over to explore the planes of his chest. " Mm, I don't think so love. I'm not into married men. " She smirked and shivered a bit when Travis made his move. At this point, her hands were slowly lifting his shirt, ready to get rid of the unwanted fabric that was keeping them from skin-on-skin contact. " Travis..." Alex moved her lips up to his ear, purring his name ever so softly. " I think you need to realize that I'm the only one you're ever going to want. " Her voice was just a whisper as her lips trailed along his neck, slowly finding their way up to his lips. She knew she shouldn't, but her body now had a mind of it's own. And it wanted him.
