Let Me Love You {on your knees} book 1

Chapter # 5

ANDY'S P.O.V-

After I shut the door, I noticed Bella step backwards like usual. She also held her hands together, I'm guessing to try and stop their shaking. But it wasn't working because it made her arms vibrate all the way up to her shoulders.

She just stood there, staring at me awkwardly and grinning like she was in pain. I couldn't help but smile. Her nervousness made me want her even more. What I wouldn't do to feel her body quiver beneath mine...

"So.. How about you just give your friends the address of my hotel and you ride with me?" She shrugged her shoulders and her eyebrows furrowed.

"I-i don't know... They might get mad at me...."

I couldn't help but step closer. She must have been deep in thought because she didn't move away this time. "No they won't. They'll understand. I'm Andy Biersack remember. How could you resist not riding with me?"

I tried to give her the most seductive look I could, even intentionally biting my lip. For a second I thought it might have been too much for her because her whole face turned bright red and she mumbled something inaudible under her breath.

I chuckled. "What?"

She cleared her throat. "Ok dammit. Youre making it hard to say no... Looking at me like that."

I wasn't expecting her to say anything to that extent and it gave me chills. Was she caving... Already?

And then she spoke again, snapping me out of my thoughts. "But don't get fresh with me. Your charms won't work on me. Friend." Her nervous, rosey face suddenly turned smug. Her lips curled up into a side smile. I had to swallow a large lump in my throat.

She was turning me on and it took all I had in me not to jump her right there and then. I could see her protesting at first but I knew she would eventually relax into me and let me take control. If not now, it was going to happen and soon.... The lust I was feeling for her was burning through my veins and making it hard to breathe.

I know it sounded crazy. I had just met her. But I was the kind of person who knew what I wanted, right away. I didn't need to get to know her. I didn't need to do the awkward dating, courting dance... Well ok, maybe I would have to a little bit with her. She was stubborn. But I knew it was a cover. She was hiding her fearful excitement with her smart alec, smug remarks.

"Give me the address. I'll text Ace."

As I watched her text her friend, her brow started to crease. She almost looked irritated. I couldn't help but wonder why and I had to ask.

"Something the matter?"

She glanced up at me briefly. Sighing. "He's gonna be so jealous...." It irritated me that she didn't explain further.

"Who? Ace?" I didn't want to pry.., ok yes I did. I wanted to know more. I wanted to know everything. I wanted to understand her life. The more you knew, the more of an upper hand you would have.

She nodded, finishing up her text and then she began to twirl her phone in her hands. I felt guilty for a brief second, prying my way into her life, but I knew there was no stopping it now. I had set my sights on her and I would see this through.

"Is he an ex boyfriend or something?" I watched her glance past me, at the door for a brief second before looking up at me. I could tell she was feeling some sort of upset.

"No.... I just feel bad because he has this huge crush on me and he gets jealous so easily when I talk about other guys. I think he's intimidated by you. Not that he would ever have a chance... With me. He's still my friend and I don't like hurting people."

My heart clenched for a brief second at the sadness in her voice. But then it was quickly overcome by a twinge of my own jealousy. It sounded like this guy felt some kind of entitlement to Bella. That wasn't ok with me. That was going to create a problem. I just had a feeling.

Startling her, I grabbed both of her wrists in my hands and leaned down so we were eye level. Her eyes widened. "You don't belong to him. Stop feeling guilty. You're aloud to hang out with whoever you want to, do you understand me?" I knew those words would come back to haunt me. Because I didn't want her to be anyone else's.... But mine.

I had already claimed her. She just didn't know it yet.

BELLA'S P.O.V-

My skin seemed to burn where Andys hands held my wrists. I held my breath for a few seconds before finding my voice again.

"I know..." Was all I could manage to squeak out. "I-I know, I just-"

"You just what?" He moved even closer and I inhaled sharply. His chest was almost against mine.

"A-Andy... Can you... Please move back a little bit." He moved his one hand from my wrist to the back of my neck. A single one of his fingers ran up and down the side of it.

"What's wrong?" He practically cooed into my ear.

"I'm going to pass out. I'm not kidding." And as soon as the last word left my lips he let me go. My eyes had clenched shut but I could feel that he was no longer close to me, so I decided to open up my eyes again.

He was standing there, grinning ever so brightly with his arms crossed over his chest.

"I'm sorry. But I would have given you mouth to mouth if you would have passed out. I would of caught you too."

I glared at him, my embarrassment turning into anger. "What happened to you just wanting to be my friend?

He began to laugh. "I do just want to be your friend, I was only concerned because you seemed upset. I wanted to make you feel better."

WOW. Really. That cocky, lying little-

"Come on, we better get going." He looked at the watch on his wrist. "It's 8:54, we're going to be late and I'm sure everyone is going to be suspicious of what we're up to."

I blatantly rolled my eyes at him, causing him to grin widely at me again.

"Fine. Let me get my purse. I'll be right back."

I gave him a stern look as I turned to go back up stairs. And as I walked I could feel his eyes watching my ass as I went.

¥

He opened the car door for me, I got in and he closed it. As soon as he got in, he started it up and we were pulling out of my driveway.

I started to put on my heels when I felt his eyes on me again. I looked over at him to find him examining my legs. "The road?"

He smiled and nodded. "I know what I'm doing I got this." Was all he had to say. The cockyness I had assumed was there all along was really starting to show its ugly face.

It irritated me to my core because I found it extremely attractive. I had never known someone like Andy before in my entire life.

It grew quiet in the car and I kept my eyes straight, staring out over the dash. I wasn't sure what to say anymore.

ANDY'S P.O.V-

She wouldn't even look at me. The quiet was becoming way too quiet and I was starting to fiend for her voice.

"What are you thinking about?" I couldn't help but ask her. She still didn't look at me and I was extremely bothered by it.

"Having fun.... The look Ellies going to have on her face when you walk through the door." I laughed so hard, and I saw her jump out of the corner of my eye. I was so used to being obsessed over. But this... I had never had to 'chase' someone before. And chasing was exactly what Bella was making me do.

"Is your friend single?" She immediately shot me a strange look. It almost looked like.... Was she jealous? That made me extremely excited to think about, it had my heart doing little flip flops.

"No. And DON'T flirt with her. Her boyfriend is such a nice guy, he doesn't deserve that. He's been there for her for a long time and I know he's going to be sticking around as long as she wants him. That's the kind of guy she needs in her life."

Her words kind of hit me hard and the excited happy feeling I had just had, completely vanished. I couldn't help but be offended. The tone of her voice had her words covered in a thick assuming glaze. She was assuming that I wasn't that kind of guy. That I wasn't the kind of guy to 'stick' around.

We pulled up into the hotel parking lot and I turned off the car. She immediately pulled on the handle unlocking her door and I quickly pushed the auto lock button, locking it up again.

I heard her gasp and then turn to look at me with wide, scared eyes.

I leaned in close to her and had her pressing her back against the door.

"Don't assume to know what I'm about. You're going to find yourself pleasantly surprised."

I unlocked the doors and opened my door, flinging one leg out of the car.

Before I went to get out, I turned to look at her again, her back was still pressed against her door, her eyes still wide.

"Oh and also, your friend isn't the one that I'm interested in. I have someone else in mind." With that I got out, smiling smugly to myself.

BELLAS P.O.V-

Andys sudden mood change had be trembling. I must have said the wrong thing. I mean obviously I had offended him. Because he was right. I was assuming that he wasn't the kind of guy to stick around.

His question just caught me completely off guard. I had no idea where he was going with it.

I slowly got out of the car, shutting the door to walk around to the front of it where Andy stood, smoking a cig. I grabbed one out of my purse and lit it.

"I-Im sorry...." I said, nervously pushing a piece of my hair behind my ear and then took a huge drag from my cig.

And thankfully, he smiled at me. "It's ok, you'll make it up to me." My heart skipped a beat and I had no idea how to respond to that. Instead I pulled my phone out of my purse to look at the time. It was 9:15...

"s**t we're late...." I managed to whisper.

Andy shrugged his shoulders. "The night is young, what's 15 minutes."

He threw his cig down and I did too. "Alright come on Isabella." He started to walk quickly to the front door as I struggled to keep up with him in these heels. He had extremely long legs too which made it even more difficult.

As soon as we stepped inside, every one looked at us. Jake and Jake, CC, Ashley, Jinxx, Ellie, Emmett, Lindsey and Ace, who was more glaring, just as I had expected he would be. There were other people too that I didn't recognize. Maybe some of the other band members girlfriends.

Ellie was grinning from ear to ear as I had predicted and it looked like she wanted to jump out of her seat.

"There you guys are! I was wondering if you'd ever make it... If you know what I mean." Ashley's voice was dripping with insinuation. I felt my face flush red and I just wanted to cover it with my hand. I resisted the urge though and instead just laughed.

"Shut up dude. We just got caught in traffic. It's a Saturday night in LA after all." Almost everyone laughed and simultaneously one by one everyone began to stand up.

"So where are we going first?" Andy asked no one in particular. "Obviously you guys are ready to go somewhere."

CC threw his hands up. "Far Bar first!"

Of course we were going to a bar... Dammit. I wouldn't be able to drink. I was 18. Well so was Ellie. Emmett was the only 21 year old in our crew. At least we could get some food. I was starving.

As I turned to walk out with everyone, Andy placed his hand gently on the small of my back. "I know what you're thinking." He whispered into my ear. "A bar and being 18 doesn't mix, but I promise you you'll get away with it being with me."

That excited me and made me nervous at the same time. Being Drunk around Andy....

We all poured out of the front doors and just as I went to catch up to Ellie, who was surprisingly not ogling Andy, a hand encircled my wrist and pulled me in the opposite direction. I stumbled back a little bit and arms wrapped around my waist, keeping me up right.

"Ride with me." Andy's mouth hovered at me ear, his hot breathe inside of it making me feel light headed. Not letting my eyes flutter shut at the amazing chills erupting all over my body I scanned the surrounding area to see if anyone was watching. No one was. Half of the group were already getting into their cars and starting them up.

I grabbed onto his arms and gently removed them from my waist, turning to face him. "Ok, if you insist."

He reached out and grabbed my hand while turning in the direction of his car.

"Hey, I thought I told you I don't hold hands with boys I don't know."

As we reached his car, he opened the passenger door for me, his lips formed into a crooked grin. "You're getting there... Slowly."

I got in and he shut the door and then I watched him walk around to get in too. After starting the car, he took a cig from his pack in the middle compartment and lit it. "You want one?" He held the pack out to me and I took it. "Thanks."

We rolled down the windows and pulled out. I couldn't help but stare at him as he turned the wheel with one hand, puffing on his cig. He looked so cool. He looked so hot....

Before we left he had taken off his tux jacket, and tie. I smiled at his simple misfits t. Even though he looked extremely handsome and dashing all dressed up, he looked even better like this. In his tight black pants, boots and t shirt.

I had seen so many pictures of him, dressed in so many ways. But this suited him well. I was sure that he didn't need clothes to look cool anyway. I'm sure he'd be just as cool.....dammit Bella don't think it! But of course I did.

I'm sure he'd look just as cool without any clothes.

I took a long drag of my cig after that thought and let it out slowly. I couldn't let this go too far. Flirting was one thing, but... Being physical was another. There was just no way. My virgin self and a....I'm sure experienced guy like himself... It just.... wouldn't be worth his time. I'd make a fool out of myself.

ISABELLA LYNN BRENNEN! I screamed at myself in my head. This wasn't like that. We were just friends. Nothing more was going to come of this. For Pete sakes! I just met him... Even though I semi felt like I knew him for a decade. Thanks to Ellie... Of course.

But my mind was running rampant all of a sudden and I felt like I couldn't stop it. I had been keeping it on a pretty tight leash up until about now. At least I thought... But the more time I spent with Andy, the harder it became.

And why had he taken such an interest in me? Why did he want to be my 'friend' and hang out with me all of a sudden... I had a feeling he wouldn't be 100% honest with me if I asked him.

Stupid thoughts. Why couldn't I just enjoy myself and look forward to what was ahead. I felt way too tightly wound around Andy. I didn't want to let my guard too far down... Not just yet anyway. I mean maybe we could actually just be actual friends.

"Bella?" His voice snapped me out of my emotional dilemma and I looked from the window to him. We had stopped at a red light.

"Yeah what's up?" He pointed to my hand. "I think you should probably ash your cig now..."

I look down at the butt in between my fingers. It was attached to the longest ash I had ever seen. Oh my God.... I was too busy thinking I had forgotten all about smoking my cig.

I threw it out the window and then smiled nervously at him. "Whoopsie. Thanks for noticing. I would have felt bad if I ashed all over your car."

He raised an eyebrow at me. "Are you ok there darlin?" Don't call me darlin.... Dammit Andy, you're not helping. "Yeah, yeah... I'm good." I replied, not elaborating and pulled out a cig from my pack, lighting it up.

The light turned green and he took his scrutinizing eyes off of me, thankfully and it felt like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders.

But just when I thought he had dropped it, he slid his hand onto my thigh and squeezed it tightly. My whole body jolted and I whimpered as my side hit the door.

"If we're going to be friends that's one thing you definitely can't do, ok."

My heart started to thud in my chest and I watched him pull his hand away and place it back on the wheel.

"W-what? Do what?"

He took his eyes off of the road and I could see that he was grinning devilishly. f**k, not that look.....

"Lie to me."
