*ZACKY*

“Dude, come on. It’s been like what, 6 months since you dumped Amber?” Brian said.

We were all sitting in Matt’s house having a beer and Brian was insisting we take a trip to the strip club tonight. I rolled my eyes and sunk into the couch.

“So what? That doesn’t mean I need to go to the strip club.” I told him.

Johnny chuckled and sat down across from me.

“Hell yes it does. You need to get drunk and have a good time with a hot girl. And where better to do that than the Playpen.” Johnny said.

I rolled my eyes and chuckled.

“Okay, you’re right. I could use a good time.” I agreed.

Brian and Johnny slapped hands and Matt shook his head.

“Come on Matt, if I’m going so are you.” I told him.

Matt sighed with a smirked and looked at his phone.

“What the hell. Val’s at her mom’s for the night anyway.” He said.

We cheered and went to our homes to get ready.

“Hello Zachary.” Mrs. Wilder said as I passed her apartment.

I smiled at her and picked up her grocery bag from her arms.

“Hey Mrs. Wilder.” I said back. She smiled at me and opened her apartment door.

“What happened to that girl that used to visit you?” She asked me.

I sighed and set the bag on her counter.

“She moved.” I said with a shrug, like it meant nothing.

Mrs. Wilder shook her head and reached into her purse and pulled out ten dollars.

“That’s too bad. Here Zachary, take this.” She said as she pressed the money into my hand.

I shook my head and tried to give it back.

“Oh no Mrs. Wilder, it’s alright you keep it.” I said to her.

Mrs. Wilder put her hands on her hips and shook her head.

“No, that’s for you honey. You take it now.” She said.

I chuckled and nodded and gave her a hug. When I let her go, she turned her back to put the groceries away so I quietly set the money back on her table before ducking out of the apartment. I took the stairs two at a time and finally got to my apartment. I took my keys from my pocket and opened the door.

“Ichabod!” I called.

A few seconds later, my little baby came trotting down the hall. I picked him up and went into my apartment. I dropped him on my bed and pulled off my shirt and started rummaging for a nicer one. I settled on a black button up with a beater underneath. Before I put it on, I did a couple pushups to pump myself up, then put my shirts on. My hair was looking good, so I left it alone. After spraying myself with cologne, I decided I was dressed up enough.

Hey, I was only going to be taking my clothes back off right?

I gave Icky some more food and water and waited for Brian to pick me up. While I waited, I cracked open a bottle and started drinking. My gaze wondered to a photo on the end table. I sighed and picked it up. It was of me and Amber. She was sitting in my lap, holding a beer and kissing my cheek. I felt a pang in my chest so I put it back down.

Amber and I were like fire and gasoline. She had a nasty temper when she was sober but when she drank, it just got worse. I almost got evicted twice because of our shouting matches. In the end, she couldn’t handle me being a rock star and while we were on tour she got really drunk and hooked up with some guy then on her way home she wrecked my car into someone else’s and broke their leg. She’s currently doing one year in jail for DUI and reckless endangerment.

Icky crawled up in my lap and nipped at my fingers, snapping me from my thoughts. I sighed and patted him and went to get another beer.

“Oh Zacky, open the door babe.” Jimmy called from the hallway.

I smiled and went to open in.

“Hey Jim.” I said. Jimmy grinned and hugged me.

“Hey babe, ready to get your freak on?” He asked excitedly.

I laughed and grabbed my keys off of the small stand by the door.

“Hell yeah, let’s go!” I shouted as I closed the door behind me.

Jim smirked and shoved me before taking off down the stairs. I shouted after him and chased him. By the time we got outside, Brian was laying on the horn and throwing his hand out the window.

“Jesus, what the hell took you guys so long?” Brian asked. I rolled my eyes and got in Matt’s black hummer.

“Alright boys, let’s roll!” Johnny shouted.

We all shouted in agreement and Brian drove off towards Playpen, the hottest strip club in town.

The place was already packed when we pulled up. The valet parked the hummer and we went into the club. The owner recognized us and hustled his way over.

“What a pleasure it is to have Avenged Sevenfold in my club!” He said with a toothy grin.

We nodded and grabbed our drinks from the bar.

“I’ll tell you what gentlemen, for coming to my club I’m gonna hook you up in a VIP room with one of our girls for one hour, for free.” He said.

This guy looked like someone you’d expect to run a strip joint. He had black greasy hair that was slicked back and he wore some cheap red suit that looked like it was from the 70s.

“Great, thanks.” Matt said.

The man grinned and led us back to a long hallway with about 7 doors on the right.

“Pick a room, I’ll have a girl in shortly for you.” He said.

We nodded and started opening doors. I shrugged and went with the first one I saw, number one. I’ve been to my share of strip joints but I’ve never actually done this before. You know, have a ‘private party’? I just pay for my lap dance until get off or I take her home so this should be interesting.

I could hear giggling from the room beside mine and I smirked as I sat down on the bed. Johnny must be having a good time. A few minutes later, my door opened and standing in the door was a tall blonde with just a bra, a skirt, fishnets and heels on.

Her mouth hung open and she just stood in the doorway for a minute. I saw her boss come up behind her and push her into the room.

“Holy shit, you’re Zacky Vengeance aren’t you?” She asked me. I smirked and nodded.

“I am, and what should I call you?” I asked her.

I watched her demeanor change from shocked fan, to stripper in a micro second. She put her hands on her hips and slowly walked over to the bed.

“You can call me whatever you like.” She said in a sexy voice.

She wiggled her hips and did a little spin for me. She was beautiful. Her legs were long and her heels made them look even better. She wasn’t stick then, but by no means fat either. Her breasts were big and full and looked like they were gonna pop right out of her bra at the slightest movement. Her blonde hair was curled and came down to about the middle of her arms. Her eyes were a hazel color, but with more green and she had the most luscious lips I’ve ever seen.

“How bout a name?” I asked her. She smiled and shrugged.

“Sin.” She said slowly.

Sin walked over to me and kneeled on the bed.

“So Zacky, what do you want to do?” She asked.

Slowly, she closed the gap between us and started kissing my neck.

“You have me for a whole hour, we can do anything you like.” She whispered in my ear.

I shivered, then gently pushed her away.

“Anything?” I asked her. She smiled and rolled her eyes a little.

“Well, almost anything.” She said with a chuckle.

I smiled and sat up a little straighter.

“Could we just talk then?” I asked her.

Sin sat up and raised one of her eyebrows at me.

“What?” She asked. I smiled and rubbed the back of my neck.

“I don’t know, I just want to talk.” I said.

Sin laughed and laid on the bed, propping herself up with her elbow.

“You’re a famous rock star and you’ve just been given one hour with a stripper that’s willing to do anything you want, and all you want to do is talk?” She asked me with a smile on her face.

I shrugged and nodded.

“Well, yeah.” I said.

Sin laughed again and kicked off her heels.

“Well alright then, let’s chat.” She said with a grin.
