FUCK YOU LIKE THE DEVIL ₪ ø lll ·o.

Jared tapped his fingers on his steering wheel while sitting in his car across the street from where Shannon parked, yes he had followed his brother and yes he was spying now because dammit, he wanted to know who that woman was. Jay had prepared for this moment, two weeks in advance. As he sat in his car the singer munched on veggie chips and drank his usual green chai tea.

He had followed Shannon to the boulevard and parked when he did, he noticed that he stopped in front of a nice looking apartment building. Is this where the panda woman lived? Frowning some, Jared watched intently and waited for them to reemerge back from the building. Once more he was nodding off when he saw them from the corner of his eye. Placing his bag of chips into the passenger seat, he started his car up and pulled out when Shannon drove off.

This was it and he couldn’t wait, Jared was excited and only bounced in his seat about how he was finally going to see who she was. This person that made Shannon, his brother, so damn happy; Jared of course told Tomo about this situation but the guitarist only laughed and called him obsessed. The singer was quirky, yes. But he wasn’t that obsessed, least he didn’t think so. (Remember kiddies, the first step into admitting you have a problem is denial.)

 She turned and looked through the back window of Shannon’s rover, making sure to hold a hand onto her panda hat. Her chestnut locks swayed lightly.

            “Shannon, there’s someone following us…” Her voice was soft and sounded worried at the same time.

The drummer chuckled and lightly took her free hand in his to bring it up to his full lips and placed the softest of kisses.

            “Its just Jared, he’s been obsessed with finding out who you are.” He replied, chuckling again. She nodded and moved to lean against him a bit.

            “Why don’t we just tell him? Are you sure I can’t meet him?”

            “Yep; trust me, when he finds out that you are you, he’ll go nuts.”

Nodding she just smiled and kissed at his bare arm before moving to find something to listen to on the radio, when she had, the girl could only laugh before she wiggled away to dance. She was soon joined by Shannon, who was singing to the music.

            “I’ve got the moves like Shannon, yeah I got the mooooves, like Shaaannon!”

They both laughed and she easily started to sing Christina’s part of the song, making sure to rotate her hips slowly while holding out her hands while doing so.

            “So watch and learn. I won’t show you twice, head to toe.”

“Oooh baby rub me right.” She sang while brushing her hands down her sides slowly, the drummer’s eyes would follow her hands slowly. She would smile and brush her hair from her face.

            “Shannon, the light’s green.”

He swore and she laughed, shaking her head before moving to kiss his cheek and lean back against her seat and hummed softly. Shannon just watched the brunette; he honestly couldn’t believe that she wanted to be with him. Him, fuckin’ Shannon Leto, the older brother to Jared; that’s all Shannon would be really. The older brother to Jared, but she didn’t see him like that. She saw him for himself and his own person. Taking her hand softly, he brought it up to his lips and gave it another sweet kiss; she smiled and brushed back her curls behind her ear.

            “You’re being sweet again, Shani.” She said softly, looking at him. He only smiled and then finally started to pull into the parking lot of a restaurant; the place obviously not vegetarian. Smooth. When the drummer parked the large Rover, he grinned and hurriedly moved to get out and around to open her door.

            “Here we are sweetie. Just for you.” He smiled softly while looking at her.

She smiled and stepped out, brushing down her dark purple tutu dress, but then fluffing the skirt a little while looking at Shannon.

            “Do I still look pretty?” She questioned.

            “Breathtaking.” Was his response while taking her hand softly and lacing his fingers with hers. 

Her heels clicked onto the stone pavers as they stepped into the building. Shannon talking softly into her ear as she just moved to place her other hand on his bicep.

Jared parked a little away from the restaurant, but could still see his brother and the mystery panda woman enter, she didn’t have a hat on…was she still the Panda woman? Had to be. He frowned and just leaned back into his seat to watch. The poor forty-year old was stumped and wanted to figure out who she was.

            “Dammit Shannon…why do you have to be so stubborn…”
