Untitled, chapter 3
Tré had shouted Billie over and everybody sort of disappeared and tried to make themselves look busy. Billie and I talked for about an hour over drinks and he really began to open up to me, he told me why him and Adie split. It was because she couldn't handle him being away touring all the time. Then we got on to the subject of him liking me. I don't know why but I came out with "Tré has some crazy idea that you like me."
Billie replied with "It's not crazy it's true." and right there infront of everyone he kissed me square on the lips. I didn't know what to do I was in shock so I just did what felt right and kissed him back.

For the next few months we were totally inseparable and loved being in each others company. The Deadly Sins finished the first album named Jealousy and the first song was due to be released the month after, so we were going on a promotional tour playing/being interviewed on T.V and doing some 'instore' stuff, and the best part is Green Day could come with us!
Before leaving for the tour we were going to move out of my cousin's house and into one we could split the rent between us in. It was not an easy job it's unbelievable the amount of crap you gather in a matter of months! 3 days and about 7 van loads later and we were in, but there was no time to unpack - we were off!
***
We were 6 weeks into promoting the debut and we were going back home.
"Woohoo back in Sunny Scotland!" I said happily.
"Sunny my arse! It snowed in bloody March my wellie's still haven't recovered," Tanya retorted causing everyone to laugh.
"Fair point there - everytime I come to Scotland it's bloody raining," Billie sighed whilst burying his head into my neck as if trying to hide from the rain.
"You get used to it eventually, anyway please tell me we are getting taxi - or at least a bus the hotel is miles away!" I added whilst giving Billie Joe a kiss.
Mike phoned for a taxi and after about an hour of getting lost, and me having to give directions to the cabbie for around Edinburgh. He was from England - you would think that if you were going to move to Scotland and work as a cabbie you'd atleast learn the street names! We finally arrived at the hotel, with about an hour to spare, about 30mins of that was going to be getting changed and in hair and make-up before the interview on GMTV, it was moved to Scotland from England. In the 20mins before I had to go to hair and make-up me and Billie were in our room just chatting, me lying on the couch and him in the in the bedroom putting his bag through. He disappeared and came through clutching 2 steaming mugs of coffee, he set them down on the coffee table and came and lay beside me. We started to make out, me gently nibbling on his lip and him running his tongue along my teeth, as if asking for entrance I let his tongue massage mine then we swapped and I did the same to his - the door burst open and Ben and the rest of the guys came in.
"You two horny buggers at it again?! For Christ's sake get a room," Ben said trying not to laugh
"We have one - it's just you're in it," Billie Joe replied through gritted teeth.
"Well soz but we got hungry."
"You do have a mini bar," I joined in.
"Yeah we know but Tré and Mike have already raided ours."
"K fine you can raid ours but be quick."
"Why do yous 2 wanna get back up to no good?" Matt asked with a devilish look.
"Yeah that and the interview starts in 10mins," Billie Joe replied.
I've never seen anyone demolish a mini bar so fast! Anyway the interview started and we were sitting on a couch opposite the presenter, Jenny Falconer.
"Hi and today on the couch we have some home grown talent they are a brand new band from right here in Edinburgh! They are The Deadly Sins! Welcome, welcome how are ya's?"
"We are very good thank you, shattered but we're good," Ben answered.
"Where about in Edinburgh are yous from?"
"Well me and Tanya are technically from Leith but our parents moved us when we were toddlers, to a place just outside of Edinburgh called Tranent, we met the guys when we were in high school," I answered.
"Oh cool, now the question on everybody's lips is how did 5 people from a relatively small town get themselves a multimillion pound record deal?"
Eccy explained how we were signed.
"What kind of music do you guys play?" she asked.
"Mostly alternative punk, and punk itself," Eccy answered
"Oh cool - Ashlee a little birdie tells me that you are dating your manager, Billie Joe Armstrong, is this true? And if so how does his ex-wife and kids feel about it?"
"I might be," I replied coyly. "Nah it is true we've been going out for a few months now and Adie seems to be cool with it, I love kids and Joey and Jake are no trouble their great. "
The rest of the interview went along the same lines, we spoke about the album and we performed our new single.

Only being in Edinburgh for 2 days is definitely not enough time to show the guys our favourite places to eat and hang out. But we did our best, on the last night we went to the club in Cockburn Street and there was a local band playing but I can't remember their name - hmm... it's a puzzle. I bumped into my best friend of all time Claire we met when we were 3 and just started nursery and have been friends ever since, to this day she can't believe I was with Billie. The next day we went back to California.
***
"Thank god I'm back in Cali," Tré stated while ducking as 5, full 2litre bottles of water were chucked at his head by everyone from Scotland.
"And what pray tell is wrong with Scotland?" Tanya inquired getting another bottle ready incase he said something mean.
"Nothing nothing, just the weather sucks ass, and I can't understand anybody there."
"Hey you can understand us, and anyway the Edinburgh accent isn't as strong as the Glasgow one," I added, sooking up to Billie.
We ended up having a huge argument over whose accent was better, the Scottish or the American, personally I prefer the Irish accent to either, but the Scottish one rocks.
***
I had just finished unpacking all of my shit in to my wardrobes and cupboards so as you can imagine I looked like shit, I had an old t-shirt that said 'Kiss My Ass' on it and my velour tracksuit bottoms on when to my dismay the door went. Thank God it was only Billie Joe, there wasn't much he hadn't seen of me anyway seeing as we'd had sex now, and oh my god it was amazing.
"Hey baby hows you?" I asked while giving him a kiss.
"Yeah I'm good thanks," he replied while kissing me back, "We need to talk."
Billie replied with "It's not crazy it's true." and right there infront of everyone he kissed me square on the lips. I didn't know what to do I was in shock so I just did what felt right and kissed him back.
