Part 3 - Study buddies
Veronica
I wondered into the kitchen a bundle of nerves, Eddie Munson was going to be studying at my house in twenty minutes. Twenty minutes! Holy shit! I grabbed some cookies that I had made earlier and put them on a plate, a bag of chips some sodas than ran up to my room. Study sessions had been going really well this past month, I am so impressed by how motivated Eddie has been, though keeping him on task can be a bit of a challenge, it's like his mind is always going off in eight different directions.He's so smart, it is just a matter of keeping him focused.
" Here you go, don't study too hard! It was nice meeting you Eddie."
He smiled that charming smile of his" It was a pleasure meeting you Mrs. Carver." She smiled at him then closed the door. I watched him scope out my room, taking it all in. " Duran Duran, Bon Jovi?"
" I told you I listen to everything."
" I bet you think they are hot." He smirked as he walked over and dropped his backpack on the floor near my bed. " May I?" He motioned to my bed.
" Have a seat. "
" So, do you think they are dreamy?" He wiggled his eyebrows at me.
" Your such a dork, but if you must know Ritchie Sambora hold a special place in my heart."
" You like long haired guys that play the guitar ?" he raised his eyebrows " Asking for a friend."
" You have a friend?" I asked faking surprise.
Eddie laughed,"Smartass . Do you know who holds a special place in my heart? Your mom. They weren't kidding when they said she was hot." I threw a pillow at him and he laughed. "Seriously though."
" You're an asshole."
He laughed and leaned a little closer."I'm your favorite asshole."
It was my turn to laugh. "Alright, you got me there."
He smiled." Knew it!" He looked down at my bed as he made himself comfortable." So is that some kind of new studying technique?"
"What? What are you talking about?"
He pointed to the book I had 'casually' thrown open to a random page." Reading upside down? Seems like a unique learning technique to me."
I looked down and sure enough the book in front of me was upside down. Smooth, Veronica, real smooth. I blushed. "You are on fire today Munson. What has you so amped up?"
" You want to know?" He reached down into his bag and pulled out a paper, put it down on the bed in front of me." 86 baby! I got an 86! The highest grade I have ever gotten in Ms. O'Donnells class! You see that there? She wrote nice job, and not see me after class!"He fist pumped.
"Eddie that is awesome!" Before I knew what I was doing I leaned forward and wrapped my arms around him in a hug. " I'm so proud of you."
"I couldn't have done it without you." After a moment's hesitation I felt his arms slide around me and hug me back. He held on a moment then slowly backed away. We smiled at each other then sat back on opposite sides of the bed.
" I am simply showing you tips and tricks for studying, you are the one doing all the work." I reached over and grabbed a cookie off my nightstand and handed it to him then grabbed one for myself." A celebratory cookie for an outstanding job."
He took a big bite." Damn, your mom makes some amazing cookies."
"I made these amazing cookies because I knew you were coming over."
He flashed me a big smile. " You made them for me?"
" I did."
" Did you put on lip gloss for me too?"
Shit he noticed, be cool." I didn't put on lip gloss, I put on lip balm. My lips felt chapped"
" From kissing ass all day."
" Wow." I rolled my eyes at him." That's sweet."
" Do you expect any less from me?"
" No." I got up from my bed and grabbed a scrunchie off my vanity and threw my hair up into a messy bun on top of my head. "Enough chit chat Munson, we have work to do. Did you bring your history book?"
" No, I forgot it in my locker."
I retrieved mine from my backpack and popped on my reading glasses." We can just share mine." I climbed back onto my bed and sat next to Eddie. " We can read this unit then work on the questions together ok?" I put the book in my lap and opened to the section we were working on in class." Can you read it ok?"
He moved a little closer to me." Yup, now I'm good."
" Ok, let me know when you need me to turn the page."
" 'Kay"
We spent the next 15 minutes reading the chapter and for about half of that time all I could concentrate on was the fact that Eddie's arm and his knee were touching mine. What is wrong with me?
" Alright, first question. What English monarch granted a charter to the Virginia company?"
" King James the first."
" Perfect." I handed Eddie a blank notebook and a pencil and he wrote down his answer while I did the same in my notebook." Next question-"
" How many questions are there?"
"10."
"10?"
" Yup, we will finish these questions up then take a break. " The key to working with Eddie was taking breaks." Sound good?" I looked over at him and noticed him staring at me. " Earth to Eddie? What? Do I have cookie crumbs stuck to my face or something?"
He snapped out of it."No, I was just noticing that your lips don't look chapped at all. They look soft."
I felt my cheeks get hot." Thanks. Gotta keep them hydrated if I'm gonna be kissing ass all day." I watched him smirk. " Ok now question two-"
There was a knock on my bedroom door," Veronica?"
" Yeah mom?"
My mother opened the door and popped her head in" Sorry to interrupt hun but you have a phone call."
I looked at her confused." A phone call?"
" Yes. It's Steve Harrington?"
"Steve Harrington?" Both Eddie and I said at the same time.
My mom smiled." I think he is going to ask you out on a date!"
" A date?" I replied, nervously.
" A date?" Eddie repeated
Holy shit.

Top 10 hottest guitarists
I haven’t had many crushes on guitarists hahaha but here are the ones who I find attractive and who I think are the greatest in history
Eddie Van Halen
Jimmy Page
Richie Sambora
Ace Frehley
Joe Perry
Slash
Ritchie Blackmore
Eric Clapton
Brian May
Mark Knopfler
Richard Bennett was also great with Neil Diamond. I personally love his live version of Cracklin Rosie, which is much better than the studio version. Brian May gave Queen the sound they truly have which I admire. When it comes to music Queen invented their own sound. You can listen to any artist from the past, but Queen was one band who you can immediately tell had talent back then. Now when it comes to heavy metal the best guitarest for Iron Maiden was Janick Gers. If you want an example of his work you should listen to Aces High. Talent is what I truly admire from many generations of rock n roll and metal, or any other genres of music

Black Paisley - Human Nature
Release Date: 25 Nov 2022
Photo credit: Mats Vassfjord
Black Paisley comes from Stockholm. The band is one of the upcomers in the NWOCR (New Wave Of Classic Rock) bringing on the heritage from classic acts like Whitesnake, Scorpions and Thunder combined with modern production and praised new songwriting.
The band name Black Paisley, comes from Bon Jovi’s Ritchie Sambora’s classic Fender signature guitar from 1996. With the name, you get an embedded connection to the Melodic Rock with catchy melodies which is the best way to describe Black Paisley’s music
Human Nature is the fourth album by Black Paisley, and there are no filler tracks here. This album is a masterpiece in terms of the music and production.
With the aim to re-invent the magic from their idols and the albums/songs that inspired their youth, the band managed to sign and meet up with icon Mike Fraser at Armoury Studios in Vancouver (mixing - 5 AC/DC albums, The Cult, Aerosmith, Metallica) and Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound in Nashville handled the mastering (AC/DC, Adele, Ozzy & Greta Van Fleet), to help them out with the songs 'Set Me On Fire' and 'Human Nature'.
Line-up
Stefan Blomqvist – Lead vocal and guitars
Franco Santunione – Lead guitar and vocals
Jan Emanuelsson - Bass
Robert Karazsi - Drums and Percussion

Original poster here: Let me clarify what I meant by “head of the band,” in relation to Jon Bonjovi. It’s not about 1D at all let me clear that up. Jbj is the head of his band and it’s also his namesake after his last name. Harry is head of his current solo career band now the “Harry Styles band”. They’re alike in that both have members that have become popular on their own accord (aka Ritchie Sambora,Tico Torres) and Mitch, Sarah, Ny. Yet at the core they’re still part of one band led by one person. It’s a model I was referring to in context of following path of Jbj career’s design by Azoff. Sorry if that was confusing it’s all made sense in my head. 🥴
No worries! Sometimes things get misconstrued but I get it :) thanks for clarifying
in regards to this
