Sasha was the first one to wake up, the next day. She was still lying in Chester’s arms and her neck was a bit sore.
She did not move, though. She just lay there and looked at him sleep for a while. She could not believe that he was actually in her bed. He grunted a little in his sleep and Sasha could not help but chuckle a little. He was so cute, looking like a little boy as he was sleeping.
When her neck really started hurting, from lying with her head on his shoulder, his arm wrapped around her, she tried to move his arm as carefully as possible, so she wouldn’t wake him.
She felt him hold on to her even tighter and he whispered, still with his eyes closed.
‘Where do you think you’re going?’
She kissed his cheek and said. ‘I have to move because my neck is killing me. I must’ve been lying in your arms all night. Plus, I’m hungry so I’m gonna go make some breakfast.’
Now, he opened his eyes, looked at her and kissed her forehead. ‘Well, I had other plans but I’m kinda hungry too, so what do you say that we get up, make breakfast and bring it in here?’
‘Deal.’ She said, and got out of the bed, put on his t-shirt and his boxers and went to the kitchen.
‘Hey!’ He yelled at her, as she left. ‘You stole my clothes! Now, I’m trapped here all naked and vulnerable!’
She laughed and yelled back. ‘Stop being such a girl and come help me!’
Chester stayed in bed for a few minutes, before he got up. He looked around Sasha’s bedroom and couldn’t really believe that he was finally here. It had been long six months, since she had left the tour and he hadn’t been able to stop thinking about her and now he was here in her bed. So far, it had been worth the agony he’d felt those six months and the pain of telling his ex-wife that he would leave her.
He shook the bad feelings and got up to go help her in the kitchen.
Sasha was making scrambled eggs, as he walked into the kitchen. He was naked and she gasped as she looked at him.
He chuckled. ‘What are you gasping about? You stole my clothes and then told me to stop being a girl…so I am. I’m at your service, M’am. Now put me to work.’
She laughed. ‘Well, I’m just still a little overwhelmed with the fact that you’re actually here…and now you’re walking around in my house, all naked and you just look…..extremely hot. But yeah…could you make the toast, please?’
He actually blushed. ‘I’m having horrible morning breath and look like I’ve either not been sleeping at all, or as if I’ve been sleeping excessively…and you think I look hot? Okay, then. You’re crazy.’ He said, and started making the toast.
Sasha left the eggs, walked over behind him, and put her arms around his waist. ‘Well, I’m in love so you’ll always look extremely hot, to me.’ She said and kissed his back.
He squirmed out of her grip and said. ‘Okay, if we’re gonna finish this breakfast, you have to get away from me. I can’t concentrate when all the blood is leaving my head.’
She let him go and went back to the eggs. ‘Blah, you’re no fun, man. But fine, I’ll just make the d**n eggs, then.’ She said, pretending to be hurt.
‘Well, you were the one who said you were hungry. So you turned me down before and now it’s my turn. Payback’s a pregnant dog, isn’t it?’ He said, pretending to be mean.
‘Oh you just wait. I’ll get you back for this, I promise you.’ She said, smiling. She loved how their humor was so similar.
They finished the breakfast and brought it back to the bedroom on a tray. They finished eating and lay back down in bed, wrapping themselves around each other.
‘Mr. Bennington?’ She said as she was running a finger up and down his chest and stomach.
‘Miss Anderson?’ He replied and squirmed under her finger. He could feel that if she didn’t stop teasing him soon, he would burst.
‘I love you, Mr. Bennington’
‘I love you, too Miss Anderson…but if you don’t stop teasing me soon, I just might burst.’ He said as he kissed her neck.
‘Well, we can have that, now can we?’ She said and moved her fingers downwards to his thighs.
‘Miss Anderson. Shut up.’ He said, found her lips and kissed her intensely, while stroking her back and her butt.
She grabbed his butt cheeks and pulled him closer to her, feeling his erection against her stomach. The shirt and boxers came off in no time as they were exploring each other’s bodies once more.
He was on top of her and penetrated her so slowly that she thought she was going to die. At first, he moved slowly inside of her, but she was so hungry for him that she grabbed his butt and made him thrust harder and faster inside her. When the climax was near, they screamed each other’s names and came simultaneously.
Chester rolled off her and went ‘Wow. That’s all I can say. Wow.’
‘I agree.’ She said, as Chester’s cell phone rang.
‘Gah, who’s that interrupting us now?’ She said, slightly annoyed.
Chester looked at his phone. ‘It’s Mike. I wonder what he wants. We have the day off, for crying out loud.’
‘Hey dude, you’re kind of interrupting something here.’ Chester said, when he answered.
‘Oh, I’m sorry man…are you done?’ Mike replied, laughing a little.
‘Yeah, just. What’s up?’
‘Nothing much. I just wanted to hear how it went yesterday, but I guess that it went alright if I interrupted something?’ Mike was always the nosy one, but he was so nice about it, Chester couldn’t get mad at him.
‘Yeah, everything went just fine, after she threw a fit at me, for not getting to the point soon enough.’ Chester laughed as he looked at Sasha.
Sasha grabbed the phone from Chester and said ‘Mike, you guys are so f**king mean, it’s not even funny! He was f**king rambling forever and ever about how he’d hurt someone and blah and I finally told him that if he wouldn’t get to the point soon, I’d kick his scrawny ass back to America.’
Mike laughed so hard, when he said ‘Haha, then it worked! Chester said when he hung up on you, that you’d have a fit at him for doing that. But he couldn’t wait to ring your doorbell and see the look on your face when he was outside the door.’
Sasha grunted ‘Well, I was surprised to see him. But I was also extremely angry with him for hanging up on me, so I had to control my urge to jump him and f**k him right then and there. But seriously,…it was kind of a mean prank to pull on me. And you were in on it, you little minion! You told me he was falling apart and being all depressed and I was worried sick about him…and it was all a prank. That was kind of mean, when you knew how much I love him.’ She had been a little hurt over the prank, but Mike knew that it wasn’t as serious as she made it sound.
‘Yeah, it was a little mean, but we knew you could take it, once you figured out the truth. Anyway, I’m actually calling to hear what you guys were up to later tonight. The band and I are in this f**king hotel in Copenhagen and we’re bored out of our minds, so we thought we’d go out for dinner and maybe catch a gig or a movie or something.’ Mike said.
‘Well, I don’t know if we have any plans tonight…’ Sasha said as she looked at Chester. He shook his head.
‘Nope, Mr. Bennington says we don’t have anything planned for tonight. What time should we be there?’ She asked
‘Around 7, I think would be nice.’ Mike said. ‘We’ll ditch the security and go out on our own and just hope that no one recognizes us.’
‘Okay, we’ll be there at 7, then’ Sasha confirmed. ‘Here’s Chester back.’ She handed the phone to Chester and went to take a shower, while he finished talking to Mike.
She was a little worried about going out with the entire band, because she wasn’t sure that she was ready for her and Chester’s relationship to be public yet, and she knew that someone would recognize them and ask Chester who she was.
She also knew that the band didn’t get into the tabloids a lot, but she just wanted their relationship to stay private for a little while longer.
When she got out of the shower, Chester was still talking to Mike.
‘Geez, you two are worse than most women I know.’ She said, as she walked over to her closet to find some clothes. She smiled at Chester, as he stuck his tongue out at her.
He finished the talk with Mike and went to take a shower.
Sasha was still thinking about them going out without security and went to talk to Chester about it.
‘Chester? Do you think it’s a good idea for us and the guys to go out without security, tonight?’ She couldn’t quite hide the worry in her voice.
‘Why wouldn’t it be? We do it all the time and there’s never been any problems. What are you worried about, hotness?’ He said, as he poked his head out from behind the shower curtain.
‘Well, it’s just…our relationship is still so new and you haven’t really told the public about you and Melinda splitting up or anything. And I mean…are we ready to go public, if we run into fans, press, or something?’ She was divided between wanting to let the world know about them and wanting their relationship develop without the whole world watching.
‘Well, if we run into fans or press I could just introduce you as a friend, but that would mean that I would have to keep a certain distance to you all night, and I’m not sure I’m willing to do that. I mean, I have no problems with people knowing about us already, but if you’re not ready for it, we can wait.’ He said, basically leaving it up to her to make the decision. She actually didn’t like that, even though she knew he was only being considerate. He was the one who was used to the fans and press and she had sort of counted on him to lead the way.
‘Uh, I’m not sure. It’s not that I doubt our relationship or anything, I hope you know that. It’s just…well, I’m not used to the whole public thing with fans and press and whatnot.’
‘Hmm, how about we go to the hotel early, like when I’m dressed…and we talk to the guys about it and get their take on it? Not because they should make the decision, but just to get their opinion.’ He suggested.
Sasha liked that idea, because all the guys were used to stuff like that and she respected their opinions about things.
‘Yeah, let’s do that. I’ll call Mike and tell him’ She said, getting out of the bathroom so Chester could finish his shower in peace.
They arrived at the hotel an hour later and got up to Mike’s room, where the whole band was gathered. They ordered soda and chips from the room service and sat down to talk.
‘Okay,’ Chester started. ‘Sasha and I have something we want to ask you guys. We’ve been talking about this whole going out without security tonight, and Sasha is a little worried about meeting fans and press and if we should go public with our relationship or not. She’s not sure if it’s too soon or not and we both just want your opinions.’
‘You’re asking if WE think you should go public, should we run into fans or press?’ Dave said, giving Chester an odd look.
‘Yes, that’s basically it.’ Chester confirmed.
‘Well, I think you definitely should!’ Brad said excitedly. ‘I mean, I know you haven’t actually been together for that long and all…but seriously, you love each other and isn’t that really all that matters?’
‘I don’t want to answer this question, Chester. I’m sorry, Sasha, but I really don’t think it’s any of my business. It’s your relationship and no one can make the decision for you.’ Dave said, still with the odd look on his face.
‘Phi, stop looking at me like that. We’re not asking you to make the f**king decision for us, but simply to give us your opinions on it. I mean..what would you do, if it was you?’ Chester was a little annoyed that Dave couldn’t just give his thoughts about it.
Dave just looked away and Chester knew that he was not going to get an answer from him.
‘Well, I think you should just go out, see what happens and then make the decision on that. See if we run into fans or press and make the decision if it comes up, otherwise leave it alone. Chester, you’re not one to shout your private life out into the world and you never have been. Neither of us have, so why change that now?’ Rob was always the voice of reason in the band, and he was pretty much neutral in most things.
‘Joe, what do you think?’ Sasha asked, because Joe was looking like he didn’t even pay attention to them.
‘I think that you should keep in to yourself, until your more sure. I mean, if you have to ask us, it doesn’t seem to me, like you’re even ready to go public. I mean, if you guys were ready, you wouldn’t even have thought about this, at all. You would’ve done what Rob said and dealt with it, when the time came and not worried about it.’ It was amazing how Joe could always look as though he was not paying attention at all, yet he always seemed to know all the details.
‘Mike?’ Sasha asked, looking at Mike who was sitting in his chair, nodding like an old grandfather listening to his grandkids having a debate.
‘I think both Joe and Rob are right. I think you’re over-thinking this in the worst degree. Maybe it would be better just to go with the flow and see what happens. I mean…we may not run into anyone who knows us, anyway. Sasha, I know you’re worried because Chester’s divorce was just settled the other day and about it being too soon and all that. But you have to remember that if Chester’s marriage had been perfect, you’d never have been in the situation you found yourself in and you would never have been here, having this conversation. And the only reason, you weren’t together for those six months, was the fact that Chester had some unfinished business to take care of, so if you think about it, you guys have actually been together for more than six months…except you weren’t -together-……if that makes sense.’ Mike was just rambling for the hell of it, now and Sasha laughed.
‘Okay, Mike…I get your point. Stop rambling, man!’
She looked at Chester and said ‘Well, I guess that’s it then. We’ll go out and if we run into fans or press and they ask you about me, you decide what you say. If we don’t run into fans or press, we won’t worry about it.’
‘Okay, then. But you should know that I’ll introduce you as my girlfriend and I’m going to be glued to you all night.’ Chester said, wanting to prepare her a little, just in case.
‘Good. I like you being glued to me.’ Sasha said , got up, sat on Chester’s lap and French kissed him.
‘GET A ROOM!’ The rest of the guys yelled at them and they all laughed.
The security guys weren’t happy, when Mike told them that they were going out without them. All six guys had to convince them that it was a good idea, and by the end of the discussion, the band just turned around and walked away from security.
They spent the next few hours, just hanging out and having fun, until it was time to go out and have dinner.
They found a nice restaurant, not far from the hotel and went in to get a table. The waiter who served them, did look like he recognized them and he whispered to the other staff of the restaurant, but they didn’t say anything to the band.
They spent a few hours at the restaurant and then went out to find a movie theater, to catch a movie.
Sasha suggested that they went to Palads, the biggest movie theater she knew. The guys all agreed, mainly because they didn’t know any of the movie theatres in Copenhagen. Fortunately, Palads wasn’t far from the restaurant and they began the walk over there.
Suddenly, they heard a voice behind them. ‘Oh my god, Chester?! And Mike?! Oh my god!’
Sasha froze on the spot, knowing that a fan had recognized the guys. Mike and Chester turned and saw a girl standing in front of them, with her hands covering her mouth. As they turned, she went completely nuts and started screaming.
‘Oh my god, it really IS you!!!! Oh my god, it’s Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park!!!! Oh god, I think I’m gonna pass out!!!’ She actually looked like she was going to pass out any minute.
Sasha slowly continued walking towards Palads, as she didn’t want to deal with the fan-girl.
‘Calm down.’ Mike said to the girl. ‘You really have to breathe. Now, I’m Mike and this is Chester, Rob, Dave, Joe and Brad. What’s your name?’
Chester and the rest of the guys shook hands with the girl as she stuttered ‘I….I…my..uh…my name’s Marie.’
They talked to her for a few minutes, gave her their autographs and were then able to catch up with Sasha.
Chester grabbed her from behind and kissed her neck. ‘Are you okay, hotness?’ He asked, a little worried.
‘Yeah, I just didn’t want to get in the middle of all that. Not that I think she noticed me, but still.’ Sasha said. It was obvious that she was very uncomfortable with the whole fan-thing. She didn’t really like the fact that random girls would go crazy like that, over her man, but she also knew that it was part of his job.
‘It’s okay, babe. I know it’s different for you now that we’re actually a couple, as opposed to when you were working for us. Now, let’s go see a movie.’ He kissed her cheek and wrapped his arm around her shoulders.
They watched ‘Fracture’ and when the movie was over, they went back to the hotel to hang out for a while.
Chester was anxious to get home, though because he knew that they only had one more day off, before they would start the mini-tour in Europe and he desperately wanted to be alone with Sasha before he had to leave her again.
After about an hour at the hotel with the guys, Sasha couldn’t take it anymore. She loved the other guys, but she really wanted Chester alone until he had to leave the next night.
‘Guys, I think it’s time for Chester and I to call it a night. What do you say, bunny?’ She looked at him.
Rob started laughing ‘Bunny! Chester The Bunny! Ahh that is priceless! Mike, you should put that in your blog, man!’ Rob paused and got a spooked look on his face ‘Oh man. Chester The Bunny. Okay, I do NOT want to know, why you call him that!’ They all laughed as they got the mental images in their head.
Chester shrugged. ‘I’m the king of awesome, remember? But yeah, I think it’s time for us to go home and enjoy the last day off, together. But I’ll see you guys tomorrow night at the airport.’
They said their goodbyes and Chester and Sasha went back to Sasha’s house.
They spent the last 24 hours before the tour basically worshipping each other. They only got out of bed to shower, eat and go to the bathroom.
Sasha felt like she was losing him again and when Chester got up to get ready to meet the rest of the band, she started crying.
She did not move, though. She just lay there and looked at him sleep for a while. She could not believe that he was actually in her bed. He grunted a little in his sleep and Sasha could not help but chuckle a little. He was so cute, looking like a little boy as he was sleeping.
When her neck really started hurting, from lying with her head on his shoulder, his arm wrapped around her, she tried to move his arm as carefully as possible, so she wouldn’t wake him.
She felt him hold on to her even tighter and he whispered, still with his eyes closed.
‘Where do you think you’re going?’
She kissed his cheek and said. ‘I have to move because my neck is killing me. I must’ve been lying in your arms all night. Plus, I’m hungry so I’m gonna go make some breakfast.’
Now, he opened his eyes, looked at her and kissed her forehead. ‘Well, I had other plans but I’m kinda hungry too, so what do you say that we get up, make breakfast and bring it in here?’
‘Deal.’ She said, and got out of the bed, put on his t-shirt and his boxers and went to the kitchen.
‘Hey!’ He yelled at her, as she left. ‘You stole my clothes! Now, I’m trapped here all naked and vulnerable!’
She laughed and yelled back. ‘Stop being such a girl and come help me!’
Chester stayed in bed for a few minutes, before he got up. He looked around Sasha’s bedroom and couldn’t really believe that he was finally here. It had been long six months, since she had left the tour and he hadn’t been able to stop thinking about her and now he was here in her bed.

They finished the breakfast and brought it back to the bedroom on a tray. They finished eating and lay back down in bed, wrapping themselves around each other.
‘Mr. Bennington?’ She said as she was running a finger up and down his chest and stomach.

‘I love you, Mr. Bennington’

‘Okay, Mike…I get your point. Stop rambling, man!’
She looked at Chester and said ‘Well, I guess that’s it then. We’ll go out and if we run into fans or press and they ask you about me, you decide what you say. If we don’t run into fans or press, we won’t worry about it.’
‘Okay, then. But you should know that I’ll introduce you as my girlfriend and I’m going to be glued to you all night.’ Chester said, wanting to prepare her a little, just in case.
‘Good. I like you being glued to me.’ Sasha said , got up, sat on Chester’s lap and French kissed him.
‘GET A ROOM!’ The rest of the guys yelled at them and they all laughed.
The security guys weren’t happy, when Mike told them that they were going out without them. All six guys had to convince them that it was a good idea, and by the end of the discussion, the band just turned around and walked away from security.
They spent the next few hours, just hanging out and having fun, until it was time to go out and have dinner.
They found a nice restaurant, not far from the hotel and went in to get a table. The waiter who served them, did look like he recognized them and he whispered to the other staff of the restaurant, but they didn’t say anything to the band.
They spent a few hours at the restaurant and then went out to find a movie theater, to catch a movie.
Sasha suggested that they went to Palads, the biggest movie theater she knew. The guys all agreed, mainly because they didn’t know any of the movie theatres in Copenhagen. Fortunately, Palads wasn’t far from the restaurant and they began the walk over there.
Suddenly, they heard a voice behind them. ‘Oh my god, Chester?! And Mike?! Oh my god!’
Sasha froze on the spot, knowing that a fan had recognized the guys. Mike and Chester turned and saw a girl standing in front of them, with her hands covering her mouth. As they turned, she went completely nuts and started screaming.
‘Oh my god, it really IS you!!!! Oh my god, it’s Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park!!!! Oh god, I think I’m gonna pass out!!!’ She actually looked like she was going to pass out any minute.
Sasha slowly continued walking towards Palads, as she didn’t want to deal with the fan-girl.
‘Calm down.’ Mike said to the girl. ‘You really have to breathe. Now, I’m Mike and this is Chester, Rob, Dave, Joe and Brad. What’s your name?’
Chester and the rest of the guys shook hands with the girl as she stuttered ‘I….I…my..uh…my name’s Marie.’
They talked to her for a few minutes, gave her their autographs and were then able to catch up with Sasha.
Chester grabbed her from behind and kissed her neck. ‘Are you okay, hotness?’ He asked, a little worried.
‘Yeah, I just didn’t want to get in the middle of all that. Not that I think she noticed me, but still.’ Sasha said. It was obvious that she was very uncomfortable with the whole fan-thing. She didn’t really like the fact that random girls would go crazy like that, over her man, but she also knew that it was part of his job.
‘It’s okay, babe. I know it’s different for you now that we’re actually a couple, as opposed to when you were working for us. Now, let’s go see a movie.’ He kissed her cheek and wrapped his arm around her shoulders.
They watched ‘Fracture’ and when the movie was over, they went back to the hotel to hang out for a while.
Chester was anxious to get home, though because he knew that they only had one more day off, before they would start the mini-tour in Europe and he desperately wanted to be alone with Sasha before he had to leave her again.
After about an hour at the hotel with the guys, Sasha couldn’t take it anymore. She loved the other guys, but she really wanted Chester alone until he had to leave the next night.
‘Guys, I think it’s time for Chester and I to call it a night. What do you say, bunny?’ She looked at him.
Rob started laughing ‘Bunny! Chester The Bunny! Ahh that is priceless! Mike, you should put that in your blog, man!’ Rob paused and got a spooked look on his face ‘Oh man. Chester The Bunny. Okay, I do NOT want to know, why you call him that!’ They all laughed as they got the mental images in their head.
Chester shrugged. ‘I’m the king of awesome, remember? But yeah, I think it’s time for us to go home and enjoy the last day off, together. But I’ll see you guys tomorrow night at the airport.’
They said their goodbyes and Chester and Sasha went back to Sasha’s house.
They spent the last 24 hours before the tour basically worshipping each other. They only got out of bed to shower, eat and go to the bathroom.
Sasha felt like she was losing him again and when Chester got up to get ready to meet the rest of the band, she started crying.
