(Part 1)
I don't know why I listened to him and decided to wear what he told. Tomo may be right, but the only thing I know for now is that my feet are killing me and I'm kind of sweating. But I can't do anything about it because Vicki was the one to push me to wear make up. And if I rubbed my hand over my face, it would all be smudged all over my face. I really feel like a slut or what right now, but in the other hand I feel more like a woman. Not that my outfit is ideal for a concert, but I'm side stage so who can see me?
I walk through the hallway backstage, my bag in hand, and start searching for Emma. She told me that I can find her at the side of the stage, but didn't tell me which side. As I keep walking, I stumble suddenly on Tim and I'm ready to fall back, thanks to my shoes, but he holds me and steadies me again. He then looks me up and down and whistles.
"Wow, so sexy."
"Shut up..." I say and punch him playfully on the arm.
He leans to kiss me but I stop him, holding my hand in front of his mouth. I open my mouth to speak but I see Jared behind his back at the door of the dressing room and I feel like I can't form any words. He turns to our side and I lock eyes with him. I can see that he half smiles to me but I remain cold like a statue and just look at him. After a minute he turns to the other side and leaves, my eyes now traveling to the man in front of me. I move my eyes to Tim's face and he looks at me in worry, my hand still on his mouth. I open my mouth to speak again, but this time my voice comes out normally.
"I don't want you to have pink lips during the show. Can we leave this for later?" and I crook a little smile at his direction.
He smiles back to me and nods.
"At least, can I give you a kiss somewhere else?"
"Depends." I say and raise a brow.
He leans again and his lips land on my cheek. His kiss is soft and after a minute he pulls back.
"Well, that was long."
We both giggle at my comment and I pat him on the arm.
"Will I see you later?"
"Is there any chance for me to go somewhere else anyway?"
"Right... At least the show will be finished before midnight."
I smile to him again and give him a little hug.
"I have to go, I'm in search for Emma. I just hope I'll find her soon because my fucking feet are killing me."
"Hah! Good luck then."
I turn away from him and leave for the side of the stage. There I find Emma sitting in one of the chairs and typing something on her laptop. I take a chair close to me and put it next to hers, sitting down. She turns to me and smiles, closing her laptop. After putting it on her back, she gazes at me and her smiles widens.
"You really are gorgeous tonight girl!"
"Thank Tomo for that, I didn't plan on dressing up like this."
We both laugh and then a smiling Tomo approach us.
"Just in time." Emma says and giggles.
Tomo reaches his hand out for me and I take it, standing up. He twirls me around two times and then smiles, turning to Emma.
"See what I made? Next time is gonna be you."
"Oh thanks but no, I'm never gonna look like her."
I turn to look at her and raise a brow.
"Is that supposed to be a compliment or no?"
She laughs and after her Tomo follows.
"Of course it's a compliment, dear."
I feel my cheeks burn as I blush and turn to look somewhere else than Emma and Tomo. Tomo laughs softly next to me and I have to look at him.
"What's so funny?"
"You! You always turn away when you blush."
"How do you know? It's not that bright in here."
"I didn't, you just told me."
Both Emma and Tomo start laughing and I pout, slapping his arm.
"Bastard. Now go get ready, the show starts in fifteen minutes."
He waves to both of us and leaves. I sit down again only to have my hand poked by somebody. I turn to my left and see Shannon looking at me like all the others did tonight.
"Am I that weird in this shit? I'm going to change."
I'm ready to stand up and leave but Shannon pushes me back down on the chair and kneels next to me.
"You look gorgeous baby girl." he says and leans to kiss my cheek.
My lips form a little smile and I thank him. I cross my legs and my arms at the same time and look at him again.
"You know that the GT owners are by your side this time, don't you?"
"Yes. And I feel nervous."
"Nervous about what? Because you're gonna have a fan club by your side, screaming for you?"
"Nah... I just wonder if they'll crush on me. Once some girls run to Tomo mid-show."
"Yeah, I remember. Don't worry, that's why security exists."
"Speaking of running, are you coming on stage for K&Q?"
I rub my hand over my hair and frown.
"In this?" and I point up and down my body "No way."
"And why not?"
"Shan, can you just stop pushing me? I don't want to, I'm shy and you know it. And I have no place in there, my place is
here."
"But Emma came once on stage."
"It doesn't matter. I will not change my opinion."
"Ok then."
He stands up and turns to leave but I can see that his face has dropped. I call out his name and turns to me. I stand up and hug him briefly, patting his back.
"I didn't mean to say it like this."
"It's ok. I just hoped a little."
I smile to him and pull back from the hug.
"Now go out there and fuck their brains!"
"Sure will!"
Shannon leaves for the stage and I sit back down, now waiting for the show to start.
