-Connor
OK, I’m a little disappointed that we won’t get to hang out, just the two of us, but I’d love to see them play. I go upstairs and grab a quick shower (thanks to Ryder for the reminder to get off any stray wax) and dry my hair a little. I’ve got some time to kill before I need to get dressed, so I pull out the book that I’m reading and settle into the bed to read for a while.
By the time I need to get ready, I’ve finished my book and had a quick nap. Good thing I set the alarm on my phone or I could have slept all night.
Hopping out of bed, I change into my favourite ripped skinny jeans, a Sleeping Dogs tee I stole from Connor and turned into a cropped shirt, and some black Chuck Taylors. I put on my standard mascara and lip gloss, grab my phone and wallet, and then I’m out the door.
I drive my car there because I don’t feel like taking a cab again right now. If I need to leave my car there overnight, so be it. A new playlist of music that Connor made for me makes the drive better. I get to listen to some of the music that he’s enjoyed over the last 20 years we’ve been apart and it makes me feel so close to him. It’s like an old school mix tape without all the hassle of actually doing any recording.
When I get to Rough Mix, I park in the side lot and walk around to the front. There’s a bouncer at the door tonight, which I find a little strange. I don’t remember that from the last time we were here. Maybe the incident when Connor was drugged has caused Bill to increase security?
“Good evening, Miss Wilson,” the bouncer says as he opens the door for me. “Have a great night.”
Ok, now that’s weird. Connor and I have been careful to keep me out of the public eye. Nobody knows who I am just yet. We fully expect our privacy to be violated once the next tour starts, since I am going on the road with the band. We just can’t stand to be apart yet, so it looks like I’m joining them on the road. But so far we have kept our relationship quiet. So this bouncer shouldn’t know who I am.
Walking in the bar I’m met with… silence? And candles? What in the hell is going on?
Suddenly a trail of candles lights up, leading from me to the stage at the far end of the room. I’m clearly meant to follow, so I start walking. Shortly I’m met with a set of stairs leading me onto the stage and to a stool. Before I can look around, more candles light up the stage and I see Connor sitting on a stool close to me, and the rest of the guys are a little further back, set up with their instruments.
“Hi baby,” Connor says to me. “I sort of lied to get you here. The guys and I aren’t really playing a show tonight. We only have one song to play and it’s a new one. It’s calledMeant to BeI hope you like it.”
The rest of the guys start playing while Connor grabs his mic and comes closer to me. He takes my hand and starts the song, looking into my eyes while he sings.
Circling around you
Not knowing what was missing
I wasn’t whole
Until you starting kissing me
Circling around you
So close but not enough
Emptiness inside me
Waiting for your love
You make me whole
You fill me up
I’ll keep you with me
Because we’re meant to be
Lives Intertwined
Spinning around you
I’ll keep you with me
Because we’re meant to be
Circling around you
Because to me you are the sun
