She giggles and shakes her shot. "I guarantee there was an innuendo in there somewhere."
"Of course there was. You're smokin' hot and I'm a pervert."
She laughs again and I feel her starting to come out of the dark place and hopefully shell tell me what's up. "Can I trust you not to judge me?"
I smile and wipe the wetness from under her eye with my thumb before kissing her cheek. "Doll, you can trust me with anything, I promise that. More importantly I don't judge, not my style. I have lived more than any one person deserves and judging isn't my thing babe. Never me, feel me?"
She nods and pours another shot, and I wonder if this will be some drunken confession that lands me in trouble as all drunken confessions do.
I mean, I am open for that.
"I feel you."
"So what is it then that's got you knotted up?"
"How long have you known about it?"
"I have known since that night at Carrie's after you left. Chad told me after I ripped my sister's ass. I figured that was mainly why they wanted you."
She nods. "Yeah, apparently you'll avoid sleeping with me knowing it was something I was addicted to."
I grit my teeth and nod. It's true, even if it sucks. Balls to the wall, I won't cross that line.
I'd play though, I would play and try not to take it too far. "They're kind of right. I will probably always try to sleep with you. We've established I want you, but yeah I take it seriously now and try to mellow out because of it. Might need a lot of cold showers, but I can handle it." I am only mildly joking, but she laughed anyway.
"Know why I left the venue tonight?"
"Because you want to fuck me?" I am joking this time and she nudges me,flirtatiouslymind you and I was a complete gentleman. "I'm kidding, tell me why."
I was not expecting this little queen bee to fire off the anger she did and actually took a step back. "So look, yeah I have slept around and been celibate for four years now so I take being looked at or treated like a whore seriously. Some big fucking power trip bald securitydickfucking pushed me,man handledme and told me I only had a choice of fucking you or some roadies and if it wasn't my thing then to leave."
Holy shit! I was just seconds before kinda turned on and now I am violently pissed. My mind was reeling trying to place the big bald dick that had the nerve.
"Where was your badge?" I ask and start texting Tay to get over here now.
"Um, it was on but he didn't care. I told him I would tell you and Tayla and he laughed at me, kept calling me sweet cheeks."
"Sweet cheeks?" I spoke through gritted teeth because our staff knew damn well that mistreating a fan will cost you your job if it wasn't necessary. Bright wasn't a fan and didn't give two shits about TAT before tonight.
"Yeah, but not like I care I had some choice names for him too."
That made me smile. "Do tell sweet cheeks."
She flipped me off and poured us both another shot, which we slammed immediately.
"I called him Meathead, asshat and Brutus the big bald dick."
"Oh the mouth on you…" I mock, but really it had me laughing when I heard the knock on the door. "Come in T."
Like the hurricane Tay is in a sticky situation, she came right on in and launched off. "I already know she was harassed and treated like afangirl. No worries I have it handled already. I called Drake and he terminated his contract with Reliant Edge security about two minutes ago."
"He didn't look or scan her badge, man handled her and called her names, laughed when she called us both by our names." I say and stand at Brights back so she knows in this I have her back.
"I get it Noah, the badge he should have scanned it absolutely. The name calling and the pushing her back is part of the job. Knowing our names is common to fans. Now had she been a crazy tramp we wouldn’t have cared so cut some slack there. Though not fair or warranted, in the world you live it is common."
I knew she was right, but it pissed me off anyway.
"Try to get some sleep tonight. Buses are leaving at four am so make sure you're prepared and not freaking out when the engine revs."
