I’ve been standing here for twenty minutes…that’s not desperate is it? I glanced around and watched as people past me. Where was she? Had she really got caught up in something or was she just blowing me off? I looked down at my cell again and sighed. I may as well go back to bus and wallow in self pity.
I walked back with my head held low.
“PAT” Someone called grabbing my arm
“Chloe” I said turning round
“Sorry, I got caught up putting something’s away” She sighed
“It’s okay” I smiled forgetting how pissed off I felt
“I thought you would have gone by the time I turned up” She smiled
“I was just going back now” I explained, looking her over
“I didn’t bother getting changed, I was late as its was and Aija was probably hogging the shower as always” She laughed smoothing down her shirt
“You look good” I commented as she pulled her hair out of her ponytail
“Thanks”
“Let’s go get that coffee” I smiled as she linked arms with me
“Sounds good to me”
We walked down the street to a diner that she knew.
“This coffee is the worst” I grimaced after taking a sip of it
“I know…it tastes like they’ve just been pouring old coffee back into the pot” Chloe laughed
“So what is it you do on tour?” She asked taking another slow sip of her coffee
“I’m Simple Plan’s Camera/Merch guy” I explained “Merch mostly because my sister – Amelia is doing the camera right now”
“Cool. I think I saw her in the crowd the other day with another girl” She smiled pushing the cup away from her
I looked at her and frowned – saw Amelia in the crowd?
“I’m one of My Chemical Romance’s guitar techs, mostly Frank’s; Ray doesn’t like me touching his guitar”
“Wow, I’ve never seen you before on stage” I smiled
“I’m usually behind an amp or something” She sighed “I’d love to be on stage”
“Can you play any other instruments?” I asked,
“I can play guitar obviously and drums” She grinned “I love guitar though…it’s my favourite instrument”
“Where is it your from?” I asked, she looked very tanned
“I live in New York but my parents stay in Miami. That’s actually how I know Aija she’s from Palm Beach too. We’re rich kids looking for an escape” She smiled but then frowned
“Wow…you’re so different from Palm Beach girls. I’d have never guessed that’s where you’re from”
“Lots of people say that. It’s good though, I wouldn’t want to be know as a Palm Beach girl” She took another sip of the coffee and grimaced
“Let’s get out of here” I smiled dropping a few dollars on the table and grabbing her hand
“Sure”
We’d only been out for half and hour and I didn’t want to go back to the bus just yet. I looked at Chloe and she seemed to be thinking the same thing.
“Do you wanna do something else?” Chloe asked looking up and down the street
“Is there anything to do at this time at night?” I asked curiously
“I’m not sure, let’s walk around and see”
And that’s exactly what we did; we walked down the street talking away about life …when her phone rang.
“Sorry, I’ve got to take this” She apologized and stopped
“Aija, I’m on a date…tell him I’ll be back soon” She whispered looking annoyed
“Well he’ll just have to wait”
“Fine” She slammed the phone shut
“I’m sorry Pat but I’ll need to go back to my bus” She sighed “All the tech’s share a bus and this guy Jeremy…good he’s such a dick….he locks the bus at 12:30 and he wants me back so he can lock up”
“God, want an ass. I’ll walk you back” I smiled, looked down and took her hand
She linked our fingers as we walked back to the parking lot.
“This sucks” She said as we nearer her bus
“We can always go on another date” I smiled, looking at her optimistically
“I’d like that, hopefully the next one will be longer than an hour” She smiled swinging our arms back and forth “Well here we are bus buzz kill” She joked stopping at the door
“I really enjoyed our date, Pat” She smiled pulling at her shirt a little
“Really? Even the bad coffee?” I asked in mock shocked
“Well not the coffee but I enjoyed hanging out with you…its not often you meet a guy like you” She blushed staring at my chest instead of my face
“Like me?” I asked lifting her chin up with my finger
“Yeah you know genuine, honest. Other guys would just say anything to get into your panties”
I loved how Chloe always told you exactly what she meant.
“Thank you” I smiled
“I better go in before Jeremy comes out and drags me in” She frowned “I bid you ado” She smiled, kissing my lips softly before opening the bus door and stepping in
“I’ll give you a call” I said before the door slide shut
I walked back to my bus and got there as the sky’s opened up. I pulled my key out my pocket and pushed the door open. It was dark on the bus for only 12:30…maybe the guys we’re getting an early night?
Suddenly a lamp came on illuminating David’s face
“And where have you been till this hour?”
“Go to bed David” I sighed, sitting down
“Your no fun, Pat” He whined but went to bed anyway
I pulled out my cell phone and text Chloe
Night, sweetheart x
I smiled and slouched off to bed, I was exhausted from all the running around with the band today and from the pent up nervousness from my date. It was last, bedtime for me.
