Shining Heroes

Chapter 102

"You know fans probably are gonna think that fight was staged right?" I over heard one of the stage hands whispering to another ousidtof the dressing room.

I was finishing wiping the makeup of my face when I turned to see Mood grinning at me.

"What?"

"You did a good job tonight."

I felt my face start heating up.

"It's too bad we had to end the show early. I would have wanted an encore." She glanced at the door before quickly kissing me. "Too bad you had to get interupted."

I smiled and rolled my eyes.

"Plus side, we can leave sooner. Since neither of us are the arresting her so we don't have any paperwork." She looked around quickly. "Although we should probably get going before the roads get too crowded."

She began to guide me to the back exit and as soon as the door opened we were flooded with flashing lights. I had to partly cover my eyes because the flashing was disorienting, but when I glanced at mood she didn't seem to be fazed at all.

She causally guided me into a car. Which I assume was her new car since she immediately sat down in the driver's seat while I was buckling up.

"Do this happen after every show?"

"Yeah pretty much. Although this is more than usual." She smiled. "You put on a good show."

"You should probably rest your voice. It still sounds a bit rough."

"I just need to drink some tea with honey and rest. My voice will be fine." She started driving without another word past the paparazzi and the screaming fans that had gathered.

It took about 40 minutes to get to my apartment and that time included us having to drive around a bit to ensure we lost the paparazzi and fans.

"Are you on call tonight?" Mood asked after turning the engine off.

I quickly checked my phone before answering, "Only if it is a code black emergency."

"Do you mind if I come up?" She asked like she wanted to ask something else instead, but back out of it.

I couldn't contain the smile forming at my lips. "You don't have to ask. That's why you have a key." I causally took my mask off.

She silently got out of the car and I followed after her.

"You know it is almost midnight, so you could spend the night if you would like."

"I was actually thinking that."

We began to climb the stairs to my apartment and on every floor I made sure no one was in the hall before she made it to the floor.

As soon as my door opened we were met with a chirping and purring Mozart.

I took off my leather jacket before picking him up. "Hello buddy."

After his greetings to us he decided he wanted to go look out the window she he jumped out of my arms and sat on my bed.

"So you said you wanted to spend the night, so why don't you stay the night and we can watch a movie?" I suggested as I changed my hoodie.

"You should pick a movie so you arent bored."

"Pick a movie." I said as I handed her the remote.

"Fine." She playfully groaned while finally taking it from me.

As she looked though her movie options I made her some tea and pulled out some milk and honey for her to add. As I placed the tea, milk and honey on my coffee table and saw she ended up putting on some documentary to watch.

"You can go ahead and start it I'm gonna make a drink for myself."

"You don't plan on drinking too much do you?" She asked sounding slightly concerned.

"No, just one drink." I smiled at her concern.

After I made a simple cocktail I went and sat next to her.

When I started watching the movie with her I knew what the documentary was about, but it just couldn't hold my interest and I ended up forgetting and I wasn't entirely sure if it was the same one that was on. Instead I found myself just saring at her and took in every detail of her face.

"Is the movie boring you?" She asked without looking at me.

"No, why do you ask?" I quickly lied.

"You're not watching it." She said finally looking at me.

I could tell there was no convincing her, but I decided to continiplayong with ut.

"I don't know what you are talking about. I absolutely love the documentary about..." I looked over at the screen. "Someone dying?"

She raised and eyebrow at me and just smiled.

"Ok, yes I don't know what's going on. That's only because I prefer to look at your face." I smiled beifre goancing at the screen. "Is is about someone dying?"

She laughed and shook her head. "No, well not until the end." She grabbed the remote and paused the movie. "This about The Blue boys and how they started their band, eventually became known and what caused their untimely demise."

I went to take another drink of my cocktail.

"I can turn it off."

"No." I quickly stated. "You're enjoying it. I like seeing you enjoy yourself."

She smiled before gently but deeply kissing me. The taste of my fruity cocktail was fighting the taste of her tea and honey.

When she pulled away she was gently staring into my eyes like she was studying my reaction or looking for something. Something about the way she was acting gave me the feeling she was holding back.

"Did you wanna stop?" I asked softly.

I tried my best to keep calm while by heart was attempting to beat out of my chest.

She smiled and leaned in again like she was gonna kiss me again.

"I don't want to stop." She spoke softly as her face turning bright red.
