SYDNEY

Okay, last interview and last show of this long 2 weeks promotional tour. I can't wait to fucking board a plane back to Los Angeles. These interviews have been redundant; asking me the same damn questions over and over again.

"What was your inspiration for this album?" They asked.
"Do you write your own lyrics?"
"What makes you happy?" Asking me some bullshit fillers to prolong the interview as well.
Then there are some who asked me private questions, "How many women have you been with?"
"Who is the woman next to you?" Even questions about Lana.
"How did you meet?"
"What is her name?"
"How long have you been together?"

I responded as vague as possible. This is the life of a rockstar, but I try to keep my private life private. My privacy is important to me and questions about Lana was the cherry to this publicity. Everyone was curious about her, but I wouldn't give them details—or at least the dirty details about us. Obviously, media will find the information they want, so I gave them what they wanted to hear without going into it too much.

"Thank you for joining us today?" The host smiled lightly touching my arm as she gave me a devious grin. People knew my past. They think I was still living that past life, but little do they know the love of my life is back home. These girls will definitely cause some problems and I already know Lana is quietly fuming at the host.

I felt a little awkward tension to that touch. I smiled nervously. I can't afford media turning this into something it's not. I slowly moved my arm away as discreetly as possible, "Thank you for having me, Ms. Shay." I look out to the audience and gave them a large grin, standing up, and blowing them thank you kisses. "Who's ready for some music off the album?"

The crowd cheered as I ran towards the mini stage and picked up my guitar and set the Microphone where I need it to be. My drummer called the count and we began jamming. Music filled the studio and the audience were dancing at their seats. I loved to see this. I love to see the crowd enjoying themselves. It reminds me how grateful I am to be standing here doing what I love. It was thanks to them I was able to do this, so I rocked harder. Took my microphone and walked the aisles—hugging fans, vibing with them—getting kissed on the cheek by some. As hard as this life is, I wouldn't give it up. Well at least not now; not yet.

——————
We hopped onto an afternoon flight the following day back to Los Angeles from Florida. It's about a five and a half hour flight. I was anxious. 2 weeks away from Lana was hard. It gets harder the longer we are together. I couldn't wait to see her. She has no clue that I was arriving tonight. I wanted to surprise her. She thinks I had one more showcase the following day and would arrive 2 days later. I was ecstatic to see her; to hold her again, to sleep next to her. Although we talk constantly on the phone, it wasn't the same. I wanted to kiss her, touch her, watch her sleep next to me.

We finally landed, grabbed our belongings, was escorted out of the airport and into my limo.

"Please take me to the nearest flower shop," I hurriedly told my driver.

"Not a problem Ms. Reece."

I sat in the limo with Becca. She's typing away on her phone with a grin on her face. A very big grin, I may add. She quietly chuckled at her seat. I watched her as she was giddy like she was in love.

"Becca, who's got you smiling like that?"

"No one?" She quickly set her phone down. It began to buzz repeatedly on her lap. She tried to ignore it. She took a glance and her face flushed red.

"Really?! Seems like someone is getting you flustered."
I scooted Next to her to bug the shit out of her. Being my annoying self, I tried to reach for her phone. "Let me see."

"No! Sydney," she tried to extend her arm with on the other side away from me.

"Oh come on? How long have we've known each other. 2 years maybe 3?" I gave her a pouty face.

"Don't give me that look. It won't work on me!" She hollered.

"Plleeeeeassseee?!"

"No!!!" She bellowed.

"Fine, I guess we are doing this the hard way. I crawled over her trying to grab her phone. I may be childish, but I was really curious. She knew basically my whole love life, it's only fair that I knew hers. Or at least I assume it's a potential love interest since she kept smiling.

"Ms. Reece, we are here." My driver rolled down the center window.

"Thank you!" I replied then looked at Becca. "You are lucky I got a Lady waiting for me at home who deserves these bouquet flowers I'm about to get her." I rolled my eyes at her and exited the Limo.

"Yeah, we'll....You may not be the only one getting some tonight."

I spun around even more amused. "Don't tempt me Becca. I will follow you and discover your secret, girl." I chuckled at her then smirked. "It will come out."

My video call rang as I shut the limo door walking into the flower shop and it was Bea. "Hey, girl! When are you going to be in town? I'll be in Los Angeles in a few days." She said happily. "I can't wait to see you and Lana. I missed you both."

"I'm already in town. Just arrived."

"Sweet! Let's do Dinner at La Flora? I have a lot of catching up with you!"

"Sounds good, babe! Looking forward to it."

I turned around to see Becca beaming at me, but I shrugged it off and walked into the flower shop grabbing a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolate. I know cliché, but Lana loves romance and she deserves all of it.

I walked back to the limo and slid back in. "Okay, can you take me to a sex shop." I told my driver with no hesitation.

Becca looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

"What?" I said then ignored her. "Don't tell me you don't like to do kinky stuff in the bedroom." I laughed. "Maybe some whips, cuffs, ropes? Maybe a vibrator you can control? Or.... A sex swing? Or...."

"Okay, I get it, Sydney, you insatiable freak." She rolled her eyes at me.

"I plan on not leaving the bedroom this weekend," I chortled.

"Of course you're not. I'm sure Lana would enjoy that very much."

"You have no idea how horny she has been lately. It's really turning me on and I'm kinda excited to see her tonight," I guffawed.

"How's the court case against Greg?"

"Oh, God!! Such a mood killer," I huffed. "You are trying to change the subject. I know you. And besides, you already know about it. You have access to it. You are my manager after all."

"Well, as much as I love you and Lana. Your bedroom antics should be kept between you two."

"Awww, does it make you uncomfortable?" I teased her.

She gave me a look of annoyance. "Fucking get out of the limo and enjoy your sex shop." She says as we pulled up to a Hustler.

"As a matter of fact, I will enjoy my time inside." I hopped out of the Limo and nonchalant walked into the store.

"God, this girl. I don't know what to do with her." Becca said between her breathe as she continued to text whoever she was texting.
