How I fell in love with Rodger Taylor

Chapter 2: Strange

After the gig last night I came home and I guess i made it to my bed because that's where I am. I god a cab home and left my car at the bar because I was very drunk. *yawn* "My god what time is it!" 10:58 "FUCK IM GONNA BE LATE!" I said running to my bathroom. I splashed my face with cold water and wiping the makeup from the night before. I threw my hair up into a slick ponytail and did concealer and blush with a bit of mascara just to make me look more awake. I put on a dark green sundress that was just above my knees. I put on my platforms and was on my way. I took a cab there because I didn't have my car but not only, my driver could get there faster that I could've.

We pulled up to a home. I quite small home it was yellow and looks like it was 100 years old. I rang the doorbell, I looked down at my watch 11:28. A happy looking Freddie opened it. "Val darling come in!" He said smiling. I smiled back and entered the home. It had a classic rock feel to it. Not the nicest but still cool. "Follow me," Freddie said. He lead my down a short hallway to a basement. There was a drum kit and a piano and some other instruments. I turned my head to see Brian plucking away at the cords on his guitar. And beside him was John doing the same. "Roger isn't here yet, he seemed kind of disappointed yesterday and went home in a grumpy mood. I think that's why he's not here." Freddie said confused. " That's rather strange," I said. Just then a moody Roger came down the stairs. "Sorry I'm late, I slept in." Roger said. He scanned the room and saw me. He shrugged and walked to the drum kit. The band got in there places and I sat down in a chair observing. " Val I made up some more lyrics tell me if you like them." Freddie said

She keeps her Moët et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
"Let them eat cake", she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Khrushchev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline
Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

Freddie sang, his voice booming without any instruments. "Now gentleman, just right some notes and figure out what sounds good." He said "What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Said Roger "Figure it out darling," said Fred. Freddie walked over to me to talk while the others figured stuff out. "Tea?" Fred asked me "Yes please!" I said. Fred walked away to get our teas while I watched the boys. All of them are attractive don't get me wrong but I never really realized how hot Roger was until now. Looking at him I started to fantasize him just as Fred came up to me. "Stop drooling!" He said making me jump. "Goodness Freddie don't jump up on me like that!" I said taking a sip of my tea. "Love you do know Roger fancy's you, he is just grumpy because you don't like him back!" Fred said as I rolled my eyes saying " Fred, he doesn't like me. He wants to shag me, no question. I know he is a womanizer and I'm not going to be another skimpy crazy girl drooling all over him!" I said "I think he thinks more of you than just a skimpy crazy girl, your the only girl that doesn't fall to his feet!" Fred exclaimed " Fred I have an idea! I was thinking about it just now." I said changing the subject "What if you guys say queen with a crescendo making it louder to bring a little fun!" I said "Valarie you are brilliant!" Fred said. The band started to play and they sounded amazing. They had whipped up a whole song in only a couple hours. It's was now 4:30 and I had to head home. I didn't want to waste any more money on a cab so I asked "By any chance can someone take me home?"  "Oh Val I would but I have a ton of instruments in the back of my car and Deaky is coming in the front." Brian said. I looked at Freddie. " Darling I'm drunk and don't have a car!" I sighed. "I could take you," Roger said "No it's fine, reall-" I tried to finish but Roger cut me off "No really I can take you." Roger said "if you say so!" I said. I said goodbye and me and Roger walked to his car. And he had a Ford Mustang! "Nice car!" I said "it's whatever," Roger said back with a grumpy tone in his voice.

The drive home was pretty quiet, so I decided to make conversation. " do you hate me?" I said turning my head to Roger quickly. " and why do you say that?" Roger said looking back at me. "ever since by have been invited into the band you seem disgusted by me!" I said "I don't hate you, I'm just in a bad mood. I know this is an odd request but do you have any good places that need people to work. I recently lost my job and I need a new one so I can have money." He said almost embarrassed. I looked up " well actually I work at a coffee shop and we're very short on staff I know it's not an ideal job but it does pay well." I said " I might have to take you up on that offer!" He said "it's right on the corner of Harrison ave. And also stop here." I said " this is the bar." "I know just do it," I grabbed my keys out of my purse and unlocked my car and jumped in. I roll down the window and said thank you to Roger and drove home.
