Tennessee Whiskey AU

CHAPTER EIGHT

"Let me introduce you to the coolest guys I know".

"Ok starting from left to right, the strawberry blonde, green-eyed, Bratz doll look-alike is Haley. She sings up front with me. The cheeky looking degenerate with his arm around her is Conner, he plays bass. The leggy blonde next to him is Conner's twin sister Chloe who is the official band photographer. The dark-haired geeky one looking like he doesn't want to be here is Caleb our drummer. I swear he's only here under protest and if we hadn't found a way to bring Chloe with us, he wouldn't be here, and seen as she had a degree in photography it kind of made sense to drag her with him, and it keeps him happy which is all that matters."

"Well, she does make me very happy," Caleb commented while winking at Chloe and looking happy for the first time tonight.

"The spikey-haired nutball in the middle I believe you already know, Rob plays what he lovingly calls the keys," I say laughing while Jensen and Rob shake hands.

"Our guitarist and that sexy piece of Asian ass is Leo." Leo stands and fist bumps me and smiles after hearing me call him sexy, Jensen however doesn't have a happy face on as he moves from leaning against the booth to standing behind me, and his arm snakes around my waist. While I ponder what all that is about and wonder if something had happened between them last night that I missed. Leo seems ok though, so I have no idea what's going on.

"Then this pair of troublemakers are the last two singers. Erin is the short-arsed bundle of fun with the purple hair and Louisa is the curvy beauty with green and black hair and I promise you the resting bitch face isn't always there, sometimes she actually smiles."

Erin grins and waves hello while Louisa huffs "It's kind of hard to have fun when I know that drunken idiot is about somewhere and probably agreeing to something he shouldn't be and before we know it, we will be signed up for another six weeks of this shit. Please tell me we can fire him and get new management?"

Jensen looks at me with a puzzled expression.

"Her finance Oliver is our manager. We all love Ollie to bits but him and Jack Daniels don't mix well. "

"Ah now I understand, I guess it can be a bit awkward dating your manager," Jensen says.

"Oh no, that's not the issue. They were high school sweethearts and have been together about 8 years now and have been friends for longer than that. So long before the band was anything more than a pipe dream. When we started all this, he said he would manage us until we could sort something better because he had management experience."

"Yes, but there is a huge difference between a band and a fucking hotel. Fuck this I'm going to get a drink. If you can't beat them join them, and I can't beat him in public that would definitely be the wrong image for the band." Louisa snaps before disappearing in the direction of the bar.

I look at Jensen and give him an awkward smile. I never know how to act when she Gets like this. He's not a bad guy. And he's just letting off some steam. He does do a good job as our manager which is why we haven't changed the situation. But yes, he also does sign us up to do stupid things without consulting any of us. I'm fairly sure that's how we ended up in L.A in the first place, although glancing at Jensen now I don't think I can bring myself to be mad about that.

"Would you like a seat?" I say smiling at Jensen. I try my hardest to look charming and maybe a little sexy but seen as how I am extremely out of practice, I'm not sure if I pull off anything but slightly scary.

We sit down around the table and easily join in with conversations bouncing around us.

"So how did you guys all meet? I want the inside scoop" Jensen asks us all.
