Among the few faces in the barren, November Detroit, there he was. My heart skipped a beat, and my excitement could hardly be contained. I couldn't believe my luck - was he even really there? Thoughts raced in my head as I mustered the courage to approach him, my hands trembling with anticipation inside the warm pockets of my light gray hoodie.
Should I bother him? Does he want to see any fans? What if I piss him off? Rather be told to fuck off from Eminem himself than have no interaction, I decided.
"Excuse me, Mr. Mathers," I said, my voice quivering.
He looked up, looking hardly surprised to be recognized, and he nodded politely, not touching his hood.
"Hey there."
"I'm Samantha... I've been a fan of yours for as long as I can remember," I said. I could practically feel my eyes sparkling with admiration and even tearing a little because of the cold wind. He smiled a little.
"Thank you. I appreciate your support." I took a deep breath, trying desperately to gather my thoughts before he walked away.
"Your music has gotten me through some really tough times. It's like you understand exactly what I'm going through, and your words have just... it's amazing."
I was surprised to feel like he might actually be listening. Was he? Was he good at pretending?
"I'm glad to hear that. Music has a way of connecting people, and knowing that my songs have helped you means a lot," he replied. The wind caught his hood and blew it down, and baby snowflakes landed on his blonde bangs coming out from under his hat.
"What else do I say, what else do I say?" Luckily I didn't have to say anything else.
"Well, I'm going to be walking now..." he said.
"Um, can I join?" I asked hurriedly, not even able to stop myself to think about who I was talking to.
"Sure you can," he replied, and a giddy feeling welled up inside of me, and not even the November gusts could take it away.
