While Ava played with Casie, I sat with Colson and Slim at the hotel dining table going over tonight's show. Brian left me in charge of this one due to him needing to be in Los Angeles for tomorrow's show.
"So what's the track list looking like? Do we need pages 13 to 17"? I asked.
"Wait, what's on those pages"? Colson asked.
"That's the trampoline". Slim chuckled and he turned to Colson. "Last time you did it, you twisted your ankle and were on cruches".
Colson shook his head and flipped through the pages after it.
"I want the normal stuff. Maybe we can do the stage dive or something". He spoke.
"You can't wear your boots then". I giggled, and he turned to look at me.
"I won't kick anybody in the face. Please mommy"? He wined and laid his head on my shoulder.
I rolled my eyes and sat up, walking over to the girls. Ava looked up at me and gave me a smile. I looked at her outfit and giggled.
"What are you wearing"? I asked.
"Casie gave me this because it was cold. She said her daddy said okay".
My five year old was wearing a pair of Colson's white boots, and one of his tour hoodies. All of it making her look smaller than what she actually was. When casie walked out she was wearing something similar. I went to call Colson over but he quickly put a phone up to his ear, standing up and walking out of the room.
"Can you take our picture"? Casie asked.
I gave her a smile and walked over to grab my phone, opening the camera. Not only was he talking loud in the hall, I felt like i was easdropping. It had to have been Megan.
"Okay, say cheese". I smiled and quickly took the picture.
After the girls ran off to try on outfit number two, I sat back down next to Slim, waiting for Colson to get off the phone.
"Its constantly like this. They won't let go of one another". Slim mumbled.
I turned to him. "Really?" I asked.
He gave me a small nod, turning back to the folder of things. I never understood this. If he's unhappy, why won't he leave? Or if he's really happy, why not move the wedding up? Sometimes it's good to be involved, other times it's best to lay low.
What the hell was I doing now?
^ ^
About an hour after dress up and work talk Ashley offered to watch the girls tonight. I haven't fully been out and about with Colson so part of me was nervous. The other part felt okay due to Slim and Rook coming, then meeting his friend Pete.
I turned to look in the mirror, possibly dreading my outfit choice, but then again, I'm single and ready to mingle.

I pulled my dress in all different directions, trying to mak it look presentable, nothing worked.
"Hot damn momma"!
I turned to see Slim and Rook standing in the doorway of the bedroom.
"Is it to much"? I asked.
Both men looked down at the dress then up to my face. Rook giving me a wink.
"Definitely not. You're hot as fuck". Rook grinned.
I rolled my eyes and grabbed my bag and walked past them. That's when I bumped into him. His hair was slicked back, black suit, black shirt and the smell of his aftershave mixed with a touch of pot smoke. I quickly wiped the droll from my mouth as he gave me a look.

"Damn". He mumbled.
I felt my face get hot, trying to fix the dress again. He reached over to the counter and grabbed two shot glasses, filling it up with a light purple liquor. He gave me a wink and handed me the shot glass.
"What's this"? I asked, smelling the shot.
"Number one rule in shot taking. Never smell the liquid inside the glass". He chuckled and clinked our glasses, downing his in seconds.
I held my nose and took the shot quickly, flapping my arms as the taste coated my thoat.
"Oh cmon. You always liked this stuff. Remember Amber's parties? We would mix it with a ton of other shit. Always a lightweight." He chuckled
"And that's why you never remembered to do your homework". I laughed.
He made a face and decided to pour another one, handing me mine back.
"Two? I don't think I can". I laughed.
He nodded and took his down quickly. Then grabbing mine. "Then ill take it". He said but i stopped him.
No need to get wasted before leaving the hotel.
"I'll take it". I said and pinched my nose again, taking it all back and doing the same thing.
I handed him the shot glass back as slim and Rook walked in, all dressed up as well.
"Damn, we all clean up good". Rook chuckled.
"Not as good as Emmy. You look beautiful". Slim smiled and kissed my hand.
Colson set the shot glass down and walked over to the door, turning back to us.
"Now that you stopped eye fucking her, can we go"? He asked.
I turned to look at slim as he chuckled
"Jealous much"? Rook asked.
Colson rolled his eyes and as we walked out he stopped me.
"I'm going to need a drinking buddy. You in"? He asked.
I felt his hand grab mine, making the butterflies come to the surface. I gave him a smile as he intertwined our hands together and walked us out of the room.
