I just came back from the Maneskin Concert in Rome. It was my second one and I fell in love with the band even more I thought it was possible. Especially with the drummer Ethan. I couldn't live anymore knowing that he exists and doesn't know about me. And maybe I did a stupid thing, but I took my phone and texted him in Instagram.
"Hi!"
Just a simple text, that I thought he wouldn't see. So I left my phone in the living room and went to take a shower.After I came out, I saw a new notification on my phone.
"Hello there! How are you? Who are you? Do I know you?"
OMG! You wouldn't believe who this text was from. I double checked, no I checked 100 times before I could believe that the text came from Ethan.
Ok, put yourself together I told myself. You have to answer. My hands were shivering. With cold feet I started texting.
"I'm good, what about you? What are you doing? Don't think you know me, I guess I'm just a fan of yours. I feel really surprised that you answered"
He replied almost immediately.
"I'm doing fine thank you! I'm just chilling before starting our North America tour, which is happening soon! Yeah, I figured that I don't know you but somehow I had a strong wish to reply you"
I still couldn't believe that I'm texting with a rock star. But my fingers just started typing new text.
"Yeah, I'm jealous of people who will be there. I was at your concert in Rome, was hoping to catch your stick, but you didn't throw it. And then some guy just came up on stage and took it."
Ethan:
"Sorry you didn't catch one 😔 I usually try to reach as many people as possible!"
I decided to try my luck since I already got lucky today.
"I'm ok as long as you promise to give me one some day"
He replied again. And again with the text I couldn't expect was coming.
"I'll definitely try! But to do this I will have to meet you"
I wasn't thinking straight anymore. What was going on? Is he just being nice? Is he playing me? Why is this happening?
"I wish there was a possibility to meet you in person someday and talk to you" - I reply.
Ethan:
"Well, I'll make a deal with you: we can meet in person in Rome! And if you come to any of our shows in Italy during the upcoming tour, I can promise you we'll be having a face to face talk and maybe you'll get a drumstick too! ;)"
I got speechless.
"Is it a real promise? I'm actually planning a new trip to Rome soon."
He replied. Again.
"Then that's a deal. Just text me when you are here. Sorry, I have to go now. Rehearsal is waiting."
I still couldn't believe that this happened. Now I have to book my new trip to make a dream come true.
