Twenty Five - Reminder

*'Every time you try to forget who I am, I'll be right there to remind you again, you know me.'*

Luara

I follow the lady through the corridors of the stadium, my body buzzing with excitement. Last time I went to one of Abel's concerts, I was in the crowd with everybody else but this time, I'll be in my own private section, right next to the stage.

"Okay so Mr. Tesfaye's dressing room is just down here and it's the first room to your left." She tells me and I thank her before following her directions, stopping right in front of his door. I knock three times before someone from inside speaks.

"Who is it?"

I don't recognise it as Abel's voice but I just shrug it off.

"Guess who!" I shout loud enough for them to hear through the door and when I don't hear a response back, I open the door, peeking my head in.

"Oh it's just you guys," I say in a monotone voice, scanning my eyes over the crew.

"Erm, excuse you, what is that supposed to mean." Lamar sasses, puffing out a cloud of smoke from his mouth.

I come inside the room and close the door behind me, walking towards the sofas positioned in the middle of the room.

"It means, mister, that you guys were not who I was expecting to be here." I plop down next to him, crossing my legs over one another.

"You were expecting 'your man' weren't you? You two are at it like rabbits, take a break." Hawk croaks out and I give him a dirty look before kissing my teeth at him.

"Why would I listen to the guy who sounds like he's on the verge of crumbling if I touch him. You should really put the blunt away.." I say with a smug smile and we both squint eyes at each other before bursting out into laughter.

"Na man, you guys really had me out here thinking you actually beefing or something." Lamar chuckles, putting his blunt out in the ashtray next to him.

"What can I say, we're just really great actors, aren't we?" I ask Hawk and he starts laughing again.

"Yes, yes we are, even if your ass is that annoying." I roll my eyes with a smile on my face at his remark, happy that I actually do get along with Abel's friends.

Just then, the door opens up and Abel, Cash and Hyghly all walk into the room laughing looking at something on Hyghly's camera.

Lamar nudges me and leans in to whisper something.

"Let's see how long it takes for him to realise you're here. I bet 5 seconds tops."

"Na, it has to be 10, he looks a bit occupied, I doubt he's gonna look around right now." I counter, cocking my eyebrows at him.

He shrugs as if to say 'We'll see' and I nod, looking back to where Abel is standing with his back to me.

"1..2..3.." Lamar starts before Abel whips around, his eyes landing straight on me. He smiles his widest smile before walking over to me. He's wearing his camo outfit and a black durag on his head and I look at him from head to toe, biting my lip.

"I knew I could smell you in here." He says, pulling me up by my arms and hugging the life out of me as if we didn't see each other just two hours ago.

"Smell me? It's giving obsessed." I joke, as we step side to side in each others arms, the crew groaning in the background.

"Please keep the lovey-dovey to a minimum, I already see enough as it is." Lamar complains, fake gagging as he glares at us.

Me and Abel both ignore him and continue in our own little bubble as we start a conversation which ended up with him sitting down on the sofa and me on top of his lap.
