Characters: Phil Collen, Steve Clark
On Hysteria Tour,1988
Phil was standing against the bar, drinking some alcohol. He looked around the room to find one of his mates but it seems like nobody was there. He sighed and turned to face the barman, he finished his drink then asked for another one. Steve left him alone, he had good reasons to drink. After few drinks, Phil was a little bit drunk. Someone sat next to him and he looked at the person that was next to him. He saw a beautiful girl with a mini skirt and long brown hair, she looked at Phil and smiled.
"Can I offer you a drink darling?" Asked a drunk Phil. The girl didn't notice that Phil was drunk, she giggled and nodded.
"Mister barman! We'll take to beers!" Yelled Phil throwing his hand up. The barman gave them their order and they drank their beer talking about their life. Phil was too concentrate with the girl that he didn't notice that Steve was back in the bar waiting for Phil to come back with him at the hotel. Steve was angry at Phil, he promised him that he would go back at the hotel with him so he wouldn't feel alone. Phil knew that Steve wasn't feeling okay these days and he needed to be with someone. Steve walked angrily out of the bar and called a taxi to go back at the hotel. A taxi quickly pulled over so Steve could step in it. After the ride, Steve paid the driver and walked in the hotel then straight to his room he was supposed to share with Phil. What if he'll come back with a girl? No, he can't do that to me, thought Steve. A lot of questions, voices and bad things were running in Steve's mind and he didn't know what to do, he decided to do the most logical thing that came to his mind : go to sleep and wait for his mind to calm down even though he knew that this would never happen. Back at the bar, Phil was completely drunk and all he wanted to do was to have a good night with this girl that he knew for about 2 hours.
"Do you think that we could finish this evening in your room with a bottle of champagne?" Asked Phil smiling. She looked up at Phil and smiled and nodded. She got up and Phil followed her. The girl giggled and took Phil's hand and dragged her outside the bar. At the hotel, both of them walked into the girl's hotel room. Phil kissed her and they started to make out like there was no tomorrow.
NEXT MORNING
Phil woke up in the bed not knowing where he was. He rolled over and saw the girl. He laughed remembering the night he just passed with her. He got up from the bed and got dressed. Since the girl was at the same hotel that him, he walked straight to his room. When he entered in the room, he immediately noticed that Steve was rolled in a ball on the bed. He knew that he made a big mistake by leaving him alone last night. He walked close to the bed and sat down.
"Steve? You alright mate?" Asked Phil passing his hands into Steve's hair. Steve looked up and looked like he was about to cry.
"You left me alone. I needed you Phil." Whispered Steve.
" I know mate, I know. I made a huge mistake but I'm here now. And I'm gonna take care of you." Said Phil still playing with Steve's hair.
Steve looked at him and nodded.
"I have to take a shower, you want to come with me." Asked Phil leaning closer to kiss Steve. Steve kissed Phil, he was a charming man and Steve couldn't resist his kiss.
