In Drummer Heaven

Perfect

I walk in the back door from doing wedding stuff with Dani. I didn't that planning a wedding was so much work! I mean I've been engaged all of a week and a half and I'm already dreading planning it. Dani has her date picked--that was a huge fight by the way, we were supposed to be playing a concert in Belfast, Ireland the sixteenth of April. Long story short, we're not playing that concert--, the venue, and has the invitations ready to mail tomorrow morning. She's super crazy organized.

We found out the other day that us girls are going on an international six month tour that is opposite to Crüe's four months international tour and Poison is off tour for a while. It's going to be weird being on tour completely by ourselves for that long. We leave the sixth of March and we don't get back until the third of September. I mean we'll get little two week breaks in tour and we're all off the week of the sixteenth of April for Dani and CC's wedding.

I don't want to be away from Tommy for that long but I know it's what's best for both our careers. It's just going to be hard to plan a wedding while both of us are in different countries. Maybe will just run to Vegas...I just felt my parents roll over in their graves.

Anyways, I walk in the back door and Tommy is standing in the fridge. I smile and roll my eyes, for how much he eats he stays really skinny.

"Hey babe." I call and I start to untie my Chuck's.

"Hey beautiful, some photographer from a magazine called." Tommy says as I slip my shoes off.

"About what?" I ask and he kinda laughs.

"Our producer sold him the rights to our engagement pictures." He says and I scrunch up my face.

"So what the hell does that mean?" I wonder.

"Tomorrow at one o'clock we have to go over and get engagement photos done the way this guy wants them done." Tommy explains. "The photographer has a thing for tattoos and everyone is wondering about your beautiful tattoo so he wants that is the picture."

"So um, I'm going to be topless for our engagement pictures?" I ask and he laughs. "Well there goes any chances I had to get into Heaven."

"From what this guy said it was only going to be the one picture of your back and they wouldn't see anything. You'd be facing me with your back to the camera and I'll be like hugging you or kissing you or something." He explains. "And as for getting into Heaven I think you burnt that bridge a long time ago." Tommy laughs and kisses my temple. "Oh and I got into a fight with the guy on the phone."

"Oh god, why?" I ask and he sighs playing with my hair.

"He said if we weren't going back on tour in a little while he'd wait it out and get you to lose five pounds before we did the shoot." Tommy explains and I look down at my body.

"Do I need to lose weight?" I ask and his eyes grow.

"No! God no! That's what the fight was over. You're already really thin to start with. Any thinner and I think you'd get sick." He explains and kisses my cheek. "You're perfect just the way you are, Darcy. Please don't ever let anyone tell you any different, okay? Even if it's some photographer or someone who's really important. I'll got beat them senseless for making you feel less than perfect."

I smile and go up on my toes to kiss his lips. I am so completely in love with him that it hurts me sometimes but he loves me to just the way I am, crazy red hair and all. I pull back and smile at him again. Tommy smile back at me and moves my hair anyway from my face.

"I love you so much." I say and he kisses my forehead.

"I love you too, I can't wait to marry you." He says quietly and lights up. "That reminds me, our tour schedules came today."

Tommy pulls me over to the table and points to the two pieces of paper sitting on the table. In bright red pen there is a date circled on each piece of paper.

"May twelve, thirteen, and fourteen both of our bands are in Athens." Tommy says. "I was thinking, what if we got married in Greece? I mean my folks were married there and my grandparents belong to a church that could marry us. It would be a really small wedding and the press wouldn't know about it until long afterwards. What do you think?"

"I think it sounds perfect." I admit and he lights up. "I guess that means we just started to plan our wedding."

"I think so." He agrees with a laugh. "We're going to get married on tour."

The next day at the photo shoot I was just praying that Tommy  didn't get into a fight with the photographer.

The first picture they wanted to take was the one of my back tattoo which made me really uncomfortable and I'm sure Tommy was uncomfortable about it too but he just kept glaring at all the male workers.

After that picture was done and I had a top on again everything seemed like a normal engagement photo shoot. Like they took pictures of the ring (actually a lot of them), pictures of me looking at Tommy, pictures of us kissing, and pictures of us just laughing. Those laughing pictures were more or less because we couldn't take being that serious for that long. Something had to give and it was our ability to keep a straight face. They took this one picture of our hands while we were holding drumsticks, playing off that whole drummer couple thing.

The pictures took most of the day and I was happy when they were over. I absolutely can't wait for this magazine to hit stands so everyone in the world can see how happy we  are and that one day relatively soon I'm going to be Mrs. Tommy Lee.

I can't wait.
