I Promise (A Connor McDonough Fan Fiction)

XII

Mic test. 1. 2. 3. Mic test.

Lift up the lights please!!

Can someone get Cody, please!!

Gotta love the chaos during soundcheck. Yup, I'm on tour with Before You Exit and Cody Simpson! Exciting, right? And this is my first show ever.

Right now, the boys of Before You Exit and I were just chilling in the audience seats while some crew were trying to get Cody to do his soundcheck. People were running around trying to get everything together before the show starts in 3 hours.

“So are you nervous?” Connor asks, leaning forward to my seat and resting his chin on my shoulder – which I would say, tickles. I was seated in between Braiden and Toby, and the rest of the boys were behind us.

“Right now, not really.” I started as I looked to my left to face him. “But I feel like it will kick in when people starts piling in.”

He chuckled. “That's normal. But I know you'll do good.” He said as he kissed my cheek and leaned back to his seat as we started listening to Cody sing.

And I said

Hey girl, pretty brown eyes

Wat'cha doin' later tonight?

Mind if I spend time with you?

It was my first time to meet Cody earlier, before soundcheck – when our buses parked outside and we simultaneously got down and went inside the venue. Connor introduced us and Cody sure had a way of making Connor embarrassed.

“Hey guys, long time no see.” Cody greeted with his Australian accent. The boys and him did their handshake that I'll never understand.

“It's only been 3 days, Codes.” Riley replied.

“Still long.” Cody laughed then his eyes landed on me. Wiggling his eyebrows, he said, “And who do we have here?”

He was kind of checking me out which made Connor place a protective arm around my waist. Oh, jealous boyfriend over here. I made a mental note to tease him about it later. “Cody, meet Meg, my girlfriend. Meg, meet Cody.” Connor introduced, putting emphasis on the word 'girlfriend'. His arm, gripping my waist tighter and he pulled me closer to him.

“Oh so you're the infamous Meg that Connor can't stop talking about?” Cody said as he stretched out his hand for me to shake. I gave him a confused look and then looked at Connor who was starting to have pink tint on his cheek. Blushing, how adorable. “I'm Cody.”

“Meg. Nice to meet you. I'm a big fan!” I said politely as I shook his hand lightly then let go.

“Its nice to meet you too and thanks.” Cody said to me then he faced Connor, “loosen up your grip, bro. If you had only mentioned a bit earlier that she was your girlfriend, I never would have checked her out.”
