Funny Feeling (Joey Mac)

Chap 3: Girlfriend?

  |Kimberly| 

     I woke up in the hotel room with Ashley already up and getting ready. She told me the band was leaving in twenty minutes, there I cleaned up and put some jeans and a shirt on. Ashley and I finally get down the hallway and meet the guys at the elevator, Joey wraps his arm around me. 

    Am I his girlfriend already? I thought. 

We packed into the elevator and headed for the buses, the manager as I found out was Dick Scott who had told us Ashley and I had our own bus because Dick didn't want any funny busy. Well, that ruins things. Not! I was glad, I don't have to see the guys every morning. It would have been too weird if I was on the same bus as them. Ashley was the tag along and she really didn't mind. I noticed Jordan keeping his eyes on her and never looking away and Joey whispered to me that Danny was closely watching my sister too. He says the guys will fight eventually. 

Ashley and I head on to our bus, knowing that the three boys were watching us from outside the bus. Jon and Donnie must be thrilled that the others are interested in anything that was music. 

"Loverboy, come on!" Jon broke the silence. 

Joey waved at me and I waved back. Jordan and Danny stared at Ashley as she was the only thing on earth. Jon pushed his brother away to their bus and Donnie had taken Danny with him, which left Joey walking away by himself. 

The next stop was in New Mexico and we found the hotel for the two nights shows they were playing. We some hours to kill before they were going to be on the stage. Dick let Ashley and I in the dressing room and because I was originally there to help Joey keep in line of the guys. I hope I help with his problems soon before I leave. 

"Kimmie, I'mma go get some drinks." Ashley left with Jordan and Danny following her. 

Joey snickered at his friends behavior towards Ashley. I hope she doesn't mind the attention. Jon shakes his head at his young brother and friend. Donnie laughs at his friends and Joey tries to hold in for my sake. The three of them burst out laughing and Joey noticed I wasn't laughing. 

"I'm sorry, Kimberly. I didn't mean to. It's just Jordan and Danny, it usually doesn't happen a lot while we're on the road." 

"It's okay, Joey. She probably doesn't mind the attention." 

Within a few hours, Joey and I talked more about each other and having a great time laughing at certain things. Until four hours till show time, I asked Joey if he should start getting ready for the show. 

"You don't have to get ready for the show?' 

"Yeah, I will in a little bit." He reads the paper from this morning. 

"Isn't it why I'm here? To help you not to be the last one and not the slowest to get ready?" I lean a little into his body. 

"You're right. I'll start getting ready. Don't go anywhere, babe." He kisses my cheek. 

       Babe? I thought.    

Joey had finished getting dressed an hour before the show started and some of the other guys were not close to finishing getting ready. I thinking I was already helping Joey with his problem. He kissed me again on the cheek. It was time to get out and wait to be introduced on stage, while Ashley and I watched by the side of the stage. All the songs I had never heard of and I really enjoyed them. Some great songs. 

After the show, Ashley and I sneaked back into the dressing room and waited for the guys to get back from stage. They came back and got dressed to their normal clothes. Ashley was watching Jordan and flinging her eyes to Danny. Jordan to Danny, Danny to Jordan and back to Jordan to Danny. I gave her a look and she shrugged me off like she wasn't doing anything different.

We head to the buses to take us to the hotel, I took Kimberly to the hotel's courtyard and we walked around until we found a bench far from the hotel, where my friends won't see us. I wraps his arm around me and she leans into my body again. 

"Kimberly, you being here with me, it has made me already become better at getting ready." I smile.

"Well, I am very happy to help you, Joe." 

"Come, there should be more to see." she follows me out more into the property until we found the fountain again. 

We stand next to the fountain, I look at the stars and she follows my eyes. 

"I know this is too sudden to ask you something like this. We met just yesterday and you being here on the road has made it much easier for me to tell you it now and not later." She nods. "But first, I have been dying to do this again." I lean into her and kissed her hard with passion. I let go. She blushes and looks down. "Will you be my girlfriend?" Kimberly immediately looked up at me and she blushes again. 

"Yes, of course, Joey." She smiles. 

"Jordan has to give me twenty dollars once we get inside."

"Why?" 

"He says you weren't say no tonight, if you didn't, I gave him twenty. If you did say yes, he gives me twenty." 

"Joe, you say you don't bet on things like that." 

"It wasn't me. It was Jordan. We do it on the road." 

'Well, how about a dinner, boyfriend?"

"Maybe. It's only--" I look at my watch. "10:50 pm"

I take her inside and we find the coffee shop that housed for the outside town's people also. I ordered us some milkshakes and a fudge brownie. We sat together at a table, Kimberly divided the brownie into two pieces. 

  "I already care for you as much as you think, babe." I kiss her lips. 

"I do too, baby." She pecks my lips. "Thank you."

"For what, babe?" 

"I get to experience this and be with you during it all." 

"You're welcome, darling." I kiss her lips again. 

"I have been meaning to ask about those songs?" 

"Sure." 

"The one that goes 'fist time was a great time?' What is that song again?" 

"The Right Stuff." 

"Oh. I'll learn them before we leave." 

"Yeah, you'll be singing them before you know it." She laughs with me. 

 I took her hand in mine, I kissed it and she blushed. After we finished the drinks, we head to our floor and to her hotel door. It was almost twelve in the morning. She told me that she didn't want to wake up her sister now since she is asleep. So, I slowly take to her my room and I let her get into bed first, then me. 

She fell fast asleep in my arms, she was so beauitful. 

Beauitful, was the last thing on my mind before I feel asleep.
