Love in Boston

Chapter 3

The show went on smoothly, the band enjoyed themselves a lot. When Stevie introduced Say You Will to the audience she decided to have some fun with Lindsey from now on. So every time the chorus in that song came she would dance her little dance on the stage. When Lindsey started his guitar solo she walked over to his side of the stage, dancing right in front of him, mimicking his guitar playing, looking seductively in his eyes. Lindsey decided to play along so he tried to nuzzle her neck while he played but she would make sure there was some distance between him, so he couldn't reach her. Right after his solo he yelled "Oh yeah", knowing he would wake up with her lying beside him the next morning.

Halfway through the set it was time for Landslide, one of the acoustic songs. This was also the song that Stevie liked to dedicate to someone. Most of the time it was someone she knew, someone familiar in the audience, or in the city. Sometimes she didn't know anyone in the city or audience and then she would dedicate it to the band or the audience.

She had thought about who she would dedicate Landslide this evening, there were some people she knew living in Boston, but not very good friends or near family. She decided to dedicate it to the band, because it was a somewhat special night for them because of the fact they were being filmed.

"First of all, we always like to take this moment to ... thank you, the audience, for continuing to support this band." The crowd erupted in cheering when hearing Stevie's words. "And second of all because this is a really special night , as you can see we are, filming you as we speak" she said with a low voice before continuing: "I wanna make a special dedication tonight that I really haven't ... made before. I want to dedicate this song to Lindsey, because ... he thought me how to play the guitar that I used to write this song, he inspired this song, and I wrote this song about him. It's called Landslide."

He was totally surprised that she dedicated Landslide to him. It was so unexpected. It was true what she said, but he felt so honored that she decided to dedicate to him because only four hours ago she was awfully mad at him. Hè had no idea she was up to this. He didn't want to look at her, afraid that he would burst into tears when making eye contact with her. Instead, he closed his eyes and looked down, beaming inside. He told himself that he could still play this song, without showing too much emotion. But inside, he wanted to scream, cry, laugh, and kiss her. Hard. Especially when she put her hands on his shoulders when he played the solo. She did that often, but tonight it felt different.
