Gableen: The Back Row

(5)

Gabbie's POV:
After long anticipation, the end of the show draws near. As Miranda does her final song my eyes fill with tears, I'm so proud of her. Colleen that is. I quickly exit before she leaves the stage, I want to make sure no one notices me walking around backstage when everyone is trying to leave.
Immediately I feel her eyes dig into mine as I head for the exit, I grin to myself knowing she thinks I'm leaving.
Walking over I feel eyes scowl over me by the security, believing I'm a pesky fan wanting to sneak backstage. I wave them my pass and instantly run in before they had a chance to stop me.

I'm stood in a corridor leading to the stage I presume, hearing the screaming of her fans towards the other end.
I lean against a wall taking in my surrounds for a few minutes, quite surprised no other fan has also been given this experience. It feels like a lifetime I stood there, nervously playing around on my phone pretending to be occupied rather than look suspicious.
After what seems to be an eternity I spot the brunette run off the stage with a smile, my eyes quickly brush to the ground and back up before noticing she is no longer in sight. Did she see me? My stomach is once again met with butterflies as I pace up and down the corridor. Maybe she handed me the wrong thing? What if she no longer wants me here? "Why wouldn't I want you here?" I hear a sweet voice from down the corridor. Instantly I look up and and my cheeks begin to redden, I must have been talking out loud. The reply was from Colleen, now back in her own clothes and beautifully presented makeup, she didn't need it though. Before I had a chance to say anything I feel her figure glide closer to mine. I was anxious to take my eyes off the ground, but similar to earlier, our eyes quickly met. "I enjoyed our skit together earlier, I needed to actually say thank you for putting up with me touching you up" she said sarcastically. My blush grew harder than ever, I kept my head toward the floor, hoping she didn't notice my embarrassment, "I loved every minute" shit, that sounded weird, well done Gabbie their goes your chance.
Before I could reply, her voice spoke again with a giggle "it's Gabbie right? I know your also a creator, I couldn't help but invite you to come back and see me, I didn't know you were planning on watching tonight" she said shyly. So she knew who I was. It made me more full of emotion than I thought I already could. "I'm glad I did, it's probably been the best show I've seen" I say confidently to make sure she doesn't think I'm lying.

Colleen's POV:
I feel my spine tingle as she eases compliments to me, I want her to stay longer. Yet I don't know what to ask, what to say. What if she rejects me?
I throw us into an easy conversation as I feel silence brew, I can tell she feels nervous around me, hopefully I can make that change.
"We should collaborate sometime! I love your content" I say looking into her eyes, longing for her acceptance to meet again. She pushes off the wall she was leaning against, were now a few inches away from each other, her glow radiating onto me, her perfume overwhelming my sense of smell. "That would be great" her fingers gently brush my bare arm, giving me goose bumps. Her touch is so powerful. "I.. I've got another show coming up around the area, it's the last stop on our tour" I stumble slightly, feeling put off by her touch still slightly on my skin "Your more than welcome to being a few friends along if you want to be th-" I get cut off by an instant second voice "Colleen?" I hear from the other end of the corridor, it's Rachel, her tone of voice seems kind of angry. "Rachel this is Gabbie, she's also a YouTuber and came to watch the show" I glare at her, she nods and quickly moves on, as if she's interfering with our conversation. Something's off with her.
She picks back up were we left off "Yeah, id love to come again! As long as you don't take my clothes off on stage again" she laughs. I bite my lip in reply and wink jokingly. She slowly pulls me into a hug, I wish we could stay like this forever. Her body wrapped around mine is unexplainable. "I'll see you then" she whispers in my ear as we pull of out the hug, her raspy voice sending waves into my ears make me fidget. She holds out her hand and gives me her number. Yasss, I can't wait to see her in the crowd again.
