Wait For Me - By Kings Of Leon.

*****

Silent as a flower, her face fell in dismay, aware that the ghost of lust ate and left, sensing that there was a different scent of perfume consuming the room, and that she had numbered and counted the he loves me, he loves me not of each petal, where the lifeless dust had settled.

*****

I stand there in my warm, fur coat watching him try and get a taxi, he pulls his thumb up and he starts yelling.

"TAXIIII! C'mon mate." He turns to me, "It's like he didn't even see us."

I laugh, "I told you before I can call one." I start grabbing out my phone.

He sighs, "It's fine, I thought it would be easy getting a taxi in the streets of Melbourne."

I put my phone back in my pocket and we sigh in unison. He looks at me and I look at him and we just start laughing.

"I forgot that I can call my management!" He realises and I start laughing even louder, "I guess you could, here borrow my phone."

I hand my phone to him and I feel his warm hand, "Jesus you're freezing!" He grabs my hand and they instantly warm up, and I smile. I watch him dial the number, mumbling the numbers as he presses it.

"Oh hey, is Paul there? Yes? Okay good, can you hand him over? Thanks."

He looks at me and crosses his eyes and I giggle.

"Oh hey, oh you did hear about her, everyone did! That's great." He looks at me.

"Yeah, so Paul. Are you able to pick us up? at, uh."

"35 Collins street." I say to him.

"35 Collins street, great. Thankyou so much, ok bye." He smiles, "Paul will be here any minute and he will drive us to our tour bus."

"Okay, I'm pretty excited." I smile.

"I'm excited for you to meet everyone. Oh and you will see our shows. Oh my god this is exciting." I laugh at him and he starts to sit down on the concrete.

"Niall, don't do that! It's disgusting!" I grab him.

"What?"

"The streets of Melbourne are just filthy." He stands up and it starts to rain.

"Shit." He mumbles. I start laughing, thunder bangs through my ears and I start screaming. He grabs me and pulls his coat over my head and laughs.

"It's just thunder."

"Hey, don't laugh at me! It fucking scared me." He continues to laugh and I fake punch him.

"Owwww." He sarcastically says. I see a man in a black van pull up to us, Niall waves to the man, and we walk over to the van. The man opens the door for us and I thank him and climb into the van, Niall sits next to me.

"Sophie, this is Paul, our big daddy." I start to laugh.

"Yeah he's cool, and Paul this is Sophie."

We both say hi and I look out the window, looking at the beautiful rain droplets, crawling down the window.

"Bloody Melbourne." Paul mumbles. "It was hot and sunny this morning, now it's freezing and raining!"

"That's Melbourne for ya." I laugh.

After moments of Niall kicking my foot, then me kicking his, we arrive at Rod Laver Arena. We pass through security and enter the back way of the arena. I remember going to this arena, seeing amazing, different concerts, but I'd never thought I'd see the behind area of the arena.
