I was walking round backstage with my ear phones in just taking pictures here and there. I had ZZ Top’s “Sharp dressed man” pouring into my ears from my phone, sitting against the wall just around the corner from the gorilla position. I was in my own little world until I saw pink flash passed me. “Nick!” I hollered as I jumped up. His back was to me so I was at the ready with my camera, as always when I was at work. When he spun around, his hair fanned out letting the pink show and he had an unbelievable look on his face, I snapped the picture. That picture was going to be gold, I knew it instantly, his eyes were shinning such a bright shade of blue. Nick ran over to me and without a word gave me the biggest hug, like we hadn’t seen each other in years. Honestly, it almost felt like it even though it had only been a few days. “My baby girl.” He sighed as he all but melted into me. “You didn’t miss me now did ya?” I asked laughingly as I brushed his hair out of his face. “Mmm, I will call you after the show is over ok?” He asked pecking me on the cheek and running to get a shower. I was happy that there was maybe 30 minutes left in the show.
Truth be told, I missed Nick. But like I said though it had only been a few days but it felt like so much longer. I opened the diva’s locker room so I could sit in a comfortable spot, the couch, and not the cement floors. “Hey Amanda.” Layla greeted walking in the room. “How are you doing Lay?” I asked even though we had seen each other just a few hours prior. “I’m fine. Looked like you were getting cozy with Dolph out there though.” She said with a smirk on her face. “Girl, you know we are friends. We just hadn’t seen each other for a few days.” I told her as she walked farther into the room. “I understand. Everybody thinks that there is something with me and Curtis but there isn’t. Just good friends.” She explained. “Exactly! Glad that you know what I am talking about. Now go take a shower girl! You reek!” I said laughing and holding my nose. “Fine! Be a brat.” She replied with a smile. “I will catch you later. Im going to hit catering.” I said walking to the door.
I had made me a nice big plate of fattening, not like I needed it, food that I was extremely ready to dig into. As I took the first bite of my nachos I hear a voice ring out as they sit with me “I was just about to call you darling.” Nick says with a smile on his face. “Well you found me, stuffing my face nonetheless.” I reply with glare on my face, but only for interrupting my dinner. “You want to throw that crap out and go get some real dinner?” “Do you even have to ask me? Now you are forgiven for bugging me while eating.” I laugh out.
