Band Boy

Good Morning, Rosie

I woke up to a door shutting loudly.

I opened my eyes and looked around the room. I nearly almost fell off the bed realizing last night was not just a dream.

"I'm in Tony Ollers bed ." I kept saying to myself, trying I convince myself it was real.

I got out of bed and looked outside the window.

Mal and Tony were standing outside. Tony smoking a cigarette, go figure. Usually smoking is such a turn off for me but with Tony, nothing is.

I watched him run his fingers through is bed head and look around in the cold morning air.

I went to the bathroom to refreshen up because I looked like death. "How could Tony like ME." I thought.

It was probably just the booze.

I walked out of Tonys room on the bus out to the kitchen. I saw there was a note from Tony that read:

"Good morning Rosie! Coffee for you is in the microwave and pancakes. When your done come outside.

-TO"

I smiled and got my coffee and ate my pancakes. Which were fucking delicious.

I grabbed one of Tonys huge hoodies and opened the bus door. I felt timid because everyone was standing outside, like an audience waiting for me.

Tony turned around, he had his glasses on which I've never seen before with a black hoodie and grey sweatpants.

He had scruff at the bottom of his chin, he must have just shaved a few days ago.

He came over to me and picked me up off the bus stairs and gave me a big hug and kiss on the check.

He looked at me and said "Good morning beautiful" in the sweetest way I've ever heard.

I didn't care who was around me anymore I pulled him in tighter and kissed his lips.

"Good morning" I said smiling back.

"Aye aye aye ain't this the girl lastnight TO?" Malcolm said in a really high voice.

I nodded, "My names Rosie it's nice to meet you" I put my hand out.

He shook my hand and looked into my eyes, "Nice to meet you Rosie."

Still looking at me I pulled away and wrapped my arms around Tonys waist.

Tony felt a little uncomfortable too I could tell. What was that all about?

"I gotta bounce ill see y'all tonight in the big apple to watch the ball drop right?" he said.

Shit. I totally forgot about Sarah who I left with drunk jake lastnight at the club. Who knows where she is.

"Yes sir." Tony said taking a deep breath.

Mal walked off with a couple of his friends.

"Don't you wanna go with them..?" I said to Tony pointing.

"Nah, I'm fine here." He turned me around and lifting my chin with one finger and gave me a small peck.

"Listen I need to go find my friend Sara..i just need to go back to my hotel room real fast and I'll be right back." i said pulling away from him grip and walking away.

"Hey hey wait I'll drive you." he said shaking his keys.

Dammit Tony Oller such a gentleman.

I nodded and hopped in the car.

Tony began to drive, his left hand on the stirring wheel and his right holding my hand.

I felt so safe. I looked in the side mirror and saw myself.

My face was almost glowing, I wasn't pale anymore.. I looked alive.

I smiled big and looked at Tony who's bright eyes were focused on the road.

"How about some music?" I said turning the radio on.

"This ain't the same summer song that you used to know, cuz jack left Dianne 30 years ago."

"OMG ITS AMERICAN DREAM!" I yelled.

Tony laughed and smiled at me and started singing along to the words.

We probably looked like idiots but Tony didn't seem to care.

We pulled up to my hotel and I hopped out Of the car. "Hold on I'll be right back". I said.

I walked up the stairs to my room.

I didn't see Sarah. I began to run frantically around the house.

"SARAH!?" I yelled.

I came across a note on the table that said:

Rosie, I decided to go back to jakes cabin in Canada with him for the week to catchup with him. You looked like you met a new friend Anyway ;). I'm sorry but this trip just isn't for me, call me whenever you need too. You won't be lonely, don't worry."

-Sarah

I threw the note down hard. THAT BITCH. We've been planning for

the trip for years and she just left!?

I stormed out of the room I felt the years rise up in my eyes.

I walked out to Tonys car got in and slammed the door.

I saw Tony jump a little bit. "You alright..?" he said?

I wiped a tear from my cheek. "She left." I chuckled.

"Where?" he said concerned.

"With her boyfriend". I said putting air quotations around boyfriend.

"Well, listen either you can be upset for the rest of your time here, or I can give you the best time of your life." he said smiling at me.

I leaned over to the driver side and kissed him passionately.

It wasn't a little peck, it was full of passion. And at that moment Tony Oller had got me hooked.
