LITTLE THINGS

Chapter 7

SAM'S P.O.V

I just done wearing my natural make-up for today's show.  I wasn't really wearing dress.  It was a dress, a floral one, but I covered it with a leather jacket and stockings.  I don't wanna look so girly or too hardcore.  Just be the real me that's enough.

"Where's Sam?  Does anybody see Sam?"  I heard Riley was yelling my name outside.  I was still in the bathroom.

"Dude, she's just disappeared for 5 minutes.  Don't get over protective."  Thomas laughed so loud.

"You little guy, watch me.  Hahaha.  Seriously where's she?"

"Doing some girl stuff Ri.  What's that?"  I heard Toby's answering.

"Where?"

"For Pete's sake, Riley Thomas McDonough, she's in the bathroom.  You want to come in?"  This time I heard Connor was adding.  And by that line, I choked.  "See?  That's her."

I tried to stop choking and finally made a way outside.  Riley was still there, having his phone.  I met everybody too, and did nothing but throwing a smile. 

"Sam, Riley's looking for you."  Toby hugged Tank.  Oh that dog, he's alive again.

"Dude, I'm here."  Riley pouted.

"Yeah Ri I heard it.  What's up?"  I turned to Riley.

"Ouch!  It's right here Cooon!"  Ryan, Connor, and Thomas shouted together, teasing us.  Nothing new.

"Shut up."  He grabbed my hand.  "Let's have some privacy."  Riley mumbled.

"Whoooops!"  The boys cheered louder.

"You're just making it worse..."  I shook my head.

"I don't care actually.  They will tease anyway."

"And you're okay with that?" 

"Should it be a problem for me?"  He winked, for hundred times already.  Stop it bro.

We went on stage, before the guard opened the gate.  There'd be no more time to talk about the stage act or something.  So Riley suggested that we're going to have 2 chairs at the center of the stage, with 2 guitars, making it intense. Then we're just going to sing acoustically.

"Great idea."  I nodded.

"What songs do you like us to sing?"

"I've been thinking about...  Everything Has Changed by Ed and Taylor?"

"Perfect! Okay let me write it down first..."  Riley took a piece of paper on his pocket, and a pen.  Of course.  Meet & Greet first important tools.  "Okay, Everything Has Changed.  What else?"

"Do you know this song called Loser Like Me?  It's originally Glee cast's song.  But I've been doing the different acoustic version of it."

"Oh!  Awesome!  Go it some first notes on piano, I'll be with the guitar."  Riley took the guitar and soon we jammed the song together.

"I love this song."  I smiled.

"Couldn't agree more."  He smiled back.  "Lego House by Ed?"

"Second that!  And Katy Perry's The One That Got Away?"

"Ouch you know my thing!"  He cheered.  "Lucky, Jason Mraz?" 

"Won...derful..."  I stuttered. 

"Haha!  I know!  It fits anyway."  He mumbled but I swear I heard it bright and clear.

"Wanna do Hello by Lionel Richie?  I guess that's a good..."

"COOL!"  He shouted louder.  "One old song would be a perfect weapon."

"Isn't it enough?  We take some requests too right?  So I guess that's enough."  I nodded.

"You're right.  Yeah we are.  Sure, let's try out something backstage."  Riley held the guitars and held my hand, pulling me to the back part of this venue.  Great.
