"Girls, you're up in 5, 4, 3, 2, now!" our manager tells us and off we go on stage.

The crowd is already amazing. As soon as we're visible everyone starts cheering and clapping and screaming and whatever they're doing.

"Hey everyone!" I scream into the mic and the crowd get's even louder. I smile to myself. I still don't believe me and the girls have kicked it this far already.

I gesture for the crowd to be silent and they do as they're told.

The girls behind me are getting ready for the show; making sure the guitars, bass guitars, drums and all are in the right place.

"So before we get started I wanna introduce my band for the ones who don't know us. My name is (Y/N). On my left, playing the bass, is Laura. On my right, playing the guitar, is Denise and behind me, playing the drums, is the one and only Ivy. And all together you may call us Sunset Patrol."

Everyone claps and cheers again.

When it becomes silent again, I count from 1 to 4 to my bandmates and we start playing our first song.

We play our entire set with one short break near the end to let the crowd think we're already done. Typical, right? But we love to do it.

"You girls rocked it. Congrats!" our manager says when we get backstage.

We all thank him and just talk a bit about the performance.

"I've never seen such a pretty girl on stage rocking like that." a voice behind me suddenly says.

When I turn I'm faced with the one and only Eddie Vedder.

"Why thank you, mr Vedder."

He smirks, "you know me?"

"Don't act like you're a regular guy. Probably everyone in this place knows you." I say and laugh at him.

He gives in and laughs as well.

"So you already know me, but I'm not really familiar with you. Why don't we change that?" he says and winks at me.

I must admit he's damn handsome and the wink causes some butterflies to grow in my stomach.

Laura, Denise and Ivy have already left to go get some drinks without me knowing. I guess they thought I was too busy to be interrupted.

"Yeah sure, why not?" I say coolly, trying not to show my attraction towards to guy too much.

We reach the bar backstage, both not being in the mood to be run over by fans.

"So, tell me something about yourself." Eddie says while sipping his beer.

I tell him all about the band and how we got together and that this was our first major festival. I tell him about my personal life as well, not too much, just enough for him to really get to know me.

When I'm done it's Eddie's turn to tell me about Pearl Jam and about his personal life.

"Sooo...." Eddie says after he's finished his second beer.

I look at him expectantly, curious to know what he wants to say.

"You've got a boyfriend or something?" he asks nonchalantly and it makes me chuckle, "Nope. No boyfriend for me. What about you? Is there any special girl in your life?"

He shakes his head, "Haven't been involved with anyone for a while now." he laughs.

I give him a look, "That can't be true. There must've been at least a couple one night stand or something, right?"

He shakes his head again, "Thanks for letting me know how you think of me." he shakes and holds up his third beer.

"I'm sorry," I laugh, "I didn't mean it like that. I just figured someone as handsome as you would've gotten at least something.."

Eddie smiles, "Well, thanks for the compliment, but no, I haven't gotten any for a pretty damn long time."

Eddie and I talk for much longer and eventually both the girls of my band and the guys from Pearl Jam come back backstage.

They all tell us they're going home, but both Eddie and I decide to stay a little longer. Eddie has a car, so he can drop me off at my hotel whenever we want to leave this place as well.

We go outside and walk around at the location for a while. The alcohol is starting to get its affect on both Eddie and me, 'cause we both get more touchy towards each other.

"You've got small hands." Eddie states while he looks at my hand he's holding in front of his face.

"Shut up."

"I've got big hands. And big feet. You know what that means." Eddie smirks and I can't help but slap him playfully. As I'm about to slap him a second time, I trip over my own feet and Eddie catches me with his strong arms.

"Oops." I giggle and Eddie laughs as well.

"Don't worry, Darlin'. I've got you." he winks and again I can feel those damn butterflies again.

We walk back to the stage, but don't go backstage. We just stay outside next to the main stage.

"You're very nice, Eddie." I suddenly say without even thinking straight. You could say I'm close to being drunk.

Besides the beers we also consumed some stronger booze.

"Why, thank you. I must admit you peaked my interest, dear (Y/N)."

I giggle, "You know, maybe we should just kiss?"

"Yeah we could do that."

So, as said, we start kissing each other. It begins with an innocent, sloppy, kiss. Soon it develops into something more passionate and eventually Eddie has me pinned against a wall and we're both all over each other.

Everything he's doing to me feels so good, but I don't want things to go fast. I mean, Eddie told me he wasn't a guy for one night stands, so this must be more serious than that, right?

I push Eddie back slightly to gain me conscious and get my breathing back to normal, "Sorry. I hate to stop, though. But I don't want things to get too heated. Not here, anyways."

He smiles, "You're right." he says and adds a quick peck on my cheek.

"Let me get you back to the hotel, so you can sober up and call me tomorrow if you're still in this. I'd like to see where this could go. I like you." He says while grabbing my hand and he leads me backside so we can get our stuff together.

"Yeah, that sounds great. I like you too."
