Musicians Tale

Ma Cherie

I woke up with a gentle shake, waking me from a deep sleep. Gage was trying to wake me up. "Can I help you?" I moaned and covered my face with my pillow. "Your phone was going off." He said and I sat up and grabbed my phone from his hand.

Emmy: good morning sunshine. happy 1 year!

I smiled, holy shit.

Tara: gm and happy 1 year to you too!

Emmy: My mom is gonna be at the show tonight, would you be willing to meet her?

I smiled.

Tara: I would love to.

Emmy: Perfect, I will be over in an hour to come get you.

Tara: Okay

I got out of bed and grabbed the outfit I picked out. I ran into the bathroom and got into the shower. The water tinkled down my skin as I sang the lyrics to Roger Rabbits By Sleeping With Sirens. I got out of the shower 5 minutes later soaking. I got dressed and dried my hair. I did my makeup but did very little. I wanted Emerson's mom to think of me in a good way. I ran out of the bathroom with Emerson's present I had been hiding. "Well, you look formal but good at the same time. You don't usually dress like that. Whats going on?" Jake said and I laughed. "It's Emerson and I's anniversary today and I am meeting his mom tonight." I said and everyone smiled. "I guess you could say stuff is getting pretty serious between you two huh?" Axel said and I smiled. "You could say that." I said with a smile. "What are you guys gonna do?" Gage asked with his arm around Jake. "Well, I'm pretty sure it's just dinner. Then we are going to a Misfits concert." I said and they smiled. "I'm gonna see if I can convince Emerson to take me to the art museum. I have been dying to go see it." I said and they laughed as a knock on the door was heard. Axel beat me to the door. "Well hello darling!" He yelled and everyone started laughing. "Is Tara up?" Emerson said and I smiled. "Sure is. Get your ass in here." He said and I laughed. Emerson was more formally dressed than usually. I smiled and kissed him. "Okay, do you want your present now, or later?" I asked and he smiled. "If you are dying to give it to me, then go ahead." He said and I smiled and handed him the wrapped gift. He smiled and tore the wrapping. He smiled as he seen the notebook and opened it. "You told me before we started dating that you wanted me to use this journal to fill it with my thoughts and dreams. Everyday since the moment you asked me to be your girlfriend, I have wrote a section of poetry." I said as he smiled and flipped through the pages. "Look at the last page." I said and he flipped through to see the 2 Misfits tickets. His jaw dropped and a smile was plastered on his face. "You didn't!" He said and I smiled and nodded. He hugged me and kissed me.  "So that is what you were hiding!" Axel said and I laughed. "I can't wait to read this all." He said and I smiled. "I'm afraid my gift is at my bus." He said and I laughed. "Well, I will see you guys at the show." I said and everyone smiled. "Don't get her pregnant!" Gage screamed and we both laughed and began to walk to his bus.  "I can't believe you got me those tickets." He said and I smiled. "I got my connections." I said and smiled. He opened the door an told me to sit on the couch. I smiled and sat down. He came out with a large box. I looked at him with a crooked eyebrow. Remington and Sebastian sat by the counter and watched me open it. A cage? "Thanks for the cage?" I said and everyone started laughing as Emerson opened the door to the bathroom. A small  German Shepherd ran out. It ran up to me. "Oh my god you didn't." I said and he nodded. "I figured I would let you name her." He said and I smiled. "How is Aria?" I said and he smiled. "I love it." He said and I smiled as Aria licked my face. "Although, there is one more thing." He said and I sighed. He grabbed something from his pocket. It was wrapped carefully. I unraveled it, to see a portrait of myself with Emerson and Aria in the background. I smiled and kissed Emerson. "Thank you." I said and he nodded. Remington smiled. "Oh and Tara?" He said and I looked at him. "Yeah?" I said and he smirked. "Monica never cheated on me. We are still happily together. That was all a setup so we could go pickup Aria." He said and I gasped. "That was dirty!" I said playfully and Sebastian smirked. "I want a picture of you two and Aria!" Remington said and I laughed as Emerson sat next to me, and Aria laid on my lap. I smiled and Remington took our picture. "You wanna know what she did?" Emerson said and Remington nodded. "She got me tickets to go see the Misfits. VIP." He said and Remington and Sebastian gasped. "You didn't invite us?" He said and I laughed. "Well it kinda is our anniversary so." I said and they laughed. I looked at Emerson and he looked back. "What?" He said and I laughed. "We don't have anything for Aria."I said and he dropped his head. "Get Aria and lets go to Pet Smart." He said and I laughed. I picked Aria up and she laid her head on my chest. Emerson grabbed my keys from my purse and we walked to my car. "I drive!" I said and I laughed. He got in the drivers seat and I sat in the passengers seat with Aria. He started it and I played Fly Me To The Moon. Aria perked up when she heard Franks voice. Aria was just a small 5 month baby. He drove all the way to Pet Smart. We walked in and grabbed a cart and put Aria in the cart. Emerson pushed the cart as I looked around. I picked out some food, a leash, a water bowl, and we began to look at collars. "You know what would be cool?" Emerson said and I nodded. "What?" I said and he smiled. "We could get a custom made one." He said and I nodded and walked over to the dog tag maker. We put her name on it and our phone numbers if she was lost. Hopefully it never happened. Aria flopped on her back and Emerson and I laughed. We paid and walked out. I found a special bond with Aria and I didn't wanna separate with her. We drove back singing songs together. We switched to the radio and listened for a while and sang to the songs we knew. The DJ came on. "I was going through some new songs and I found this bad ass song called Grey Skies Ahead By Tara Blanc, so I'm gonna blast this shit." He said and my eyes flooded open. My voice started playing on the radio. "Oh my fucking god. This is my song." I said as Emerson smiled. Aria perked up as I began to sing the song to her. "That's mommy." I said and she howled as if she was singing along. Emerson and I started laughing. We got back to the bus and set up her supplies. "Get ready for the concert." He said and I laughed and got up and re did my makeup. "Can I trust you 3 with Aria?" I said, looking at Gage, Jake and Axel. "Yes you can, now go enjoy your night with Emerson." Gage said and I smiled. We left to go eat and go see the early show. We drove to an urban low key restaurant. Emerson opened my door for me and we walked in to the small restaurant. A jukebox sat in the corner by a bar. A woman came and took our orders. People began to join the dance floor as the song Somebody Else By The 1975 started playing. Emerson smiled at me with a eyebrow raised and I smiled as he grabbed my hand to join the floor. He spun me around and I smiled as I grabbed his other hand as we danced. His smile made me melt. Even after being together for this long, I still get butterflies every time I see him. His beautiful hazel eyes always remind me of home. He twirled me into his chest and I kissed his cheek and care around again. Our food came and we sighed and ran back to our table and ate. We ordered some champagne and clinked our glasses together. If only every day could be like this. Only months from now, I will be back on tour by myself. I didn't even wanna think about it. We finished eating and got back in the car to go to the venue. We laughed as we got in the car. "Thank you for tonight." I said and he smiled. "It's not even close to being over yet. After this show, we have our own show." He said and I groaned and he laughed. "It's gonna be okay I promise." He said and I gave him a playful dirty look as he patted my leg. I started the car to get to the venue. Emerson's phone went off and I heard him say "Awh." I smirked. "What?" I said and he laughed. "Someone got a video of us dancing at that restaurant." He said and I smiled. "Tag me." I said and he laughed and nodded. Minutes later, we pulled into the parking lot. Emerson looked like he was on the edge of his seat. "You okay?" I said and he nodded. "Let's go, I don't wanna be late." He said and I smiled and got out of the car. I am glad he is really enjoying his gift that much. He grabbed my hand and we gave the security guard our tickets and we joined the line to see The Misfits. A girl walked past us and Emerson smiled. "Could you take a picture of us?" He asked and she smiled and nodded. I hugged Emerson and she took the picture. "Thank you." He said and she nodded and went back to her spot. Emerson smiled and went back on his phone and soon my phone went off. I grabbed and seen a long paragraph and our picture. I smiled as I began to read it.
