Astral Convergences

A rare love

S pov

i'm watching her show, thanks to John. she's amazing and I'm so proud. "thank you Berlin...the next is the last song for tonight". she smiles, starting singing Undrunk. ugggh...she's so pretty. I take a deep breath, listening to her incredible voice. 

when the show is over, John reaches her in the backstage... she's talking with her bandmates. she turns her head and smiles widely, seeing me  "baby!"  "hi...you were amazing, my love"  "aw Shanbee, you stayed up all night..again"  "yeah... I enjoyed your amazing performance"  "but babe...you should rest"  "and you should be on me"  she rolls her eyes, smiling  "you're cute"  "you're pretty" I reply. "okay lovebirds. my phone is not the right place for flirting"  John says, grabbing his phone  "hey, where's my wife?"  I protest  "yeah, let me greet her"  Cari rants, taking the phone off John's hand. she smiles  "hey Shanbee...umm, we're going out for dinner. please, go to bed. your beautiful eyes are so tired..i wanna see them shining"  i shrug  "we'll see"  "baby...."  she pouts  "okay, okay. have a goodnight, baby.i miss you so much"  "i miss you too, pretty babe. i love you so much"  i blow her a kiss  "bye".

I take a deep breath, laying my head on my pillow. her scent is very present in this room. how should i sleep? i yawn... i'm very tired...and my babies need me. 

i open my eyes but it's dark...i grab my phone...it's five in the morning... i look at Cari's instagram stories... she's dancing in a club with the crew... cool. there's nothing wrong with it..it's just that i can't stand her being so beautiful so far from me, with a bunch of people around her. her clothes show her curves....i groan, rubbing my eyes. i sit on the bed  "oh baby, why do i still feel butterflies in my stomach for you?". 

eight am

i'm ready to leave the house. we had breakfast... i look at my mom and my kids one more time before i step out of the living room. Cari's voice fills my ears as i turn on the cd player of my car. but as i get closer to the place where i'm going, my mood starts changing. i park the car near the cafè. "hi Shannon"  Natalie is standing in front of me, stretching her hand out.... it takes all my strength to shake her hand. every part of is screaming  "kill this bitch". after we ordered coffee, we start talking about the situation. i hate her but i can see why she's attractive: she's very intelligent and cultured. an hour later, we're still here... "so, how are the kids?"  she asks me.... i raise one eyebrow, studying her face  "ummm... June speaks now"  "really? wow... she must be so smart"  she replies, smiling widely. "yeah, she repeats everything...she loves her brother so much...she calls him Gay"  she bursts out laughing  "no way..."  i laugh  "yes...well, we can definitely say they're my kids".

".....okay.... so....we'll meet when Cari comes back"  i tell her as i'm about to go away  "yes. umm...Shannon... i just need to tell you that i...respect you". i nod and wave at her, going away. as i sit in my car, i think about this meeting....it was really weird. i don't know how to feel about it. my phone buzzes:

beautifulbaby: i can't sleep. i'm thinking about you

she sends me a picture of her laying on the bed with the clothes she was wearing at the club. 

me: did you get drunk?

I turn the engine on. five minutes later, she replies: "a little". i sigh...my blood starts boiling. when i get home, i start working on my laptop. she's calling me on FaceTime:

Cari: baby...

Shannon: Cari... 

C: uh oh...what did i do?

S: you're drunk

she giggles

C: we had a celebration. this tour is great!
