Maybe It's Been You All Along - Alex Turner

43

  It was back to living in tour buses during their short stay in the UK for the Glastonbury festival. The Monkeys had spent most of their first day in Somerset doing sound and lighting checks for their hour and a half long set that they were going to be performing. It was also going to be their live debut of their hit song "Do I Wanna Know?" that they had released very recently back in June of that year. Since it's release, it had blown up. It brought more than enough attention on the band and created more and more hype for their upcoming album set to release in September. Already, it was one of their most successful songs and Alex caught it playing on the radio on more than one occasion. Everyone seemed to love it and made the guys all the more excited to open up their set with its live debut.

  It was going to be quite the show. The festival allowing them full creative control in the sense that they were able to have a wavelength animation, to mimic that of the "Do I Wanna Know?" music video, projecting behind them as they played their first song, and they even had the letters 'AM' in lit up structures that would sit behind them for the entirety of their performance.

  Alex trusted Rosanna with picking him out an outfit to wear and she ended up choosing a nice fitted suit; black pants and a matching black button up shirt with a silvery striped jacket on top.

  "No longer that little boy from Sheffs, in jeans and sweaters," Rosanna had said.

  "Becoming a man am I?" Alex teased.

  Rosanna shrugged hiding a smile, "I just think suits suit you."

  Unfortunately, Rosanna seemed to have woken up on the wrong side of the bed the day the Monkeys were set to perform at the festival. She was in a mood the entire morning. Something along the lines of not being able to sleep the night before.

  Everyone sat around their lounge tent with different breakfasts and beverages in their hands; the band pumped for their show that night and the majority of their friends and crew excited to go off for a few hours into the festival. Everyone was laughing and joking around with each other as they ate, everyone but Rosanna. Alex had brought her to sit on his lap when she finally came out of their bus to join them. He could tell she was in a mood. He had his arms wrapped around her in an embrace as she sunk into his body with quite the unhappy pout on her face. The only thing that didn't seem to upset her that morning was the comfort of Alex's arms around her.

  "You want anything to eat love?" Alex asked softly.

  Rosanna shook her head, "no." Alex smiled and kissed her cheek, not moving his arms from around her.

  "Why're you in a mood?" Alex asked playfully. Every time she got like this he made it his mission to make her smile.

  Rosanna looked up at him grumpily through her thick eyelashes. Alex chuckled and brushed her hair behind her ear.

  "Yer all moapy," Alex said.

  "Leave me alone," Rosanna groaned like a child and rested her head back against his chest, wrapping an arm around him as she sulked. She was still in her pyjamas, as most of them were and was everything but ready for the world.

  "I love you too babe," Alex chuckled and kissed her hair.

  After showering, she seemed to be in a much better mood and made herself a strong coffee to wake her up. "Sorry I've been a bitch," Rosanna apologised and hugged Alex from behind as he did his hair in the mirror.

  Alex chuckled, "yer not a bitch sweetheart."

  Rosanna smiled and kissed his neck softly, "I forgot to say I love you this morning...I'm sorry."
