Tourmanager..come on, where was she? Could they get out of that huge van any slower? Sean..oh there she was, he hurried over to her "didn't you get my e-mail?" and gently grabbed her arm, "Ok Jay, you really need to stop?!" she yanked her arm free again and gave him a pair of big, rolling eyes before she walked inside with the rest. He had to catch up with her again "what is your problem?" he pushed her inside one of the first dressingrooms "my problem? Boy I'm glad I didn't say yes to marrying you!". Jared was taken aback, his mouth forming a silent 'O', it hurt like a motherfucker "really?" his sad blues drilled into hers, melting her frozen heart "no..no of course not, I'm just.." she hesitated. "Maybe you shouldn't propose to me when I'm ovulating" she said with a deadpan expression on her face, defusing the situation instantly, a big smile formed on his face"what?", the tension went right out of the door together with her seriousness "you heard me, yes I'm ovulating and yes I'm going completely bonkers and my hormones are all over the place and no you really shouldn't be asking me those type of questions that time of the month" she rolled her eyes dramatically but her heart was smiling again. Jared walked up to her "so, does that mean I can ask you all the other times of the month?" and stopped until they were toe to toe, his hands carefully looking for a spot to land on, "don'tpush your luck!" she mumbled when his hands ended up on her hips." I know it's healthy to argue for a couple, but I don't want to fight anymore, I can't take it, I was this close to cancelling the show tonight" he scrunched up his nose, he just wanted to kiss her,"oh Jay, if you can't take arguing then you shouldn't be in a relationship, nobody can see eye to eye all the time" she ran her hands up and down over his muscular upper arms, he didn't say anything, he just smiled and kissed the hell out of her.
Sean had been hovering around that dressingroom for a while so as soon as she headed out of the room, he caught up with her "you know, we're one man, or woman, short tonight, d'you wanna come up?". The fear in her eyes when she looked at him was unmistakeable, "I don't know..uhm.." she stammered, she hadn't forgotten that he was the reason she nearly plummeted to the ground because he'd rather have her dead than with Jared. What was she to do? She wanted to make herself useful and seeing a show from the top of the venue was so much cooler than just watching from the side of the stage "I'll think about it and let you know" she quickly mumbled as Jared appeared behind them. Sean quickly shrugged and nodded "fine yeah", seeing Jared made him hurry back to the stage, "what did he want?"Jared's arm snuck around her waist, "he wants me to go up there,they're one light guy short and he wants me to do it". Jared took a deep breath "I don't care what he wants, what do you want?" the voice of reason she liked so much was back, hallelujah, "I would love to do it, it's a great idea but.." she pushed her hands deep in her pockets and looked at her feet. "You want to do it, but not with him around" he finished her answer, this boyfriend of her's was one in a million, he sounded like he could solve every puzzle in her life, "Yeah" she covered the hand resting on her hip with hers "I guess I still don't trust him". Jared threw his arms around her and kissed her softly "and you have every reason not to, so you'll go up there and I'll make sure he gets a job on the ground with the videowalls, how does that sound?" he breathed against her lips, "perfect!..thanks Jay" she sighed, god it felt good to feel that weight lifting from her shoulders. "You're welcome, I think it's really hot to have my future wife swinging in ropes above my head" he grinned and slapped her butt, "whaaatttt?" she raised her hands in despair as she walked away "you're a dirrrrty man, Leto" her hiccupping laughter curled around his heart "but hey, I like it".
And one, two..the first deafening drums of 'Monolith', and the wall that was still closed lit up like a funky Christmas tree, yes...yesyesyes! High above the ground a shiver down her spine felt even more intense than down there, was it the first time she saw how truly beautiful and amazing this all was? Her work, the colours, the monolith that would slowly start to rise in a few seconds..ok focus now, don't get distracted by the thunderous roar of the crowd, she looked down greeted by a wave and a kiss that was blown up to her, he looked as ridiculous as gorgeous in that beautiful dark,richly embroidered, velvet cape. Giggling she watched him dissapear inside the cube..and with the lift of so much colourful weight the room exploded, from now on full focus on the show, which was damn hard to do if your lover was driving all the hungry, starstruck women down there crazy. Look at her, I could have been up there with her..a man can dream right that she would even be remotely interested in me, right? no don't go there again, she's with him now, do I like that? Hell no! But I guess I have to accept it, for now..they're not gonna last, of course not..this relationship had disaster written all over it, let them run their course and once that is done..BAM! Make sure you're on the scene with a big, masculine shoulder to cry on and Bob's your uncle! Just don't fuck it up like you did last time, be patient and everything will sort itself out. Mr. High-and-Mighty there on that stage won't be so high and mighty then, he won't know what hit him, me, her best friend since forever, will be the victor, not that pompous ass with his ridiculous outfits that had to cover up the fact that the music sucked big time.
