“Bring It On” Lenny unexpectedly reached back into his discography and sang “Fly Away,” “Dig In,” and “Where Are We Running?” I used my cell phone to take lots of pictures of him performing and of Gavin and me enjoying ourselves. Gavin stood behind me the whole time with his hands on my shoulders or my hips and kissing me on the cheek every once in a while. I think he may have been worried Lenny would steal me away from him. He definitely had reason to worry because if Lenny had invited me backstage I’d be a changed woman today.
Lenny then came back full force to the songs on his new album and performed “Love Revolution” and “Love, Love, Love,” the latter being my favorite song on the new album so I was dancing around quite a bit. I turned around to face Gavin and we had fun dancing to that. The song Lenny ended the show with was a surprise to me. He sang “I’ll Be Waiting,” a really sweet song about him waiting on a girl to realize how much he cares about her. I thought he’d want to go out with a bang but the majority of the show had been really high energy and I love that song so I wasn’t complaining. Plus, it was a neat song for Gavin and me to sway and sing along to.
With that song Lenny told the crowd “Thank you! Goodnight!” I waved and blew kisses and gave Lenny a tearful goodbye.
“You have made me the happiest I’ve ever been,” I confessed to Gavin.
“I’m honored,” he replied.
Somehow Gavin and I stayed awake for the three hour drive home. We got to his house around 2:30 in the morning; both of us crawled onto his bed, dead tired, and fell asleep.
CHAPTER ELEVEN
Two months later, Evan was finally able to cut back on his hours at work and get some much needed free time between working and sleeping to spend with Elizabeth and his little daughter Sara. Liz was absolutely thrilled to have more family moments together. They took Sara to the beach for the first time. Evan and Liz took turns holding Sara as they waded out into the water. Sara loved it and splashed her hands into the water. She didn’t even cry when some salt water got into her eye. She just blinked it away and went about her happy splashing. Evan was there to see Sara take her first wobbly steps which the couple made sure was well documented using camcorders and camera phones. She tottered from the coffee table over to her kneeling smiling daddy and buried her face into his chest. Evan wrapped his arms around her and kissed her on the top of her head.
The long awaited double date with Gavin and Sydney took place on a Sunday night which was a convenient time for everyone’s schedule including Ms. Lenton who was going to babysit for Evan and Liz. Sydney suggested the Thai restaurant that she and Gavin had their first date at: Thai Moon . Everyone got dressed up and met each other there. Elizabeth was so excited about being able to get all dressed up that Sydney had to persuade her not to wear a full length gown. Liz wore a very flattering green dress that complimented the flecks of green in her hazel eyes as well as contrasting nicely with her fair skin. Her long black hair was in a bun with some tendrils framing her face. Sydney wore a simple but cute burgundy dress. Evan wore a cream sweater beneath his tan jacket paired with tan dress pants. His outfit went well with his chocolate skin and his fresh fade. Evan was only a year older than Liz and Sydney but he had an old soul that made him come off as around Gavin’s age. Gavin wore a dark grey suit with a burgundy dress shirt. It was the first time Gavin had met Evan.
“Gavin, this is my husband Evan Roth. Evan this is Sydney’s partner in crime Gavin Caselle.”
“Nice to meet you,” Evan said shaking Gavin’s hand.
“Nice to meet you too. You have a beautiful family.”
“Thank you.”
“Hey Evan!” Sydney beamed and gave him a hug.
“Hey Syd! Long time no see!”
“I missed you,” Sydney smiled up at
