He turned the pages with a dawning sense
of horror. Just about every girl he had hooked up with on this tour had been
cast by the show as an extra, including last night’s hook-up, Karina. Who was apparently
scheduled to start fucking Nick that very night to create a love triangle.
Tyler felt like he had gotten the wind
knocked out of him. The past five weeks had been like living a lie. Nothing was
real anymore. Katie had dangled women in front of his face like candy and he
had fucked them all. He felt betrayed, enraged, ashamed and lost all at the
same time.
Tyler carefully closed the Rock Star
Diaries ‘Bible’ and returned it to its original place. He grabbed his uneaten muffin
and coffee mug and stood up. Disillusioned, he walked off the production bus,
feeling utterly shell-shocked. He needed time to think .
Chapter 9
I shimmied into the long slinky dress and
studied my reflection in the full-length mirror of the hotel suite’s elegant
bathroom. I hadn’t slept in a real bed in ages and I couldn’t wait to sink into
the luxurious-looking bed later that night. And wouldn’t it be nice if I
weren’t alone? I knew it was an insane thought, but of course it was Tyler that
I was imagining with me.
The silky black dress was red carpet
worthy; sexy as hell, but it could only be considered classy. My back was fully
exposed and I felt confident going braless because of the crisscross design of
the halter-top that clasped around my neck. Under certain conditions, I was
sure that I would be ‘flashing the headlights’, but that thought only had my
imagination running even wilder.
I imagined Tyler’s hand slipping so
easily underneath the clingy fabric of my dress and teasing my nipples, or
slipping down my back and inside the loose draping of material covering my ass.
Shivering at the naughty thoughts, I slipped on my black stilettos and
practiced exposing my leg casually through the long side slit of the dress
until I was satisfied that I was ready.
While the rest of the crew had enjoyed
their time off, I had spent two hours getting my hair and nails done. Instead
of an elegant up-do, I opted to leave my long hair down, but I asked the stylist
to vamp it up with soft curls and big volume. It was less sophisticated, more sexpot.
I had gone all out because I was
desperate to get Tyler to notice me again. We had gotten close over our first
few weeks together. Despite my intentions to steer clear of the man, I had
looked forward to his visits to the production bus every day. And just what I
knew would ultimately happen, happened. My crush grew to near bursting levels, but
I kept it under wraps. All while he behaved just the way I wanted him to for
the show. Sleeping with a new girl every night. It was exactly what I expected
of him. I always knew this was his nature, but it still made my heart ache with
jealousy and confusion.
I wasn’t sure why, but something happened
to our easygoing relationship. Tyler stopped visiting me in the production bus.
He barely acknowledged my presence. He no longer watched me when he thought I
wasn’t looking. And if I was jealous of the attention he paid to other girls before,
now I was ten times worse because his behavior towards me had inexplicably
changed.
For the past several weeks, Tyler had
been living up to the bad boy rocker image. He was obnoxious around women. He
welcomed all of their sexual advances, further encouraging their raunchy
behavior, and he was drinking and doing drugs to excess every single night.
Watching him had become torturous for me.
Although I was sure this was the real Tyler, I had gotten a brief glimpse of
something else at the beginning of the tour. Something that had snared my
heart. But now, despite all the debauchery surrounding him and the throngs of
people mobbing him wherever he went, he didn’t seem completely happy.
Maybe that was why I was hoping to catch
his eye this night, away from the legions of fans. I
