were great.”
I see the record company guys coming in. Fuck, I hope that means good news.
Rex, one of the record company guys, steps forward. “Hey guys, great show. The other
guys agree. We want to offer you guys the month long headline gig in Seattle. You’ll
still be back home for Christmas, but it may open some big doors for you guys right
after the first of the year.”
There is a lot of excitement. Rex walks back over to me. “You guys are on your way,
Gable, I’ve watched groups with half of your talent get far. Have you started working
on anymore original stuff?”
I think about the song I started working on the other night. “Yeah, I actually started
on something recently.”
He shakes my hand. “Okay, great. Keep working. I gotta get these other guys to
their flight. I’ll be in touch in the next few days.”
“Okay, and Rex, this is unbelievable. Thanks again.”
“Hey, you guys kick ass.”
After they leave, Scarlet hugs me with a death grip.
“Oh my God! Congratulations you guys. Seattle is so damn far away, but from what
that guy was saying, I’m thinking I better get used to it. It sounds like you guys
are going to be doing worldwide tours before you know it.”
I smile. “Thanks little sister.” The other guys and Ivie give her hugs. Ryder shakes
everyone’s hand.
Ryder smiles at Scarlet. “So, how about y’all join us for dinner? Sounds like we
have some celebrating to do. Do y’all have to stay until the other band finishes?”
I shake my head. “No, we don’t, but you don’t have to do that, Ryder.”
“I want to, this is a big deal. It’s important to Scarlet so it’s important to me.”
Everyone else is walking out ahead of us. I look over at him. “Ryder, man I just
wanted say that you seem okay. My sister really seems to like you and really seems
happy.”
He looks back at me. “I hope she is, man. She’s everything to me.”
I understand that more than he knows. I slap my hand on his shoulder. “You’re a
good guy, man, I’m glad you and Scar found each other.”
We’ve been in Seattle for two weeks now. The weather here fucking sucks. I thought
southern humidity was bad, this rain, snow, slush shit is for the birds.
Rolling over and looking out the hotel window, it looks the same as it has for the
past two damn weeks. However, getting to stay in a hotel rather than a damn bus is
great.
I look over at a still sleeping Gable, running my hand across his tattoos. God, he’s
beautiful. I run my hand further down his chest, rubbing his abs, and he startles
me by grabbing my hand.
“Mmm. That’s a nice way to wake up.”
I get up and straddle him. He smiles. “But this is better.”
I lean down, taking his mouth with mine. Suddenly his phone begins to ring.
I roll off of him. “Ugh!”
“Who in the hell is calling my phone this early?”
I laugh. “Hon, everyone else is on east coast time.”
He picks up the phone. “Yeah.” He sits straight up. “What? When? How long since
anyone has fucking talked to her? I’ll be there as soon as I can. I’m finding a
way out of here.” Jumping up, he throws the phone on the bed.
“Gable, what in
