back of his head growling something at him.
Marcus’ entrance is a little more reserved. He walks over,
plugs up this guitar and gives me a smile and a wink. I wave back at him
smiling, then I feel, rather than notice Connor’s eyes on me. Connor glides to
his area of the stage to adjust the microphone level, his gaze never leaving
mine.
“Um, something you left out there, bitch?” Gabbi snaps her
fingers in front of my face drawing my attention back to her. “Were you gonna
tell us that you met the rest of the band or were you going to try to keep them
all to yourself?”
Michelle and Gabbi are glaring at me. “Well, we went through
the back door so Connor could do a few things before we walked out to meet you,
and we ran into the guys.” I say sweetly hoping to calm their ire with me. I
pointed out each of the guys, telling the girls who was who, giggling when I
told Gabbi that the funny looking guitar was called a bass.
Shameful Regret start their set, saving me from more of the
inquisition from Gabbi and Michelle. Just like last night, Connor’s charisma
commands the stage. I actually notice how well the rest of the guys interacted
with the crowd to. Marcus seems a little shy, but he winks and smiles down at
the ladies jumping around the stage. Wade continues making lewd gestures with
his guitar and is shamelessly flirting away. Seth keeps his rear on his stool,
but that doesn’t stop him from looking towards our table and making faces at
us.
The set is great. It is a mix of covers of other bands mixed
with some original songs too. Connor’s voice is mesmerizing. When they get to
the last song that is obviously the namesake of the band, I can hear the pain
in Connor’s voice. His eyes are closed the entire time he is singing. “I’m so
sorry I let you down. There is nothing that could make me forget. What I did
will always be my shameful regret.” When he finishes the last refrain, he opens
his eyes. I can see that there is a tortured look that vanishes quickly.
Gabbi and Michelle look like they really enjoyed themselves.
Apparently, when Connor had our table reserved, he also told the bartender to
let them have whatever they wanted and to put it on his tab. Needless to say,
my girls took advantage of this, having several drinks each. I am still working
on my first lemontini.
I’m standing next to the table talking with Gabbi when I’m
suddenly picked up and swung around. I have no clue who it is that has a hold
of me, but my elbow lands against a hard stomach, then I hear an “Umph!” as the
arms let me go. I spin around to see Wade holding his abdomen doubled over.
“Damn woman! I need to remind Connor that you’re a feisty one!”
I am prepared to come up with a smart remark to Wade, but
Gabbi saunters over to introduce herself instead, “Our dear Nae-Nae is being
rude, please, join us. I’m Gabbi. I love your tattoos!” she flirts shamelessly
with Wade, and he is eating it up. Wade has both of his arms covered in full
tattoo sleeves.
Connor walks out with Marcus and Seth, heading directly over
to me. He doesn’t say a word before grabbing my face between his large hands
swooping in for a passionate kiss. I’m so taken off guard that my knees
literally buckle, but he quickly brings one of his arms down to wrap around my
waist. When he breaks the kiss he whispers into my ear “I wanted to do that
last night when I first saw you, but I thought I’d frighten you away.”
I know my cheeks are bright red again, I can feel the heat
in my face. I look up into Connor’s eyes staring down at me, “Yeah, I probably
would have run.”
“Sweetness, you did run.”
“I mean, I would have run sooner. Again, I’m sorry about
that, but I’m glad I’m here now.” and I really do mean it. I’m glad that I am
standing here in Connor’s arms.
Michelle clears her throat behind me. I had completely
forgotten her and Gabbi were here. All I see and hear is Connor. “Uh, Sweetness
is it now?
