afterwards to warm them.
    “I can’t believe you brought us back here ,” said Jason, as he sat forward to hear Tom over
the pulsating music.
    “ What’s wrong with
here ?” Tom smirked, popping open his own
bottle and swigging it in the same manner.
    “ Nothing, but...”
    “ You’re scared
you’re gonna see your woman .” Tom said,
poking fun at him.
    Jason
lifted one eyebrow at him, trying to appear angry, though he knew
he didn’t pull it off too well. His face was too soft, and he ended
up looking more intrigued than pissed off.
    “ I’m not scared
I’m gonna see ‘ my
woman’ , I just think it’s a little bit of
a dive, ” he retorted.
    While
Tom had been teasing his best friend, his eyes had been elsewhere -
drawn to the stage where one dancer had been replaced by
another.
    Jason,
though, was clueless, and Tom could hardly contain a smirk as he
waited for the realisation to dawn.
    Tom
nodded at Jason, glanced at the stage and then back to
Jason.
    “So, if you saw her, you’re not gonna get all nervous like
you’re back in high school ?” he
joked.
    “ What? ”
    Jason
followed Tom’s gaze toward the stage and saw the familiar curls
that fell down the dancer’s back, the gold hoop earrings that poked
through them, and that body that he couldn’t forget. In that
moment, he really did feel fifteen years old again. He was almost
sure he blushed, something he didn’t do very often, if ever, and he
was suddenly very aware that Tom was watching him.
    Before
he had time to think of anything to say, Tom roared with laughter
on the other side of the booth.
    “ Dude, you got it bad”
    “ Shut up man,” Jason protested. “I just don’t want that
awkward moment if we bump into each other.”
    “Please! You’re dying to bump into her.”   Tom laughed again and this
time Jason laughed along with him.
    “ She’s just so
damn hot ” Jason finally said, as he
swigged on his beer and watched her move. She wasn’t particularly
tall, in fact, she was pretty short, but her legs seemed to go on
for days, especially in the tiny mini skirt she had on. As she
gripped onto the pole with her legs and turned upside down, her
breasts pushed up in her bra, and he wondered how they managed to
stay contained. For someone of quite small stature, she had curves
and bumps in all the right places.
    “ You should go say
hi, tell her you’ve got champagne at your hotel .” Tom laughed again at his own comment, and Jason wished he
was closer so he could smack him. He knew he’d come to regret
telling Tom the finer details of that first night. Nevertheless, he
was now thinking of ways he could approach and talk to Dee without
the mention of champagne.
    After Dee had left the stage, Jason and Tom sat talking for a
while. They reminisced about the last time they were home. Though
it was only months ago, it felt like years. Tom was missing his
little girl, and was excited to spend some time with her, while
Jason couldn’t wait to taste his grandmother’s home cooking. He was
almost salivating at the mention of her homemade cobbler. Still,
Jason was excited to return once the album was released and get
straight to work. He knew the promotion was hard work but the
things came after that were the reason he was in this business; the
shows, the tour, the fans.
    He truly
did love what he did, even if it did mean hardly seeing his family.
The men sat for another hour or so chatting about home before Tom
suggested getting back to the hotel to get some sleep. Jason agreed
it was probably a good idea  and got up to use the bathroom
before they left. As he approached the bar in front of the toilets,
he saw her, sitting on a bar stool, texting on her phone. He
wondered if he should approach her, at least say hi, but as she
wasn’t even looking in his direction, he reluctantly walked on by
to use the bathroom first.
    His mind
worked in overdrive as he did his business, wondering whether he
should approach her, wondering
