surprise me.”
The smile never left his face. “Maybe.” We started walking up the steps to the deck. “So…what do you think?”
I tried not to over-gush. I needed to be cool. I didn’t need to go all fangirl on him. Spazzy fangirl wasn’t sexy in the least. “You guys kick ass.”
Scott looked skeptical. “Not just saying that?”
“No way. The music’s not exactly my cup of tea…”
He frowned as we got close to the keg. Someone was filling up cups for all the band members. “If I had a dime for every girl who said that…”
“No…I like it. I love it actually. Your music ’s just a little harder than I’m used to.”
He raised his eyebrows and took the cup full of beer from the guy filling it. “Thanks, man.” He looked back to me and we started walking back the way we came. “ Yep, I’ve heard that one too. What kind of music do you usually listen to?”
“Hard rock, metal. Just not as heavy as what you’re playing.”
H e raised his eyebrows . “So who’s your favorite band?”
I took a deep breath. I hadn’t been asked that in a long time, and I wondered if I could narrow it down. Well, of course , I could. “That’d have to be Slipknot.”
He took my chin in his hand and said, “There’s hope for you yet.”
“Hey , Scott , Casey!” We turned to the side and saw David approaching from the right.
I waved. “Hi, David.” He embraced me when he got to us.
“So what do you think?”
“About what?” I knew what he was asking, but I was going to be a pain in the ass about it.
“Scott. ”
Oh…that was too wide open. What I thought about Scott probably shouldn’t have been said out loud, at least not in front of all those people. All I knew was just looking at him made me feel like my thighs were melting, like my bones were collapsing, like I could just rub my legs together like a cricket and have an orgasm. But I knew that wasn’t what David was asking. I could tell from Scott’s expression when I looked at him, though, that he might have had an idea of what my dirty mind was thinking. But I smiled and looked back to David and said, “Holy shit. I had no idea. I pulled up to this place and heard the band…liked them. Totally freaked out when I realized I knew the drummer.”
“See?” David said, looking at Scott. “I told you she’d like your band. She listens to the right stuff.”
I grinned and rolled my eyes. The lead singer walked past and slapped Scott on the shoulder. “Ready to do this?” Scott nodded. The singer looked over at David. “Hey, Dave.”
David nodded. “Lee , y ou sound great as always.”
“Thanks.”
Scott said, “Lee, this is our friend Casey.”
He smiled and flashed me a look I was fairly used to seeing. But I could tell the guys with me didn’t much care for it. Lee offered his hand and shook mine. I was almost surprised he didn’t bring my hand to his lips and kiss it, the way he was acting. But he said, “Nice to meet you” and then let go and started walking down the stairs.
“Guess that’s my cue,” Scott said. I smiled but I could tell the mood had cooled. Shit. I couldn’t help it this guy was a little aggressive, and it certainly didn’t mean I was interested. If Scott hadn’t been around, maybe…
So Scott followed his bandmates , ready to play their second set.
I started to walk back down the steps off the deck, but David said, “Casey, the view’s much better here.”
“Not if I can get front row.”
“Yeah, but we can’t talk there.”
“Oh…” I took the hint. “So what’s going on?”
“Just wondered what you thought about the band.”
“Holy shit…impressive. Have they written a lot of original stuff?”
“Not lots…they started out doing covers, but over the last year, they’ve been writing some of their own stuff. It’s been pretty cool.”
I nodded but
