for another hour! See you out there!”
Once again the crowd exploded in applause and the stage went dark. She and the rest of the bad walked off, toward their waiting friends and fans. For them, the night was really just starting, and she had no idea what Winter was considering.
He stood there, waiting, flanked by several people, including the two girls he showed her on the phone the night before. She tried hard to keep the disappointment out of her face, praying that they were just stopping to say hi and that was it. She smiled, and she could feel how tight it was, but prayed no one else could see her discomfort in the situation.
“Hey.” He said and grinned. “Kick ass set. You guys have gotten insanely better than before.”
She nodded. They were kick ass when she was having a good night; something that she realized would be every night from now on, as long as the barrier held.
“I suppose I will be saying the same thing of you guys tomorrow?” she teased. She didn’t have a chance to see the Shades set, as she was doing an interview and then she had to do her vocal warm ups.
“Damn right, Rhys is a man possessed these days.” Winter grinned. “Lo, have you met Stoli and Gatsby?”
Lola smiled at the two extremely hot girls. “In passing the other night.” She inclined her head. “It’s nice to meet you.”
Gatsby nodded. “I know we have hung out with Stanton a few times but I have to tell you, your voice is liquid sex.”
Lola blushed. “Um, thank you?”
Stoli laughed. “Take it for the compliment Lola, Gatsby doesn’t often give them.” She winked. “We just wanted to say hi. We have to meet Stanton in a few.” She turned to Winter and hugged him. “Thanks for the passes hun, seriously you guys kick ass.”
Winter nodded. “You guys still going to do the Vegas show?”
Gatsby nodded. “We are there for work the same week so we are going to stay and hangout, Cool?”
Winter nodded. “I’ll make sure you guys get AA.”
“You are the best!” Gastby hugged him too. “It was so nice to meet you Lola, maybe in Vegas we can have lunch or something?”
Lola, a little confused at what was happening just nodded.
“Well that’s us off then,” Stoli said and grabbed Gatsby’s hand. “Have a great night you two.”
She was still standing there confused when the girls walked away and Winter approached her. “You ok?”
She looked at him. “I’m just not used to groupies being cool, or even nice.”
Winter laughed and slung his arm around her shoulder. “They aren’t groupies. Groupies talk. Groupies make it known what they do. Stoli and Gatsby are collectors. And they are nice, I mean like actually nice girls. Yeah they are deviants and what have you, but they are genuinely nice girls. They don’t hold grudges and they don’t get jealous. Good time girls I believe Rhys’ dad would call them.”
“Does Stanton know this?”
He nodded. “When given the choice on groupies or collectors, collectors every time.”
They were walking back towards the buses, people around them watching them curiously. Lola was surprised they didn’t get stopped, but then Winter’s gait brokered no interference.
They made it back to the band area quickly and she noticed that for the most part they were alone. “While I would love to have this conversation on collectors and groupies, I think it will have to be at a later date. What time is it?”
Winter looked at his cell. “Quarter after eleven.”
She frowned. Fifteen minutes till she had to be at the after party tent for the VIPs. Not much time at all. She sighed. “I gotta get changed. Not a shot in hell am I going for pictures sweaty like this.”
“I happen to like it. But you’re probably right. You might wanna reapply that lip gloss too.”
She cut her eyes at him. “Why? That shit lasts forever.”
Winter smirked and grabbed her, twirled her to him and kissed her hard. She squeaked, and opened to his insistent tongue.
