As soon as I said my goodbye to the crowd, I dart off the stage, Mike, Tony, and Jaime not far behind.
I fling my guitar into the case and leave it there so that whoever was on guitar duty tonight can just pick it up and pack it.
I raced out of the venue, through the bus, and went straight it my bunk to grab my phone. I opened Twitter and typed out a tweet about how great tonight's show was.
Someone tapped my shoulder. I jumped around to see Tony standing there. He glanced at my phone screen and scoffed.
"Noo you beat us again? You are such a first-tweet-stealing little shit!" He joked.
When all I did was smile back, he asked "Are you alright?" He cocked his head a little. He looked pretty cute, I thought, especially post-show when he was all sweaty and- Oh shit I zoned out ok. Stay calm. I nodded my head, getting up. Not again. I made a lame excuse that I had to pee and slammed the bathroom door closed behind me.
I leaned against it and slid down to the point where I was sitting. I was thought I was over guys. I thought I had that beaten out if me years ago.
Now it's all coming back and I really don't want it to.
It's not just Tony I was attracted to; in fact it was mostly Jaime. His hair, his eyes, and those fucking arms, I mean I can't not like him... I heard a knock on the door. "Yeah?" I said cautiously. "Yo man, I really need to talk to you Vic..." Tony said in low voice. "Can...Can you just come out here, please?" He sounded nervous and a little scared.
"Yeah, I'll be right out" I slowly stood up and looked in the mirror. Ugh. I opened the door and stepped out. Tony looked up from where he was sitting on the couch, messing with his braid. He heard the door and looked up. "Uhm, so Vic, I really need to ask you s-something," "Alright, shoot." He closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. "I know this is fucking weird, but I've been feeling certain...ways about guys lately...And I can tell you have too." I bet the look on my face was fucking priceless. I was speechless. "But don't worry because I actually kinda like Mike...So could we maybe, pretend to date for a little bit just to make him jealous please?" Jesus. So I wasn't the only one. I think that's good. But Tony wants to fake date? To get to my brother? It sounded like a stupid idea... "I'll do it. But just to make Mikey jealous, right?" I sounded more concerned than I thought I was. He nodded. "Yeah. But just so you know, he's the only guy I've ever been...attracted to..." He gave me a crooked half smile and stood up, going to his bunk. What the hell was I doing?
I decided to put the plan into affect the next morning while we were driving...Tony had a briefing of the plan and knew what to do. Operation Wiskeyhands is a go.
