Fifty Shades of Lianny
Chapter 2
Lianne's POV
I was in a hurry to go back to my workplace so that people won't see me in their dressing room. They'll probably ask me what I was doing there. I saw Ben and Rodney doing sound check on the stage. I approached them asking
"Is there anything I can get you lads?" Ben replied
"No we're good, just doing sound check." He's a man of a few words.
"We're all good thanks for asking uhhm Lianne." as he looked at my nametag he smiled at me and said "Wow what a lovely name" I chuckled.
"Good luck for your tonight's performance I think you'll do great"
"Thanks! We will do our best!"
"If there's anything you want please don't hesitate to ask" and I left them.
People went crazy for the last 30 mins. I saw my friend Suzanne standing near the cameraman. She's one of the writers here on the show, and one of my closest friends on the set.
"Girl the show's about to start" she replied
"I know isn't this great? Once the judges are set we will start airing"
"I need to tell you something"
"What?! You're pregnant?
"What? No! I'm not pregnant silly!
"I'm only kidding haha you seem a bit nervous I just want you to laugh"
and that is why Suzanne is my friend. She's always there to cheer me up. I
grabbed her ear and whispered "I met Danny backstage"
"WOAH No way! Did you asked for his autograph?"
"Oh trust me I got more than that."
I saw her face ridicule at me. The judges were all set. The lads went onstage hugging each other before we went on-air. I think it was cute. The director went "We'll be airing in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1"
The host introduces our guests for tonight "Ladies and gentlemen let us all welcome, fresh from Dublin, Ireland the sensational rock band The Script!"
The crowd went and Suzanne covered our ears because we're standing next to the cameraman and the crowd was near us. The stage was just fantastic. The lights, the effects, everything was just perfect.
"I can't believe they're really performing in front of us."
"Me too."
I was holding her hand as we sang along, when suddenly, Danny winked at us.
"Oh my god did Danny just winked at us?"
"Uhhm no I think there's something wrong with his eyes must be itchy or something."
"No I think he winked at you!"
"No way girl that would never happen!"
As they finished singing the host approached Danny. "That was one crazy performance lads! So tell us more about your new album #3."
"It's music for the head, music for the heart, and music for the feet"
"That's fantastic thank you so much for being here tonight you made your Dutch fans so happy".
"The pleasure is ours"
"Ladies and gentlemen give it up for The Script!"
They grabbed each other's hand as they took a bow. The judges went to congratulate them. Me and Suzanne just stood still next to the cameraman.
"Girl they're approaching us ahhhh!"
"Shhh just act natural"
"That was a brilliant performance tonight, Sir"
"Thanks, the tea made me feel less nervous"
"Aww it was nothing Sir"
"Please just call me Danny." He grabbed my hand as he shook it. He introduced us to the guys and said "It was nice meeting you girls see you again sometime"
"Have a great day Danny"
He smiled and winked at me. Suzanne was grabbing my arm
"See? He did it again!" I blushed again.
The show was over. I waved at Suzanne telling her I'll see her again at work tomorrow. I can't wait to get home I'm feeling dog tired. But first I have to tell my neighbor Gabbie what happened today. She's my only friend in our neighborhood cos the others are so stubborn. I went outside for a cab. I knocked at her door
"Gabbie! Are you home?" She opened the door holding a bag of dog food. Max, her dog, literally pounced at me. I reached for his paw.
"Max! You're hurting Lianne!
"No it's okay he's really cute you know"
"Nah, he's a pain in the arse sometimes, but I can't resist. Let's have some dinner inside shall we?"
As we went inside, I prepared Max's food so that he'll stop licking my hands. I washed my hands to help Gabbie prepare our dinner.
"Girl you wouldn't believe what happened."
"Oh The Script? I saw them on TV they were brilliant!"
"I know! And I met Danny backstage!"
" Aww shut up! So did you asked for his autograph?"
"No but I got something more than that" I told her everything. The tea, the kiss, the wink, everything.
"Girl you are one lucky fan! I should have been there if it wasn't for my work!"
"It was unreal! Hmm how about I'll treat you a ticket for their concert next month?"
"Yes that would be great!" She hugged me tight. It was 8:00PM so I told her,
"Thanks for the lovely dinner, see you tomorrow!" I walked a few steps away as I head home. I removed my coat and went straight to my bed. I turned the TV on when suddenly somebody rang the doorbell.
"I'm coming!"
To my surprise it was Danny smiling at me.
"Good Evening Lianne, mind if I come in? I was stoked for a few seconds before I replied, "Sure, it's cold out here let's go inside"
"This is going to be a good night" as I thought myself…
Danny's POV
I went outside the dressing room and left her, pretending nothing happened. I was looking for Glen and Mark so that I'll meet the other fans waiting outside. Glen asked "Where have you been? They were looking for you!"
Mark added, "I told them you were sleeping, so they demanded me to wake you up"
"I wasn't sleeping, I just drank tea"
"Is that so? Then why are you blushing? Glen replied curiously.
"Must be the Dutch tea it's my first time drinking Dutch tea"
"Never mind that, help us sign these albums."
The crowd went wild. There are a lot of Dutch fans waiting for us outside. We signed some CDs and took a lot of pictures.
"Thanks for waiting for us guys we really appreciate it. We'll see you on our concert next month we all love ye!"
The three of us headed inside the studio for our performance. We saw Ben and Rodney doing sound check at the stage.
"We're all set" said Ben in a very serious tone.
"We're good to go guys let's do this!" said Rodney in a very cheerful voice.
I saw Lianne and some girl standing next to the cameraman.
"Danny why are you blushing?" asked Ben.
"I am? Must be the Dutch tea I drank earlier."
"That's funny, I drank Dutch tea before but my face never turned that red" said Rodney is a teasing voice.
"It was my first time okay" I replied in denial. 5 minutes before the show we were hugging each other wishing ourselves good luck. The hose introduced us and it was our cue. I can't help to look at her while singing as she was standing next to the cameraman, so I winked at her. After our song, the host approached us asking about our new album #3.
"It's music for the head, music for the heart, and music for the feet"
We grabbed each other's hand as we took a bow.
The judges went to congratulate us. Glen asked,
"Danny, did you just winked at the girl standing next to the camera guy?
Mark added "I saw it too the crowd went wild when you did that"
I was blushing again so I did not replied.
"Let's approach them" said Rodney.
"That was a brilliant performance tonight, Sir"
"Thanks, the tea made me feel less nervous"
"Aww it was nothing Sir"
"Please just call me Danny." I took her hand and shook it. Her hand feels soft, just like cotton. I introduced them to the lads and met her friend, Suzanne.
"It was nice meeting you girls see you again sometime"
"Have a great day Danny"
I smiled and I winked at her. We headed to our dressing room to get our things back on the bus. Mark said,
"Let's have a little celebration shall we?" He opened a bottle of red wine.
"Cheers!" as we clinked our glasses.
"So Danny, did you asked for her number?"
"Oh damn I totally forgot!" I went back to the stage as fast as I can.
"Haha silly Danny always forgetting about phone numbers" teased Mark.
I saw her friend talking to the cameraman but Lianne was not there, so I approached her.
"Hi Suzanne"
"Oh hi Danny! What's up?"
"Do you know where Lianne is? I have to ask her something"
"She went home she said she was very tired. Do you want me to call her?"
"No, it's okay. But do you know where she lives? I'll just ask her personally"
"Sure I'll give you the address" She grabbed a piece of paper and wrote Lianne's address.
"Thank you Suzanne have a great day"
"No worries! And you too Danny!"
I went to our dressing room and everything was all set. I grabbed my things and headed back on our bus with them. Glen asked,
"So, any plans for tonight before we leave tomorrow morning?" Mark replied,
"Hey we should see some pubs here I heard Dutch beer tastes real good.
"That sounds great!" said Rodney in a cheerful voice
"Why not?" said Ben. "How about you Danny?"
"I have to go somewhere else you guys go have fun."
"Ooh looks like someone has a date tonight hahaha!" teased Rodney.
"It's not a date, it's just uhhhm"
"Whatever it is, just make sure you won't get into any trouble" added Glen.
Our bus arrived at our hotel. I grabbed my coat which I left at our hotel room. The others asked the hotel staff about the best pubs near our hotel.
"See you later guys, I better get going. Have fun at the pub!"
"Don't worry we will! Good luck hotshot!" Mark replied.
I went outside for a cab and asked the driver to take me to this address Suzanne gave me.
"We'll be there in a minute hop in Sir." The driver said.
I felt very excited. I looked on the window and the night sky looks fantastic. The moon shines brightly and there were few stars sparkling.
"We're here Sir."
I grabbed into my pocket and paid the fare. " Thank You"
I walked for a few steps to look for that apartment Suzanne told me. I rang the doorbell.
"I'm coming!" I'm pretty sure it was her voice.
She opened the door and I smiled at her. "Good Evening Lianne, mind if I come in?"
She stared at me for a few seconds "Sure, it's cold out here let's go inside"
"I just do hope she'll like me" as I thought to myself…
