It felt as if feathers were gliding all over my skin. I let out a small moan when a warm feeling made its way up my chest. 'That feels so good.' I let out another small moan when I felt a hand brush across the tops of my breasts and give one a squeeze. "Mmm Mr. J." A sharp bite on my shoulder brought me back out of my mind. 'Wait a minute.' I sat up quickly as memories from last night caught up to me. "Oh crap oh crap! I have to be at work!" Mr. J pulled me back against him before I could move away. "Where do you think you're going Bellsy? We were about to have some fun." I smirked at the whining sound in his voice. "Sorry Mr. J, but I think we're going to have to postpone." Mr. J started nibbling on my neck. "Not fair." "Oh come on gorgeous we have plenty of time." "Speaking of time…" I gently pulled away. "What time is it?" I giggled slightly when his head fell onto my shoulder followed by his groan. He pulled away and reached over me; I assume to grab his phone. During his movements he ended up switching our positions so that he was laying on top of me; not that I was about to complain. "It iiiiiis twelve fifty-two." "Ugh." "What time do you have to be there?" "Five." He just hummed. I stayed silent as I listened to him make a phone call. "I need ya to get us some clothes up here." "Mr. J I can change at home." I rolled my eyes when he pressed a finger to my lips. "My regular, and something simple for Bellsy." I nodded my head as confirmation. "Oh ya know, t-shirt, pants, the whole nine yards…. Oh those? Purple of course, I'll send ya the rest." He said nothing as he started to type into his phone. He soon sat his phone down and turned his attention back to me. "I told ya you wouldn't have to worry about anything; now where were we?" I tried pushing him away but my willpower was quickly vanishing every time his lips touched my skin.
It was all lips, tongue, and teeth between us. My legs had a mind of their own as they spread, letting Mr. J come to rest between them. The hand that was threaded in his hair pulled taught as his very apparent arousal pressed into me. I pulled his head away and tried to catch my breath. He gave me no leeway as his hands went around to undo my bra. I bit my lip when the cold air caressed my bare breasts. 'I was not planning on this!' Mr. J's lips quickly made their way down my chest. I rolled my hips against his when his tongue grazed my nipple. He bit down and I couldn't stop the breathy moan from leaving my lips. "J." Mr. J suddenly pulled away and grabbed my hair. The warmth of his breath made me shiver when he leaned down close to my ear. "No more mister huh?" "I'm sor…" "No, no, no." He ran his nose up the side of my neck and but just below my jaw. "Say it again." "J?" He thrust himself against me. "Again." I smiled and pulled his face to mine. "J." I pressed my lips against his and wrapped one of my legs around his waist.
He sat up pulling me with him so that I straddled his lap. I smiled against his lips when his arms came around me; locking my chest against his. My hands rest against his chest, and I slowly rocked my lower half back and forth. I took his bottom lip between my teeth, biting down. His fingers dug into my skin and he growled against my mouth. I pulled away from Mr. J and laughed at the groan that left him. "Get back here gorgeous." I smirked and just shook my head. I gave him a quick peck on the lips before trailing downwards. "Oooh I like this Bellsy, keep going." Leaning back against the couch he released his hold and brought his hands to rest on my hips, tightening every so often. One particularly hard bite to his chest had his head falling back. "Bellsy, Bellsy, Bellsy." "Yes Mr. J?" "Ha haa, you say it so good Bellsy." "Do I?" I grinned when he moved and leveled his face with mine. "Mmmm so good." I giggled. "Do it again?" "What?" His fingers gently ran up my sides causing me to release another giggle. "That." "So demanding Mr. J. I don't just giggle on demand you know." "You do for me." He ran his fingers over my sides again wiggling them for maximum tickling. I couldn't stop the giggles from spilling out of my mouth. "Mr. J st-st-stop!" "I don't think so Bellsy." I rolled my hips catching him off guard. I laughed when he let out another groan. "Sneaky little vixen." Mr. J pulled me back towards him pressing our lips together. His hand reached up and pulled my head back changing our angle; he quickly took his chance pressing his tongue past my lips.
Mr. J's hand started wandering again squeezing my breast as it continued further south towards my lower half. As soon as his fingers started to dip past the band of my tights a loud ringing invaded my senses. The increasing noise startled me into pulling away from Mr. J. "No, no, no." "I'm sorry Mr. J but it's not gonna stop any time soon." I pulled myself off of him, sad at the loss of warmth. I reached my phone despite Mr. J trying to pull me back, and lightheartedly slapped away his hands. "Mr. J!" I stood up and went out of arm's length as I answered my phone. "Hello?" "Belladonna Night where the hell are you?!" "Hello Chris I'm having a wonderful morning, and you?" "You said you were going to get a ride home from Mr. J, and that was last night. I don't know if you know this, but it's Monday and we have to be at work in less than four hours. I will ask again, where are you?" "I'm at the club." "Uh huh, still waiting? By now I don't think Mr. J's coming." Mr. J's loud laughter filled the air. "Ha-ha-ha- haaaa you have no idea how right you are. No thanks to you!" I'd be willing to bet that even Chris could hear the frustration in Mr. J's voice. "Uh, heh I guess he did show up." "He did, and he's going to be giving me a ride." "What about…." Mr. J snatched the phone out of my hand. "Christopher my friend, don't worry, Bellsy is in very good hands. I cross my heart I'll have her at work right on time." "Alright, would you tell her I'll bring her work clothes with me?" "Already taken care of; now why don't you have a nice lunch and relax." I yelled out my goodbye before the call ended.
I frowned when I heard my phone land on the table nearby. Mr. J's hands took hold of my face pulling my cheeks upwards into a ridiculous smile. "Come on gorgeous, none of that; besides we still have time to kill." I slapped him on the shoulder, giving him a real smile. "Ha! There's my girl!" My smile widened when he pulled me back in for another kiss. Before we could catch up to where we had left off another interruption decided to spoil our fun. "Boss!" I laughed when Mr. J's head dropped to the crook in my neck. I yelped when he pinched me on the arm. "I'm startin to think this place is cursed for the two of us." "Well maybe if your preferred place of getting handsy wasn't a public one we wouldn't have these problems." "It's no fun if we can't get caught." I rolled my eyes and let my hand slide down the front of his chest ignoring the pounding on the door. His hands gripped my sides when my hand ghosted over his growing arousal. "Are you sure you wouldn't rather just have absolute privacy to do whatever we want? No to dos and no interruptions?" "Maybe but for now…" Mr. J walked me backwards until I was pressed against a wall. "Can't have you running away." I gave a quick pinch to his inner thigh and he growled. "Do you see me running away Mr. J? If anything I think I'm going deeper into your rabbit hole; don't you agree?" He gave a sharp laugh when I used his words. Smiling into my neck he gave a sharp nip. "I suppose you're right Bellsy."
I let out my own growl when I heard shouting coming from the other side of his office door, again. "Ha-ha-ha-haaaaa my kitten's claws are out ladies and gents, ya better watch out!" Mr. J poked my nose before he pulled away, and I let out a giggle. "Think I can cover up before you let a goon in?" "Well of course! Can't have em lookin at the goods; those are just for me." Mr. J handed me my bra and dress, giving me a few minutes to pull myself together before he opened the door.
"What?!" I couldn't stop myself from laughing at his abrupt greeting. "B-b-boss, Frost said to bring you these." "That all?" "He said to tell ya food is on its way and will be here soon." "Oh Frost, always thinkin ahead." "Oooo food yes!" "Hungry are we?" "Well I did build up quite the appetite this morning." "Uhh I'll leave you two to it. I'll be downstairs if you need me boss." "Yes, yes totter off."
Mr. J led me back over to the couch once the door was closed. The shuffling of plastic raised my curiosity. "What's in the bag babe?" "Babe?" I laughed at the disgust that laced his voice. "Oh suck it up buttercup, it's just a saying." "Don't make it a habit." "Yes sir!" "Much better." "Great, now tell me what's in the bag… please." He pinched my cheek with his fingers. "I can't say no to you, especially with that face." "Ha-ha, now pleassse!" "Weeeeeeell let's see shall we?" I listened to him take things out and set them to the side. "Mr. J?" "Right here we got some hand delivered clothes for yours truly and yourself." "Oh right Frost was getting us clothes." "You got it gorgeous." I leaned my head over to rest on Mr. J's shoulder. "I don't suppose there's a shower hidden somewhere up here?" I closed my eyes when Mr. J's fingers started running through my hair. "There sure is Bellsy!" I pulled back in surprise and turned my face towards him. "Really?!" "Come on." I grinned as Mr. J pulled me up and led me across his office. "Not that I'm not happy about the prospect of showering before work, but why do you have one?" "Well Bellsy as you can tell from last night; sometimes I uh get a little haha dirty." "Of course, between the blood and the sweat I'm sure it'd come in handy." "You got it toots."
I heard the sound of a door opening soon followed by running water. He took my hands and showed me where everything was. "Alright Bellsy can't have you fallin or tripping. I'm putting your clothes on the counter, and there's a towel on top of em for ya." "Thanks Mr. J." "Course Bellsy." I waited until he was out of the bathroom to undress and hop in. 'Holy crap the water pressure in here is amazing! We need this in our apartment.' I took my time scrubbing my scalp and everything else. 'I might have to stay overnight in the club more often haha.' I got out of the shower, toweled off, and got dressed; sort of. "It seems Mr. J forgot something." As nice as everything felt and fit, I really needed a shirt. I opened the door to his office slowly, and listened to make sure no one besides Mr. J was in the room. "Mr. J there's no one else in here is there?" "Nope." I made my way out of the bathroom. Mr. J gave out a low whistle. "I'll have to thank Frost for his fashion choices, but I think you're missing something." "Yeah I'll say. I don't really think a lace bra is appropriate for work." I listened to Mr. J walk closer to me. When he was close enough he ran his hands over the lace of my bra; one hand came up to tug on my hair. "Why don't cha just stay here for the day? Forget work." "No can do Mr. J. I've been off for two weeks, and I can't skip out on my first day back." "Ugh that rational mind of yours; gotta say not my favorite feature." I grinned and put my hands on his neck. "Come on Mr. J you gotta appreciate my work ethic." "Yeah yeah I suppose." "So about that shirt?" He pressed his lips to mine. "About that." He kissed my collar bone. I gently pushed him away laughing. "I have to get ready for work." Mr. J stepped away before handing me a soft shirt. "Let me guess purple?" Mr. J laughed. "Gotta match the lace underneath." "I should've guessed."
Once I had the shirt pulled over my head and straightened I was back in Mr. J's arms with his lips meshing with mine. "This is becoming a habit." "And a very good one if I do say so myself." "You're incorrigible Mr. J." "One of my better attributes." "If you say so." "I do, now let's see what's taking our food so long." As soon as the word food was mentioned my stomach grumbled, loud. 'So embarrassing!' "Hahaha someone's tummy has the rumbles!" He poked my belly button as if I were the Pillsbury dough boy. I gave Mr. J a goofy giggle before heading over to sit on the couch, and listened to him make a phone call.
"Frost where are ya? My girl is starving over here." "I'm almost there. I figured I'd make sure to get something I know the two of you like." "Well can't blame ya there; no one wants a meal they don't like hahaha. You have ten minutes Frost." "Yes boss." I shook my head listening to Mr. J pour himself an afternoon drink. I picked up my phone to check what time it is. "It's already three ten? Yikes." "Early enough for a drink; so what'll you have?" "A Shirley temple." "No-no-no no, sissy drinks missy." "Alright, what about a screwdriver?" "My pleasure." Mr. J set me up with my drink and took a seat next to me, laying his hand on my leg. We sat in a comfortable silence while we waited for our food.
Johnny soon showed up with our lunches. "Boss, food is here." "Well bring it on in Frosty boy." The smell wafting from the plastic bags Johnny was bringing is was divine. To my embarrassment, my stomach grumbled again making Mr. J laugh. "That'll be all Frost." "Yes sir." I waited for Johnny to leave the room before I reached for the delightful bags sitting in front of me. "Slow down Bellsy, let's see what we have in here first." I sat back as patiently as I could while Mr. J sorted out the food. "What do we have here? Looks like a repeat of our first date Bellsy." He reached over and tugged on a strand of hair. "Pretty romantic huh?" I stuck my tongue out at him. "Surprisingly so. I'll have to thank Johnny later." "Hardy har har." Mr. J thrust a plate and fork into my hands. "Eat up gorgeous. You gotta build your energy back up."
I didn't need to be told a second time to dig into my food. I would have been shocked with my manners if I wasn't so hungry. During a drink break I expressed my gratitude of the tasty sustenance I had been supplied with. "Thank you for the meal Mr. J, and the clothes." "Sure thing Bellsy. Now you better finish your meal this time around, I don't have any spicy peppers lying around." "Oh haha, you with your jokes, that wasn't a very nice one." "Didn't turn out so bad." "Naw you burning your mouth made it worth it in the end, but I wouldn't care for a repeat." Mr. J shoveled a forkful of rice into my mouth. "Keep going then." I rolled my eyes and continued on.
We enjoyed the rest of our lunch with relative silence. Once we were done filling our stomachs it was time to hit the road. "I hate to break it to ya Mr. J but it's time for me to get out of here." "Aww Bellsy you're killing me. I fed ya, clothed ya, made us both feel pretty damn good I must say, and now you're leavin me?" "Well, not quite yet, after all I do need a ride." "Right right, let me get right on that." I groaned in frustration when I heard the sounds of Mr. J making himself comfortable. "Mr. J you promised I'd be at work on time." "Did I say that? It sure doesn't sound like something I'd say." I got up and searched around the couch and table to find my purse and phone. "If that's how it's gonna be then I'll just ask Johnny to take me." "In case you haven't noticed Bellsy, Johnny doesn't work for you." "I'll call it a friendly favor." Mr. J grabbed my arm and pulled me onto his lap. "If one of my guys ever tries to give you a "friendly favor" it'll be the last thing they ever do." "Ha-ha Mr. J, it's just a ride." He pushed me off his lap and stood behind me. "Fine Bellsy if you insist I'll drive ya myself." I stuck my tongue out at him. "I thought that was the plan the entire time." "I suppose, but I have to admit I was hoping to convince you to stick around." I grabbed him by the shoulders and gave him a peck on the cheek. "Another day Mr. J, I promise." "I'll hold ya to that missy. Now let's hit the road." Mr. J joined me in laughing as he pulled me out of the office; my purse flapping against my leg.
His maniacal laughter had me in fits all the way to the car. "Tell me gorgeous, do you wanna be speedy or classy?" I put my finger to my chin in mock thought. "Speedy of course." "That's my girl!" He gave me a peck on the cheek, leading me to the passenger side of his car and helping me in. I listened anxiously for Mr. J to get in the driver seat and start the engine. "Alright gorgeous, where to?" I reached over to lightly slap him on the chest. "You know good and well where we're going Mr. J." "Ahh yes… to work." I laughed. "Bingo." "Hahaha alright." I poked him where I had already slapped his chest. "You better mean it this time Mr. J." "Course I do Bellsy!"
Mr. J backed out of his space like a bat out of hell, putting a smile on both of our faces I'm sure. I rolled down my window a bit to let the wind caress my face. 'This is nice.' "Enjoying the ride Bellsy?" "Always." "Hahaaa we might just have to get you your own baby." "Uh huh sure, but only if it comes with a chauffeur." "I'm sure I could figure something out." "I was joking but thanks. I'm good with just riding around with you." "She refuses a car and chauffeur? Such an odd one." "My oddities just keep up my mysteriousness." "Ha…ha…haaa."
During the rest of our ride we shared no more words. The air around us was filled with the roar of the engine and the rush of wind flowing through the car. About thirty minutes later we were slowing to a stop. "Alright Bellsy, you've arrived safe and sound and on time even." I leaned over to give him a peck on the cheek. "Much obliged. Now if you would pull up to the back door; I will get out of your way so you may continue your day." Mr. J put his hand around the back of my neck pulling me close. As soon as I was close enough to feel his breath on my face his lips were on mine. When we pulled apart there was a blissful smile on my face. "Mmm you can be in my way anytime gorgeous." "Remember you said that." We slowly drove around the building. After we came to a halt Mr. J got out to come help me out of the car. "Alrighty let's get you inside missy." I turned towards Mr. J when we got to the back door of the building. "Thanks for everything today Mr. J." "Sure thing Bellsy. Do you think you can handle yourself from here?" "I can, after all I do it quite often haha. On the other hand, do you think you can go a while without getting hurt? At least nothing worse than a paper cut." He put his hands on my shoulders; leaning in to rub his nose against mine in an eskimo kiss. "I guess can give the no bleeding a Shot hahahahaa." I rolled my eyes. "Hardy har har. I'm serious no more injuries." "Yes mam, I will do my very best, scout's honor." "I somehow doubt you were a scout." "Who knows? Maybe, maybe not, but who cares? You miss I have to be on time need to head in and earn some dough." I shrugged. "You're right. See ya later." I turned around to venture inside but heard a growl from behind me and found myself trapped against Mr. J's chest. "Well hello there." "Bellsy who taught you to give such unsatisfying goodbyes?" "You said so yourself I gotta be on time." "Not before you give ol J a proper goodbye." I smiled, and sealed our lips together, nipping his bottom lip. The sound that left him made me want to stay in my spot forever. 'Too bad I'm not rich; I wouldn't have to worry about ever being on time then.' I pulled away, instantly missing the feeling of his warmth. "I really have to go now Mr. J before my phone starts blowing up." "If you must." "I must." I smiled softly at the annoyed sounding sigh that met my ears. "Very well. Get your ass in there." "Yes Mr. J." He gave me another quick kiss before pushing me towards the door. "So good." "Night Mr. J." "Night Bellsy."
I could feel his eyes on me until the door shut behind me. 'I'm pathetic, all I wanna do is run right back out to Mr. J.'
Each step I took brought me further into my place of work. I knew this place like the back of my hand. I knew every twist and turn of the hallways, and the placement of tables and chairs. The chattering I heard got increasing louder as I neared the stairs leading down to the seating area. "Look who finally showed up!" "Hi Chris." I felt Chris take hold of my wrist before I could go down the stairs. "Hello, I thought you were gonna be late for sure." "You know I'm never late." "That was before Mr. J entered the picture." "Changes nothing." "Yea sure which is why you made it just in time for roll call." "Details, anywho let's grab a seat before boss lady yells at us."
We quickly found a couple of seats and prepared ourselves for our typical chat it. "Alright folks after all the work we've done in here over the last couple of weeks Mr. Carello feels as though we need to update our catalogue." The uproar of questions was immediate. "Calm down everyone! This is what Monday's are for, we know this." "Well what do you mean we're updating our catalogue? There's nothing wrong with the one we have Lisa." "Mr. Carello thinks we're falling behind on the times, that we need fresh music and more variety." "What kind of variety?" "A bit of everything I suppose." "Can we make requests or recommendations?" "They'd be appreciated." 'This is gonna be fun.'
Two hours later had my ass killing me, and all I wanted was a drink. "Alright folks we have our first lineup. I'll work on the order of the set list and will have it ready by Thursday for you all. Belladonna, you and the band will work on figuring out the keys and speeds of the songs tonight. If you all need anything I'll be in my office." I listened to the sound of Lisa walking away. Once she was out of my hearing range I turned to Chris and the others. "Okay you guys let's get started." "Come on let's take a break first Bell." "We've already been on our asses for long enough Sam. It's time to start the real work." "Fine."
By the time the clock neared one I was beat. "I say we call it quits Bells. As it is you sound like you're gonna turn into a damn donkey." I threw some wadded up paper in the direction of the band, instantly igniting laughter in them all. "Come on Bell we know you can throw better than that. You almost always nail one of us in the face." "Ha! Being gone for two week has killed her aim Andy." "Better watch it you two. I'll have my throwing arm back in no time." A chorus of "ooos" sounded all around followed by laughter. "Alright a-holes I'm stealing Chris and heading out." "Come on Bell stick around." "No thanks fellas. Chris?" "Chill out Bells. I'm almost done packing; we'll be out soon." A few minutes later we had our traditional group hug before all going our separate ways for the night.
I let Chris take me to the car and couldn't stop my eyelids from lowering when the car started up. "What's the matter Bells? Didn't get much sleep last night?" I scoffed and gave Chris a half-hearted punch to the shoulder. "Hey I'm driving here!" "Like you even felt that." "Hello grumpy Bells." "I got plenty of sleep, just sporadic. Not that it's any business of yours." "Sure it is. This was your first sleepover with Mr. J." "I don't really think this counts Chris." "What do you mean?" "We slept on the couch in his office." "Why?" "I passed out up their waiting, and he didn't get in till three something." "Ah, no wonder the crankiness." "There were good parts too don't get me wrong." "I'm sure there were, and I expect a full report tomorrow." My eyes widened in surprise. "Such leniency, why?" "One I'm just glad you were ok, you had me worried." "Sorry." "You're forgiven. Two we had a loooong first night back and lastly I can tell you're about to become a zombie." "Thanks for the understanding." "Course Bellsy. Your health comes before my nosiness, I'm great like that." "Indeed you are."
We made it home in what seemed to be record time. Chris and I took turns in the bathroom before we each headed our separate ways and went to bed.
The rest of the week went by quickly. While we enjoyed our typical days off we stayed busy with work. New songs always took up the majority of our time. As a result of our busy week I hadn't had much me time; let alone any chance at visiting Mr. J.
(Three days later.)
Thursday was a particularly vicious day. We headed in two hour early to get in a little extra practice. "I have confirmation that Lisa is in fact a dragon." I rolled my eyes and sat on a nearby stool and downed half a bottle of water. "What happened?" "Well I just happened to overhear her screeching at Sam. I swear smoke came out of her nose." "Zack, be serious." "I am! Sam's bass got a bit roughed up and it's getting repaired." "Crap, when's he getting it back?" "He should get it back tomorrow, so he just can't rehearse tonight." "That's not so bad, we've dealt with worse." "Not with a brand new set that contains no song we've done in public." I just sat back and listened to the guys bicker before speaking up. "Ok, ya know what? Maybe we should stop talking and keep practicing. There are plenty of bands that don't have a bassist, we'll be fine. Either Sam will be joining us or he won't, but no matter what we're gonna put on a great performance like we always do. Am I right?" "Yeah!" "Yes!" "Whoohoo!" "Yes mam!" "Great, now let's ignore the crazy dragon that lives in the cave upstairs and start jamming." A resounding yes pulled us together and we continued with our practice schedule.
By the time we were done getting everything ready for our "opening night" we were all completely exhausted. "Chris, I'm gonna need you to carry me to the car." "Fat chance missy. I'm having Sam carry me." I smiled the sweetest smile I could. "Sam, what are my chances of you carrying me to the car instead of Chris?" I heard the guys laugh. "Better than Chris', there aint no way I'm carrying his fat ass." I fist pumped the air. "Yes! You're the best." I laughed when I heard Chris' shout of indignation. "Hey!" "You refused to help me." "You can walk!" "So can you, and now you have to." All joking aside Sam helped me to the care while Chris carried our bags. Everyone slowly ambled to their own vehicles, and we all headed home for the night.
We were roughly halfway home when my phone started going off. "Who on earth?" I mumbled as I dug through my bag. "I bet I know who it is. A certain someone that you haven't paid any attention to for the past few days." "We've both been busy, so hush and help me with my phone please." I moved my hand out of Chris' way so he could get my phone for me. "Here ya go Bells." I snatched the phone from his hand and answered as fast as possible. "Hello?" I was met with silence, and I felt my heart sink to my stomach. 'I missed him.' "Bellsyyyyyyyy." My heart skipped a beat when I heard his voice. "Yes Mr. J?" "Ya know gorgeous, it's not very polite to keep someone waiting when they try ta call ya." "I'm sorry Mr. J. I couldn't find my phone." "Hmmmm well it's your lucky day Bellsy. I'm feeling generous… you're forgiven!" I smirked. "That is quite generous of you." "Only for you Bellsy. So, how goes your practice?" "Well we've been learning a complete new set of songs, and the dragon is driving everyone crazy as per usual." "Haha I wasn't aware there were such dangerous beasts in Gotham, let alone that you work with one." "It takes a special talent to work with them, they're quite loud and annoying." "I'm sure." "Mhm, so how's business Mr. J?" "Prosperous as ever, but the scenery has been lacking the past week." I laughed. "I can help you find a decorator." "Such a witty one aren't ya Bellsy, but I know exactly what I want to see decorating my office." "Oh? Anything I can help ya with?" "You'd be the perfect person to help me gorgeous." I could feel my face flush with the meaning of his words. "Well unfortunately it may be a while before that happens." "No." I heard Chris laugh next to me, and I elbowed him. "Shh… What do you mean no Mr. J? I have to work all weekend." "Nu uh Bellsy, Saturday you're coming to the club, and I'm not taking no for an answer." "I'm working." "Come after. I remember a little flower telling me Sunday is her short day of the week. You can stay here and I'll take ya in Sunday night." "You don't even have a bed!" "I'll have a hidden one installed tomorrow, just for you." "Mr. J!" "Nope Bellsy. You're gonna perform and make everyone fall in love with you Saturday, and then you'll come here and do the same to me." I sighed. "Hang on." I put my hand over the receiver and turned towards Chris. "Feel like having an extra-long Saturday night?" "Sure Bellsy, I don't have to get up until four on Sunday; It'll be fine." I nodded and put my phone back up to my ear. "Don't suppose you heard that Mr. J?" "Every word gorgeous, I look forward to it. I'll see ya tomorrow." "You're really coming?" "I told ya I would, and I wouldn't lie to ya. What time do you go on?" "Get there at six; I'll go on for the first song around six thirty." "Perfect, can't wait to see my vixen work her magic on everyone." I smiled at the growl in his voice. "You flatter me Mr. J." "Just speakin the truth. Now go get your beauty sleep gorgeous." "Night Mr. J." "Night Bellsy."
I tossed my phone into my bag once the call had ended. "Well, well, looks like we'll have a special guest tomorrow." I grinned. "Looks like." "Awwww if you could see your face! You look so stupidly happy it's almost embarrassing." "Shut it and get us home Geeves." Ten minutes later we were pulling up to our complex. "Time to hit the hay. I have a feeling tomorrow is gonna be a wee bit stressful." "Naw it's gonna be great." "All that positivity has to run out eventually Bells." "Perhaps, but not today." We made our way into our home and started our nightly routine.
(Friday 5:30pm)
"Alright people get your shit together! We've got thirty minutes of practice left. I want perfection people!" Listening to the dragon I rolled my eyes and made my way back to the microphone. "Ok guys, what do you say; one more run through?" "Sure." We did one final run of all our songs. Instruments were tuned and prepped, and we all headed backstage to get ourselves ready. 'Almost show time.'
I got dressed into my first outfit of the night, and waited for Chris to come help me with the rest. While waiting for Chris my phone went off two times signaling that I had text messages. I walked off to a quitter area backstage to listen. The first message was from Jason. "Hey sis, sorry to be missing out on your first show back. I promise to make it up to you, and I wanna hear all about the happenings of tonight. Break a leg, I know you'll be great. Love ya Bell." 'Such a good big brother.' The second message was from Mr. J. "I'm waitin for ya gorgeous, front and center. Knock 'em dead." My stomach fluttered. "Now is not the times for nerves."
I made my way back to my dressing area and Chris was already there. "There you are Bells! We gotta hurry up. Lisa's threatening to pull the curtain early." I plopped down in my seat and Chris set to work. He was applying the final touches when Lisa's voice rang out. "Five minutes till curtain; places every one. Night I need you front and center, now!" "Coming!" I stood up and straightened out my dress making sure everything was in place. Chris had given me a natural complexion with champagne colored glitter on my eyes, winged liner, and a deep purple lip. My hair fell around my shoulders in soft waves. Lastly my dress was ivory lace lined with white satin and had off the shoulder bell sleeves. It hung to my knees in the front and down to my ankles in the back. Gold chainmail earrings were my only accessory. "How do I look?" "Lovely as always." I leaned down and gave Chris a quick peck on the cheek. "Thanks, good luck out there." "You too Bells." We walked out of my dressing room and headed to our places. "Ok you guys here we go!" I stepped up to the microphone and readied myself. 'Ok Bell you can do this, you've done this hundreds of times. Can't let Mr. J down his first time here.' With one final deep breath I heard the curtains raise.
