Meanwhile
I was sitting on the top stair watching the guys when she joined me.
"Getting good aren't they amiga." She asked.
"Yea, my ears don't bleed anymore."
"So watching all of them or just one of them?"
"Shut up Lane."
"You know he has the hots for you."
I could sense her smirk. She thinks she knows who has my undivided attention, but she's wrong. Maybe if I had never laid eyes on Nick, or heard his story, maybe, just maybe I could see myself falling for Trent. There's nothing wrong with Trent, he's a good-looking guy in his own rights. We could be friends, good friends, but I don't see myself with him, like I do Nick.
"Sure Jane, and Jesse has an IQ higher than mine."
"You never know. He does check you out though." Jane glanced at me out of the corner of her eyes to see if I was blushing.
I did, just enough to fool her, maybe I'll be able to tell her soon, it all depends on Nick. He wants us to stay a hidden couple alittle while longer. The acutal layout of the band worked for us both. Jesse was on the left, Trent was on the right. Nick was behind Trent, and Max was behind Jesse. We could look at each other without anyone knowing. If they caught me staring they would assume that I as staring at Trent, and Nick was just staring at the crowds. The only thing that Nick hated was that everyone thought that I had it bad for Trent, but he wanted to keep it under wraps.
I smiled as I watched him play, his fingers flying over the strings, pulling sound out of nothing. His eyes closed in consintration. A part of me knew that if he could see me or if he knew that I was even here, that he would be behind the rest of the guys, re-enforcing the idea that he couldn't keep a beat if his life depended on it. Only he and I know that it is because he can't keeps his eyes and thoughts off of me.
He told me that he isn't used to having girls show intrest in him. The last one who did took the two most important things in his life at the time, his heart and his son. hen I heard that my heart went out to him. That was the night that he and Max destroyed $1,000 dollars worth of club property. That was also that night that he told me about his abuse of drugs and alcohol. When he would sink into his depressions he would binge on the closest thing, the night before it was Herione, and the high was wearing off when Max started fighting with him over something. That night I learned alot about him, including that he liked me. He didn't come out and say it, but when we were leaving the club to tell Max about the Anger Mangement course when he grabbed my hand and smiled.
At the last gig, which was a month ago at the Zon, he told me that it threw him for a loop when I started talking to him, even though I knew about his problems. He said that most girls stopped talking to him after they found out, even more so when they found out that he had a son. Then he threw me for a loop by asking me out. If we are still doing good in a month, then we'll tell the band. It's killing me, not being able to tell Jane, but she might let it slip to one of the guys and then a fight would be on, atleast he thinks so, I don't see it, but I'll go along with him, for now.
I was staring at him when I remembered a conversation we had one night while I was laying in his arms.
"How, and when did you get a nipple ring?" I asked, running my fingertips over it, loving the way he shuddered.
"Hmmm, if you'd stop for a minute I tell you." He smiled at me and continued when my hand dropped. "I went with Trent when he got his last Ear piercing, I was high on Herione and told Axl that I wanted a piercing where no one would be able to see it. The next day I woke up in pain, I looked in the mirror and there it was. You're the only person outside the band that knows about it."
"Ok, so how did you come across the band?" I moved so that I was leaning on my elbow looking down at him.
"Trent and Jesse, they well, they just kinda picked me up on the side of the road. They took me in and helped my through my addiction at the time, which was dope. I started hanging around with them and then one day we decided to start up a band."
He reached up at this point and kissed me, cutting me off from asking more questions. We spent a lovely evening together that night. Just the thought of it brought a blush to my face. I looked over at Jane and watched as she drooled over Jesse, or maybe it was Max. Maybe she was using him the same way I as using Trent, as decoy.
Suddenly it was quiet. Jane and I looked at each other and bailed, heading for the livingroom. We had just sat down on the couch and turned on the T.V. when the guys walked in from the kitchen.
"What's this Janey? No Sick Sad World?" Trent asked when he noticed that we were watching the news channel. He sat down, alittle too close to me and smiled at my discomfort, which he probably thought was attraction, who knew what Jane was telling him.
I looked over at Nick who was sitting in an over stuffed chair by the door. He was scowling at Trent, his face as dark as a thunder cloud. After making sure that no one was watching I winked and smiled at him. He smiled back and then mimed looking at his watch. I smiled at his anxiousness as I looked down at my watch.
"Dammit, I was supposed to be home a while ago." I got up off the couch, said my goodbyes and walked out the door.
I walked down the driveway and waited behind the Tank. I had been there five minutes when Nick walked up behind me and pulled me into his arms. I turned around and laughed when he kissed my nose.
"I can't stay long, Trent wants to start practice up again. I'm out here "looking" for a pick." He kissed me again and gave me a squeeze. "Are we still on for tonight?" The anxious look in his eyes made me laugh.
"Yup." I squeezed back and worked my way out of his grasp. I gave him one last kiss and after making sure that no one was looking out the window, I started walking home. I smiled as I thought this evening the good time that it was sure to hold, I also thought about asking Nick if we could atleast tell the band. I was tired of everyone thinking I was hot after Trent. I sighed and walked on, still smiling about my secret, and waiting to share it with the world.
