Chapter 2
Like someone screamed 'GO!' Chris and I ran to my car, unlocked it and jumped in. I drove off right behind the van which was turning onto the streets of cologne.
'Can you believe it ?' I asked him still some kinda star trunk. 'Nope, what is it with you and the rock stars that you always have the luck to meet them?' 'I really don't know it's like destiny…..' We drove another 5 minutes in silence.
Arriving at the hotel I really found a free parking lot, WOAH how the day turned… We got out of the car and to our surprise Samu was standing at the entrance of the hotel looking around like he was searching for us. Walking up to him I took a last look at my car and then we went inside.
Of course the hotel had an own bar where we sat down and waited because Samu wanted to get the other guys. As he came back he was followed by three other guys. They walked up to us, looking pretty tired but smiling.
The first one greeting us was Sami the drummer, than Raul who plays the bass and at least there was Riku who plays the lead guitar (finish people have funny names right?).
'hey guys nice to meet you!' Chris said just a little too nervous, I was pretty nervous as well but I wouldn't let that show….. I should be used to that right? Never felt that nervous while talking to the guys of Good Charlotte or All Time Low. I had a strange feeling that evening but I couldn't know what else was waiting for me.
Anyway we chatted for a while about everything and nothing. Out of nowhere Samu ordered the waitress to our table. 'Can you get us some Smirnoff and a bottle of red wine please?' 'Sure, just wait a second.' The waitress said slightly blushing, she knew who they were, definitely.
'So it's true that finish people drink a lot.' I laughed 'Not only finish people, I've heard that German's are pretty experienced with that as well.' Sami said winking at me. I slightly blushed …..
When the alcohol arrived at our table Samu grabbed the bottle of red wine and purred some of it into two glasses, then handed me one.
Meanwhile the others were discussing whether to do one shot after another or taking the risk of losing a drinking game against Chris whom is half polish.
'Thanks Samu but I Can't rink much, I have to drive back home later.' 'Don't worry about that' he simply said. Meanwhile it seemed like Riku, Sami and Raul have decided to take the risk of losing, them and Chris were taking shot after shot like it was water.
After 15 shots they all were kinda drunk while I was nipping on my red wine. 'What do you like most about touring?' I ask the only person who seemed sober. 'It's just that experience that people enjoy the music you write. They can identify with our music and of course it's nice to meet people like you.' Samu winked at me, damn face stop that stupid blushing-thing!
It got later and later, we drank a lot and as I'm not used to drink anymore (There was a time when I could beat all my male friends) I was drunk, very drunk, I can't remember anything anymore of that evening.
