MERCY
My heart was pounding in my chest as I changed into a black lace mini dress and leggings then pulled my boots on. I was still riding on the high from the stage as I made my way to where Peg sat in the sound booth watching Draven's set. "That was wonderful." Peg smiled at me as I sat beside her.
"Thanks." I blushed and met eyes with Nick. My blush burned my face as an evil grin took over his face as the song ended.
"So ..." Nick said into the mic, "what do you think of the show tonight?" The crowd roared. "How was Lovely Suicide?" The crowd got louder and whistles and hoots joined the screaming. "I'm glad to hear it." He laughed and started the next song.
I should have known he would do that but I was surprised none the less. I watched nervously waiting for this all to be over so we could go back to the hotel for the party. I hoped Donny would let me drink otherwise I would never be able to calm down enough to enjoy the party.
Before I knew it we were back in the suite at the hotel all of us and way too many people I had no idea who they were. Music pulsed in the air as I sat in the middle of the room next to Nick and Peg. I could smell the whiskey in Nick's glass and frowned again remembering how Donny had quickly said no when I tried to get a maimi vice. The whiskey smelled sweet and I wanted to know what it tasted like, Donny waled up and tugged Peg to her feet and headed for the impromptu dance floor. I touched Nick's arm and he leaned down so I could talk near his ear. "What's that taste like?" I asked and he smiled and handed me the glass as I expected. I sniffed at the glass and before Donny would notice I took a large gulp and almost choked. Nick took the glass back laughing.
"Don't like it?" He laughed and then downed the rest of the glass and pulled me to my feet along with him. I thought he was leading me to the dancefloor but instead we headed out of the suite across the hall to a closed door.
"Nick? Where we going?" I asked confused. He pulled a door key from his wallet and opening the door to what turned out to be another suite. I walked into the dark room and stopped as Nick turned on a light and pulled the door shut behind him. "This is nice" I smiled at him wandering the lovely sitting room.
"I thought two suites would be needed ... Donny is trashed I'm sure you don't want to listen to the song of the bedstead." Nick laughed as I grimaced.
" you got that right."
"So I'll take your room in that suite and you can have this one." He said leaning against the door.
" why? This room has two rooms." I argued.
" Donny has already intergated me. Don't need to make it worse." Nick said uneasily.
" he will have to get over it... We'll be sharing a bus as of tomorrow. " I said getting back to my feet, "now would you make me a drink?"
Nick's face was filled with surprise as I stormed next door to tell my brother and grab my bags. As expected Donny put up a token fight but it was quickly dismissed by Peg telling me to just go.
