Blah...may just quit on this story. Can't think...
Chapter 7 Harlem
After Murdoc and I's little freak out we actually started to get along. He "apologized" to me saying "Look I know your all grown up now but I still see that little kid I used to sit with and teach bass to, so I guess err...I'm sorry for treating you like a baby"
He actually did have a lot to offer, especially when he told me he was going to let me play with the band at there up coming show at the Apollo in Harlem. I was definitely excited about that one but I'd never played in front a crowd that big. He still didn't want me and 2D seeing each other but we still had our secrete encounters every so ofter when ever we could get away from practice long enough to find time alone.
Murdoc kept us all locked away in the hotel room in New York practicing for the show tomorrow. I was starting to get very nervous about it, everyone else seemed so calm but they had been on stage so much it was a normal thing for them.
"Murdoc I seriously don't know if I can do this." I told him after the others left the room.
"Darlin I've taught you everything I know, your good, really good. Don't doubt yourself" He told me trying to act all fatherly.
I leaned back in my seat continuing to pluck at the bass while Murdoc worked on some old tracks on his laptop.
I woke the next morning feeling more nervous then the night before. I headed for the Lobby trying to find the restaurant where I could get some breakfast when I ran in to Noodle.
"Morning" she said walking up to greet me
"Hey" I replied as we walked towards the breakfast buffet set up in the restaurant
"Whats wrong with you?" She asked
"Nothin..." I told her "Just nervous about tonight"
"Don't be its actually really fun to be up in front of all those people cheering for you"
"I need something to wear!"
"Well lets go we will find something good. There are tons of shops I mean we are in New York!" she said looking up at the clock which now said 11 a.m.
We headed out on to the streets of New York going to a few different places before Noodle found me the perfect outfit, piecing together stuff from each store. We got back to the hotel just in time for us to have about an hour to get ready. Noodle put on my make up giving me bright red lips with black eye liner and a bit of black eye shadow. Noodle and I got dressed and headed down to the Lobby where the rest of the band was waiting. 2Ds face lit up with a huge smile when he saw what I was wearing.
"Ugh Noodle picked out most of it I said standing there in front of them while they all looked me over, Murdoc turning away looking down at the floor. I had on a black corset top with an open back where red ribbon tied it together, A pair of short black shorts red and black striped knee high stockings with a pair of red high top chucks.
"Lets go" Murdoc said waving his hand for us to follow him in to the street where a limo was waiting for us.
"Ready?" Murdoc asked as he grabbed his bass.
The curtain rose and the crowd went crazy. We were all standing behind screens so they could only see our silhouettes. Murdoc nodded to us as the visuals played on the screen above us. We started playing Last Living Souls. 2D sat at his key board playing and singing as I watched him from the other side of the stage. We played through the set list the crazy as we ended the show with Latin Simone.
"I could get used to this" I said to myself as we walked off stage.
