Gabi's POV
Heavy. That was the first thought I had whenever I slipped back into reality from dreamland. I can't remember what the dream was about, I hardly ever do. My eyes were fighting against me to open as the silence was starting to fade and I could distinguish some sounds. The first was some music playing in another room, I guess someone else was awake in the house. I wonder what time it is. The second noise was the sound of light snores and small, sharp breaths. That's funny, I don't remember sharing a bed with anyone. Blaire must have gotten uncomfortable on the couch and came in here to join me. Which is hilarious to me because I didn't think I would be able to detach her from Mickie's ass long enough. It's cute, they are pretty cute together. I have a mild headache but I know that I am going to make some of my hangover remedy for my best friend. "B, can you get off me please? I'll make you some tea-" My eyes finally opened as I looked down at my company in bed until I was met with strands of dark, brown hair. This wasn't Blaire, who is.. No, I came in here by myself. I wasn't drunk enough to forget things. "Get off.. Why are you in my bed?" My hand was quick to push the woman off of me and upon doing so, I realized exactly who was here.
"Cállate, estoy tratando de dormir aquí. (Shut up, I am trying to sleep here.)" The Latina mumbled in Spanish, I am not sure what she said but I know that first word meant shut up. Rude. This whole situation has given me an awkward feeling now knowing that it was Sarita cuddled up to me. I don't know how or when this happened. We are both still in our bikinis from yesterday, her hair was a mess like she put a fork in an outlet. That's whenever I realized that her chest was no longer covered with her top. Well that's another pair of breasts that I didn't need to see.
I shook my head looking away from the Latina that was still laying down, "Sarita, when did you join me last night?" I decided to ask, trying to get some sort of answer, fixing my own bikini top. Where did I even bother to set my clothes from yesterday, are they still outside?
"Porque? You were already sound asleep, the chair was hurting my back so I came in here. I didn't think you would be so timid about it, Farm girl."
"I wouldn't be so timid if your girls weren't out and about! Can you put them away or something?" I say, my cheeks feeling red, feeling suddenly shy.
Sarita mumbled something incomprehensible before turning around and ripping her bikini top off. "Free the nipple!" She said half asleep, throwing her top at my head. The red bikini top slapped me in the face before falling to the ground. Before I could say anything in reply, the latina had fallen back to sleep, her gentle snores filling the silence.
"Great, I'm surrounded by crazies." I mumble under my breath, exasperated. I should probably go grab her a shirt. I can't leave her shirtless in a house full of horny fucks. Plus I should get mine as well. My bare arms were cold against the morning air. Opening the door to the room, I started heading out to the pool area. Passing the living room. I saw Blaire was still asleep on the couch, she had turned over on her stomach and was drooling over the couch pillows. I shook my head, not surprised at all by my best friend's shenanigans. But where's Mickie? Wasn't she sleeping with Blaire last night?
The noise of the patio door attracted my attention toward the backyard and it seems that my question can be answered now. Walking in the door was none other than Mickie herself being accompanied by her small dog, Miss Pixie. The brunette had her hair lazily put up in a ponytail, a simple tanktop and jean shorts on. She noticed me looking her way and instantly gave me a warm smile. "Oh good morning Gabi, how did you sleep?"
I smiled back to her as her little companion decided to prance her way over toward me. Pixie wagged her tail excitedly as I crouched down to give her a couple pets. I have always loved animals, they seem to gravitate toward me. "I slept pretty good, how about you?"
"Great actually, we seem to be the first ones awake. I've been awake for a while. Pixie needed to go on her morning walk and I went to the barn and tended to the horses." I didn't imagine her to be the one to be an early riser with how much all the girls drank; I was expecting to see her still crashed on the couch with Blaire.
"What other kinds of animals do you have?" That's right, I did see the barn whenever we went to the back yard yesterday.
"For now I only have three Morgan horses, one day I am hoping to purchase more land and expand the barn. I have a feeling that you would love them." She gave me another smile, her eyes looking over toward the sleeping blonde for a moment.
"Morgans are great. My parents own a couple of them. I personally own a Tobiano Paint Horse myself." Thinking about my Nyx made me grin widely, she is my very first horse that I bought myself. I got her whenever I was sixteen whenever she was just a foal. From the first second I laid my eyes on her, our bond has been inseparable.
"Paint Horses are beautiful, I heard that they are very easy to train." They are perfect for beginners to learn to ride as well.
"They are, and they hardly have any temperament problems and get along great with all kinds of animals."
"You will have to show me sometime." If I recall, I might have some photos of her on my phone. I will have to remember to show her later. "I am going to go get a shower before all the sleepy heads decide to wake up. If you are hungry or thirsty, don't be shy and help yourself to whatever is in the kitchen."
"It's appreciated, I was wanting to make some tea for Blaire. Where would you have the ingredients for that?" If I don't make this remedy for her, B is going to whiny and grumpy all day. I don't want to listen to her complain although with Mickie here, she might bite her lip and behave.
The brunette pointed toward the cabinets. "Top right cabinet. Pots are underneath the sink. Help yourself and I will see you in a bit."
"Okay thanks again." The sounds of her footsteps grew quieter and a door opened and clicked shut while I started my search through the cabinets. I took a minute to look at everything in the cabinet, Mickie really does have everything I need and then some right here. I didn't know she liked to drink tea. Makes it easier for me, I could make some for everyone.
Finally gathering all the ingredients I needed, I started dropping them into the water to steep. With a spoon I swirled it around in the pot, calling in energies of cleansing and revitalization. Stirring the ingredients clockwise, I poured in some magical energy, allowing for the magic to pull all the magical properties of the ingredients together to create the hangover remedy. As the aroma wafted through the air, I took off the boiling pot, the remedy finished. Grabbing another pot and strainer, I poured the boiling hot tea, taking out all the loose herbs. Now I just gotta taste test to see if it came out right! Pouring some tea into a tea cup, I took a sip, tasting to check if everything went well. I sighed, feeling the cleansing properties of the tea do its magic. It was delicious and just what I needed. The chamomile blend tasted refreshing, giving me a boost of energy and also cleansing my body from all the crazy and chaotic energy that was yesterday. Blaire would definitely need a cup of this.
"That smells absolutely delectable." A familiar sultry voice said from behind. My heart pounded in my chest as I turned around in surprise, almost running into a tall form behind me. My face was inches away from the mystery woman, feeling her breath on mine. My eyes widened in shock as I stumbled backwards to give myself some space. Finally registering who it was, I realized it was Katarina who was now standing in front of me. Seeing my reaction, she chuckled, her lips curling into an amused smile.
"Oh, I didn't realize anyone else was in the kitchen. I thought everyone else was still asleep." I said, blushing from my reaction.
"I didn't mean to startle you, love. I could smell this enchanting aroma from Mickie's room and was curious as to what it was. Did you make this tea?" The raven haired woman asked, moving beside me, inspecting the ingredient next to the pot.
"Yeah, whenever Blaire gets drunk, I like to make her my hangover remedy. I made some for everybody too. Would you like to have some?"
"I would be delighted." She said with a gentle smile. Grabbing the pot, I poured out a cup of tea for Kat before refilling mine. "Thank you, love." The raven haired woman said while taking the cup. Bringing the cup up to her mouth, she inhaled, smelling the tea, before finally taking a sip. I watched carefully, curious to her reaction. I don't normally share my family's secret recipe with others. I normally keep my magic hidden reserved just for me and Blaire, who surprisingly hasn't blabbed to everyone that my family were descendents of witches. I could be mistaken but I could have sworn that those blue eyes widened after tasting the tea. It was for like a nanosecond before she returned to her usual mysterious demeanor. "Hmm, how refreshing. I believe my hypothesis about you is correct."
I stared back at Katarina, confused as to what she was talking about. "Hypothesis? What about?" I asked, hoping for some clarification.
"About you… It seems that you indeed are a woman of many mysteries. Yet I think I seem to understand you a bit more." She replied, her blue eyes felt as if they looked right through me. My heart thundered as her response. What does she mean? She can't possibly have figured me out as a witch. Most people don't even know that witches truly exist. And yet Katarina didn't strike me to be like most other people. My stomach churned at the thought of being found out. It's dangerous for a witch's identity to be found out. But maybe I am just thinking too much into this. She didn't say it out right after all. "Gabrielle, I must say.. You truly are-"
"Good morning ladies!" A voice shouted loudly which immediately stopped the taller woman from speaking. Wait! I wanted to know what Katarina was going to say. I recognized the voice as the woman walked in between us in the kitchen. "Glad to see you both getting along great. Hope you slept well Gabi, I know that I did." Victoria gave me a big smile as her attention drifted over toward the pot. "Oooh, Kat, what did you make us this morning? I could use some to get rid of this throbbing pain in my head."
"Vic, I simply can't take credit for this marvelous tea. Gabrielle made it."
"It's a family hangover remedy. I made enough for everyone so help yourself as much as you want." I will need to make sure to save enough for Blaire; I know that Sarita will definitely need some of this whenever she decides to wake up. I poured another cup of tea out for Victoria, who gave a content hum whenever she took it.
"This tastes different from what I am use too but it's really good! If you don't mind me asking, what's in it that makes it taste so wonderful."
"Oh! It's made with ginseng, rose, ginger, rosemary, and chamomile."
Victoria's smile turned into a more neutral face as she looked down at the tea. "I see, don't let Daisy have any. She's highly allergic to chamomile." My eyes widened before nodding. Ok, noted, if I had known about that sooner, I could have used a different recipe. How would I have known though, we just met a couple days ago. I am glad that Victoria asked me that question or that could have been disastrous. Looking around for the redhead we were talking about, I saw she wasn't around yet. I'll have to make sure and remember not to let her drink any of the tea. Cleaning up the kitchen area, I put away all the stuff I used for the tea. Next to me, the raven haired woman and Katarina were engaging in small talk for a bit. It wasn't much longer before Daisy had decided to join us in the kitchen and joined in on the conversation. She didn't seem to be as awake or cheery as her other half but still tried to stay involved while we all talked. They all made sure that I was also included and wanted my thoughts on all topics that were discussed. The singer was the next one to join us which meant that the only ones that were still sleeping were Sarita and my best friend. Speaking of B, I should probably go wake her up and give her some of this tea.
Taking a quick breath, I excused myself from the conversation before making my way over toward the couch. Blaire hadn't stirred in the slightest since I last looked over at her. I am surprised she didn't awake upon her 'Goddess' entering the room again. Speaking of the singer, I looked around to see where she was. She was currently locked in conversation with the group in the kitchen. The brunette wasn't as slick as she thought with her gazes, I noticed her glance this way a few times while we were talking earlier. It's adorable, maybe I should have waited to see if Mickie would wake her up. Blaire might combust on the spot. Bracing myself to wake B up, I prepared myself for any reaction she would have to being woken up. She has a tendency of either jumping up wide awake and or slapping you away, which surprisingly hurts considering she's half asleep. "B..wake up, everyone else is awake." I spoke, placing my hand on the small of the shorter blonde's back and giving her a shake. The snores didn't cease, I fought the urge to roll my eyes. Why is she such a heavy sleeper? "Blaire, come on. I made you your favorite tea, wake up." My voice got slightly louder as I shook her a little harder. It's only after ten o' clock, still relatively early but I think I heard the others talking about heading back to the festival today and I wouldn't want her to miss out. The festival goes on today and tomorrow, after that, we will be going back home. I want to make sure that everything is fantastic, Blaire seriously has a chance with the woman of her dreams and she's snoozing away valuable time.
From the corner of my eyes, I noticed someone else approaching from the kitchen area. It was Daisy, who looked over at the sleeping blonde almost emotionlessly. She pointed over toward Blaire. "She sleeps like a log, doesn't she?" She deduced from the obvious reasoning. Sighing, I couldn't help but nod my head at her question. The redhead clicked her lips together before it formed into a slight smile. There was a glint in her eyes that I wasn't sure I liked. "Back up, I got this." She said as her hand patted my shoulder to move aside. Taking a few steps, she went around the other side of the sofa. What exactly is Daisy planning to do? I'd rather not get in her way, so I took her advice and took a few steps back from the couch. Once I was far enough away, the redhead let out a chuckle and took a few more steps until she was behind the sofa. I cocked my head, looking at her with a confused expression. What in the world is she doing? Bending her knees and she grabbed the bottom of the sofa, with a quick yank up, she lifted one side of the couch off the ground. She is as strong as she looks. I watched as B's weight shifted, her body rolling to the side and onto the hard floor. I winced, as she plopped onto the hard floor. Ouch.. Not going to lie, I thought about doing that as well, but I would feel bad about throwing her onto the floor. Although, considering how she woke me up to screaming the other day, it would probably be deserved. A sharp gasp exhaled out of the smaller blonde but she didn't really stir, instead she let out a groan. I chuckle at that despite the small twinge of guilt. How is she still asleep?
"Babe, that wasn't very nice.." Victoria scolded the security guard, fighting back a small chuckle of her own. The redhead shrugged her shoulders and in return, the raven haired woman gave her a smack on the shoulder.
Watching from the kitchen, Mickie didn't seem surprised at the antics of her bodyguard, instead she released a long sigh. Walking past the others, she headed over toward the crumpled cowgirl on the floor. Mickies eyes narrowed at the taller redhead before she gave a punch to the woman's chest. "Stop being an asshole." The redhead let out a small hiss as her hand stayed against her chest. It didn't seem to faze her much but the punch looked more playful in nature. The singer crouched down to get closer to the blonde. "Darling, Gabi made you some tea. You might wanna wake up before it gets too cold." Her voice soothed so softly, her hand lightly touched the top of B's blonde locks.
It was after that exact moment that the cowgirl started to stir, her body shifted enough to roll over to face us. "S..Sugar Plum, good morning." Blaire's tone was more husky in nature, bringing her hands up to her face as she rubbed her eyes. Mickie's lips parted to speak but remained silent, her eyes focused on the blonde. The hue on her cheeks told a different story, she was definitely flustered about something. I took one look over at Blaire and that's whenever I realized.
The others hadn't noticed yet and I wasn't going to bring attention that could embarrass her. I crouched down in front of my best friend and Mickie. I leaned over to whisper in her ear. "B.. Fix your top, your girls are out.."
"Oh em gee! Thanks Gabi! Didn't need the others to see my-" The mug in my hand caught her eye as Blaire almost shouted something about her tits. I am quite surprised that she isn't freaking out that Mickie was literally staring at them. I'd imagine it will hit her sooner or later. The blonde made little grabby hands at me so I obliged and handed her the tea. "OH you made your tea! Darling, you have to try this, Gabi makes the bestest tea."
"Yes I had some, but here let me help you fix your top. It is kind of my fault it's messed up like this in the first place." Yeah, that's my cue to walk away so these two can have some time together. I don't want to be third wheeling whatever is going on here. My curiosity has been lingering on whatever Katarina was going to say to me before Victoria interrupted her. It seemed to be something secretive, the European woman ceased that thought right then and there. I got off of the living room floor and started making my way over toward the kitchen, that was until the sound of a door clicking open caught my attention.
It was the door to the bedroom I was sleeping in so that means, "Eyy, what's going on in here chicas? Am I missing the party?" Sarita half-shouted entering the living room with new found energy. Although I am unsure how she managed to be so cheerful after being so grouchy not long ago. There was just one thing that was bothering me, all eyes were on Sarita and not for reasons that needed to exist.
I turned my head away from the Latina and spoke, "Don't you own a shirt, Sarita? Why must your tits always be out?" Those thoughts were probably better left in my head but instead they left my lips. My hand right gestured to her bare chest while distracting myself with a sip of tea.
Sarita cocked her head slightly to the side, baffled at what I had just said to her. "Qué? Have you ever seen a pair of tits before, farm girl? I mean, you got center stage for a view at Mickers. If you would have participated in strip poker. You would have gotten a gander at some nice titties." The Latina said with a smirk, reminding me about the pool incident in the process. That reminds me, where is Christy and Brooke anyways? There are no other rooms so they must have gone home somehow last night. I am sure they are here since Tryhard hasn't run into the room, a drenched mess, at the mention of naked chests. She inched herself closer and slung her arm around my shoulder. "It's not like this is the first time you've seen mine. After all, we were roommates last night." She said with purr, giving me a little wink in the process. Wait.. Why would you say that! It's not like I knew about you entering the bedroom while I was sleeping. Yes, we shared a bed but why are you wording it so suggestively like that? I noticed that all eyes were glued on me, Blaire parted her lips like she wanted to speak but instead that curled into a smirk. The blonde wiggled her eyebrows at me as I rolled my eyes. Mickie was no longer at her side, I have no clue where she went but now, I am never going to hear the end of this.
"Oh? I wasn't aware you guys shared a room last night." Katarina was the first to speak up at Sarita's declaration, which caused my face to feel hotter for some reason. Why does this bother me so much? Nothing happened and I shouldn't care what the others think because I know the truth. The raven haired woman arched her brow at me before taking a sip of the tea I had prepared. This is bothersome.
"I knew you guys clicked straight away." It was Daisy that spoke with a smirk of her own as she grabbed a water bottle from the fridge. Great, now others are chiming in their thoughts. The redhead made herself comfortable leaning against the kitchen counter. She opened the bottle and took a quick sip, "Hey babe, you owe me twenty dollars."
What does that even mean? What does money have to do with this accusation of Sarita and I? "Fuck!" Victoria cursed, the raven haired woman walked over to her purse that was sitting on the counter. "You are lucky that I love you, stupid." She groaned, slapping a twenty dollar bill in her girlfriend's hand.
"It's not like that! Sarita hopped into bed with me! I just found her there this morning!" I said, trying to justify why the Latina so happened to be in the same room as me. This situation needs to be defused.
"Oh, how scandalous!" Mickie's manager said with excitement, "I want all the tea about how this romance came to be. Give me all the deets."
"Wait, it's not-"
"Gabi and Sarita sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G." My best friend decided to sing out and got some of the others to laugh at her childish antics.
"I swear it was not like that at all!"
"Come on chica. Just admit you had a good time." Sarita decided to add her two cents back into this conversation that is spiraling into chaos.
"What are you guys talking about?" A calmer voice welcomed herself back into the room as Mickie looked between all of us. Giving an extra second or two to look at Sarita, arching her brow and shaking her head. This doesn't seem to surprise her that much. The singer made her way back over toward Blaire, who was now on the sofa, with something in her hand.
"Gabi and Sarita fucked!" My best friend exclaimed over to her drooling obsession so matter of factly, that it made me dizzy for a second. My head spun at the accusations. Sure they were all probably just messing with me, yet I couldn't wrap my head around it all. Another person passed by me and went over to the sofa. It was Daisy, clearing her throat to get Mickie's attention. She held her hand out and gestured to Sarita and I.
"Damn it, I had money on her and Kat hooking up." The brunette sighed, digging in her pockets and placing money into Daisy's hand. Wait a second, did these girls make a bet at who I would sleep with? Unbelievable. Also excuse me, what? Why would I be hooking up with Katarina? What if I have no interest in hooking up with anyone? Geez, these people are crazy and sex driven.
"Such trivial bets can be amusing at times, but perhaps let's not bet on our friend's matters. All is not what it seems, and you shouldn't be jumping to accusations, loves. Plus you all suck at gambling anyway, I would know." Katarina nonchalantly, coming to my defense which brought me back down to level. Finally a voice of reason, she's probably the only one in the house. The mysterious woman took a sip of her tea and decided to venture toward the patio door.
"Cálmense señoras (Calm down ladies.). I was just fucking around. Nothing happened. I was just giving Gabrielle some hell because it's cute to see her all flustered like that." Sarita said with a chuckle as my eyes glared straight through her. I watched Mickie and Victoria both hold their hands out to Daisy, who groaned and admitted defeat, giving them back their money.
"Oh I am surprised you know my name. Now please, get dressed." I can't believe she actually remembered my name, that's the first time the Latina had actually said my name. I assumed that since she drank her weight in alcohol that it went in one ear and out the other.
"Fine, fine, only because you said please and I like whenever the ladies beg." The Latina once again decided to give me another wink afterwards she left my side to hopefully cloth herself. Speaking of which, I need to figure out where my clothes are.
"So ladies, what's the game plan for today?" It was Victoria that thankfully decided to change the subject. A sharp breath left me as relief washed over me, I can forget about all that stupidity.
"Well I was thinking that we could enjoy the festival for today, I'd love to listen to some of the sets play and be in the audience this time." The singer said with excitement, looking over toward Blaire, she gave the blonde a smile. "You ladies still have a couple days before you have to go back home, yeah? Best we enjoy the festival some more."
"Good idea, Darling!" Literally B doesn't care what we do now, she doesn't care about this festival at all. The reason we went to that festival is sitting right beside her. It would be fun to go back and listen to more performances. "We should hit up that bar again and dance some more. Our last dance got interrupted rudely by someone." She let out a playful scoff, her attention focusing more or less on the security guard. Daisy parted her lips to speak but was interrupted by a phone ringing. She pulled it out of her pocket and stepped to the side to take the call. Can she not try to antagonize the tall bodyguard?
"Did someone mention a bar? Count me in, I'm always down to party, putas." Sarita made her presence known again, finally wearing the clothes that she arrived in yesterday. "I was suppose to chill with Hernadez and Anarquia today but this sounds more fun." I am assuming those are her friends, maybe her brothers but it wouldn't be that bad having more friendly company. Plus while all the horny fucks are sneaking away to make out, I can hang with Sarita and Katarina and get more acquainted with them.
"I am not babysitting you, Sarita. Try to keep your head on this time." I teased the Latina, who will probably be the drunkest out of all of us. I already know that I will have to keep B from being a drunk idiot.
I felt a finger pressed underneath my chin as the Latina turned my head to make sure my attention was solely on her. "Don't worry Gabrielle, I'll stay real close." That seductive tone was emphasized with a purr, the brunette took a couple steps closer, her face inches away from mine. She clicked her lips together. "So close that you could almost taste me and maybe if you stop being a smart ass, I will let you."
If I am going to get drunk, it's definitely not going to be because of you shoving your tongue down my throat. Not interested. I brought my hand up to her face and put some distance between the both of us. Why must she be so annoying and flirty? Sarita is doing this for my reactions. "No thanks-"
"You're fucking kidding me! There's no way!" A loud voice echoed throughout the house with a scream that snapped everyone out of whatever they were doing. That voice belonged to Daisy, who sounded almost horrified about something. What in the world is going on?
"Babe, what's wrong?" Victoria rushed out of the living room to wherever the security guard was on the phone. What a protective girlfriend, they are pretty cute together. The redhead started to slowly come into view, walking slowly into the living room with us. Her face seemed to be filled with pure shock. "You look like you saw a ghost. Who are you on the phone with?" The raven haired woman rubbed her girlfriend's shoulders as she tried to figure out what was going on. This is the first time I have seen her without an amused, or serious expression. Whatever is happening is really messing with her.
"Chrissy.." She pointed to the cell phone.
"Tell Christy I say hey!" Blaire shouted.
"... Christina Lee, please tell me this is some kind of joke." The redhead spoke in a low tone, she stopped to listen to what her cousin was saying. She nodded her head slowly, unsure how to process the information. "No, it's not.. Wow.. umm.."
"Daiz, what's wrong?" Mickie got up from her seat beside my best friend and started making her way over toward her roommates. She seems concerned about what's happening as well. I am so clueless.
"Um, Christy proposed to Brooke last night."
The amount of laughter that erupted from Victoria and Mickie was enough to get a chuckle out of me. Blaire thought it was hilarious despite only knowing Christy for a couple days. This is certainly not what I expected the situation to turn into. "Oh wow, I thought it was serious, good joke though Daiz." Mickie said between shaky breaths, wiping a forming tear away from her eye. Daisy however stayed very static with her facial expression as she looked over at the brunette. "Oh my fuck, you aren't joking.." Victoria stared at her girlfriend with her mouth wide open, her jaw almost dropping to the floor. I was honestly expecting some sad news, more or less not something worth celebrating.
"QUUUÈÈÈÈÈÈ?!" It seems Windows Vista has finally decided to boot up and Sarita realized what was going on. That was right in my ear, thanks asshole.
"Send the engaged couple my congratulations, it's very unexpected but a welcomed change for Christy to settle down." Katarina half-shouted from the patio door, she seemed more interested in gazing out the window than the chaos happening inside. Can't say I blame her. I wonder what she is thinking about.
"Hell yeah, we need to have a party to celebrate!" Mickie exclaimed, doing a complete one-eighty from about a minute ago.
"Oh, babe, tell her that she needs to hit up Maria to plan the wedding." The raven haired woman clapped her hands together with excitement. Right Maria is the only other one that isn't present right now, she must have had her husband pick her up late last night. "Ria is going to flip shit."
"Oh! I love weddings!" My best friend added herself back into the conversation.
"Yeah. I never thought I would see the day that our Tryhard would settle down with a lady." The security guard cooed to her cousin on the phone. She stayed silent for a couple seconds, her lips temporarily turning into a scowl. She laughed, "Ha ha, go fuck yourself, that was a low blow. I love you too Cuz, see you later." Daisy hung up the phone, placing it back in her pocket.
"You didn't tell Christy what I said.. Meanie." Blaire spoke with a huff, folding her arms across her chest in a childish manner.
The redhead clicked her lips together and rolled her eyes, she immediately turned to face Mickie. "Ignoring her, what were y'all talking about?"
"The others were conversing about going back to the music festival." The European woman chimed in, heading over toward the kitchen with her cup of tea.
"Aren't you going to join us, KitKat?" The singer asked her friend with that cute nickname. My eyes looked towards the raven haired woman, curious to her answer. With Blaire and Mickie probably wandering off on their own, it would be nice to have a friend around, and while I'm getting to know the group a little better, for some reason I really clicked with Katarina the most. The German woman smiled politely before answering.
"The invitation is mighty tempting but sadly work is going to claim me today, I have to go in soon." I couldn't help but feel a little sad upon hearing her answer. I am very intrigued by this mysterious woman and what she wanted to say to me. Katarina's job must be very tiresome and I haven't the slightest clue what it could be. The subject never came up last night nor this morning. She seems to be busy a lot.
"We will be sure to take some videos and show you. Alright ladies, let's get ready to head out."
Mickie's POV
It didn't take us long to get ready for the festival, maybe an hour at most. Katarina stayed behind at the house since she had to get ready for work soon. I wish that she would have been able to join us for some fun as well. Beggars can't be choosers and I am happy that she surprised us yesterday. With Sarita joining us for the ride, we had a bit of a small problem. There were six people and only five seats available. The logical option would be to take two vehicles however that's a waste of gas.. Instead we decided that someone was going to take a seat on another's lap. Daisy immediately took the keys to her car and declared she was driving. Victoria childishly had claimed shotgun, and the redhead wouldn't want her to have anyone else but her on Vic's lap. Sarita offered to give Gabi a seat which the blonde had declined numerous times. It was a funny sight. In the end, I decided to sit on the lap of the petite Blonde that had me questioning things. I mean, we already cuddled up together last night. Now if the others weren't in the car with me, I'd think about teasing her a bit. We arrived where the performers park, in a special VIP section at the back of the festival. It's way less crowded back here and I don't have to worry about my disguise just yet. "Hey Darling, my legs are asleep, I don't think I can get up. Can you help me?" The cute petite blonde asked with a whine, her dazzling blue eyes stared up at me from inside the car. The way her eyes looked at me like a puppy dogs made me melt. It was understandable, we were in the car for about thirty minutes and it's not the comfy ride in the world.
"Of course Sugar Plum, let me help you up." I said, extending my hand out to her which she quickly grabbed onto. With all my strength, I managed to pull the blonde out of the car; she stumbled a couple steps before flashing a beautiful smile my way. There was something about the petite blonde that melted any barriers I usually had. Blaire was a cute and darling girl. There was something about her demeanor that always felt like she was being her true self and while she seemed goofy and naive, she also felt like a ray of sunshine, which makes me feel I can let my guard down. It shouldn't be this way but here I am, smiling back at a woman I barely know but yet, it feels like I have known her way longer.
"Couldn't handle a simple rodeo, Mamasita? That's a real shame." It was Sarita that spoke over toward Blaire in a teasing tone. Whenever I think of a rodeo, this wasn't exactly the first thing that comes to mind. "Hey Farm Girl, wanna show her how it's done on the way back?" Sarita asked, teasing Gabi, who looked at the Latina with a dead panned expression.
"No. I'd prefer not, you wouldn't keep your hands to yourself. Perv." Gabi retorted, her arms crossing in front of her to hide the fact that she was flustered. Which she didn't do a good job with considering we can all see how Sarita's toying always seemed to make her blush. I couldn't help but smile. I didn't get a chance to get to know Gabi that well, but she seemed like a sweet girl and it seemed like people tend to gravitate towards her for some reason. Sarita always liked to flirt and toy with people, but Katarina, who was always in her own little world and observed others, seemed to really find Gabi interesting. I have to make it a point to get to know her a little better.
"Don't hate the player, hate the game. I don't think you would be complaining afterwards though." The brown eyed blonde rolled her eyes at Sarita, exasperated over the Latina's endless teasing. I couldn't help but chuckle at the interaction.
"Not in my car, okay thanks." It was Daisy that spoke in a monotone voice, her eyes narrowed over at the pair that were bickering.
"Why not? You and I've had a couple of rodeos together there too." My manager chimed in, giving Daisy a seductive look. Ugh, gross. While I love those two and they are some of my bestest friends, I could do without all the imagery of them doing each other. I hear enough of it as is..
"I love rodeos! I didn't think that you guys were farm girls too. Look Gabi, they're just like us!" Blaire piped up, her eyes twinkling with excitement. I chuckled at her excitement about the idea of rodeos. Oh dear. Thank goodness the small cowgirl was ridiculously cute and charming because she can be so innocent and naive sometimes. Although, it is really cute that she can be so clueless. It made me feel a bit protective over her, even though she's the one who is a supposed black belt and can probably flip me over backwards. Though, I wouldn't mind if she ever wanted to flip me over in bed. My face blushed at the thought. Thank goodness no one could tell though, because the conversation was odd enough that they probably thought I was blushing over that.
"I.. Uh.. Blaire, that's not what they are talking about." Gabi muttered, not knowing whether she should explain to her friend or not. She buried her face in her hand, shaking her head from side to side.
"Babe.. Why .. Uh. Nevermind." The bodyguard stuttered, her cheeks turning red. Aww how cute. Daisy always wanted to be the tough one, and usually had a hard exterior, but Victoria always seemed to know how to break through the armor. I really liked the two together.
"What? I am not wrong. It's rude not to add to the conversation. Although it has been a while since our last rodeo, we might need more practice. Can't get rusty now, can we?" Victoria practically purred, as her manicured hands wrapped around her girlfriend's arm. Daisy looked away, coughing as if to hide the reddening blush, creeping along her face.
"I think you broke her.. Anyways give a girl a heads up so I can get my ear plugs or leave the house. Thanks boo." I said teasingly, giving Daisy a wink, to which she glowered back in response.
"Not if you make it a competition, there are three teams here. I mean rodeos are always about endurance, right?" Sarita chimed while giving Gabi a dazzling smile, to which the poor girl shivered and looked away.
"Ooooh, that sounds like fun! Darling, can we play?!" Blaire said excitedly, grabbing onto my arm while looking up at me with pleading eyes. My brain malfunctioned while her breasts pressed against my arm. They were so soft and voluminous, I could only just imagine how they would look if we were to ride each other. I felt so hot at the idea, I swear there was smoke coming out from my ears. I need this conversation to head somewhere else before my brain could malfunction any more, though I don't think that that is possible.
"I..Uh Anyway, that conversation is for another time. Let's get inside before any set starts." I say before we could continue with that conversation. Gabi let out a sigh of relief from that, her shoulders finally relaxing.
Beside her girlfriend, Victoria cleared her throat, while working on pulling her hair back into a sleek ponytail. She fixed her glasses, looking over toward the redhead, who was still scowling over the conversation prior. "Right, we probably should get us all checked in." Thank god, someone is being a voice of reason, my body is overheating as it is. I need to cool off. Well considering she escalated the conversation even more, I guess she really isn't a voice of reason. Forget what I said, I need some alcohol in my system.
"Thank God.." I heard Gabi mutter out loud and I honestly couldn't blame her.
"I hated every second of that."
"You just don't want people to know how much of a softie you are"
"I can't hear you, let's just go. I need a drink." I couldn't help but release a chuckle at Daisy covering her ears and walking ahead of the raven haired woman.
"Oh drinks! Let's go." Blaire shouted with pure excitement, grabbing my hand and dragging toward the others that had already started to walk off. Well she's definitely stronger than she looks, that's one thing I know for certain..
"Try not to get too drunk this time, I don't want to have to babysit everyone."
"You worry too much Mami, you gotta relax. I'll keep a real close eye on Gabrielle so I got that front covered." The Latina spoke, waving dismissively over at the bodyguard.
"..What she means to say is, I guess I am babysitting Sarita. I don't plan on drinking that much, if at all." Gabrielle doesn't seem like a party girl compared to her best friend, she didn't have any extra shots besides the first one yesterday. The rest of the night she drank some champagne. It's good to at least have one friend like that because none of the others aren't.
If this wasn't literally her job, I would be annoyed at the overprotective nature that Daisy has for me. I am not a normal person anymore, my voice has given me great fame. I've had my problems with others before so a bodyguard is required at this point. I placed my unoccupied hand on the redhead's back. "I'm a big girl Daiz, let's just enjoy the festival. Relax a bit, I know you got my back if needed."
"Don't worry Daisy, I can protect Mickie!" The blue eyed cowgirl spoke defiantly, causing the redhead's attention to drift over to her instead. She clicked her lips together, I was expecting some kind of retort but instead she flashed a small smile. She's warming up to Blaire and Gabrielle now it seems, she hasn't always been this way but I understand nonetheless. There wasn't much dialogue exchanged between us heading toward where we can enter the VIP area for the performers. It was pretty easy for us to get in. If anyone questioned me about some of the other girls with me, I could lie and say that they are my extra staff.
Several people were walking around backstage, many with boxes or equipment. One woman was pushing a production cart that seemed to weigh as much as she did. Those fuckers got be heavy. Her eyes glanced over toward us for a second before looking back at her work. She took a couple more steps and came to a complete halt. She looked back to us, more specifically to me. It was like she had to do a double take. "Oh my god, you're Mickie James!" The stranger exclaimed out with an accented voice as she started making her way closer toward us. I am not sure what accent that is but it's pretty thick. She was a couple inches taller than I was, long blonde hair that trailed down her back. The woman was wearing a black and red baseball cap that was turned backwards, black jeans and a 'Walk with Elias' t-shirt. That's right Elias is performing today so she must be working for him. I haven't seen him in a hot minute so I should go say hello. She's very pretty, I would be lying through my teeth if I didn't say that. "My name is Toni Storm, I am a big fan of yours."
Her smile was pretty contagious, I couldn't help but smile back at the blonde. I always love meeting my fans, sure it could be a double edged sword in some ways. I can't help that I love people so much. "Great to meet you, Toni." The woman known as Toni slowly started making her way closer to me. I could tell that the blonde was still nervous about my presence. I heard footsteps get louder behind me as Daisy started coming into my view from the side. "Down Firecrotch." I instructed in a joking manner to the redhead, who didn't take a step further. Instead I felt my hand being squeezed a bit tighter than usual, as Blaire didn't seem keen on the idea of Toni either. "You need to relax too, Darling." I soothed, giving her hand a gentle squeeze. Blaire gave a nod of understanding and relaxed her grip. I think it's kinda cute that she's jealous.
"I can't believe I am actually talking to you, I was working during your performance but I was too shy to say anything. Um, if it isn't too much trouble, can we take a selfie?"
"Normally we charge a fee of-" My manager tried speaking about our regular prices about appearances and such. I let out a small laugh and nudged her in the side to get her to shut up about it. I know she was joking for the most part.
"Of course, I can't say no since you asked so nicely." I freed myself momentarily from the blonde cowgirl's grasp and walked over toward the excited woman. She was practically glowing and that nervousness was fading away. After making sure that my hair looked great, I leaned over close to her as she held up her phone.
A few seconds passed and the blonde looked down at the photo while I looked over at it. That's a good selfie. "Thank you so much! My friends are going to be so jealous! I should get back to work, if you guys need anything, please don't be afraid to ask me." Toni practically made a mad dash over toward the same cart she was pushing previously but the smile remained on my face. She's a sweetheart, I love that I can make people happy like that.
"Damn Mami has a nice ass. I'd tap that." Sarita said with a purr which caused Gabrielle to release a loud sigh. I mean she's not wrong but I wasn't going to think or say anything about it.
"Really let me-" Daisy started to say until her girlfriend slapped her in the chest. "Ow babe!"
"Seriously, I am right here."
"I was only joking babe!"
"She's got a nice cake though." Vic said with a snicker, knowing that it would get under her girlfriend's skin. The raven haired woman walked away from her side as Daisy gave her an offended look. These two goofballs are a riot sometimes.
"Heh, say I want to go say hey to a friend of mine that's performing today. Want to come with you guys?"
"I want to hit the bar and grind on some hotties. Come on, Gabrielle." The Latina spoke excitedly, she grabbed onto the blonde and started dragging her away. The taller blonde didn't seem thrilled about that but didn't really protest.
"I wouldn't mind hitting the bar, but I don't want to be by myself. If only I had a big strong woman to come with me." Victoria let out a coo as she clung to her girlfriend's arm. Not her acting all defenseless whenever she is probably just as strong as Daisy is. I mean, they are workout buddies. The redhead arched a brow over at her girlfriend, giving a cocky smirk in response. Oh god, don't boost her ego even further. "I am Mickie's manager after all so you are my bodyguard too and plus she has Blaire to keep her safe."
Why do I have the feeling she's doing this on purpose? Vic has always been the best wingman. "Right.." Daisy said with a little hesitation, her eyes darted over to the energetic blonde, who hadn't left my side. I know that Blaire was eager to party and drink too. I wouldn't be upset if she went with them. The couple went in the same direction as the others, leaving me alone with the blonde cowgirl since our first encounter.
"You sure you don't want to go with them? I wouldn't mind." I don't want her to feel obligated to stay by my side. I do want her company but if she wanted to hang out with her bestie and the others, I would be fine.
Blaire blinked a couple times like she was thinking about it but instead the cowgirl shook her head side to side. "Sugar Plum, I want to spend time with you. Let's go meet your friend, if they are anything like you, they are my kind of folk." I am not going to lie, that almost caused me to blush a little bit. She's so eager to spend time with me but not in a weird way. She thinks so highly of me and anyone that I am acquainted with. I am not someone that deserves to be on a pedestal but I wouldn't mind if she worshiped me a bit. Damn it Mickie Laree, Christy has rubbed off of you.
The walk to our destination was pretty short. I knocked on the door and heard a voice on the other side. "Come in." Doing as instructed, I opened the door and was greeted with a smile from the bearded man. Elias put his guitar over toward the side as he gestured to me while standing up. "Well well, it's been a while Mick, are you here to Walk with Elias?"
I chuckled at him still using that catchphrase, it has been pretty popular with everyone especially the ladies. The man stands at about six feet tall, long slicked back black hair and dark brown eyes. His outfit for the day was simple, a pair of blue jeans, a black tanktop and a black and white plaid scarf that he alway wears during his performance. He gave me a quick hug as I looked up to him. "Of course. I haven't gotten to see you perform in over a year. Oh Darling, this is Elias 'The Drifter' Samson and Elias this is my friend Blaire."
"Nice to meet you gorgeous." He oozed charisma and has a very flirtatious personality, Blaire seemed to like him a good bit. Although I wonder how much of that was her own opinion on him and not due to him being my friend. We didn't want to keep him very long but we engaged in small talk to catch up. I also extended out an invitation for him to join us later to watch the rest of the performances with us.
Saying one last farewell for now, the both of us left the room with a content smile. He will be joining us later after he performs and I plan to watch his set. That being said, I am pretty thirsty and could use a drink or two to unwind. Digging into my purse, I grabbed my glasses and wig to go into my 'Alexis' look. I don't want to attract unwanted attention, I just want to enjoy the festival with my friends. Now the question is, which bar are they at? Something immediately caught my attention. Feeling a buzz in my pocket I pulled out my phone and saw Daisy's name on the screen. Putting in my passcode I read the message. 'Hey Mickers, where are you guys? Are you done visiting Elias? Come meet us at the bar, we are at the one in the Area 3 food court by the set.' Talk about convenient timing, I swear it's like she was reading my mind. Saves us some time not having to track them down.
Reading the redhead's message I turned to the blonde cowgirl next to me. "I just got a text from Daisy. Do you want to head over and get some drinks with them before we head to Elias's set? I'm in the mood to get drunk today, so I could definitely use some."
"Sure Sugar Plum! I would love to get some drinks with you! Maybe we could do some dancing too right after. I would love for you to show me how you giddy up on the dance floor." The smaller blonde winked while biting her lip teasingly. I smiled at the small cowgirls flirtation, feeling butterflies in my stomach.
"Sure, but only if you join me for the rodeo." I say teasingly, my mind wandering back to the convo from the parking lot.
"Ooo! I would love to join you at the rodeo!" She responds excitedly. Seeing her innocent expression, I have a feeling that she doesn't really understand what I was saying. Her innocent joy made me smile. I love how she was so flirtatious and yet at the same time so naive. She was just so precious at times. As we walk towards the bar, we chat a bit over country music and about a few of the sets that we wanted to see today. Our first set is gonna be Elias', but she wants to see the Pistol Annies. Which I'll admit, I am also excited to see. But really I just love any country music overall. Listening to other country singers inspires me to reach bigger heights and to write more songs. As we talked, I saw the adorable blonde's eyes brighten with excitement.
"Hey Darling, I wanna show you a surprise. Can you hold on to my hand and close your eyes? I'll guide you, trust me." Blaire said, her eyes twinkling with joy. As confused as I was by the sudden request, my heart melted by her puppy dog eyes.
"Uh- sure thing Sweetness." I say, and reluctantly close my eyes. A pair of soft and petite hands grabbed mine. Our hands melded perfectly together. "Don't worry Sugarplum, I won't let you fall. You can grab onto my arm if that makes you feel any better." She said, sensing my reluctance. Nodding, my arms moved up to wrap around the petite blondes, pulling me closer to her. Being up this close I could smell a sweet floral smell coming from her, probably roses and something else I couldn't decipher. I was so intoxicated by her scent that I hadn't even noticed we started walking. With a gentle tug, I followed behind her, careful not to trip. I wonder what she wanted to surprise me with?
Slowing down, Blaire tapped on my arm, signaling to stop. "Wait right here Sugarplum, I want to put something on your head." She said before untangling herself from my arms. My head? What did she want to put on my head? I wonder if it's a cowgirl hat that matches the one she has on. That would be adorably cute. Hearing her footsteps shuffling closer, I can feel her body heat close to mine. As she moved closer I could feel her warm breath exhaling onto my neck, causing me to shiver. Something soft and circular was placed atop my head. Judging by how it didn't feel like it covered my head completely, I don't think it was a cowboy hat.
"Okay, you can open your eyes now!" Blaire said excitedly. I opened my eyes to a reflection of myself. A small mirror sat on the wall, inside of the booth. Looking to what sat atop my head, I saw a beautiful flower crown, made with baby's breath and other dainty flowers I had no idea the name to. The flower crown had a whimsical look that complimented my features.
"Do you like it Darling?" The blonde cowgirl asked beside me. I turned around to see she was wearing a similar looking flower crown, except hers had all pink flowers, which I was not surprised to see. My heart melted at the gesture. I always felt like since I'm a celebrity, my past partners always wanted me to pay for things and get them things. Which I didn't mind, I love spoiling the people I care about. Yet here was a girl, who wanted nothing more than to spoil me with little gifts and protect me. It was a weird feeling, having someone who wanted to take care of me, yet I loved it, I craved it, which I didn't know I did before now.
"I love it, Sugarplum." I say before giving her a quick peck on the cheek. The blonde smiled, happy that I liked the gift.
"That's just part of the surprise! Come follow me!" She said, grabbing my hand to follow. I walked closely behind, careful not to get lost in the crowded booth. Following her behind the line of booths, she led me to a photobooth area. In one section of the booths, there was a spot filled with cute themed background scenes to take photos at.
"What do you think? Wanna take some photos of us together, Darling? It'll be a cute reminder of our day together!" The blonde asked, hopping up and down in excitement.
"Of course! We should take a picture with the forest background!" I say, pointing to the background of a woodland forest. It matched our whimsical flower crowns perfectly. Walking to the photo section, we waited on a short line, which moved pretty quickly. As we got to the first of the line, the photographer led us to the forest background and took some pictures of us. We tried out some of the other backgrounds and ended up back to the forest to take one last picture of us, pecking each other on the lips. The photographer printed out a few photos for both Blaire and I to take. Blaire kept all of the pictures we took, holding them close to her chest in admiration. I kept a few of the better ones. My favorite one being the last picture we took of us kissing, which I stashed in my wallet. Looking at my watch, I saw that Elias' set was about to start in an hour.
"Hey Darling, do you want to get some food quick before we head to Elias' set? There's a nacho truck over there that looks good." I asked, pointing over to the nacho truck that was on the way to where we had to go. Blaire looked to the said truck, to which her stomach loudly growled in response. "I'll take that as a yes." I chuckled at her blushed face. She bit her lip meekly and nodded yes, embarrassed by her stomach grumbling. Taking her hand, I led her over to the nacho truck. After waiting in line, I ordered two nacho supremes for us, to which after a quick back and forth, I insisted on paying, which caused the smaller blonde to pout, begrudgingly. Giving one of the nacho supremes to Blaire, we then decided on heading over to Elias' set.
As we headed over, we walked and ate in silence for a bit, which allowed my mind to venture back to my conversation with Gabi yesterday, in the pool house, when we talked about how I felt about Blaire. 'Yes Blaire discovered you because of your music, but I know she's attracted to you as the woman behind the voice. You should have seen her excitement this morning when she got your text. She screamed so loud, I almost went deaf. I am not saying right this second but soon, you guys should hang out, just the two of you and see what sparks flies. Make sure it's not drunken lust, ya know?' Was it just drunken lust? No, I don't think so. Besides my long time friends, Blaire seems like she genuinely likes me as a person and not a celebrity. She doesn't just want me for my fame or just to say she's been with Mickie James. She wants to get to know me, for me. Spending today with her has been one of the best days in a very long time and I want to have her around more. Should I ask her out? Biting my lip, nervously, I felt butterflies in my stomach. I already knew the answer that I was looking for. Yes, I do want to ask her out. I want to spend more time with this girl who was so happy go lucky, and such a ray of sunshine. Not to mention she was fun and flirty too.
"Hey Sugar Plum." I said, stopping in my tracks. Blaire stopped just a few steps ahead, and turned around to face me.
"Yes Darling?" She asked, looking at me with confused doe eyes.
"I've been thinking. The past two days have been some of the best I've had in a while. I really love the time we spent together, and I want to get to know you some more. Just you and I. Do you want to go out on a date, sometime?" I asked, nervously, my heart thundering in my chest.
"YES! OH MY GOD, YES!" The petite blonde screamed, jumping up and down, before tackling me in a hug. My breath left my body as the small girl tackled me. Wrapping my arms around her, a goofy smile found its way on my face. All that nervousness for nothing! As if noticing her over reaction, Blaire peeled herself off from me, clearing her throat. "I mean- Of course, Sugar Plum. I would love to go on a date with you!" She said before turning around to hide her blush. I could hear her muttering to herself which I couldn't quite hear, but it sounded something like - 'you idiot!" My grin widened to a point that my face was starting to hurt from smiling. She really knows how to make me ridiculously happy.
"Ok! Then it's set! I, Mickie James, will take you, Blaire Hollyfield, on an official date. Hopefully sometime soon! I just have to check with Victoria when I'm free with all the music videos, shoots and live performances."
"Mhmm." The blonde girl nodded excitedly, giving me a cheeky grin. Grabbing on to her hand, we then walked the rest of the way to where Elias is supposed to perform. The crowd was already packed, and we found a spot somewhere near the back to which I pouted. I would have liked to be a little closer to the front, but maybe this was easier to find the others. The previous band finished their last song and the crowd surged up closer as we heard the intro music begin for Elias' performance. As he walked up to the front of the stage, the crowd cheered wildly, which Blaire and I joined in.
"Hey everybody! Thank you for joining me today! I am gonna start this set with one of my favorite's, Nothing I Can't Do." He said to the crowd. The music swelled up and he began his first song. His voice was soft and soothing. The music jived, and we all danced and sang along to his song. Being a friend of his, I knew most of the lyrics to his songs, as we always talked about potentially doing a collab together. Blaire and I danced and sang as Elias played a few songs. By the third song, I checked my phone again, wondering where the others were. I told them, Blaire and mine's location, but we haven't found anyone yet.
Elias's playing slowed down as he prepared for his next number, Blaire separated herself from me momentarily to catch her breath. The harsh sunlight shining and emphasizing her freckled face as she flashes me a grin. The only sounds being heard right now are soft pants and the cheers from the crowd. A slight amount of pressure made its presence known on my shoulder as I looked over to see a manicured hand. Before I could turn around a voice whispered to me. "A disguise would never hide an ass like that, Mick Mick." The feminine voice sent a shiver down my spine, everything seemed to freeze as I struggled to turn my head to look at the woman behind me. There is only one person that I allowed to call me by that nickname. It can't be.. My body didn't want to move as I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist and pull me back toward her into an unwanted embrace. "I've missed you so much! Like I know you've been super busy lately but it wouldn't kill you to call or text me. I know last time we talked, we had a really big fight babe but I promise. I'm a different person now."
"Trish." It was the only word that I managed to let out as I looked over toward the blonde cowgirl, who looked baffled at the woman. Trish Stratus is someone that I used to know very well until the mask was completely taken off and the true nature of this woman became known to me. About four years ago, my fame was at the highest it had ever been at that point and I met someone that claimed to be a huge fan of mine. There was something about this woman at the time, I felt a connection instantly and mistook it for something more than what it was. She truly was the most gorgeous woman I have ever seen with a heart of gold. Sadly that heart was made of fool's gold and after a brief time of dating, I saw what she truly was. An obsessed psychopath that wanted me all to herself. There was a point in time that the lunatic was jealous over the time I was spending with Maria. She lunged herself at the redhead only to be slammed into the ground by Daisy, who had been attempting to warn me to be wary of Trish from the beginning. I should have listened. My body was starting against her grasp as my mind wanted to revisit some of the terrible things she's done. Like the time Trish- "Dai-"
Before I could scream out my bodyguard's name, I felt someone else grab my hand and pull me forward with enough force to cause this psychopath to release me. The tender touch replaced that monster's grip as I heard a reassuring voice. "Don't worry Darling, I am right here." Blaire cooed as I opened my eyes to look to see I was now standing next to the cowgirl. Her voice brought me back down to Earth as I realized that I wasn't alone with this woman. My eyes looked over to my crazy ex girlfriend. Her blonde hair no longer existed, instead it was now a dark brown color. She sent me her signature smile that captivated me once upon a time, now it only sends shivers down my spine.
"Oh this hussie your new boo thing or something? Mick Mick, that isn't fair, we were only on a break." She gestured over to Blaire as I could only stare at her dumbfounded. Trish really hasn't changed a bit, still as delusional as always. We haven't dated for over three and a half years, I've had a relationship since her. My business with the cute blonde cowgirl is none of her concern.
"I am not a husky, you are pretty stupid, aren't you? I might not be that brightest at times but even I know that Mickie doesn't like you. You should leave." If the situation wasn't serious, I probably would have chuckled at Blaire's naive nature, I am not going to correct her this time. Blaire made sure to distance Trish from me as she took a couple steps toward the brunette.
"We weren't on break, Trish. I broke up with you years ago. I don't want anything to do with you. Please just go away." I spoke to my ex for the first time which lit up her eyes. I hated the effect I had on this lunatic. For the longest time, even after everything she's done, I wanted to resolve things peacefully. I didn't want her in my life. I wanted her to move the fuck on. She's one of the main reasons I have a security guard.
"Babe, I know you don't mean that." Once again Trish didn't listen to my plea and retorted with a plea of her own. She's not going to change. "We will talk about this after I talk to your little friend here."
"You have three seconds to leave." For the first time, the blue eyed blonde's happy go lucky attitude disappeared. That charming smile was replaced with a scowl as she took a couple steps toward Trish.
"Or what?" The lunatic arched a brow as she snickered, not being one to back down for a challenge. That look in her eyes.. Oh god, it's going to happen again, isn't it? I need to get Daisy over here before something happens to Sugar Plum. I am not going to be responsible for my mistakes to cause any harm to my friends.
"Then I'll make you, simple as that."
"That's rich, you are going to regret saying that." She took a step back like she was going ready to charge forward like a bull seeing red. Instead I noticed a presence that sent a wave of relief through me, thank god.. Trish went too far back and collided with the people lurking behind her. The brunette noticed that I was looking at something behind her, and instead turned to swing widely at whoever was behind her. "You damn bit-" Her whole body turned around as her fist was caught with ease. "Oh fuck." Daisy's eyes stared at me for a moment, mouthing something toward me. She was asking me if I was okay and in response I nodded my head. Not going to lie, it was amusing to see this lunatic struggling to get her fist free from the redhead's grip. "I see you're still around.. Annoying as ever I see. Now release me!"
"I call dibs on Patricia, Rookie." Daisy stated nonchalantly over toward the cowgirl, who looked over at me and smiled. Trish snarled out, swinging her free hand in an attempt to hit the taller woman. That effort was futile as well, now both of her fists were in the grip of my security guard. "Really, you tried a second time." The redhead's grip tightened as Daisy took a couple steps closer to the brunette. She never released my ex girlfriend instead her pure strength pushed against the smaller woman, causing her to drop to a knee. She's enjoying this, I can tell by the smirk on her face as she should. Right?
"I am not afraid of you!" The lunatic shouted, trying to push back with all her strength but it was all for nothing.
Daisy could only laugh at the declaration. "Oh that's cute, you have many reasons to be afraid of me. I'll demonstrate if you like since you never got the message last time-" Her thoughts were cut off by Trish spitting on the redhead's face, oh fucking hell, I might need to bail my bodyguard out of jail. The look on Daisy's face changed within nanoseconds, however the smirk never disappeared. The redhead released the brunette only to grab the brunette by the face and slam her into the ground. This woman is really stupid, you poked the biggest bear in the forest. "Tell me why I shouldn't break you in half? I could do it before I call the cops on your ass, you violated the restraining order."
"Restraining order is just a piece of paper, our love is meant to be and people like you are getting in the way of that!" Dear sweet Jesus, I don't know how much more I can take of this. The redhead grabbed the fabric of Trish's top and pulled her closer, remaining perched on top of her.
"Daisy, just let her go.." I spoke much to the redhead's dismay, as I glared down at Stratus, who gave me the most hopeful of looks. This is the decision that is best for us, having Daisy beat her ass and possibly getting put in jail. Even if it's justified, oh so justified, it's better if we don't cause more of a scene than we might have already. "We can make the report later, let's not make a scene. Trish, forget about me and move on. I have told you so many times, I will never love you again. You ruined that possibility." That was the last time I intended to speak or even look in the brunette's direction. Why do I need to relive my bad decisions? Do I really deserve that?
Daisy gave me one last stare before exhaling a scoff. She climbed off of the brunette and walked a couple steps over toward Blaire and I. Trish blinked a couple times as the redhead held out an open palm. "You have five seconds before you are eating dirt and I ignore her request. Five… Four.. Three-" A finger going down every second that passes, Trish made the logical choice and immediately ran around like any reasonable person would. "Pussy." Thank god, I hope I never see her again.. but I have a feeling this isn't the end.
"Sugar Plum, are you sure that's what you want?" Blaire asked, placing her hand on the small of my back, gently running in up and down in a soothing motion. Out of all the times for that lunatic to show up, it had to be now with her. I hope the others aren't around, I don't need anymore chaos. My body isn't shaking anymore. It's okay Mickie, you can relax now.
"Yeah, I don't want her ruining our day of fun. Thank you Darling, I don't know if I would have managed without you." I leaned over and gave my knight in shining armor a peck on the cheek which caused her whole face to emit a slight pink hue seemed. That's cute. I rested my head briefly in the crook of her neck as I held onto her hand. There was something about this cowgirl that washed all of those worries away. I am truly thankful that she was here. I know my decision to ask her out on an actual date was the right one.
The redhead, who had been watching the direction that my obsessive ex ran off in, turned to face the both of us. Daisy looked over to Blaire, and for the first time, she gave her a smile and held out her fist toward. Blaire reached out and bumped her fist. This is great, she's really warming up to her. "Yeah thanks Blondie, if she wouldn't have swung at me, I was eager to see your skills at work. I am glad to know that you weren't fibbing whenever you said you would protect Mickie. We would have had serious problems otherwise." The last sentence was spoken with a more serious demeanor about it. Of course, she has wanted to fight her since their encounter. Why? I don't know, it's a Daisy thing I guess.
"I am still willing to give you a demonstration sometime whenever you want." The blonde cowgirl cooed, giving the redhead a playful wink which got a smirk out of my security guard. Now the more important question is who do I bet on? The smartest decision would be to bet on my personal security since she has never lost a fight besides against the woman who trained her. Darling is a wild card, I am quite curious to see what a black belt in judo could do.
"Sounds good, I had to deal with someone trying to hit on my woman and Sarita kicked some guy in the nuts for touching Gabi's ass. That was funny to watch, she really made that poor guy her bitch." Hearing that, my eyes widened in surprise, a small chuckle managing to escape despite what had just occurred. I am really surprised that the person that flirted with Victoria was able to walk away unscathed, they are a lucky soul. I'm glad Gabi had Sarita by her side too. At least I have bail money just in case. Sare has been hanging out with Gabrielle a good bit, maybe it's purely because everyone else is kinda paired off. Maybe it's something else, but it's cute to know the latina has her back. Daisy placed a hand on my shoulder, her eyes more sympathetic in nature. "Mickie, are you good? I know that.."
She had trailed off but I knew exactly where the thought process was going. I took a few steps forward and wrapped my arms around the woman and pulled her into an embrace. "I am good, thanks to you two. I love you so much Daiz." I say, feeling emotional all over again.
"Love ya too Mickers." Her hand ran softly through the wig's tresses as she returned my affection.
"Heyyy Putas! We finally found you guys!" A strong voice bellowed over the music. It was easily recognizable as we all turned to look at our company. Sarita walked over, holding onto Gabi's hand, who looked almost mortified for some reason. I bet it had to do with whatever pervert decided to mess with her or Sarita mauled the guy good. I am putting money on both, watching the latina fight is terrifying in itself. Victoria trailed behind the pair, looking at Daisy and I with a smile. The brunette noticed the more tense atmosphere between the three of us as I finally broke away from my embrace with Daisy. "I feel like we just missed something muy importante."
"Is everyone okay?" Gabrielle asked, her eyes scrunched in worry. I nodded my head.
"Yeah, everything is fine. Just a crazy encounter. Let's just listen to Elias's next song. I really want to enjoy his set before I see him next time!" I say, forcing a smile to my face. It's over now. The whole thing with Trish really shook me up, but I'm at a music festival with my closest friends, watching another friend perform. Today has been a great day otherwise and I'm not gonna let Trish ruin it for me, as she had in the past. As if noticing my smile was forced, Blaire grabbed onto my hand before giving it a squeeze, a reassuring smile on her face.
"I do love this song!" The small blonde exclaimed before exploding into singing. I smile, her energy being so infectious. Before I knew it, we were all singing and dancing together, the moment with Trish completely forgotten for the time being. Elias played some of his most hit songs, which we all belted the words out to. After a few songs, Blaire and Gabi stepped away to grab some drinks for the group. Hopefully they make it back in time for the finale. After a few more songs, the musicians slowed down the music, finishing their current song. They started to play the intro to their next song, which I quickly recognized the melody to.
"Ooo, he's playing my favorite song of his, 'Walk with Me', next!" I shouted excitedly to Victoria, who was right next to me. Too bad, Blaire is missing this.
The singer cleared his throat for a moment, adjusting the microphone by his face. "Before I play the last song of our set tonight, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all for coming to see me tonight! This is my first time playing at the CMA Fest here in Nashville, and you all have made this a very special night for me tonight. I may not be the last set playing here tonight but I hope you all enjoy the rest of the festival! Now, we are gonna finish this off with a bang with my hit song, 'Walk with Me." He waited a moment while casually playing the beginning of the song for the cheers from the crowd to settle down.
As the fireworks started casually firing off, the banner hanging at the top of the stage started to open up. All performers get one and some pyro to finish off their performances, especially the bigger names. That's whenever all color seemed to disappear from the world as once the banner opened enough something heavy fell from it and crashed into the floor. It happened so fast that I couldn't see what it was but I don't believe that it was suppose to happen. Elias immediately looked over to the loud crashing sound. "What the fuck!" He shouted, falling from his chair onto the hard concrete floor. His guitar actually broke into pieces on the impact. The screen above the stage refused to show what exactly happened so the ones further back were left in the dark. The crowd that was once screaming in bliss was now screaming in terror. People toward the front of the set were scrambling to flee. Other stagehands were running onto the stage as I looked up to look at Daisy and Victoria. They were taller than I was so they could see what's going on better. Although the second I looked at their faces I realized that something was definitely wrong, their eyes widened, both of their faces were pale. What exactly happened? We didn't budge while people around us were already catching wind of what transpired. Looking up at the banner, I noticed a massive dark red stain which looked like paint spilled in one spot. That's silly, they wouldn't let something like that pass. It was at that moment I looked at the stage and could see what had happened. My heart stopped, feeling frozen in time as I locked on to a hand that was dangling slightly off of the stage. The appendage coated in crimson that made everything click in place for me. That's a human body.. Someone's dead. This can't be happening!
Author's Note: And I oop- this chapter totally took three months and I have no excuses. I probably shouldn't try to make mental deadlines, it never works out. Now we are getting to the M rated stuff, and you pervs probably thought it was gonna be for smut, come on, admit it. Also I am really thinking that Sarita is my spirit animal, she's a riot. She was only suppose to appear in chapter 3 but here she is, causing beautiful chaos. We also got so much banter and cuteness in this chapter. As for the ending, I have to give credit to Tori for this idea. My little sadistic bean is matching me and I love it. This is what you get whenever you have two idiotic geniuses on the case. Procrastination and Fuckery. Imma hand it over to Tori now..
Hi, sadistic bean here. Honestly can't remember where I got the idea for the banner galore but I do love a flashy bloody murder scene :D When starting this story I had no idea how the characters would interact or develop but I've been loving how certain friendships and relationships are forming. I love writing Gabi for her witchy and mystical stuff. Next chapter will be fun to read to see how this plays out!
