“Thank you,” replied Chad. “The suit seemed pleased.”
I leaned in eagerly. “He was smiling and tapping along to every song. So what happens now?”
“Now, I make our boys famous.” Donnie appeared from behind me. “How did you enjoy the show, Merritt?”
“They were awesome.”
“Good. Okay, boys. Let’s go make a deal.”
Chase leaned in for a kiss. “If this takes a while, you can head upstairs. I’ll meet you up there.”
“I’m actually going to head up now. My feet are killing me. Good luck.”
As I turned, a thin blonde stopped in front of me. “Excuse me. Are you Chase’s girlfriend?”
I arched an eyebrow, instantly in defense mode. “I am.”
“I’m Brooke. I’m Philip’s girlfriend.”
My expression immediately softened. “Oh, Philip the bassist?”
She smiled, revealing her dazzlingly white teeth. “Yes. I just wanted to introduce myself.”
“I’m glad you did. It’s nice to know someone who’s going through the same thing.”
“We should exchange numbers. I can show you around.”
“Sure.” I took out my phone, and we inputted each other’s information.
“Your hair is gorgeous.” A slightly shorter blonde outstretched her hand.
“This is my friend Michelle,” Brooke said.
“Thank you.” I smiled as I shook Michelle’s hand.
“How do you get it to curl like that?” she asked.
“It just grows out of my head this way.”
They both laughed identical high-pitched laughs. I did everything in my power to stop myself from holding my ear and closing one eye, as I often did when Shelly squealed.
“Well, it was nice meeting you guys. I’m going to call it a night.”
“The time change can take a while to get used to,” Brooke offered, making it apparent that one o’clock in the morning was too early to be heading to bed.
“Night.”
I waved to Dave as I walked towards the door, but he jogged over. Still, his hair did not move out of place. “You didn’t have to leave me a tip. I told you, your money is no good here.”
“I really appreciate your hospitality tonight.”
“You are very welcome. I’m glad we found a drink for you.”
“Me, too.”
