“She must be something special…”
I nod at Rick once. “She fucking is…”
“And she’s really not some groupie or a wannabe? All the girls we deal with generally are.”
“Well, she’s not, Sly. She couldn’t be.”
He scoffs. “What do you meanshe couldn’t be? When was the last time we ran into a chick we couldn’t turn into a diehard fan if she didn’t knowBurning 21already?”
I smile at him. “I don’t know if she knows of our band. But I think it wouldn’t make a difference to her if she did.”
Now Rick is the one scoffing. “You’re telling me you met someone that doesn’t care you’re a rock star?”
I shrug. “That’s it exactly! I tried to talk to her yesterday because I screwed up the first time that I saw her when we got here, and I wanted to make things better, maybe see if she would grab a cup of coffee with me or something… she wouldn’t give me the time of day.”
“You mean she saidNo?To a date. Withyou?” Rick asks, and there’s no arrogance in his question. He is genuinely astounded.
Girls never sayNoto us. I mean, never.
I’ve seen chicks beg to sleep with us with tears in their eyes even when we acted like complete and utter bastards just to get them off our backs.
It’s a bit offensive, honestly.
“I mean, I didn’t even get to ask her… she didn’t stick around long enough for me to. I barely got the apology out before she ghosted me.”
Sly shakes his head like I’m sharing some urban legend or something rather than the story of a girl that ditched me. “And who is this mythical creature so resistant to your many charming qualities? Does she turn into a unicorn too?”
I ignore Sly’s ribbing. “She’s a normal girl. Works here.”
Rick snickers. “The help? Really, Cars?”
I roll my eyes at his snobby reply. I know he doesn’t mean anything by it. He just likes to push my buttons. “Don’t be an ass. I’m not playing around. I really like this girl.”
Rick grins. “I bet. She pretty?”
I sigh, leaning against the glass door. “Fucking gorgeous.”
Sly nods to himself. “Let’s go back a bit, shall we? You mentioned you screwed things up with her? What on earth did you do?”
And isn’t that the question of the day?!
“Well, I can tell you how I screwed upthe first time. That’s easy enough to guess. I yelled at her, scared her. Oh, and I was almost completely naked while I did that. All in all, it was pretty good as far as first impressions can go. No clue what I did yesterday to make her go all cold on me after I apologized, though.”
Rick cocks his head to the side. “Uh… okay. You gonna have to tell us more, man.”
By the time I’ve told my soon-to-be-former best friends what happened with Mia the two times I’ve been in her presence, the assholes are both in stitches, and I’m scowling at them.
“You two fucks are no help at all!” I grouse.
They only laugh harder, getting out of breath as they remark over my running out of the suite in only a towel.
Sly shakes his head, chuckling. “Man, our PR would have loved to get a pic of that…”
I walk to the mini-fridge to get myself a bottle of cold water. “Are you two jerks done fucking with me? Yes, it was a hoot. Give it a rest now, alright?”
They both sober up.
Rick sighs. “Fuck, you really are lost over this lady, aren’t you?”
