‘You just did show me.’
‘That? No, that was just the warm-up act. I’m only getting started with you.’
‘Well if you don’t get on stage you’re going to run out of time. Now go. You need to get ready.’
She watches as he goes into the bathroom and turns on the shower. ‘Do you fancy—’
‘No, Tate. You’ve got eight minutes.’
‘Believe me, after not seeing you for six weeks, eight minutes is more than enough time.’
She gets up and pushes him into the bathroom, closing the door in his face. Once he’s done, she has a quick shower herself. When she goes back into the dressing room, he’s dressed and pulling on his boots.
‘I’ve got one minute. You sure?’
‘You are unbelievable.’
‘Thanks.’
Right on schedule, Gregg pounds on the door. ‘C’mon Prince Charming. Move your arse.’
‘Okay!’ He pulls her into a tight hug again. ‘How long you need to get ready?’
‘I was ready until you went all caveman on me.’
‘Not going to apologise for that. Ten minutes be okay?’
‘Should be more than enough time. Why?’
‘I’ll ask someone to come and get you. Bring you up to the stage. They’ve got somewhere set up at the front where you can watch from. Gregg was going to bring Bria there while I was saying hello to you.’
‘That’s how you say hello?’
‘To you? Fuck yes.’ She stands back and looks at him. ‘What?’
‘Is this you ready to go on stage?’
He looks down at his dark blue jeans and black t-shirt. ‘What? You expecting platform boots and glitter?’
‘No, it’s just nice I guess.’
‘I’m not following?’
‘You don’t change who you are. It’s just you and your mates playing music.’
‘That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you all along. Glad it’s finally gotten through to you.’
Gregg kicks the door this time so Tate yanks it open. ‘Would you calm the fuck down? I’m coming.’ He gives Chloe a quick kiss. ‘Sorry. I better go.’
Gregg sticks his head around the corner and wiggles his eyebrows. ‘Looking good, Chloe. I like this dishevelled, out of bed thing you’ve got going on.’ He grunts as Tate thumps him in the stomach.
‘You say another word and I’ll flatten you. Walk.’
