Rock with Me
“You’re gonna be great tonight, baby,” I whisper to him. He smirks, but I know he’s a little nervous.
“Wear something sexy for me.” He smacks my ass as I walk away.
“Yoga pants it is!” I call over my shoulder and wave as he laughs and closes the door behind him.
“Hey guys!” I call out, set my over night bag on Jules’ bed, along with everyone else’s it seems, and saunter into the bathroom. “It looks like a beauty supply store has exploded in here.”
“You’re here!” Natalie kisses my cheek happily. Stacy and Brynna are hunched over the sink, studiously applying makeup.
“This is a rock concert, you know. You’ll sweat a lot of that makeup off.”
“No I won’t.” Stacy laughs. “I don’t sweat. I glisten.”
Meg laughs. “Just wear waterproof everything, you’ll be fine.”
She looks awesome. Her hair is a riot of red and blonde curls, and she’s added purple streaks around her face.
Jules and Natalie have both gone for the long, sleek straight look with their hair.
“Sit,” Jules instructs me.
“I can do my own hair.” I scowl. “I’ve been doing it for a long time.”
“Don’t be a pussy. I’ll do something really awesome.”
“Gee, great. Just don’t rat it like the hair bands from the 80’s.”
Jules grins and pushes me into a chair, reaches for her flat iron and gets to work.
“Sam, how do you like your new job?” Stacy asks and smiles over at me.
“I love it.” I grin as I think of my new job at Wine Northwest, a popular magazine that showcases wines and wineries in the Northwest.
“Do you get to sample the goods?” Jules asks as she rubs some sort of gel shit in my hair.
“Actually, yes. It’s awesome.”
“Good for you.” Nat finishes her lipstick and primps her hair. She doesn’t even look pregnant yet. “We’re proud of you.”
“Thanks, it’s just a relief to be employed again.”
“Is Leo nervous about tonight?” Brynna asks, catching my eye in the mirror.
“He says he’s not, but I think he might be a little. This is their first show in almost six months.”
“Plus, it’s home turf, so it means more,” Meg agrees. “He’s probably acting all badass, but his stomach is going crazy.”
“Poor guy.” Stacy laughs. “God, I hope he goes shirtless tonight.”
“Can you arrange that, Sam?” Nat asks with a giggle. “God, those stars.” She fans her face with her hand and giggles.
“I’ll put in the request,” I respond dryly. Of course he’ll go shirtless. This is Leo Nash.
I can’t wait.
“Brynna, you look hot,” Jules comments and continues to tug on my head.
“Thanks.” Brynna winks.
Jules is right; Brynna looks great. Her curvy body looks fantastic in her skinny jeans and shiny black, low cut top.
“Sex agrees with her.” Stacy smirks and I feel my eyes go wide.
“No way!”
Brynna blushes and lowers her gaze for just a moment and then turns around to face the room with a happy smile.
“You’re getting your orgasms!” Natalie exclaims happily.
“Boy am I.” Brynna nods. “I can safely say the Montgomery men give some amazing orgasms.” Both Stacy and Meg nod in agreement and I laugh, relieved that Jules has let go of my hair so I don’t get burned.
“Oh my God! That’s so great!” Jules rushes around me to hug Brynna and then scowls. “Wait. Ew. That’s my brother. Yuck.”
“Jules, I hate to break it to you, but your brothers have sex.” I grin and pour myself a flute of champagne from a bottle on the sink.
“They have really, really great sex.” Meg applies her lip-gloss and blots her lips. “Really great.”
“If he hurts you, I’ll fucking kill him,” Jules makes a fist and holds it to her chest, like she’s going to knock someone out.
“You always say that.” Nat rolls her eyes and hugs Brynna. “Good for you.”
“Yeah, well, he’s a complete stubborn ass, and he’s made it clear that it’s just sex and he’s making sure that the kids and me are safe.” She shrugs, but can’t disguise the sadness in her beautiful brown eyes. “But the orgasms rock.”
“Here, have some liquor.” I top off her glass. “You look hot tonight. We’re gonna have a blast. Caleb is going to swallow his tongue when he sees you.”
“Why are the guys going, anyway?” Stacy asks. “I thought this was supposed to be girls night out.”
“I don’t know.” Jules shrugs. “They like the music.”
“I wish Will didn’t have to go out of town this weekend.” Meg frowns.
“We’ll send him pictures.” Nat assures her. “We’ll take pics of us from the front row, flirting with the security guards, trying to get back stage.”
“Uh, Nat.” I chuckle and shake my head. “We’re with the band. We don’t have to flirt with security.”
“Well, what fun is that?” She scowls, and we all laugh at her.
“There, your hair is perfect.” Jules teases one more strand in the front and backs away. “Go check it out.”
She did a good job. She’s made my shoulder-length blonde hair look choppy and messy in a rocker kind of way. How she managed to do that with a flat iron and some gel stuff is beyond me.
“Thanks.” I grin. “You know, if that whole investment banking shit doesn’t work out, you could totally do hair.”
“I’ll keep it in mind,” she replies sarcastically as I reach for my makeup bag and dig in, with Brynna hovering close by, giving me pointers on making my eyes smokey. Finally, after what seems like forever, Brynna, and the rest of the girls, are satisfied with my face.
“I’m getting dressed,” Jules announces.
“Me too.” I follow her into the bedroom and pull my tight, thigh-length silver-studded black dress over my hips. It has a deep V neckline, showing off my boobs, thanks to a really great push-up bra.
“Holy fuck, you’re hot.” Jules is staring at me, her mouth open. “What shoes are you wearing?”
I pull my super-strappy black heels out of my bag and hold them up smugly. “Fuck me shoes.”
