Star-Crossed Myth | Valentine’s Day On Earth (NSFW)

SUMMARY: Along with the other fallen Gods of the Zodiac, their Minister of the Crown Alopex, Goddess of Seduction, Ruler of Vulpecula, and younger sister of Leon must continue to fulfill her duties to the King of the Heavens. This includes her duties to Earth on what the humans refer to as ‘Valentine’s Day,’ even though her punishment also included the removal of her wings. Weakened by the Mark of Sin, she is accompanied by Partheno, The God of Love, and supervised by her own Gods of Wishes and Punishments, as well as the Reincarnated Goddess to ensure her job is pulled off as flawlessly as possible. Will her hard work allow her to absolve her sins and return to the Heavens? And will her true love, Scorpio, ever forgive her for what she had to do to earn her fall from the Heavens?

Dionyssa met Scorpio and Zyglavis at the reflection pool with Alopex hot on her heels. Zyglavis immediately handed a file to his superior and waited for her to read it over.

"Excuse me?" her eyes flashed pink immediately.

"What?" Scorpio's head whipped up at the sound of her voice. "You can't give her that one!" Was the King purposely trying to drive her insane?

"I have direct orders," he lowered his eyes.

"He's having way too much fun with this shit!" she yelled up into the air.    

"Let's assess the situation first," Zyglavis moved his hand across the water. As it rippled, they arrived at a scene.

"The husband is mentally and physically abusing his wife," Alopex was seething. Her eyes glowed pink as they continue to watch. The man had finished beating his wife into submission before soothing her and offering her diamonds and jewels. "This is the cruelest form of seduction," her body burst forth into pink flames as her hair too began to turn pink.

Scorpio and Zyglavis looked at one another, questioningly.

"Remember the rules, Alopex," Zyglavis reminded her.

She stared at the reflection for a moment before placing her hand on Dionyssa's shoulder. She waved her hand, forming a huge pink plume of smoke before snapping her fingers.

"Next," she returned to normal before glancing up at Zyglavis.

"Wh... what did you do?" Dionyssa asked.

"He was suddenly overcome by a raging virus. His throat is swollen, so he cannot speak. His body is weak, so he cannot physically hurt her. When she begrudgingly takes him to the hospital, someone will notice her wounds and report him to the authorities. She will be single and living on her own by the next full moon," she snapped her tongue. "Next."

"That was pure genius," Scorpio gave her a smile. “You are the master.”

Zyglavis handed her the next file. She sighed and returned to the reflecting pool before once again placing her hand on Dionyssa's shoulder. The scene this time was of a young woman who was jealous of the attention her crush had on another. She was about to post fake images of her rival on social media just as Alopex snapped her fingers. Before the lady could stop, she had posted images of herself instead.

"Wow," Dionyssa threw her hand over her mouth.

"That is a just punishment," Zyglavis smirked.

"I've got the next one," Scorpio placed his hand on Dionyssa’s shoulder and waved his hand, producing the scene of an angry wife. She had just found out, before Valentine's Day, that her husband was cheating on her with their babysitter. She was in the process of slashing his tires when Scorpio lifted his hand.

"Wait," Alopex stopped him. "Hasn't she been punished enough?"

"This isn't right," he frowned.

She turned her eyes to his. "She deserves a bit of leniency, given the circumstances."

"What would you suggest?"

"She still needs to be punished," Zyglavis spoke up.

"She does," she waved her hand over the reflection, creating a whirlpool of pink water. Scorpio noticed that she wasn't touching Dionyssa, as did she. Her eyes glowed bright pink as she whispered into the water. "No man is worth your dignity. Walk away from him, and never look back."

The woman stopped suddenly, as if she had heard Alopex's words. She slowly rose to her feet, wiped her tears, dropped the knife into the nearest trash can, and walked off.

"Punish her as you see fit," she stared at the reflection before turning to leave.

Scorpio quickly snapped his fingers, causing the police to show up before she could get away. She was going to be punished by the local authorities, but it would be up to the husband to press charges.

.

Dionyssa walked down the hall toward Leon's room to find Scorpio staring out the window at the end of the hall. He suddenly turned to run down the stairs.

"What the hell is..." Leon walked up behind her and placed his hands on her shoulder, when he looked out to the courtyard and saw his sister sitting under the gazebo, on a bench, her knees in her chest and arms over her head as she faced away.  As Scorpio slowly walked up behind her, he sighed. "Oh."

.        

Scorpio sat down next to Alopex and waited a moment before speaking. "Did you mean what you said?"

She sighed, refusing to let him see her cry. She remained where she was, facing away as she answered. "It's the logical thing to do."

"It is," he bit his lip as he watched the back of her head. "Why doesn't it feel right, then?"

"If logic hurts this badly... I suppose the only answer is to be illogical," she rolled her eyes. "I'm screwed either way," she half-laughed.

"Can I please... see your face before I pour my heart out to you?" he reached for her shoulder.

She closed her eyes and sighed before turning to face him.

He saw her tear-stained cheeks and frowned. "Vix..." it broke his heart to see her so sad. He then moved her cape aside to glance at the mark on her shoulder. "You did that for me?"

"It doesn't matter. My choice was my own. I took a chance... and made a grave error in judgement."

"I missed you," he whispered. "I missed you so freaking much," he sighed. "I honestly never thought I'd see you again."

"And I never gave up," tears again betrayed her. "I'm pathetic."

"No," he reached for her hand. "You're strong... so much stronger than I am."

"No..."

"You're beautiful, and you're intelligent, and so confident... and I love you so fucking much."        

She lost her breath as she looked into his eyes.

As their lips came together, a pink shockwave flew out from them in all directions.      

.

"What was that?" Dionyssa caught her breath.

"When two Gods are truly in love, it changes them. That was their hearts, beating as one. Look," he pointed to the flowers, peeking up through the snow, blooming right before their eyes.

"How beautiful," she cuddled into him as he kissed her forehead.

.

"That should have been our first kiss," Scorpio whispered.

She looked up into his eyes as she placed her right hand over his heart. A smile spread across her face as she leaned in to kiss him again.

"As pissed off as I am that you sinned to get here, I am so happy to see you again."

"I feel responsible for you being here."                    

"No..."

"I pushed you to complete those missions for the King when I knew you didn't want to. You were trying to pull away from that life. It was becoming too much like your past life as a human, and I..."      

"It's over," he whispered. "Right now, you should focus on resting up for tomorrow."

She sighed as she dropped her eyes.      

"Hey," he lifted her chin to look into her eyes. "I'll be right here, cheering you on and waiting for you to return. I'm not going anywhere ever again. I love you."

"I love you," she pressed her lips against his.

                                                         ❤︎

“I have to work tomorrow. I might be able to take you out for a quick meal, but I need to keep an eye on my sister,” Leon sighed as he ran his fingers through Dionyssa’s hair.

“What are you saying?” she looked up at him.

“Romance tonight… holiday tomorrow.”

“Oh?” he ears perked up. “Okay… I left your gifts at home anyway.”

“You bought me gifts?” he smirked at her. 

“Of course I did. It’s Valentine’s Day.”

“You never cease to amaze me,” he leaned down to kiss her, pulling her into his room with a slam of the door behind them. He ran his hands up her arms as the most powerful sensations she had ever felt slammed through her body.

“Ah!” she threw her head back as he smiled. He loved using his powers on her. “We’re not going out first?”

“That’s tomorrow night,” he kissed her.

“And this is tonight,” she pushed against him as her bodily responses sped into overdrive.

A guttural growl rumbled from deep in his chest as they pounced on one another, grabbing at clothes and throwing them away while making their way to the bed.

He always had to remind himself to be gentle and to hold back. Humans were much more fragile than the Goddesses he had been with in the past. It would devastate him to kill his woman in the heat of passion.

Every God in the house suddenly looked up toward Leon’s room, bursting into a bright smile before going back to their own business. Alopex grinned as she walked down the hall toward the baths.

“He is definitely my brother,” she grinned as Ichthys followed her.

Scorpio looked up from reading over paperwork to see Teorus tiptoe after them. “Dipshits,” he mumbled before retuning his attention to the papers.

                                                        ❤︎

Dionyssa opened her eyes very early the next morning to find Leon gone. She quickly dressed and walked out to find all 18 of the top-tier Gods in a circle, with Alopex in the middle.

Each of them raised their hand and pointed their palms toward her as her mark began to change. The sun circling the raven completely disappeared, and the raven itself faded to a light gray. Alopex closed her eyes in pain for only a moment, but when she opened them, they were pure, crystal pink as her hair drained of all color, leaving it a silvery white. This is why she was also known as Vixen, for she was The White Fox.  

Her body began to levitate as her clothes changed into a deep purple gown adorned in stars and trimmed in white fox fur with a wide silver belt wrapped around her waist.

She lowered back to her feet and looked down at her hands for a moment, letting her body get used to wielding her powers once again before looking up to Zyglavis and nodding.

Partheno stepped up and knelt before her. "My Lady, I am ready."

She took his hand and nodded before glancing at Scorpio. Dionyssa swore she saw him smile for the first time--ever.        

"24 hours is yours, Goddess," Zyglavis bowed to her.

"Shall we then?" she let out a deep breath just before disappearing.

.

Leon quickly grabbed Dionyssa's hand and teleported them to the fountain in his room. "You have to see this. It's the most incredible sight in universe."

She raised her eyebrows as he waived his hand across the fountain and watched Partheno and Alopex fly through the city. She waved her hand, producing pink dust that found its way to anyone who needed it.

Occasionally, she would land to observe people for a moment. If she decided they needed an extra push, she would touch one half of the couple and then form an arrow of light. Like Cupid, she would shoot the other half straight into the heart and then leave, smiling, as her magic was left to work.

"I taught her that," Tauxolouve grinned from over Dionyssa's shoulder.

.        

"You are so good at this," Partheno grinned at her.

"Losing my wings wasn't as big a problem as I thought," she sighed. "I still miss them, though."

"You're still you, Alo."

"Thank you," she looked around and turned to find a large area in which she was needed. She burst into pink flames as she slowly walked through the crowd and, touching one by one, blessed them with just the amount of love and peace they needed to accomplish their love goals for that night.

.        

"Damn, she's beautiful," they looked up to see Scorpio watching from next to Huedhaut.

Leon slowly turned to him. "So, you finally did it, huh?"

"Is that a problem?"

"It's a huge problem," he growled, "but if you make my sister happy, I can overlook it."

"I'm not sure of anything as long as we're trapped on this damn rock, but... yeah. Eternity with my Vixen sounds pretty freakin' awesome."

"Enough with the pet names," he rolled his eyes. "Do whatever the hell you want."

Dionyssa waited a while before asking a question that had weighed on her mind. "If she's your younger sister... why does she outrank you?"

The other Gods froze, smiles on their faces as they looked up and waited for Leon's answer.

"Because of that," he pointed into the reflecting pool. "She can read what is truly in a heart... and I've never really cared before..."

He stopped speaking, but she knew what he meant. He didn't care about love until he met her.

.

That night, Leon treated Dionyssa to a nice restaurant and a bit of shopping, human things that she seemed to like, before they returned to the mansion. With it being such a big day for both departments, she sat back and resumed her watch over Alopex as the remaining Gods caught up on paperwork and waited.

.

As the sun rose the next morning, the door opened and everyone who had been waiting sat up straight. Dionyssa was apparently sound asleep with her head in Leon's lap (how embarrassing!), but the Gods all bowed to her.

"Thank you," she smiled for them.

"For you," Huedhaut handed her glass of wine.

"I'm going to need it..." she suddenly lost her breath as she doubled over in pain. Scorpio was there in a second, holding her hand as her mark reappeared in full. Her hair and eyes slowly returned to normal, as her purple gown disappeared, and a peach and gold single-shouldered silk tunic took its place.

"I've got'cha," Scorpio whispered gently to her as she returned to her feet.

She took a few breaths before clearing her throat and drinking down her wine.

Once the Goddess had taken the first sip, the Gods raised their cups and toasted her. "To Alopex!"

"I really missed you guys," she broke into laughter as they all followed.

That's about the time Dionyssa woke up and looked around.

.

"You had fun. Admit it, you tooootaly did," Ichthys grinned at Alopex.

"It was different," she spoke slowly. "Having Partheno there to spot what I missed, not having my wings... having a set timeframe... It was strange," she relaxed.

"I'm just glad you were respectful enough not to pull any pranks this year," Zyglavis spoke to Ichthys.

Ichthys dropped his mouth open to mock offense as Leon and Alopex both nodded in agreement.

"Last year was messy, Ik," Scorpio agreed.

"But you're still talking about it," he smirked proudly.

"Because of the carnage," Dui's eyes widened in terror. "I still have nightmares."

"You don't sleep!" he pushed him away playfully. "Besides, Alo totally has the authority to kill me and let's face it, Zig and Scorpy would be more than happy to oblige."

"True," they spoke at the same time.

"It's called self-preservation. I won't crap on the boss lady's holy day... while she's on Earth and can reach me."

"You're a shit," she laughed before elbowing him.

Scorpio silently looked her over for a moment. "You should probably rest."

"I feel fine," she met his eyes while taking a long drink from her cup.

"I don't recall asking how you feel, Goddess," he growled lowly.

She licked the wine from her lips before turning to walk toward her room.

Scorpio watched her walk off for a moment before following her.

                                                      ❤︎

Alopex walked up to her bed and stopped as she stared off out the window and waited. Two warm hands slowly reached up her shoulders and moved her hair off over her right shoulder.

Scorpio smiled before kissing her neck. "Your thoughts are much less crazy today."

"And your heart is racing," she tilted her head, giving him better access.

He pushed her gown off her shoulder and looked down to see her mark before glancing up at her. "It's gotten lighter again," he whispered.        

"I don't care," she turned to push his jacket off of his shoulders.

"Woah, slow the hell down," he raised his voice.      

"You apparently don't know what it's like to have that much love, seduction, and lust coursing through your veins for an entire day," she kissed him roughly.

"Show me," he grinned as her gown fell to her feet.

She threw his white cotton shirt open, sending buttons flying everywhere before reaching for his pants.

"Wait, these frickin' boots..."

"You can keep the boots on," she sucked his bottom lip into her mouth as he pulled his shirt off and threw it across the room.

"Damn it, woman. You can't say things like that and not expect consequences," he pushed her onto the bed and quickly unlaced his black boots before kicking out of his white uniform pants and crawling across to meet her. He kissed his way up her body as she threw her head back and smiled. "You'll let me know if you get tired, right?"

 "I'm planning on making love to you until I drop," she grinned brightly as he stopped at the mark on her shoulder and slowly pressed his lips against it. "And I've got the whole day off, so..."

He grinned evilly before looking up at her. "I love you," he whispered.

"I love you," she replied quietly.

"This," he took her right hand and placed it over his heart, "beats only for you now."

Her eyes glowed pink for a moment before she looked straight into his eyes. His response was to slip his tongue between her full, pink lips and search out her sweet mouth.

She opened her eyes briefly to see him staring back at her before brushing her tongue against his. It was then that she felt his throbbing bulge pressing into her lower belly. She closed her eyes and tilted her head up to give him easier access as she pushed her hips into his. That was all the encouragement he needed before he carefully, slowly, pushed his way inside her.

He pushed up onto his hands to hover over her, taking in the sight of her auburn waves splayed around her head, her soft white skin reflecting the light of the morning sun, and her eyes, the color of the sunset, sparkling up into his. He wanted to remember everything about this moment, from the sounds that she made to her smells, and everything in between.

Finally, there was nothing between them. After decades of wanting her, she was his.

She brought her knees up as her fingers brushed up his back, slowly, and up to his shoulders. He growled deeply as he began to move, sliding against her as she closed her eyes and gasped in pleasure. Pushing up to his knees, he pulled her up with him and leaned back, opening her hips wide to deepen his penetration.

In no time at all, she was pulling at his hair, pulsating around him as her orgasm slammed through her body.

“I've been waiting so frickin' long to feel you do that,” he kissed her ear.

“Please do it again,” she brushed her nose against his.

“Yes, My Goddess,” he pulled her bottom lip into his mouth as he fell back with her atop and pushed up into her hips while pulling them toward him with his hands.

She placed her right hand on his chest and her left hand over his right as she pumped her legs, rising and falling onto him. Again, her body exploded into orgasmic bliss as she threw her head back to catch her breath.

In a flash, he pushed up and turned her around, pressing his hips into the back of hers as she pressed her back into his belly. “This isn’t slow,” she giggled.

“It can be,” he pulled her hair over her shoulder and kissed it while pressing his rock-hard erection into her from behind. He wouldn’t allow her to fall onto her hands, he kept his arms securely around her as he thrust as deeply as he could into her.

As he felt his release nearing, he slipped his right hand down between her thighs and moved his fingers over the most sensitive spot on her body. She reached up to grab his hair as her breathing increased and let his name escape her lips.

They both erupted into bliss and struggled to catch their breath as Scorpio looked down and frowned. Alopex felt him pull back and freeze. She closed her eyes and bit her lip as she felt his fingertips gently brush over the smooth, thin skin of one of the two long, wide scars between her shoulder blades.

"That bastard," he growled. "I didn't realize he..."

"It only took one swipe," she pulled away and fell to the bed. "I suppose I should be thankful for at least that."

"We're going to get them back," he hovered over her for a moment before placing a sweet kiss over one of them. "I swear, Vix. I'll do anything to get them back," he kissed the second scar.

She pushed him onto his side and turned to her side to look into his eyes. "No. That's exactly what he wants. He will use them to get his way again. I don't even want to know what he wants in exchange for them."    

He brought his hand up to her cheek as she pressed her forehead against his. "Show me," he whispered.

She closed her eyes as he did the same. At that moment, she offered her memory to him.

.

"You are hereby banished to Earth until such time as you are absolved of your sin!" The King announced before waving his hand, creating the mark on her shoulder. She looked down through tears of pain before looking up at him. "Am I to join the others?"

"You are," he watched her a moment. "However, your position in my court demands a more severe punishment than the others. I believe forfeiture of your wings would teach a far better lesson than simply falling from grace."

"No!" she lifted her palm toward him, but nothing happened. She turned her head to see a guard step toward her as she turned to punch him square in the nose. She then turned to kick another across the jaw before pulling her arm away from another and elbowing him in the chest.

Before she knew it, four guards had ahold of her as four more forced her to extend her wings. She screamed in anger as The King walked toward her, brandishing the Sword of Sovereignty.

"Alopex, Guardian of the Constellation Vulpecula, Advisor of the The King of the Heavens, Minister of the Crown, and Goddess of Seduction..." he paused. "You have been found guilty of severing a Holy Marriage of the Heavens, for using your powers for your own selfish benefit, and for defying your King!"

With the mark sealing her powers, she was helpless against the eight Gods holding her down. She panted, despair filling her soul as she glanced up one last time to see Zyglavis, Karno, Tauxolouve, Partheno, Aigonorus, and Krioff, and the Gods of the Department of Prayers, Lyra, Caelum, Pyxis, Lagós, Kynigós, and Vélos watching. They were caught between loyalty to their superior and friend and fealty to their King.

She shook her head slowly as her eyes flashed pink, giving them no question as to what they were to do-- stand by and do nothing.

With one strike of his sword, feathers went flying as her beautiful, bright white wings exploded into light. Intense pain filled Alopex just before she passed out in shock.

.

She opened her eyes to find Scorpio's staring back at her, full of angry tears.

"That sonova-"

"It's done," she whispered before kissing him. (We're so close to being home. Please don't make me lose you again.)

His eyes widened as he pulled back and stared at her. (You're a fucking idiot.)

Her eyes widened as she blinked once. (And you're an asshole.)

He burst into laughter before kissing her. "Well then..."

"We're sharing powers now?" she grinned.    

"I think they combined to make... this," he brushed his thumb down her cheek before pulling away and looking down at her.

"We have to be touching," she pushed him over onto his back before climbing up to straddle him. (Like this.) She kissed him before slowly moving her lips down his body.

"Mmm," he breathed. (Gods yes, woman. Lower. Keep going...)

She looked up with a grin. (And what if I stop right now?)

"Aw shit!" he rolled his eyes. "This is gonna take some getting used to." (But seriously, lower.)

She sucked the skin on his belly into her mouth and bit down gently.

"Ow!" he laughed.

                                                        ❤︎

Ichthys laughed at a joke that Dui had told before glancing up as the Door to the Heavens opened. He immediately caught the bright blue eyes of his beloved and burst into a bright grin before jumping to his feet and running up to her.

“What the hell are you doing here?” he squealed.

“Shhh… I can’t stay long. I stole a ring from Uncle Uranus to stabilize my powers.”

“You are going to get in so much trouble!” he grinned before pulling her down to his room. “He’ll never let me see you again.”

“Then let’s make it count,” she pressed her lips against his and pushed him into his room.

.

“Well crap,” Leon glanced up at Ziglavis. “That won’t end well.”

“I’m sure The King already knows.”

“At least she won’t punished as severely as he will be. The Council of Elders would never allow the Crown Princess to be marked.”

“There will be some type of consequence. There always is.”

They both nodded before tipping back their heads.

.

“I miss you so much, Ik,” Kerasea kissed him.

“I miss you too, My Goddess,” he pushed her gown from her shoulders, releasing her from the confines of her clothing.

She turned around and let the material pool at her feet while looking him straight in the eye. She then raised her hands and grinned as his clothing fell away from his body at once.

“I love it when you do that,” he growled pushing himself against her bare body. “I miss my powers sooooo much.”

“Keep working, you’ll be home again before you know it,” she sighed as he kissed her neck.

“Keep telling yourself that,” he sighed, clamping his eyes shut and pushing the thoughts far away.

“How soundproof are these walls?”

“Dionyssa can’t hear through them, but we can,” he grinned. “Let them hear what I can have and they can’t.”

She ran her fingertips down his cheek, grazing his skin with her nails as she continued down his neck. His body lurched as a gurgle formed deep within his chest. He brought his fingers down her back and around her backside before pulling her up, her legs instinctively wrapping around his waist as he pushed his way inside her.

She threw her head back and gasped at the feeling.

“Louder,” he tugged on her hair with a gleam in his eye.

She pushed against his shoulders and arched her back as he pulled her hips sharply against his, repeating the action until she yelled out his name repeatedly and her body quivered around his.

“I love it when you say my name,” he brushed his nose against hers before falling onto the bed with her atop him.

“And I love making you… beg,” she kissed his chest, working her way down his body until he was gasping for breath.

“Please stop teasing,” he grasped his fingers into her light blonde hair. “Either take me with your mouth or your body, but do it now!”

She looked up at him, an ornery gleam in her eyes as she smiled at him, her wings bursting out around her as she sighed softly.

“Imp,” he complained.

She waved her hand, his own flying over his head onto the bed. He was unable to move them.

“Kera,” his eyes widened as his heart beat wildly against his chest. “That’s not fair.”

With that, she impaled herself onto him, his arms and legs immediately releasing to hold her as they began to elevate above the bed. She dug her fingers into his shoulders as she rocked her hips in a ferocious rhythm. He bit on the skin on her neck, leaving a mark as he pumped as deeply as he possibly could inside of her.

"Oh!" she let out a moan.

He breathed against her chest as he felt her insides beginning to clamp around him.

Silky white feathers floated all around them as their bodies erupted in sheer pleasure. Their skin glistened with drops of sweat as they fought to settle their breathing while slowly lowering back to the bed.

“Thank you for coming to see me,” he murmured against her lips.

“Watching Alo on her day is always a bit… erotic.”

“She has awesome natural powers,” he smiled. “I’ve always been jealous.”

“Don’t be. Yours are…”

“Gone. They’re gone,” he sighed.

“Ikky,” she pouted. “You’re still you and I love you.”

He smirked before leaning up to kiss her. “And I love you, My Goddess.”

“You’re sure it’s not too much?” the brown-eyed brunette looked at herself in the mirror of the public restroom.

“Would you stop worrying? You look hot,” her redheaded friend, Samantha, adjusted her skirt.

“Okay, Riley. Let’s close our eyes and imagine one of your Dad’s models,” her blonde-headed friend, Brenna, applied lipstick to her full, red lips.

“Ugh, okay. I look fine,” she laughed as the three young ladies walked out into the arena.

As they walked down the steps toward the stage, each placed their visitor pass around their necks. Riley took one last look at her best friends before stepping up to the security guard.

“Pass?”

“Right here,” she flashed her laminate at him. He then looked over the other two ladies.  “Do you know if the band are meeting before or after the show?”

He pointed over his shoulder to a man standing next to a door. “Ask him.”

“Right,” she huffed before walking past him.

“Passes?” the man spoke with a British accent.

Again, Riley held her pass up. “Should we come back now, or after the show?”

“How did you get VIP passes?”

“The company I work for,” she answered. “So?”

“Probably now,” he stepped back to let them in.

.

There were people everywhere under the stage as they followed yet another man through the halls and doorways. Finally, they made it to the greenroom where a few other people had gathered.

“Wow, Riley. What brings you here?” a radio DJ asked.

“I can be a fan, can’t I Randy?”

“Well… sure. But couldn’t you just have the Dad…”

“No talk about my father tonight, please. I’m here to have fun.”

“I’m all for that!” a loud British voice belted from the doorway.

“Oh my Lord,” Brenna nearly fell over at the sight of him.

“Tell me about it,” Samantha fanned herself with her hand.

“Ladies, welcome,” the lead singer walked in and looked them over. “Joe Elliott.”

“Pleasure,” Riley shook his hand. “I’m Riley, these are Sammy and Brenna.”

“Lovely,” he flirted with them.

Soon, there were two other men in the room and they too had lovely accents.

“So where are you from?” Sav asked them.

“I was born in Chicago, but I live with my father here in LA,” Riley answered.

“Yeah, we all work for him,” Samantha offered.

“Really? What does he do?” Rick Allen asked.

“Photography,” Brenna answered as Riley smiled and looked away.

“We have arrived!”

The entire room looked toward the door as the two blond men stepped in. Riley’s heart nearly flipped as she gazed at the shorter of the two. He had on a pair of tight jeans and a yellow tank top that showed a nice tuft of chest hair over the top.

“Yo, Earth to Riley,” Samantha laughed as Brenna handed her a beer.

“Phil, c’mere,” Rick waved him over. “These are Riley, Sammy and… Brenna?”

“Very good,” Brenna nodded her head.

“Pleasure,” he shook each of their hands, but stopped when he noticed Riley. “Riley, is it?”

“Yes,” she smiled at him. “And you’re Phil I take it?”

“Yeah, Phil Collen. And the bloke with no tan over there’s me mate Steve.”

Samantha and Brenna looked at Rick and giggled at the fact that neither of them realized they were still shaking hands.

“All right lads, let’s get ready!” their manager called from the door.

“Well, got’a go. Will you be at the meet ‘n greet after the show?”

“Probably not,” Riley sighed. “I’ve got a really early day ahead of me tomorrow.”

“Oh… well then…” he cleared his throat. “Can I at least ‘ave your number? I’m just interested in seeing what you think about the show.”

“Uh, huh,” Brenna covered her mouth to stifle a laugh.

“Sure,” she pulled a piece of paper from her purse and quickly jotted down her number.

“Thanks, Riley,” he smiled at her. “Enjoy the show.”

“I’m sure she will,” Samantha mumbled as she and Brenna broke up in laughter.

.

After the show, the girls left the arena in the limo, Def Leppard tunes cranked up as loud as the speakers would handle. One by one, the driver dropped them off until he ended his route.

As Riley stepped out of the car, she stopped and smiled. “Thanks for putting up with us, Don. We had a great time tonight.”

“Any time, Miss Riley.”

“Goodnight,” she nodded before stepping up to the huge stone steps of the house.

As she walked in, she noticed a few women scurry past to see who it was. As usual, Riley only shook her head and sighed. She then walked down the hall to the huge movie room and looked in. “I’m home. Night, Daddy.”

“Did you have fun?” he looked up from his seat in the smack dab middle of four blondes.

“I did. Thanks for waiting up for me.”

“Any time, pumpkin,” he winked.

“Night.”

“Night.”

The Playboy 5

Robert walked into the meet ‘n greet after the show to see Sav and Rick signing autographs.

“Where are the others?”

“Disneyland,” Sav huffed.

“But…”

“Don’t ask,” Rick pouted as he walked to the next fan.

.

“I had no idea there was a private bar ‘ere,” Steve looked out the window from where he sat and viewed the grounds of Disneyland in all it’s lighted glory.

“I’ve learned quite a bit t’day,” Joe smiled brightly.

“Such as?” Phil returned from the dance floor, holding Riley’s hand tightly.

“Just… odds and ends,” he mused.

“Would you like to dance?” Brenna flashed her green eyes at him.

“Absolutely,” he nearly pulled her onto the floor.

“What about you, blondie?” Samantha waited on Steve.

“I’m game,” he followed her out.

“Looks like they’re having fun,” Riley smiled at Phil as she sipped on her glass of wine.

“What about you?” he smiled.

“A blast,” she grinned as he leaned across the table to kiss her.

Joe peeked over Brenna’s shoulder and yelled out a big, “YES!!!”

“What was that?” she laughed.

“I’m just… very ‘appy to see me mate… ‘appy,” he pulled her closer to him as they danced.

“Un, huh,” she watched him. “You know, don’t you?”

“Yup!”

“Does Phil know?”

“Know what?” Steve barged into their conversation.

“Oh no,” Samantha stopped dancing.

“Riley’s last name is Hefner,” Joe enlightened him.

“As in… Hugh?” his eyes widened.

“And again I ask, does Phil know?” Brenna crossed her arms.

“No,” Steve shook his head. “I’m sure ‘e doesn’t.”

.

Phil pulled away from Riley and sat back in his seat. “You know, I had my reservations about tonight.”

“You did? Why?”

“I thought maybe you’d end up bein’ some… stuck up snob.”

She smiled at him. “I’ll let you in on a little secret.”

“What’s that?”

“I use what I earn from my Dad’s magazine to pay my driver and rent for my room. I worked my way through college as a bar tender and I’ve never asked for a cent from him. Not many people know that, not even my older sister Christie.”

“That’s amazing, Riley. I’m… I’m really impressed.”

“Well, I’m not trying to impress you, I just… thought you should know.”

He smiled as he rubbed his fingers across hers. “So… what magazine do you work for?”

“P…”

“You two look like you’re having a great time,” Joe interrupted them.

“Why don’t we take this party up to our suite?” Brenna downed her drink.

“Bar’s fully stocked and the view’s even better than this one,” Samantha smiled at Steve.

Riley looked at Phil and waited.

“Sure,” they all followed the girls out.

The Playboy 4

“Hey Mate, you got a Playboy?” Joe whispered to Sav as they waited for sound check to begin.

“Excuse me?” he nearly spat his water through his nose. “You that worked up?”

“No! I just need to see something.”

“What, read an article?” he teased as Rick walked into the room.

“Rick,” he whispered into his ear.

“No,” he answered slowly. “You might check with the crew.”

“Thanks, Mate,” he patted his shoulder before bolting for the door.

“What was that about?” he asked Sav.

“Guess he needs a pre-gig wank?”

Both men were laughing as Phil walked in with Steve close behind him.

“Are those three goddesses out there with you?” Sav asked Phil.

“Well, the brunette is. The others are just taggin’.”

“Ah,” all of the men in the room smiled.

“Mind if I tag?” Rick asked.

“Sorry. Steve ‘an Joe ‘ave already called dibs.”

Steve grinned as the others flipped him off.

“Thank you!” Joe quickly opened the magazine and skimmed through the first few pages. He finally came to the publishing staff and ran his finger down the list of names. “Riley… Riley… Riley… Riley Hefner, Editor,” he grinned from ear to ear.

“What is it?” Steve’s guitar tech, Malvin looked over his shoulder.

“Just realizing that there is a God, and ‘e loves me,” he winked before walking off.

“Hey!” he called out after him. “Come back with me Playboy!”

.

The three ladies sat in one of the many front rows, and listened as the band warmed up. After realizing they couldn’t see the stage very well, they walked toward the back of the convention center.

“So,” Brenna finally decided to ask. “When are you planning to tell him who you are?”

“You don’t think he’s figured it out?” she crossed her arms.

“I’m not sure,” Samantha answered.

“I’m not really in a rush,” she flipped her hair over her shoulder. “It’s nice to be treated as a person and not ‘Hef’s Daughter’ for a change.”

“So you’re gonna wait until you sleep with him and then spring it on him?” Brenna pushed the issue.

“Who says it’s even going to go that far?”

“The look in your eyes when you talk to him,” Samantha laughed. “You’ve got it bad.”

“I hardly know him,” she waved them off. “Besides, my last… mistake, only wanted me for my father’s parties. And I caught the one before that in the game room with two centerfolds. I have to make sure I can trust him first.”

“But he’s so sweet,” Samantha cooed. “Did you see the way he was staring at you throughout lunch?”

“Yes,” she smiled. “I may just have to throw my ‘No Rock Star’ rule out the door.”

“About time!” Brenna gave her a high-5.

.

“What is up with you?” Sav asked Joe while handing his bass guitar to his tech.

“Me? Nothin’.”

“You’ve been walkin’ around with a fuckin’ boner all afternoon!”

He leaned in and whispered into his ear.

“No shit?” he stopped and looked out into the empty seats. “That is so cool!”

“What?” Steve and Phil looked up from wiping their guitars down.

“You ‘ave to get us into a party, mate,” Sav grinned.

“Sav!” Joe slapped the back of his head.

“Party? What party?” Steve looked at Phil. “You holdin’ out on me?”

“No,” he frowned.

“Just… if you should ‘appen to get invited to a party, be sure to let us in,” Joe covered for him.

“Yeah, right,” he looked at Steve and made a swirl with his finger over his head.

The Playboy 3

“So, you like this Riley chick or what?” Joe asked as they waited at their table.

“Well… I just thought she was worth gettin’ to know a bit bet’er,” he shrugged his shoulders.

“Cool,” he nodded his head while looking over the menu.

.

Riley led Brenna and Samantha into the restaurant and to the maitre ‘D.

“Good afternoon, Miss Hefner.”

“Good afternoon, Hank. We’re joining the party for Collen.”

“Right this way.”

“Wow,” Joe’s eyes widened as his mouth flew open. “Mate, you are way out of your league.”

“Huh?” Phil looked up to see the very well manicured, extremely nicely dressed women walking toward them. “Crikey,” his eyes immediately fell to Riley’s long, well tanned legs covered only by a very short black leather mini-skirt.

“I hope you haven’t waited long,” she stopped at the table.

Joe noticed Phil staring at Riley and decided to speak for him. “No, luv. Just got ‘ere ourselves.”

“Great,” she peeked over her shoulder at Samantha, who was giggling at Phil.

“You all look wonderful,” Joe kissed each lady on the cheek.

“Thanks. Sammy thinks we look like Charlie’s Angels,” Brenna laughed as they all followed.

“Phil,” Joe mumbled before smacking him on the arm.

“Oh, sorry,” he quickly jumped to his feet and pulled a chair out for Riley.

“Thank you,” she grinned. “We went on a shopping spree this morning and lost track of time.”

“I’m not complaining, you look… absolutely stunning,” Phil winked at her.

Brenna and Samantha began to laugh as Riley blushed.

“Are you ladies staying somewhere, or going back tonight?” Joe rested his arm on the back of Brenna’s chair.

“We’re staying at Disneyland Park, its Riley’s favorite hotel,” Samantha nodded.

“Steve’s too,” Joe chuckled before taking a drink of his beer.

.

They chatted and told jokes throughout lunch; all while Joe and Phil were observing the girls closely. They couldn’t help but notice how well mannered and polite Riley was. And no matter what was said, not a single curse word passed her lips. She was truly a lady. A very sweet, beautiful, sexy, intelligent lady… and Phil was completely falling for her.

As they finished their meals, Phil glanced at his watch. “We’ve got sound check in a bit and then a few interviews before the show. Any plans?”

“I’m all yours,” Riley openly flirted with him, which surprised her friends to no end.

“Oh…” he smiled. “In that case… hows about you come along?”

“Sure,” Samantha and Brenna answered for her.

“Where’s the check?” Joe mumbled as they continued to wait.

“Oh, there won’t be one,” Riley explained. “My Dad’s a regular here and they always comp the bill.”

“Oh,” Phil glanced up at Joe. “Cool.”

“So I guess we’re following you?” Brenna flirted with Joe as they walked to the front of the restaurant.

“Yeah. If you can’t keep up, we’re goin’ to the Convention Center.”

“Oh, Don can hold his own,” Samantha pointed over her shoulder as a limo pulled up to the entrance.

“Don?” both men asked as a chauffeur hopped out and quickly opened the back door.

“My driver,” Riley nodded as Samantha and Brenna slipped into the limo. “We’ll meet you in a bit.”

“Right,” they watched as she joined them.

.

As the limo pulled out of the parking lot, Joe caught a glimpse of the car’s license plate that read ‘HEF 3’. Just as he took a double take, it turned a corner and drove off.

“You know Joe, I think you may be right,” Phil slipped his sunglasses on as they walked to their rental car.

“What’s that?”

“I think I may be gettin’ in way over me head with this one.”

“Yeah… but you like ‘er. Why don’t you just wait it out and see how it goes?”

“Maybe,” he sighed as he slid into the car and closed the door. “What if she’s one of those tight wenches that’s a total bore in bed?”

“Why don’t you just wait and find out, mate? I mean… no use in jumpin’ ahead of yourself, right?” he started the car and drove out of the parking lot.

“Right,” he nodded.

Riley sat over a lighted table the next morning and looked over proofs with a looking glass. She sighed as she clicked on her mini-recorder and spoke. “Bridgitte’s shoot, photo 22, it’s the best one on the roll, but will have to be touched up under her right nipple,” she clicked off her recorder and took a sip of her coffee.

“Riley, line five,” the receptionist called over the intercom.

“Riley,” she picked up.

“How does Bridgitte’s shoot look?”

“Are you still in bed?” she smiled as she spoke to her father.

“I’m working. See? I called you.”

She rolled her eyes, “Well, her shoot sucks. Lillian’s was great, I’ve got tons of print quality.”

“Fine,” he grunted. “Put ‘er on the cover.”

“After I get the bosses permission, big guy.”

“I am the boss!”

“Maybe you should pass that bit of news on to Christie, then.”

“Is she giving you a hard time again?”

“No, Dad. She just feels the need to constantly remind me where my place is in the company.”

“Hang in there, sweetheart. You just got your degree. We’ll see how you’re doing in a year or two and who knows… you may be a VP by 25.”

“Not if my sister has anything to do with it,” she picked at her nails. “But enough grumbling. I need to get back to work.”

“Keep working with those proofs, maybe something will reach out and grab you.”

“Oh yeah,” she laughed. “Bye.”

“Bye, Ri.”

She placed the receiver in its cradle and took a long drink of her coffee.

“Riley, line 3.”

“I told you I’d look at it, Dad!” she spat into the phone.

“Err… no.”

“Oh. Sorry,” she stood up straight. “And… who might this be?”

“Phil,” he waited.

She decided to be ornery. “Collins? Very cool, we’ve been trying to get an interview…”

“Very funny,” he laughed. “So how did you like the show last night?”

“Wow, it’s only 9 in the morning. Isn’t that a rock star’s bedtime?”

“You are quite the smart ass, Miss Riley,” he chuckled.

“Sorry, comes with the job. It was great, Phil. We had a lot of fun and you guys totally rocked. I wish we could have stayed, but I had to be here by 7:00 this morning.”

“What about tomorrow, then? We’ve got another show in Anaheim,” he waited.

She looked up to see Brenna walk in with a folder of proofs.

“Hold on a sec,” she held the phone away. “Phil has invited me to the Anaheim show tomorrow night.”

“So you’re on a first name basis?” she snorted. “Sure, I’m game.”

She returned to her phone conversation. “Can I bring Sammy and Brenna?”

“I don’t see why not.”

“Where would you like for us to meet you?”

“Lunch is around 2:00, hows about Pavia?”

“Nice choice, I love Italian. We’ll see you there.”

“Bye.”

She grinned from ear to ear as she hung up.

“Riley Hefner, you’re blushing!” Samantha walked in carrying the schedules.

“She’s got a date,” Brenna sang. “With Phil.”

“Phil? Collen?” her mouth dropped. “No friggin’ way!”

“It’s not a date, you’re both coming. We need to make reservations for… Disneyland Park sound good?” she dialed the phone.

Both girls shrugged their shoulders.

“I say we take the day off and go shopping in the morning… hey, Lindsay. I need reservations for Anaheim tomorrow night…”

Samantha and Brenna looked at one another and smiled.

Sav & Mindee 2: I Left My Heart in San Francisco (1)

This story is a continuation of But I Want To, a short Sav story. Again, it is completely fictional and is based upon a song that does not belong to me. As a matter of fact, there are many songs in this story that are works of various artists. If you would like information on any of the songs, please contact me at Ask Me Anything and I’ll be happy to pass it along. Enjoy!!

❀∙∴∙⑤∙∴∙❀ ⎪❀∙∴∙⑥∙∴∙❀ ⎪❀∙∴∙⑦∙∴∙❀

“Hello?” Sav answered the telephone in his hotel room.

“I heard you blokes were in town for a spell,” a husky voice spoke.

“Mutt? Yeah. How goes?”

“Pretty well. Look, I’ve got a meeting with a new singer for lunch. Why don’t you meet me after and we’ll have a few drinks and catch up?”

“Lovely, just tell me where and when…”

.

Mindee looked up from her drink to see her new producer looking down at her.

“Hey, Mutt,” she grimaced.

“Any new songs?”

“I am at a t-total road block. I don’t know what the problem is.”

“I do,” Todd crossed his arms.

“I don’t recall askin’ you,” she growled.

“Let’s listen to what he has to say,” Mutt was amused by her spunkiness.

“She writes from her life. And all she’s been doin’ for the last year is touring. It’s hard to draw from life experiences when you’ve had none.”

“You make me sound like a damn prude,” she laughed. “Maybe bein’ here in San Francisco will inspire me.”

“It’s been known to happen,” Mutt looked at her. “Let me see the one you’ve got.”

She bit her lip and looked down at her journal before passing it off to him.

He looked over the notes to get an idea of the tune before reading the lyrics. “I can’t believe I’ve found you, only to let you go… Fate did a number on me… If you end up with my arms around you… It’s meant to be… Well, maybe my crazy is showing… But maybe I’m hooked on your touch… But wherever my life is going… There ain’t no rush ‘cause… Wherever you’re going… I’d like to go to… If you don’t have anything… Better to do… I’d love to spend… Some more time together… So what are you doing… Between now and forever…”

“I’d say we have a great start,” he smiled over his sunglasses. “Now we just need to tap it for more inspiration.”

“I wish we could,” she whispered as a shadow passed over her.

“Aye, sorry I’m so early. I wasn’t sure how traffic was goin’.”

The hair on the back of her neck began to tingle as she looked up to see him.

“No problem,” Mutt rose to his feet and shook his hand. “Rick Savage, this is…”

His eyes widened as he looked at her for the first time. “Mindee?”

Todd smiled as he crossed his arms. “They met briefly last year at a gig.”

“Ah,” Mutt nodded.

“How are you?” She casually looked him over.

“Good,” he did the same. “So you’re workin’ with Mutt now? That’s great.”

“Yeah,” she locked her eyes with his. They stood there for a while without saying a word.

“Hey Min, we’ve got a magazine thing to get to,” Todd felt like an ass for breaking them up.

“Yeah,” she looked away and nodded. It was back to business. She looked up at Mutt as she gathered her things. “I’ll try to tap into that vibe again.”

“I’m sure you’ll have no trouble,” he looked over to see Sav watching her every move.

“It was great seein’ you again,” she looked up at Sav.

“You too. Good luck on the new album,” he grinned at her.

“Thanks,” she rushed off with Todd following closely behind.

Once they were clearly out of earshot, Mutt turned to his old friend. “Mind tellin’ me what that was about?”

“We… met once, that’s all.”

“Good. You can return this to her for me tonight,” he handed him her journal.

He smiled as he nodded. “Thanks.”

Sav & Mindee: But I Want To (5) -NSFW

The Leps were whisked back to their hotel for a few interviews after the show. Once they were finished, Sav looked around the room and waited.

“Bar?” Vivian asked.

“Sounds good to me.” Malvin nodded.

“Bar.” Sav rose to his feet and followed them out.

“I’ll be there after bit.” Phil waved them on.

.

Mindee did interview after interview. Just when she thought she was finished, another would enter the room. She rested her cheek on her hand and let out a deep sigh.

“What time is it?” Sav asked Vivian for about the 20th time.

“2:00 in the AM.” He sighed. “I’m gonna head on up.”

“I think I’ll follow.” He finished off his drink and slid off of the barstool.

“If there’s anymore, I’m cancellin’.” Mindee rose to her feet.

“No, that’s it.” Todd smiled. “Go have fun.”

“You have no idea.” She growled as she dashed out of her room.

.

“Night!” Phil and Vivian walk off quickly. Sav rolled his eyes and chuckled. Must be his turn to pay the tab.

“Tab, please.” He waved at the bartender.

“Huh?” He looked up from staring at the door.

Sav turned to see what he was looking at and smiled. Mindee was posing for a photo with a few fans. “Never mind.” He returned to his seat.

She made her way through the sea of people and finally made it to the bar. Sav again slid off the bar stool and met her eyes. She bit her lip to hide her grin.

“Rick Savage.” He held his hand out.

“Mindee Thompson.” She took his hand.

“You look great.” He looked her over.

“Huh?” She asked over the roar of the crowd.

“Your set, it was great.” He blushed as he realized what he said.

“You’re not so bad yourself.” She winked. She was surprised how calm she was staying, because that British accent was driving her wild. “I just came down long enough to meet you. I’m supposed to be on the road in… 4 hours.”

“I’ll walk you to your room, then?”

“I’d like that.” She nodded as he threw cash onto the bar. He then took her hand and walked to the elevator.

The elevator ride was quiet as they waited, neither of them realizing that they were still holding hands. She led him to her room and stopped when he chuckled.

“What?” She turned to him.

“I’m in the same room, one flight up.” He pointed to the ceiling.

She giggled as she opened her door, and then turned around to look at him.

They stared at one another for a moment before he leaned in for a kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into her room. He closed the door with his foot as their hands began to roam one another’s body.

He found the hem of her shirt and pulled it over her head as she pushed his shirt from his shoulders. He then removed her bra as she pulled at the tabs of his jeans and pushed them down his hips. He kissed and nibbled at her shoulder as he pushed her skirt down, her panties right along with it. He then swooped her up into his arms and threw her onto the bed.

She giggled as he joined her, kissing and licking at every part of her body along the way up. She ran her fingers through his hair as he bit at the crook of her neck. She wrapped her legs around him and pushed her hips up to meet his. That was all the invitation he needed before he pushed his way inside her.

“Oh!” She closed her eyes and tightened her grip on his shoulders as he began to move in and out of her.

He moved her hands above her head and laced his fingers through hers as he stared into her eyes. She bit her lip and arched her back as her body began to shudder around him. She whimpered as she closed her eyes.

“You can do better than that, love.” He smiled at her. “Let me hear you.”

She kissed him as she pushed him onto his back. “Hold on, then.” She giggled as she impaled herself on him.

“Oh, God!” He breathed as she rode him.

She rubbed his chest and she pumped her legs up and down. She yelled out as she tightened around him.

“Damn!” He dug his fingers into her hips as her muscles pounded around him. “Oh!” He closed his eyes as he lost complete control. He thrust his hips into her one final time before spilling himself deep inside her.

She collapsed onto him, smiling and panting. “Don’t you know that cowgirls do it best in the saddle?” She whispered as he laughed.

“Apparently.” He kissed her neck.

They lay there for the longest time, kissing and cuddling before she finally slipped into his arms and drifted off to sleep.

Sav woke up to the sunlight the next morning. He looked up at the clock. 8:00 AM. He then sat up and looked around. She was gone.

He slowly dressed and on his way out, noticed a note on the dresser. He smiled as he read it.

           It was great meeting you. Perhaps our paths will cross again. Mindee.

The van was quiet as the Leps returned to the airport. Joe fiddled around with the radio stations until he found Mindee on the radio. She was singing “But I Want To”.

“Too bad you didn’t get around to meeting her.” Phil offered.

“Yeah, too bad.” He leaned back into his seat and smiled.

Sav & Mindee: But I Want To (4)

❀∙∴•①•∴∙❀ | ❀∙∴•②•∴∙❀ | ❀∙∴•③•∴∙❀ | ❀∙∴•④•∴∙❀ | ❀∙∴•⑤•∴∙❀

“So, are you ladies going to ‘Pride of America’?” Sav spoke to a few fans.

“We didn’t know that Rock Fest was the same day.” One scrunched her nose.

“What times does it begin?”

“2:00. Travis Tritt doesn’t go on until 9:30, though.”

“Yeah, and Mindee Thompson goes on at 6:30. I can’t wait to see her.”

“Cool.” He smiled his heart-stopping grin. “Enjoy your day.” He walked off toward the elevator.

.

“Thank you so much.” Mindee took her backstage pass from the DJ. “I really appreciate this.”

“So you’re a rock fan?”

“Uh… not really. But I thought I’d check it out.”

“Well, you’re in for a real treat.” He looked her over. “So, what are you doing later?”

“Interviews and an early leave. We’re playin’ again tomorrow night about 300 miles down the road.” She was good at coming up with excuses.

“Bummer. Well, I hope to see you at the show.”

“You too. And thanks again.” She waved her pass as she walked toward the elevator.

.

“Yeah?” Malvin answered his door.

“What time is the fan meeting thing?” Sav asked.

“7:30. Why? Gotta date?”

He smiled. “Not exactly. But I may be late.”

“Shall I cover for you?”

“Yes, please.”

“Done. Ave fun.”

He only raised his eyebrows, sighed, and walked off.

.

Mindee went on that night wearing a lacy camisole and short, black skirt. Her hair flowed down her back as the slight breeze blew it away from her face.

She had gone through two songs when she glanced up at stage right. She smiled at the extreme irony as she went into one of her favorite songs.

“You don’t know me, but I’m the girl who lives downstairs… Apartment 214, the girl with long, brown hair… I know you’ve seen me, ‘cause I’ve seen you, but we’ve never spoken… I haven’t met you, but I want to… I haven’t kissed you, but I need to… I don’t know you, but I want to… yeah I want to…”

That sultry voice. And God, did she know how to play with her eyes. And the way her ass swayed as she played her guitar… Sav took a deep breath as he absorbed the song.

“Please forgive me, I know this is kinda strange… Just appear here out of the blue, askin’ your name… But I couldn’t let another day go by bein’ strangers… I haven’t met you, but I want to… I haven’t kissed you, but I need to… I don’t know you, but I want to… yeah I want to… Yeah, I’d like to get to know you better… Maybe we could get together… Sometime, oh anytime at all…” She flashed her eyes up to make sure he was still there. “La la la la la la la la… La la la la la la la la… La la la la la la la la…”

She pushed her guitar aside and took the microphone as she walked toward stage right. “I haven’t met you, but I want to… I haven’t kissed you, but I need to… I don’t know you, but I want to… yeah I want to…” She looked straight into his eyes. “I want you…”

Oh yeah, he was complete mush. Possibilities for the time after the concert swam through his mind as she finished the song. “I haven’t met you, but I want to… I haven’t kissed you, but I need to… I don’t know you, but I want to… yeah I want to… Oh, I want to…”

As soon as her set finished up, she ran to the side of the stage and looked around. He was gone. “Dammit!” She sighed.

“What’s wrong?” Todd asked. “The show was great!”

“Thanks.” She sighed. “I need to go, can you cover for me?”

“For how long?”

“Not sure.”

“Then I’m going with you.”

“That’s not necessary.”

“Yes, it is.” He grunted.

“Fine.” She rolled her eyes.

.

By the time she changed, freshened up, and made it to the ‘Rock Fest’, the Leps were into their first song. She crossed her arms and watched.

“Sure is loud!” She spoke to Todd.

“What?” He yelled.

She giggled and returned to the show.

Phil looked up to see Mindee standing with her arms crossed, swaying to the music. He elbowed Sav and nodded toward her. The smile on his face was priceless as he returned to his playing.

“Okay, we’ve got an interview in 20 minutes.” Todd nudged her as a song ended.

She frowned as she followed him out.

Sav ran to the side of the stage before the encore and looked around. She was gone. Oh well, they were staying at the same hotel. He wiped the sweat from his face and prepared to return to the stage.

Sav & Mindee: But I Want To (3)

❀∙∴•①•∴∙❀ | ❀∙∴•②•∴∙❀ | ❀∙∴•③•∴∙❀ | ❀∙∴•④•∴∙❀ | ❀∙∴•⑤•∴∙❀

“Love bites, love bleeds… It's bringin' me to my knees… Love lives, love dies… It's no surprise… Love begs, love pleads… It's what I need…”

“That good?” Joe spoke over the microphone to the sound tech.

“Let’s get a test from Sav.” He spoke back.

“I don’t wanna touch you too much baby… Cause makin’ love to you might drive me crazy…” He sang a few bars and then stopped.

“Much better.”

.

Mindee’s heart pounded in her chest as she watched from the floor. God, those words were about to melt her. From a rock band? Or was it just the one voice? “And what time do they go on tonight?” She asked the assistant.

“Um… 9:30.”

“The same time Travis goes on.” Todd reminded her.

“Who… oh, Travis.” She rolled her eyes. “Yeah.”

.

On the way back to the hotel from sound check, Joe took control of the radio. He flipped and flipped, trying to find a rock station that was playing a song that he liked. He stopped as they hit a bump.

“Here’s a new one from Min…” He resumed turning the channels.

“Turn it back!” Sav sat up.

“Huh?” everyone turned around to look at him.

Joe pressed the button and then sat back as the song played. “I guess we guess our way through life… How many times do we really know for sure… I was just hopin’ for the best… Then I woke up in those lovin’ arms of yours… And what I felt… Was unmistakable…  When I fell for you…”

“Oh yeah, he’s lost it.” Phil rolled his eyes.

“I kinda like it.” Rick shrugged his shoulders.

“It was real… It was magic… It was calm… It was savage…”

Joe rolled his eyes. He’d love the song no matter what, now.

“It was cool as a breeze… It was warm to the touch… It was never enough… It was always too muck… It did all the things love does… And that’s how I knew it was…”

.

Mindee waited in the van for the rest of her crew after sound check. She turned the key and searched the radio until she found… “I gotta know tonight… If you’re alone tonight… Can’t stop this feelin’… Can’t stop this fire…”

“What the hell?” Randy frowned.

“What’s up with that shit, Min?” Trey asked.

“I kinda like it.” She defended herself.

“We have got to get you back south!” Charlie laughed.

Sav & Mindee: But I Want To (2)

❀∙∴•①•∴∙❀ | ❀∙∴•②•∴∙❀ | ❀∙∴•③•∴∙❀ | ❀∙∴•④•∴∙❀ | ❀∙∴•⑤•∴∙❀

“I can’t wait for the show tomorrow night. Thanks for havin’ me on.” Mindee spoke before hanging up the telephone. She sighed as she plopped back onto her bed and stared at the ceiling. Visions of those blue eyes and… let’s face it, that handsome body filled her mind. She bit her lip as a thought crossed her mind. She smiled as she dialed.

“Hello?”

“Hey, Todd? Can you do some snoopin’ for me?” She curled the cord to the phone around her finger and waited.

“The guy in the lobby?”

“Please? I’d just really like to know who he was.”

“I’m on it.”

“Thank you!” She squealed as she hung up the phone and jumped up and down on her bed.

.

“Thanks for your time.” The magazine journalist shook Joe and Sav’s hands.

“Any time, mate.” Joe nodded as he followed him out the door.

Sav held back until he knew that Joe was out of earshot. “Aye, Mal?”

“Yes, lad?”

“Any ideer who the lass with the entourage was down in the lobby earlier?”

“Not a clue, mate.”

“Think you could find out for me?” He asked shyly.

Malvin smiled at him. “Sure, Sav. Give me a few.”

“Thanks!” He patted his back before rushing down to his room.

.

Mindee jumped when her phone rang. She answered after the first. “Yeah?”

“Def Leppard. They’re playing the “Rock Fest” across town.”

“I take it there’s a website?”

“Of course.”

“That’s all I need to know! Thanks Toodles!” She sang as she hung up and dove for her palm pilot.

.

Sav jumped up when there was a knock at his door. He opened it to see Malvin standing there with a laptop in his arms. He turned it around to reveal a huge screen shot of Mindee. “Here’s her website. Enjoy.”

Without a word, he took the computer and closed the door.

.

Mindee was so engrossed in her research that she didn’t realize the phone was ringing. She finally answered it. “Yeah?”

“There is a huge crown of fans down here at the bar.” Charlie yelled over the phone. “It would be great for you to make an appearance before your 10:30 interview.”

“Okay, I’ll freshen up and be down in two shakes.”

“Cool! See ya, Min!”

.

Ah, there it was. Bio. Brown eyes, brown hair, 34 years old, single… perfect. The phone rang, interrupting his research. “What?”

“Did I interrupt a wank?” Vivian smarted.

“Just about.” He laughed it off. “What’s up?”

“There’s a nice crowd at the bar. This Mindee Thompson chick’s gonna do a song for her fans. You should check her out, she’s completely hot.”

“I’m there.” He quickly hung up the phone and ran out of the room. Once in the elevator he realized that he had left his key in his room, but he’d have to worry about that later.

He made it to the bar in time to hear guitars being tuned. There she was, with an acoustic, sitting front and center. Her guitarist had an acoustic, her keyboardist was at the baby grand, and the others in her band were sitting behind them.

“Howdy, y’all.” She grinned as she spoke into the microphone. “I don’t have much time, but I’d like to thank you all for comin’ to see us tonight, so I thought we’d play a song from the new album. It’s kind of an exclusive, since we won’t be doin’ it tomorrow night. It’s called ‘Unknown’.”

Sav watched as she nodded to Charlie and began to play. Wow, a girl who could actually play! And better than Joe! He crossed his arms and leaned against the bar next to Vivian.

Her voice was milky and sweet, very soft. It was a slower song, but not a ballad. “’Fire and Rain’ is my favorite song… I say a prayer at 11:11… I could watch old movies all night long… I’m not sure there’s a hell, but I know there’s a heaven… Sometimes I feel so alone it scares me… I talk in my sleep, but there’s no one to hear me… Unknown… I don’t wanna be unknown… The little things that make me who I am… I need to share… I need to know… That someone cares… That I drink coffee black… That I sing when I drive… That I sleep with the TV on… More than anything… I don’t wanna be unknown…”

“Wow. That’s deep.” Vivian whispered to Sav.

“She sings with her soul.” He commented as she continued.

“I love September when leaves turn gold… I get nervous in crowded places… Someday I wanna see San Francisco… I’m bad with names, but remember faces… I need more than a kiss, more than a lover… I’m a world that’s just waiting to be discovered… Unknown… I don’t wanna be unknown… The little things that make me who I am… I need to share… I need to know… That someone cares… That I write down my dreams… That I love when it rains… I burn candles when I’m alone… More than anything… I don’t wanna be unknown… More than anything… No one wants to be unknown…”

She finished to thunderous applause. “Thank you.” She grinned as she handed her guitar to Charlie. “Thank you so much. I’ll see all y’all tomorrow.” She winked as Todd escorted her through the crowd. She caught a figure out of the corner of her eye and turned to see him. She slowed down and made eye contact, but was grabbed by the wrist.

“C’mon, Min. We’re late.” Todd pulled her away.

She sighed and followed him as Sav watched her walk off. He sighed and took a seat at the bar.

Sav & Mindee: But I Want To

This story is completely fictional and is based upon a song that does not belong to me. As a matter of fact, there are many songs in this story that are works of various artists. If you would like information on any of the songs, please contact me at Ask Me Anything and I’ll be happy to pass it along. Enjoy!!

The airport was hectic as usual. They stopped for the occasional photo and autograph as they made their way to the van. One by one, they loaded their things into the back and piled into their seats.

Anita opted to accompany Phil, as did Bobbi with Joe. Jewels and Lauren stayed behind to shop in LA. And Sav… was alone. Utterly alone. As alone as a man could be.

“I can’t wait to get this over with.” He sighed as he looked out the window.

“It’s not so bad. At least it’s cool.” Joe offered.

“Beats the hell out of the heat in the south.” Phil followed as Malvin flipped through the channels of the radio, landing on a country station.

“Oh please! As if it’s not bad enough!” Sav huffed. “Last thing I need is a ‘Tear in My Beer’.”

“Turn that hick shit off!” Phil yelled.

“I didn’t think we were in Arkansas!” Joe howled.

“There!” Malvin chose a classic rock station. “Happy?”

“Yes!” They all yelled.

.

Mindee Thompson quietly rode in the van, along with her band. She sighed as she looked out the window. “Why does it have to be so cold?” Her thick southern drawl accented every word.

“You’re just used to the Mississippi swamp, Min. It’s pretty nice.” Todd, her manager spoke from the front seat.

“Hey T, can you find some tunes?” Charlie, her guitar player, yelled out.

Todd pressed a button and jumped back as a rock station blared through the speakers.

“Turn that shit off!” Randy, her drummer, howled.

“You can’t understand a damned word they’re singin’ anyway!” Trey, her keyboardist followed.

They all calmed down as Todd found a nice country station.

“Rock music has no soul.” Mindee mumbled as she returned to her sightseeing.

.

The Leps walked into their hotel and waited. They again signed autographs and spoke to a few fans as Malvin checked them in. He handed out keys as he spoke to his boys. “Just found out that there’s a country music festival called “Pride of America” that parallels ours tomorrow. There shouldn’t be any problems, but you never know. The hotel is packed.”

“Explains the birds with the tight jeans on in the bar.” Joe wiggled his eyebrows.

“Oh, yeah.” Phil smiled as he noticed one walking through the front door.

She had on a black tank top and tight jeans. Her sunglasses covered her eyes, but he could tell they were dark. And her long, brown hair was pulled up into a clip.

“She’s here!” Girls screeched from every direction as they surrounded the gorgeous…

Phil’s droolings were interrupted by his wife’s cough. He smiled and held his hand out for her. “Shall we?”

“Who is that?” Sav whispered to Joe.

“No ideer, mate.” He licked his lips.

.

“Hi.” Mindee smiled, as she obliged her fans with autographs and photos. She looked around and caught the stare of those gorgeous blue eyes. Without missing a beat, she pushed her sunglasses up to rest on her head and continued before her manager whisked her away.

She took one last glance at those blue eyes and smiled as she stepped onto the elevator. “Who was that?” She whispered.

“Not sure.” Todd smiled.

Sav & Mindee 3: Can’t Say Goodbye

This story is a continuation of But I Want To and I Left My Heart in San Francisco, both short Sav stories. Again, it is completely fictional and is based upon a song that does not belong to me. As a matter of fact, there are many songs in this story that are works of various artists. If you would like information on any of the songs, please contact me at Ask Me Anything and I’ll be happy to pass it along. Enjoy!!

❀∙∴∙⑤∙∴∙❀ ⎪❀∙∴∙⑥∙∴∙❀ ⎪❀∙∴∙⑦∙∴∙❀

Phil, Sav and Vivian stood around a microphone and worked on the backing vocals for their final song. “…Then every time I turn around… And you're nowhere to be found… I know… I gotta long long way to go… Before I can say goodbye to you… Oh, I gotta long long way I know… Before I can say goodbye… To all I ever knew, to you… To you…”

“I believe that’s a wrap, gentlemen,” Joe clapped his hands together. “Beer? Anyone? Sav?”

“Nah, I’m knackered. I’ll catch ya later,” he walked up the stairs to gather his things.

Phil looked at Joe.

“Just… let ‘im go,” he waved it off.

He walked into his house and pressed the button on the answering machine. “Hey. Let me guess, you’re in the studio and forgot to take your cell phone again,” she sighed. He looked over to see his cell phone on the counter. “I guess I’ll… try again tomorrow. Love you.”

“Shit,” he sighed as he plopped down onto the sofa. The music was still going through his mind, so he decided to watch a little television. Stopping on a music channel, he threw the remote onto the floor.

“This just in… Country Diva Mindee Thompson has decided to extend her already lengthy world tour due to the enormous success of her crossover hit ‘Without You.’ Mindee’s already been on the road for the last year and a half and will now extend until Christmas of this year. This on the heels of her smash duet with Travis Tritt proves that it has definitely been a great year for the popular songstress, who is rumored to have had a short fling with British rock bassist Rick Savage a few years back… Here’s a clip of Mindee’s video from the soundtrack of the very popular action movie, ‘Thermal Meltdown’.”

“Without you I’m not okay… And without you I’ve lost my way… my heart’s stuck in second place… ooh… Without you…”

“Jesus Christ!” he turned the television off and threw the remote across the room. She was everywhere and yet he couldn’t be with her.

.

Mindee sipped on herb tea as she went over fan mail. Todd walked to the back of the bus and handed her a CD.

“What’s this?” she whispered.

“From Joe Elliott.”

She raised her eyebrows and then looked down to see that it was a rough cut of Def Leppard’s new album. She opened up the jewel case as a note fell out. She smiled when she saw Joe’s handwriting.

I lied. It’s just the songs written by the love of your life. Think we’re gonna call this one the ‘Mindee Album’. Tata for now, Joe.

“Smartass,” she popped the disk in and listened.

“I don't wanna fall in love… But it's been taken out of my hands… And right now I realize… I don't wanna say goodbye… I miss you more than words can say… They never turn out right… But here goes anyway…

Everyday I miss your touch… Never thought it would mean so much… All the words I could have said… Got me reelin' torn to shreds… Every road I go is nowhere… But I know you're out there somewhere… These voices in my head… Got me feelin' torn to shreds…”

She stopped the player and wiped the tears from her eyes before walking away.

Sav & Mindee 2: I Left My Heart in San Francisco (7-End)

❀∙∴∙①∙∴∙❀ ⎪❀∙∴∙②∙∴∙❀ ⎪❀∙∴∙③∙∴∙❀ ⎪❀∙∴∙④∙∴∙❀ ⎪

❀∙∴∙⑤∙∴∙❀ ⎪❀∙∴∙⑥∙∴∙❀ ⎪❀∙∴∙⑦∙∴∙❀

“You know,” Mindee spoke while cuddled close to Sav in her oversized stuffed chair. “My first show is in San Francisco.”

“I saw that,” he smiled.

“Can you be there? I know it was a few days after you planned to go home…”

His finger over her lips interrupted her. “I’ll be there.”

.

“I want the day off,” Mindee walked into the arena.

“Excuse me?” Todd huffed.

“Rehearsals are perfect. I’ll double up on interviews tomorrow mornin’ before the show. I want today off.”

“Why yes, your highness,” Charlie laughed.

“Hey, that means the day off for y’all too,” she looked around the room at her band. “All y’all.”

“Yeah!” the all began to mumble as Mindee waited for Todd’s answer.

“I’ve completely lost control, haven’t I?” he sighed as she kissed his cheek and ran out the door.

.

Sav and Mindee spent the entire day at the pier, a seafood festival, riding trolleys, and shopping. They were tiring and ready to call it a day when something in the distance caught their eye. They both stared at the huge Ferris wheel and then smiled.

“C’mon, baby,” he kissed her before pulling her off to the carnival.

She laughed as he paid for 20 tickets. “Guess we’re closin’ them down!”

“Watch this,” he walked up to the ticket attendant at the Ferris wheel. “We really don’t wanna be bothered,” he handed him the tickets and pulled her to the next seat.

“Yes, sir!”

Mindee giggled as the ride quickly started, but then quieted. Both were silent as they held tightly onto one another and took in the cool night air.

“Min, there’s somethin’ I need to say,” he started.

“Don’t,” she looked up at him with sad eyes. “We promised a long time ago. No goodbyes and no tears.”

He smiled at her. “You’re right.”

“I know,” she grinned.

“I know you know,” he kissed her.

.

The band mingled with a few fans and company people as Mindee made her rounds. Sav walked up to Todd and patted him on the shoulder. “Take care of her, will ya?”

“I’ll do my best, Sav,” he nodded. “You stayin’ for the show?”

“I’ll be gone before she gets off. I think it’s better that way,” he looked away.

“Maybe,” he felt his stomach drop. “You know, she told me that if you were…”

“That’s between you and her, I’m sure,” he nodded.

“Hey, guys,” Mindee hugged Joe and Phil. “Never thought I’d see y’all at a show like mine.”

“Neither did we,” Joe chuckled.

“Well, glad you’re here,” she smiled before looking over her shoulder to see Sav with Todd. “Please take care of him.”

“We’ll get ‘im back to work, luv,” Phil nodded.

“That’s probably a great thing,” she smiled.

Joe looked up at Phil and growled. “He told me somethin’ the other day, and I think…”

“People say funny things sometimes that they don’t mean,” her eyes widened. “And they should just be ignored,” she nodded.

“Ten minutes, Min!” Trey yelled out.

She nodded as she took a huge drink of water. On her way out, Sav grabbed her hand. They stopped and watched each other for a moment.

“Love you,” she whispered.

“Always,” he whispered as she pulled away and walked out the door.

“God, they’re killin’ me!” Phil rubbed his face.

“Shhh,” Joe chuckled.

Sav rejoined them. “Ready?”

“Aren’t we sittin’ stage left?” Joe asked.

“Right,” he nodded. “And we best find our seats.”

.

“The sunlight on my shoulders, the smile on my face… My secret weapon, my favorite place… The reason my heart skips a beat… The broom that sweeps me off my feet… A gentle inspiration… My weary soul’s salvation… The half that makes me whole… The gravity that grounds me… The arms I want around me… Never letting go… I’ve lived, I’ve lived enough… To know what is, and what’s not… You are- You are… All the love I wanna make… Every breath I wanna take… The rush that’s running down my spine… The touch that takes me every time… An innocent seduction… I can’t get enough and… I can’t help but let it show… I lose all my composure… I’m totally exposed and… The reason I let go… is… I’ve lived, I’ve lived enough… To know what is, and what’s not… You are- You are… My every hope… My every dream… You are my everything… I’ve lived, I’ve lived enough… To know what is, and what’s not… You are- You are… The sunlight on my shoulders, the smile on my face… My secret weapon, my favorite place…”

.

That night, after the show, Mindee showered and prepared to board the jet to Argentina. She took one final look around the empty arena before stepping outside into the night air.

“You okay, Min?” Todd rested his hand on her shoulder.

“Great,” she smiled.

“Kickin’ show tonight. Got lots of pictures too. Everyone will have a memory of San Francisco tonight,” he stepped onto the bus.

“I don’t need pictures to remind me of San Francisco,” she sighed as she followed him.

❀∙∴∙⑤∙∴∙❀ ⎪❀∙∴∙⑥∙∴∙❀ ⎪❀∙∴∙⑦∙∴∙❀

Sav concentrated on the rhythm of the breathing on his neck as he closed his eyes. Her alarm clock was about to go off and he wanted to get as much time with her as he possibly could. She whimpered as she nuzzled deeper into the crook of his neck.

“Mornin’,” she whispered before yawning.

“Shh. It’s not time yet,” he kissed her cheek.

“Sorry,” she smiled as she began to nibble on his neck. “It just felt to me like you were awake,” she began to stroke his morning erection.

“I am now,” he growled before pulling her on top of him.

“Good,” she pushed herself onto him just as her alarm began to ring.

He swung his arm over to hit the snooze button.

.

“You’re late,” Todd huffed as Mindee stepped into the makeup trailer.

“Then dock my pay,” she smiled.

“How long is he gonna be here?”

Her smile disappeared. “Not long enough.”

“You know, I can’t help but wonder…”

“What?” she asked as the makeup artist began working.

“How is your relationship going to work?”

“What do you mean?”

“What I mean, Darlin’, is that we’re goin’ to South America for three months. Then, we’ll be touring the US for four. Then Canada. He’ll be in the studio and then probably another tour of his own. What kind of relationship is that?”

“It’s not. It’s phone calls and love letters for a very long time,” she sighed.

“Then what are you gonna do?”

“Don’t you think I’ve thought about that? It’s the reason that neither of us has declared a commitment.”

“You may have not declared one, but you are Mindee. It’s crazy to deny that you two are completely in love with one another.”

She stared at her manager. “I’m not denyin’ anything, Todd.”

“Then tell me, Min. I’ve gotta be sure that you’re gonna give it all you got on tour. Your fans deserve that.”

“I don’t care anymore, okay?” she spat. “If he were to ask me to give everything up and move to Ireland, I would without a second thought. I’ve had my 15 minutes of fame and I’m over it. I’m ready to move on.”

“And has he asked you?” he waited.

She closed her eyes as the makeup artist worked on them. “No.”

“You are at the top of your career, Mindee. Your fans absolutely adore you. Don’t throw it away,” he pleaded. “You mean so much to so many other people. You’re the reason your band is doin’ what they love. You may walk away for yourself, but you’ll be lettin’ a lot of other people down.”

“Todd, please…”

“Just think about it. This isn’t a decision for you. It affects everyone.”

She sighed as she opened her eyes. “Fine.”

.

“So? How’s Mindee?” Joe asked.

“Great. Video shoot at the moment,” Sav sighed as he lay back on the chez lounge.

They were both quiet. Then, Joe decided to start.

“Ever notice how jealous she gets of the girls?”

“Girls?”

“Anita, Julie, Stacey and Bobbie? When they go out together?”

“I suppose. She’s busy, though. She’s got commitments.”

He paused. “She’ll never be one of the girls, ya know. She won’t be at the awards shows, the gigs, the studio…”

“I know that, Joe,” he raised his voice.

“Just thought you should think about it, that’s all.”

He sat up and gazed at him over his sunglasses. “I think about it every bloody minute of the day. As a matter of fact, I’ve even thought of the reverse. I can’t be at any of her awards shows, her gigs, her appearances. And you know what? If she were to ask me to give it up and go with her, I might just think about it!” he walked back into the apartment and slammed the door.

Joe sat in the lounger and rubbed his face as he sighed.

Sav & Mindee 2: I Left My Heart in San Francisco (5)

❀∙∴∙①∙∴∙❀ ⎪❀∙∴∙②∙∴∙❀ ⎪❀∙∴∙③∙∴∙❀ ⎪❀∙∴∙④∙∴∙❀ ⎪

❀∙∴∙⑤∙∴∙❀ ⎪❀∙∴∙⑥∙∴∙❀ ⎪❀∙∴∙⑦∙∴∙❀

“Ready, Min,” Mutt spoke as he waited.

She nodded as the backing tracks began. “As I watch you while you’re sleeping… You don’t know what I’m going through… Dealing with all my emotions… And wondering if your love is true… You’ve given me no cause to doubt you… And I know passion burns in your heart… But does that same fire keep on burning… In the hours that we spend apart…

.

Sav listened to the track on the CD called ‘San Francisco’ and closed his eyes as he listened to her sultry voice. “If you knew the question… That burns in my mind… Then you’d know why I worry so much… I can’t help but wonder… When we fell in love… Sweetheart, did you fall far enough…” God, he missed her.

.

Mindee and her band debuted the song on the Country Music Awards. “There’s something I feel when I touch you… And that’s when I really get scared… ‘Cause I know there’s women who would die for… The feeling I’m feeling right here… Oh I’ll be tormented forever… Unless I can give my fear up… I’ve got to stop acting so foolish… I’ve tortured myself long enough…”

.

Sav stormed into Joe’s house and yelled at him from the balcony. “I think it’s time for a break!”

“And why is that?” he smiled as he leisurely floated on his back.

“It’s been four months and we’re still stuck on the same bloody song.”

“And Miss Mindee’s tour kicks off in a few months.”

He looked away. “I know.”

“Well then, looks like we’re goin’ to LA!”

.

“Mindeeeee!!!!!” fans were screaming as her limo pulled up to the record store. She stepped out wearing a tight, black halter-top and matching mini-skirt with a silver chain-link belt hanging from her hips. She waved and smiled as flashbulbs went off everywhere.

They spent three hours at the record store. Then, there were three radio station interviews. Then, the listening party for record company execs.

.

She walked into her newly purchased apartment at 1:00 AM and dropped her keys onto the table as she kicked her heels off across the floor. Her first stop was the answering machine. As usual, the button was flashing. She closed her eyes and braced herself to hear his voice again. It was bittersweet to hear his voice every night, but not be able to touch him.

She pressed the button. “Aye, Min. Missed you again. Doesn’t look like we’re gonna be able to break for a while. Saw your interview with CMT last night, you looked great. God, I miss you,” there was a long pause. “Hopefully you’ll be able to catch me with your next call. I’ll be at Joe’s early. Talk to ya soon.”

She let out a deep sigh and then smiled. Better than nothing, right? She looked at her watch and bit her lip. It was 7:00 AM there. He wouldn’t be up yet. She could wait… her thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. She frowned as she made her way to look through the peephole. She couldn’t see anything, as something was covering it.

“Who the hell…” she cracked the door open slightly only to see a rose being shoved in. It was a peach rose, her favorite. And only one person knew that.

Without a second thought, she swung the door open and stepped out into the hall and into his arms. “You big liar!” she squealed before kissing him.

He said nothing, and simply reveled in the moment. Her bare back felt so soft as he touched her, it was almost more than he could take. She moaned into his mouth while weaving her fingers into the curls that she missed so much.

They finally broke their kiss to look at one another. Both had the same breathless expression as they managed out the same three words. “I love you.”

She smiled as she bit her lip. He smiled before moving in for another kiss.

“Come on,” he pulled her into the apartment.
