Chapter 3

‘How the hell did you ……….. Ah you saw my necklace didn’t you?’ Lucky laughed, now she realised why Mike was head of security, nothing slipped passed this man!

Mary looked up and took hold of the necklace, gently pulling it so Lucky would stoop over. It was made of solid silver in the shape of a keyboard. It was inlayed to make the keys, with onyx and pearl, scattered about the sides with small diamonds. Its length about an inch and a half held on a sturdy silver chain that nestled just above her breasts. She’d had it custom made by a friend, he’d choked at the cost of it, but Lucky wanted it, and had been asking him year in year out for the last five years. He’d finally caved when he suddenly got all the right stones for the piece.

‘Wow that is lovely, bet it cost a bomb.’ Lucky just smiled and said nothing.

‘So you ride a Harley? Big bike…’ Mike trailed off at the look shot from Lucky, it dared him to say ‘for a female’, and he wasn’t that stupid!

‘Yeah I like it, I love the throb between my legs, quite a turn on.’ Mike’s eyes bugged out of his head, Mary cracked up.

‘Hey Mike, boss is been bitchi………. Well hello ladies, sorry to interrupt. I’m Mark, Mike’s right hand man.’ Mary thought he was damn cute, and flashed him a killer smile, he returned it with interest.

‘What’s up, I’m just talking to these lovely ladies.’

‘Wow that’s some bike, whose is it?’ Mark looked about.

‘Mine.’ Lucky laughed at his double take.

‘What about the boss, jackass?’ Mark was another one who loved bikes, bit like Jon. Damn he’d better not find out they’d got a smoking Harley in here, otherwise he’d be out here trying to get a ride!

‘Oh, yeah, sorry, he’s screamin for ya.’ Mark grinned Jon was having a meltdown about something and Mike had turned off the walkie after the last bitchfest!

‘Oh god is he still on one?’ Mike shook his head, ‘Ladies I’ll leave you with Mark here and he can show you how to get where you need to go. Mary, nice to meet ya darlin, Lucky, I’ll see ya later. Damn you sure you’re a David girl?’ He laughed.

‘Yup, nice to meet you to Mike.’ She winked at him.

‘A David girl, holy hell miracles do happen then.’ Mark looked at her with new eyes, so not a Jon or Richie girl, made a nice change!

They said goodbyes to Mike again and he went one direction and Mark took the women another.

Mark led them through the backstage area of the Southampton venue and out into the main bit. Already they’d let in the fan club people so they got to the front. He led them into the Gold Circle, asking Lucky where she’d like to stand.

She choose to stand off to one side, being six foot three quarter inches, the quarter was important, she towered over most people, so at concerts she tried to stand to one side so not to block peoples views. But hell, tonight she decided to stand at the front, sod anyone else, she needed this!

Mark frowned, ‘You sure you want to stand here? We could move you move towards the middle if you want.’

‘No here’s fine.’ She’d got a great view of David’s piano! She smiled at him and he was certain a thud could be heard as he fell under her spell.

‘Well seeing as you’re settled my work here is done, you’ve got your laminate for later, you just need your pit pass. Which group is she in Mark?’ Mary flirted with the security guard.

He called over Brian, who was in charge of the pits, checking it he realised they’d got her down for first session, not that good. So after a word with Bri, he found out who’d not yet showed and bumped them to first and moved Lucky to the last batch, the third one. Taking the band from Bri, he stuck it onto her wrist, along with a Gold Circle one.

With all that set, Mary kissed her cheek and left, Mark saying he’d be back after showing her out.

Lucky just grinned, telling him she’d be here.

While he left Lucky got to know the people around her, nice bunch not a kool-aid drinker in the whole bunch, yes!
