Chapter 14

Lucky settled back into her spot, the woman next to her Maureen, asked if she’d glimpsed the guys back there, she said no. Hell she could have said yeah and David laid a doozy of a smacker on me, but she really wasn’t the type to kiss and tell. What had happened back there was, well to her, personnel.

The support band came on and she all but yawned through them, damn this was bad, they were doing support for most of the UK leg, grrr! Why couldn’t they have brought Nickelback back with them like last tour? Now those boys could rock and were damn easy on the eyes, when Chad nearly laid horizontal playing a rift, well Lucky had had some really interesting ideas about him.

But these guys didn’t do a thing for her and she spent a bit on time snapping some pics. Maureen wondered where the camera came from seeing as she had no bag with her. Lucky laughed ‘It’s that slim and small it fits in my jeans pocket.’ She handed it over for Maureen to look at.

‘Wow that is small and light!’ She quickly handed it back.

‘Yeah.’ It was damned expensive too, but worth it, no big clunky camera to find a place for.

Just then the support band finished, thank god! And the roadies came out to reset the stage, damn Jovi boys here they come!

Lucky felt a tap on her shoulder and a tall cute guy stood behind her, grinning. ‘Can I help you?’

‘Yeah, Mark said you were the reason for him scaring off the trampets earlier, Lucky right?’ He grinned at her. ‘I’m Steve.’

‘That’s right, oh so you were the lucky ones too, Marks a wonderful man.’ She threw him a kiss and a wink.

‘Well to say thanks to you, we, my bro and mate would like to buy you a beer/water/cola whatever you want. And I notice you’re in the pit the same time we are.’ He grinned at her, holding his wrist up for her to check.

‘Oh that’s cool, and regarding the drink well, really you should thank Ma…’

‘Nope he said to thank you, so pick your poison!’

‘Ok I’ll have a brew, but only one I’m driving.’ The smile she gave him, knocked him sideways, she was a hot looking woman!

‘Ok, back in a min, don’t go away!’ Lucky laughed and said she wouldn’t.

As Steve walked away the music died and the crowd roared, damn Jovi time!

Lucky watched as the guys filtered on stage, Tico first with Hugh, then David, who looked like he was looking for someone but was too far back. The crowd grew louder as Richie walked on stage.

As the strains of Lost Highways struck up Jon bounced onto stage and the crowd roared and they were off!

Richie had spotted Lucky as soon as he hit the stage, couldn’t miss that tall one! He grinned at her and winked. Maureen jabbed her in the ribs saying lucky thing.

Lucky just laughed and pretended she’d not noticed, but when Maureen wasn’t looking she stuck her tongue out at him and crossed her eyes. Richie stopped, stared then bust out laughing. As she checked out David something hit her chest, looking down she picked up a pick, it was one of Richie’s! Looking up he grinned down at her, smugly! It was the first of many she’d find hitting there all night. She flipped it over and on it, it read, ‘hey sexy’, she laughed and slipped it into her front pocket. She wondered if all his picks had that wrote on it, or just that one.

Half way through LH, Steve finally got back; he crowded behind her, shouting in her ear, making her jump, on stage Richie frowned. He handed her the beer, once again shouting her thanks into her ear, and pecking her on the cheek, Lucky just laughed, Richie’s frown grew deeper. Was she one of these women who had men dancing at her beck and call?

Jon joined him singing his butt of, Richie nodded to where Lucky was and Jon followed his line of sight, he too frowning at the boy standing with his arms either side of the woman who’d just been kissing the ass of his best friend!

They continued to singing and mugging to the crowd, but in reality they watched Steve bend, peck Lucky on the cheek again and take off. What the hell was that?

Lucky put the bottle to her lips, tipped her head and nearly choked when she saw the two men on stage frowning in her direction. What the hell had brought that on?

But like the true professionals they were they swung into Born to be my Baby, and headed of over the other side of the stage as the first fans hit the pit.

Lucky shrugged and clasping the bottle between her thighs snapped of twenty pics in quick succession, most of David, who though he couldn’t see her, knew where she’d be so kept blowing kissed her way and grinning like a loon. Some of the pics were of Jon and Richie too, but not many!

She was happily singing and dancing along with the rest of the people in the stadium.
