Chapter 29

Again, RL is a PITA! lol

Lucky followed Mike into the backstage area, wondering if this was a dream and that David really wanted to talk to her, or just send her running home crying again! She didn’t think she could cope with more heart ache.

Mike handed her a pen and a note pad, she looked at him blankly, ‘Full name and address, mobile and home phone numbers please! You are not getting away again and causing all of us untold sadness of David being a pain in the ass.’ He crossed his arms and waited, Mark told him she’d got one hell of a temper, would this bring it out?

‘Are you honestly telling me that he tried to find me?’ She looked sceptically at him.

‘I swear on all that’s holy, when he found you gone that morning, he went into melt down! He was nearly on his knees to the hotel manager beggin for your phone number, and even Jon couldn’t sway them, same with Virgin, nada. Then today he’s had us phoning every damn hotel in town just in case you had a room here. Does that tell you how bad it’s been?’

Lucky looked at Mike and the pad, heaved a sigh and began to write. As they headed toward the stage Mike asked if she needed anything. She said she could use water and the loo, not necessarily in that order; he’d laughed and showed her the ladies first then headed for the hospitality area for the drink all the time talking.

On stage David was getting antsy again, she hadn’t showed yet and he started to worry that she’d hopped the fence then headed for the nearest exit.

They finally got to the end of Bad Medicine, which meant end of round one and off for a quick change then on to the encore. David didn’t stick about for their bowing, he nearly ran off the stage much to Jon’s disgust and delight, he’d kill him later!

Mike heard them end and swore a blue streak, and grabbing Lucky’s hand he ran her down the corridor and towards the back of the stage. As they ran up one side, David ran down the other, grabbing Mark and asking him where the fuck Mike was with Lucky. Mark hadn’t a clue and followed him to his dressing area, using his radio to call Mike.

As they hit the side of the stage Jon, Richie and Tico walked off straight towards her, but no David.

Richie laughed and wrapped on arm around her, kissing her cheek. ‘Shit darlin he ran off the other side to find you! And may I say it’s wonderful to see you again, it might just save him being killed and thrown in a river somewhere!’

All Lucky could think was talk about missing each other! Jon and Tico kissed her and with Richie’s arm still about her shoulders they headed to their changing rooms.

‘Christ, talk about ships that pass in the night!’ She laughed, it seemed that fate, and David were trying to keep them apart. She heard Mike laugh and talk into his radio.

‘Oh fuck Mark tell him to calm the hell down, we’re on the way. Tell gimp he ran off the wrong side of the stage, we were on the other side.’ He waited till Mark relayed it then David came over the air.

‘Lucky darlin, just stay with the guys and I’ll see you in a minute.’ Laughing Mike told him Richie had her clamped to his side, David told him to find his own woman and get his paws of his!

Lucky rolled her eyes, but inside her heart swelled, he sounded so happy that she was there! They got to the changing areas, Richie holding her hand like he was afraid to let her go lest she get lost, she smiled then watched as David came bounding towards her at full run, nearly knocking her off her feet as he hardly stopped before yanking her into his arms and just holding her. For her own sake she grabbed onto him, she didn’t need to land on her ass in front of everyone. She buried her head into his neck breathing him in, god he smelt good!

The others cheered then quickly disappeared into their changing areas to strip off sopping shirts and a quick dry of. Lucky laughed as David carried her into his, dropped a kiss on her nose, set her to one side, all the while keeping an eye on her, he yanked his shirt off and Lucky’s mouth went dry and her eyes roamed over his torso.

‘You keep lookin at me like that and I’m liable to piss Jon off, by being late onto the stage.’

Lucky’s head snapped up and she saw the raw lust echoed in his eyes, holy hell she sure was in trouble!
