Don't tell me I'm Beautiful.

As I walked away with his name replaying in my head and nearly collided with a group of passing fans, squealing about one of the bands about to go on stage. I just kept moving, slowly but surely to get away and clear my head properly. I sighed checking the time again and turned around having to head back to the stage to help set up for the second band, and right now I wasn't sure I really wanted to.


I let all the emotions go and made my way back, climbing up the steps to the stage and moving in to help one of the guys fix the amp hook ups. Then moved back to my place, eager to help if anyone needed anything during the set. Little did I know what I was about to encounter. My breath hitched in my throat as I watched him climb behind his kit and smirk in my direction giving me a small wave. Somehow I managed to lift my hand enough to wiggle my fingers then let it drop back down, my head dropping with it. 'Don't do this to yourself Nicole, you know he won't be interested in you.' I listened to my subconcious tell me this many times over the years, and so far it must have been right, because I've never had a boyfriend. Let alone anyone getting close to me, including my own family.


I lifted my head a little when Kenny tapped me on the shoulder and excused me from my spot allowing me to get some breathing space and walk away from the stage just a bit. I let my mind wander unwillingly, back to those gorgeous eyes, and that smile. His genuine laugh, and the way that he was currently playing his heart out on that stage, yeah... A guy like that would never want a girl like me.

"Hey...." I heard behind me, not realizing the music had stopped, I jumped a bit not sure if I was about to be in trouble for leaving and not helping tear down then I turned to that beautiful face and bit my lip out of habit, looking him up and down and holding in the urge to run from him yet again.


"Hi.." I said quietly as his band members walked past, clapping him on the back as they moved on probably headed back to their bus to clean up for a meet and greet or party.

"So I was wondering what you had plans to do tonight?" he asked as he looked at me curiously. Why would he want to know what I'm doing. "reading a book probably nestling myself into the cramped space we call bunks and sleeping the night away. " I said and rather nervously looked around. "Well why don't you come by our bus, a lot more fun than just reading a book." he said smirking. "Besides, we're having a little gathering... It'd be nice to see a beautiful face too." he said and I blushed, but studdered out a reply none the less. "I'm sorry... I just.." I looked up at him and whimpered a little. "I... why would you want me there, I'm not beautiful." I choked a little. "But you are.. and I really wanna get to know you. we don't have to go to my bus, we could just hang out, talk..." he said and I sighed. "I guess..." I said causing him to grin and wink. "I'll come around and find you later, what bus number?" he asked curiously. "Seven" I whispered and shook my head as he nodded and waved walking away with a grin on his face. Dear god what did I Just get myself into.
