Backstage by Mandy Bee (guided reading books TXT) 📕

He looks so alive out there, you can see how much he really loves his music.

Right before the last song I saw something pink hit the stage. It’s not far from me, but I can’t make out what it is. I tiptoe closer and stretch my neck, holy shit it’s a thong! Now I have been with this band for a while now and never have I heard about any underwear on stage! Gross!! Dave is the closest to me and the closest to the nasty underwear, he sees me staring at it.

“Hey Justin!” Dave screams into his mic. Justin turns around and looks at Dave like he is crazy for stopping the show. Dave goes and picks up the pink thong, smiling the whole time. Justin walks over to him.

“What do we have here?” He laughs when he see it.

“We have a little pink thong,” Dave says and the crowd starts screaming louder. “but I know someone who isn’t happy about this.” He glance over at me, then Justin looks at me.

“Hmm, this is a problem now isn’t, whatever shell we do?” He is mocking me with his tone of voice! The crowd just keeps screaming, I don’t think they know what is really going on. “How about we let that someone come tell us what she thinks we should do with this.” He points to the thong that Dave is still holding. Then waves at me to come on stage.

If he wants to try and make fun of me then I’ll give his fans a show they will never forget. I straighten my dress and walk out on stage smiling. I look over at Chris who is smirking at me, I flip him off and keep walking. I walk up to Dave and Justin with a look on my face that tells them to watch out.

“I think you all remember the lovely Miss Flower.” Justin says to the crowd, they once again scream. Really can’t they do anything else?

“Hello boys.” I say taking Dave’s mic from him.

“Miss Flower, now what do you think we should do with this gift that has been thrown on stage?” If he keeps using that mocking tone with me I’m going to go off on him.

Then I get an idea. I know Dave keeps a lighter in his back pocket at all times, even though he bums all his cigarettes from the roadies. I reach in his pocket and take the lighter, he jumps because he didn’t know what I was doing. I grab the underwear and hold it up and set it on fire! The guys are laughing their asses off while the crowd is screaming and taking pictures. I stomp the fire out after a minute or two and wait for the boys to say something.

Dave just hugs me, he is covered in sweat but I let him hug me anyways. I look over at Chris and Scot and they are still laughing. Peter is still playing bass guitar for the band, he is smiling but doesn’t seem to get the joke. I roll my eyes at him.

“Well, I guess you have a problem with women tossing their pretty little thongs at your boys!” Justin laughs as he walks up to stand right in front of me.

“I guess so.” I say into Dave’s mic before handing it back to him along with his lighter. Justin takes my hand and intertwines our fingers, a sweet calm washes over me.

“Will you stay out here with us for our last song?” I wince when the crowd got louder then before. But I nod and walk to the front of the stage with him.

Their last song is always “I Dream Of” it’s a high tempo dance song. When the music starts Justin starts dancing and singing. At first I just stand there and laugh at him but then he pulls on my hand and spins me around. Before I know it I’m dancing with him all over the stage. As the song ends he pulls me close and sings the last line to me.

I dream of starting my life with you.

Then he kisses me and dips me backwards! Walking off the stage the fans scream for more, he picks me up and spins me around. Then Chris, Scot, and Dave do the same thing and when my feet finally hit the floor I’m so dizzy that I have to use the wall to help me stand up.

“You were amazing!” Chris says while taking my hand and leading me to their dressing room.

“It was fun!” I giggle.

“You know it is going to be all over Facebook, Twitter and YouTube right?” Justin asks me while handing me a bottle of water.

“Yeah I know, but I don’t care. When I saw that thong it grossed me out! Then Dave had to go make a big deal out of it!” I toss a towel at him.

“Hey! Justin is the one who made you come on stage!” He blocks the towel with his arm.

“I didn’t think she would do it!” He laughs.

“Well, I did do it, and I had fun doing it!” I’m very proud of myself.

When we get back to the bus I’m still hyper. Justin goes to take a shower while the others go straight to bed. I head back to my room to change. Tonight was so great, and now I get to wait for Justin to come to bed with me. I had just turned on the TV when he walks in, he shuts the door and locks it. Then without saying one word he slides into the bed beside me and pulls me into a hot passionate kiss.

His lips are soft, his tongue licks my bottom lip and I moan opening my mouth. He enters and our tongues start to dance. My hands are in his hair and his are on my back holding me to him. I pull him down on top of me and we start rocking our bodies against each
