“I need to make a phone call.” He got up as the song finished and walked away, at this moment Gareth returned with a slight limp. I shot a satisfied look in his direction, he was far from impressed. Mr Santa Oops,I mean Mr Gordon asked if Gareth had taken a fall.
“No, some bitch stood on my foot.” Mrs Gordon was offended by Gareth’s choice of words and muttered something into her husband’s ear.
“Perhaps it was an accident Gareth.”
“Hhhm Perhaps.” Bryce returned to the table with a sneaky smile on his face.
“What have you been up to?”
“All in good time my love.” My love? I liked the sound of that. Samantha blushed and went back to concentrating on her crème brulee. A guitar kicked in and my ears pricked, Oh Shit, my eyes lit up and Bryce picked up on it.
“Do you like Muse?”
“They are one of my favourite bands, didn’t your creepy research reveal that?” He growled soft but harsh into my ear. I felt his hand slide onto my thigh and up my leg, he moved it slowly until it stopped only centimetres short of the very spot that was aching for him. Very gently he began to circle my thigh, teasing and tantalising me, I kept my eye on the band knowing that if I looked his way I would launch myself on top of him and that would probably not go down too well. Hysteria was the closing song and for me a very fitting ending to the evening. When the song finished, I looked heavily into to his eyes, my desire for him was becoming overwhelming. The gentleman on the board including Santa helped their wives up and said their goodnights, I was ready for a good night myself when Bryce informed me we were headed elsewhere. What? No!
“Good things come to those who wait Ms Summers.” I dug my Gels into his arm as he escorted me out of the Ballroom.
“Where are we going?”
“Firstly to meet a few friends of mine, then to Studio C for a private function with another of your favourite bands.” I raised my eyebrow at him, he wasn’t giving anything away.
He led me to a room back stage and knocked on the door, a beefy security guard opened it and nodded to Bryce to come in, I looked into the room and saw 4life set up on 4 stools with a couple of acoustic guitars, I nearly fumbled into Bryce’s waiting arms.
“Mr Clark and this must be Alexis.” It was the lead singer Harry, he leant forward and I shook his hand together with the other three members; I should know their names Charlotte has mentioned them time and time again. Bryce sat on a stool opposite them and pulled me onto his lap, he got out his iPhone and began to record. I turned and looked at him, I was excited and overly curious, he hugged me to his chest whilst pointing the phone at the group, Harry nodded at him.
“Charlotte, we are sorry you couldn’t be here tonight so we’ve put together something especially for you.” I gasped and put my hands to my mouth. Liam, that’s one of their names Liam, go me! Liam counted them in. They started to sing an acoustic version of ‘Anything’. I was so excited for Charli Bear, she was going to flip, but I was also overwhelmed, with what Bryce had put together and I began to well up. No Alexis, tears lubricate mascara, mascara runs when wet and wet mascara equals Panda. I blinked them back, turned my head and kissed him gently; I think the phone recorded a second or two of the roof. When they finished singing I thanked each of them and ensured them that she would more or less faint when we played it back to her, they all laughed and handed me several signed pieces of Memorabilia. Bryce shook their hands and we left the room, once outside I released my pent up excitement.
“OMG, thank you, thank you, she is going to go crazy, I love you, thank you, thank you.” I was jumping up and down and clapping my hands like a lunatic. He grabbed me, kissed me and dipped me backwards.
“I love you too.” Oh shit, I did say that didn’t I? He pulled me back up and I whispered into his ear.
“I want to go upstairs, NOW!” His body tensed and I felt his pants twitch.
“Mmmm, you do too don’t you?” He discreetly adjusted himself and took my hand.
“Patience Alexis, come on you won’t want to miss this, we have all week to be upstairs.” That thought sent waves of pleasure right through me.
Studio C was one of the Tel V’s private after parties, Bryce led me to a booth which had been roped off near the stage and a young waitress came to take our order.
“Mr Clark can I get you and Ms Summers a drink?” Did everyone know my name now? Bryce turned to me and smirked.
“Would you like a Naked Martini?” I’d like a Naked you.
“No, I’ll have a Mind Fuck, followed by a Sex Up Against The Wall.” I smiled ever so sweetly at Miss Blondie and then challenged Mr Clark with an equalling smirk. She smiled to herself and jotted it down on her notepad then raised her eyes at her boss.
