He’s got this lethal way of handling his guitar and he’s sooo hot with it she think she’ll melt. All gig long he’s been looking at her. At HER! For a moment at the end she imagines he’ll pull her out of the crowd. More likely he’s told his security guy to let her through backstage.
She fluffs her hair as she approaches. The security guy, it turns out, is a gal.
‘He’s waiting for me,’ she says.
‘Sorry, sweetie. He isn’t.’
Ms. Security wiggles her ring finger at her. His name’s tattooed on it.
‘All part of the show.’

Haha. A little bit cruel, him making eyes at her all performance and then the security guard turns out to be his wife. Funny Sonya! Great take.

Great buildup! Wonderful voice.
Yeah, at the crush of the concert, down on the floor, right in front of the stage, they do seem to be singing right at ya — not that I’d know from an experiences of my own. 😉

You’ve perfectly captured the voice of the infatuated fan! Hiring his wife as his security guard is definitely an effective way of keeping them at bay – though hopefully she doesn’t ‘cramp his style’ too much. Great story, Sonya. 🙂
