Absolutely Unforgivable(73)

I jumped off of the couch and Vin’s eyes met mine. “What’s on your mind, little lady?”

“I want to go to Rowdy’s and see Billy.”

Vin looked at the large bruise on my face. “You sure that’s such a good idea?”

I put my hand to my face, almost forgetting about the mark that Jeromy had left on me. “I can cover it. You forget we girls have makeup that can cover almost anything.” Sadly there was no makeup in the world that was going to truly cover up that mess of a bruise on my face but I did my best.

By the time we got to the bar, Jessie’s Girl was already on stage. Billy was speaking to the crowd of fans that surrounded the stage.

“This song is for a special someone that I just can’t seem to get off of my mind. She couldn’t be here with us tonight. She’s at home right now but she’s on my mind every minute and this song is for her.”

At this point the crowd cheered loudly. Billy, I suppose, thought they were cheering about his talk about me. But what he didn’t know was that I was sneaking up behind him.

Bree and Mindy, who were standing next to a smiling Zander, started bouncing up and down excitedly. I shook my head no and put my finger to my lips and shushed them. I didn’t want them letting Billy know I was there yet. I glanced towards Travis and found even Darla and Starla were smiling back at me.

The cheers of the crowd were deafening. The band started playing but had I not been standing right there watching them play their instruments, I don’t know that I would have been able to hear them.

The way Billy sang, “Another day is going by. I'm thinking about you all the time. But you're not here. And I'm waiting all alone,” gave me goose bumps.

I stood off to the side of the stage mesmerized by his singing, waiting for the perfect moment to let him know I was here. I had always loved this song and probably heard him sing it fifty times but tonight I couldn't remember any of it. It was like my body had left my mind as I stood there just watching Billy onstage.

When the tempo picked up just a tiny bit, I took a step onto the stage, thinking that was a good time to join Billy, by his side. The crowd screamed in joy. Their cheers scared me and for a moment I froze. I took a step back, realizing now probably wasn’t that perfect time.

Billy was still oblivious to what was going on behind him. The song slowed down and he softly spoke into the microphone: “I close my eyes and all I see is you. My mind races and all I want is you.”

I knew the song was almost over so as he sang the last part, I made my way onto the stage. When the drums banged out the last part of the song, I put my hands around his waist. He whipped around, wondering who was touching him and a huge smile came over his face as he saw it was me.

The noise and jostling coming from the crowd at that point was getting out of control. I glanced down and wondered if they were going to rush the stage. Vin, Rocco, and Devin must have thought the same thing because they began to close in on me as I stood locked in Billy’s arms, kissing him passionately.

He pulled his head back, looked at me for just a moment, smiled and then picked me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist and laid my head on his chest. With all the noise around me I couldn’t hear his heartbeat but I could feel it.

With Vin, Rocco, and Devin clearing the way, Billy walked me to a room in the back of the bar. It was a locker room, where the waitresses stored their purses and personal belongings while they were working.

I glanced back as the door shut and saw that Vin, Rocco, and Devin had positioned themselves in front of it, standing guard. I didn’t really give them much thought though. I was too wrapped up in being there with Billy.

In the back of my mind I knew there were two hundred cheering fans in just the other room but at that moment, I didn’t really care. It was almost as if that made what we were doing all that more erotic. Those people out there were cheering for us. They were in love with our love and that was exciting.

He slid my dress up around my waist and ground his hips into mine while mine were coming up to meet his downward thrusts, each motion coordinated perfectly. The sensation was absolutely incredible.

Soon after we had finished, while Billy still held me tightly in his arms, there was a quiet tap on the door. Billy pulled away and I put my dress, which had been pushed up around my waist back down. Billy looked back at me and I shook my head no. I still couldn’t find my panties. After I did and quickly got them back on, he opened the door. It was Trista standing there with her trusty makeup bag in hand.
