Behind the Mask: A Rockstar Romance(4)



“Thank you for tonight,” I say before yawning.

“You mean morning.” We both laugh.

“Yes, you are the best.”

“I know.” We both laugh again before sleep takes us both over.





The alarm goes off and I feel like I just went to sleep ten minutes ago. I hate house parties. They mess up my beauty sleep. I look over at Naomi and she is still snoring away. I haven’t got the heart to wake her just yet, so I will let her stay in bed until I wake up the others first.

I get dressed in my fancy smart black pants, black blouse, tying my hair up in a messy bun with a few strands surrounding my face. I wear natural makeup with plenty of concealer to cover the circles under my eyes.

I still look like death, but it will do.

I hate this part as I know I will hear every cuss word under the sun. I start shouting through the house waking everyone up, banging on doors and walls. I head to Tegan’s room first, banging the door open, telling her to get up. In response I get the finger. I smirk as I walk to the edge of the bed, pulling the sheets off her.

“What the fuck?” She sits up shouting at me, her hand going to her head.

“Time to get up. The limo is coming in thirty minutes, so get your ass out of bed or you can go to the interview half naked. I don’t care.” I put my hands on my hips.

“I think I’m dying.” She groans. I roll my eyes.

Drama queen.

“It is self-inflicted. You got yourself to blame. Now get up, and if I don’t see you out of bed in five minutes I will pour water over you.”

She knows I will, as I have done it before.

“I hate you.” She sticks her tongue out at me.

I blow her a kiss. “Love you too, sis.” I start walking out the door. “Now get up,” I say one last time, hearing her groans behind me. I would never do this to the guys as I wouldn’t have the guts to. Tegan is my sister, and trust me, half the errands she gets me to do, doing this is my added bonus.

I smile wickedly.

I knock on Troy’s door, waiting for a sound. When I don’t hear anything, I open up and see him with some blonde sleeping next to him. I tiptoe toward him, shaking his shoulder until he stirs and looks at me.

“Please tell me it’s not time to get up.” He groans, rubbing his eyes. He looks to the side of him and groans even louder. I know he hates it when he passes out before kicking out his one-night stand. “Kill me now.”

I chuckle. “You want me to go all crazy on her ass?”

He gives me a playful smile. “If you don’t mind, kiddo.”

I step back and pretend to stretch, my head going from side to side, getting into crazy mode.

“Up, up, up,” I shout, pulling the sheets off the bed. The girl wakes up screaming, trying to cover her naked body. I pick up the dress from the floor, throwing it at her. “Get dressed, you know the drill.” I find her shoes and throw them near her. “Troy has business this morning, so give him a quick kiss and leave.” I walk to the door, opening it wide.

“You can’t be serious.” She stands, putting the dress on that hardly covers her.

“She is the boss of our schedule, so what she says goes,” Troy says, sitting up against the headboard. Least he’s wearing boxers as that’s an image I never want to see. I know Naomi would die if I saw his package before she did.

“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go.” I clap my hands like I’m talking to a child.

“Here’s my number.” She passes him a card. I wonder where that came from. She leans forward, giving him a heated kiss before walking toward me.

“I’ll call you,” Troy says, but I know he won’t. He never does.

“Look forward to it.” She smiles sweetly at him. When she turns and faces me, the smile falls. “You could be a little nicer in the morning.”

I roll my eyes. “I will try and remember that.” I walk behind her to the front door and by the huff sounds she’s making she isn’t pleased, but I followed her. Girls try and hide when they are meant to leave or think they can take something as a souvenir.

Gav and Rich are standing by the door and once they see us coming, they stand up straighter, their faces going serious.

“You know what to do guys.” I leave her with them and they open the front door wide for her, their eyes solely on her. If you don’t know them like I do, they can be a little scary as they give off an ‘I will kill you without a second thought’ aura.

Once she’s gone I head back to Troy, who is looking out the window still in just his boxers. Troy has a very nice body, all toned with a sexy V and abs, tanned skin. Green eyes, dark messy brown hair, he is gorgeous. You’d have to be blind to not find him attractive, but he is too much of a player. He says before he settles down with the right girl, he wants to sow his oats first.

Spread his seed.

“Thanks, kiddo. I can’t believe I passed out.” He turns, facing me.

“It’s okay. I like waking people up.” I smile at him.

“You’re just evil.” He laughs.

“I know. Now go and get ready. I better go wake up the rest.”

“How did Tegan take the wakeup call?” He continues laughing.

“Like she always does,” I say before walking away and I hear him continue to laugh. Walking back to Tegan’s room I hear the shower going. I feel a little disappointed that I couldn’t throw water on her.
