CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

Apple

“I can’t tell if the look Tripp keeps giving me is one of anger or lust,” I say to Olivia as she sits next to me on the couch in the green room after the show in Tampa. I tug on my schoolgirl skirt, trying to get it over my knees, but no such luck. The sucker is short.

“Maybe a little of both,” Liv replies more as a question.

“I guarantee he’s pissed that other guys are seeing me dressed this way, but he has to think I look hot.”

“For sure.”

“Thank you for helping me put the outfit together. I’ve been wanting to wear this skirt for him for a while now.”

“It was no big deal. With Faith loaning us items, it was easy to come up with something.” She giggles. “She has quite the slutty selection.”

“That she does.”

“Shit, I’m not saying you look slutty. That’s not what I meant.”

“I know.” I laugh. “I agree about Faith’s clothes, and I’m kind of going for that look tonight. Tripp’s been wound up tightly for weeks–no, years. I’m hoping this will help him blow off some steam.”

“I think you’ll be successful.”

“What did you think of the show?”

“It was incredible. Since most Borrowed Faith songs are heavy rock, I’ve only ever listened to the ones played on the radio. I had no idea the band was so talented, especially individually.”

Individually... That means their solo acts stood out to her, which is great, but there’s still a disconnect amongst the band. I do think the members have started trusting each other a touch more since I joined them on the road, but they have a long way to go.

“Wow, Zain gets a lot of attention,” Olivia says with her eyes glued to him while he signs autographs and takes photos with fans. She’s been staring at him ever since he walked in and flashed her one of his mesmerizing grins.

“Z built a huge following while in his previous band,” I reply. “It was mainly because the other members weren’t all that talented or lively. People have treated him as if he’s this solo pop star, but now that he’s with a strong band, the fanfare is dying down some. Girls aren’t chasing him to the buses like before.

“Even though it’s hard to watch sometimes, I love that the band has a meet and greet system in place for after the shows. They’re not snobs to their fans, and that helps their reputation. Tripp struggles with social anxiety, yet even he does his best to show his appreciation.”

“I can’t imagine having that kind of attention.” Sighing, Olivia turns her body away from Zain and toward me. “I should stop staring at him before someone notices. It’s hard, though. Z’s beyond attractive, and his charisma is a magnet board.”

She shakes her head. “Lord, I have the biggest crush on him. Let’s talk about something else. How do I go about getting my sewing machine? I could have my brother ship it to me, but I would need an address.
