Chapter Five

The phone rang a few times before anyone picked up and in that brief time my mind managed to run in a million different directions. Was it too early to call? Would he be happy to hear from me? What would I say? Where was he?

"Bloody Bastard International Headquarters, how many I direct your call?"

The voice, lightly accented and very gravelly dragged me back to reality. "Um, I think I might have the wrong number. Is Joe there?"

"Oh no, you've got the right number, love. Hang on." There was a pause, then some strange noises I think were a party of some kind and then pounding on a door. "Jo-ey, you have a phone call," the same voice said, muffled by distance.

I waited a few more minutes and then there he was. "Hello? Liss?" He was a little out of breath and I could hear his smile through the phone. All of my misgivings and reservations evaporated.

"Yeah, it's me."

"Oh thank god. I tried to track you down all day. But I couldn't remember your address or even if you had a landline. And some really mean woman at the diner acted like she'd never heard of you."

I grinned again as he prattled on, clearly nervous.

"-Then I thought you might call during the show and my phone was off so I wouldn't have the number and I was working on this new song back here on my own and… Shit. Sorry. I'm a little hyped up right now."

"I noticed."

"I always feel this way after a show. That's why we met in the first place. I needed somewhere to go to calm down."

"And something to eat."

"Yeah." His voice went lower and the back ground noise disappeared. "And a beautiful girl to look at."

I blushed and let my head rest on my shoulder, sandwiching the phone between them. "I'm glad you called me. I'm sorry about leaving like that. I just wasn't sure…" I trailed off, having not the slightest clue how to explain all of the doubts and insecurities that had sent me fleeing from his hotel.

"It's okay. Look, I really like spending time with you. And I wish I was in town so we could maybe go out for real. But everything is so crazy right now. I didn't plan to start anything with anyone, but I don't want you to think I was just looking to hook up."

"Not that kind of rock star, eh?"

He laughed. "Well I won't lie. Being in a new city every day has its advantages. Oh shit, I shouldn't have said that. I'm not a manwhore or anything."

"Joe, relax. I get what you're saying. And even if you were just looking for a one-time thing it would be okay. Like you said, your life is really wild right now and I'm just some waitress."

"Liss, no," he said vehemently. "That's my point. You're not 'just some waitress' to me. Not before and certainly not now. I shouldn't have slept with you. I was scared you'd get the wrong idea but god, I couldn't help it.
