love to see this woman so happy it makes me melt, but her smile turns to her biting her lower lip and then she asks, “What’s going on?” I play it off and give her the shake of my head that everything is just fine. I take her hand in mine and capture all her fingers tightly. We’re going to be fine runs through my head. Everything I have ever dreamed of in the world of music is coming my way, and I don’t want to leave this moment I have right here. I’m with my lovely wife, enjoying the sight of her in a tank top and her very skimpy undies.
“Rand are you still there?” Maxwell questions.
“Yeah I’m here with the best thing in this entire world.” I am caressing her hand and looking at her with my puppy dog eyes. I think I almost have her hooked—oh yeah she’s coming in to kiss my neck. “Maxwell, I have to go. We will pick this up when I get home. Right now, I have something else I need to tend to.” I dropped the phone as Madison slid over top of me and I fell back to the bed. I wasn’t certain if I hit the hang up button on my phone. If I didn’t then Maxwell was going to get an ear full.
In life you always wish for the good things, and sometimes they come and sometimes all at once. This time in my life, all the good is chasing me down and tackling me to the ground. Earth never felt so great. I have the news of our twins coming. The thought of children was still freaking me out though. Maxwell’s news just added to all of that. After having another round of morning sex with my wife, I settled in the chair having some coffee on the balcony and began to read the long message that Maxwell sent. First he began with –
Reminder to you Rand, make certain you shut your phone completely off I need not hear what you do with your lovely bride. By the way, you will be heading on tour for about three months after you return from your honeymoon, to several cities and they have brought in an opening act for you. They think that this act will complement your style of music. The band is called Meila and The Erratics. It was them or the Seven Sins, but the Seven Sins they believe will be too wild of a start for you .
The buzz on Meila and The Erratics is she is a true crowd pleaser and she delivers great music. The story behind her latest CD titled, “Stolen from Me,” is the real life story of some other girl stealing Meila’s fiancé just days before the wedding. It appears she put all that hurt and anger into her music. I have listened to it, and it is really good, but let me warn you she appears to carry a large chip on her shoulder. I have been told that she is out to rip apart any other person’s happiness at any costs. Rand you are a big boy and I know you can handle yourself. I think she will be so glad that her and her band will open for your shows that she will calm her destructive ways, that is if the rumors are even true. You know sometimes that kind of thing is just made up to generate attention.
I am not looking forward to breaking this to Madison. She will say she is happy, but I can imagine her expression when she hears the news. A shadow will cover the beautiful brightness in her eyes. I decide to look up the opening band, really just to avoid breaking the news for as long as possible. My eyes are frozen on the phone screen. Meila, well she is unbelievably stunning. Way too beautiful, and far too sexy. There are a lot promotional pictures of her and her band, The Erratics. What stands out most is that she looks so much like my Madison. They could totally pass for sisters, and now I am so fucked. Boy, I really wish Killjoy was available for my shows since Madison would have no issues with her. I clicked on some random songs just to listen to her lyrics and Maxwell was right, she is one scorned chick.
Even as the worry starts to take root in me, I remind myself that we are married. I’m about to be a dad of two little squirts and I don’t think there is anything I need to worry about in
