When I walked inside, I was shocked. What once smelled like diesel fuel and stale beer smelled like lavender. Small baskets dotted the tables and were filled with my favorites like cheese puffs, peanut butter protein bars, and red licorice.
“How did you know?” I walked down the aisle toward my bedroom. I was afraid to walk inside. This woman had already blown me away. If she had anything else for me in there, I might never let her leave.
“It’s my job to know.” She followed me into the room.
My bed was made and in the fridge was an array of drinks from my favorite orange soda to a selection of everything from sugar free to energy drinks.
“Really, how did you know? The people closest to me don’t get it right.”
She stood in the doorway and leaned against the jamb. “Most people see what’s on the surface. I tend to look deeper.” She pulled her phone out and scrolled through at least a dozen photos of me. She expanded one to show me holding an orange soda. There were four more with the same brand.
“Thank you, Gia. I don’t need a sitter but …” I walked over and grabbed the still cold can and popped the top. The spray of carbonation bubbled into the air.
“I imagine you need someone to pay attention to the important stuff.”
Maybe that was what was missing from my life. Since Deb died, no one had been genuinely interested in me. Sure they liked the music, the money the music brought me, or in the case of my manager and crew, what the music brought them, but no one had truly had taken the time to dig into who I was until Gia.
“I’m happy to ride with the crew. They seem like a good bunch of guys.”
The bus lurched forward sending her falling into the room. I managed to step forward in time to catch her from hitting the floor, but I stumbled back from her momentum and we both landed on the bed. Me under her. Her body pressed me into the mattress and I’d be lying if I said it didn’t feel fabulous.
“Sorry.” She squirmed on top of me.
The press of her hips on mine made my cock jump with excitement. My hands gripped her hips and held her close to me. “I wanted you in my bed, but I expected it to be different.”
Her hands pressed against my chest. “Sorry to disappoint you.”
She wiggled out of my grip and fell to her knees between my legs. I immediately sat up. “This works too.”
Seeing her big eyes look up at me from her place between my legs caused an immediate reaction. Her eyes grew bigger as I did.
She bolted to her feet and stepped backward. “Are you always so bold?”
“You bring out the best in me.”
She retreated to the door. “Or the worst. Behave yourself.”
“Or what? You’re going to take away my sausage?” I looked down at my hard length pressing against my jeans.
Cherry red bloomed on her cheeks. “You’re terrible.”
“On the contrary. I’ve been told I’m really good.”
Her hands went to her heated cheeks. “Do women really fall for that shit?” She turned and walked back to the living area.
I adjusted myself and followed her. “You’d be surprised at how little effort it takes.”
She fell into a lounge chair against the window. My bus had two chairs, a sofa, and a big screen television. There was a small galley kitchen and a bathroom on the way to my bedroom. It was really a house on wheels.
“I’m not one of your groupies.”
I laughed, and she smiled. She seemed to light up when I laughed, like it was her personal mission to bring lightness to my life, and I liked it. I’d keep laughing if she kept smiling.
“That’s for certain. If you were, you’d be naked and in my bed already.”
She pulled her knees to her chest and rested her chin on them. “Do I need to arrange for a medical checkup at our first stop? Aren’t you afraid of catching something?”
