�Pimp suite.� What a dork.
�Hey Joel. Its 11 o�clock. Will you wake everyone up for me?�
�Yeah how long we got?�
�We�re outta here by 12:30. That means luggage and all your asses down on the bus ready to pull out at 12:30.�
�Alright.�
�Call room service if you want breakfast. I�m gonna go take a swim.�
�Hey can one of us use your shower? There�s only two in the suite and you know how long it takes Billy to get ready.�
�That�s fine. I�m just surprised all four of you��
�And Tony�
�Okay, all 5 of you are showering�and on the same day.�
�We gotta be fresh and clean for the magazine shoot.� Too bad they can�t have magazine shoots everyday.
�I�ll leave my key at the front desk.�
�Alright.�
�Don�t forget Joel, 12:30.�
�I won�t.�
I hung up the phone, slipped on some sandals and went down to the pool.
About an hour later I went back to my room and headed straight for the bathroom to shower and change. When I opened the bathroom door, I was a little more than surprised to see Benji standing at the sink brushing his teeth wearing nothing more than a towel around his waist. I stopped dead in my tracks. I couldn�t move. All I could do was stare. He turned and smiled at me, toothpaste creeping down the corner of his mouth like it was no big deal he was half naked brushing his teeth in my bathroom.
�What are you doing here?� I asked, trying to make it seem like I didn�t care.
He leaned down, spit out the extra toothpaste, rinsed his mouth out, and dried his pierced lips. �Joel said I could use your bathroom.�
Self-consciously I wrapped my towel from the pool back around my body. �Yeah, like an hour ago.�
�I decided to dye my hair, so it took a little longer to get down here to shower.� He pointed to his freshly died black hair. I hadn�t noticed when I walked in, but how could I? He was and still is standing there in a towel! �I figured that you�d already be ready so it wouldn�t be a big deal�but obviously your not. Sorry.�
�Its ok. I just gotta rinse off and put some clothes on.�
�Go ahead I�m done with the shower.� He looked back to the mirror and began lathering up his face with shaving cream.
I walked over and stepped into the shower, bathing suite still on, and closed the frosted glass door.
�Amy you�re not gonna take a shower with your swim suit on just because I�m in here.�
�I wasn�t going to.� I lied. I took off my swimsuit and threw it out of the shower in his general direction. �I just didn�t want your virgin eyes to be offended.� Benji chuckled then turned the faucet on to begin shaving.
When I finished my shower 10 minutes later I peeked over the top of the glass to see if the coast was clear. Benji was nowhere in site but his shaving kit was still on the counter. I opened the shower door just enough to reach my hand out and blindly grab a towel off the rack beside the door, but there was no towel. Damnit Benji!!
�Benj!�
Benji walked into the bathroom freshly shaven, eyeliner perfectly done in his trademark style�this time wearing black boxers. Does he like being half naked today for some reason? �What?�
�I need a towel.� He walked over and grabbed a towel from the sink and tossed it to the shower, hitting me in the head, then left the room.
I dried myself off, wrapped the newly damp towel around my body and went into the bedroom. Benji was already fully dressed in black dickie cut offs and a black MADE shirt and was putting on his shoes.
I dug through my suitcase on the corner of the bed and pulled out a black bra and panties, jeans, and one of the vintage looking shirts I had bought the night before.
�I�ll see you down at the bus.� Benji gathered up his things and left my room.
When I stepped on the bus the guys, and Tony, were sitting around the table eating cereal and reviewing the events of the previous night. I sat my messenger bag down on one of the couches and retrieved a bottle of water from the fridge.
�Speaking of freaky ho�s�� Joel turned his attention to me in the kitchen.� I hear that you looked hot last night.� I glared at him and playfully flipped him off for the lovely ho transition.
�Yeah Benji and Tony couldn�t stop talking about you.� Billy chimed in.
Jake smiled at me. �You did look nice Amy.�
I could feel my cheeks getting red so I rolled my eyes and changed the subject.
�ANYWAY�we�re scheduled to arrive at the venue around 1:30. You have a photo shoot with Spin Mag at 2:00 and your set to perform at 4:00. I talked to the photographer and he assured me that he would be done with you no later than 3 so you�ll have an hour of down time to get ready for your set. The festival goes until 11:00. Steve said we can stay at the festival as long as you want since there is only about 3 hours between here and the next city. So it�s up to you guys. Which brings me to my next point...I ask that if you wanna stay for the entire festival that you don�t drink. I really don�t feel like getting stuck on the bus with a bunch of drunk guys. I suggest if you wanna drink that bad that we leave after your set so we can go ahead and go to the next city. That way you can go to the bars, get drunk, and puke in a hotel room with maids to clean up after you so I don�t have to. Understood?� The men shook their heads on command, sorta like trained dogs. It made me laugh. I picked up my messenger bag and went back to my bunk while the boys continued their conversation.
I laid in my bunk with my headphones on listening to a mixed punk CD Benji had given me in an attempt to �broaden my musical horizons�. Every time I closed my eyes to give my full attention to the music I saw Benji in a towel. I couldn�t get that picture outta my head. Most girls would love to have that image permanently etched in their minds, but not me. Not because the image disturbs me, but because it appeals to me�and its Benji, not some hot model guy! I guess when you think about it though any halfway cute and semi naked guy appeals to me. Benji is cute in his own little way and he was half naked. See, its completely normal for me to find the image pleasing. Benjis just a good friend anyway, so what if he�s cute. I think a lot of guys on the tour are cute, but that doesn�t mean I wanna molest any of them.
In the middle of figuring things out in my head, the curtain to my bunk was opened. Tony stood there with a wide grin on his face. I pulled off my headphones and sat up.
�Come to thank me for last night?�
He shook his head. �No but thanks.�
�So what do you want then?�
�To get the gossip on you and my boy Benj.�
�There is no gossip.�
�That�s not what I hear. Joel told me you guys sleep together.� He raised his eyebrows suggestively.
�The operative word in that sentence being sleep. Everyone refuses to share a room when there are only 4 rooms in a suite so I get stuck with Benji. Yes we do share a bed but I can assure you we both stay fully clothed and on our own sides.
�You like him Amy�I�m on to you. You can�t hide it from me. I know it and you know it�and Benji and the other guys weren�t blind, they�d know it too. I saw the hurt in your eyes yesterday on the balcony when he failed to tell you how sexy you looked. And as drunk as I was last night I�m pretty sure you sounded excited when he told you that he did thin you looked good.�
I shook my head. �Are you done? I do have other things to do than sit here arguing with you and trying to convince you that you�re making something out of nothing.�
�I�m done�for now.� Tony stepped out of my way as I jumped down from my bunk. �By the way we�re at the venue.�
