War of the Roses -- Part 1: Flowers i wrote this last night.. i was feeling all creative after my little excursion to stonehenge.. in the pouring frickin rain! hehe Flowers "Its a nice day out," Steve mused as he stepped from the back door of the venue. It was stifling in there, he needed fresh air. He wandered along the grafitti-ed wall of the building, not really caring where he was going. He watched a pair of girls go by, chatting animatedly. One turned and looked at him. He winked, and the resulting squeals confirmed his guess that they were fans killing time `til doors. Steve dug into his pocket and pulled out his cigarettes. "So much for quitting," he thought wryly as he sucked in a lungfull. He was damned if he knew what city he was in, but he decided he liked it well enough -- if you could pass judgement on that sort of thing after seeing a street or two. He eventually came to a park, lushly green and well kept. A small flower garden caught his eye. Glancing over his shoulder to make sure nobody saw him, he ran towards it. * * * The screams of anxious fans filled the air as the band hovered backstage. "You're on in five minutes," a voice called. Brian flounced over to where Steve and Stefan were, holding out his arms for the pre-gig hug. Stef grabbed Brian into a bearhug as Steve stood, producing something from behind his back. "Break a leg, Bri," he smiled as he stepped towards the diminutive man. Instead of hugging him, however, he tucked a beautiful pink flower behind Brian's ear. He turned to Stefan. "You break one too," he ordered in mock-seriousness, reaching to place a violet flower behind the tall man's ear. "Awww, Steeeeeve," gushed Brian, "what brought that on?" "I don't know," he shrugged. "Just thought my two favourite pretty ladies might like getting flowers." Stef laughed. "Steve, I love you man, but you can be such a nut!" "Hey!" Brian cut in, "I thought that was my job!" "Oh, just give me my hug." Steve grabbed his bandmates into a big hug as the voice called out, "Come ON! You were supposed to be on stage a minute ago!" ~~fin~~ Next Home |
