Backstage Mandy Bee (book series to read .TXT) 📖

jump up and run out of the room laughing. Guess its video game time for them.

This leaves me, Rachael, and Justin alone in the living room. He is still holding my hand but doesn’t seem to care that his mother is staring at us. I don’t know what to do or say, so I start picking imaginary lent off of my dress.

“So where are the best shops?” Rachael asks me, how should I know this? Until I met your son I didn’t even like shopping.

“Umm, well I don’t know. I’m not a big shopper.” I say keeping my head down.

“That’s okay, I have an app on my phone that will show us where to go.” She really wants to go shopping.

“Mom maybe shopping isn’t a good idea, we can find something to do around here.” Justin says while taking my other hand in his to stop me from picking at my dress.

“Who said you were invited? You need to go play with your brothers. Flower and I will be just fine.” She stands up and walks over to the door. Oh shit, I don’t want him to leave me.

“I am not leaving you alone with her. You will only question her to death.” He laughs but I can tell he is still trying to fight to come with us.

“Nonsense! I promise not to question her to death, I just want some girls only time.” She smiles at me.

“It’s okay, I’ll be fine.” I lean over and kiss his cheek. “I need you to watch the boys anyways. You know how they get when they get too excited. Just don’t let them make too big of a mess, I will have no problem yelling at them in front of their families.” I laugh while walking over to the hall closet to get my handbag.

Justin laughs and says fine but makes me promise to call him if I need rescued. His mother smacked him up side the head making me go into a giggle fit.

“And what is so funny?” He asks pulling me into his arms and pinning me to him. I can’t stop laughing so I can’t answer. “I think I know of away to calm you down, my love.” He whispers in my ear then kisses me hard! Before I know it my hands are in his hair and one of his is on the back of my neck locking me into the kiss, while his other hand is on the small of my back pushing us closer together.

When we break the kiss I have calmed down but my heart is racing. I look over at Rachael and she is beaming with joy. This shocks me, I mean what mother wants to witness their son making out with his girlfriend? I start blushing and duck my head down. I hug Justin one more time and then push away from him.

“See you later dear.” She kisses his cheek and takes my hand, leading me to the car.

Once in the car she loads her shopping app on her phone and gets directions to a mall not far from here. She tries to talk to me some but I’m so nervous I can barely answer her. Then she asks me about the tour, and what it’s like being on the road with the guys.

“I love it,” I answer her, this is something I can talk about easily. “I’ve been touring with Chris for ten years now, and Freak Street is now our family. The guys are really good to me, and I love how much they love Chris.”

“Justin has told me a lot about you and Chris, he sounds like the ideal big brother.” She jokes.

“Yeah, he’s the best.” I smile while looking out the window. We have just pulled into the parking garage of the mall.

“Flower, I think I can tell that you are not the type of person who likes to spend money on themselves. So lets go spend money on our family.” She says getting out of the car, spend money on our family, I can do that. “But I have one rule, you must buy yourself at least one item, and it can’t be some cheap little thing either.” She says taking my arm and walking me to the front doors of the mall. I just nod and smile, great I have to buy myself something, this is going to be a long day.

So the shopping trip wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. We bought a gift for each of the boys. I texted Justin and let him in on our little plan and had him feed me info about Frank and Guy.

Frank only has one hobby, he collects cuff links. I have never heard of this before, but whatever floats his boat. So we got him a pair of black cuff links in the shape of music notes. I really hope he likes them. Now Guy he was harder to buy for, he eats, breathes, and sleeps for body building. Rachael found a custom jewelry place in the mall and asked how long it took them to engrave items, luckily for us they said they could do almost anything in about an hour.

We found a white gold dog tag and a long beaded chain. We had them engrave one side with a music note and a barbell and the other side said ‘Scot and Guy, Music and Iron’ and it was wrapped and ready in only thirty minutes. I know both of them will love it. They are kind of like me and Chris, all they have are each other, they have no other family but the band.

For the band we bought them each something to use on stage. I got Chris a few drum covers that have really cool drawings on them. I know that he can’t use them while playing the drums but I thought he could place them around his drums on stage just to show them off. We found Scot a
