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

that she was sorry about everything and how she couldn’t live without me in her life. I didn’t know what to do. She looked so…….”

“Broken?”

“Yeah broken, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. So I said that after the tour I would think about a friendship but nothing more. She agreed to that and promised not to come over without calling first. She went to hug me but pulled back, I guess she was scared I wouldn’t want to hug her. I pull her to me and just holding her reminded me of what we used to have.” He sounds so lost.

“Chris, do you love Tammy?”

“No, I don’t love her. Not like that anyways. When we were together, and happy, it was great. But for me it was just sex for the longest time, she never talked about being in love. Now thinking back on everything I should have seen it.”

“You can’t blame yourself for this, I won’t let you. Chris she made this mess and it will take a long time for her to clean it up. I don’t care if you guys want to be friends or even get back together, I won’t like it but I can’t stop it. But none of this matters right now, what matters is if you have feelings for her. Do you?” I grab his face in my hands and make him look at me.

“I don’t know, I can’t answer that right now.” He sighs and hugs me. “You don’t know how proud I am of you. You went out there and handled her without killing her. Then you felt sorry for her and basically told her she was welcomed back here.” He laughs at me.

“Whatever, as long as she follows the rules we won’t have any problems. But we have guests that need us. So lets put her to the side for now and go enjoy our last night at home, with our family.” I kiss his cheek and we walk back into the dinning room.

Everyone is laughing and joking, just seeing everyone happy makes me happy. Justin pulls my chair out for me again then tucks my hair behind my ear. We lock eyes for a few seconds and just smile at each other. Even with Tammy showing up I am in a good mood. I’m with my family, and I have to greatest boyfriend ever.

“Hey Flower, when am I going to see this necklace that you fell in love with?” Chris asked as we all headed into the living room after dinner.

“What necklace?” Justin asks me looking puzzled. I didn’t tell anyone about it when we got home, and I haven’t shown anyone the earrings Rachael got me either.

“I’ll go get it, Rachael will you come with me please?” She smiles and follows me to my room. I get both boxes from the suit case I had put them in.

“Why did you need me to come with you?” She asked walking around my room.

“Is it okay if I show them the earrings you got me? I mean if you wouldn’t want me too I’ll understand.” I’m getting nervous again.

“I would love for you to show them off, I’m just glad you like them. But I must warn you, Justin and Mike may say something about it, but don’t listen to them.” She giggles and grabs my hand as we walk back to the living room.

Since Chris paid for it, I walk over to him first and open my necklace box. His eyes light up when he sees it.

“It’s perfect.” He whispers.

“Rachael surprised me with these.” I say and open the earrings box. Chris looks over at her and mouths ‘Thank You’.

We pass around my jewelry for everyone to see. Mike said something to Rachael about why she picked pearls and not diamonds. Justin said he would buy me the matching necklace but I told him he better not. Knowing him he will have it ordered before we go to bed.

Getting nine people to the airport by 10am was one of the hardest things I have ever tried to do. Thank God Rachael was there to help me. I ended up pouring cold water on Dave, Scot and Chris to wake their asses up. They played video games till 3am knowing we had to get up by 7am so everyone could eat and get ready.

Once at the airport we all say goodbye with a few tears here and there. Everyone promised to come back soon. Luckily for us we are taking Justin’s jet to New York, so no waiting in long lines and all that for us. When we board the jet I curl up in one of the over sized chairs and try to get comfortable. Justin comes and sits next to me but I end up on his lap, yeah I didn’t fight him much on this. I snuggle close to him and smiled when Chris handed me a blanket, he knows I like to sleep when we fly.

WE ARE STAYING at the same condo we stayed at last time we were in New York. This time they gave Justin and I the master bedroom. I’m starting to think that Justin and I are the mom and dad of this family and the others are the crazy kids. I sent the boys out for dinner, I needed some alone time. I took a long hot bubble bath, I painted my toes, and I even gave myself a facial.

I’m lying in bed reading when I hear the boys come in. I hear Chris yelling for me but before I can answer they all bust into my room.

“Band meeting!” Justin barks. Oh shit, what happened?

“What’s going on?” I ask while they all pile onto the bed.

“Someone hold her hands I’m not letting her hit me.” Dave says but isn’t laughing. Justin takes one hand and Chris the other, shit this is bad.

“Flower, we need to talk.” Chris says, his voice is telling me he is worried.

“Will
