Snippet #1499661

Letting go of the lead, her hand fell to her side before retreating into her black loose cardigan sleeve which she wore over her v-neck gray 'Megadeth' sleevless shirt. Smiling, her nerves began to slowly vanish... He didn't seem too bad. In fact, he was being nice to her. She had heard many stories of bands being drunk snobs who didn't care for anyone but their guitar, their bottle and theirselves. She had already met a few who fit that theory well at band signing's. Surprisingly, this didn't put her off the job. Music was her passion, not so much the bands; though nice band were a bonus!

"That's alright." Evie said with a continuous small smile on her face. "I have just arrived and I'm new, that's probably why you haven't met me yet. I'm Evie. Nice to meet you, Leon."

Quickly, Evie glanced over her shoulder to see how far Jeanette had got up down the road. In a way, she was glad her friend was taking her time. Interested about how things worked and what the set up was, Evie looked back at the guitarist Leon in front of her and listened on. As she did so, she couldn't help but also observe him from her angle. Immediately, his dark rugged features jumped out to her. If he took off his sunglasses, she imagined him to be really quite handsome. Even with them on, it gave him a 'mysterious rocker' kind of look; if she had to put it in her own words. Under his shirt and jeans, he seemed to be pretty lean.. maybe toned! But that didn't surprise her.. Most guitarists were unless they were old and never moved around the stage.

Laughing lightly in a sweet chuckle, Evie nodded. "I'll remember to set up Emil's first then before checking everything else if it isn't already set up."

Knocked a little to one side, Evie almost jumped out of her skin as Jeanette arrived to dramatically embrace her. 'Why.. Why call me Tootsie now..' She thought to herself, rolling her eyes a little before hugging her back.. "Hey Jeanette.. You're late. What kept you?" Gently, she removed herself from the embrace before straightening herself back to her original state. "I need to head in soon to begin... Oh." Quickly, she turned to Leon, realising he must have no idea what was going on... Though it was pretty easy to guess.

"Sorry Leon, this is my best friend. Jeanette. Jeanette, this is Leon. He shall be performing tonight." Her small smile turned into one of awkwardness, realising he probably didn't care. After all, why would he? She was just working on the stage. "Umm, would you mind telling your friend Emil I shall be in to set up his amplifier and guitar in a minute, please? I won't be long." Biting the inside of her lip piercing one again, Evie gently pulled her best friend to one side. Why was she getting slightly grouchy? Was it the nerves again? Sighing; she closed her eyes and remained silent for a short second before reopening them and smiling a little to Jeanette. "So, explain yourself." Giggling a little, she waited to hear what excuse she had for being late this time.. It was pretty obvious why as she looked down to see her slippers.
