Maggie Pov
I haven't seen Rory for two days. I was wondering if she was even going to make it to my expo. I was nervous enough but to think my best friend wouldn't be there made it more stressful. I tried texting her but I didn't want to bother her. I didn't want to make it seem like I was angry or jealous that she was happy and living her life. I wanted her to have a good man in her life.
I arrived at the convention center two hours before everyone was set to arrive. I did my make up first and then helped my assistant for the day set up the table and stuff in my area. I was so nervous and I still heard no word from Rory.
"Hey there," I heard a sweet voice say. "You look incredible."
"Thank you," I said with a sly smile.
"Nervous?" Drew asked me.
"No, not really," I lied.
"Aww okay," he said. "Can I take your picture." I gave him this intrigued look. "For the social media content." "MMHMM okay," I joked. He took a few shots of me holding my book and then of me signing my book. I then said we should take one together. I didn't know where that boldness came from but I was glad I did it. He texted it to me as soon as he left. I was so nervous, there were only five minutes left. I looked at my phone one last time and still no word from Rory or Shay for that matter. I took a deep breath and watched as they let the crowds of people in. My eyes lit up when in the first batch of people I saw a blonde beauty that was my best friend. Of course, Deckard was with her but I didn't care. Rory was here. She smiled and waved crazily.
"I'M HER BIGGEST FAN," Rory yelled. I grinned and waved back at her. I heard some of the people in the crowd cheer louder.
"You look incredible, babe," Rory said.
"Hey, you should have told me you were here, I would have given you my access pass," I told her.
"Oh, Deckard got us in early but we went to have a few drinks beforehand, sorry. I figured you wanted to get ready and not be bothered by us."
Us? drinks? bothered? I didn't know what made me angrier. I was so nervous without her. Of course, he got her in early but of course, he kept her away. He just loves to keep her away from me.
"You look amazing," I told her realizing I was staying quiet while I stared at them. I began to sign books for my fans so Rory and Deckard stood behind me. She was cheering me on and complimenting me every five minutes. She took my nerves away and made me feel better.
"I'm here, I'M HER BIGGEST FAN," I heard Shay yell from the back of the crowd. She pushed her way closer until she was standing in front of me.
"Hey brother," Jack said. "Surprise to see you here."
"Same to you," Deckard answered.
"OMG, look it's Drew," Rory said. Deckard looked at Andrew and then back at Rory. "Holy shit." Rory was frightened by Deckard's intense look.
"He is Maggie's man crush," Shay tried to whisper but I slapped her slightly because I didn't want him to hear her. I had a break so I went with the girls and their guys to get something to eat. Of course, Shay invited Drew.
"Damn Maggie, that is a huge turn around from the last time I saw you," Jack said. Shay laughed and Rory at least tried to hold hers back.
"Omg, look," Shay pointed at the other part of the convention. "It's a dildo convention. We are going to go check it out." Shay and I were the first ones up from our seats. Jack quickly followed Shay and I noticed Drew look at his phone he then followed us. I knew Rory would be hesitant but not because she was shy but because Deckard was here. If he wasn't she would have bolted up from her chair with us. We got closer to the collection and were like kids in a candy store.
"WOAH, I need a new rabbit," Shay commented.
"Do you?" Jack questioned. Shay looked at me side-eyed. We then saw an explanation and demonstration on the stage.
"We have seven new models, that create a desirable and very pleasurable experience for every woman," the lady on stage said.
"Why do dildo's have to be pink?" I asked. "Makes it harder to resist." There were dual-headed ones and a few with ridges. There were glass ones, curved and straight.
"They all have vibrating massagers with 20 settings and 9 speeds," the lady continued to say.
"SOLD!" Shay and I both said. Rory was very quiet and a few times I tried to get her to say something but I guess it was safer for her to stay silent.
"Hey, that one kind of looks like the one you use," Shay said to Rory. Rory looked like she was going to faint at first but then she looked like she wanted to murder Shay. "What. It does." Deckard walked away and Rory got worried.
"s**t, do you think he is weirded out now," Rory said.
"Definitely not," Jack answered. Deckard came back and stayed quiet.
"So you going to buy one?" Jack asked Shay.
"YES!" Shay said looking for the selling area. We found it and walked towards it. A woman wearing a see-through black dress walked up to us.
"Thank you again, sir, for your purchase today," she said looking at Deckard. Rory slowly turned to look at Deckard who didn't look at all phased by her words or his actions.
"What?" Rory said lowly. I think she was worried about the answer.
"I bought all of them," Deckard said confidently and smoothly. He looked like a businessman who just closed an amazing deal or who bought stocks in a thriving market. At least, he knew they were going to rise.
"All of them," Rory hardly got out those words. All of us were smiling from ear to ear, while Rory was having trouble breathing.
"All of them!" Deckard said sharply. "I've been patient enough." Rory blushed and he put his arm around her and pulled her to his side. He kissed the top of her forehead and acted as nothing happened.
"Have fun tonight," Shay said to them.
