1156 Words
We hung up and I called Isabella. Telling her about the same things.
"Okay. Be there around 4:20. Thanks for the backstage pass, too, Grace. I'll wear the fanciest thing I have. Don't you worry. See you then, bye."
"Bye, Isabella."
We hung up and I went to my dressing room. I fixed my hair and makeup, then decided to change my light pink lipstick to a sexy red matte lip gloss. I heard a knock at my door and, when I turned around to see who it was, Willow walked in. Then she looked me up and down.
"Dang, girl. You look way more sexier now than you did while you were rehearsing for tonight. That choice of lip gloss adds to the sexiness way more than that light pink lipstick did. Smart swap. Now, the reason I came to see you in the first place. Your family is here and the guards won't let them backstage to see you. You know how Maverick and Toby can be. So, I think you should go help them out and give them their backstage passes. Don't you?"
"Yes. Yes I do. I just got finished getting ready, so they're perfect timing. I've got their passes right here, so let's go give them to them. Shall we?"
"We shall, Grace." Willow let me out first, then followed me to the entrance backstage. "Maverick. Toby. Here's Grace. Now, let her family backstage."
"Yes ma'am. Sorry, Grace. We just wanted to make sure they were your family, not fans posing as your family. It's our job to protect you and your crew. So, we were doing that by keeping them out until you or Mrs. Gardner says otherwise."
"I know, Maverick. And Toby, you have both met my family now. My dad, mom, younger brother and younger sister all have their backstage passes, so let them back here. Before I have to go on stage and perform."
"Yes, Grace. Of course. Sorry, Drake, Joy, Anthony and Isabella. Now that we know you're Grace's family, this won't happen again."
"We accept your apologies. Now, lead the way, Grace, so we can watch you perform."
"Wait, mom. Aren't we sitting in the front row to watch Grace? Then coming backstage afterwards?"
"Oh. Gosh. Yes. Yes we are. How silly of me to forget. We'll see you out there, Grace. Break a leg. Not literally, though."
"Okay, mom. See you back here after I perform."
They all went to sit in the front row and I went on stage, got into position, along with my crew, and we waited for the lights to shine on stage. The second they did we started dancing as James, Asia, Summer and Austin began the music. A few seconds after, I began singing my song, 'Hey Sexy'.
"Hey. How've you been? I've been great. Look at me. I feel sexy. I feel alive. I feel free. You aren't lying. You know me best. What do you say?"
Now Davis sings.
"I say you're amazing. And if you walk away, I'll say, 'Hey Sexy' where you think you're going? Hey sexy, stay with me tonight. Hey sexy! Hey sexy, don't leave me so fast. Hey sexy, you light up my world. Wait! Don't go! Hey sexy, come back!"
Nate joins in and sings the next part with me.
"Hey, man. Not so fast. You're going to make this girl run. Don't push the limits too far. You'll scare this girl away."
Nate sings alone as I do some sexy moves with him.
"He's right, though. If I'd just met you, I'd yell, 'Hey sexy!' Girl, if you were mine, I'd always be saying,'Hey sexy ' in order to get your attention. Hey sexy, how you doing?"
I sing now with Daphenie and Savannah.
"I'm doing good. I've heard there's new guys in town. Hey, guys, how's it feel to have possible competition? I bet you're nervous. I bet you think we'll take them instead."
Andrew and Rick join in and dance sexily around me, Daphenie and Savannah.
"Hey sexy! Where've you been my entire life? Hey sexy. Dang, girl, you're my queen that I've been searching for. Hey sexy! Hey, hey, hey, hey sexy! Hey sexy! Hey sexy!"
I sing alone and Davis, Nate, Andrew and Rick surround me. Then Davis and Rick go to Daphenie and Savannah.
"Okay. Okay. I get it now. The competition is real. And I know who I'll choose. Now you and you, come over to me." I sang, pointing at Nate and Andrew. "I have one question. Answer it right and you'll win my heart. Who do I love the most in this world?"
Nate answers.
"You love your family the most in this world."
Andrew answers.
"No. You love everyone you're close with the most in this world."
"Well, then. You're both good with your answers. I'm afraid you've won my heart, though." I sang, pulling Andrew into my arms and he gave me a rose and a kiss on the cheek.
"I do love everyone I'm close with the most in this world. There's nothing that can tear my love away from them. Unless they push me out of their life. So, hey babe, whatcha say?"
Andrew pulls me close and we do a sexy dance as he sings.
"Hey sexy! That's what I say to you. Hey sexy! Wait there a minute. I'm just kidding. Girl, come with me. Hey sexy. Yeah you." He sings as he lifts my chin to meet his eyes. I look deep into his eyes as he does to mine. "Hey sexy! Hey sexy! Hey, hey, hey, hey! Hey sexy! Hey! Sexy! Hey sexy!"
We all do a very sexy pose and the music ends. Everyone claps and cheers. I hear teenage girls shouting out they love me. Then I heard guys shouting they love me. I smiled, waved, said thank you to everyone who came to the concert tonight and walked backstage. When I got to my dressing room I was pulled into a group hug by my family. When they let go of me they noticed how much sparkle was in my eyes and how big my smile was.
"I love you guys. Thank you for being here. I feel I did so much better just then, than I did during rehearsal. You guys gave me more confidence with all the support and encouragement you were giving me out there. Thank you."
"Always, Grace. So, whatcha doing now? Since the concert's over, did you have any plans for afterwards?"
"Yes. I have plans. But, if you want, you guys can join me and my crew at Millie's. She has the best food a restaurant can make and her shakes and floats are incredible. My crew would love to meet you guys and I'd love for you to join us."
"Alright. We'll meet you at Millie's. See you there, Grace."
"See you there."
