Burning Embers
Chapter Eleven
Chapter Eleven
I was sure to keep my expression blank for the rest of the morning, especially when the happy couple decided to make an appearance. I felt like I needed to pull a knife out of the kitchen drawer and cut the tension, not that I hadn't added to it by occasionally giving Jake and Holly long blank stares. The rest of the band seemed oblivious and carried on with their normal douchebaggary. I was still deciding whether or not I was grateful for it.
"So, Andy, are you excited about tonight?" Jinxx asked wriggling his eyebrows. I carefully kept my facade up; feeling like he had some how heard my plans.
"What do you mean?" I asked my voice a little more thick than usual. So basically it was like my regular voice on steroids.
"We are in Vegas tonight. Did you not think we wouldn't do something? Anything?" Jinxx asked as if I were mentally handicapped, he even completed it by poking my forehead when he said something and anything.
"Oh, it's all a blur really. We could be in Missouri and I wouldn't know."
"That will not do," Ashley said jumping up. He carted me out of the tour bus, practically kicking and screaming, without giving me the chance to get ready. The rest of the band followed suit, save Jake and Holly. Of course the lovely love birds would stay by themselves.
"Umm, where are we going, ***hat?" I snapped angrily. I was more angry that we were leaving them alone, than I was over getting dragged off of the bus.
"A little pre-concert fun, of course," Ashley explained dragging me towards the strip. We were close enough to where we could walk, but I still wasn’t ready to go.
"I don't think getting wasted before the show is a good idea," I said trying to think of reasons why I shouldn't get plastered at a strip club.
"What could be the harm? You have been acting like a total freak over Holly lately, so why not let your mind linger on more pleasant things?"
I really couldn't think of a reason. I crossed my arms in resign and walked on my own. "That doesn't sound like too bad of an idea."
"That's the spirit!" Jinxx cheered. “You were starting to sound like my mom.”

A couple of hours in and I had blown over well over two hundred dollars on drinks and appealing women. I was really having a good time and had forgotten all about the little situation among friends.
I wanna rock and roll all night and party everyday
I wanna rock and roll all night and party everyday
You keep on sayin’, you’ll be mine for a while
You’re lookin’ fancy and I like your style
You drive us wild, we’ll drive you crazy
"Andy why is your *** ringing?" Jinxx asked over the overlapping music.
I pulled out my phone and checked it. "It's an alarm," I replied feeling a bit relieved. I was a little too drunk to be talking to anyone important, but I was still coherent.
"For what?" Ashley asked.
"For the show," I stated as if he were the one mentally handicapped. Then I turned my attention to Trixie. "What time do you get off? I have to perform, but when the concerts over I have the whole night."
She smiled and swayed her hips all the way to the edge of the stage and bent down to get eye level with me. I couldn't help, but notice her incredible rack. It was as phony as a three dollar bill, but that didn't matter much, tits were tits even if they were store bought. "Here's my card, call me when you're finished," she said patting a paper, I'm uncertain of where it came from, into the breast pocket of my jacket and patted it.
Gah I did it again. I'll try and post a chapter today.
