Chapter 2

I had been in my room for a few minutes when I hear a knock on my door. I look at the clock in my room noticing the time not sure who it could be. It could be Lenny, but I just left his room so I didn’t think it was him. I hear a knock again and make my way to the door. I open it to see Steven standing there.

He smirks and says, “You know you shouldn’t open your door to just anybody. It could have been someone that you don’t know.”

I ask, “Steven, what are you doing here?”

He smiles at the use of his first name and says, “I just wanted to make sure that you were okay. Did you get to relax tonight like you wanted to?”

I say, “Yeah I did. Is there any other reason you stopped by so late?”

He asks, “Is it okay if I come in?”

I open the door all the way allowing him to enter my room. He sits down on the edge of my bed as I close the door.

I start to get a little nervous being in a room with him alone. I had no idea what it was he wanted to talk to me about this late at night, or should I say this early in the morning for him to come to my room.

He pats the spot on the bed next to him saying, “Come sit down. I just want to talk for a little bit. I’m not going to bite. Well, that is unless you want me to.”

I blush at the insinuation but site next to him on the bed making sure not to get too close to him. I didn’t smell any alcohol on his breath so I knew he wasn’t here because he was drunk.

I ask, “So, why are you here? It is kinda late isn’t it?”

He replies, “I’m a night person anyway. Have to be in this business. Let me ask you something.”

I say, “Sure, go ahead.”

He asks, “You like working for us right? I mean we don’t treat you badly do we? We try to be courteous to your needs and anything that you want don’t we? I mean have me or any of the rest of the band done something that they shouldn’t have?”

I was shocked at hearing the questions coming from him. I say emphatically, “I love working for you. I wouldn’t want to do anything else or work for anyone else. I love touring with you guys and none of you have ever done anything bad to me. Why are you asking me this Steven?”

He sighs and says, “Just wanted to make sure that you were happy with us. I know we can be pains in the asses sometimes but we don’t know what we would do without you.”

I laugh and say, “Yeah I’m happy with you guys. As for what you would do without me. Hell all you would have to do is find another maid that would be willing to travel. That’s all I am anyway.”

He says strongly, “You are more than just a maid to us Amanda. You are more than that to me. I really don’t know what I would do if you decided to just up and leave us, leave me.”

I sit there surprised for a couple of minutes before saying, “What do you mean?”

He says softly, “This is what I mean.”

He leans in to me and kisses me. I was so shocked that I didn’t respond at first. When I didn’t stop him he took that as his cue to deepen the kiss. I was so lost in the kiss nothing else existed.
