Krystal watched the young girl following the stage hand Randy with interest. She had only seen the girl a few times and only since early last week. Not that it was odd to see girls come and go out here. Actually it was quite normal, this was the road after afterall, and being as band and crew of this entourage numbered over 100 employees it shouldn't have come as a suprise that she didn't know everyone really well. Afterall she had only been on the job herself for a little over a month now. It wasn't bad, not at all. Tiring yes, but not the nightmare her parents made it out to seem.
She sighed to herself recalling the hell she had gone thru to convince them that at 19 she was perfectly capable of taking care of herself and staying out of trouble in a traveling job. It hadnt been a field she had expected to get into at all, for her fashion and design had been merely a hobby, but on a whim one day she had answered an ad in the paper. All it had said was Entertainment production company looking for stylist/wardrobe personel for worldwide tour. Bring references and portfolio and listed the address. So she had thought about it for all of 2 minutes before freshening herself up a bit, grabbing her resume, which honestly hadn't been that impressive, and her portfolio and headed out the door. She hadn't really expected to get the job, she had just done it on a whim really chuckling a bit to herself about seeing the world, getting out of Stockton, She'd lived there her whole life, just a small dot on the map in Illinois. She had had to take a bus to Chicago 2 hours away to meet with the head of the Production company and somehow despite her lack of previous experience.... He had thought her portfolio strong enough to offer her an understudy position.
She had been scared yes, but even so had accepted. Now instead of sketching designs all day long and dreaming of going to school in NYC she spent her days ironing, mending and shopping for new styles for the band. Amanda handled all the major alterations and custom fittings but assured her that in time she would be allowed to help with those too.
Krystal hadn't know what to think when she had found out who the band was she would be working with and touring with for the next 24 months. When she had shown up in Chicago again one week later for the start of the tour she had been shocked when she walked into the gathering room and the whole band Bon Jovi had been sitting at the front table.
Krystal had been a fan for quite awhile and it was a bit of a shock to find out she woud be working in close quarters with them all on a daily basis. She hadn't known what to expect at all but after the brief welcoming meeting and being led around by Amanda who was very kind and helpful she found that they were just a bunch of normal guys, for the most part. and after about a week she was no longer nervous in thier presence. Even around Jon who she secretly adored. He was the one she expected to be the most stand-offish to the help, but the reality was quite the contrary. Within the first week he had made sure she was invited to the after parties with the rest of the crew and band and even took time to introduce her around to inner circle of the crew. Now after a little over a month on the road, her relationshhip with him, though professional was very easy and friendly. They talked everyday and joked and she found he was much more than just a pretty face but he was very down to earth and just plain fun to be around. Did she still have that silly rockstar crush on him? Of course but all things considered she knew it best to keep those kind of thoughts to herself.
She glanced back at the young blond girl one more time before she disappeared around the corner and hearing commotion behind her she knew it was time to get to work so dismissed her curiosity as she turned around to face the two men coming thru the door.
She took a bit of haughty stance and glanced at her watch in a perturbed way and said.. " you two I swear.... always running late" as she tapped her one foot a bit.
Richie laughed heartily as he went to sit down on the couch and Jon just shrugged and said " Sorry Krys, rough night" he wiggled his eyebrows in a naughty fashion and flashed her that grin that melted hearts the world over.
Krystal ignored the fluttering that smile started in her tummy and didn't let him off that easily.
"Amanda is in a snit you know... you were supposed to be here 30 minutes ago"
He just groaned a bit as he thought of Amandas temper and replied "Well where is she then?"
"you're lucky she decided to run out for a few things herself first" Krys grinned letting him know she had been messing with him
Jon stood there for a minute not knowing quite what to do at being screwed with, not many people had the nerve. Most were either afraid of pissing him off or too busy kissing his ass to try to tease him at all. Thats why he had come to like Krys so much. He knew she was a fan before she gottent he job, Amanda had told him so, but never once had she let on that she thought of him as anything more than boss at first and now somewhat of a friend. It was refreshing for once to have someone near him actually not kissing his ass.
He reached out and ruffled her dark brown hair playfully and said "You know Krys one of these days...." and shook his finger at her before taking off over to clothing rack and pulling off the outfit he had to put on to be altered.
