“Absolutely, James.”
It was still a few minutes before the Stouts took the stage so the four concert goers chatted a bit more between cheap beers. Half the venue was already full, as Ozomatli always guaranteed a big turnout.
James had mentioned to Bette that there may be label reps in the audience as they often patrolled the bigger venues in the area on the hunt for the next big thing.
When the promoter took to the stage to let the crowd know that the show would be starting in just a few minutes Bette excused herself to go check on the band.

Backstage
The band was excited and nervous waiting in their green room. They had met the members of Ozomatli at soundcheck earlier in the day, and were blown away by each one’s cool disposition. Kit was floored when a couple of the band members had asked her to sign their old CD jacket covers from one of her albums she recorded early in her career.
Each of the Stouts, including the lead singer, were huddled with their arms around each other getting pumped for their gig.
“Alright guys, let’s just go out there and play a good show tonight. We’ve been kickin’ ass each time we rehearse so we’re totally gonna nail this performance and wow San Diego, right?” Angus preached, ever the band’s designated cheerleader.
“Damn straight!” Alice answered as the rest of the women laughed in agreement.
“You’re anything but ‘damn straight!’” Bette hollered with a joking smile directed at Alice as she walked into their group huddle.
“Hey Little P!” a chorus of voices greeted simultaneously.
The talent manager slipped in between Alice and Kit.
“I’m so proud of you guys. You’re going to be awesome tonight, I can feel it! Just wanted to let you all know that I love each and every one of you, you deserve this, you’ve worked so hard for this, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.”
“Thanks Baby Sis. You’ve been so good to us.”
“You really have, Bette.” Shane remarked, Carmen and Tayo nodding in agreement.
Alice squeezed Bette’s shoulder. “We love you too, Little P.” She offered a genuine smile to her longtime friend.

Booyah! It’s an extended play (pun intended) of my favorite musical odyssey. Yabba-dabba frikin’ DOO! And to top it off, I scored sexy points from YOU!?! Awww, you warmed my heart and made me blush (which if you knew me you’d know ain’t easy ;). I will think of you this weekend whilst gigging with my band. Now that you’ve confirmed my “sneaking suspicion” that James was referring to Jodie, will we find that he and Bette conspire to pull the rug out from under Aaron by becoming the Stouts’ agent too??? That would be so deliciously wicked! Loved how you wrote T&B’s reunion – I could feel the high voltage energy (I’m such a romantic schmo :) . And as much as I am head over heels for all things TiBette, Shane in Aviator glasses sounded really HOT! I love, Love, LOVE this story MeLL. As always, I patiently await your next post. Hope you have a awesome weekend. (PS – I like the cliff hangers. Are you and Kins competing for who can dole out the most sweet torture on your adoring readers?)
What a great update! Bette and Tina seem back on track. And don’t worry I won’t expect you to double post ( just a welcomed surprise when you do). I just love this story, so keep up the good writing. Still waiting to see what happens when they’re alone at the Austin music festival. I see sparks for sure :-)
Looks like they’re going to get bussssy. ;-)
Now that’s what I wanted to read. I see that James does know Tina, I hope that it is good. And the moment that Bette and Tina saw one another was powerful and wonderful, I loved it. I hope when they get out of there it is to a place to talk a little and then play a lot.
What???? How could stop there? Please tell me the next chapter is coming soon, real soon? I missed your story!!!!!
Did I mention that I can’t go 7 days without a meloveslu fix?
Oh no not again, you such a tease my friend ahahha. That was great and glad Bette and Tina are ok and now let see some B&T hot stuff please lol. Please post more, thanks!
I think I missed that story as much as everyobody else…. but I am realising it is my own fault since you won’t post if I don’t! I feel that for the sake of your fans I should release you from arrangement. It’ll be doubly good for me also as I consider myself a great fan! You batted well my friend and as usual it is a home run! Thanks chuckle Kx
Absolutely wonderful sigh! How i love this story :) More please soon :)
Great update. So glad they have each made apologies and are okay with each other. I just knew when James was telling Bette about what happened it was Jodi and Tina he was talking about. That bad woman is really a piece of work. Hopefully Bette will tell her to go to hell when she talks to her again because we know jodi will not give up. Now let the girls get on with their weekend and Bette can tell Tina she will go to Austin with her. Can hardly wait for the next chapter. Thanks.
Brilliant!!!!! Bette has better thoughts now, all because of love. I hope they will be good for real now. Keep it up.
I just knew as soon as I started to read this update you were going to leave us hanging with a cliff. Great update as usual.
I`m glad they are back together.Thank you very much for another amazing update.PPS
Woah MeLL :-0 …. No doubt! Today is a day of seating on the edge of my seat! First Kins, now you… I hope this won’t become a trend to be followed by other writers as it won’t be good for the condition of my heart :-p lol…and one week is so looongggg…. Especially if you sit only on the edge!? Its called Torture not teasing anymore ;-p he3… anyway thanks for the update… I do enjoy reading your story, so believe me that you are indeed a good writer who’s doing a very well done job ;-)
