Josh set his phone down and took a sip of his coffee. "6 more days," He thought to himself, "6 more days then I'm on a break." Josh would be lying if he said he wasn't super anxious about the upcoming 6 day tour in his hometown of Columbus, Ohio. Then again, when was Josh not anxious about a show.
Josh was quickly shaken from his train of thought when a young woman walked up to him.
"Hey, there," She said. Josh just assumed she was another fan ready to take a picture, so he began to adjust his bright yellow hair a bit.
"You've got some loud hair, yah know," The girl said. Josh smiled, but his confusion must have showed on his face cause the girl continued, "What, never had a girl subtly try to flirt with you?" Josh's lips pursed into a smile. He then decided to examine the girl. She had a medium body type, and a beautiful face, featured with rosy cheeks, a light freckle sprinkled nose, thin pink lips, and stunning hazel eyes. Her face was framed with dark Caramel hair, pulled up into a messy ponytail.
"Is it cool if I sit," She asked him. Josh finally spoke, "Uhm, yeah, no that's cool." They both smiled. They immediately hit it off.
"I'm here on business," She told him, "I'm a journalist and I'm doing research in a bunch of tourist cities." "Columbus? A tourist city," Josh thought to himself, "Wait. TDC. We're gonna be packed this week." He looked around and noticed two girls in line for coffee. They were both looking right at him and were extra squirrely. He took a photo with them earlier this morning, so it was only a matter of time before the place filled up with various people wanting to meet him.
"Do you know any good Tourist spots," The girl asked him. Josh thought for a moment. He wondered if she was using him, but his soft heart screamed she wasn't. "Yeah, there's this band that's coming home from a worldwide tour and they're performing 5 shows this week, and an art show," He told her. "Ooh, that'd be amazing! What's are the venue's?" She began to pull out a pad of paper. "Don't bother, I'll show you," He offered. The girl was smart and seemed skeptical at first. "No worries, it's just down the street, but if you'd feel safer I can meet you there." "I like that idea," she said calmly, "Sorry, it's just I just -" "Don't worry, I understand. You're a smart girl." He said to her with a smile and she blushed. "Okay, meet me there at noon," He continued, "Uh, I never caught your name!" "Oh, of course it's Alex," She told him sweetly. "And I'm Josh." He replied, looking for some reaction to see if she knew who he was. "Okay, Josh, mind if I get your number?" "Uh," He hesitated. "Sure. Uh here." He gave her his number to his texting app just in case she wasn't who she said she was. She sent him a text to made sure it worked, then they went their separate ways. Josh slipped out of the coffee shop just in time, too. He then got in his car and headed to Express to meet up with Tyler.
