He just chuckled and ran out the room. I finally got up and went into the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and washed my face. Then I got changed into jean shorts, a tank top and flip-flops. I took a last visit to the bathroom when I brushed my hair and put it in a loose bun on top of my head.
'Y/N are you ready?' He walked into the room.
'Yeah.' I walked over to him. 'I still don't think it's a good idea.' I sighed.
'Relax, it's gonna be fine.' He kissed my forehead and we walked out the room then the house. We hopped into his car and didn't stop until we reached the building he had rehearsal in.
I was super nervous my heart was beating in my throat and my palms were sweating. I know I saw them perform before and I even met them two months before backstage but that was different. That time I came as a fan and only Eric payed attention to me. But this time I came as Eric's girlfriend and it's different.
'It's going to be fine. Don't worry dear.' He squeezed my left hand. I let out a big sigh then got out. I waited for Eric to get out of the car and we went inside. I was still nervous.
We went through a big hall and then we entered a room. There was a recording booth and a big open space where their instruments laid untouched. There was a big couch enough for three people to sit on it and it was actually taken by Paul, Bruce and Gene. I literally froze in the doorway. I had lump in my mouth and I found it hard to breathe.
'Hi guys!' Eric waved at their direction and they all looked at us.
'Hi Eric.' Bruce got up first giving him a quick hug and then looked at me with a smile on his face. 'Hello, I'm Bruce.' He extended his hand to me.
'Hi, I'm Y/N.' I reached for his hand and shook it.
'Hi, you must be Eric's girlfriend. I'm Paul.' He walked next to Bruce.
'And I'm Gene but you probably know us all.' He said with a cheeky smile on his face.
'She's been to ten concerts so far.' Eric put a hand around my waist. 'You probably remember her from January. When we had those few people with backstage passes.' He explained.
'Oh.' Gene said. 'I thought you would date someone famous and old enough and not a fan.' He shrugged and sat down on the couch.
My heart got beaten by that.
'That was uncalled for.' Eric said angrily.
'Gene, be nice for once. She's obviously nervous and you ain't making it easy on her.' Paul rolled his eyes. 'Don't worry about him.' He let out a genuine smile at me.
'Go sit down and eat something while we tune up the guitars, Y/N.' Bruce motioned towards the couch Gene now has left.
I looked up at Eric and he gave a reassuring smile and a kiss on my forehead so I walked over and sat down. He went behind the drums and waited for the others.
That lump was in my throat again as soon as I was left alone on that furniture. Why would Gene be so cruel? I didn't do anything wrong. And what does he mean by that comment?
The more I was thinking about it the more my heart ached. They slowly began to play a song but I couldn't listen to them as I got up and ran out the room. I didn't go too far though as I only stayed in the hallway. I was sitting on the floor, my back against the wall. I know I over-thought what Gene said but I couldn't get it out of my mind.
'Y/N are you okay?' Eric kneeled down in front of me.
'Yeah.' I nodded avoiding eye contact.
'I know you lying.' He put a finger under my chin forcing me to look at him. 'It's about what Gene said?' He asked and I nodded.
'He's right.' I bit my lower lip. 'I'm not famous or old enough. I'm just a nineteen year old girl whose dreams came true when I met you.' The tears rolled down my cheeks, one by one. 'You're also out of my league.' I sniffed.
'Don't you say that. You're a beautiful woman and I couldn't ask for a better partner.' He wiped off the tears.
'They don't even like me.' I looked into his brow eyes.
'Who cares if they don't like you? I love you and that's what matters.' He smiled.
'You what?' I smiled slightly but still doubting if I heard that right.
'Yeah, I love you, Y/F/N Y/L/N.' He drew circles on my right cheek.
'I love you too Eric.' I whispered the words and I just couldn't believe him.
'I love you more Y/N/N.' He embraced me in a hug then kissed me. 'I talked with the boys and Paul said you can punch Gene if that helps.' He let out a devilish smile and my eyes lit up. 'Something says that you like the idea.' He chuckled.
He got up and pulled me up from the floor and we went inside.
'Okay, I'm ready.' Gene said closing his eyes and covering his most valuable body part with his hands.
I stood in front of him and I was preparing to hit his chest but when the others started to hype me up I changed my plan and I slapped him on the face.
It must've been too hard because after two hours it was still noticeable but he wasn't whining about it at least. I mean he was the one telling rude things aimed at me so he got what he deserved.
