Singing Through Protection

Savannah watched and listened as the introductions went around and as Eric asked more of Devan. It seemed they would be doing more then a concert but a smaller pop up concert as well. She smiled and couldnt seem to take her eyes off of Jason for more then a few glances. While Devin was preoccupied with Eric and talking about the pop up concert, Savannah talked with Jason and stole him away as the two seemed to hit it off.

Jason helped her go through the run down and showed her a few things about what would happen the night of the show. It was all very nice and for the time being, she had forgotten about anyone but Jason. The whole place seemed to fade away and only Jason seemed to matter. It was a school girl crush for sure and she was beside herself.

The evening came to an end and it was time to leave and head back to the hotel with Devin. On the walk back to the hotel, she looked over at him and gave a slight smile. "So I take it, Eric, is entrusting you with more work. I would ask for more money. He cant just geta way with using you any way he wants." She was making small talk but her mind was still focused on Jason and how well the evening had went with him.

Yeah chase the money and lose the life. Haha. Not really but sometimes it feels that way when the overtime becomes to much. I dont mind nine hour days, just takes a couple days to adjust.

Singing Through Protection

Yeah I am going to try and post tomorrow. Work just put us on nine hour shifts. Overtime. Yay!?!

"Well I have managed that so I should be good then. My family thinks I am already the best there is. I think they are a bit biased though." She laughed a bit as she followed him through the maze of food carts and people selling things. Soon they found their way to the security and she showed her id as well and went into the building still walking with Devin.

It was a lot more chaotic then what she was used to and a bit overwhelming. Taking a breath, she stayed neared him and followed him as her eyes kept spinning around the room taking in all the sight and movement. Everyone had a job and everyone seemed focused just on their job to make sure the show was a success tomorrow evening.

Thankful that he didnt leave her when he could of, it wasnt like she needed protection all the way in here. "Its so busy and so many people to make this happen" She half whispered to herself and talking to him. Telling herself to just breath and relax was on repeat in her mind as she made her way through the people with Devin at her side. She then saw Eric with the twins and took a deep breath. It was now or never, meeting them as he seemed to waving them over. "I guess thats our cue to go meet them." Her voice sounding a bit like something was lodged in her throat. She smiled brightly and made her way over to them, seeming a bit eager to meet the guy she had a crush on.

Walking up to them, Savannah froze for a moment as if she lost all ability to talk or think. She just stared at Jason and locked eyes with him. Realizing after some time what she had been doing, she shook her head slightly and laughed nervously. "Sorry, I didnt mean to stare, I am Savannah..." She muttered and gave another smile again as she watched the two of them and Eric. Her mind completely forgetting that Devin was with her for a moment.

His words rang deep within her as he spoke them, about how some made it and some didnt. She only hoped that she would fall into the category of making it. The next thing he did took her by surprise as he mentioned a photo and got out his phone, taking a quick pic of her looking up at her sign before she could even realize what he was saying. "Hey... I suppose one picture will be okay." She grumbled a bit but in the end the quick snap earned him a smile.

When she noticed the spider man walk up, she was a bit on edge and just stepped a bit closer to Devin as he came up. It seemed that Devin trusted this dressed up person well enough and soon enough another picture was being taken of the two of them. It was almost as if this spiderman seen them as a couple. She smiled and went along with it and before she knew it, several more pictures were being taken as more and more people seemed to show up that were dressed up.

Savannah was laughing and forgot all about the rehearsal as the picture shoot took place with all of the characters one would only hope of running into at times square. Once it was said and done, she laughed a bit more and then turned to look at him and shook her head. "You probably dont have any memory left on your phone after that. I am sure my parents will get a kick out of them. They always wished me the best of luck. They are my top fans by far."

"Yes I think we better too. I wouldnt want to be late to it and make a horrible first impression." She gave a slight chuckle as her hand found his arm and they made their way through the crowd and headed towards the garden where the rehearsal was to take place.

As they left the restaurant behind and made their way back into the busy city streets, she kept close by him as she followed. Hearing him tell her to follow him and to stay close brought a bit of worry to her face as she reached out and grabbed his arm as if she was a child scared of losing her parent. She didnt handle the crowded streets very well and sighed as he seemed insistent on dragging her through them.

The denser the people got, the closer she walked beside him and her hand gripped his arm. Soon they were at time square and she let go of him as her eyes went wide with surprise and she glanced around the view. At the mention of seeming like you were in the middle of it all, she saw him glance up and followed suit. Looking up was a magnificent sight. Every sign lit up and glowing with one thing or another. When he pointed out the sign she was on, her mouth dropped open and she just stared at it in awe.

This was a nice surprise and though she hadnt planned on it, was very thankful he brought her here to see such a sight. "Oh my. Devin. It really is like I am everywhere..." She stated as she continued to look and gaze up at all the signs as her eyes then slowly went back to him. "Just how many times have you been to New York City? To know this was a one of a kind sight to see.." She questioned as she stared at him a bit longer before looking back up at the sign of her and the twins. Jasons picture causing a smile to form on her lips, her crush for him still evident if one was paying attention.

The meal was fantastic and the conversation was as well. It was a nice and easy time and relaxing, taking her mind off of the upcoming rehearsal and more importantly the big show tomorrow night. It was a nice change for her mind as the last few hours her mind was stuck on the show and nervous as hell. He helped ease that by distracting her and taking her out for dinner.

When they had finished and she went to grab the bill but he was a bit quicker and scooped it up right before she could. Damn this man, he technically worked for her or for her manager but still. He couldnt be responsible for her every meal and action. She allowed it this time but the next meal would be on her. She really enjoyed hearing about his family and the place he had come from. Soon it was time to be heading out and she knew she didnt have the time to fight with him over the bill.

Once it was paid she stood up and left with him, heading to their next destination, rehearsal. Her heart sped up and the nerves seemed to be returning as she looked at him and gave a slight smile. "Its almost time. Thank you for dinner, the next one will be on me." She stated as she tried to concentrate on anything but meeting the Duo and singing in front of them for the first time.

Savannah waited and then as they were showed the table, she took a seat across from him and slipped off her coat as well as she then ordered a soup as well for starters. Ordering a water to go with it as she waited for it to be brought out and he continued on with his story of where he was from and how he came to be the guard for her during this tour.

"I can imagine they are bored out of their mind. both kids out of the house and no job. Maybe they should look into traveling themselves. See the world." She suggest as the food was then brought out with a nice speed and they werent left waiting to long. She began to eat and nodded to him as he mentioned their next few destinations for shows. "Yes, that is right. Three here. Some in DC then down to florida. Also places I havent been. I started out in a small town of the big state of Texas. No one ever thought I would amount to anything as a singer. I mean it is Texas afterall and country music. " She half laughed as she continued to eat.

Her eyes dropping down every now and then taking in the sight of the v neck shirt he was wearing. She was definitely glad that her guard was easy on the eyes. A eye candy for her to admire as the tour days began and she would be found completely alone most of the time. Or at least thats what she thought.

Savannah watched him as he suggested leaving the hotel. She nodded, putting a little trust in him about what food was actually good. "Why would Eric lie to me then or did he just not really care? Maybe he has poor taste buds." She joked a bit as she made her way down to the lobby. Soon their coats were on and they were out the door and headed into the busy streets of NYC.

Savannah wasnt used to such busy foot traffic and she was a bit weary as they made their way down the street. Staying close and being completely aware of where he was and who else was around her at all times. She never let him stray to far from her as they made their way to the restaurant of his choice. It was a bit smaller and she walked in with him and smile fell on her face. Happy to be off of the busy street and in what seemed like a very nice place even if it was on the small side.

As she told them there would be a wait, she gave a simple smile and then looked to him and stepped off to the side as well. His family sounded nice and she wasnt sure what else to say about them so she had let it go. "Scattered family. Well at least they all seem rather happy. And where is it you usually reside?" She asked curious if he was in any of those places as well or somewhere completely different then his family he mentioned. She took note that he didnt mention a girlfriend or wife or children. It was a relief to know she wasnt pulling a family man from his family.

Savannah had already lost track of time and hadnt realized that she had paced the afternoon away. . It was getting close to the time for rehearsal and meeting the pair. She sighed a bit as she sat on the couch and listened to him as he began to speak. He gave her key points that started to calm her down just a bit as she continued to listen to him. She wasnt the main show and she had no need to worry so much. The big deal was after her and she only had a few songs to do.

"You are right. They are the main act and I will just go and sing like its an everyday thing. No big deal. I just need to stay calm and enjoy myself." She took a breath and relaxed a bit more as she sat there and watched him as he went behind her and closed the fridge behind her. He was also right that calling in wasnt going to be allowed and she would become a disgrace if she backed out on them. Everyone would know and her career would take a turn for the worse.

"That is true. They must like me because they invited me on the whole tour and not just part of it. Good key points. See you are a savior already." She gave a slight smile and then stood up as he mentioned getting food. Yes, she needed to eat and then freshen up. It was a big night tonight. "Breakfast no not yet, its already past that. Do you have family back home or where ever he found you from?" She asked as she got up and then looked to him and raised a brow. Changing the topic from her to him. "Eric said the food here was good, it was why he booked this one for us. Shall we?" She asked him as she started to the door.
