hug. She was nothing but grins.
The other band, Audio Brush played, and our hearts sank. They were good. Really good. We cheered with the crowd and gave them little head tilts of acknowledgment.
We stood there and closed our eyes and nodded as the judge, that huge Wookie from before and Tabby handed the win to Audio Brush. We scored a respectable four point seven though to their four point eight.
Tabby gave the winners all hugs then walked over to us and gave us hugs too. She was such an outgoing person. I blushed when she said to me, “That was a kickin' beat. Good job.”
It was like a funeral march from there. As we started clearing our gear from the stage. Mei again was right there by my side, helping us. She said to us as we lashed our equipment to the cart, “Chin up. You lot have an impressive combined total. You may still move on at the awarding of the Half-Js Sunday night.
There was a slim chance she was right. We tried to cheer up as we loaded the equipment into Mick's truck then headed back to watch Mei's brother play. Mick held us back as Darin led the way to the proper stage, people just instinctively parted the way for him. Then our black-haired friend asked in a hushed voice, “So, Animal would be a good catch right?”
My face hurt so much with the huge smile I was sporting. “I knew it! You're sweet on him!”
Caroline looked worried, and I understood why, knowing Mick's propensity for sleeping with someone and discarding them. But there was something in the way she was looking at Darin. It reminded me of how my breath was catching every time Mei touched me. She truly liked him.
She caught Carol's hesitation and said, “It's not like that. The past few month's I've sort of... I don't know. He's...” Then she got a soft look on her face I had never seen before. “I'd let him call me Michalea.” She smiled.
Carol blurted out, “Bloody hell! You're smitten! I never thought I'd live to see the day the great Mick was tamed.”
Mick stepped closer to her and gave a smoldering, suggestive look down at Caroline that would have melted even the straightest girls panties and Carol swallowed and blushed. Mick said in a purr, “Nobody tames me. But I'm thinking I really want to tame Animal.”
Then she got a look on her face like she was unsure of herself for once in her life and she asked, “I mean, he's cute right?”
I was nodding. “Yes, he is. I think you'd make a smart couple so long as you don't dump the poor bloke.”
She grinned in relief then turned and ran to catch up with the man, yelling, “Hey you sodding plonker, slow down. It's like your head is always somewhere else. I swear you need a keeper to knock some sense into you!” She looped her arm in his.
We all shared a grin. Mei's face got serious and she whispered to us, “Was it just me or did anyone else have the sudden urge drop their knickers with that look she just gave Caroline?”
Carol grinned sheepishly and admitted, “I thought I had. Bloody hell.” We all laughed and followed Mick as she pulled her man along. He didn't know it yet, but he was her man now, heaven help the poor bloke.
We snuck behind the stage. Well, not much sneaking was involved since we had our badges. Then peeked under the backdrop as Mei's brother played for J8. They won, so would be moving on to the next round for sure.
Then all too soon it was time to head out before the last performance and traffic got insane. Mei walked us to the truck where Animal headed off to his car. But not before Mick told him firmly. “You're picking me up at my place at eight. You are taking me to dinner.”
The poor man didn't know what to say so he just smiled and nodded. We waved to him as he headed off. Then we started laughing as Mick said to herself, “I'll have him trained up in no time.” She looked around at us. “Hey now, don't make me start on you lot
