Carry paused to admire the new name the band had chosen for themselves. She still couldn't believe that Charley had wanted them to be called Carry Worth And The Wonders. The band had vetoed that and Carry had agreed. Not that she minded having her name in the title, but it was just so sixties!<br><br>The stage crew had set up the bands gear for rehearsal and Carry moved to the mike, carrying her white and silver Fender. That had been a present from her mum and dad, a reward for winning the talent contest. The old acoustic she had used then was now enshrined on the wall of her bedroom!<br><br>She plugged the axe in and switched on, tuned it up. While waiting for the rest of the band, she struck some random chords. And that damn tune that was in her head, that had been on the radio in her mum's car on the way to the studio this morning, came out.<br><br>The opening chords of Lynyrd Skynyrd's Sweet Home Alabama echoed around the sound stage. She grimaced. She didn't exactly hate that genre of rock music, but it wasn't <em>their</em> music. But she was playing it now....<br><br>♫♪Big wheels keep on turnin', Carry me home back to you...♫♪ She sang, and then couldn't remember the rest of the lyrics. She stopped.<br><br>"Okay, girls, are we ready? Kim? Where the fuck is Kimberly?"

				Lou chuckled as she stared at the name splashed on the drum. It was perfect. They had went through several rounds of suggestions, vetoeing and fights even over the proposed names. Lou wanted them to be called Anal Cunt only for her to find out that there had already been a band called that. But this..this name was just pure awesomeness. It nailed them perfectly.<br><br>She held on to her old Guild S-100, which her mother had bought her from the old man who lived next to them. It was a good axe..besides what mattered more was what you did with your instrument and not what your instrument was..and Lou sure as hell knew how to kick ass. She smirked when Carry asked about being ready. "Ready? I was fucking born ready..now if only Kim could stop doing whatever the fuck she's upto and get behind the damn instrument, we could blast some shit here." Her hands moved over her instrument in rather random manner..without any specific in her mind.<br><br>The rehearsal was something they all had looked forward to..well at least Lou did. But then again she pretty much looked forward to any oppurtunity to play.

				Emma heard Carrie calling Kim's name, the irritation in her voice on the rise by the minute. Thing was both Em and Kim were momentarily disposed. That was because the two had their tongues in each others mouths and enjoying their latest buzz they burned through far too quickly.<br><br>"Shit girl, we gotta go. Carrie's gonna get pissed, " Em said, unable to suppress a giggle. "Come on..." Em urged Kim as she emerged from an empty room off the main rehearsal and stage area.<br><br>Wiping the moisture from her lips, and the shit-eating grin on her face she offered to those waiting, "She's coming."<br><br>Em took her place, taking up her bass guitar and flipping the strap around her neck and shoulder. She wore a comfortable pair of gray-washed shredded jeans and a black spaghetti strap top. She kicked off her sandals and got serious.<br><br>♫♪ thrum! ♫♪ thrum-ah-thrum ♫♪ thrum! ♫♪<br><br>The deep notes issued from Em's bass guitar as she got loose and prepared herself to follow along with whatever song they were planning on rehearsing.<br><br>"Did I hear you singing Skynyrd?" Em said to Carrie with crooked, playful grin.

				"Kane", as he liked to call himself--his real name was too stuffy for his liking-- wandered somewhat listlessly back stage.&nbsp; Their really wasn't much to do after his work was done. just waiting around for him to have to do his job again. Oh well. At least he could watch the girls while they practice.<br><br>Currently, still behind the stage and such, he watched, from a distance, as Em came running out of the room, saying Kim was coming....<br><br>Now, here's the thing. Kane here is a certified pervert. Seeing her running out, all giggly and grinning the way she was, brought about some rather, shall we say, interesting thoughts to his mind. <br><br>Briefly, he would look to the other guy,&nbsp; as he would slowly make his way around the stage, to a position where he could watch the band practice, listening to them.&nbsp; He enjoyed watching them. The music was something he was into, which was a major bonus about this job. Even better was just how hot all the members of the band were...

				"Gimme a sec.." she says, grabbing up her pipe, and taking one final hit from it as the other left the room.&nbsp; Slowly exhaling the rather identifiable smoke, she sighed, sitting there a moment longer, relaxing a moment longer before grabbing up her bag, putting the pipe and lighter into a plastic bag, and grabbing some Altoids, she waited several moments, pulling her messenger bag over her shoulder, and headed into the practice room.&nbsp; A little red-eyed, and with rosy cheeks, the girl was adjusting her sleeveless tanktop, as she moved around to the drum set.&nbsp; <br><br>Slipping onto the seat, she grabbed her sticks from her bag, "Sorry.&nbsp; Had a call, trainer, -again-." she says with a slight pout as she settles in, looking over her band mates, idly twirling her sticks between her fingers, testing out the pedals for the bass drum and cymbals.<br><br>"I will not answer the phone before practice, ok?" she says with a smile.

				<div class="floatright">(http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x111/Lammy519/Models/5364b990.jpg)</div>Kasia wasn't entirely sure why it was necessary for her to follow the band around like some kind of roadie, but it wasn't all bad, really. She's now got the chance to see most of the country and be paid for it! Not to mention with a bunch of really attractive people around. Try as she might, the young girl couldn't think of the last time she was able to look in either direction and find someone that she wouldn't mind having a 'chat' with. Her favourite direction today was right in front of her, where the members of the Sounds of Sinners were getting ready to jam. <br><br>She was sitting amongst a bunch of empty chairs wit a sketchbook and a few pencils. It was Cash's job to figure out what each of the girls' dress would be. Carrie was a natural rock princess sort of girl - wear as little as possible but have it flair to the max. Everyone else, strangely enough, seemed to fit the rocker / skater look - multi-coloured hair, accessories that wouldn't really work unless you were in a band, ripped tee and jeans. Kasia wasn't sure if there was really a divide in the group because of it, but she wasn't going to bring it up as long as someone paid her.<br><br>Now unable to really think of any ensembles for any of the girls, the wardrobe artist leaned back in her metal chair. Her feet were off the ground and on another chair in front of her, crossed. If no one knew any better, it would seem that this girl was some sort of journalist writing on the newest fad in popular music. Anyone who has spent a minute with Kasia would know that she was just a girl doing a job most men would want: getting paid to look at and dress a number of fine young women.

				Adrian was late, it wasn't a normal occurrence but not a new one either with her time was subjective, if she was late it was no big deal and withing 10 minutes didn't count but if your late meeting her you might as well have spit on her shoes, that's how irritated she'll be.<br><br>As it was she was pretty late today and already expected to catch shit about it so didn't see a problem sitting out in the guys car for a few extra minutes making an effort of straitening out her clothes so it wasn't immediately obvious that she was late because she'd been getting laid. her hair was a mess and there was no hidding the fresh hickey at the base of her neck. <br><br>Giving the random guy a smirk she got out of the car and walked towards the building without looking back having no real interest in the guy now. She walked in with a light smirk playing on her lips. "sorry" She said sounding completely insincere as she crossed the room sitting down behind the keyboard and adjusting the mic to where I wanted it.

				Carry grinned at her backing guitarist. "Yeah... Emma's disappeared to god know's where, and Adrian's late too! Not like her."<br><br>She was just about to send one of the roadies to go look for the missing band members when the door to the studio opened and Adrian wandered in, apologising with a total lack of sincerity. That wasn't unusual... But Emma emerging from a side room with the same colour lipstick Kim was wearing smeared around her mouth, followed a few moments later by Kim, and both of them smelling of something other than tobacco...<br><br>"Jeesus, Kim, that stuff screws your head up! And do you think maybe you guys could fuck each other on your own time?" In truth, though, she was jealous. She fancied Kim like mad. Hell she fancied all the band members. But it seemed that they all saw her as some kind of outsider. The fact that the band was her idea and it was her vocals that won the talent contest - she wondered vaguely whether she could have done it without their help. Probably not. They needed to be a team.<br><br>"Yeah," She answered Em. "Mum had the radio on in the car and the tune got stuck in my head. I can't remember enough of the words to get it out. Perhaps we should cover the song?" She giggled. Stupid suggestion.<br><br>"OKAY! Let's rehears. Let's start with the one that's making us money...."<br>Carry set her Fender aside and took the radio-mike in both hands, as the band behind her launched into the opening riff of Eternal Flame, the sweet, sexy rock ballad that was a hit for the Bangles in the 80s, Atomic Kitten in 2001, and was now a top 40 hit for the young up and coming band called Sounds of Sinners.<br><br>♪♫Close your eyes, give me you hand... (Darlin')♪♫<br>♪♫Do you feel my heart beating, do you understand?♪♫<br>♪♫Do you feel the same? Or am I only dreaming?♪♫<br>♪♫Is this burning an eternal Flame?♪♫<br><br>She sang, the thing she enjoyed doing most, putting all the passion she could into the words.

				Adrian laughed lightly to herself amused that the others had in effect taken the heat from her by getting up to their own mischief. She adjusted a few of the dials as Carry talked and played a few bars making sure everything sounded perfect the perfectionist in her taking hold as she focused on an immediate task.<br><br>Just before Carry started the rehearsal Adrian cracked her knuckles pushed her hair behind her ears and caressed the keys playing just as the opening riffed started, her fingertips danced over the keys easily, the song wasn't exactly taxing but pretty and fun to play. Adrian listened to Carry sing out the lyrics singing the ♪♫Ooo ooo<br>ooo♪♫ backround part as the second verse begin being careful to keep the melody correct.

				As if on some cue, because God had a horrible, horrible taste in 'humor, Charlotte 'Charley' Tabitha entered the scene as Carry sang her heart out. It didn't matter if Carry was singing beautifully (which she was) or she showed amazing charisma (which she was). All that mattered to the older woman was that Carry was trying to rehearse without her knowing.<br><br>She stuck out like a sore thumb among the others, with her hair combed and pulled into a bun and her choice of clothing being nothing but serious business suits and high heels. Then again, she would have to look serious if she was to be the manager of the Sound of Sinners. She still felt like the The Wonders would have done fine but was outnumbered. As usual.<br><br>The manager saw the rehearsal already starting and was wondering she should be throwing a tantrum or act like an adult. Though the first part would be amazing to do, she was obligated to do the second. No one else would after all.<br><br>"Caroline Fransworth," the woman said, her voice loud and attempting to carry over the music as she attempted to get the band's attention.&nbsp; "What have I told you about rehearsing while I'm not here supervising all of you? I just needed a <em>few</em> more minutes because I was having a discussion with the concert promoter to get the required amenities you girls all requested! Honestly, do you think it's easy to get all the things you girls requested? Do you know how <em>hard</em> it is to find a-"<br><br>She suddenly stopped in the middle of her rant, and she sniffed the air a few times with a scowl on her face. She smelled something that wasn't very legal, she was certain of that. She turned to the general direction of where Emma and Kim were but didn't look at them directly. It was clear she could smell it but couldn't pin point the location. <br><br>Charley was literally fuming at the moment. She pulled her hand back so she could cross her arms across her chest as she tapped her foot up and down. She looked like a disapproving mother finding her child misbehaving. Except she had several children, they were all legal and they were doing very adult things instead.<br><br>"And you're going to try and rehearse while <em>one of you are possibly high</em>," she said, now pinching the bridge of her nose to stop a headache from coming on. "Fine, fine! Continue rehearsing if you want. But I'm going to have a talk with all of you, one by one, after this concerning some things, kay? Alright then, do what you need to do."

				Carry reacted in a manner that was, for her at least, fairly typical. She kept singing.<br><br>♪♫Don't be such, a stuffy old biddy♪♫<br>♪♫And my name is Carry Wo-orth, Not Caroline!♪♫<br>♪♫And the weed is mine, No need to blame the o-thers♪♫<br>♪♫It was burning with a smokey flame♪♫<br><br>When she got to the refrain she moved back to where Kim sat at the drums, and smiled at her. She sang the words to the pretty purple-haired girl.<br><br>♪♫Say my name, Sun shines through the rain♪♫<br>♪♫A whole life so lonely, then you come and ease the pain♪♫<br>♪♫I don't wanna loose this feeling♪♫<br><br>She blew the drummer a small kiss and turned away as the band played the instrumental break.

				Em thrummed along with the simple songs, almost bored. The songs only called for a few basic bass chords and so keeping up was relatively easy. Though she might look bored, there wasn't anything else she'd rather be doing; playing the bass and with some hot, cool chicks no less. Can't beat that! She could be a flirt on stage, with her band members and others. Absent any real sexy riffs though Emma sauntered and wove about the stage. <br><br>Carrie certainly was easy on the eyes. That hint of Asian in her complexion was really appealing. The keyboardist she found to be especially cute, though she didn't know her at all. Was she straight? Couldn't tell, but she'd have to poke around and find out for sure. There was of course Kim on the drums, they were kinda-sorta-not seeing each other, on again, off again. And there was Lou beside her at the rhythm guitar. She looked mean, tall and totally looking like her name. That girl stirred up all sorts of yummy and new feelings inside Em, places where she'd never been before. She'd have to test those waters out for sure. <br><br>Em piped in with her own backing vocals where appropriate. She wasn't an especially gifted singer by any means but could hold her own even still.<br><br>Carrie moved off aside while the instruments took over. Em used the chance to slide over closer to Lou, giving the rough, sexy looking gal her best innocent seeming, doe-eyed look.

				Standing off to the side was an older woman.&nbsp; Some could think maybe she was a chaperon, or an older sister of one of the band members.&nbsp; But she wasnt.&nbsp; Marie was the make up and hair artist assigned to the band.&nbsp; Not that she had much hope the way they ahd reacted so far.&nbsp; Typical spolit brats, they thought they knew it all, and had left her standing off to the side as they put their own slap on.&nbsp; She wasnt impressed, but she knew how these new up and coming pop stars could be.&nbsp; Especially the girls.&nbsp; And this lot were gonna be a nightmare.<br><br>She glanced across at the two roadies and walked across to the one siting on the speakers.&nbsp; She saw he had an earpiece in, listening to his own music obviously.&nbsp; She had just witnessed the scene between the manager and felt glad she wasnt actually invovled in anything much.&nbsp; She stood next to the roady, taking a look at him.&nbsp; He was cute, but she had no intentions of getting into anything with anyone.&nbsp; But he was good to look at.&nbsp; She stood there, leaning against the speaker, watching the band.&nbsp; She wasnt feeling very enthusiastic about this lot.&nbsp; Spolit little girls trying to be big girls.&nbsp; She shook her head, she would see what happens.

				"You never complained before..." Kim replied to Carrie a she situated herself on the stool.&nbsp; <br><br>There wasn't much in this song for her to do vocally, but she began with the first hit, and began to set the time and rythym for the others to follow.&nbsp; She could play this in her sleep she felt, but still, this was rather nice.&nbsp; <br><br>Plus, her VIEW.&nbsp; Behind everything, watching the others as they moved.&nbsp; She's all smiles as she works her drums with a practiced ease.&nbsp; Some could even say it was easy, but no. <br><br>When Carrie came up to her, the drummer leaned towards the lead singer as if to kiss her, but winked.&nbsp; A little too distracted by the goings on to bother with Charley's talking too while they continued to play.&nbsp; <br><br>She played a little harder, a little louder through the break, just a touch more than is normal, but not missing a beat as she smiles to Carrie.

				Kane continued to listen, and to watch, just off in his own little world, one might say. Until the manager showed up. Oh god, the manager. He listened to her go on and on, and be all... adult like. Which, he figured, would just separate her from the other band members. She wasn't speaking the same language, and maybe he would toss his thoughts at her. Or maybe he would just wait, and see how the sparks fly, because that could be pretty interesting. <br><br>From the backstage vantage point, he could see just about everything. He had an uncanny knack for finding the best watching points. He noticed the costume and make up artists doing their thing.&nbsp; Man, what he'd give to be doing the costume work... <em> Oh man, that would be so cash!</em><br><br>He cast another glance towards the other stage worker. He was weird. He didn't seem to show any interest in the girls, or maybe, he was just very sly about it. Ah well, whatever floats his boat.

				The hiding spot was perfect. Tiffany had spent the whole month waiting for THE band to come to her town. It took her another two weeks to figure out how to sneak out of school to attend the rehearsals. She had already had the tickets for the concert but she really wanted was to be where she as now. Hidden right behind the stage. It was a maze back there so she thought there was little chance of anyone finding her out. From where she was, she could only see the back of the band but that didn't matter. She could spot Carry singing with her wonderful vocals, Kim flowing effortlessly through setting the tempo with her drums and Lou creating the rhythm. <br><br>Tiffany could not believe she was just a few feet away from her favorite band of all time. They were so awesome and they could do anything they wanted. Their world was so different than Tiffany's life that she could not but feel mesmerized by their energy. She found herself unconsciously singing along with Carry as she held on to her phone and started snapping some pictures.

				The manager yelling brought a giggled to Adrian's lips and she turned her head so the mike wouldn't catch the sound. Carry's singing made her smile considerably as she played, Carry always was alot of fun to listen to but her taking the blame was pretty cool seeing as everyone knew who's the pot really was.<br><br>Adrian played the instrumental break her fingers dancing over the keys having fun with it as she did watching the others move around the stage as they all played half wishing her instrument wasn't so sedentary, she didn't get to move or dance on stage, instead sitting behind her key board all anyone could ever see of her was her upper body swaying to the music when she wasn't singing back up into the mike.<br><br>The one perk of being in the back meant she got to watch everyone else. Adrian watched Carry the little bombshell, Emma who was yummy, the rough and tumble Louise and of course the tomboy Kim. Adrian smiled if nothing else just being with the girl would provide entertainment enough for the entire duration.

				Lou went on playing, when she did she typically got lost in the atmosphere. From time to time her eyes wandered to her bandmates. She imagined the kind of fun she would have with some of her bandmates and couple of joints. Carry was the princess who would be so much fun to spoil if taught the dark ways of the life. Kim was the sweet tomboy, Adrian shining in the back as usual and Em was just plain gorgeous. Maybe they should just have a giant orgy! Lou chuckled and by this time it was her turn to provide the backup, she sang her part.<br><br>By now their manager was in. Pretty funny woman that one. Lou didn't really like the way she expected them to be prim and proper all the time. It just wasn't her style. Had never been. But she knew how to manage the press and get kickass gigs. Plus she was hot. Lou found herself wondering how she would look naked. She licked her lips some before jumping back in the song. This was going great! She actually felt herself perfectly in the 'element' right now.

				Tiffany stood behind some boxes on the back of the stage. She was glad she had made it this far without being detected. The studio where the band was rehearsing belonged to her friend's father. Once Tiffany told her friend that Sound of Sinners were going to be there, it was easy to convince someone to 'forget to lock a door.' <br><br>The only thing Tiffany wished was that she had more time to then go home and change to a more appropriate outfit. But she had to rush straight from school so all she had with her was her uniform - a plain white shirt tucked in her plaid blue and black skirt and her black Mary Jane shoes. Her hair was styled simple just held back with a hair band. It was one of the few personalized fashionable items she sneaked past her school's strict dress code. The hair band was night blue in color with small silver butterflies adorning it. Tiffany snapped pictures but they looked so tiny on her camera phone. "If only I could get closer..." She thought. <br><br>As she watched the band play she spot some boxes closer to the stage practically behind Ash and Kim. Tiffany had never been the most athletic girl. As a matter of fact, she had never really played any sport but she thought the boxes were just 10 yards away and the backstage was a bit dark. Confident that she could make a run for it, she sprung into action when she thought no one was looking. Her legs moving as fast as she could, each step leading her closer to the safety of her new hiding spot. As Tiffany thought she was going to make it, her foot caught a cable pulling it as she dodged behind the boxes. A split second later, Ash's keyboard sounded muted as if the connection to the amplifiers got lose.<br><br>Tiffany crouched really small behind the boxes not daring to look up hoping that no one had seen her.<br><br><br>

				Having little luck catching the eye of Louise, Em turned from her while picking away at the simple chords. As she turned, the front of the stage to her back, two things happened at once. Something, someone appeared to be running around back stage. There was clumsy sounding thud and all of a sudden Ash's keyboards went off line. The abrupt absence of the keyboard's contribution tripped Em up, her thrumming coming to a stop.<br><br>"What the hell Ash?"<br><br>Curious, Em nosed around behind Ash where a stack of boxes sat. <br><br>"Well, what do we have here?" Em said, discovering the girl hiding behind the boxes. "What are you, some kind of groupie? Shit, I didn't know we had those, " Em said with a laugh. Em looked the girl over and decided she was cute. All sorts of dirty little thoughts started wheeling about in her head.<br><br>While Em didn't make a point of shouting any kind of alarm, she didn't make a secret of the fact she was talking to someone, and had perhaps&nbsp; discovered the reason why Ash's keyboards had gone out abruptly.<br><br>"Nah, you're more than just a little cute, " Em said, winking salaciously if in an exaggerated manner.

She watched Em look around and stood up to look when she heard her start to talk to nothing.<br><br>Standing up and coming over Ash saw the girl and smirked lightly, "I didn't know we had girl groupies." She said with a light laugh, "she is kind cute." Ash said with a slight tilt of her head agreeing with Em. "come on girl get up."

				Carry followed Kim into the side room. Fascinated by the drummer's behind as it swivelled in front of her. She was totally oblivious to what was going on behind her with the discovery of the groupie. She pushed the door to and smiled. "So, <em>sticks</em>, this is where you and Emma go at it, huh? Look, sorry about loosing it back there. I' so fucking tense I could snap!"<br><br>She flicked a lock of her long dark hair out of her face and stepped closer to Kim.

				It seemed like an eternity for Tiffany, she was crouched and closed her eyes thinking, "Oh bejesus! They are going to find me and I'm going to be in so much trouble!" She soon heard the voice of two girls talking at her. When she looked up and saw Em and Adrian looking at her. Tiffany felt like such a fool. This was definitely not the grand entrance first great impression she wanted them to have of her. She got up and tried to regain her composure. In most situations she wasn't the most outgoing girl in the world, some would say even a bit shy, but it wasn't everyday that one stood before the best band in the world. At least to Tiffany, Sounds of Sinners <em>were </em>the best band in the world. <br><br>She could only say, "oh my god... oh my god... oh my god... it's you... you... Ash... and you... Em... and... everyone else... over there... oh god..." <br><br>Tiffany could not believe how she was acting but she just couldn't help herself. Visibly shaking of emotion. "Where are my manners... mother would hate me... I'm... I'm... Tiffany, but you can just call me Tiff."<br><br>"I'm terribly sorry about messing up the sound. I just wanted to really see everyone... I was trying to get closer..." Tiffany continued to babble some more out of nervousness. <br>

				"Aw, look at her Adrian. She's all nervous and shit, " Em said with a sarcastic snicker.

				Tiffany shut up and tried to catch her breath as her chest raised and lowered. She felt like a fool hyperventilating in front of two of her idols. It all seemed like a dream to her. The two goddess before her were talking to her, about her and she wasn't sure but she thought she heard them say she was cute. Tiffany stood before them wide eyed. She felt like screaming and jumping around. It took her all her willpower to stay still. <br><br>Tiffany heard their words but her mind was too busy processing everything that was happening. Tiff was lost in her own world. Tiffany could not believe they wanted to do something with her. She imagined she would hang out with them, attend rehearsals, maybe even go out for lunch and be friends. Never had she been so obsessed with a group. She heard of groupies before but didn't really know much about them. If groupies loved their band like the way she loved Sounds of Sinners then she was a groupie and that didn't sound like a bad thing to Tiffany.

"Focus now." she said sarcastically smirking before going back to pretty much ignoring the girl while talking to Em.<br><br>She shrugged at the comment about the roadies, "hmm maybe." Adrian said vaguely not really caring if the girl went to the roadies or not as long as she was around for a bit she looked as if she could be extremely entertaining. <br><br>"Yeah I think so" Adrian said with a slight smile responding to Em's question. "Though I doubt she'd done much more." She said with a sarcastic little laugh.

				Tiff snapped back to reality to the sound of fingers snapping in front of her. She tried to say something but it seemed like Adrian and Em were having a conversation of their own. It didn't bother that they were talking as if she wasn't even there. She was just had this happy feeling inside her that made her glow and it showed on her face. She was after all with her favorite band and they were talking about her. Sure, she wasn't being included in the conversation, but she was just a regular girl anyway. She wouldn't have much to say to add to the coolness of them both. <br><br>Tiff had enough focus though to figure they were talking about sex, not only that, they were talking about sex and her. The thought of it made her blush. She never had any real sexual experiences. She never even kissed a boy before. At the catholic school she attended, the only time she had a sexual encounter was with one of the other girls. She made out with her and it perked her curiosity. <br><br>Tiff held her hands together in front of her and just smiled looking back and forth to Adrian and Em as they chatted with each other. She gave up trying to say anything and just felt happy to be around her idols. She hoped that she could meet the rest of the band as soon as they were done with their 'break.'

				Tiff did not like the way Em was talking about having to have sex with the roadies. They were attractive but Tiff really just wanted to hang out with her idols rather than have sex with some strange guys she had never met before. In a way, Tiff was a bit disappointed that Em was treating her like this. She wondered if what she read about Em on the magazines and bio was true or not. The seriousness of Em's voice and slap on Tiff's ass made her take a step forward. Then, she heard Adrian and Em talking to each other and Lou's loud laugh and voice an she quickly turned around with a big smile on her face.<br><br>She couldn't contain herself and shouted, "Lou!" Looking at the uber cool band member motioning the universal sign of smoking pot, Tiff trying to act cool said, "Oh! I've smoked marijuana before." Her voice trailed with a scent of uncertainty. Tiff had never really smoked anything in her life but she was going to try to fit in and act cool or at least divert the conversation from her having sex with the roadies, which made her very uncomfortable.

				Charley watched the drama of Carry freaking out over the sound system with a disapproving face but nothing else. She just watched it unfold and ticked it down mentally in her head as another reason to have a serious discussion with the girls. Moments and fits like these made the image she was trying to sell to others, the All American girl band to be exact, a hard sell. <br><br>And with all the pressure she was getting from the record company and critics, she didn't need the extra load. They were already questioning her management skills since her last band, the The Haunted Eyes, dissolved during tour. It certainly wasn't her fault, that's all she could say. No matter what the rumors said...<br><br>"I need to get a freaking drink after this," she fumed as she closed her eyes and rubbed her temples to calm the impending headache. The stress lately was all but killing her and the late nights she was doing, even fucking one nighters at a time, to promote, publicize and get attention for the band was insane now thanks to this tour. "Honestly, just... fuck."<br><br>Charley opened her eyes and finally, regaining some of her missing common sense, looked to where the boxes were at last and saw what Adrian, Lou and Em were looking and talking to/at: A young girl, wearing some sort of schoolgirl uniform. <em>Goddamn it.</em><br><br>"<em>What's</em> going on here girls," she asked, walking over to them with a new scowl on her face. She was going going to gain lines soon enough and a permanent scowl if she didn't relax. She looked directly at Tiffany, seeing a PR disaster in the making if the girl came out and told the press what the other girls were saying to her. The manager placed her hands on her hips and said, "I <em>hope</em> you're older than 17, miss. May I ask how you got in here?"

				Em turned away from the groupie, seeing that Charly had the situation in hand. She returned to the front of the stage, only to see that Carrie and Kim had left, to where she didn't see. It seemed the rehearsal had come to an end, for the time being at least.<br><br>"What the hell?" Em said, setting her bass guitar down and looking around the room to see who else there might be to amuse herself with. There was a beefy roadie talking to a girl with a notepad, clearly trying to get into her pants. Em hopped off the stage then and went looking for Kim or Carrie, whoever she ran into first.

				Lou grinned at Tiff. She pointed towards her and motioned to come closer. "Oh, so you have..is that it? But I bet you've never done so with <em>me</em> now have you?" She winked at her. "What's your name hon?"<br><br>As she was talking to the starry eyed girl, Charley was getting all angry. "Oh come on Charley..I mean seriously..learn to loosen up some will you? Cut the poor girl some slack. She's just here to meet her idols and hang out with them. Nothing wrong with that now is it? Relax instead of pressing the panic button at every possible oppurtunity!"

				Tiff saw the older lady walk towards her. She didn't look all that happy but at least Tiff was glad that her presence seemed to have scared Em away. It wasn't that Tiff did not like Em, it was just so that pushing her to have sex with the men came to a shock to her. Then again, it was that same attitude that first attracted Tiff to the band members. They did anything they wanted which Tiff thought it was super cool.<br><br>Turning her attention to the older lady, whom Tiff recognized as the manager. "Oh! I'm most definitely older than 17. I'm 18... and a half." Tiff smiled. "I just wanted to see the band so much and I found this open door... back there, so I just sneaked in. I didn't mean to cause any trouble Ms. Charlie." Tiff gave Charley the most innocent look she could manage and trying not to thing about how she was the one that caused Ash's keyboard sound to go dead.<br><br>Hearing what Lou said, Tiff's eyes shone like two stars. Tiff could not believe what she heard, "Was she inviting her to smoke marijuana <em>together</em>?" She thought. Never mind that Tiff had never smoked before, she wasn't against it but it never really caught her attention before. She had heard stories how relaxed it made one feel or giggly. With Lou's open apparent invitation there wasn't anything in the world she wanted more in the world. What if she had to smoke a little pot? It wasn't like cocaine or heroin. The best thing of all was that she'd be hanging out with one of her idols. To think of it, Tiff was almost jumping in excitement. <br><br>"Yes, I just want to smoke pot... I mean, I just want to hang out with the best band in the world. My name is Tiffany, but you can call me Tiff." Tiff stumbled with excitement.<br><br><br><br>

				Caroline could feel her own heart beating... and she could feel Kims, as the drummer kissed her again. Suddenly the words of that stupid ballad took on a new meaning, and she burst out laughing. "Give me your hand, do you feel my heart beating...!" She exclaimed. "God I am so thick sometimes!" An she heaved and rolled Kim off her, landing on top of the older girl, lying between her legs.<br><br>"That's better. It's my band after all...!" She smirked and then lowered herself to lie on top of Kim, arms around her and lips pressed hard against the drummer's.

				Kasia, to say the least, wasn't too fond of this change of pace. The rehearsal somehow turned into a major awkward hook-up fest. It made it hard for ideas of how to dress up the girls come into her head when they weren't really rocking it out on stage. <em>'It didn't even last one song...'</em> she thought to herself as she closed her sketchbook in a huff. The wardrobe artist only managed to draw the band's lead's general figure. If Cash thought about it too long, she may have thought about each curve and her pretty hair. <br><br>Too bad she was a little agitated for that.<br><br>Stuffing her sketchbook and pencil into her messenger bag, Kasia left her little spot in front of the stage and headed to the back where most of the crew and band had taken themselves. The whole development of the over zealous groupie didn't bother her at all; it wasn't as if the girl was here because of the way the girls dressed. Passing a few of the rooms before settling at the small snack table, it was painfully clear what some of the members of the Sinners were up to. This only brought Kasia to sigh as she poked at a rather unappetizing cucumber sandwich.

				"I would love to loosen up Lou," the manager replied, rubbing the back of her neck and tapping her foot even faster. At this rate, her foot would either fly off or ground to dust. "But right now, while we're working on this concert, I can't afford that <em>luxury</em>. This is basically make it or break it girls, whether or not the crowds will adore you or think you're sellouts."<br><br>Looking at the girl now as she listened patiently to Tiffany's explanation, the woman crossed her arms and pursed her lips as she thought. At the moment, Charley was wondering if she should just kick her out of here now or later to avoid any possible drama. She had enough on her drama plate without adding another full helping to it. She had lost five pounds as it is.<br><br>"It's Charley," the woman replied to Tiffany as she rubbed her temples. She shot a look at Ash, the patent 'Not-Now-Damn-It-And-Don't-Give-Me-The-Urge-To-Slap-You-Senseless'. While Ash was one of the few people she didn't mind making wisecracks, her nerves were fried and she didn't need the ribbing at the moment. Just for now. When she's had a decent sleep and rest, she'll let them have their giggles behind her back all they want.<br><br>She sighed sorrowfully as she reached her choice now, knowing she'll regret it later on and finally said, "Well... it seems like you're a nice enough young lady. Maybe we can... umm... let you stay for a little while. To see the band and all that."<br><br>She raised her hands quickly, wanting to stop any squeals or the sounds groupies make when they actually hear words like she had said. "<em>However</em>," she said, "I need to know that you won't be causing any trouble. I don't want you telling your friends the band is here or take any pictures or anything like that. I also want you to avoid doing anything illegal as well." She looked at the band again, knowing that they knew what she was talking about. "Can I trust you on that?"<br><br>"Now," she said and at that moment her cellphone, the second one in her pocket, rang to life. "Now, I'm going to take this call and I hope you girls will behave, please."<br><br>She quickly left the girls, giving them one more warning glare, and tired to answer the phone as she pulled out another one, attempting to text a message to a person of a music magazine to secure an interview. One, she was hoping, that the girls could have before the concert. Promotion, promotion, promotion.<br><br>While doing so, she noticed out of the corner of her eye one of the staff members looking somewhat tired and depressed. She was eating a sandwich of some sort at the snack table. She stopped in her tracks, knowing she'll regret this because of the ringing cellphone in her hand, and walked over to her. She canceled the call and decided it could wait.<br><br>"Hey," she said to Kasia - it was 'Cash', right? - with a worried look on her face. "Are you alright?"

				When Tiff saw the older woman walk towards her she thought for sure she was going to kick her out but instead after what it looked like an internal struggle, Charley told Tiff that she could stay. Tiff felt this surge of happiness boil over inside her and she was about to squeak and scream, her mouth open, but no sound came out. Instead Tiff saw Charley's hand up and Tiff quickly covered her mouth with her hands muffling her scream to a little mouse squeak. She could not believe they were letting her hang out with her idols. All she could manage to do as Charley continued speaking was to nod her head in agreement. <br><br>As soon as Charley turned around and walked away, Tiff squeaked a little louder in excitement and jumped a little bit. She wanted to hug Lou and Adrian who were still standing right in front of her but she managed to control herself. Tiff had so many questions about the girls' bios but at this time she could not think of any. All the could really think of was that she 'with the band.' Like a&nbsp; puppy, Tiff smiled big with her wide open eyes to both Lou and Adrian. Tiff thought about Lou's offer but she didn't really have big hopes that she would actually smoke marijuana with her. Tiff suspected that Lou was just playing with her but even that was fun. She smiled as she thought how everyone at school would be jealous of her.

				Lou watched Charley go away after allowing Tiff to stay there. She made a mocking face and snarled out. "Thanks Mommy, now kindly fuck off and maybe blow that roadie over there or just finger yourself cos you can't get some around here due you being a damn fossil of bygone eras!"<br><br>She looked back at Tiff and grinned. "Nice to meet ya Tiff. And nope..the offer's not a trick at pulling your leg or anything. It's been a long day and I think I would really like to relax, don't you agree?" She gave a smile as she put an arm around her waist. "You seem to be a super-fan of ours and I can see you've got a lot to talk with me..so how about we go someplace quiet and relax a bit?"

				Teenagers wait their whole teenage lives to hear the words that came out of Lou's mouth spoken to them. For Tiff, she had only waited 269 days, 34 hours... and a few minutes. She was ecstatic to hear that Lou wanted to really spend some time with her. She felt her arm around her waist and immediately put her own arm around Lou's waist. Tiff could feel Lou's toned body underneath her clothes. Lou was much stronger than Tiff, that's for sure. <br><br>"Really?" Tiff asked her voice rising to a high pitch of excitement as her head nod up and down non-stop. Tiff really did not know where Lou would take her since she didn't know the facilities that well but it didn't really matter. Tiff was about to have a one on one with Lou and that was all that was in her twirling thoughts.

				Lou smiled. "Yeah really!" Her hand slightly rubbing over Tiff's beautiful waist. "I've got a room there in the back. We can have all the talks and much more in there." Lou led the way as she talked to Tiff. "So, how did you end up here today anyways?" She asked with a chuckle, as she led them in the small room which had already been turned into a mess by Lou. Equipment was lying around the place, along with some clothes scattered around the floor, most probably from the girl who was there yesterday with Lou. "Come, have a seat." Lou said motioning around the room as she quickly pulled out the two methodically rolled up joints. "One for you, one for me!" She smiled.

				Tiff was happily lead to the room by Lou. She felt Lou's hands rubbing her waist which felt a little weird at first. Had it been any other time or with any other girl, perhaps Tiff would have thought the touch inappropriate but this time Tiff just rationalized that Lou really liked her. Besides, Tiff did not want to throw Lou off and miss her chance to hang out with her. "I found a door open and just slipped in... ummm... ok, my friend's dad owns the place and someone let me in." Tiff spilled the beans confessing the truth and slightly looking down at the floor. She had always been an awful liar. <br><br>Walking in the room, Tiff looked at all the risqué undergarments on the floor. They were of all shapes and sizes. Some of them she even had a hard time figuring out what they were or how to put them on. She followed Lou trying not to step on any of the clothes and sat down, crossing her legs and making sure she smoothed the back of her skirt.&nbsp; Eying the joint Lou handed to her, not really knowing what to do with it, she held it between her pointy and thumb like she had seen it on the movies. "This is going to be so much fun!" Tiff said trying to cover her nervousness. Tiff had never smoked marijuana before as she was taught that drugs were the devil's doing. She hesitated for a second. "Do you have a light?" Tiff asked holding the join between her lips.

				Carry grinned down at her friend. "You know, that sounds like fun... " She looked at the bra Kim offered her, looked down at the girls wonderful breasts, then at her own miserable pimples, and said with a half smile, "Thanks but I don't think it'll fit..." She slid down Kim's body, and, purely on instinct and because she'd seen enough porn to know it was the sort of thing you did, she took one of Kim's nipples into her mouth. She wasn't really sure what to do with it, thought. She sucked, softly, not sure what effect that would have.<br><br>But it was definitely having an effect on her... Her own nipples were hard as pebbles, and her crotch was feeling really warm and wet. Releasing Kim's nipple briefly, she asked, "You want to go further? I... I'd like to but it's up to you!" The confident, arogant band leader was still there somewhere, and would no doubt be back, but right now, she wasn't even sure what she was doing, let alone what to do next... She lowered her mouth to Kim's other nipple and sucked on it the same.

				Ash had been tinkering on the key board, actually practicing was more like it. She freely admitted that she'd been late but she was rather annoyed that one little hiccup and rehearsal falls apart. How would the group do anything if they never practiced anything? But that was just Ash all or nothing if she was doing it, she did it all the way nothing held back and nothing else mattered, that the other girls didn't think as she did was cause for irritation. <br><br>Slipping the head phones off when Marie the wordrobe woman, came in but still playing the piece Ash smiled lightly as she noticed the bit of confusion on her face as she looked around the room. "They were distracted." She said easily a hint of amusement in her tone as finishing the piece at double speed before slipping of the head phones and stepping out from behind the keyboard. "Mind if I tag along?" She asked with a half smile "Some how I doubt rehearsal will be resuming." She said with a mild laugh.

				"I know who you are." Ash said in reponce to the woman's introduction, "it's your job to try to make it look like we fit together in some form and instead of being from several diffrent sub groups." Ash said running her finger tips threw her hair before jumping off the stage, "good luck with that." she said with good natured sarcasm.<br><br>"it's a sound sage I doubt they have a kitchen but even if they did I wouldn't go around poking into darkened rooms right now if you know what I mean." Ash said with a wink and a sort of naughty smile, making it plainly obvious what the rest of the band was up to at the moment.

				"Make you lot fit, I have nightmares about that" she said with a chuckle, "I was thinking lots of little Barbies" she said, grinning at Ash, "But I have some ideas, dont worry it wont involved pink frocks and flowers in your hair" she told her with a chuckle.&nbsp; "I can be a very tough bitch when needed, I'll get you lot into line" she told her, knowing she wouldnt.&nbsp; Marie was a softee, always had been.<br><br>"OH well, round the corner it is.&nbsp; And I have no intentions of going into any darkened rooms" she said with a slight edge to her voice.&nbsp; She was hetero, she had no desire to get it off with a girl.&nbsp; At least, she didnt think she did...

				"You bet it's gonna be...that's some quality stuff love." Lou grinned, as she quickly produced a lighter from her pocket and lit her joint up. She motioned Tiff to come closer as she held the lighter up. "So, your friend's dad owns this place? Not quite the adventure of sneaking in the place or anything..but I like that you spilled the beans and admitted things the way they are." She smiled, taking a long drag in. "It's always nice to go one-on-one with fans." Lou remarked casually, and she meant both sexually and non-sexually..although Tiff probably wouldn't have understood it though. But this girl was better than most of the teenage trash they met, who thought that just having different hair color and swearing some was rebellious.

				Tiff took inhaled a little bit as Lou lighted her joint. She tried to look as casual as possible as she watched Lou take a drag. Imitating Lou, Tiff took one long drag of her join too inhaling deeply. She felt her throat constrict and as much as she tried the little puffs of smoke escaped her mouth and soon she covered her mouth with one hand as she coughed. Tried to disguise her ineptitude and inexperience she quickly said between coughs, "This is the good stuff." Of course Tiff had no idea what was good or not but she hoped if she kept talking it would divert Lou's attention.<br><br>"I can't believe I'm here with you! I watched all the bands youtube videos and I follow your tweets and your facebook pages. I know you guys are new but you have the most incredible sound. I love the way your guitar sounds." Tiff rambled on. "Mind if I ask you something?" Without waiting for an answer Tiff asked, "Your tattoos are so cool, your mom must be really cool to let you have them. Which one is your favorite? Do you have a secret one?" out of nervousness more than anything, Tiff kept on asking questions and taking long drags of her joint and soon a cloud of smoke lingered all over the room over the two girls. The tip of the joint burned blight as&nbsp; Tiff was almost done with it. Feeling a bit silly and relaxed, Tiff looked around the room. "Your room is a mess. Mother makes me clean my room every time. I'd never get away with something like this. And... those..." Tiff pointed at the risque lingerie on the floor. "They look so pretty but I could never wear anything like that... mother..." Tiff got up and grabbed a lacy black bra on the floor and put it over her chest and laughed. "I'd look silly." Sitting back down, Tiff continued on blabbing over how her mother raised her to be a good society girl and that she hated it. "Am I boring you? Here I go talking about myself over and over again. I just feel so chatty! Umm... do you have anything to eat?"

				Caroline's heart jumped. Kim was actually inviting her home? "Uh, yeah, sure. I think that's a great idea." She paused, and then had a sudden reality check. "Um, hang on... you did mean for me to come home with you, didn't you?<br><br>Carry blushed hotly. Whichever, it was probably not a good idea for them to go too much further in this room, with it's glass panel in the door and no lock... She sat up, face flushed, and pulled her hoodie back on.<br><br>She let the way back to the sound stage, and collected her guitar. She was just about to put it in the case, when she noticed a folded piece of paper. <em>Hmm, what's this?</em> She picked it up and read it, then quickly glanced around to make sure no one else had seen it. Other than Kim, who was putting the covers on her drum kit, there didn't seems to be anyone else in the room.<br><br>Carry stuffed the paper with Marie's lyrics on it in her guitar case and put the Fender on top of it. "You ready, Kim?"<br><br>She looked around. "Jeese, I wonder where everyone else went?"

				It was apparent to Lou that this girl was a first timer. She was coughing like anything at the first hit itself! Lou chuckled. "Yeah it sure is..just don't overdo it on your first time itself." Lou herself was feeling rather...relaxed by now. Tiff suddenly exploded with words..the joint was doing it's wonders as she talked at speed which was probably like a hundread words per second. "My mom..was never really around to really realise what I was upto..or at least was never sober enough to notice that, so fuck her. But yeah..I love my tattoos for sure..my fav you ask? Hm, I guess the one i've got on my lower back of a bleeding heart is probably my favorite." Lou turned a bit to show it to her. "It's okay..you can touch it if you wanna...I do have some secret tattoos..maybe i'll show them to you later." She grinned. "Parents..always try to tell you not to do the things which are actually the real stuff. They'll want you to keep in some damn dollhouse and protected..I say fuck that..world's not like that honey, and it never is. The sooner one realises that, the better."<br><br>When Tiff grabbed the black bra and held it over her chest..Lou smiled. "Wait..who the fuck said you're looking silly with these? In fact..you're looking hot there Tiff, so hot..that even Lou Gordon would want to fuck your brains out if you're in that!" She grinned. "You wanna go away from this shitty life you've been living? Those boring parents and that cesspool of a school..how about you join us on tour? Yeah, with me..and no i'm not kidding." Lou said through closed eyes as she felt herself get relaxed even more.

				Ash listened with mild interest she could appreciate that make up and hair was a hard thing to learn and an art form in it's own right, hell it took her almost a hour to do her make up, but at the same time she didn't see the real appeal to dealing with a bunch of vain opinionated people trying to cover up zits, uneven skin tone and beauty marks. IT seemed like alot to deal with on a daily basis.<br><br>"Coffee sounds great, I'm really not hungry" Ash said as they walked into the bistro the delicious smell overwhelming them both, "I think all of the girls have places around here. I'm living in an apartment a few blocks up. I know Carrie still with her mom, the rest..." She shrugged lightly "I have no idea." she said with a light laugh "Do you live around here?" Ash asked somewhat curious about the make up girl she knew nothing about.

				"I've got a loft over on West" she said, gesturing over her shoulder with her thumb.&nbsp; West was quite an up market part of the town, and Marie was lucky, she had a lovely place over there.&nbsp; She wasnt very open really, and rarely got to know the acts she was assigned too.<br><br>"What about you?&nbsp; Did you grow up with the rest of the girls in the band?" she asked curiously, sitting at a table by the window.&nbsp; She was older than the girls in the band by a few years, but she didnt mind, it was part of the job.&nbsp; She enjoyed it and she wondered what this lot would make of the things ahead of them.&nbsp; It was an exciting time for sure.

				"No, I don't really know any of them very well. We all kind of know Carrie but that's about it." Ash said with a slight shrug, "Honestly I think I'm just in the band because they needed someone good on keyboard and Carrie knew me well enough to ask if I wanted in and hell it sounded fun at the time." She said with a slight laugh.<br><br>Someone came over to take their orders and Ash just ordered a black coffee, a bit plain in comparison to everything on the menu but Ash liked the complexity of coffee flavor without all the milk and syrups added to it. "So how did you get hook up with us?" Ask asked a little curious how a girl who lived on West ended up working with a band that was barley out of the starting gate.

				Before the girl could answer the manager's inquiries, her (as in Charley) cellphone rang once more. The irritating cellphone tone was higher than ever and she knew she couldn't ignore this one. If she did, it was possible that the Sound of Sinners will be losing their once chance in rock star fame. Charley could not afford that now, especially since this was her final chance to show the label that she was a competent manager. She may threaten to quit the band many times, she knew she could never do that without risking the loss of her job.<br><br>All the bands she had managed had dissolved or she left them before they get serious attention, so this was her last chance to impress the bloody label. To show she had a Midas Touch like before. Which meant she had to answer the damn phone, in short. She sighed and looked at the girl, feeling bad that she couldn't help the girl out but duty calls. Her job calls. Her livelihood calls.<br><br>"I'll try to talk to you later," Charley said as she quickly went to a quiet spot somewhere to answer the phone.<br><br><hr><br>The manager left the quiet spot in an effort to not commit suicide right there and then. Her face was flushed, her breathing was hard and drawn out and she was seeing bloody red at the moment. If someone came to her with bad news right now, she'll gut them out and strangle them with their own intestines. She promised that!<br><br>The reason why she was so tense and bitchy (more than usual) was that she had gotten off a heated discussion with the promoter over Lou's outrageous demands. She argued and fought over the things the rhythm guitarist had picked, saying that they were vital for the woman in order to get through the day. And if that meant offensive language slapped on tops, enough booze to kill a bloody elephant and its' ancestors and spare rhythm guitars, a total of seven, so be it. <br><br>"There's a reason she wants a shirt specifically saying 'Pope is a Paedo', but we just don't understand," she told the flabbergasted person. "She's an <em>artist</em>. What do you expect?"<br><br>It took her nearly thirty minutes to convince the person, but she did but it left her standing on her last nerves.<br><br>"Girls," she said, going back on stage, "we really need to get practic - "<br><br>... they were all gone.<br><br>"Just what I need," she fumed, running both hands in her hair and trying not to scream out her frustration. She paced back and forth, knowing they were doing something they shouldn't be doing and there was jackshit she could do. Until she found them, which required time and that was something she didn't have, they were doing as they pleased. "All of them gone, the promoters breathing down my fucking neck, my inability to get laid."<br><br>She stopped herself, wondering where the hell did that come from. Her thoughts went back to what Lou said to her when she was leaving.<br><br><em>Thanks Mommy, now kindly fuck off and maybe blow that roadie over there or just finger yourself cos you can't get some around here due you being a damn fossil of bygone eras!</em><br><br>"I can get anyone I damn please," Charley said, crossing her arms like a petulant child, fuming more than ever. "I'm the fucking manager, for the love of God. If anyone here can catch tail, it'll be me damn it. Wait... why the hell did I say that outloud? Jesus, I need to drink..."<br><br>Charley turned around and went to her small office room that she was using at the moment, hoping to have a stiffie to dull the pain.

"It's okay..you can touch it if you wanna...I do have some secret tattoos..maybe I'll show them to you later." She grinned. "Parents..always try to tell you not to do the things which are actually the real stuff. They'll want you to keep in some damn dollhouse and protected..I say fuck that..world's not like that honey, and it never is. The sooner one realises that, the better."<br><br>When Tiff grabbed the black bra and held it over her chest..Lou smiled. "Wait..who the fuck said you're looking silly with these? In fact..you're looking hot there Tiff, so hot..that even Lou Gordon would want to fuck your brains out if you're in that!" She grinned. "You wanna go away from this shitty life you've been living? Those boring parents and that cesspool of a school..how about you join us on tour? Yeah, with me..and no I'm not kidding." Lou said through closed eyes as she felt herself get relaxed even more.<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>When Lou turned around and said she was going to show Tiffany Lou's favorite tattoo, the world came to a stand still. It all happened in slow motion for Tiffany as she watched Lou turn around and slowly lift the back of her shirt. Tiffany held her right hand forward and slowly traced the outline of the bleeding heart stamped on Lou's lower back. Tiffany fell silent as she touched Lou's soft skin. She felt excitement but not just of being with one of her idols but the kind of excitement that burned a little deeper inside her sparking a flame of curiosity. <br><br>Hearing Lou's words, she could only nod as she knew exactly what Lou was referring to. Tiffany's parents were so protective and she felt like she was in a prison. Tiff had everything she ever desired or at least what her mom desired her to have. For Tiff, thought she wanted more, she wanted to experience the bad and the good. She wanted to be carefree like the band she so much adored. Lou was giving her the change to do it all. The only problem was that Tiffany's parents would never let her go on tour. As Lou sat down again, Tiffany stood right in front of her standing up and looking as defiant as her innocence allowed her to. Her parents would never let her tour so she would have to do it without their permission. Tiffany looked straight into Lou's eyes and said, "Yes, I'll tour with you and the band!"<br><br>Turning around to pick up the black bra Tiffany jokingly said, "And I'll wear whatever I want to!" throwing the bra at Lou. Tiffany had been with one girl before at the catholic school. Tiffany and her friend Shelly kissed and touched each others breast in the cover of darkness in their form one night. It had been more out of curiosity more than anything and&nbsp; there had been no flirtatious remarks. Tiffany did not know if Lou was serious or not about <em>fucking </em>her but inhibited by the pot, Tiffany's thoughts entertained the idea of exploring Lou's secret tattoos. Tiffany practically jumped around and fell sitting down next to Lou, "Oh this is going to be so much fun!"

				Carry shrugged. She was actually rather glad she hadn't written it, suddenly, but to admit that now would make her seem really awful. So she took it with good grace. "Well, if you say so, but I thoght, with the right kind of tweaking, and a decent melody, a good strong bass... Ah crap... Well, we'll see what Charley can do about that. I never really liked Em much anyway."<br><br>She picked up her fender and plunked out the melody that was in her head. It didn't sound like much without amplification. Caroline was determined, now. She actually liked the song that was in her head, it was original and she was claiming it as hers. She'd tried writing songs before and they were terrible. "You have an amp anywhere?" She asked, peering through doors... "Ah!" She spotted the Gibson and asked quickly, "You mind?" before plugging her fender into the Gibson's amp. She knew better than to use another musicians guitar.<br><br>She strummed a chord, then tapped out a rock rhythm to count herself in. The intro she played wasn't as long as the one she imagined for the song. It sounded empty without the rest of the group.<br><br>♪♫I see you standin' over there on the corner♪♫<br>♪♫Watch' me as the sun goes down♪♫<br>♪♫I know you can't tear your eyes away from me♪♫<br>♪♫But baby You know that you'll never get me♪♫<br>♪♫We're two different people,♪♫<br>♪♫On two different sides of the same street♪♫<br><br>She let the last notes fade away, and reached for her vodka. "What d'you think now?"

				Entering the small office, hoping to be with her friend Jack Daniels soon. Charley turned to lock the door to make sure no one bothered her and heard something go 'thump' on the ground just underneath her. She looked down and saw it was her cellphone - the other one - that was the cause of the noise. It must have slipped from her jacket pocket. She leaned forward, grabbing it and scooping it in her hands.<br><br>On the screen, it said: <strong><em>1 New Message</em></strong><br><br>"This is what I get for putting it on silent," she said, running a hand through her hair, her lips pursed at both missing the message and the fact her hair was in a bit of a mess. The bun had come undone to some degree, letting the strands fall all over her face. She'll fix is later, when she has more time and could trust herself near something elastic or sharp. "Well, it can't be worse than what I had to put through. Let's see who it is..."<br><br>It was from Carry, and it had only five words:<br><br><span style="font-family: courier;" class="bbc_font">Em quit. No bass. Help?</span><br><br>Oh no. It <em>can</em> be worse. Who knew?<br><br>"Jesus," she fumed, in irritation. When she had picked out Em for the band, she had hoped that the dynamic will not be a problem. Apparently, it wasn't the case here. "Just what I need. We're going on tour and our bloody bass quits on us just before we hit the road. God is a pisser of good fortune, I swear."<br><br>She took deeper and deeper breathes, in an attempt to not go insane there and smash her phone in little, teeny-tiny bits. It wasn't the phone's fault and she needed to make calls to find a bass player so late now.<br><br><em>It won't be a matter</em>, she told herself as she hurried to her desk, <em>finding a bass shouldn't be too hard. </em><br><br>In her personal opinion, one that she'll never tell the girls in order to not insult them, they were usually a dime a dozen from her experience in both the music industry and from all those basement concerts she used to go to when she was younger. Not that she'll ever tell them about her old life. She pulled out papers and her leather notebook - the one that she kept all important information for - and started leafing through them. Another thing she would never tell the girls was that she had a list of backup players for the band, just in case one of them quit or left. Opening the notebook to a page, she finally found the list for the replacements and looked for the ones... here it is.<br><br><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><strong><em>Kelly Marie Baker AKA Kelly B</em></strong></span> - <span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font"><em>Bassist but also knows vocals, classic acoustic bass, cello, piano, clarinets, guitars and keyboards. Part of a band but it fell apart before. Has been known to fill up vacancies of other bands and has expressed interest in S.O.S when she heard of them.</em></span><br><br>That was what she needed right now. She could fill the spot for now, while Charley could watch her and see how she preform and interacted with the others and judge whether or not she could be a permanent member. Under the description of Kelly Baker was her phone number, which Charley dialed with lightening speed. The girl wasn't there, so she left a quick message in the voice mail.<br><br>"Hello, Kelly B? This is Charley Tabitha, the manager of Sounds of Sinners. We're currently on bassist guitar player short, and I was wondering if you would be interested in joining the band as the new replacement? Please call me back and let me know." She hung up and sat on the chair, rubbing her temples in an effort to stop the headache. Hopefully, the girl will reply soon. Not to mention the control damage she had to do with the old bassist leaving to be replaced with a new one. The fans will not be pleased, that's all she knew. "All work and no play makes Charley a pissed off girl."

				Lou smiled when she felt Tiff's fingers trace over the heart. It was almost as if the girl was touching an actual fire judging from her reactions. When Lou turned around and sat back she could watch Tiff ponder over the offer which was just given. Most likely the girl's parents won't say yes..but the way she seemed to idolize her..she would probably even run away from home. The defiance in her voice gave hints of them. Lou gave her a high five when she spoke about going on tour with them. "That's what i'm talking about!" Couple of months of doing nothing but travelling all over the country and just plain kicking ass! Getting to see places you've never been to before, meeting all kinds of people and getting wasted at every oppurtunity, what more would one want?" Lou grinned.<br><br>Lou grabbed the bra which Tiff playfully threw at her and took a sniff. It definitely wasn't hers..and there was no way for her to recall which girl had left it there. "You bet, we'll just get you a new kinky wardrobe..so that you can actually look like someone who would be around us." She giggled. When she jumped and sat down next to her, Lou put a hand around the girl. "You bet, more fun anything you've ever done. You know what else could be more fun?" She asked her mischeviously and leaned forward, giving her a kiss and releasing some smoke in her mouth at the same time. She broke the kiss after few moments, but still maintained her grip on Tiff. "This."

Then she heads back into the studio, and throws herself into the music. She just has to remember anything can happen. Right now, it's important she plays her heart out for Billie. This thing with the Sinners could go South. Better to keep making all the good impressions she can, so maybe she can get another opportunity. Keep plugging away.<br>

				Carry giggled. "Oh, sorry, Kim. Didn't mean to hurt you or anything..." She wondered briefly what Kim meant by <em>unless you care for her</em>, but dismissed it. She eased her back up off the bed to allow her tee shirt to be pulled up, and then reached for Kim's jeans too, opening her fly the same. "Like that?" she asked, smiling. "Honey, I may be a virgin but I'm not <em>totally</em> naive... I do masturbate you know!" She blushed as she made that admission, but she had long ago worked out that the only people who didn't were totally frigid squares.<br><br>She lifted her bottom off the bed, pushing her jeans and panties down over her hips, revealing her neat, dark triangle of fuzz.

It was almost as if the girl was touching an actual fire judging from her reactions. When Lou turned around and sat back she could watch Tiff ponder over the offer which was just given. Most likely the girl's parents won't say yes..but the way she seemed to idolize her..she would probably even run away from home. The defiance in her voice gave hints of them. Lou gave her a high five when she spoke about going on tour with them. "That's what i'm talking about!" Couple of months of doing nothing but travelling all over the country and just plain kicking ass! Getting to see places you've never been to before, meeting all kinds of people and getting wasted at every oppurtunity, what more would one want?" Lou grinned.<br><br>Lou grabbed the bra which Tiff playfully threw at her and took a sniff. It definitely wasn't hers..and there was no way for her to recall which girl had left it there. "You bet, we'll just get you a new kinky wardrobe..so that you can actually look like someone who would be around us." She giggled. When she jumped and sat down next to her, Lou put a hand around the girl. "You bet, more fun anything you've ever done. You know what else could be more fun?" She asked her mischeviously and leaned forward, giving her a kiss and releasing some smoke in her mouth at the same time. She broke the kiss after few moments, but still maintained her grip on Tiff. "This."<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>When Tiffany thought of "fun" she didn't really have this in mind. The kiss caught her by surprise like a ton of bricks. The internet blogs and gossip had all sorts of articles on the rampant sexual behaviors of the band members. Some said they were lesbians that had orgies every night, other internet chatter described them as devil worshipers that chanted to a giant penis before and after each concert and there were even stories that it was all an act, a front for publicity. That the real Sound of Sinners was a bunch of choir church girls that needed a bad girl image to make it in the cut throat music business. To Tiffany all her endless hours discussing what the band was or wasn't came to a screeching halt. Lou's lips pressed hardly against hers and she felt her world spin.<br><br>Tiffany felt dizzy as she inhaled the smoke blown in her mouth and felt Lou's soft lips. She felt her skin tingle. Part of Tiffany wanted to push Lou away. "I shouldn't be enjoying this." She thought, but that only meant <em>she was enjoying it</em>. Squirming her legs together, Tiffany didn't want to admit to herself she was a bit disappointed when she felt Lou's lips separate from hers. Tiffany's eyes were still closed and her lips slightly pared whens she heard Lou say, "<em>This.</em>" Tiffany felt Lou's strong grip on her but she didn't try to move away. "Mmmhh... that <em>was </em>fun." Tiffany said it so softly, her lips hardly moving as if she was still tasting Lou's lips on her. "Can you... kiss me again?" Tiffany asked afraid of sounding too forward but also wanting to give in to her curiosity.

				Lou watched the favourable reaction given by the other woman and smiled. Initially she could sense reluctance of the girl when she kissed her..but soon that reluctance had been replaced by an extremely eager willingness. "If you thought that was fun..then you ain't seen nothing yet!" She winked and licked her lips..savouring the taste of Tiff's mouth. When Tiff asked for another kiss Lou giggled. "You want some more?" She chuckled and pressed her lips again on Tiff's mouth..but this time with much more aggression..her tongue entering inside her mouth and almost choking Tiff with it's raw attack.

				After sending the text message and downing a few shots, Charley got to work again. Because who said being the manager of a unruly band of teenage girls was going to be fucking easy? First things first: Preparing the meeting itself. The last thing she needed was to not be ready for the bassist. She left her office while fixing her bun, now only wearing her buttoned up, long sleeved shirt, pants and heels. The jacket was wrinkled and looked too messy in her eyes, certainly not something she should wear in a power meeting. First impressions made everything, everything damn it.<br><br>She gathered all the security guards to somewhere quiet, just in case there was a mole in the building, and let them know that a young woman by the alias Kelly B was coming by and gave them the information they needed to know. Her real name was Kelly Baker and was here for a meeting. She was expecting the woman to come by today for a talk, so they should let the woman in with no questions asked and only a quick frisk. She was to be escorted to the meeting room after that, and must not be seen by anyone - even the other girls. She showed them a head shot she acquired of Kelly. <br><br>To cement her bitchy status among everyone, she made them repeat what she said to them several times, in order to see that they were paying attention to her. They did so, quite grudgingly, and promised that they'll keep an eye out for her.<br><br>With that down, she quickly went to the meeting room they had there and had someone go to her office to get some things. She chose to seat in the front chair and pulled the chair next to her back. Letting Kelly know that she can - should - sit here. Minutes later, the person returned to her and had her folders, a briefcase, a recorder and some tapes. The person then was shooed off to get her two cold water bottles that haven't been opened yet and a tin of cookies. Charley quickly organized the things that she had in a half circle, making sure they caught anyone's eye the momeny they entered the room and saw her.<br><br>"Done," she sighed as she plopped down, fixing her shirt and leaning into the chair. All she had to do was wait...

				Kelly glances around the building, and then looks back to the window of the cab, leaning in and handing over a few crumbled bills to cover her fare and a little tip. "Thanks, Man. Seeya." she offers, and backs off as he drives away. Then she turns back to the building, judging the few entrances she sees around before picking one and walking towards it, case in hand.<br><br>The young woman who approaches the entrance and pulls open the door is short, if not tiny, a cute and curvy, slim blonde. While she's cute, and sexy enough, she's not something or someone who would stand out on her own. But her sense of style seems to surpass that. At the moment she's showcasing that style with an extreme, daringly short pink flouncy skirt with a band of black lace around the hem and a band of black around the waist. Emerging from beneath that are a pair of black fishnets, the upper band clearly visible an inch or so beneath the hem of the skirt. Her top is a back-trimmed pink halter that leaves most of her back, shoulders and tummy bare, the plunging neckline that doesn't just hint at but showcases her cleavage. Her shoes of choice are a pair of black Doc Marten boots bedecked with pink, sparkly laces and little bangles. Her mid-back length blonde hair is teased out a bit and fanned into an asymmetrical do that covers most of the left side of her face. Though she is made up, it's relatively subtle, clearly contrasting the daring attire with an innocent sort of look to heighten the impact.<br><br>Kelly opens the door, and nods to the security guard as he approaches. "Hey. Sorry to bug you. Lady called Charlie called me, said to come on down. Any chance you can point me in the right direction, Big Pappa?" She flirts a bit with the big guy, though she doesn't take it to extremes. Not just yet. When he agrees to lead her to Charlie, she sidles up and hooks a hand in his belt loops, going along for the ride.<br><br>It will be about half an hour after Charley finally got settled in when the knock comes to her door. The guard peeks in. "Ma'am? Miss Kelly is here."<br><br>Before the guard can really open the door further to let her past, Kelly slides past him, intentionally rubbing her hips and rump against him as she does so, and drags her bass case behind her as she does so. "Hey there, Charley. I'm Kelly B. You rang?" The girl walks up with a smile and offers her right hand, while her left holds onto her bass case.<br>

				She does let up,, pulling her fingers from 'tween Carry's thighs, "Mmm, you better see what that message is and get cleaned up before you go home to mommy and daddy." she said teasingly.&nbsp; Kim pulls away, peeling out of what little remained of her own clothing, smiling as she left a trail of clothes to the bedroom door, looking back to her friend, "You can use my bathroom, i'll be in the other...with the door locked." she says playfully, moving through her apartment nude to the other bathroom, the doors to the other room and bathroom left open as she showered.

				Carry bristles slightly at the jibe, the implication that she has to run home to her parents. "Hey, I thought I was spending the night, but I guess now you've had your fun you've got a whole load of other girls lined up..."<br><br>She grabs her phone and her annoyance is forgotten. "Holy crap that was quick. Kim, Charlie texted me, she's got us another bass player already and wants us back at the studio...." She checked the time on the phone... "Oh shit, half an hour ago!"<br><br>She doesn't bother getting washed. Who cares if she smells of sex. The other band members show up for rehearsals smelling of sex all the time, and she's sick of being the goodie-two-shoes, squeaky clean virgin the press want her to be. Well, she isn't the latter any more. Kim's bloodied sheets are a testament to that.<br><br>She grabs her clothes, and pulls them on rapidly. "Come on, I want to meet this new girl - uh, I assume it's a girl..." she checked. "Yeah, someone called Kelly B." And then, aware that her friendship with Kim was still fairly fragile, says, "And if you still want me to sleep over tonight, I'm more than happy to tell my parents to go fuck each other!"

				While waiting for Kelly B’s arrival, Charley began to become bored. Typing and surfing on her Blackberry could only do so much, and she didn’t really like the tin of cookies that were brought for the meeting. She was going to fire that idiot for brining in white chocolate chip and macadamia nut cookies. Seriously, who the hell thought getting that would be a good thing for her to eat in a power meeting?<br><br>So, with nothing else to do, she decided to write her weekly report to the productions then and there. She had time and it shouldn’t take too long. They simply asked for a quick report every week and a more detailed report every month. <br><br>Pulling out her stationary and her business fountain pen, she began to write down these words:<br><br><em><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font">To the productions,<br><br>Everything has been going in concerns of the progress of the band’s practice. They are dutiful when it comes to it and are more than happy to start playing. But it is hard to keep them interested in playing but there will be progress to be made in this. More of on this development will be detailed more in my next report.<br><br>Unfortunately, I must report that our original bassist, Emma, decided to leave the band out of the blue today. I found out when I was in my office when Caroline Worth reported this to me. I do not know the proper cause of her spontaneous department, but I hypothesize that she was having bad relations with the other band mates and could not handle the prospect of touring long periods of time. I shall talk to her in the near future in order to talk to her about this and see what will happen in regards of her profit.<br><br>There is a possibility that a new bassist I am meeting, Kelly Marie Baker, can be her replacement for both the touring we are having and the vacant spot. More of this will be further detailed in my next report.<br><br>Sincerely,<br>Charlotte Tabitha.</span></em><br><br>Flourishing her signature, she let it dry first before folding the paper up and sticking it in the envelope. Licking it to seal it shut, she slapped a stamp just as the bassist was let into the room. She gestured her to sit on the open chair that she pulled out earlier while not looking at Kelly.<br><br>She looked up now as she gathered a cassette tape in her hands, labeled <strong><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font">Emma’s Audition Tape 1</span></strong>, and a cassette player. Gesturing to the bottle of water and tin of cookies for her, she put the cassette inside, placed it down and pressed play. Within a few seconds, the sounds of Emma rocking out on the bass guitar filled the sound proof room. The girl’s energy and enthusiasm could clearly be heard as she belted out a rock ballad. She hit the high notes and low notes, playing them long as she could in order to impress Charley that day.<br><br>This went on for a minute or two before Charley reached out and stopped it all with a push of a button.<br><br>“I’m sure,” she said as she pulled it away now to take the cassette tape out, “you know who exactly you’re going to replace.” <br><br>She then took out another tape, this one <strong><span style="font-family: georgia;" class="bbc_font">Eternal Flame (Original) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geoywnZHnVs#) </span></strong>, and played it. Music once again filled the room, letting Kelly B know what song she had to perform in front of her. After letting her hear the entire song, Charley stopped the song and put the tape away when she got it Getting another tape, apparently unused since nothing was written on it, the manager scribbled down some words and inserted it in the player before the girl before her had a chance to see what it was.<br><br>“That’s the music the band was playing earlier today before we had an… incident,” she said, “I need to hear you play this song before I say anything else. Please.”

Tiffany had never been kissed this roughly before and she was finding out that her body reacted to it in a very intense way. Tiffany was feeling very excited. As excited as when a few years ago her and her friends sneaked a peak at porn on the internet. <br><br>She remembered that night as if it was yesterday. The women were pounding the girl in the locker room with all sorts of sexual toys as some initiation of sorts. She looked so helpless. As the sound of her whimpers came out of the TV that night, everyone just stared at the screen as the scene unfolded. For Tiffany, she looked at the screen not in shock but curious to what it would be like to do what she was watching on the screen. She felt the slight moistness of her pussy turn to wetness as she could not take her eyes of the screen. As Lou kissed he roughly she could not stop but start to feel the same way. Tiffany surrendered her mouth to the intruder as she squirmed next to Lou squirming her silky bare legs together.<br>

				Kelly did her best not to let her distaste show on her face as she is pretty much summarily ignored by the business woman in the room. It takes all kinds in the music business, naturally, but it's a pretty inhuman thing to be so dismissive and cold to someone else upon first meeting them, especially and hope there's any chance for a protracted positive association. Nevertheless, Kelly isn't going to be the one to finally tell off Charley, at least not before she knows the score around here. Ignored and dismissed, she sits across from Charley, watching the other woman while setting her big case beside herself, never far from her hand.<br><br>Kelly's gaze took in the cassettes curiously, wondering how the woman who can surf the web on a BlackBerry can't figure out a digital mixing software and a laptop. Cassettes are just so last century, after all.<br><br>After Emma's tap is stopped, Kelly B nods. "Sure. I know who the bassist for the Sounds of Sinners is." Was? Replacing? Holy ... OK. So this gig suddenly took a turn for the serious. Apparently they're not just looking for a stand-in for a few tour dates or something. They're looking for a whole new member of the band. That's big, big news.<br><br>When the next song is done, Kelly stares a bit at Charley, and then just shrugs. "The Bangles? Really? OK, if you insist." It could be worse. She can still remember the audition when they asked her to play something by Patsy Cline. Now /that/ was a struggle. The Bangles? Bread and butter for a girl guitarist, even of her young age.<br><br>The young, minimally-dressed blonde twists in her seat and pulls up the case to her bass, snapping it open and pulling out the instrument within. Given the small, contained venue of the conference room, she doesn't bother with a full amp, but instead, pulls out the little 'personal play' speaker she keeps in the case, setting it up and checking battery levels before she plugs in the guitar and powers up the little unit.<br><br>Kelly takes a minute to breathe in and out, humming a tone that resonates through her throat and chest, sliding it up and down the scales as she warms up her voice and centers her mind. She'd rather have the chart, but this'll do.<br><br>Then rendition of the song that comes out as Kelly takes off is a bit harder, a tad snappier than the original. The blonde plays a mean bass, and uses the guitar to play out the other vocal parts as well as the chord progressions and rythmic bits of the song, propelling things along to almost seem as if she has - as if she is - an entire band. With the small unit, the sound is not so powerful it blows anyone away, and it's not thunderous enough to hammer through the walls or something. But it is definitely loud enough to give Charley a very, very good idea of Kelly's style and musical accomplishment.

				The years and months and weeks of being a manager for one band for another had blessed Charley the ability to tell the difference from one player to another. Though she believed they were all a dime a dozen, she still had the talent of hearing their flaws and their strengths. Just from hearing a few notes or lyrics of them, she could be able to get a rough idea on what kind of player was in front of her.<br><br>This one in front of her as she rocked it out? She was good; Charley had to give her that. But she was too eager to prove herself, playing it loud and hard and showing obvious signs of being a bit more talented than Carry was for the time being. The manager didn’t need someone outshining the diva lead singer right now, especially during the tour which could literally make it or break it, but she was short on time and resources to see other bassists. And Kelly could play it, that was all that came down to it.<br><br>The manager continued to watch the bassist with a hawk’s eye and listen with an ear of a hound as the girl played it out on her instrument, and she couldn’t help but feel like she was her own zoo with that weird comparison. She listened while tilting her head, tapping her pen against the wooden table as the seconds turned into a minute and into another… when Kelly was done with the entire song, she raised her hand and let Kelly know that she had heard enough.<br><br>Her face was set in stone, a real poker face that most professional players would kill to get their hands on.<br><br>Pressing ‘stop’ on the cassette player, Charley took it out and put it away. Then took out another, seemingly empty as well, as she wrote down a few more words on it and stuck it inside. She looked up at Kelly and gave a small smile, the closest thing she’ll give to people as a compliment. <br><br>Gesturing to the chair again for the girl to sit, she took a sip of her water bottle while staring down at the younger person in front of her. She then suddenly made her chair move to the left, grabbing something that was from the ground and pulling it up – revealing that it was a briefcase. She opened it and pulled out a paper and slid it across the surface of the table and placed the pen against it.<br><br>“This is an unsigned contract for you to sign if you wish to join the band entitled the Sound of Sinners,” Charley said. Keeping this conversation on track and business like as she could at the moment. While her nerves were still shot, she kept the appearance of a uptight and efficient manager well. “Since you are replacing the original bassist and signing on for the tour quickly and on trial of sorts, your share of the profits will be significantly smaller until the productions have drafted and made a more appropriate contract for you.”<br><br>“You will gain Emma’s full percent of the profit being made from the singles, the tour and the upcoming albums when you are properly part of the band," Charley continued, "but&nbsp; you will not gain her profit from the singles she was a part of, since those are her royalties. You will be properly be part of the band when the production company sees how you react to being part of the band and how you socialize with the band." <br><br>Well, they hadn't done that before when rounding up the band, but they'll need to now in order to keep an incident like this from happening again. "At the same time, they can look over your past and see how your past history in case anything might come up and jeopardize the band. This will be an undetermined amount of time, but it is most likely just a week or two since they are very diligent in matters like this. Any questions on this, Miss Kelly B?”

She commented, standing and puling on her jacket as Ash paid, "you didnt have too do that " she said, touched by the gesture.<br><br>She watched her walk ahead of her and stopped, and Marie smiled, she was enjoying being with her, she had been ready to pack this all in when this job came up, maybe she should get to know the other girls, but then she wasnt sure, she was always a little nervous around them, especially the lead singer.&nbsp; She seemed a bit..well...temperamental. <br><br>Ash was a bit more level headed it seemed.&nbsp;

				Ash just smiled slight and shrugged when Maria comment about her paying, to be honest it didn't occur to her not to beside she liked the girl she didn't act like the queen of the world because she was part of the entertainment business.<br><br>They walked together back towards the studio. Ash pushed open the door to hear the last few strains of the song being played. She turned and smiled an eye brow raised at Marie before taking off across the room to see what was going on.<br><br>She slipped quietly in the room nodding to Carrie and Kim before turning her attention to the bassist who was being offered a contract into their band.

				Is there such a thing as too eager to prove oneself? Kelly certainly wouldn't agree. She's here to audition, she's being given the chance - unexpected and shocking - to achieve the dream she once watched washed away in the drug-fogged haze of her fellow bandmates. She's not about to do anything less than her absolute best. Given a chance to blend in, she'll do just that. But that requires someone to blend in with, rather than performing all on her own, a one woman musical experience.<br><br>The production of the contract catches Kelly off-guard, so she goes quiet at that point, watching and listening rather than trying to speak. She takes the time to turn off the tiny speaker and put it away, then holds her bass in her lap as she listens and watches Charley.<br><br>Finally put on the spot, the blonde shrugs her shoulders a bit and shakes her head slightly. "Questions? No, no real questions, other than when I get to meet the rest of the band and start working together. I know their style from the prior recordings, but I'm sure they'll prefer to work it all out in play." And that's going to take time, obviously.<br><br>"This contract, then, is a standard fill-in contract for studio gigs and the tour." That'd make it just like all of the other contracts she's been doing lately, so Kelly knows what to look for in something like this. "The rest we'll work out if and when it's decided I'm the right fit. Solid enough." She drags the contract over, and starts reading through, comparing it mentally to other contracts she has worked on lately.<br><br>Soon enough, she'll have signed. The new bassist for Sounds of Sinners.<br><br>This is going to be one wild ride.

				Lou could sense Tiff's lovely legs squirm together. The way Tiff had been reacting..Lou felt that Tiff didn't really want this yet loved this very much. Smirking she slowly raised her hand up Tiff's top..hands spreading softly over chest. Her fingers played around as if they were finding something new to have fun with. The kiss had gone for a while and then suddenly Lou pulled back. Her snake-like tongue retreating slowly, leaving the teasing touches in the mouth of the other girl and then their lips parted from the tight connection they had been sharing. Smiling she looked at Tiff, hands still running over..now on her breasts, fondling them lovingly. "Something tells me we'll be going for much more than just kisses." She winked at Tiff.

				Charley discreetly looks at Carry when she enters the room and nods at the singer's silent words that was mouthed at her direction. The only real indication at that time she was very impressed with Kelly's performance here in the meeting room. There was already a sign that Kelly was going to work well with the others, since Carry (from her own experiences with the singer) was also sparse on praise on new people. This was looking to be promising. <br><br>Watching Ash come in the meeting room now, Charley wanted to ask who was watching the door but decided not to. At least it would save both her and the new bassist the time of running around and looking for the members. With Carry and Ash now here, she could see how the two would interact with the girl and gauge on how it meant the others who weren't here would react. If she was lucky, this could be like a Pete Best incident. A person leaving the band for the better. A blessing in disguise if there could ever be one.<br><br>Seeing the girl sign the contract was a relief for the manager, since it meant she had dodge another large bullet for the time being. There was still damage to repair and messes to be cleaned, but she was more than happy to savor this moment of still keeping her job for now. She took the contract away before the ink barely had a chance to dry and put it in her briefcase when Kelly signed it, clasping the case tight with the gold clasps on it.<br><br>"I can assure you that you'll be getting a more... fulfilling contract soon enough Kelly," Charley said to her, trying to soothe any worries about this development. "You have obvious charisma and I'm sure the look through will be quick and painless. And you will meet the band soon enough like.. ah... here's two of them right now." Pretending to look surprise, just for the sake of theatrics, she directly looked at Carry now. She gestured behind Kelly in motions of the lead singer,&nbsp; standing up now to fix the items on the table. "Kelly B, behind you is Miss Carry Worth and Miss Ash Ashmont. Girls, this is Miss Kelly B."

				Kelly was honestly playing just loud enough not to hear the tap on the door, nor the feet of someone else approaching behind her. Nevertheless, the blonde in black-trimmed pink is not unaware that someone is behind her. She's waiting, though, to find out who that is. After all, there's a woman in front of her who may well have her very future in her business-like hands.<br><br>Nevertheless, now that she's not playing, Kelly can't miss that the door opens again, and still more people come wandering in. So much for the guy who was supposed to be watching that door, huh? She turns around, glancing over her shoulder, and takes a second to take in Ash and Carry behind her, the surprise a visible impact on her that travels deep and then is tucked away inside.<br><br>Poor Charley's careful theatrics fall a tiny bit flat out of pure timing, but not for want of trying. Kelly doesn't seem to worried about the contract stuff: she's doing all she can to just treat this like any other fill-in, until something more comes of it. If it does. But she stands, her bass still in her left hand and strapped around her neck, and offers her right to Carry, and then Ash in turn. "Hey, you two. Like she said, I'm Kelly. Charley said you could use a bassist for a few days. Hope we can make some hot music together.<br>

				Caroline nodded at Ash as the pianist came in and sort of moved a little closer to her. Kim had taken her virginity, but, as the drummer seemed to have ditched her already, she felt no loyalty to the girl. She slipped an arm around Ash's waist, hoping the keyboard player wouldn't mind.<br><br>And then Charley introduced them both, and Kelly came out with that wonderful <em>double entendre</em>. Carry blushed and then burst out laughing. "Oh wow, you do come right to the point, don't you?" She giggled. Keeping her left hand where it was on Ash's bum, she held out her right. "Caroline Farnsorth, ay kay ay Carry Worth, superstar, squeaky clean front girl for SoS and darling of the press! Nice to meet you."<br><br>As she spoke, she gently squeezed Ash's behind. She'd been told that there was something about a girl's face that always changed when she lost her virginity, something that was almost impossible to define but that was somehow noticeable if you knew what to look for, and she <em>really</em> hoped that Charley could tell. She wanted the manager to <em>know</em> that she wasn't 'little miss goody-good' any more.

				If there had been any doubt that Carry and Kim had been doing more then practicing while they'd been MIA it was gone now. Carry had always been confidant Ash had never seen her make a blatant pass at someone before, obviously she was feeling much more secure then just a few hours ago, at least as far as she could see.&nbsp; <br><br>Ash gave no indication of how she felt about Carry slipping an arm around her, if anything she acted as if behavior like Carry's was completely normal. She rolled her eyes at Kelly's comment but smiled amused, her amused grin just grew as Carry introduced herself. She flashed Carry a smirk when she squeezed Ash's ass. <br><br>Turning her attention back to Kelly she smiled as nicely as she ever smiled with the slightest bit of a smirk curling the corner of her lips like she was in on a joke no one else got. She took her hand briefly as she spoke, " Ash," she said not bothing to elaborate, "I hope you last longer then the last girl." she said by way of good luck, as she slipped her arm behind Carry's back and trailed her fingertips just under the edge of her shirt along her lower back.

				Not really aware that she has made a <em>double entendre</em>, Kelly B has a moment's blankness to her expression at Carry's laughter and comment, but she catches up quickly enough and smirks, shrugging her mostly bare shoulders as she shakes Carry's hand and then Ash's. "I hope so too." she responds to Ash, not entirely sure if that was meant as snipingly as it could be taken, and not wanting to get into it regardless. Only time will tell how things get going. "Nice to meet you both. Hopefully my <em>rep</em> won't be any problem around here."<br><br>Of course, Kelly B's rep is pretty squeaky clean, all things considered. Some of her band mates in her previous band were into drugs, but she wasn't. The only questionable thing on the blonde bassist's rep was her habit for being a bit of a flirt, and for wearing daring outfits that don't quite fit the 'PG' squeaky clean look. Like the one she's wearing right now.<br><br>"So, what's next? More folks to meet? Or should we head to a rehearsal hall?" Kelly asks, unaware that the building they're in has a rehearsal hall in it. If she has any awareness of what Ash and Carry have been up to, she makes no sign of it. But she definitely doesn't seem to mind the side-hugging going on.<br>

With an overtly strict mother and a father that was more interested in working and escapades with his mistress, Tiffany found solace in music. It was in music that she felt free and could be whoever she wanted to be. Or at least imagine it. In her foggy mind, Tiffany wasn't even sure this was real. She was making out with a girl. Not just any girl, but with a goddess. In her daze of real confusion she figured out if this was all a dream then there would be no problem if... Tiffany's hands imitated Lou's hand and a bit awkwardly she slipped them under Lou's top and started exploring.

				Carry chuckled softly. "I left Kim back at her place - she said she wanted to drive in by herself." She looked at Charley, a shit-eating grin on her face. She was making it as obvious as she could that "little miss innocent" had left the building. <br><br>"Dunno where Lou is." She shrugged. "Anyway, before we got interested in ... other things, I showed Kim a song I've been working on. It's just lyrics really right now, but I have a tune in my head for it...

Either way, it's gonna be a hell of a lot better than the pre-digested pap the label is feeding us, or doing covers of seventies hits."<br><br>She smirked a little as she slipped her hand down inside the back of keyboard player's jeans, found the hem of her panties and slipped her hand inside them as well.

				Ash glanced at Carry a bit of surprised mixed with an expression that said she was impressed crossed her face shifting quickly to a please sort of smile. Waiting till no one was looking she slipped her hand up the back of Carry's shirt and with nimble fingers unhooked her bra flashing Carry a playful smirk once she was done.<br><br>Once in the studio Ash slipped away from carry forcing her to remove her hands from her pants. She walked over to the keyboard and turned it on and made sure the cables were plugged in completely this time rolling her eyes slightly at the need.<br><br>"Carry hum the tune for that new song, will you." Ash said as she placed her fingers in the starting position. She was used to playing melody, for each song providing back up to guitar and vocals for the most part so getting the melody down for the new song Carry was coming up with should be no problem. Besides she'd never heard anything about carry writting music and was a little interested to hear what she'd come up with.

				Charley's eyebrows disappeared when she heard Kelly B's accidental innuendo, flying into her hairline and vanishing like a thief in the night, but decided to not reprimand the bassist when she saw the expression on her face when Carry reacted like that. She hadn't meant it. Alright then, she'll be willing to let that slide. The manager kept her mouth shut as she continued to pack and put away her things, keeping an eye on the girls like a hawk.<br><br>She was content in watching the others at the moment, seeing how they interacted. So far, so good. Carry and Ash seemed to be charmed by Kelly, so that's two of the band members down. She gave Kelly a brief look... Ash... Carry...<br><br>Wait.<br><br>She looked at Carry again, noting the cocky and annoying grin and glow on the singer's face. Her heart sank and her stomach crunched. That was the very same look she had when she had lost her virginity.<br><br>Charley disapproved of this very, very much. She had spent much time and energy in making Carry look like the All-American girl -<em>virginity and all because it didn't scare the baby boomers</em>- and she decided it'll be alright to just throw it away for some fling with a guy? While rubbing it in her face like it was something to be proud of? Was she trying to fuck up her chance in fame on purpose by acting more reckless than usual or were all teenagers this dumb when they were younger? God, she hoped she wasn't this dumb when she had been their ages.<br><br>Honestly, she wondered why the fuck she even bothered if they were going to treat her like this at time. The way she was leaning close to Ash must mean she told her about what she had done, making the keyboard player an accomplice to this. She rubbed her temples again, knowing a headache will be coming on soon enough if she didn't get her damn pills. For the time being, she'll suppress her headaches with her management skills and deal with everything like she did: One at a time.<br><br>Watching the girls leave for the audio, Charley decided to leave them alone and first try to find out where Lou is. She swore to herself that if she found the woman doing something like the Fireworks Incident again, she'll personally kill the woman. She will.<br><br>Pulling out her cellphone, she opened her cellphone's Contacts and went straight to Lou's details. She left a simple message -<span style="font-family: courier;" class="bbc_font">New bassist is here. Please come back to meet here. Now.</span>- and sent it. She'll then contact the managements and have them start the look on Kelly's reputation quick, since they need an official bassist soon, damn it.

				Back in the studio, Carry uncased her axe and plugged it in, tuning it up quickly. The silver Stratocaster was still mostly in tune anyway.<br><br>She began to hum the tune she had in her head, the melody she'd sung to Kim earlier, humming it over again until Ash picked it up and started playing. "If you wanna improvise a harmony around it feel free." She turned to Kelly. "Same goes for you to, Kelly."<br><br>Carry paused, then began playing the intro she had thought of, the full version, not the abbreviated version she'd played at Kim's. Thinking of Kim, she suddenly felt guilty. She stopped playing. "Sorry, hold up."<br><br>Carry quickly sent a text. <span style="font-family: courier;" class="bbc_font">Kim, huny, need you here. luv U lots!</span><br><br>She nodded, counted the other two in again and restarted the intro.<br><br>And then she began singing:<br><br>♪♫I see you standin' over there on the corner♪♫<br>♪♫Watch' me as the sun goes down♪♫<br>♪♫I know you can't tear your eyes away from me♪♫<br>♪♫But baby You know that you'll never get me♪♫<br>♪♫We're two different people,♪♫<br>♪♫On two different sides of the same street♪♫

				Marie wasnt sure whether she should remain or simply go home.&nbsp; She wasnt really needed here anymore, make up wasnt needed in the studio.&nbsp; But then she had always enjoyed watching how a song came together.&nbsp; She couldnt help feeling so old compaired to them, she saw Carry and Ash head off to the studio, the new bassist Kelly following.&nbsp; She was sure she would be introduced when the time was right.<br><br>She left them for a few minutes, making a coffee in the small kitchen.&nbsp; She then walked into the studio, quietly taking a seat out of the way.&nbsp; It wasnt a seat as such, but a large speaker that wasnt being used.&nbsp; She perched on that and watched, listening as she sipped the drink.&nbsp; The hot liquid burning her lips, she had to be careful, she was terrible with hot drinks, she usually ended up burning herself.<br><br>Not really taking muych attention she didnt even think about the words of the new song when she heard them.&nbsp; It took a few seconds for them to sink in.&nbsp; She gasped, jumping to her feet, the coffee splashing aover the mug, across her hand.&nbsp; She put it down in a hurry, shaking the drips. <br><br>"What the..." she exclaimed, grabbing her bag and searching for the lyrics she had written.&nbsp; They werent there...how had her lyrics got into Carry's hands?&nbsp; She was stunned, pale and stood there, her shock clearly written over her face.<br><br>That was her song, not theirs.&nbsp; She hadnt even finished it...but...damn....

				Ash smiled as she played finding the perfect notes and cords to go with the words. Her fingertips danced over the keys as she played swelling the melody from a few basic cords to something much more complex. She hit the record button and kept playing as Carry sung the words.<br><br>She was impressed but the words, a bit surprised Carry hadn't told anyone she was writting. It was good and Ash enjoyed making up a more complicated accompaniment compared to the simple stuff she normally played, she hummed along to the words to keep herself in check and just played what she thought would sound right enjoying the brief freedom to improvise on the song.

				Kelly is at this point aware that something is going on, that Carry is alluding to something. But since she doesn't know the other girl, she has no way to really know what, and she's trying not to assume. But she's not dim enough to miss the hand delving along Ash's backside, even if she doesn't show shock. So that's how things are? Really?<br><br>"Nothing so wrong with good seventies hits." She murmurs softly, though not really arguing with Carry. After all, she wants to see the band succeed, and that's much more likely to happen with good songwriting than without. "OK. Let's go." With her bass around her neck and shoulder, she closes up the case and carries it along as well, following the others to the studio. They're cute, she'll give 'em that.<br><br>Once they reach the studio, Kim finds an amp, checks the power, and then plugs in, checking the levels with a few light strums and then stilling the strings and muting the pickup so that she can tune her ear instead to Carry's humming and then Ash's keyboard. Then she starts playing, chords and rythmns intended to harmonize around the melody and counterpoint against it while still providing a solid tempo to bring everyone together until the drums can be there to take up the slack.<br><br>Interesting lyrics. Of course, she has no way at all of knowing they're pilfered from the make-up girl. Oops.<br>

				Carryis enjoying the jam session more than anything else. She launches into the next verse of the song, the scrap of paper clipped to the music stand in front of her. Fortunately none of the others can see it, because she's not had time to write the words up in her own handwriting.<br><br>She imporovises the scanning and syncopation. Whoever wrote it hadn't finished it and it was a bit rough and raw around the edges...<br><br>♪♫We try to say, how much we feel♪♫<br>♪♫But others never let us♪♫<br>♪♫All I wanna do is touch you there♪♫<br>♪♫To kiss you, tell you babe, how much I care♪♫<br><br>The third verse flowed naturally. The other two were keeping up, and the harmonies they were adding worked really well. Variations crept in and the tempo changed - without drummer or rhythm guitar it was almost guaranteed to - but on the while, the effect she heard through her fold-back speakers was good.<br><br>♪♫I watch you from my window, dear♪♫<br>♪♫I see your face in shadows♪♫<br>♪♫Others can say I can't have you♪♫<br>♪♫But all I know is with you I could fly♪♫<br><br>Carry took a deep breath and yelled "<strong>Refrain</strong>", to let the others know the melody was changing, then carried on:<br><br>♪♫I want to fly♪♫<br>♪♫With the wind to carry me♪♫<br>♪♫I want to fly♪♫<br>♪♫Knowing that you're there♪♫<br>♪♫I want to fly♪♫<br>♪♫With words that say you love me♪♫<br>♪♫Knowing that your there♪♫<br>♪♫Just Waiting for me♪♫<br><br>She added a little to the refrain, because it didn't work as it was - the number of lines was wrong to bring the phrase to completion. <strong>"Instrumental break! Ash, take the melody!"</strong> She called out, and switched from strumming to plucking - proving once again that she deserved to be the lead guitarist, improvising around Ash's keyboards. Her eyes closed as she <em>saw</em> the music in her mind's eye, taking the harmony into the Strat's descant register the way the old seventies guitar heroes had done, her left hand working right up into the finger cut-out, then right down again into the bass register where she could only make the fingering by shifting the whole Fender to her right.<br><br><strong>"Refrain!"</strong><br><br>♪♫I want to fly♪♫<br>♪♫With the wind to carry me♪♫<br>♪♫I want to fly♪♫<br>♪♫Knowing that you're there♪♫<br>♪♫I want to fly♪♫<br>♪♫With words that say you love me♪♫<br>♪♫Knowing that your there♪♫<br>♪♫Just Waiting for me♪♫<br><br>She went back to the melody as she started the last verse<br><br>♪♫I long to let you know I care♪♫<br>♪♫But others interfere♪♫<br>♪♫They keep us from each other dear♪♫<br>♪♫Prevent our love from being here♪♫<br><br>♪♫I watch you and I want you now♪♫<br>♪♫Together we could fly♪♫<br><br>♪♫I want to fly♪♫<br>♪♫With the wind to carry me♪♫<br>♪♫I want to fly♪♫<br>♪♫Knowing that you're there♪♫<br>♪♫I want to fly♪♫<br>♪♫With words that say you love me♪♫<br>♪♫Knowing that your there♪♫<br>♪♫Just Waiting for me♪♫<br><br>♪♫I want to fly♪♫<br>♪♫With the wind to carry me♪♫<br>♪♫I want to fly♪♫<br>♪♫Knowing that you're there♪♫<br>♪♫I want to fly♪♫<br>♪♫With words that say you love me♪♫<br>♪♫Knowing that your there♪♫<br>♪♫Just Waiting for me♪♫<br><br>♪♫Just Waiting for me♪♫<br>♪♫Just Waiting for me♪♫<br>♪♫Waiting♪♫<br><br>Carry let the last note fade away and took a deep breath. She was bathed in sweat, something that didn't normally happen at rehearsal. She had poured her heart into the song and it had left her feeling drained, but exhilarated.<br><br>She took the guitar off and let out a whoop. "WHOOOHOOO! Nice one girls!"

				Ash smiled brightly, it had sounded better then she'd expected and though she rarely found pleasure improvising because it went against her training once in a while it just flowed and was perfect. This had felt like one of those times, there was no hesitation or foul notes it had just worked.<br><br>"That was awesome." She said with enthusiasm raking her fingertips threw her hair pushing it back from where it had fallen in her face while she'd been playing. "Someones been keeping secrets though, when did you write that Carry?" she asked coming out from behind the key board to where the other two were standing. <br><br>She hated how separate she felt behind the key board and always made a point of coming out from behind it and joining the others on the main section of the stage to talk. She bumped her hip playfully against Carry's giving her a slight smirk as she waited to hear where the song had come from.

				Going out to follow them from the meeting room, briefcase in tow, the manager was busy texting and calling on her multiple phones. Whatever she was doing, it wasn't known to the girls and she wasn't about to tell them anytime soon. Charley had potentially saved the band from early retirement, so this could be just her playing games between herself. She didn't look up at once when they got to their destination and the girls took out their instruments and prepped themselves for the session. Long as the girls didn't set anything on fire or harassed anyone, they can do as they please long as it was profitable for her and them. Charley was on a bloody break. <br><br>Stopping at the right of where they were staying, blocked by view so she wasn't bothered or seen by anyone else, she continued to play and twiddle oblivious to all the events around her. She didn't notice what the others were doing until she heard the music being played and she heard Carry singing... singing... what was that? <br><br>The woman looked up from her cellphone and Blackberry at last, her brow furrowing while she listened carefully as possible. Hearing this new and sudden song as the girls practiced, Charley felt warning bells ring in the back of her head. Where had <em>that</em> come from? She hadn't heard it before during their practice jam sessions. Taking out the planned songs list, complete with samples of their lyrics, for the Charley scanned for certain words to see if it was a song they were going to use, but just mixed up the melody for the sport of it all. And they had a new bassist, so they could just sound different to her ears.<br><br><em>They had done it more than once</em>, she told herself as she looked for the lyrics, <em>for the kicks of it all.</em><br><br>She looked and flipped through the two pages that she had retrieved from her suitcase, straining her ears to recall the verses and her eyes to make sure she didn't miss a thing.<br><br>There was no sign of it there on the list.<br><br><em>Must be a brand new song</em>, she thought while looking at Ash and Carry and Kelly. <em>I never heard it on the radio before or on those specialized radios. An... an original?</em><br><br>Did Carry write that? There wasn't any possible chance she could have. Charley had watched the girls over the past few days like a hawk, and she was pretty sure that she never saw Carry pour herself into a notebook and pen. Not to be rude, but she just couldn't imagine Carry being able to sit down and contemplate lyrics and meaning. She was too lively and outgoing for matters like that. Ash had just asked when Carry did that, so that makes her out. Lou wasn't here... so another one down. Fuming at the mystery, Charley pressed her hands on her hips and looked around in frustration and saw the make up girl, she really needed to learn her name, and noted her posture. She was too far in Charley's opinion to see her expression, but she didn't look happy.<br><br>Hmmm...<br><br>"Carry, can I see the paper that you wrote that on?" Charley walked over to where the two were, a frown on her lips. "Because I'm impressed by the lyrics." An actual vocal praise. A rare thing in Charley.

				Lou felt Tiffany finally comply and her hands spread inside her top. She moaned softly. Her other hand moved downwards as it played with her skirt a little teasingly before moving forward in there methodically. Her fingers probed Tiff's panties. There was a certain innocent, pure quality about everything Tiff did..Lou loved such girls. They were the angels to Lou's devils and like they say, opposites always end up attracting each other. She giggled lightly and whispered jokingly, referring to what they were just doing. "Welcome to Sound of Sinners exclusive fanbase!"

				Charley came up and asked to see the lyrics... Carry panicked. "Uh... no, sorry, Charley. They aren't ready yet... still polishing them. I mean, what I sang then wasn't what's written here anyway. I'll get them tidied up, pen the tune down on stave paper and get copies to everyone... I'm not thinking we should perform it live or anything... I just ... well it's something I wrote years ago - a poem. I found it recently and thought I'd try setting it to music, but it needs polishing..."<br><br>She bluffed hard, taking the paper and folding it up and putting it in her pocket. I think someone should go find Lou. I texted Kim to get her to hurry up, I was hoping she'd be here by now... I hope we've not lost the drummer as well, two in one day would be <em>really</em> bad!"<br><br>She hoped to distract Charley with that.

				Carry felt someone looking at her - mire, she felt someone burning holes in her. She looked up and caught the eye of the make-up woman. She didn't even know her name. She'd always been friendly, always had a kind word to say up to now... and suddenly she was giving Carry a look that said 'I want you dead!'<br><br>Carry may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but she was not totally stupid. She was quite capable of putting two and two together and getting four. The paper had been on the flour by her guitar. She'd often noticed the woman scribbling in a pad. She'd claimed the song as her own and now Mrs Make-up was pissed.<br><br>Carry sighed softly. "My hair is a fucking mess, thanks to Kim. Going to get it fixed." She put her fender on its stand and walked over to the make-up and hair lady. "I think we need to talk, somewhere private..."

				Carry sniggered softly. It wasn't really funny, she knew, but this just happened to be the same office she'd gone to with Kim, earlier.<br><br>As soon as the door was shut, she came straight to the point. "No one's going to believe you... You can shout it to the world and they'll treat you the way they treat everyone who makes claims like that. Crazy lady wanting to horn in on the lime-light!"<br><br>She grinned. "On the other hand..." She pulled her wallet out of her pocket and pulled out two hundred dollar bills. "That's for the paper and the ink... If we get a hit with your song, I'll pay you a decent amount. If it flops, you loose nothing because <em>I</em> wrote it, so I take the blame!"<br><br>She shrugged. "Can you imagine what would have happened to you if you'd taken that song to Charley?

I dunno, I would probably have given it back... asked if we could use it.

The band don't really like me... Sure they respect me, they like the money I make them with my voice and my guitar and my image... which I hate, by the way!" She sat heavily on the floor, a big crocodile tear rolling down her cheek. "But really they all think I'm a spoiled brat! I suppose I am, but that's not my fault, is it? Kids don't spoil themselves do they?"<br><br>The tears were rolling properly now, the sobs too. She dug the paper out of her pocket. "Here... I won't use it again... if it means that much to you..."

				Kelly B sings along, taking an alto harmony to Carry's melody for the second and third iterations of the refrain, continuing with the varied chords and improvised harmonics she's bringing with the bass guitar as the song continues. By the time they finish, she's pretty well grinning like a fool, pretty pleased with how well she, Carry and Ash have blended together so easily. She'd had no idea Carry was such a songwriter as this, and she's pleased and impressed. The band will find it much easier to make a name for themselves with a really good songwriter creating their own stuff.<br><br>When they finally finish, she gives a whooping cry in echo to Carry's. "Yeah! We've gotta polish that one up" she belts out, giving an approving smile and a thumbs-up to Ash and Carry. Then she joins the other two, smiling, as Charley approaches. She has no idea of any suspicions growing in Charley's mind about the origins of the song. She doesn't know the internal dynamics here to be able to pick that up. Nor does she realize the daggers being stared over by Marie off to the side, at least not yet.<br><br>"Carry's right, we should totally get the rest of the band together. I have to meet everyone, after all. Then maybe we can get a practice session going." Kelly purses her lips for a moment as Carry heads off with the other woman, apparently their stylist. Ooohkay. "Hey, Ash. Show me the catalog of music, willya? I can start looking through stuff while we wait for Carry's hair and the rest of the band. That was some nice improve on the instrumental break. I liked it." It can't hurt to send some good vibes to the keyboardist, especially when she's telling the truth.

				Carry looked up, she sniffled one last time. "Okay, thanks... Look, I meant it. I'm sorry I used this without asking, but... I didn't know who to ask, did I? For all I know someone could have put it there deliberately... Anyway, I <em>will</em> pay you... for this, and any more. A fair price."<br><br>She stood up and wiped her face, grinning slightly. "Kinda obvious I was fakin' it, huh?" She headed back to the main practice room.<br><br>"Okay Band... Let's Rock and Roll!"

				Ash had been looking threw her bag for sheet music for the other songs the band was doing. She never actually used the music except at home when she practiced in private,most of it she had memorized long before coming to rehearsal so it took her several minutes to find it.<br><br>Carry and Kim showed up just as she found it. She pulled it out and crossed the stage area to hand it to Kelly, "Here that's everything I've got. Thanks by the way" She said with a slight smile, handing it over before sitting back down at the key board. Plugging in a head set and putting it over one ear leaving one ear exposed so she could still hear the others she pulled out of sheet of blank music paper and played the improve she'd just done on the last song writing out the notes as she listened editing little bits here and there as she went.

She moaned softly. Her other hand moved downwards as it played with her skirt a little teasingly before moving forward in there methodically. Her fingers probed Tiff's panties. There was a certain innocent, pure quality about everything Tiff did..Lou loved such girls. They were the angels to Lou's devils and like they say, opposites always end up attracting each other. She giggled lightly and whispered jokingly, referring to what they were just doing. "Welcome to Sound of Sinners exclusive fanbase!"<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>Tiffany felt Lou's fingers explore her inner being. As she touched her deeper than anyone has ever touched her, she let a moan escape her lips. She enjoyed the feeling of the hardness of Lou's fingers inside her. Then suddenly Tiffany's life flashed before her eyes. She saw her mother lecturing her about how a proper girl should behave and this was not it. An immense sense of guilt washed over Tiffany like overflowing tub water. Tiffany's legs clamped shut and she looked at Lou as if looking at her for the last time and whispered, "I'm sorry... I can't." Tiffany started crying, got&nbsp; up and ran out the door distraught. She ran out of the studio into the street without looking. Luckily there were no cars at that time. She walked pass the fruit market without looking where she stepped and missed a banana peel by two inches. Tiffany went to her room and stared at the poster of the band before tearing it apart. She turned around to her CD collection and put on some Mozart.<br><br>Tiffany's mom would later find all the CDs and band paraphernalia in the trash and smiling knowing her little girl was once again on the path of being a good proper girl.

				The 'guardian' of sorts for the girls knew something was off right off the bat when Carry refused to let her see the lyrics when she had asked to seem them. The manager frowned, but said nothing of it and instead took a mental note of it instead. Usually, the girl would be more than eager to show off her work to anyone if she thought it was good enough. And she had sung it today, meaning it must be worthy to the mere mortals she was around with. If anything positive has something to do with her, she'll flash it to the word. <br><br>Poor word structure, but Charley could not care a wit for things like those at the moment. <br><br>Thinking about the excuse Carry made, Charley was torn on whether or not to believe it or pull the girl aside and commence <em>24</em>-style interrogation. While the polishing and cleaning possible be true, Carry was a bit of a perfectionist when it came to her work and disliked needing help from others if she thought she could do it by herself, it still felt... wrong. Something about those lyrics made her head go 'bzzzz' but she had no idea where the button was coming from. Did she hear it from somewhere else? Was she just worried about this wild card possibility? Why did her head hurt so much right now when a potential crisis like this came up? <em>Why?</em><br><br>"Ugh," she thought, rubbing her temples and simply watching the girls do their thing now and let them get back into their own beat. "Damn it, I don't really care for this right now."<br><br>All she cared for at the moment&nbsp; was the possibility that she had to soon fend off lawsuits of alleged copy infringement and all that jazz if her morbid and pessimistic assumptions were correct. She reached for her oh-so-trusty Blackberry and quickly sent a prepared-in-advanced text message to her lawyer to talk about this scenario later and how to deal with it in court. In order to see how they could make this quick and painless for them and the girls' reputation. Just in case. It's not like she actually <em>believes</em> Carry is capable of doing that at all, she doubts Carry is that catty in her young years, but she just wants to make sure. She didn't become a manager for this dysfunction junction for nothing, damn it. This was her last chance to prove herself to the company and she wasn't going to be fuck it up one way or another.<br><br>Taking a few steps back now as she watched the others do their thing, she quickly started to get her cellphones and started to text and call people. It was almost the hour of 'Scope Hour' for her, where she would go on and check websites and new sites and gossip sites that would have anything that was concerning the Sound of Sinners girls. While some might think this was lazy, Charley did it in order to see what the current perception of the girls were. So if anything negative about them came up, she and the PR could jump in and clean it again. This had saved them before and she was certain it'll save them again. Especially with the tour coming so close. And while she despised Perez Hilton, the man at least articulated the general population of Hollywood watchers. <br><br>She clicked on his site on her Blackberry and watched the loading bar come up.
