Oh the hell with it
This isn't a cap, but I don't want to post it to fanfic - the background on this being that I'm in an RPG where my character was dating
for a while
before he broke her heart. This little vignette was written in mid-March, while the band was in Vancouver for rehearsals (and an hour after I posted it I got asked to take it down, as the person playing Adam told me that Adam was about to end things between our pups
)
The sound of the alarm wakes Cate, and she finds herself in bed alone - not unusual these past few days since she arrived from LA, given Adam's early meetings and rehearsals for the tour. The alarm itself, however, is. She rolls over to check the time and finds a note taped over the clock.
Good morning love - there will be a car waiting for you downstairs at 11:00 to bring you to the arena. Don't be late! Love, Adam. She lifts the note to find the clock reading 10:00am and chuckles. "Smartarse," Cate mutters affectionately to herself before heading for the shower.
Once the car arrives she's directed down a long hallway with an unusually high ceiling, noting a faded remnant of a sign reading "Vancouver Grizzlies Basketball Club".
Well, that explains the ceiling, Cate chuckles to herself. Just as she passes another sign reading "Vancouver Canucks" she hears the very familiar notes of the opening guitar riff to "Vertigo", and by the time Bono gets to "The lights go down" she's just inside the doorway of the room where rehearsal's going on, practically bouncing. Confident she can't be seen - even though it's not the main arena floor the room is quite large - she moves to where she can see Adam clearly and then sings along softly, watching him the whole time, unable to keep from dancing. Her mind drifts a bit to the night before as she watches, remembering his hands moving over her like they are on the bass, gifted fingers knowing where to tou-
"Did you enjoy that, love?"
It's Bono's voice, and her eyes open
when did they close? to find him grinning at her from behind the mic stand. She blushes, then goes even redder when she sees that Edge and Larry are laughing and applauding.
OOPS. Cate shakes her head, laughing at herself. "Of course I did," she calls back, still laughing as she moves toward the front of the room. "I'm getting my own private concert!"
I somehow locked the mouse on my laptop.
Can anyone help me?
Wonder if it's safer to post something at the end of a thread...
