Nobody told me it feels so good
Nobody said you'd be so beautiful
Nobody warned me about your smile
You're the light, you're the light
When I close my eyes, I'm colourblindIt was mid-gig and he was worn out already, which seemed to happen more often these days as he was starting to get a little older now, always on his mind.. the aging process he couldn't miss when he looked into the mirror. But no matter how many times he tried to fuss over his appearance, it took his woman all of a few seconds to flip the frown upside down, and when he was performing it was no different. She had attended the show this evening and wanted to be in the crowd as opposed to waiting backstage for him, which gave her the perfect opportunity to send a gift his way, lifted to the stage and into his arms by a member of security as his gaze fixed on her own and she smiled that beautiful smile up at him, her eyes twinkling as his lips turned upward at either corner. Surrounding fans echoed a mix of ooh's and aww's as they stared between the pair of them, some a little bit green with envy, but nothing came of it and he held onto the roses for the remainder of the show, standing still in one spot as often as he could in an effort to combat his tiredness. There was a loving tenderness in her expression for the entirety of the performances that followed and he caught it each time he cast his eyes in her direction, his inability to respond in any other way but hinting at his smittenness was very telling and she blushed a lot more than she ever had before in their relationship; even more so than her first time with him.
Several songs later, he made his way off the stage as his leather jacket came off too before he even went out of sight and everyone in the area was filtered out by a handful of security guards, all but his lady. She waited there at the front, resting her arms over the barrier before Ian stumbled over to call her backstage, at which she obliged with a soft smile and followed behind him until they reached the guys dressing room. All of them were as worn out as they had been on the actual stage as they were scattered about the room, two lounging on the three seater sofa while on showered and the other stood behind the makeshift changing area. Helene greeted each of them, except for Mic whom Ian said had hopped into the shower before anyone else even got the chance to get near the door, which made her chuckle as she gave a little shake of her head and asked where Joey was.
' Right here, älskling, ' he cooed, approaching her from behind as he hadn't made it to the room yet because he was finding a vase for the roses she had given him earlier. Joey pulled her into his arms as soon as she spun on her heel to greet him and she ignored the glistening of sweat coating his skin, because all she wanted to do was kiss him. ' Thank you for the roses, ' he whispered, resting his forehead against her own as she kissed him full on the mouth, holding onto his shoulders as his arms curled protectively around her waist and Ian made some remark about the two needing to find another room to be getting deep into all that business. Even though they had been together now for many years, he still found the time to crack those sorts of jokes, but neither Joey or Helene seemed to mind.
' I'm glad you like them, handsome.. it took a while to grow them all out perfectly, ' she stated, noting the look in his eyes as he hadn't expected she might have grown them personally as opposed to buying stock for her florist. The surprise on his face only made her chuckle for the second time that night and before he could say another word, she rose a little higher on her toes and kissed him again, the groan from three grown men following the cute display of affection before two moved off the sofa to go grab themselves a coffee to wake up from the worn out state his body was in.
Only one had moved initially, asking the others present if they also wanted drinks, but the other joined him and trotted quickly behind so they could stretch their legs a little more. Ian remained behind and busied himself digging through his overnight bag for a fresh set of clothes to change into as Mic came out of the shower and he slipped in after him yelling dibs, as though Joey was currently about to leave his wife whom had wrapped him up securely in her embrace so he was unable to move a muscle. Helene noticed the hold she had on him then, loosening her grip bit by bit as an apology fell from her lips and she blushed, her pink cheeks something for him to softly taunt as she cast her eyes down to the ground beneath their feet.
' Come lay with me a while, Helene, ' he asked, pulling her over to the now available sofa and falling back on one side, stretching out just enough to get comfortable and tugging her down onto it with him. She leaned down against him, resting her head on his shoulder as her hand settled onto his chest and she started to undo the buttons of his shirt, opening it a little more to help him cool down as he continued for a little while to pant. ' Jag älskar dig.. ' he whispered, pressing his lips flush against her forehead and hugging her closer to him as his arms wrapped around her frame.
' I love you, too, Joey, ' she smiled, one of genuine adoration and happiness, in awe of the life she now had because she was so in love with the man she was laying against. Nothing could have prepared her for the joy she had found in travelling so far away from home; so far from her family, but in him she had found a new home and someone whom would take care of her as well as her heart. ' Thank you for making me so happy. '
Joey looked down at her then as she lifted her head to regard him, too, smile present on both of their faces as Ian stumbled out of the shower, took one look at the loved up duo and cackled before going about his business getting changed behind the screen. The male placed a kiss upon the end of her nose and delighted in the fact that her cheeks turned another shade of deep pink in response to his affections and she leaned up closer to his face to capture those lips with her own, crawling over him until she was straddling him upon the sofa and he held onto her waist as she leaned the rest of the way down for a needy kiss.
' I never believed I'd be so lucky as to find love with a woman like you, ' he breathed against her lips, drawing her in deeper as one hand rose and he tangled his fingers in the hair at the back of her head so she could not pull away from the assault on her mouth, save for the soft squeak that left her as soon as he did this.
