47. Concert

I put my clothes on in my bedroom. Then send Mike some pictures.

-Wow babygirl, you even make that look beautiful.-

-I love you. You always make me smile. Are you having any luck with your search?-

-I love you too. I may have found someone. Trying to get it verified before I go all the way over there. I'll let you know. Where are you staying at tonight?-

-I have no idea.-

-I'll have Jax send you to the penthouse. I'll be there by the time you're back.-

-I can't wait to cuddle you.-

-Me either, baby. Go have fun and I'll see you soon.-

I get to the living room and almost everyone is in it. I jump on the couch. I am so damn excited.

Conner picks me up around my waist and puts me on my feet. Then he lays down. "That was a lot of food."

"You took my jumping spot."

"Pick a new one. I need to stretch out."

I throw myself over the arm of a different chair and lay on it.

Clover comes in and she looks amazing. She's got a corset-style top with a little black skirt like mine. She went with boots too. She has lots of bracelets though and necklaces. Her hair is opposite mine. She lightened all of it except the roots. So, it's the same effect, just backwards.

"I love that top. Wish I would have seen it."

Conner laughs. "It was like she lived in that store her whole life. She knew where everything was. I was asking her questions."

She smiles. "I always loved this style. It's so dark and mysterious."

Drogon comes in and captures my attention. I did not realize he could be that sexy. He looks like a real bad boy. My eyes are glued to him as he walks. Then he sees me lying over the chair. He falls back into a chair as he stares at my legs.

Jax stands up from the desk. He was doing something on the computer. "Helicopter. We're a little early, but that's fine. Your security is already there."

Clover crosses her arms. "We have to go in a car, so people see us."

"It's too late."

"I'll get us a limo." Drogon gets out his phone.

"I'll inform security."

"The limo is meeting us 2 blocks away from the concert. They'll escort us from there."

We make it quickly and the limo is waiting for us. We get in and Jax has a clipboard. He moves us around. "This is how we're getting out. I'm going first. So, I can be out there with the guards. Then Conner. Flint. Annie. Chris. Clover. Clayton. Clayton, help Eleanor out of the car. Drogon. Thena. Should anything happen, Conner and Drogon, get Thena and Clayton out quickly. You have immunity when protecting either of them."

Conner stares at me and nods. Then I climb in. Drogon sits by me and I wiggle all over. This is so exciting. I've never even been to a concert.

We pull up outside, and I can see the camera flashes through the tinted glass. Then Jax gets out. Conner blocks the door until Jax comes back. Then Conner gets out, and the crowd starts cheering. It adds to my nerves and excitement. I blurt out, "I've never been to a concert."

Drogon laughs. "I haven't been to one like this before."

When it's Clayton's turn to get out, the crowd starts cheering louder. I can hear the press people yelling for him. I watch him help Eleanor out. I squeeze Drogon's arm and smile. "He remembered her."

He laughs and gets out. This must throw the news people for a loop because they yell for him even louder. Then he gives me his hand. I stand up, and it's like daylight, there are so many camera flashes. People are yelling, but I can't understand a word of it. I think about getting back in the car for a second, but he puts his hand on my back and keeps me with him.

He keeps his hand on my back and walks me through the entrance. Then a man jumps over the rail and runs for me. "PRINCESS."

Drogon pulls me up against him and grabs my arm with his hand that's not around me. I feel safe and he's warm. Our security lays him out and has him cuffed in 3 seconds.

"Keep them moving." Jax is pointing at the door.

I get guided into the building like that. Then we get escorted to the VIP box. Clover takes a deep breath. "That was intense."

I nod. "I tried to get back in the car."

Clayton cracks up laughing. "You can let go of her now, Drogon."

"No, I can't. She's shaking."

Conner picks me up. "You're fine. We weren't going to let anything happen to you."

I wrap around him and lay my head on his shoulder. "I forgot how to walk."

"That's fine. He got you in here. I can always carry you. I don't think he can carry you. He's not strong like me."

Drogon laughs. "I could carry 2 of her."

Conner smirks. "I bet I could still go further. Next time, we'll use the roof though. The door was a lot." He puts me in a seat and gives me some water.

"Ok."

Jax comes in. "Is she alright?"

"Yea, she's fine. It just scared her." Conner hands me a chocolate bar then goes with Jax.

"We're on the news." Clayton laughs. "My mom is freaking out about my hair. Royal kids don't look like that." He starts typing. "Yes, we sure as hell do, mom." Then he cracks up laughing. "She's never letting us out again."

I smile. "I had so much fun today. We have to do it again."

Flint points at the stage. "It hasn't even started."

"I meant the shopping part. It was fun."

Clover plops down beside me. "We have to try the slums next. We can see what's there."

Drogon sits on the other side of me. "My dad said, that's an interesting look."

"We can be bikers next time." Clayton sits in front of us.

Clover nods. "Or gothic. That's a neat style too."

I smile. "Both of those would be interesting. Leather pants."

Conner sits down shaking his head. "I am not wearing leather pants."

"I'LL WEAR LEATHER PANTS." Chris runs over. "Why?"

"Bikers next."

"Can any of us actually ride a motorcycle?"

We crack up laughing.

"I'll summon the limo again."

"Gonna have to."

The music starts, and we run to the rail in the box. We jump around for hours singing along with them. Then I glance at the chairs. Clover is sitting between Jax and Conner. I want that seat. Chris spins me around and I dance again. Then Clover's gone so I run over and take the spot.

"Are you tired?" Jax gives me some water.

"No. I'm itchy." They get my gloves off.

Then Eleanor sits on the other side of Jax. "I got makeup in my eye."

20 minutes later, we're dancing again. Then we get to a song where people show their chests. Chris and I are ready for it. Clover is arguing with her top. "It won't move like that."

I grab the bottom of my shirt and so does Drogon. I try to pull it up, and he holds it down. "No."

"But." My eyes fill up with tears. "Everyone else is."

"No. No chance in hell. I will tie that shirt on you."

I stick my bottom lip out, and he picks me up. He sits me between him and Conner.

Conner smiles. "Did you try to show your boobs?"

"Yes."

"Don't do that. Your boobs will be all over the TV and internet forever. It's not worth it."

"What would your dad say?" Drogon hands me some water.

"Who cares? He would probably abandon me again. Or kill me better this time."

Conner takes my water and Drogon throws his sweater over me.

"Come on. Security gave us the ok to leave." Jax picks Clover up.

I stand up and stretch. "How did I sleep during that? It was so loud."

"The music was over. We were waiting for security."

I make it to the helicopter and Jax is handing out makeup remover wipes like an angel. "We're going to the penthouse. I'm leaving Clover with you."

I nod. "She'll like waking up to that view of the city."

"Who is going where? I need to get the helicopters in motion. Drogon, yours is already in the air. They have her address in the city. Clover is staying. Flint, Annie, and I are going back to the market. I have a royal helicopter coming for Eleanor. Another one is coming for Clayton. Is that good?"

Chris nods. "Good for me. I'll stay in my apartment."

"Same." Conner gets the makeup off his eyes.

We go into my apartment and stand in the kitchen. We attack the fridge. Mike must have stocked it because there's all kinds of junk food in it.

Drogon leans on the counter. "So, you live in the same building?"

"Her dad's gift to her." Chris chugs an orange juice. "Why the hell am I so thirsty?"

"You and me both." I chug half a bottle of water.

Jax comes out. "She's in the 2nd room. I dimmed the window."

"Thank you."

"We can go up now. The helicopters are landing."

They take off and I snuggle against Mike.
