I was so exited. I was at a Jewel concert, and I had a backstage pass to meet the beautiful singer. She was just getting done know.
"Thanks everyone, you were the best audience I've had yet." That was my cue. I told my friends to wait her, "I'm gonna meet Jewel." They gave me a sneer, "You lucky bastard." When Jewel was off the stage I walked over to her tour bus. I was the last in line. However, Jewel only had a few devotees that wanted to meet her. She was known to be a bitch, so that turned off many people. Who cares, I figure, you don't get many opportunities like this. Well, actually, I get many opportunities like this.
When at last it was my turn I said, "Hi, how's it goin'? You were awesome."
"Yeah, yeah, what's your name, kid?"
"Bob," I said a bit annoyed with her personality. You would think that with fans like me she would be happy. She signed a picture of her, and she posed for a picture with me. Clearly her smile was fake.
"Bob, know that that is over, how bout comin' to my trailer with me? We can talk one on one." Was she serious? This didn't seem like Jewel. But, oh well, who's to argue with this opportunity?
"Sure, that sounds cool."
"Great, come on." We walked for awhile and I got to know the other Jewel. She told me that some people annoy her, and that is why she can be a bitch. "I'm sick of having to answer the questions about my past. Come on, already, get over it. The only reason you struck me as different was because of how you approached me. Most people figure I'm a bitch and are afraid of me. You sure weren't. I admire that" We got to her trailer, and I, being the good boy, opened the door for her.
"What a gentlemen. Are you gonna escort me up the steps as well?" Why not, she was asking for it. I took her hand and did just that. She giggled. "What a flirt. Well, are you coming in?"
When inside I shut the door behind me and sat down. "Would you like a Coke?"
"Sure, thanks."
