"no. no. No. NO" Vanity yelled down the phone as I filled her in on everything that had happened with Paul and Francie. Down to my worries about Roger and Chrystal.
"Look Baby girl, that boy ADORES you. He is so in love with you. He would NEVER hurt you. Believe me I know what I saw, that shit is real love" She said wistfully down the phone. I had earlier on mailed her photos of the boys on stage wearing the outfits I had created. We must have been on the phone for a solid 45 minutes, the conversation flying in a blur of gossip. The door knocked interrupting a conversation of the recent scandal between our shop assistant and her ex boyfriend
"Who is it?"
"Its Rog" I laughed. I had honestly been waiting for something to happen after Paul had spoken to me about Roger and Chrystal. Roger had yet to do anything that would break my heart. The boys had a few days off and he had made sure he had spent every day, and night with me. It was a lot of fun, and involved a LOT of shagging. Roger knew something was up, it was like he could sense it. But he hadn't asked any intrusive questions. The "incident" with Paul had happened and though no body knew exactly what our conversation had entailed. But everyone had witnessed our epic standoff. Although I had spoken briefly to Chris and Holly, but we hadn't really had much time to properly discuss it. Vanity was the first person I really had the chance to vent to.
"Hey V I'll call you later. Look after the shop, I love ya"
"I love ya Evelyn" she said blowing kisses down the phone as she hung up.
Roger came in a soft smile playing on his lips. I loved this side of him, he was so kind and sweet. Totally unlike the rowdy persona everyone first sees on the surface. He slipped down beside me softly planting a kiss on my temple. I leaned in to him nestling in the safety of his chest. The fear again though was burning inside me, I wanted to lay in this safety for as long as I could. As long as I could still call him mine. My head fell to his lap and his hand automatically reached down smoothing my hair gently. We lay in silence, both of us clearly pondering on the events. Roger breathed deeply, almost a saddened sigh. I looked up to see him, gracefully a tear fell from his eye and rolled slowly down his cheek. He quickly wiped it away, thinking I hadn't seen it. I sat up and crossed my legs so I was facing him. I looked at him tilting my head questioningly.
"Roger ar-"
"You aren't going to leave me are you Evie?" He blurted. My mouth hung open, unable to form words. It had never occurred to me Roger may have the fear I would leave him, I had always thought I would be the one he would leave. That he would get bored of me and desert me. He always had countless girls falling at his feet, girls constantly wanting him. So why would he ever think it would be ME who left.
"Roger what are you talking about? What gave you that idea?" I stumbled quickly over my words. He scoffed nearly mocking my statement
"Evie, don't be stupid. Look at you, look at me. You are kind, cool, funny, smart and unbelievably beautiful. You are without a doubt, completely out of my league" He paused his bright eyes slowly brimming with sparkling tears.
"Paul, he shows up now. He seems to be everywhere I turn. I just, I don't want you to leave me" He paused again.
"I love you god dammit. Sometimes I wish I didn't, cause I can't bare to even think of how much It would hurt me if you ever left" Another glistening tear rolled down his cheek as his big blue eyes stared deeply in to mine. I lifted my hand and slowly wiped the tear from his cheek. My thumb curving down to stroke along his jaw. He looked at me, fear in his eyes. I smiled at him
"I love you Roger Meddows Taylor" I laughed looking down in to my lap "I always thought you would be the one to leave me"
"You wha- I would neve- Why?" He said in complete disbelief, bewilderment coating his face.
I rolled my eyes, amazed by how oblivious he was "Roger for god sake. At every concert women scream your name and are crawling all over you. They wear revealing clothes and put on makeup, desperate for your attention. God look at you, you are gorgeous no wonder they are all over you. You are incredibly talented and so lovely" I pause, making the decision to leave out the fact that Paul had mentioned Chrystal to me. I hadn't even noticed the hot tears trickling down my face.
"You are every girl's dream. I always figured you would get bored and move on to someone new." I shrugged finishing my sentence. Roger looked at me a second his mouth wide with astonishment, before he leaned forward quickly and engulfed me in a soft, yet safe hug. He pulled back his hands still gently stroking up and down my shoulders, he looked at me shaking my head and smiling
"Evie, you are too good for me. I honestly don't deserve you. The reason I don't pay attention to any of those other girls is because none of them matter when you are around. You make me nervous, make me laugh, you make me cry, quite frankly you make me a better person. I honestly didn't know what I was missing before you came in to my life. I know I used to have the reputation of constantly sleeping around, but I would pass off thousands of girls. Just to kiss you once. God Evelyn Lily, I love you. More than you know" He finished looking deeply and meaningfully in to my eyes, his blue eyes glittering with love. His hands had trailed down from my arms to grasp my hands, reiterating the point he wasn't going to let me go.
"I can't believe we both thought this about each other"
"It's a little bit crazy. Just like us I guess" I giggle. Roger looks at me affectionately a smug smile playing on his lips. He was up to something, I could feel it. He stroked my arm again, knowing it comforted me. I beamed widely at him, feeling good to finally have nearly everything off my chest. Beside Chrystal.
"So what do you have planned today?" Roger asked
"I have something very special I need to sew, I can promise you will like it" I smirked back confidently
"I'll hold you to that Evelyn" Roger smirked back standing up and opening the door to leave
"Goodbye Lover Boy" Roger scoffed shaking his head and laughing
"Goodbye darling" He blew a kiss and gently closed the door behind him
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I almost leapt off the bed as soon as Roger left. I ran to my drawer and rustled around looking for a sketch I had drawn up when I was alone and Rog was at band practice. A design I knew he was going to love. I found the slightly crumbled piece of paper and smoothed it out gently, my fingers dancing softly over the white sheet. I padded out of Roger's room and to the main living space where all my sewing stuff was and quickly placed a Queen record on the turntable. I was so lucky, for this tour Freddie had requested I had 'simply the best of the best' so I had been provided with a huge budget and was making a fair amount of cash. Focusing back on my sewing I pulled out a long piece of ruby red sequined fabric, Roger had told me before he loved me in red. I carefully began to cut up the fabric, although it was tricky to work with I knew I could do it. I started up the sewing machine the soft whir echoing in the small room.
I must have worked solidly for two hours, cutting, sewing, stitching so it would hug me just right. By the time I was done I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. In front of me lay a sparkling deep red dress beckoning to be tried on. I knew Roger was at practice now and wouldn't call for at least another 20 minutes. I happily danced off to the nearby mirror Queen still gently crackling in the background. I slipped one of Roger's large shirts from over my head and pulled on the dress, quickly running to get my infamous pair of killer black heels. I looked in the mirror proudly at what I had created. The dress clung to my chest and was fitted tightly, accentuating my waist. It then came down to about midway of my thighs. I was never big on showing off my legs so I knew this would drive Roger crazy. At front there was a dramatic plunge in the neckline, enough for me to show off quite a lot of cleavage. I smiled happily, parading about in my newly created outfit. I looked at my watch again
shit. 15 minutes until the practice was over
I tottered to the mirror in our room where my makeup and Roger's hair products sat. I cleanly swept on a clean, light layer of foundation. Quickly dusting on some blush and bronzer. I lined my eyes with a brown eyeliner and then followed up with a quick and well practiced cat eye. Lightly filling in my brows and putting on a few swipes of mascara. IÂ dug out a dark red lipstick and lined my plump lips carefully before swiping it over my lips. Loving the colour it gave them. My hair was already tumbling down my back, swaying gently. I left it natural, knowing Roger loved it. A few seconds later I heard a musical rap on the door, I glanced quickly at myself in the mirror. I smiled at my good work and went to answer the door.
"HOLY SHIT. Darling Roger is going to drop dead when he sees you. Good god, you ARE trying to kill that man" My cheeks turned a scarlet red as I felt suddenly very exposed. Freddie stood at the door beaming up at me. He was dressed smartly in a floral jacket.
"You look wonderful darling" Freddie smiled reassuringly "Mr Meddows has sent me to escort you. He has a little surprise in store" Freddie winked at me offering me his arm, I happily linked mine through it. Freddie was one of my best friends and I loved how devoted he was to helping Roger and I. We walked for a short while until we reached the studio I knew the boys had been practicing in. Roger and I had been in together briefly, but he had been pretty desperate to get back to get back to the bedroom. From what I remember it had been a pretty boring plain white industrial room that had the boy's instruments in it. Freddie let go of my arm and dramatically opened the door wide for me. Oh my god. The boys had decorated the studio with a black velvet black drop and fairy lights twinkled around the top of the room. The light was dim apart from the soft stage lights shining on to the boys instruments. I gasped audibly, my hands flying up in disbelief. Brian, John and Roger were standing huddled in a group. Brain and John were facing me so immediately caught sight of me. Roger turned around and met my eyes, he looked as though he might pass out. His eyes looked me up and down multiple times, soaking in the image of me. His mouth was slack but moved slightly as if he was trying to form words. I giggled a little at his reaction, loving I had that effect on him. He stood there as if in a trance. It was John who spoke coughing slightly to cover up his laughter
"Roger I believe you had something you wanted to say" Rog looked at him momentarily snapping out of whatever state he was in.
"Yeah. Hey Evie, you look beautiful" he paused his arms signalling to the room
"Welcome to a private showing of Queen" I smiled touched by the effort they had all gone to. Freddie came up behind me and softly guided me to my seat, the only seat. He then picked up a microphone and smiled right at me
"Hello all you beautiful people" he boomed making me laugh. He made his way to the piano and sat down. I noticed all the boys quickly fine tuning their instruments. Roger sat up behind his drums, fiddling with his drumstick and looking extremely nervous.
"Now we would like to play a special and rather beautiful song. It was written by our own very special Roger Meddows Taylor or 'Loverboy' as he is more commonly known to some people" Freddie said shooting me a wink. My breath was caught as I realised the band were about to play me one of Roger's songs, something I had never heard before
"I believe this song is dedicated to a very special lady, who is in fact here tonight. The one and only, beautiful Evelyn Lily this one is for you"
"I can dim the lights and sing you songs full of sad things
We can do the tango just for two
I can serenade and gently play on your heart strings
Be your Valentino just for you.."
The boys began to play, a beautiful serenade that captured my heart. About half way through the song Roger came in, he sang unlike I had ever heard anyone sing before. His voice was rough and a little raspy, it turned me on to say the least. They finished the song with a flourish and I was left in bewilderment. I was overwhelmed as I stood up and clapped quickly and as loudly as possible. The boys were all beaming at me, clearly proud of the reaction they had gotten from me. I pulled them all quickly in to one big messy group hug. After we all broke apart the boys quickly sauntered off and left Roger and I alone, he grabbed my arms and pulled me in to a deep and meaningful kiss. Our tongues dancing in the glittering light of the studio. He pulled away from me
"Thank You Roger" I paused breathing deeply "The song was beautiful" He looked at me wistful and happy
"The song, it was based on our first date you know" He said laughing a little embarrassed "did you really like it? or are you just saying that"
"I can safely say, its my favourite song" I said leaning up and kissing him again
"I loved it Roger honestly, but maybe not as much as you love me in this dress" I kissed him again. This time I dominated the kiss more aggressively, his was tongue fighting with mine. His hands roughly curved around my waist and pulled me closer to him. He detached from my lips a string of saliva following him as he placed trailing kisses on my neck. Before speaking breathlessly
"You look beautiful tonight Evie. Truly beautiful" Then he stopped, slowing down and coming back up to tower above me once again.
"I am so lucky to have you, but I don't want you to think I just want sex from you" he paused looking me up and down "You look absolutely incredible tonight Evie, I love you so much"
"I love you so much too Roger"
"You are really doing something to me Evelyn Lily" Roger said smiling down at me and gently pulling me back in to another loving kiss.
