Free Music Notes (Heartbeat #3) by Renee Lee Fisher

okay.
    “Well Love, I have to run and attend a party for a bit, but know I’m definitely not going to hang there long. I am spent physically and need to crash. I will phone you once I am lying down, so you can put a smile on my face and take my worries away until I fall off to sleep.” I winced again at a stab in my back.
    “I love you. I will wait for your call.”
    “It won’t be long, because I am getting excited just hearing your voice coming through my phone. I just miss your touch.” I bent over to stretch the muscles in my back. “Mwah!” I blew out a kiss to her as I shut my phone.
    “Oh, that was so cute. You are quite the romantic Rand, and I never pegged you for that. Many girls that knew you before you were married have said you were heartless.” Meila appeared in the hallway. She reached out to place her arm in mine to walk to the after party. I pulled my arm immediately from her. The only arm mine is going to be entwined with is Madison’s. It seemed to strike an instant cord of distaste with her but then she quickly changed her attitude and I could see her now smiling proudly, which seemed very fake to me.
    The after party rocked as all the guys were pumped from the performance. They are really glad to be back out playing gigs even if it wasn’t like before as Rolling Isaacs. These guys are my family. They never make me feel uneasy for taking the spotlight and doing my own music. I did leave the party rather early, but mainly because I wanted to get back to the hotel. I stopped at a convenience store first to get some pain medication for my back. I knew I could rest and hopefully feel like new in the morning. I would feel even better if I could coax Madison into some hot phone sex. Lately she was surprising me with so many bold moves.
    Last night’s show was pretty awesome I was going over it in my head that I was now the main act. It still felt strange to me but I was really enjoying performing all the music I have written. As I usually slept in late each morning, today I awoke relaxed and decided to make my way to catch up with the guys for some food. As I entered the hotel’s dining room everyone was already seated and of course I was the last to arrive. “Hey look who’s awake, and got his beauty sleep” Isaac called out.
    “Yeah, yeah save your comments, I’m joining you all because I’m actually really hungry,” I tossed back at him. As my eyes began to scan the table only one seat is unoccupied and that was next to Meila. I thought for a moment and then said to myself this will be fine, it’s breakfast with everyone.
    As I approached the chair I see her lips expand in a large smile. “Morning Rand,” she sweetly says and I just nodded back. As everyone started to plow through the pastries on the table, I couldn’t stop looking at a sweet crumb left on Meila’s chin. I pointed to my lips and swiped them for her to know that she had something on her face. All of the sudden Meila was coming in way to close to my face and said, “See all you had to do is make the first move Rand.”
    I pushed my chair back and questioned her, “What do you think you’re doing? I was just trying to let you know you had a piece of your breakfast below your lip.”
    “Oh, Rand I thought you were tapping those alluring lips of yours for a morning kiss.” Meila kept smiling.
    “No Meila, I save that for my wife and her only.” With that her smile turned to a frown and she sat back in her chair. It seemed quite awhile passed and our breakfast order still hadn’t come to the table. Several times Meila’s leg bumped up against mine. I could be just hyper sensitive around her, but I didn’t believe it was just a coincidence.
    To pass the time and not have to talk to Meila, I struck up a conversation with her band mates, Jesse, Poke and Shane. They all seemed nice enough. I found out two of them were brothers, Jesse and Wes. Wes used his nickname, Poke, and since that was such an unusual name, I had
