CLOSED STARTER who: @rowan-dashner where: Gemma's trailer at the Nashville fair
After I Can See You dropped, she wasn't exactly surprised to receive multiple calls and texts from Rowan about it. It wasn't like anyone would find them out- she'd been extra careful in her lyrics to not leave any clues - she knew her fans were fucking detectives, and she didn't need that story coming out right now. Even more than that, she knew Rowan didn't need that coming out, and even though she'd literally been sleeping with him for the entire first leg of her tour, she didn't want his marriage to break up, especially not because of a sexy single she wrote at 3AM once.
Despite the fact that she was on break, she'd been scheduled to perform at the fair, of course, thanks to her label. Gemma, ever careful, would've preferred if they could've met up at her house or somewhere else, but she didn't want to drop that single and then deny him the opportunity to talk to her, so she'd texted him to come to her trailer, knowing there were no watchful fans who would be back there, and anyway, all the trailers basically looked the same, it wasn't like anyone would pick up on it- she hoped. She'd returned to her trailer after she'd gotten her glam done, although she was still clad in sweats because she had time until she had to go onstage.
Try as she might, she couldn't ignore the flipping of her stomach as she thought about seeing him again for the first time since they'd come home. She tried to focus on the present, for the performance, but her thoughts kept creeping back to all the nights they'd spent together - his hand pushing the strap of her shirt down, her hand pressing her room key into his palm. Jesus, she had to get it together before he showed up. She snatched her phone off the vanity to text him, typing out a quick "Hey, I'm back in my trailer, come whenever. I don't go on until 7:30."
