performance | lucy gray baird
idk why I'm in such a phase and I debated posting this and just writing for indulgence because it's different from what I usually write but if you see this then I probably posted it with my eyes closed 😓
yknow what this is my birthday special so no one can judge me ALRIGHT.
you had her pushed against the wall outside the hob just out of view from anyone else walking by. the blind spot some people knew where to find you two but not enough insignificant people would know.
both of your lipsticks were smudged making a pretty swirl on both of yours lips. you had dragged her back here giggling before she had the chance to go straight on stage.
she was reluctant at first but it didn't take long to persuade her. It wasnt like anyone needed her right now anyway?
you kissed her up the wall biting her lip every so often and adjusting the shoulders of her dress after being wrinkled together by your hands every few seconds.
she kissed back with just as much ferocity if not more, rubbing her hands up and down your torso stopping more vivid around your hips.
she pushed her knee in between your thighs softly and you lean in the littlest you can in the already close space. you tried not to play with her hair as not to mess it up but you couldn't help yourself.
your hands reach up to play at the nape of her neck tugging softly to hear a small sound. she pulled away as if she got reminded of where she was by the tug. "your going to watch me perform tonight?"
"of course I'll be watching you perform tonight" you say as you curl one of her curls around your finger. "I wouldn't miss it for anything" looking her in the face as you bite the tip of the curl teasingly.
she pulls it back with a laugh and you both go into a laughing fit. as you quiet down you add "I'll try to be in a place where you can see me or I'll wave or something" watching her face for a reaction.
she pulls away to get a flower off the bush beside our feet and tucks it in the little space between your ear and hairline. "there's no need for that I'll find you no matter what"
her statement pulls a cheesy grin out of you and your heart melts. without a word you make sure the flower is secure and start puckering kisses all over her face.
a few across her forehead. three on each of her cheeks. one on the tip of her nose and between her eyebrows. one on each temple. and a few too many around her mouth.
when she laughed you paid extra attention to the small dimple that only pops out when making specific faces. and as you pulled away you could see the taint of lipstick left on her face.
"uh oh" bad idea for someone who was about to go perform, on stage, with lighting. it was faint though! and looked as if it could be rubbed off without messing up the rest of her face.
you delicately pushed your fingers to massage in between her eyebrows, hoping to get rid of it. and when it rubbed off easily within a few seconds you let out a big sigh you didn't even know you were holding.
she didn't look like she minded though, her face was too blissed out to tell. and honestly she looks like a person with no cares in the world right now.
"you guys! we need you on stage lucy gray!" maude suddenly came circling around the corner as I assumed it was finally her turn up.
"sorry! I'll get her there" you push her behind you a sliver trying to conceal her face while motioning maude off with your hand. she nodded and left with a giggle and her hand on her mouth.
you let out another huge sigh and this time lucy gray laughed at it. "y'gonna fix me up?" she asked and you nodded obviously.
you continued rubbing out the lipstick marks trying to be quick but gentle at the same time, which wasn't working. you were either too gentle or too quick which gave no room for the other.
but it did work eventually because I was finished in about a minute and ushered her out of the corner. I looked back out of habit and spotted something she forgot.
"can't leave without this can you?" you bend down and pick up one of the same flowers in your hair and tuck it on the same side as yours is on.
she caresses it for a bit, pondering if maybe she didn't have to preform tonight. maybe you guys could stay here or even go back home.
but then she remember maude knows she's here as well as everyone else so then it would be hard to explain. she also didn't want to leave them alone with a rowdy crowd but it was a good idea in her head.
she shakes the thought out of her head and grabs your hand after you tuck it into her hair. she kisses your knuckles to show her love and smiles at the release of color onto your hand.
"thank you my love, I'll see you in there" and with that she rushed away, gone through this many times before knowing you both prefer it this way as to not get harassed.
when you walked in later she was already preforming and just like she said, her eyes immediately found yours with a wink.
happy birthday to me!!! 🥹
