Taking Chances

Chapter 5

It's two weeks later and the tour is finally beginning. Tonight is my first night performing in front of a live crowd. I have my long, brown hair out of my face in a french braid to the side with the rest in a low bun. My palms are sweating from my nerves. I'm shaking and breathing deeply when BG comes up to me. "Yer gonna rock it, darlin'. Juss have some fun wit it. Dat's what I do," he tells me before giving me a big hug and kissing my forehead. "Thanks BG," I tell him before making my way on stage.

"Hey how y'all doin' New York Cityyy?!" I ask in the microphone. "Who's excited to see some, Lee Brice tonight?" good amount of cheers. "Who's ready to see some sexy bad boy, Brantley Gilbert?!" I yell and the ladies go wild. I grin and laugh. "Alright alright. How about some LUKE BRYAN?!" I yell out. The crowd goes nuts screaming and cheering. "Okay well I gotta question for all my ladies in the house," I pause as they hoot and holler. "How many of y'all ever had a guy cheat on ya?" I ask them as they scream. "How many of y'all got some revenge?" I ask and again they cheer. "Well Miss Carrie Underwood has some great tips on getting even," I tell them before the band starts playing the music for 'Before He Cheats'.

I strut around the stage as I sing and I see the dancers doing their thing. I hold the microphone out for the ladies to help me sing the chorus. The crowd is wild and loving this song. I'm so pumped up from their reaction.

"Well it sounds like all y'all ladies got some ideas from Carrie," I tell them with a laugh and a grin. "Now this next song, I heard a few weeks ago and I can't help but to sing it every time I hear it. How many of you gentleman like a lady with some curves?" I ask as I slide my hand down my body, over my curves. The guys whistle and cheer. "That's what I thought. So I got a song for all them skinny bitches out there who think they're all that," I tell them while the band starts the music for 'All About That Bass'.

The male dancers are dancing around us ladies as we shake our junk.

"I'm bringing booty back, 

Go ahead and tell them skinny bitches that

No I'm just playing. I know you think you're fat

But I'm here to tell ya

Every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top

I finish singing as the ladies are cheering. While I was singing I could say a bunch of ladies grooving out to the song, having a good time. That's what I like to see.

"Now how many of you lovely ladies has ever broken up with a guy and realized, 'Hmm maybe I shouldn't have done that?' especially when you see him with some new skank? Thank you Cher Llyod for this lovely tune," I say into the microphone before 'I Want You Back' begins.

After I give Lee a big introduction, he hugs me and I jog backstage. "Great job, baby girl. They were lovin' you!" BG tells me with a big hug. I thank him and squeeze him back. I tell him I'm gonna go shower, take Sy for a walk and I'll be back when he hits the stage, after Lee.

After my shower, I attach Sy's leesh and we head off the bus. Luckily my pain meds have kicked in so my cramps are now a dull pain. After Sy does his business, I walk him backstage so he can watch his daddy perform.

When we get there, Lee is just finishing up 'I Don't Dance' which I absolutely love. "I love this song," I say to BG as I sway back and forth. "You and every other woman, baby girl," he tells me with a laugh. He kneels down,"Now Sy, you keep Lexy outta trouble. Make sure to bite any other jerks that try to come near her. That's mah boy," he tells him with a pat on the head.
