The first show had been amazing, colorful, dazzling, sparkling and exciting in every sense of it. The staff and other organizer and team and crew had VIP passes to the backstage. Julie was in deed in awe of the amazing performances the boy had put on. She fell in love again just seeing him performing on the stage. His stage presence was admirable. From their dances, and songs and solo performances, they were totally killing it. She had wanted jennie to see what her father really looked like even for once. She had gotten tickets for them, because this might be the first and last time as they were going to leave CA soon to other states and cities to continue their world tour.
She got them regular seat tickets, to avoid any run ins. They had arrived at the same time, but had separated after getting down from the car. She headed back stage while they went to secure their seats.
She was grateful to the tour crew for making the stage so glittery and spectacular. She watched the boys rehearse again before the show started in about two hours. Their costume had already arrived. She let out a sigh of relief, after all these months of hard work, they were finally kicking off tour.
The show had been finished in exactly two hours. The time even felt a little short. She had organized tours before but this one was really special. She had almost teared up as she had watched him perform his solo ‘ love me more’
The tone, the voice, the words, it was really an amazing song and was being performed by an amazing artist.
Next stop was Seattle,and Climate pledge arena the venue for the show was already sold out. They were spending three days in Seattle as they had three shows there. The selected crew members were flying to Seattle with them. And Mendy had been appointed as extra stylist to go with them.
Julie had packed up and left home, even though she had felt bad about leaving her daughter behind.
 
She  had been booked in to the same hotel with the boys as well as some other tour crew members. And some of the managers were also in the same hotel. Unfortunately, mendy and julie were booked in to different hotels as there was no more accommodation space.
The show in Seattle was great as had been the previous shows. The tour Dj was also incredibly awesome at his job. They had completed the show in Seattle. Next stop was Denver. Two amazing nights in Denver and they moved again. They performed at oracle park in San Francisco and Allegiant stadium  Las Vegas. They also performed at Philadelphia and had two amazing nights in Atlanta. News of their performance was all over the place and people were loving the show as much as their wardrobe choices. They were in deed fashion icons plus Julie trusted Mendy to always do a good job.
They were traveling and giving amazing performances as well as having fun. Last stop for North America was Mexico. When the show was over, the crew had a mini get together to celebrate the milestone reached. They had about ten shows in South America before they headed to Europe. Five nights in Brazil and five in Buenos Aires.
The night of the last show at Buenos Aires, the production crew had had a mini get together. Julie being julie was not one for too much social interaction. So before she got herself drunk, she decided to go back to her hotel room. She left Mendy and the others. She left the hotel’s restaurant, which they had rented out for the team dinner. When she got in the elevator, about to press her floor button, she saw justin approaching. For a moment, she stared at him wondering where he was going. She swallowed hard when she saw he was headed for the elevator . she waited for him. She pressed the button when he had entered. None of them said anything to the other. While she stood very close to the door, he stood behind her leaning on the elevator wall.
She had turned to see what he was doing as the elevator was loudly silent. He was looking at her. Maybe the alcohol was hitting her a little but she stared back. When the doors opened, she gave him one last look before she got out. Coincidentally she was the only external staff on that floor with them. The other rooms were occupied by MID managers and staff. She was walking slowly as if she was counting her steps. He followed her keeping a reasonable distance. Twice she looked back at him and on each occasion he had met her curious inviting eyes. She finally made it to her door. She unlocked the door and opened it. She turned to face him as he slowly approached, her hands on the door knob.
‘ this is me’ she said a bit shakily. The way he looked at her made her weak, standing there in his hoodie, she thought he looked adorable.
‘ do you want to come in?’ she asked.
He looked at her as if to be sure he had heard her well.
He did not say anything so she took it as a no. She opened the door wide enough and entered her room.  Just as she was about to close the door, she saw his hand hold the door from completely closing. She opened the door again, and he moved past her in to the room. She was surprised. She locked the door after checking outside to see what had made him rush in. She stood by the door, watching and wondering. He turned then to look at her. She clearly had not invited him initially for coffee or tea, or to chit chat. She wanted him and he wanted her. They were in each other’s arms before they knew it.
She knew then that he was a different person, a more matured version of himself after he had put her down on the bed and extracted a contraceptive from his wallet.
When they were done, he had left after about a minute’s rest. She watched him get dressed and leave the room, without even looking back at her. She must be going crazy, but she could not help herself. She was risking it all,and yet she was more worried about him. His entire would be ruined if this ever got out. She was older and so she should know better. What was she doing she asked herself. This was the last time she decided. Well, things were easier said than done.
