Twirl and Dip (WIP) Drake’s POV

Drake closed the door to his dressing room and locked it. He leaned against the wood with a sigh of relief. The band didn’t need to be on stage yet, and he needed a break from the screaming crowd and the pawing at him as if they’d like to take a bite out of him. The threat couldn’t be any less real than if he were in a zombie-fest-filled-world where the masses came after him with intent to either rip off his jacket, yank a piece of his hair, or take anything else they wanted from him. 

He strode over to the makeup counter with a large square mirror for the backdrop and plopped down in the seat in front of it. It was still littered with foundation, eyeliner, and moisturizers his makeup artist used on him. To the right, there were his requested items. A jar was full of waffle cones sliced in triangles like they were chips ready for dipping, a pack of peppermint gum, 12 soda bottles, 48 bottled water, room temperature, and 3 turkey sandwiches wrapped in plastic. When the band finally made it big, his manager asked him and the guys for their dressing-room demands. He had no idea what he wanted, but what he stared at in front of him now had been the hastily written down list he’d handed over, and the items were delivered to his dressing room at each venue they performed. He reached for the jar of the waffle cones and unscrewed the lid, lifting it to his nose as he closed his eyes and inhaled. Lavender was supposed to be the scent to soothe and calm, at least according to his masseuse, but sweet sugary vanilla did the trick for him.

Possible Blurb:

Eastyn has her soda shop to run and specialty ice creams to create. Only the place is falling apart, and she may have a haunted jukebox that chooses songs to communicate. If things couldn’t get any more complicated, Drake, her ex-fiancé, returns home after five years on the road with his rock band, Never Mind the Damage. 

Eastyn vows not to fall for Drake’s charms again, but when you have a lifetime of memories with the man, the heart seems not to care about pledges. Her haunted jukebox believes choosing the right song to twirl and dip to is the answer to everything. However, Eastyn isn’t convinced. She wants to know if Drake is home for good, or will he break her heart all over again?
