The Big Move/ First Concert In LA(Edited With Grammarly)
Lana's POV:
As I packed up the last of my boxes into the moving truck in Tampa Florida, I took one last look at my house, then my neighbor's house Anth Melo, he was on the porch with his niece,
"Good luck Lana!!!!" he called out to me, smiling and waving.
"Thanks! Keep in touch!" I called back smiling.
I turned to the realtor who had already sold my house, she handed me a check and I handed her the keys,
"Thank you," I smiled.
"You're welcome," she replied before walking away.
I took one last look at the house, then Anth's before I got into my truck, I started it and began to pull away, the moving truck followed me, I was ready to start my life in LA, my best friend Gloria had already left for LA the day before, we were set to meet at the new house, I was excited to get away from Florida and begin a new life, I turned on my iPod and hit my playlist quickly at a red light, I Mean It by G-Eazy began to play, I instantly begin to rap along. I started the journey of a 43-hour drive. By the time I hit Tallahassee I had to refuel, I also grabbed something to snack on and a coffee, after filling up and snacking, I hit the road again, when we hit Louisiana I had to fuel up again, I was exhausted so we pulled off and rented a hotel room for the night, the moving guys slept in a room themselves that I paid for, but only because they filled my tank this time and paid for dinner, I showered and fell onto the bed and passed out.
The Next Day......
We woke up early, grabbed some breakfast then hit the road again, we had to refuel when we hit Texas, after that we drove through New Mexico and Arizona refueling when needed, we spent a night in Arizona, slept for a few hours then hit the road again, after all the driving we did we finally cross into California, I smile big driving, after a few more hours we finally enter LA, the place where everyone comes to get famous, I was ready, I went to the best college I could in Florida for acting. I had also already spent some time in LA during college, so being back out here defiantly felt like home already, I finally pulled onto my new street Echo Park Ave, in Echo Park California, I drove about 5 minutes down the road, then pulled into a long driveway that led to a huge house number 56, the house was tan, has a two car attached garage, 5 bedrooms, a basement, an attic and a huge backyard with an in-ground pool. Sounds expensive huh? Trust me it was, but money wasn't an issue, I had an inheritance from my grandma who just passed, she left me a note telling me to go live my dreams in LA, I miss her a lot, but I'm finally in my new home, my new life was about to begin the moment I unpacked all my boxes. I parked and shut off my truck getting out, the movers got out of their truck and opened the back, my best friend came running out,
"YOU'RE FINALLY HERE!!!" she screamed laughing.
I pulled her into a big hug, "Yeah I know, when did you get here?"
"Yesterday," Gloria smiles.
I smile back, "Well now, we can party!"
She laughs, "Uh yeah, the first order of business, I got us full access passes to the G-Eazy concert, and I got us the ones that let us party with him before and after the show!!!"
I looked at her in aw, I was speechless, she knew he was my absolute favorite rapper alongside NF, I swear I stood silent for at least a good 10 minutes before responding,
"HOLY FUCK! YOU'RE THE BEST FRIEND EVER!" I screamed before I ran at her, hugged her tightly and laughed.
She hugged me back, laughing, "I know I am can you just say that one more time? Please?"
I laughed, "You're the best friend ever!"
She laughed hard smiling at me, "Okay."
The moving guys began to unpack the truck and bringing stuff into the new house, we told them where to put what as we unpacked my truck. It took us a few hours to unpack all the moving truck and my trucks boxes, I paid the mover's a good amount for the trip, and some extra for a tip. Let's just say I gave them enough to get home, give their boss the money for the move and have extra to split between the 3 of them,
"Thank you, Lana, it was a pleasure to travel with you!" The guys said to me.
"You're welcome guys, it was a nice trip here, thank you for taking the trip," I reply back.
They smile at me, "You're welcome."
Then they get into their moving truck and head out, heading back to Florida, I turned to my best friend smiling,
"Soooo shopping? I need a hot outfit for tonight," I smiled.
Gloria's face lit up, "YES! Let's go! I'll drive!"
She takes my keys, dropping them into my purse, then grabs my hand and drags me to her car, when we get into her Chevy Malibu, as we do my cell starts ringing, You Make Me by Anth and Conor Maynard is playing, I look down at the screen, seeing Conor's name at the top and a picture of him and I. I pick up my phone,
"Hey!"
I can hear the smile in Conor's voice, "Hey darling how are you? Did you make it to Cali yet?"
Then I hear Anth in the background, "Lana I miss you!"
I start laughing, "Tell him I miss him too and yes I got here like 2 hours ago, took us a while to unpack the trucks and get the boxes in the right places, I still have to unpack, but I'm heading out to go shopping right now for a new outfit Gloria got us tickets to G-Eazy tonight!"
"Wow, she's an awesome friend huh?" Conor says, and then says to Anth, "She misses you too and she's going to see G-Eazy tonight."
Gloria begins to drive towards Los Angeles Mall, it was a 10-minute drive from home, she parked, and we got out and headed into the mall. We walked around until we found the perfect store to buy a dress at, I looked around for 20 minutes until I found this black dress that had spaghetti straps, I tried it on and it hugged my curves perfectly, I smiled and turned around for Gloria who was wearing a strapless purple dress,
"Okay, I'd fuck you if I was a guy!"
I couldn't keep a straight face as I replied, "Oh stop it! I am not that good looking!"
She laughed, "Yeah right, you're model material, you've been offered plenty of shoots and won't do it, why? You have the body!"
I laughed back, "Because I can just post pictures and get tons of likes on Instagram."
"True, you are great at taking pictures and you always look so amazing in them," she smiled, "G-Eazy is going to notice you, I hope you know he follows you on Instagram, have you been on today?"
"Uh no, I haven't, since when?" I asked pulling out my phone; I see a new follower notification,
G-Eazy is now following you on Instagram!
My mouth dropped open, "Holy fuck! This is a joke right?"
Gloria busted out laughing hard, falling to the ground, "No it's really not, that is really him, he is following me too, and he messaged me as well."
I looked at her, "How did you really get those tickets?"
She smiled evilly at me, "When he messaged me yesterday, I might have told him you were a huge fan and that your birthday is coming up in a few weeks, that you're going to be 24, so he asked for our address and he dropped these off about an hour before you got to LA."
My mouth fell open again, "How the fuck, holy shit, fucking....."
I just couldn't form words, so I opened Instagram, pulled Gloria in and snapped a picture of us, Gloria had her arm around my shoulder, I had mine around her's as well smiling big, putting the caption as Sneak Peek of our outfits for the night, now we're off to pick out the perfect shoes!
I posted the picture, I also took a picture of just myself, sticking my tongue out, showing off the whole dress, I posted that one in my story, then I walked back into the changing room and started to undress, my cell dinged with a notification from Instagram, I picked it up,
G-Eazy has sent you a DM!
G-Eazy has commented on your post!
I opened it,
Hey Lana! I just wanted to say you look stunning and I can't wait to meet you tonight! Come early, around say 1 pm? Don't eat; I'll treat your girls to lunch!
I smiled, my face turning red as I replied back to him,
Hey G-Eazy! Sounds good! I will pass along the message to Gloria! See you in an hour! Where would you like to meet?
Then I opened the comment from him,
Looking stunning! Perfect dress, can't wait to see the whole outfit later on at my show!
I got dressed and put my new dress on its hanger, then walked out of the dressing room, Gloria looked at me as my phone went off again, I opened the message,
Firefly, I know it's like a half hour from where you guys are, Gloria told me you guys were going to the mall, see you at 1.
I looked at Gloria and smiled, "Let's go get shoes then we have a half hour drive to lunch with G-Eazy."
She smiled back, "Awesome let's go!"
I answer him back,
You got it G!
See you then Lana!
I put my phone away and we went and found heels, then we headed to Firefly, it took us a half hour with traffic to get there, we parked and got out of the car, I saw a group of people with their camera's out snapping pictures of someone, I assumed it was G-Eazy. We walked up the restaurant, when we got to the group of people, I instantly spoke,
"Excuse me."
Then I heard G-Eazy's voice, "Let them through, they are with me!"
Then the crowd parted and pointed their camera's at Gloria and I, snapping pictures, I looked at Gloria then G-Eazy, we locked eyes and my breath caught in my throat for a moment, we started to walk towards him, when we got to him, he held out his hand, I gave him mine, he kissed my hand and smiled,
"You must be Lana; you're more gorgeous than your pictures and Gloria's description."
"I am, thank you, you're more handsome than your pictures," I replied back before I could stop myself.
G-Eazy let out a chuckle, my heart skip a few beats, the sound of his voice was amazing, and his music helped me through a lot of hell as did NF's. Gloria always said I could be a singer or an actress, I was good at hiding emotions when I wanted too and she says I have the voice of an angel, I say I suck.
"Let's go inside," G-Eazy says smiling.
Gloria replies, "Sounds good."
I don't say anything, I just follow them, my phone chimes with a reminder appointment for 3 pm for a tattoo, and I look at it, then Gloria,
"3 I have to go somewhere, so I'll meet you at the show okay?" I say to her.
She didn't know about the appointment, I didn't tell anyone, I had made it last night, "Okay, that's fine," she replied.
G-Eazy watches me as I put my phone away, we all sit at a table together, he sits across from me and Gloria sits next to me, the waiter gives us all menus,
"Can I start you guys off with some drinks?" He asks.
G-Eazy nods at the waiter, "Yes, I'll have a coke."
Gloria looks at the waiter, "I'll have the same."
The waiter looks at me, "And for you miss?"
I look back at him, "Water please."
He smiled at me, "Alright you got it, I'll be back with your drinks."
G-Eazy looks at us, "So where are you from?"
Gloria smiles, "Florida, well I am at least."
G-Eazy looks at me next, "And where are you from?"
"Oakland, California," I reply, "I spent some time in New Orleans, then moved to Florida where I finally meet up with Gloria, I spent a lot of my childhood with her family."
He smiles, "I'm also from Oakland, and I also spent time in New Orleans, how old are you?"
I look back at him, "23, I turn 24 in about 2 weeks."
"That's awesome, maybe we can meet and have a drink together," he smiles more.
"That would be cool," I reply back with a smile.
The waiter comes back with our drinks a few minutes later; he also takes our order as well. About 10 minutes later our food arrives, we eat and talk about ourselves, really get to know each other honestly it was really cool. When we finished it was 2:30 and I had to go, so I wouldn't be late for my tattoo appointment, Gloria left before I did, as I was pulling out my phone to order an Uber, G-Eazy spoke,
"Need a ride so you're not late?" he asks me.
I look at him, "Sure that would be cool."
He smiles, which causes me to smile back, he steps towards me for a moment, "Your smile is beautiful, I don't understand how you can be single."
I smiled more and looked at him as we got into his car, "I have a hard time letting people in, I was screwed over badly by the last guy I dated, and so I've been single ever since."
He got in and started his car, "How long has it been?"
"3 years," I reply back.
"Can I know the story?" G-Eazy asks.
I looked at him, "I....fine."
I don't usually tell anyone about what I went through, Gloria is the only one besides Anth that knows what happened to me.
He looks back at me, "Are you sure?"
I nod and reply back, "Yes, by the way, I'm going to True Tattoo on N. Cahuenga Blvd."
He replies back, "Getting a tattoo?"
I nod, then I take a deep breath in and let it out before I begin, "I was in college when I met Daniel, things were amazing for the first 2 years, then it went south, I stuck around for a month while he abused drugs and booze, the moment he began to lay his hands on me, I fought back, he got arrested for a few months, then when he got out he stalked me for a year before the cops finally caught him, that's when I decided to go to Florida for good, I finished my classes there, I almost didn't graduate on time, I showed up in Florida covered in bruises and cuts, Gloria lost her marbles and wanted to kill him, I told her to just forget it ever happened, I had nightmares for the first year in Florida, my neighbor Anth would come over in the middle of the night and wake me up, then he would just sit with me until I fell back asleep. I lost myself for a while, I'm just slowly getting me back, I was dark and twisty for awhile, I wanted to die, do not exist, and please do me a favor don't tell Gloria about me wanting to die please, she worries too much about me, the reason I moved out here was so I could try to start over, this is a place no one knows me or what happened to me, I need this fresh start, I've lived in fear, looking over my shoulders for too long. This tattoo I'm getting has meaning behind it and I've faced some scary demons."
G-Eazy is silent for a moment, we were almost at the tattoo shop, "Holy shit, I'm sorry and I promise I won't tell her, secrets safe with me."
I take a deep breath in and out before I look at him, "Thank you, it means a lot, I have major trust issues too."
I look out the window as we pull up to the shop, he parks, shuts off his car, then gently puts his hand on my arm, I jump a little and look at him.
"I won't hurt you, and if someone does you tell me and I'll take care of him." he leans over and kisses me on the cheek.
I don't say anything for a moment, and then I reply back, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, want some company?" he asks.
I smile, "Sure."
We get out of his car together, I hear camera's clicking, G-Eazy ignores it and takes my hand, and we walk into True Tattoo together. I dig through my purse for a moment until I find the quote I wanted to get tattooed on me, I hand it to the guy,
"But Without the Dark, We'd Never See the Stars, that's beautiful, what's your name?" Garrett asks.
"Lana White," I replied.
"Awesome, come with me, where would you like this?" he asks.
I follow him, G-Eazy follows behind me, I think for a moment, "My left upper thigh," I decide.
"Okay, have a seat, take off your shorts, I'll be right back," Garrett says.
"Okay," I reply, then slide my shorts off, G-Eazy just stays silent, I can feel his eyes on me, I just smile to myself, I sit down on the chair and put my leg up, G-Eazy sits on the chair next to me.
"What made you pick that quote?" G-Eazy asks.
"It hits home, and because of my dark days I spent a lot of time staring at the stars and watching sunsets and sunrises," I reply back.
"Makes sense," he replies back as Garrett comes back.
"Ready?" Garrett asks.
"Yes, I am," I reply back.
Garrett begins to work on the tattoo, I try to hide the pain, G-Eazy takes my hand in his and gently squeezes it, and I look at him and smile. After an hour the tattoo was done and perfect, he covered it up and I went to pay for it, but G-Eazy stops me as soon as I have my wallet out, he pulls out a credit card and hands it to Garrett,
"I'll pay for her tattoo," he says with a smile.
"You didn't have to do that G," I replied.
"I wanted too, now give me your address so I can get you home to get ready for the show," he says smiling at me more.
"56 Echo Park Ave," I reply.
We leave the tattoo shop and head to my house, it takes about a half hour to get there, he pulls into my driveway, Gloria's car isn't there, my phone chimes,
Glor<3- I left your new outfit on the couch! See you at the show!
Me- Thanks Glo!!!!!
Glor<3- You're welcome!!!
I get out of G-Eazy's car, "Would you like to come in for a min?"
"Sure, we should make this quick, if you want you can grab your stuff and change at the show, you can use my dressing room," G-Eazy replies.
"Sure," I reply back and head towards my door.
He follows me into my house; he looks around, and says "This is nice."
"Thank you, Gloria and I found it and thought it was perfect, I came out here a week or so ago to check it out alone and arrange some stuff," I grab the bag with my dress and shoes.
"You're welcome, you got a good taste," he replies back.
I run upstairs really quickly and grab my curler and makeup bag, I put it into my purse and head back downstairs.
"Okay let's go," I smile at him.
"Alright," He smiles back at me.
We leave my house, I turn and lock the door, then drop my keys into my purse, I follow G-Eazy to his car, and we get in and head to the Staples Center, where his concert was taking place tonight. We pull up, get out and head backstage, G-Eazy leads us to his dressing room, and he opens the door and lets me in first,
"Go ahead, I'll make sure no one walks in on you thinking you're me," he looks at me smiling.
"Thank you," I smile back at him, and then he closes the door after saying,
"No problem."
I put my purse down, grab my cell and quickly text Gloria to tell her where I am, then I put my phone down and begin to get ready, I plug my curling iron in and let it heat up as I change into my outfit, after about 10 minutes its finally ready to be used, so I curl my hair, then I do my make-up. Once I finish I grab my cell and turn off my curling iron to let it cool down. I snap a picture of me in the floor length mirror and quickly post it to my Social Media with the #Backstage #DressingRoom. I pick up my purse and walk to the dressing room door and open it. G-Eazy turns around when I open the door, I watch him as his eyes look me over the head to toe, then he smiles,
"You look hot! Man, you're going to make all the guys jealous and wish you was theirs!"
I bite my lip and smile back, "Why thank you, but they don't stand a chance!"
That makes G-Eazy laugh a bit, "You're welcome and I can tell."
My phone chimes in my hand; I look down at it and open the text from Gloria,
Glor<3- I'm here!!!! Walking backstage now! BTW looking hot on Instagram!!!!
Me- You'll see us in a moment! Thank you!!!! <3
I look up as I hear Gloria whistle, I smile when I spot my best friend, she walks up to me and pulls me into a hug, whispering in my ear,
"Damn! G-Eazy will not stop staring at you; I think he could be interested!"
I give her my look, it's the look I give her when she says something she knows I was thinking, I whisper back,
"I don't know if I could get into another relationship Glo, the last ruined my life, I'm still jumpy and flinch when someone raises their hands too close to me."
Gloria looked at me and says, "You need to get back out there it's been 3 years, you can't swear off guys for good, especially if you have a chance at happiness. You need to take it."
I shake my head at her and say, "I need a cigarette."
I turn away from her and walk towards the doors, Gloria tries to follow me, "Glo I need to be alone okay?"
She looks at me then nods, "Okay are you good?"
"I'm fine," I say as I push open the door to outside.
I feel the heat hit my face, I dig through my purse and pull out the pack of smokes and a lighter, I light one up and take a long drag, I barely smoked, it usually happened when Gloria did her whole you need to get back out there thing, I get it I've pushed away every hot guy that's giving me the time of day for the past 3 years, I trust no one, I hate myself, and I have some scary demons wanting to come out and play, I stuff my emotions deep down and forget about them. I turn as I hear the door open, I see G-Eazy standing there, my eyes are empty and emotionless, our eyes lock and I see his eyes change from happiness to concern.
"Hey, are you okay?" He asks me.
I nod as I take a drag off my cig, "Yeah I'm fine."
I can tell he is not convinced, "You don't look fine, there are no emotions in your eyes and that is dangerous Lana," he says.
"I told you my story, I flinch when someone raises their hands to close to me, I jump at loud noises, I sometimes still look around like he is going to jump out and hurt me any second even though he is in a prison cell in Austin, Texas. I just, never mind I really don't want to talk about this anymore I'm sorry," I say back to him.
"It's okay you don't have too," G-Eazy says as he slowly moves closer to me.
"Thank you," I say.
"You're welcome Lana," he says as he holds out a hand to me, "Come on, put that out and come inside, my mom just got here I want you to meet her."
I look at him, take his hand, drop my cig and step on it, then we head inside together, holding hands, Gloria sees us holding hands, then women speak,
"Gerald, who is this lovely young lady? Is she your new girlfriend?"
My eyes widen a little, G-Eazy replies back,
"Ma this is Lana, no we just met today, if anything she is a new friend."
She leans in and whispers to G-Eazy, "You should ask her out son, she is beautiful."
I look at Gloria as they whisper, she smiles at me, I feel G-Eazy tighten his grip slightly, I want to say fuck my feelings and fears, I need to loosen up a bit, maybe this was meant to happen, I was meant to meet G-Eazy and be close to him. I let go of G-Eazy's hand and looked around for a moment, he looked at me, and I spotted the bathroom and grabbed Gloria's hand,
"Be right back."
G-Eazy smiles at me, "Okay meet us in my dressing room!"
I nod as I pull her into the bathroom; I lock the door and peek under the stalls to make sure we are alone before I turn back to Gloria and say,
"Glo, I'm ready."
Gloria smiles, "You need to do this, it will make you feel better, loosen up, you're hot and he is totally into you! Don't miss your chance, he is famous and there is going to be millions of hot girls here tonight, he seems to like you, you need pre-abuse, Lana, to come out tonight, if you are truly ready, you will be free. Don't hold back tonight."
I smile back and take a deep breath, I look in the mirror and smile again when I turn to Gloria and say,
"Let's do this!"
I pull out my cell and snap a picture of us, posting it to my Social Media with the #BestiesForLife #G-EazyConcertBackstage.
Then I unlock the bathroom door and walk out with Gloria, we walk towards G-Eazy's dressing room door and open it, we walk inside as everyone looks at us, my eyes find G-Eazy's within seconds, our eyes lock for a moment, I have to look away before I turn red, I feel a hand on my shoulder, I look up and it is G-Eazy's mom,
"Hey here, hit this, inhale the good shit and exhale the bullshit."
I put my purse next to my curling iron, then take the blunt from G's mom, I take a hit, then pass it, Gloria, I hold in the hit for a few before letting it out, we end up smoking a few blunts before the show is about to start, I was beginning to have some real fun. I pulled my phone out of my purse so I could take pictures and videos during the show, Gloria and I stood with his mom as he set up for the show,
"How old are you lovely young ladies?" Suzanne asks.
"I'm 23 I'll be 24 in about 2 weeks," I say.
"I'm also 23 I'll be 24 in 3 weeks," Gloria says to her.
"Ahhh lovely age, what do you do for a living?" she asks.
"I moved out here to pursue acting, I meet with an agent in a few days, I went to the best colleges I could, I spent some time here in Los Angeles in college and Florida where I was living before I came here," I smile at her and say.
"I'm out here for acting as well, I'm also out here for dance, I bought a dance studio out here, it's called Dreams Dance Studio," Gloria said smiling at Suzanne.
G-Eazy looked at me, "Acting huh? I would love to see it sometime."
Was he just hitting on me? I think to myself, I smile at him and say,
"I think I can arrange that, I'll give you my number," I say as I reach into my purse and grab my pad of paper and pen.
I write my name then my number down on the piece of paper, I tear it off and give it to G-Eazy, I smile and say,
"There now you can contact me whenever you would like."
Yep, there is the old fun Lana White, I'm back bitches watch out! I'm so pumped, after 3 years I can say I am somewhat confident that I can stay fun and loosen up tonight, this was my second chance at life finally being able to be where ever I would like, I have the money to travel anywhere, I forgot to mention at the beginning that I lost my Grandpa White, he left me a chunk of money that has nearly 24 years of interest added to it, he was a business owner. I think to myself as G-Eazy smiles at me then say,
"Oh, I intend to beautiful."
I smiled more at him and bite my lip, something I hadn't done in a long time but seemed to do around him a lot, it was a nervous thing, I had turned down so many guys over the last 3 years, that I forgot about how nervous guys made me when they flirted with me and hit on me.
"Can I just say I love your smile Lana," G-Eazy says as he looks me with a flash of something I couldn't detect in his eyes.
"Thank you," I say back to him as I move a strand of my curled hair out of my face and tuck it behind my ear.
"You're welcome," He replies back as he watches me and I see his eyes dart up and down, checking me out.
A guy comes over to us and clears his throat,
"I don't want to be rude, but G-Eazy is needed to get ready to go up on the stage now."
I smile as I look at the guy, "It's quite alright, he's all yours I'll be watching."
G-Eazy steps towards me for a moment and then he shocks me by wrapping his arms around me and kissing me on the cheek, he whispers in my ear,
"I'm going to show you what it's like to party with me later on, and you are going to see a whole new party angle."
I smile at him and lean close to him whispering back into his ear, my lip brushing it lightly, "Sounds like a plan to me, I can't wait, good luck!"I then kissed his cheek back smiling at him.
He smiled back then he turned and walked with the stage manager towards the stage to get himself ready to go on stage, Gloria and I follow Suzanne to where she stands, we go see it all so close, I pulled out my phone and readied it to record when it starts, this was amazing, I was going to post it everywhere, the whole concert, Gloria was recording the whole thing with a professional camera she used to use in high school, I stood next to her, shifting my weight back and forth in my heels on my feet, my phone chimed with a notification, I looked down at it and read it,
G-Eazy has tagged you in a post on Instagram!
I smiled to myself and swiped to unlock my cell, I put in my password and clicked on the notification opening Instagram on my cell phone, it was a photo of me, him, Suzanne and Gloria, the caption read, Hung out with these lovely ladies backstage before my show, now I'm getting ready to go on stage, as I do I think to myself who is sitting in the V.I.P section right now and I am pleased to say I can't wait until the after party with them. Also, I have a special surprise in store tonight, I hope they like it!
I double clicked to like the picture, I was the first one and I commented,
It was so fun hanging with you G! Can't wait until the after party too! (Kissy face emoji)
My phone chimed again,
G-Eazy- (Kissy face emoji).
I smiled at it, we were defiantly flirting with each other, I was happy for the first time in a while, I was on a roll and it felt great.
10 minutes later.....
The concert begins, he starts with No Limit, I sing along with Gloria and Suzanne as we record it, I watched him move around the stage and dance after he finishes that song he says something to the crowd,
"Okay so I am bringing someone special on stage tonight, someone new guys, I want you to welcome my new friend Lana White to the stage guys," he looks over at me as I stand there shocked.
I had my cell phone to Suzanne who offers to take it, smiling I look at her, mouthing Thank you, then I head onto the stage, I get handed a microphone on the way by, I walk out my heels clicking against the stage as I walked, I stopped and stood next to G-Eazy and faced him, he leaned in and whispered into my ear,
"Introduce yourself; we are going to do a song of your choice together."
I nodded and smiled at him, I brought the microphone to my mouth but not to close,
"Hello, Los Angeles! My name is Lana White, I just met G-Eazy today, and my best friend got us V.I.P all-access passes that usually, only celebs can afford for an early birthday gift since this is when he was in town."
G-Eazy smiles, "Okay Lana, so what song would you like to sing with me tonight?"
I think for a second I say as I look at him smiling as well, "The beautiful and the damned."
"Good choice, you ready?" he asks me looking at me.
"Yes, I am," I replied back to him.
The music begins, as it does I begin, "Ever seen a devil with a halo? Ever seen an angel with some horns? Everybody got their own demons, Everybody fightin' their own war, oh."
I move around the stage as G-Eazy does as he begins, "When you move as fast as I'm movin', All the toxic things that I'm using, All the substances I'm abusin', All the sex, and the drugs, and the boozin', The decision is mine for the choosin',"
He grabs my hand smiling as he raps, he spins me around, I smile as he pulls me close still rapping,
"But I can't understand what I'm losin', 'Cause I been this way it's not a new thing, I know a Gemini can be confusing, Split right down the middle like there's two of me, No hiding, I bare all nudity,"
He lets me go, as he dances still going,
"This is everything that comes with celebrity, Criticism, ridicule and the scrutiny, Think about what I spent on some jewelry, But it all comes back to me usually, And it's none of y'alls business truthfully, You don't know 'bout the fame, what it do to me, I'm talking to myself like every night, You could try to be a better guy,"
He raps, as I dance around the stage waiting for my part to come up,
"But to understand a Gemini, Angel, devil, it's both him and I, Demons in me they just multiply, If I don't kill 'em all, I never try, Life is short, and men lie, women lie, But a legend he could never die," he finishes as I begin.
"Ever seen a devil with a halo? (Yeah), Ever seen an angel with some horns? (y'know), Everybody got their own demons, Everybody fightin' their own war,"
I sing and then I go right into the next dancing next to G-Eazy,
"I can be an angel sometimes, I can be real fucked up, I miss you only sometimes, I give you real tough love, 'Cause I'm a devil with a halo, whoa-oh-oh," I finish up as he goes right into his next verse,
"Yeah, put the hours in, put the work in, Swear I try so hard to be perfect, But sometimes shit feels like a burden, 'Cause I still ain't shit but a person,"
He moves his hands as he raps the next line, "Switch lanes in the Porsche that I'm swervin', Tell myself slow down off the bourbon, "When you drive like that, it made me nervous", Not tonight, not closing the curtains, When I die, not trying to see hell, Feel like I'm headed that way in a V12."
He looks at me as he raps the next lines dancing close to me,
"And I just broke up with my female, On tour, had to do it by email, But that's all I'ma save you the detail, Therapy with a beat and a freestyle, Either way, live today, I'ma be well, 'Cause I never wanna let 'em see me fail, I'm talkin' to myself, "what's wrong with you? You should make some songs to turn up to,
Thinkin' too much like you usually do, 'Til you drink some liquor, then you're cool, Throw your brain away, that's all it takes, Dumb it down, but that's not what he makes, Then say fuck the sales, and fuck the 'biz, It's not that easy Gerald, nothing is".
I finish us off going strong,
"Ever seen a devil with a halo (yeah), Ever seen an angel with some horns (y'know), Everybody got their own demons, Everybody fightin' their own war."
I grab G-Eazy's hand as I finish off the last 3 lines looking into his eyes,
"I can be an angel sometimes, I can be real fucked up, I miss you only sometimes, I give you real tough love, 'Cause I'm a devil with a halo, whoa-oh-oh."
The crowd went wild, I was breathing heavy smiling up at G-Eazy who was a foot taller than I was, he was smiling back down at me, then he raises the microphone to his mouth,
"I think that was amazing LA what do you think?"
The crowd went wild again but louder if that was possible, I smiled as he spoke again,
"You have some real talent Lana White; damn I almost thought you were a singer."
I smiled at him, "Thank you!"
"You're welcome," he replies back.
I go to exit the stage as he motions for them to play the next song, he grabs my hand stopping me, and I turn to look at him as the music for I Mean It begins, I smile more at him, and this was my absolute favorite song. He begins to rap along holding my hand, my heart races and I just get lost in the words, rapping along with him, he pushes the microphone to my mouth slowly and stops rapping letting me do it solo, the crowd is going crazy loving every minute of it. When we finish it, he plays about 10 more songs, we smoke on stage with him and his mom, then we exit the stage, laughing after we said goodnight to the crowd, we made our way to the dressing room, Gloria headed for the bathrooms, I followed her,
"That was fucking amazing; you are the most amazing friend any girl could have, best birthday gift ever! You always give the best gifts!"
She began to laugh as did I as she says, "That's because I am fucking awesome!"
"That you totally are a girl!" I reply back to her smiling and fixing my hair in the mirror when I walk into a stall and go pee, I exit the stall washing my hands then dry them.
"Go ahead, I'll meet you at the V.I.P area," Gloria smiles at me as she begins to fix her hair and makeup.
"Okay, bestie see you soon!" I reply, blowing her a kiss.
I exit the bathroom, turn to the right and begin to walk towards the V.I.P area when I feel a hand on my shoulder; I jump and turn, seeing G-Eazy,
"Sorry to startle you, can I talk to you for a moment in my dressing room?" he asks looking down at me, with a sweet smile on his face.
"Sure, lead the way," I smiled back at him, taking his hand from my shoulder and holding it.
He gently squeezed my hand before leading me to his dressing room, we walked inside and he shut the door behind him,
"You were amazing out there, you are an amazing singer, and I had no idea."
"I don't think I am that good, never have," I reply back to him.
"I would love to work with you, my stage manager is all for it, on the side, of course, I know you are really here for acting, but I want to work on music with you in your free time," he says to me smiling.
"Yes, I would love that," I reply back to him, smiling as well.
"Awesome, let's go party G-Eazy style!" he says pulling me out his dressing room with him.
He runs down the hall, I run along with him laughing, I was having a great time, we entered the V.I.P area, the music was on a nice level; we walked towards the bar,
"Order whatever you like and however much you like, it's all paid for by me and its nonstop fun until they can't serve anymore."
"Thanks," I say then turn to the bartender and say,
"I'll have a Mystic Marvel, 1.5 oz Casamigos Tequila, 1 oz prickly pear purée, .75 oz agave, .75 oz lime juice, I know it is a weird one I get it a lot."
He laughs smiling, "Certainly is, Gerald would you like your usual?" He turns to G-Eazy and smiles.
He nods, "Yes please."
He grabs my hand and leads me to his table, Gloria walks in and goes to order a drink, then comes to us, I sit next to Gerald, Gloria sits on the other side of me. A few minutes later our drinks arrive.
