Martijn POV

It's the time..... Half an hour and I'm on stage. That's..... Unreal.

We just arrived at RAI, accompanied by a driver that Watse called for us to leave and then get back home.

"Ok Miné.... So, these guys are going to escort you to the lights and visuals decks. Gabe is there waiting for you" I tell her pointing at the two 2 meters tall guys that I booked for the security.

"Ok Martijn. You are up in.... How much time?"

"Half an hour bae"

"You know, I hope you fail everything and everyone goes home halfway into your set"

"Do you want to make me cry?"

She comes closer and hugs me so tenderly, that all the guys that were there with us are walking away without me telling them.

"I want you to be happy Marty. I hope you enjoy your own set and most importantly... have fun"

"I hope you have fun too darling...."

I kiss her beautiful lips and comb her hair with my fingers before calling back the security guards.

They are standing on the side, waiting for her to go with them.

"Ok Bae, see you later"

"See you Mr. Dj" she answers pecking my lips one last time and then walking away with the security.

Now that she's safe, I sprint to the backstage to mentally get ready for the show.

Minerva POV

After fighting to get to the visual station, the two ten-feet-tall guards finally let me enter where Gabe is setting lights and checking if everything runs fine.

He has headphones and microphone, and he's talking to the stage assistants for the check. He noticed me enter, but he only waves at me because he's busy. So I just stand there and admire his work.

"Check completed. 5 minutes until he is on"

Gabe turns towards me and says hi properly.
"Hi Minerva, I'm sorry if I didn't greet you"

"Oh no no no, you are working. I don't want to bother you"

"Anyway.... Are you excited?"

"I am. I've seen how much time you guys spent on this project and..... Really, I can't wait"

"Just a few more minutes, I promise" he says with a smile.

He brings his hand to the headphone, listening to the stage manager.

"Martijn is behind the decks. Ready to go. Do you want to greet him?" Gabe asks me.

"I just want to say something"

"Please, Martijn on the radio. Please, Martijn on the radio"

Gabe puts the headphones with the mic on my head and pushes some buttons on the deck, causing the lights to turn on.

"Martijn here, what's up Gabe?"

"Martijn that's me!"

"Bae..... Hi. I'm ready to start. Tell Gabe to go for the intro"

I tap on Gabe's shoulder and tell him that Martijn wants the intro.

And the show begins, the room is darker than the night sky. There are only some phones in the air.

"Thank you. Enjoy the show"

"Wait Martijn!" I exclaim.

"Be quick Bae"

I smile all by myself and say
"Make this fucking place turn up. Understood?!"

"Yes boss. Enjoy!"

The connection cuts out, so I give back the headphones to the owner.
He tells me
"Let's make this fucking place turn up then!"

The music starts, and the crowd is already screaming 'Martin, Martin!'. He didn't even show up yet!

I can't even describe how it feels to see him on stage. I can't even hear music, because the fans' cheering is actually louder.

At the first drop I already have to take off my hoodie, because I'm hot from dancing.

"Where can I leave this????" I scream into Gabe's ear, asking for an answer.

"There's my jacket right there!" he answers pointing at the iron rail.

I throw my hoodie next to Gabe's and then enjoy my boy's amazing dj set, dancing along with the crowd.

When lasers light up the stage, I suddenly remember about the 'Mr lasers guy' nickname I thought for Gabriel back in the days.

That fucking suits him so much.

"Mr lasers guy?!" I call for him to see if he would turn around. And he actually did!

I give him a double high five and he actually smiles and thanks me for the amazing review of his work.

Music is amazing.
Visuals are unbelievable.
Lights are crazy.

My heart is beating along with the music and I'm feeling trapped by the melodies that I'm listening to.

This amazing mix of emotions turned into music, or maybe music that turns into emotions.... It's just....... Martijn.

This is Martijn.

I'm feeling like we are in the same bed making love. This is exactly the same thing. We are making love right now, with our minds.

My mind stops racing when I feel one hand over my shoulder.

It's just Louis. I haven't seen him in so long. It was Tomorrowland, damn.

"Louis, hi!"

"Minerva! Really nice to meet you again after all this time!"

"It has been so long! How are you doing?"

"Great. Especially when Martijn rocks like this. I was just wondering..... Can I take a picture of you?"

"Of me? Umm... Sure.... But why?"

"Your boyfriend requested"

Boyfriend. I'm shivering right now....

"He's not my boyfriend, but that's OK! Tell me how I have to pose"

"Gabe..... Go all in for the next drop. Fire, lasers, everything. That's for her pic" Louis yells at Mr lasers guy who answers with a thumbs up.

Louis helps me to sit onto the rail and tells me to dance and act natural, maybe bringing my hands to the sky.

I do as he asks, smiling and vibing at the music as always and he takes a picture of me.

"Thank you Miné! See you!" he says, disappearing in the dark and going to the back of the crowd.
