Author's Notes: Part 2 to the other Yardbirds fanfic.
By the time you got to the first floor, you were snuggled into Jimmy’s vintage colonial jacket, wrapped in his arms, back to front. He rested his chin on your shoulder and occasionally kissed your cheek after ranting on Keith for being drunk.
You also found out that the newest member of the elevator was named Chelsea and from Liverpool, as you guessed. You could hear her in the back talking to Jeff. She was gushing all over him and flirting non stop.
The elevator stopped on the ground floor and you all got out. Jimmy took his head off your shoulder and put his arm around your waist. Jeff appeared on your left, holding hands with Chelsea. You turned towards him as you all walked through the lobby.
“So, I’m guessing yeh fancy ‘er then, eh?”
“Well, yeah,” he said and grinned slyly. “She’s gorgeous, and she’s funny. And she’s a blues obsesser like us, so she’s got to be groovy.”
“Well I’m happy for you,” you said and turned back to Jimmy.
When you got to the front desk, Peter Grant was already there pacing.
“Where the bloody hell were you lot?!” he exclaimed and threw his hands in the air.
While Chris explained everything to Peter, Jimmy turned to face you.
“Wot say we go find somewhere to, erm, hang fer a bit while this gets straightened out?” he asked and ran his hand through your hair.
“Sure,” you said and grinned. Jimmy took your hand and you two sneaked off. Well, you tried to at least.
“Hey! Where the hell do you two think yer going?” Peter yelled to you. “As I’m hearing, there’s a whole corridor teeming with girls looking fer yeh. I thoroughly suggest yeh don’t wander too far from us. We’re trying to find some rooms fer yeh now.” He said. You frowned and walked back to the band with Jimmy.
“Nice try,” Jeff said to you as you walked by. You stuck your tongue out at him and he did the same to you. You were getting closer to Jeff friend-wise as the day went on. He was a fun guy to hang with. Although, you still kept remembering the horror stories of him snapping at people and getting violent. You turned to look at him as he kissed Chelsea, and you couldn’t see him getting that mad at someone. Or maybe that was just the tea talking.
Suddenly, the elevator door opened and the roadies pored out all out of breath and paranoid of every girl that walked by.
“Bloody hell wot ‘appened to you lot?” Jim asked they approached the desk.
“Bloody fan girls and groupies just stormed us as we got out of the lift. Thought we were the band. They’ve gone all potty up there,” one of the roadies explained and looked around nervously.
“Well sir,” the man behind the desk said. “I’ve found you another set of rooms on the very top floor, and those rooms include unlimited access to the rooftop pool.”
“Will we be the only ones who use it?” Emily asked.
“Yes m’am.”
“Then let’s go!” Keith proclaimed and whirled his arm in the air.
You all piled into one elevator while the roadies went into the other. You made sure that the 20 button was pushed and not 10. You leaned up against Jimmy the whole ride and he held your hand. Jeff was in the corner making out with Chelsea while Emily was flirting with a blatantly drunk Keith. This left Chris and Jim without a girlfriend and you kind of felt bad for them. Then again, you assumed they’d find a groupie.
When you got to the top floor, you peeked around the door very carefully. There wasn’t a single soul up there and it felt very refreshing. You and Jimmy took the on the left at the very end of the corridor, facing the street. Jeff and Chelsea took the next one, also facing the street. Across the way from you went Emily and Keith. Jim and Chris each took their own rooms as did the rest of the roadies.
“What a view,” Jimmy said as he put down his carry-on bag and walked over to the balcony doors. You went and joined him, noticing the one queen-sized bed on the way. You gazed through the doors but didn’t dare walk onto the balcony.
“Yeah, very, erm...industrial,” you fumbled. It was horrible. The street below was lined with cars and lit with late-night stores’ neon lights. There was the occasional honk and siren in the distance. And it was filthy. As you two looked out the window, Jimmy coolly reached up and closed the blinds.
“Well, at least it’s night now and we don’t need the extra light,” he said.
“We don’t need any light,” you said coyly and turned to face him. He grinned down at you and you did the same. He ran his fingers through your hair for the hundredth time that day (though you wouldn’t dare complain), but for the first time he kissed you on the lips. You felt electricity run through your every nerve, muscle, and bone of your body. It was like magic, and you couldn’t explain it. Just as it was starting to get intense, it was interrupted by the sound of shouting across the street. Ordinarily, you could have ignored it. But this time, the voice sounded very familiar. You stopped and pulled away from Jimmy.
“What’s wrong, love?” he asked with a hurt expression on his face.
“I think I know that voice,” you said and walked over to the balcony. You opened the blinds and went outside. Across the street was another hotel, smaller obviously and not as expensive. There was a girl standing outside yelling to someone inside about a credit card.
“IT WAS GOOD THIS MORNING!” she yelled. You suddenly realised who it was. Your other best friend, Julie, was born in New York, moved to England in year one, and then moved back to New York after school finished. You hadn’t seen her in YEARS.
“JULIE!!!” you screamed 20 floors down to her. She looked around confused. you yelled her name again and she finally looked up.
“Who the hell are you?” she yelled up to you.
“it’s Lilly! Remember?” you waved down.
“Oh my God!” she yelled to you. You couldn’t blame her for not recognising you, she was only 20 floors below you. By now Jimmy had joined you on the balcony.
“I have two questions for you,” you yelled. “Do you need somewhere to stay, and who’ your favourite Yardbird?”
“Yes and definitely Chris. He’s just dreamy!” she yelled as you turned to Jimmy and he nodded.
“Meet me in the lobby right now,” you said to Julie.
“OK!” she yelled and picked up her bags.
“So we found Chris a bird then,” Jimmy said as he walked you inside.
“Apparently. You go tell him and I’ll go get her. Whether she’s staying with Chris or not, she has a room, right?” you asked.
“No, we only have the entire floor,” he said and grinned. You kissed him again and almost forgot about Julie.
When you got to the lobby, there were a few girls left from the hallway, but none of then recognised you. When you saw Julie she enveloped you in a hug.
“It’s been forever!” she said as you walked back to the elevator.
“I know. Oh my god, two things: Emma’s here and you’re spending the night in Chris Dreja’s room,” you informed her. Apparently, you should have told her one at a time, because she fainted outside the elevator. One of the bellboys saw this and ran over.
“It’s ok, she just fainted, but we need to get to the 20th floor.” You said and he nodded. He picked her up and brought her in the elevator.
When you got to the 20th floor, Jimmy, Emma and Chris were waiting in the hallway. When they all saw Julie fainted they ran over.
“I think I told her too much at once,” you confessed. Jimmy smiled and shook his head.
“I’ll take her,” Chris said gently. You could tell he liked her already. The bellboy placed her in Chris’ arms and you slipped him a tip. The four, or three depending on how you looked at it, walked to Chris’ room and put her on the bed. A few seconds later she woke up and looked around. She sat up slowly and clutched her head.
“I fainted, didn’t I?” she asked.
“Yeah. You didn’t even make it to the elevators!” you said and laughed.
“Emma? Dear god is that you?” she asked and Emma nodded. The two of them hugged and laughed.
“It’s been so long!” Emma said smiling. You and Julie nodded.
“Oh, this is Jimmy Page and this is Chris Dreja, but I’m assuming you already know that,” you said and Jimmy put his arm around your waist.
“Yes, I knew that. I think that’s one of the reasons why I fainted,” she smiled.
“Well, I’m tired and I think I should go watch Keith, even though he’s probably passed out by now,” Emma said and stood up.
“We’ll catch up in the morning,” you said and stood up too.
“Ok. I should probably get settled here too,” Julie said and grinned at Chris. He did the same.
“Wait,” Emma stopped and said. “What are you doing here, in a hotel?”
“House getting fumigated. Cockroaches. Nasty business.” She said and laughed.
“Rightey then,” you said and started to walk out of the room. Everyone waved good night and Jimmy shut the door behind him.
“Good luck with Keith,” Jimmy said as they walked down the corridor.
“Thanks, everyone’s probably gonna get lucky tonight except me,” she said sadly.
“Well, there’s always tomorrow night!” you said and laughed. You looked back down the hallway and saw a groupie go into Jim’s room and the door shut.
Emma’s theory made even more sense when you walled by Jeff’s room and heard various bangs and moaning noises coming from inside. Suddenly, Jimmy walked over to his door, opened it, peeked in and yelled, “Go get ‘er mate!”
Chelsea screamed and Jeff laughed. He shut the door and you three kept walking.
“See what I mean?” Emma said throwing her hands in the air.
“You never know,” Jimmy said. “Keith could be in there right now, stark naked, sitting on a chair, legs open, waiting for you while you’re out here sulking about not getting laid. So go in there and rape and pillage and plunder for all its worth!” he yelled the last part.
“Ok, but there’s one problem with that,” Emma said as she reached the door.
“Whats that?” you asked.
“You can't rape the willing,” she said, grinned and walked into the room, shutting the door behind her.
“She’s got a point,” you said and walked up to your room door, which Jimmy opened for you.
You walked in and found the balcony door still open. as you walked over to it, you heard Jimmy shut the door behind you. You closed the sliding glass doors and reached up and closed the blinds. When you brought your arm back down, Jimmy had his wrapped around your waist and was kissing your neck. You turned around to face him as he kissed you on the lips. When he pulled away from you, you looked into his deep green eyes and lost all control. He picked you up gently and placed you on the bed. He slid off his coat and got on the bed next to you. You two made out for a little while, totally absorbing all the energy that just seeped from Jimmy. After a little while, he couldn’t take it anymore. He moved on top of you with one leg on either side of you, bent over and kissed you again. You reached up and unbuttoned his silky white shirt and slid it off his arms. he reached up and pushed his hair behind his ears, but one little strand slipped back out which you found incredibly sexy. He reached down and took off your blouse. He started kissing you all the way down to your mini skirt which he yanked off in one motion. You started into his eyes for a moment before unbuttoning his tight black slacks. Unfortunately, he lost his balance in the process, and he fell off the bed, taking you and the comforter with him. You landed on him, but rolled over so he was on top again. You looked down to find his pants had come off. You two undressed further, and just before that initial motion occurred, you thought you were the happiest woman alive.
You woke up in the morning under the comforter, on the floor, with a very sore back. This was probably caused by both the fact that you were lying on the floor and that you just had a wild night with your idol. You looked up to your left to find that it was 11.00 in the morning. You then turned to your right to find Jimmy naked, sleeping peacefully. You moved over the six inches that was between you two and snuggled up to him. He grunted sleepily and put his arms around you before going back to sleep, if he even woke up to begin with.
As you drifted back off to sleep in Jimmy’s arms, Jeff was waking up in the same position in his own bed. He peeked open his eyes to find Chelsea, his blonde bombshell, snuggled into his chest. He grinned and slipped back into a peaceful sleep.
Just then, Emma and Julie woke up simultaneously in their individual rooms. They weren’t snuggled up to their honeys, but were next to them underneath the tousled dirty sheets. They each turned over to look at who they had just spent the night with and smiled. They both were tempted to snuggle back to sleep, but were curious to see who was up and what metaphorical metals they now possessed. Emma slipped quietly out of bed, which she didn’t really need to as Keith was definitely not going to wake up after last night. She opened her door and peered down the hallway. When she did, she saw Julie doing the same thing. They walked out into the hall and met infront of the elevators.
“So, how was it?” Julie asked and smiled.
“Well, he was drunk, so it was kinda sloppy. But ut was good anyway,” she said and shuffled her feet. “How was Chris?” she asked and leaned against the wall next to the elevator.
“Perfect,” she said and sighed. “He’s everything I wanted. Very gentle and romantic, always thinks of you,” she said and grinned.
“So nothing, erm, rough?” Emma asked.
“No, I’m not like Lilly. She’s probably into that kind of stuff.”
“Speaking of which, I wonder how her and the boy wonder were last night,” Emma grinned.
“Boy wonder?” Julie asked confused.
“Did you or did you not look at his pants last night? That boy is GIFTED,” she said and laughed hysterically.
“No I didn’t. I was too busy staring at Chris.” She said.
“Well no duh,” she said and laughed.
“God I’m hungry. I wonder if its too late for breakfast,” Julie said and looked around.
“Its eleven o clock, what do you think?” Chris said as he walked into the corridor in a robe.
“I’m gunna go check on Keith,” Emma said and walked away. She could tell where this was going.
“Hey hunky. Sleep at all?” she asked Chris and kissed him as he walked up.
“Yes, after a bit I did. You were great,” he said leaning one arm against the wall above her head.
“You weren’t exactly great,” she said looking at Chris. He started to get nervous. “You were awesome,” she said and smiled widely. He let out a sigh of relief and pushed off the wall.
“Lets go get properly dressed and look for breakfast,” he said and led her back to the room.
At 11.30, Jimmy woke up. He looked down at you and smiled. At the same time, you woke up too and looked up at him.
“Good morning gorgeous,” he said and kissed your forehead.
“Good morning,” you replied. “and thanks for the awesome night last night. I’ve never felt anything like it.” You ran your finger up and down the little indent in his chest.
“Me neither. Its so hard to explain right now, but last night, it was like being taken to another world,” he said and sighed.
“I wonder if anyone else slept last night,” you said and stretched. You heard your back crack and it felt better. Jimmy looked down at you and laughed when he heard it. Suddenly, the door opened up and Jeff trudged in, all cleaned up and dressed.
“Sorry mate, just looking for some toilet paper,” he said and shielded his eyes as he felt along the wall for the bathroom. Jimmy pulled the blanket up further as Jeff tripped over Jimmy’s quickly discarded pants.
“What, no time to fold anything?” he asked as he found the bathroom.
“Why do you need toilet paper anyway?” you asked.
“We threw all our rolls at passing cars. Apparently it turns her on. So we used all the rolls we could find and now we can't use it for what it’s intended for,” he explained from the bathroom.
“Ok then, I can't believe I asked,” you said and yawned.
“Oh yeah,” jeff said still in the bathroom. “We’re all going out for lunch in a half an hour, so you’d better get cleaned up,” he said as he walked out of the bathroom with a roll of toilet paper.
“Ok, fine with me,” Jimmy said. Jeff was shielding his eyes again, trying to leave, when he tripped over your bra and fell onto your ‘bed’ on the floor. Of course, he landed right on you, pulling the blanket down to your waist. And of course, you still weren’t wearing anything.
“Oh shit, sorry,” he said and got up. His face was bright red, but judging by his eyes, you didn’t think it was from embarrassment. And as he left, he tuned back to you one more time. You looked at him, and that look was there again. The one you kept seeing yesterday, but you thought it was just the brandy. You finally figured out what it was.

Heart Full of Soul Pt. 1
Rating: R for a scene of relatively innapropriate content. Could really get a PG-13, but I'd rather warn you lot than have you read it and get all freaked out.
Author's Notes: I haven't touched this one in a while haha.
It was August of 1966, and at the age of 21, it was your first time flying alone. You were going from your home town of London to visit your old-friend-turned-pen-pal in New York. Your mother, nervous as usual, had lectured you the night before on airport safety, including a brief history on the Mile High Club. The only part you liked about your mother’s nervousness was that you were given first class tickets to insure you were being watched by a stewardess at all times.
You were dropped off at the airport by your entire family at 10.30 even through your flight was to take off at 1.45.
“I want to make sure you get past security and you’re ok,” your mom said as she fixed your feathery hair.
“Ok, whatever,” You replied and pulled away from your mom. You turned around and found your little brother, Michael, talking to a stranger in a trench coat. You ran over and scooped him up.
“You pay so much attention to me, a 21 year old, yet you barely notice my 11 year old brother,” you quipped and put him down.
Two hours later, you finally convinced your family to let you go and board your plane. They waved good bye as you passed through the doors.
By the time you got through the incredibly slow security, you had to run to the plane, throw your bag into the overhead compartment, and flop down in your seat. The stewardess went over all her emergency procedures and you watched intently. When she was done, you buckled your belt and the plane took off. You hadn’t even noticed who was sitting next to you until you were in the air and had permission to unbuckle. When you finally looked to your left (you got an aisle seat), in a row were Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page.
“Hello,” Jeff said unbuckling his seatbelt.
“Umm, hello,” you replied and smiled. He was a lot cuter up close.
“How are you doing this fine day?” Jimmy said as he peered around Jeff’s head. You could feel yourself blushing.
“I am doing fine, and how are you?”
“I’m doing well. I think I could use a brandy, but other than that I’m fine.” Jimmy replied a little nervously. You could tell he didn’t like flying.
“Me too,” Jeff said. “Would you like something?”
“Umm, I’ll just have a tea. It’s a bit early for me to be drinking,” you replied and smiled. Jeff smiled back and got up.
“Well, to each his, or her, own I say. I’ll go tell the stewardess to bring them when she comes by. So it’s two brandies and one tea. Sugar? Milk?”
“No, straight up. I mean black,” you fumbled as you saw Jimmy check you out from the corner of your eye.
“Well, I don’t know about you, but I’ve never had a tea ‘straight up’ before. Is this some southern thing?” Jeff joked as he slid by your seat.
“Oh, yes because I’m definitely a southerner,” you said as he walked down the aisle.
“Where are you from?” Jimmy asked as he moved into Jeff’s seat.
“Shepards Bush. Born and raised,” you said proudly. Jimmy put his elbow on the armrest and your arms touched. It sent a shiver up your spine like an electric charge.
“isn’t that all working class? I don’t mean you look poor, but not being from London, we’ve all heard stories,” Jimmy said and never took his eyes off yours.
“well, both my parents are musicians, so we’re not really working class. all me friends’ parents are working class though,” you explained and smiled at Jimmy. He smiled back.
“Interesting,” he started to say when Jeff appeared back down the aisle.
“How did you get those so quick?” you asked.
“She was just about to come down the aisle, so she figured she could give me them now,” he said. Unfortunately, when Jeff moved in front of you, back to you, with the brandies, you hit some turbulence. This meant that both the brandies went onto the head of the person in front of you. Thankfully they were on the rocks so there wasn’t much drink to spill. Jeff opened his mouth in shock and ran to get some napkins.
“Ah, that Jeff. Always getting into trouble,” He said. Then, without warning, he took your hand in his. He held it up to his face and studied your turquoise ring. You weren’t expecting it, so your stomach did a little jerk.
“Very pretty,” Jimmy said. “a gorgeous ring for a gorgeous woman,” he said and kissed your hand before carefully placing it back on the armrest.
“What a gentleman,” You said then turned your head to look down the aisle. Running towards you was Jeff, carrying an entire roll of paper towels. He then proceeded to trip on the carpeting and fall face first. The stewardess came up to him immediately and offered to help him up. He took her hand, got up, and smiled seductively at her. She simply turned on her heels and walked back to her drink cart.
“What a klutz,” Jimmy said and made you laugh.
“You have a very pretty laugh,” he said and smoothed out your hair. His touch was like electricity running from his fingers through every nerve in your body. And you liked it.
“Thank you,” you said and watched Jeff go over to the people sitting in front of you. He handed the older man the whole roll, apologised and returned to his new seat, Jimmy’s old one. He sighed as he sat down again.
“Umm,” Jimmy said, “Where’s our proper brandies and this young lady’s tea?” he asked with a sly grin that made you quietly giggle.
“Ah bloody hell,” he got up again and went to the stewardess. She eyes him suspiciously after the incident with his roaming eyes.
“You know, I never got your name,” Jimmy said turning back to you.
“It’s Lilly. Lilly Cooper.”
“Very pretty...uh oh. Here comes trouble.”
You looked down the aisle and Keith Relf was walking in your direction. He looked at your legs, then you and smiled. You couldn’t help but smile back. You had to be polite, right?
“Hey Jim, nice seat,” Keith said eyeing you again. This was going to get tacky.
“Erm, thanks,” Jimmy replied and shifted nervously in his seat.
“And what’s your name, miss?” he asked and winked. Eww.
“Lilly,” you answered and Keith grinned.
“What a gorgeous name,” he said and took your hand, kissing the same place Jimmy did (you could never forget). “and what a gorgeous woman,” he placed your hand back down.
“Thanks, I mean that’s sweet and everything,” you explained, “but I’m not interested. Really. No offence?” you asked.
“Sure, I guess not,” he mumbled and watched Jeff come down the aisle juggling two brandies and a tea. Keith took the tea from him and took a sip.
“Thanks Jeffey boy, but next time, I like cream in mine,” Keith said looking at Jeff. You were the first one to speak.
“Well, the reason there’s no cream in there is because that happens to be my tea you’re drinking.”
Keith looked at you with a shocked expression on his face. Jimmy laughed and stood up.
“Here Lilly,” Jimmy said and took your hand. “I’ll get you that tea. Come with me.”
you got up and followed Jimmy past Keith and you watched him check you out (again) from the corner of your eye.
“Well that was interesting,” Jimmy said as he led you down the aisle.
“You called it.”
The two of you reached the stewardess’ place and Jimmy asked for your tea, explaining the new predicament. They went to make it, and Jimmy turned to you.
“Wait right here will ya love? I need to use the not-so-little-boy’s room,” he said with a sly smile and a wink. You nodded and turned your body back to where your seat was. There, in the window seat, was Jeff. He had his head pressed up to the wall and was just staring out. You started to feel sorry for him. All the other band members had either wives or groupies or even girlfriends except Jeff. How did you know? You read NME.
He looked so sad, you were almost tempted to leave and go sit with him for a little chat; but then you remembered Jimmy was coming back so you waited.
Jimmy came out just as the tea finished. You took the tea in one hand, and Jimmy in the other. You two walked down the aisle holding hands and bevies.
When you got to your seat, Jeff looked up and you saw something in his eyes. Not exactly sadness, not exactly jealousy. At that moment you couldn’t place what it was, but there was something there. Or it could have just been the brandy.
The rest of the flight you spent chatting, holding Jimmy’s hand, or drinking more tea. By the time you reached New York, you had drank four cups of tea and had to pee really badly.
“Where are you staying?” Jeff asked as he took out his bags from the overhead compartment.
“Hilton. You?”
“Expensive...” Jimmy quipped as he stood up. “Then again that’s where we’re staying too.”
“Really? What room?” you asked.
“I don’t know. Something on the tenth floor. They never tell us anything.” Jeff said.
“Me too! I forget my room, the number’s written down somewhere,” you said and stood up in the aisle.
You then saw Jimmy whisper something to Jeff and he nodded. They slung their bags over their shoulders, and picked you up. Jimmy took your arms and Jeff your feet. You protested, but soon they were carrying you out of the plane. They waved good-bye to the stewardesses, who could only look on in confusion.
“But I’m wearing a skirt!” you yelled a little too loudly.
“Then we must be sure not to spread your legs like this!” Jeff said and pulled your legs open as soon as a little old lady walked by. She gasped and said something under her breath relating to “the youth of today”.
They finally put you down at the security, because the guards told them to. Jimmy had caught a case of the giggles and it was spreading quickly. Jeff could barely talk he was laughing so hard. When you walked through the metal detector, you tried not to giggle. Once you made it through, however, you burst out laughing. The guard looked at you three suspiciously but then just shook his head.
“So,” Jimmy giggled. “Who’s picking you up?” he managed to ask.
“My friend who lives in New York. We’re sharing a hotel room for the week.”
“You’re only here a week?” Jeff asked and picked up his bags.
You hadn’t thought of that until now. What would happen after a week, or even today? Would you ever see Jimmy again?
“Well, I guess so,” you pouted.
“Look love, when your week is over, you can come with us while we tour, savvy?” Jimmy said and brushed your hair out of your face.
“Are you sure I won't get in the way?” you asked and stared into his green eyes.
“Positive. And your friend can come too if she wants,” he said and took your arm.
“Or if she’s a fan,” Jeff said as he went through the metal detector.
”Oh yeah, she loves you guys. She’s been a fan since the beginning,” you told him and grinned.
“Well that’s a good sign,” Jeff said and led you to the exit.
When you got there, your best friend Emma was already waiting, and when she saw who you were walking with, she almost peed her pants.
“Hey chicky!” Emma said and gave you one of her infamous bear hugs. You replied by spinning her around while still in her vice grip.
“Emma, this is Jimmy Page and this is Jeff Beck. Although, I bet you already knew that,” you said and she grinned.
“Yes I knew, nice to meet you. Is Keith with you by any chance?” She asked and grinned even wider.
Then, directly on cue, Keith put his head between your and Jimmy’s. He was blatantly drunk.
“Hello dear gahl!” he yelled into your ear. “ ‘Oo’s the bird?”
“This is my friend Emma,” you said. She grinned at Keith.
“Hello,” she said.
“Hello!” he yelled and walked between you and Jimmy. He stopped when he reached Emma and put his hand round her waist.
“Where are you staying?”
“The Hilton with Lilly. We’re sharing a room.”
“Gear!” Keith shouted. You looked around to see how many people were staring. Just as you guessed, everyone was.
“Why don’t you stay with me baby? ‘cause as I’m seeing things,” he said, but was interrupted by Jeff.
“which would be double approaching triple,” everyone laughed except Keith.
“As I’m seeing things,” he emphasized. “It looks like Lilly and Jimmy will be sharing a room. So where are you gonna be? alone? I don’t think so,” he said and breathed in her face. But Emma was used to that, she was a bar tender.
“Well, ok. I’ll stay with you,” she said and turned to you. “If that’s ok with Lilly.”
“That’s fine with me,” you said. “Jimmy can stay with me in my room and you can stay with Keith in his room,” you put your arm around Jimmy’s waist. He pulled you closer.
“But then Chris won’t have a room,” Jimmy said.
“He can stay with me,” Jeff said scratching his head. He looked up at you with that look again. It was starting to come to you, but you still didn’t fully understand.
“OK!” Keith shouted and led Emma away. “Meet us in the car. But remember, if the limo’s a knockin’, where’s me bleedin’ luggage?” he slurred.
“The manager’s got it,” Jeff said and picked up his carry on bag.
“Well ok! Lets go then!” keith shouted as he saw the rest of the band approach.
You and jimmy held hands near the front of the parade that was the Yardbirds. Keith and Emma were behind you and you could hear him stumbling. The bags were loaded into one car and the band into another.
When you arrived at the hotel, the rooms were all rearranged and you all brought up the luggage. Once you stepped out of the elevator into the corridor, there was a rush of white noise. You peered around Jeff’s head to find the source. The entire hallway was filled to the brim with screaming girls.
“Oh shit!” Keith slurred when he saw the group. “How’d they get in?”
“Never mind that how are WE gonna get in?” Jim said from the back. So far, they were very lucky the girls hadn’t noticed them.
“Well at least they don’t know we’re here,” Chris said and everyone sighed. Except keith.
“I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU PEOPLE DIDN’T NOTICE US!” Keith yelled at the top of his lungs.
“Spoke too soon,” Emma said and went to push the elevator button again. “Maybe we can run abck on the elevator...”
but it was too late. The girls all turned around, took one look at the band, and ran towards them.
“Bloody hell,” Jeff said and pushed his way into the elevator, but the luggage got in the way. The girls were getting closer and closer each second. Chris spotted another elevator next to the other one and pushed the button. The elevator thankfully opened a second later and everyone rushed in. the girls were 5 feet away when you went to get into the elevator and the doors started to shut.
“Lilly!” Jimmy shouted and tried to stop the doors from closing.
“Leave her Jimmy! The other girls are getting too close!” Keith shouted and let the doors close.
You were left standing in front of the elevator just as the other girls stormed it. You got trampled underneath all of them, and therefore, couldn’t see what floor they had gotten off on.
“Wait, wasn’t she with the band?” some girl shouted and pointed at you. All the surrounding girls stoped and looked right at you. You suddenly got flooded with questions.
“Where are they?”
“What room are they staying in?”
“Does Chris have a girlfriend?”
“Are you one of their girlfriends?”
Your head was spinning and you thought you were going to scream. Just then, the other elevator opened up and the roadies became visible. Suddenly THEY were getting flooded with girls and their fanish questions. You took this opportunity to slip out and go down the stairs.
You went up to the next floor and went to the elevator from there. You pressed the ‘up’ button and the elevator was there within seconds. When it opened, you almost passed out again from shock.
“Jimmy!” you shouted. You had somehow gotten the elevator they were still in and you ran inside. Jimmy enveloped you in a big hug and you grinned. He smelled good; a combination of incense and green tea.
“How’d you guys stay in here all this time without anyone seeing you?”
“Magic dear gahl!” Keith shouted.
“Well let’s just pray no one pushed the 10 button or we’re all screwed. That’s where the fans are heckling your roadies.” You informed them.
Everyone looked over to see what button was lit. It was 10.
“Ok, when we get there,” Chris said. “As soon as it opens, push the close door button and hit 1. We’ll talk to the manager then.”
The elevator dinged and the doors began to open. There was a rush of white noise and then it all stopped as if they knew they were in the elevator. Chris reached over and pushed the close button. Nothing happened. He tried again. Still nothing happened.
“Oh shit....” Jeff said and cowered in the back. Jimmy pushed you behind him, and you became sandwiched between the two guitarists.
“I don’t want them to recognise you,” he said and patted your head. You turned around to Jeff.
“Does this always happen?” you asked him and grinned.
“Yeah, but usually its just in the sidewalk. I knew something was wrong when there wasn’t anyone out there!”
The door finally shut, but with an extra passenger on board. You eyed the maximum capacity sign.
“Oh my god I can't believe I made it in here!” she said. She was a tall blonde bombshell wearing mod clothing and sporting a liverpudlian accent.
“Well,” Jim said but was cut off by this new girl.
“Is Jeff in here?” she asked.
You turned around to look at him. His eyes were bright and he was grinning.
“I’m back here,” he said and raised his hand. You all tried to shift around so she could get to him. You smiled at her as she squeezed by and she smiled back. She seemed nice, but you hoped for some reason she wouldn’t break his heart
