Hello Wenona! Your web home is such a creative hot bed. Hope
you don’t mind that one half of my fictional band, Sin Pointe, and stars of the
book Wicked Flower, have left the virtual tour bus to have a look around.
Hopefully they won’t get themselves into too much trouble. While Stefan and
Will are stretching their legs and checking things out, I thought I’d share a
couple of their favorite “go-to’s” while on tour. It might be hard to believe,
but these sexy bad boys are actually pretty handy when they have the right
motivation.
Take hunger for instance. A rumbling tummy can get even the
sleepiest night owl up in the early morning hours. Did you know that Stefan Calderon,
sinful lead singer, bass player and hero of Wicked Flower, doesn’t go anywhere
without his Wildside Blendtec and copious jars of coconut oil? Oh yeah. He’s known
amongst his bandmates and road crew for his smoothies. These babies will get
you up and at it when you need a quick boost. Just add 16 ounces of orange
juice, three ripe medium bananas (easy to find on the road as most truck stops
and convenience stores sell them nowadays) and one tablespoon of extra virgin
coconut oil. You’ll have to make a special trip for this. Next time you make a
midnight run to your favorite all-nighter store, keep your eyes peeled for
guyliner, zippers, tattoos and a mohawk. The Sin Pointe boys could be in your
town hunting down smoothie supplies. Last, blend it all together and you’ve got
enough to share since you’ve probably just awoken everyone in the hotel suite!
Messes. Will Cordero might beat things for a living, but
he’s actually a very gentle soul and values cleanliness, way more than the rest
of his bandmates. Which is why he travels with Windex. At all times. Sure,
you’ve probably heard the glass cleaner’s all-purpose praises but did you know
it works miracles on stubborn carpet spills? Oh yeah. A few spritzes of the
clear blue stuff, a small scrubber brush and some elbow grease will get out
even year-old stains. So the next time you’re flying down the road, the car
skids to a halt because your best friend has to check out the hot girl at the
gas station and your coffee spills, just do like Will and chillax. You’ve got a
secret weapon in your pocket.
“Hey Love, what’s that you’ve got in your pocket?” Stefan
has just returned and he’s giving us that devilish grin. Will’s eyes just
finished rolling in his head.
I’m just going to ignore Stefan’s comment and remind him
he’s supposed to be on his best behavior at this tour stop. “I was just sharing
your love of smoothies and glass cleaner with Miss Wenona and her lovely
followers. Any other tips you’d like to impart? PG rated tips, before you get
any crazy ideas.”
They give each other a look as if I’ve just spoken
gibberish. Stefan’s eyes light up. This could be really good or really bad…
“Always share your candy,” he says.
“Okaayy. I guess that’s pretty PG and a good enough tip,” I
tell Stefan in return. Sort of proud he’s behaving. “Slightly random. Care to
explain?”
He pulls the inside corner of his lip in with his teeth.
He’s got great teeth.
“It always tastes better on someone else’s lips, Love.”
Author girl just looks at Will. We shrug. “Halloween!” We
realize at the same time.
Well there you have it, folks. Apparently Stefan was
inspired during his perusing of Wenona’s lovely site. Everyone have a safe and
happy October! Hope you enjoyed this edition of “Rock Star D-I-Y”.
Thanks for having us and remember, Love Stories Rock!

Excerpt:
Wow. Had Will
pegged this perfectly or what? Stefan was determined not to hear her. What hurt
Dani most was how his confidence had been shattered by a ten minute
conversation in a silly rose garden.
She didn’t even
remember that she’d just been crying and the wetness on her cheeks surprised
her when she wiped a piece of hair from her face. “But you come back. And when
you do, you bring the best laughs and joy with you. You bring yourself.”
“No, don’t do
that. Don’t make me out to be some good guy, Dani. It’ll only hurt you in the
end.” He paused and then stabbed her with a look sharper than steel. “You
sucked my cock good last night, but that doesn’t mean you own me. I don’t owe
you anything.”
Her face flamed
with sheer anger. She nearly spit the word asshole right back in his face but
remembered Will’s warning. She could be just as stubborn. “Try again. I did
suck your cock good and no, you don’t owe me anything. But you will hear me
out. You know who else leaves their loved ones behind? How about soldiers?”
“That’s
different and you know it.”
“How so? They
stay gone for months. Thom gets one two-week break half-way through his
year-long tour. He comes home one time, Stefan. In an entire year. How is that
different than what you do?”
Stefan looked
like she’d shot him. He held his hands over his midsection and hunched over
before he righted himself again.
“I don’t know.
It just is. I’m not laying my life on the line for anyone.”
“But you’re
putting it on hold so you can make all those people who love your music happy.”
She wouldn’t stop now. “I bet if you were with someone, you’d find a way to see
that person, no matter how far away you were. And I bet that person would be
thankful, and…” Her eyes welled up with tears again. “So very happy for each
moment, no matter how short or how much time passed between visits. Or how big
of a mean jerk you could be sometimes.”
The amount of
time he stayed with his head bowed down killed Dani. Losing him in a couple
days hadn’t hurt before because she realized she’d held out hope that things
would work out between them. That her Superman would figure it out and fix it all.
He’d invite his mom to Nashville and Dani too. All she needed was an invitation
and his ability to wait two measly months for her to arrive.
“Stefan, look at
me.”
She waited
patiently.
“I’ll just hurt
you, Dani. Don’t you get it? I fucking love you and I’d hurt you.”
Her breath
tunneled around her lungs and her knees threatened to give out but she wouldn’t
stop until she’d convinced him he would not do that. Not if he … not if he
loved her. The way she loved him back.
“Why do you keep
saying that? Leaving, when it’s your job, doesn’t hurt the one you love.”
Her mind was
nearly useless after his use of the L word. Maybe he was trying to tell her he
wouldn’t be faithful.
“You don’t
understand me, Dani.”
“Then help me
out here. Are you saying you’d sleep around on the road? Is that some
inevitable part of you being Stefan Calderon, bass player?”
Crap. He wasn’t
answering her.
“Fuck, I don’t
know. Maybe. I’ve never been tested like that.”
“What the hell
do you mean?”
Again he went
silent. And this time he got up out of his stool and walked to the sink. As if
they hadn’t just been in an industrial sized conversation, he reached up and
pulled a glass from a cupboard and filled it with water. He guzzled the entire
thing down then filled it up and walked back over to her. He set the glass down
in front of her, nudging her hand which she realized was in a tight fist.
“Fighting can’t
be good for the baby. Dinner’s getting cold. Let’s eat. Then maybe we’ll talk
more.”
Maybe we’ll talk
more? Who did he think he was? Ending their discussion like that. But her chest
had tightened and she knew he was right when she took in a deep breath and felt
the built up tension leave and her body relax back to normal.
She hated that
he was right. But if he thought she wouldn’t fight for him, he was dead wrong.
She took the glass of water, emptying it then handed it back to him.
“What did you
get?”
She could play
nice while they ate. He loved her.
Stefan brought
their plates over. He sat down across from her and stabbed a peapod and a chunk
of pink salmon, shaking his head as he bit the food from the fork and chewed.
He stabbed another and another bite.
Whoever had made
this man, had gotten so many things so very right. No matter that all those
things combined made her absolutely crazy.
He loved her.
He’d said so.
She chewed, and
tried not to cry smile.
