Nick Coyle loved being a rock star. He loved getting in front of the crowd. He loved to watch the crowd jump around and singing while he was on stage doing the same thing for them. It really made him feel good, it gave him a strong sense of accomplishment. Strangers with Candy, the band that Nick led had won MTV’s ultimate cover band contest, even though they weren’t a cover band. From that they had won some money and were getting ready to put out their first CD. But still couldn’t get out of those little clubs they were used to playing. It was all right though, at least they were still playing live.

Strangers with Candy usually played a show once a week at Tink’s Entertainment Complex in Scranton, Pennsylvania. That was one of their favorite places to play, just the whole building gave them a lot of energy. It was all black with neon paintings all over the walls and black lights hung to make everything stand out.

Some times the other guys in the band got mad because Nick got all the attention, all the credit, and all the girls. But that’s what happens when you’re the lead singer in a rock band. All Nick has to do is say something and everyone is kissing his ass. They don’t even care about Strangers with Candy or their music. They just want to get in bed with Nick. And everyone, including Nick, knew that’s the way it is.

To Nick it was great, he loved it and didn’t care about using the girls. They were the ones that crawled into bed with him so it was their fault he always said. Nothing he could do about it. After the show that night all the guys, except DJ Worm and Aaron went backstage to mingle and for Nick to pick out his whore for the night.

To no ones surprise Nick met a new girl, her name was Cassie, and she was quite attractive. She had just turned 22, so she was the same age as Nick and even had the same lip piercing as him. If she were really his girlfriend they would make a cute couple.

It was quite obvious to everyone what was going to happen. Nick was going to take Cassie home, fuck her and then leave her. Pretending it never happened. Pretending he was innocent. Pretending that he was a little angel.

Nick drank, talked, and drank a little more until Cassie bugged him to go. He and Cassie left the club at two in the morning, to go to his apartment.

“Well?” Cassie asked after they arrived at Nick’s.

“Come to my room, to my bed,” he said as he caressed her shoulders.

As they entered Nick’s bedroom Cassie started to have second thoughts, since she got to know Nick she realized that he was very funny and very sweet. She hoped for more than a one-night stand with him but knew that wasn’t going to happen.

“Why can’t I be fucked like I wanna be fucked?” she thought out loud.

“What?” Nick asked as he pulled down the blinds.

“Nothing.”

“No, what is it?”

“It’s just that sometimes I wish I could really be someone’s girlfriend and be fucked because they love me. You know, not just a little toy.”

“Well if you don’t want to do this it’s ok. I’m not forcing you.”

“No, it’s fine. I’m used to being a whore.”

And that night they fucked and he left her not talking to her ever again.
