When I reach the bedroom, I see Avery lounging around in her purple bathrobe that she takes everywhere just aimlessly scrolling on her phone. Deciding to tease her back, I drop my towel, giving her a perfect view of my back and butt, hearing her gasp lightly. I try to continue as normal as I open the cabinet to reach my boxers.

As soon as my boxers are on, I feel her arms snake around my waist. Cheekily, I turn my head and say "Like the view?"

"Love it." she says before unwrapping herself from me, and slapping my bum before walking away to get dressed.

As I'm finishing getting changed, I hear a knock on the door. Avery shoots me a puzzle look to which I reply, "It's just Jeff. We need to go over a few things. Meet me out there when you're ready okay?."

She acknowledged me with a nod as I make my way to the living room part of the suite to open the door.

Greeting me with a hug, we get straight to business. "So we have 2 shows in a row in California, then a few days off before starting up again in Nashville, and then it's pretty much a show each day." I nod listening on to all of the info Jeff gives me, before hearing the ensuite door open.

"Good Morning Jeff." Avery says sweetly

"Hi Avery, ready for this?" he replies

"Ready as I'll ever be!" she says. Before Jeff can start talking again, she tells me "I'm gonna go get a coffee and something to eat with Sarah and Lily. I can bring you guys back something if you want?"

"No baby, thank you though." I say, making her blush at the use of the pet name, while Jeff nods in agreement but thanks her anyways.

As soon as the door is closed, Jeff immediately continues telling me all the necessary information about tonight's show.

"Okay so that's about it H. A car will be here to get you around 3pm, so you can do soundcheck." Jeff says as he starts to get up from the couch and head towards the door.

"Thanks man." I replied.

When Jeff is gone, I lay down on the couch, with my eyes closed trying to process all the information he just gave me.

I must have dozed off, because I'm awoken by the noise of Avery opening the door.

"Oh shit bub, I didn't know you were sleeping. I'm sorry." She says walking over to sit by where my head is.

"It's okay, beautiful. How long have you gone?"

Looking at her phone she says "About 2 hours, we just were catching up, and talking about the tour."

"That's more than okay." I say gently reassuring her, knowing she thinks I might be upset at her being gone for longer. "So how was the food?" I then ask, knowing how much of a foodie she is.

"The food was so good! We have to go again if we are ever back in San Fransisco together!" she says enthusiastically.

"Just say when " I say back, holding back what I really want to say, that'd I'd go anywhere as she is with her.

Sitting up making more room for her on the couch, I ask "We have a few hours before we have to gather our stuff and leave for the venue, do you want to cuddle in bed and watch a bit of Friends?"

"Mmmhm, sounds perfect." she says walking straight to the room, to remove her clothes and put on my sweats and requesting me to give her the shirt I currently have on.

Avery quickly gets under the covers, and turns to face me, patting the bed next to her, signaling me to lay down. I quickly turn off all the lights, set my alarm and crawl in next to her.
