Return To Me, My Love

Everything eventually settles down and I lay curled up in my bunk, the covers still pulled over my head as I lay with my eyes closed, the sound of the bus moving along the road helping to soothe my nerves. The guys go to bed and everything goes quiet for a while before my bunk curtain is pulled back and Frank climbs back in, me shuffling over so my back is pressed to the wall to give him room. "Are you alright beautiful?" Frank asks softly and I let out a soft whine as I snuggle into his side and bury my face in his neck. "Are you ok? Are you hurt?" I ask softly, not bothering to answer his question. "Well my ass might be broken but otherwise I'm ok." I let out a small giggle as I say "When we get a hotel night I'll kiss it better." "I'll hold you to that" Frank tells me, pressing a soft kiss to my forehead and I feel my body slowly relax, melting against his side as Franks hand gently rubs up and down my back and we fall asleep tangled together. The next morning I wake up with Frank still sleeping beside me, his breathing soft and even and I lay beside him just watching his face, his lips twitching slightly making him look adorable. Fifteen minutes later Frank lets out a soft groan, pursing his lips together before saying "You're staring," his eyes still closed. "Can you blame me?" I ask and Frank chuckles and turns his head towards me, opening his eyes and smiling at me. "You're so sweet" he croons at me and I chuckle back before leaning in to kiss him. We share soft slow kisses for a few minutes, our bodies tangled together until Frank pulls back and lets out a small yawn, stretching as much as he can in the limited space of the bunk before saying "I'll treat you to breakfast when we stop." "I have to get out of here?" I ask, biting my bottom lip and Frank chuckles and says "The guys will be cool, I promise." "But..." "Don't be embarrassed babe, if anyone should be it should be me." "Frankie" I whine softly as I bury my face in his neck and Frank chuckles and says "Come on, it'll be alright." I sigh and roll back, separating myself from him and Frank opens the bunk curtain, sliding out before turning back around and reaching out for me, easing me out of the bunk and into his arms, carrying me to the front lounge where the rest of the guys are, everyone going silent when we walk in. I turn my face to bury it in Franks neck again when the guys start their conversation up again and no one spares us a second glance, helping me relax again.

Twenty minutes after we drag ourselves out of my bunk the tour manager comes into the lounge and tells us all that we are fifteen minutes away from the venue and Frank smiles and stands up, tugging me up too and we go back into the bunk area, grabbing some clean clothes and we sneak into the small bathroom together, changing quickly and making ourselves look presentable and by the time we go back into the bunk area to pull on our shoes we are just pulling up. As soon as the bus pulls up Frank and I are at the door ready to go exploring and the tour manager tells us we need to be back in two hours for sound check. Frank nods and leads me outside, the morning quite cold so I tighten my scarf and pull Franks jacket that I stole tighter around me, inhaling his scent and he smiles over at me and says "You wanna go grab another jacket?" "Nah this one is ok" I tell him and he smiles and takes my hand, his thumb rubbing soothing circles over the back of it as we start to walk down the street, rounding the corner and walking past the front of the venue where a small group of girls are already camped out. "Wow you guys are dedicated" Frank tells them and they all stand up, rushing over to us and Frank signs autographs and takes some photos before a few of them ask if they can have photos with me too. "Uh, I don't really...." I trail off and one of the girls says "Hey guys don't pressure him." I smile gratefully at her and Frank tells them all that we'll see them later and we keep walking. After exploring for half an hour we come across a small cafe and we go inside, a waitress taking us to a small table and we order breakfast, joking and laughing over the table while we wait for the food and just as it arrives I say "Frank there's something I need to...." But I'm cut off by the food arriving. "What baby?" Frank asks after the waitress leaves again and I smile as I say "I've been thinking and yes I will join the tour, if that's alright."
