(Chapter 4)

(Mels p.o.v)

Xavier was sitting in Eric's lap. The boys were going over the plan for the rest of the tour. Xavier played with Eric's hands. "But the idea is that we record in between shows. There's a day or two between shows so that'll work." He says.
Driver nodded. "Ugh Brantley, he wanted to go riding with us on atvs later"  Jeff says. "We will later". Eric says.
The tour bus parked at the arena. I took Xavier from Eric as he got up.

All the guys got off the bus. Eric kissed Xavier's head. "See ya after the show dude". He says. I laughed. "We're going with you". I say. He smirked. "Sorry still a little high". He responded giving me a kiss on the cheek.
I felt my face get warm. I hadn't been kissed or anything since my husband. I grabbed his face and locked lips with him. His hands found my waist. "Sorry". I say pulling away. "Dont be". He says.

I followed him off the bus. I carried Xavier to the golf cart that was there to pick us up. I had Xavier's diaper bag as well. My hair was up in a bun. I wanted to dye it so bad but now wasnt the time.

We were in the arena and the equipment guys were setting up. Eric was getting the guys together and ready for sound check. He gave me and Xavier our VIP passes. He walked by his security guard and he pointed at me and my son. "Protect them please". He says to the huge guy with a nice beard.
"Got it". The guy responds. "Hey I'm Kevin, call me Kev". He says shaking my hand. "Nice to meet you I'm/

He cut me off. "Melodie"." Chief told me"? He says. I nodded. "Xavier want to watch the Chief do sound check?" Kevin asked my son. Xavier nodded and reached for Kev.
I handed my son over and followed the security guard.

We went and watched the band do sound check.

"She drove an '81 Peterbilt 18-wheeler

Jet black with pink mud flaps
It was a mean piece of metal with lightning in the pedal
Thunder comin' out the back". Eric sang.

"And them boys would chuckle when they saw her buckle
Herself in the captain's seat
But nobody was laughin' when she'd go to passin'
Smilin' at them real sweet". He says winking at me. Xavier was into the music.

"She is hell on wheels where the road meets the rubber
A real gear jammer, a white line wonder
Yeah, you only get one, and I wouldn't want another
'Cause mama was a bad mother trucker". He sang. "Mother trucker!" Xavier said. Kev laughed and I shook my head. "Ah hell". I groaned at my son repeating Chief.

(Later)

"You know he repeated you all day". I whisper to Eric. "Really". He says quietly. I giggled as I patted my sons back lulling him to sleep. "He tried his best to sing everything you did". I say. "How did he like the snack table back stage". Eric smirked. "He loved it". "He'll get a bath first thing in the AM". I say.

"You wanna go on a date?" I asked him. "Yeah, actually I do". "The 3 of us". He says. I almost cried, the only other person to love my son this much was his father. I walked up to him and grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him into a kiss. His hands grabbed my ass. "I want you". He growled. "Well come on". I breathe pulling him into the bathroom.
