Break In The Tour

About two weeks into the tour, the band had three days off. Paul spent the first day trying to find the perfect gift for his husband. Not knowing when Tommy was arriving, he called to check on him. "Hey, baby, how are you feeling?"

"Fine! Considering the fact you left me in the hospital so you could fly off to Europe! I'm fine!" snapped the lead guitarist. "How many groupies shared your bed last night?!"

Paul hung up on Tommy and put the phone on the bed. When a knock came at the door, he yanked it open. "Gene?" You okay? How'd you get the black eye?"

"Damned moody kitty hit me because I teased him about his costume fitting tighter." admitted Gene.

"Mine accused me of sharing the bed with groupies. I swear those two are rooming together when Tommy gets here. I'll have Bruce room with Pat." grumbled Paul.

"Hell no! They'd kill each other."

Eric walked in and hugged Gene. He had been crying. "I'm so so sorry Geneie!" "I didn't mean it."

Gene pulled Eric into a hug and reassured him he wasn't mad.

"I'm sorry!" Eric cried again. "I know I'm gaining weight. I want ice cream."

Paul snorted as the two left. He called Tommy to apologize for hanging up.

Tommy was sniffling on the other end. "I'm sorry for yelling at you."

"I know, it's fine. I called to ask if you know when your plane is landing."

"No. I don't even know when we're arriving in New York."

Paul told Tommy he'd have a surprise waiting when he arrived. " I love you."

"I love you too."

After a few more minutes, Paul told Tommy he'd check in later.
