I Know Your Scared Of The Unknown

Chapter 46

Sophie's POV

"Austin, we are going to be gone for two months and you're telling me that two suitcases are going to be enough!? We aren't all like you who has a shit ton of clothes available to them whenever we want" I laughed as I sat Indian style on the ground, both of my large black suitcases opened up on either side of me, both of them stuffed to the brim with clothes and shoes as I looked up at him skeptically.

"Angel, I promise you two bags is going to be more than enough. No matter where we stay we will have a place to wash our clothes so there is no need to pack an outfit for every single day" he laughed, kicking up the top of both of my suitcases with his foot as they fell closed with a small thud.

"You better be right, if I run out of clothes or don't have something to wear that lives up to the Posty image it is going to be all your fault" I said, crossing my arms over my chest as I turned my head up and away from him.

"You're going to look fantastic as you always do Sophie, there is really nothing to worry about" he laughed as he crouched down in front of me, his left arm dangling off of his left thigh as his right index finger gently pushed my chin back to face him. "Are you done being mad at me now angel?" he asked with a smirk as I slowly opened my eyes one by one to look at him.

"Fine I guess," I said, rolling my eyes at him as he held both of his hands out for me pulling me to my feet as we immediately wrapped our arms around each other, his hand running softly up and down my back as he placed a warm kiss that melted into the top of my head.

"You nervous Sophie?" he asked, my heart fluttering that he picked up on the exact emotion that was coursing through my veins like lava.

"Extremely" I laughed, pulling away from him just slightly as I looked up at him, his crystal blue eyes melting with mine as he placed a chaste kiss on my lips.

"I promise that we will talk about this, but I want to wait until we are on the plane... that way you have no way of backing out" he laughed, my jaw dropping as he pulled me in close to him. "I'm just joking baby girl, but seriously I promise we will talk about this on the plane okay?" he said pushing my hair behind my ear. I nodded my head at him as he placed a soft kiss on my forehead before returning to the task of packing his own suitcases.

A few minutes later he grabbed both of mine as he wheeled them out to the kitchen, coming back for his own as he did the same thing all while I sat and started to think about everything that was coming up, knowing that this time when we left it wasn't just going to be Sophie and Austin. It was going to be Sophie, Posty and the rest of the world and that was an adaptation that I was hoping I would be able to get used to.

"You ready to go baby girl?" I heard Austin ask as he walked up behind me, his hands lacing with mine from behind as he placed a gentle kiss on my neck.

"I'm ready to go and lay back down in that bed with you, pulling the covers over us and hiding until everyone else leaves" I laughed as I heard him chuckle softly against my ear.

"I can't deny that I would love that more than anything too baby girl, but unfortunately we have a jet to catch" he said, sadness hanging heavy in his tone as his lips pulled away from my skin.

I pulled my hands away from his, turning around to face him as I let out a small sigh followed by a small smile as I just barely nodded my head. "Then, ready as I'll ever be" I said to him as he wrapped his arm around my waist and walked with me towards the Denali that was waiting to take us to SLC Airport.

We climbed into the back of the Denali that was already occupied with Dre, Jay and Adam in the back, the only two seats left in the middle for myself and Austin. I rode in silence as I listened to the four boys excitedly discuss life on tour and how they couldn't wait to get back on the road again, being off for two weeks was too long for them. I listened to them telling stories of failed hook-ups for members of the team, crazy fan encounters for Austin and times when Austin was so drunk that they had to delay the start of the show until he sobered himself up.
