Today was Maggie first day on the job. Harry had given her the schedule of the tour. Maggie had decided she may as well give up her apartment. She was always gonna be traveling and never gonna be at home. And who knows she may find a place she loves and would want to move there. She knocked on her landowners door. Mr. Henry was his name. She heads slow movement coming from inside. A while later the door finally opens.

"Hi Mr. Henry how are you?"
Henry gave a soft smile, his face full of wrinkles,
"I'm well, how about you Maggie."
Maggie looked down,
"Well...I have some news."

   Maggie walked into the hotel the team meeting was set in. She followed the path into the lobby where the group was sitting. Harry stood up and smiled when he saw her.
"There's the photographer," he said. Maggie returned the smile. Everyone in the group smiled at her.
"Everyone this is Maggie, Maggie this is everyone," Harry said. Maggie went around introduced herself. She met Jeff his manager, Mitch, Sarah, and a few other people.
"I'm glad another girls on the team," Sarah laughed.
Maggie smiled and they talked about the schedule and their hobbies and what they enjoyed doing in their free time. Then the meeting began. Jeff lead it for the most part, discussing travel plans, time schedules, and rehearsals. It lasted for abut and hour. Harry had sat next to Maggie. After the meeting they all ordered some drinks to celebrate. They were off to Nashville in just a few hours.
"Hey Maggie?" Harry asked.
"Yeah" she replied.
"Come with me," he waved her over to follow him. He took her around the corner,
"I need to give you something." He hands her a debit card.
"What's this?" She asked.
"A debit card you get one that you can use to buy any equipment you need it doesn't matter the price."
He said with a soft smile.
Maggie smiled,
"Really! Thank you so much!"
Then she hugged him and he hugged her back.
She pulled away blushing,
"Sorry I just can never thank you enough."
He smiled,
"Mags I'm so happy you're on the team I couldn't think of anyone better."
After that they headed back to the group and then everyone headed for the tour bus. It was a solid black color.
"What? You mean it doesn't have your face on it?" Maggie teased.
Harry laughed and shook his head,
"Sadly no we wanted to be discreet." They all loaded on the bus wow it was massive. Mitch and Sarah loaded their luggage.
"We're not gonna be able to ride going up to Nashville my great aunts on the way so we're gonna take a quick detour," Sarah explained.
"What a shame I guess we will see you later. Don't have too much fun without me," Harry said. Mitch and Sarah say goodbye to Maggie then they exit the bus.
"Where's Jeff?" Maggie asked.
"He's not a big road tripper he flew down there," Harry said,
"I guess it's just you and me."
"I guess so," Maggie smiled. Harry gave her a tour of the bus it was basically a house on wheels. Maggie's room was at the end of the hall across from Harry's. "My personal favorite is the kitchen!"
Harry exclaimed as he pointed at it.

Maggie's mouth dropped wide open. The kitchen was completely full with all sorts of snacks."I totally forgot to ask you for your favorite snacks we always have specific orders we send in." After the tour Maggie excused herself to her room to change into her pajamas. She closed the door behind her. Maggie pulled her phone out of her purse and dialed the familiar number.

The line rang for a few times until someone picked up,
"This is the Washington State Felony Prison Institute what can I help you with?"

"Hi I'm Maggie Owens, Jarred Owens daughter and I have a new job that causes me to travel. Is it possible for me to send you the states and dates I'll be there?" She asked.

The line was silent,
"I-I you said Jarred O-Owens?" The lady stuttered. "Yes ma'am," Maggie replied. Maggie heard whispering on the other end then typing. "Yes we should uh be able to work with that," the lady finally said.

"Great, I will email you the dates thank you!" Maggie said.  Then the lady hung up the phone. Maggie took a deep breath. Processing the past few days. A famous singer is right out that door waiting on her. She threw on her Christmas pjs they had reindeers all over them and a black t shirt. She decided to through her hair in a messy bun to get it off her neck. Once she's finished she walks out to find Harry sitting on the couch humming.
He turns to look at her,
"Christmas pajamas in July not gonna lie I kinda dig it."
Maggie laughed,
"I rock these all year round, I bet you can't guess what my favorite holiday is," she joked. "Hmmmm Christmas?" He said. "Bingo!" Maggie exclaimed. Harry motions for her to sit next to him.
"So have you bought any new equipment yet?" Maggie shakes her head,
"I feel bad spending money." Harry laughs then he jumps up and runs in the other room. A few  seconds later he comes back with a laptop.
"Here I'll do it with you so you'll know it's fine," he said. Maggie smirked and shook her head, "Fine." Maggie takes the laptop and goes to the website. "Well I definitely need a new camera body, multiple different types of lenses and editing platforms and probably new SD cards," Maggie exclaimed. Harry's mouth dropped,
"Really? It's not just a camera?" Maggie laughed,
"Photography is a lot more complex then what meets the eye."
They both scroll through the website for a while. Maggie looks at Harry,
"Are you sure?"
Harry smiles, "100%"
Maggie starts adding stuff to the cart with a huge grin on her face. "I cant wait!" She exclaimed. After she got everything she wanted they ordered it. By now it was getting late. They both sat on the couch. "We should all get matching pjs," Harry said.
Maggie laughed,
"That would be amazing." They talked for a while then Harry threw out an idea that they should watch a movie.
"Really the Titanic?" Maggie laughed.
"What? It's a classic," Harry exclaimed.
Maggie shakes her head,
"I'm still petty with Rose, if she had just scooted over."
They both laugh then the movie starts. They both sit with a gap in between them after about and hour in a half into the movie Maggie's eyelids grow very heavy. She tries to fight it but she's just too tired.
Maggie wakes up to a streak of sunlight in her eye. She hears someone else's breathing then suddenly realizes she fell asleep on Harry. She was laying across his chest his arm was gripped tightly around her waist. She quickly jumps up waking Harry up.

He laughed then rubbed his eyes.
"We must've fallen asleep," Maggie said.
"Yeah I guess so," Harry agreed.
"It must've been that awful movie," Maggie teased. Harry laughed,
"No I think someone was a little to tired."
All of a sudden the bus came to a stop. They had arrived at the Hotel in Nashville. They grab their luggage then head into the hotel. It's huge and looks very luxurious unlike anything Maggie had ever stayed at. When they walk in they head to the front desk. They're greeted and directed to each of their rooms. Once in her room Maggie unpacks her things. She couldn't stop thinking about the night before, she really fell asleep on him he must thinks she's so weird. She then decides to take a quick shower to freshen up. After that she decides she should go ask Harry what time they need to be at rehearsal. She walks across the hall a few doors down and knocks on the door.

She heard a muffled,
"Come in!"
She slowly opens the door,
"Harry? Sorry I just needed to ask a que-"
Maggie was cut off when Harry walks out wearing nothing but a towel around his waist.
"Hey Mags what's the question?" Maggie's face started turning bright red,
"Um I was just wondering what time I- I mean we need to be at rehearsal?"
Harry smiled,
"I'd say about 4:30, here let me get dressed then we can leave." Maggie nodded then turned around. "He's your boss. he's your boss. he's your boss,"
she muttered to herself.
Her face was still red and she knew he had seen it.
Harry comes from around the corner,
"Ready?"
Maggie nods,
"Yep I'm  r-ready!"
Then they head out the door closing it behind them.
