Eventually, the boys left Toronto to finish their tour. Which was hard because I just got them back, and now I had to say goodbye again. It was a short goodbye, mostly because I was seriously avoiding Ben, and Aaron and I couldn't talk to each other without laughing about the kiss. But once they were gone, I missed them. Of course, I called Aaron as soon as I could no longer see the bus.
"We're two blocks away." Aaron laughed, answering the phone.
"I miss you already." I told him.
"You're adorable, Jess." He laughed. "Also, don't cry."
"I'm not!" I said, my voice cracking. I was going to cry, I could tell. "I just miss you."
*Two Month Time Lapse*
"YOU'RE BACK!" I screamed, running to Aaron as soon as he stepped off the tour bus.
Aaron pulled me into a hug, holding me against his chest. "I'm back."
Once Aaron finally let go of me, I hugged each of the other guys, Jon, Ian and then Ben. Ben and I hadn't really spoken much, we'd had quick conversations over text but nothing serious. I'd come to terms with the fact that I did have feelings for Ben, but I still refused to act on it.
"You look great." Jon smiled at me. "Red hair suits you."
"Thank you." I smiled back at Jon. "Now all of you better like the food I made."
"You actually cooked for us?" Aaron asked, looking completely floored.
"Did you think I'd just order a pizza?" I asked.
"Maybe." The four of them mumbled.
"Fuck you, then!" I laughed. "I'll never cook again."

"So, what have you been up to these past couple months?" Jon asked after we'd finished eating.
"My job, mostly." I responded. "Massaging people, studying, more massaging."
"We need to take you on your with us." Ian laughed. "A personal massage therapist would be perfect."
"I don't think living on a bus with four guys is on my to-do list." I told the group. "Sweaty, smelly, guys. No thanks."
"I thought you liked us!" Aaron pouted.
"I love you guys, but traveling on a bus for 4-6 months isn't appealing to me. I like having a home." I told Aaron. "Also, massaging a person on a moving bus would be quite the difficulty."
"Fine, we'll let you stay here." Ian fake pouted. "But when I destroy all my muscles and am out of the job, I'm living on your couch!"
"I'll move away!" I laughed. "You'll never find me!"
"You two are weird." Jon smiled at us. "So, do you have a new boyfriend yet, Jess?"
Ben immediately looked up staring at me.
"No." I said quietly. "I do not."
"Why not?" He asked again.
"I just don't care much for a relationship right now."
"Ah, I see." Jon smiled.
"So, you guys are doing warped this summer?" I brought up.
"Indeed, we are." Ian responded.
"Excited?" I asked.
"Not as much now that I don't get a personal massage therapist."
"Aw, sucks." I stuck my tongue at him.
"Uh, is that a piercing?" Aaron asked.
I totally forgot I'd never told Aaron that I pierced my tongue while he was away. I pulled my tongue back in my mouth and smiled wide at Aaron.
"Quite possibly."
"Jess, why would you stab a piece of metal through your tongue of all places?" Aaron asked, his voice taking on a serious tone though I knew he was probably kidding.
"Well, they have these vibrating tongue rings now and I heard it feels really good when you give another person oral soo." I winked at him.
Ian and Jon both burst into fits of laughter. And Ben laughed slightly at my comment, Aaron didn't look pleased with me at all.
"You didn't actually get that to benefit who ever you're sucking off did you?"
"Dude, I could be licking pussy! Why do you assume I'd only be sucking someone off?" I giggled. I knew he didn't like when I brought this stuff up... Especially when he was in his Daddy Aaron mode.
"Jesslyn Anastasia!" He shouted.
I jumped slightly and the room went silent.
"Don't talk about your sex life like this, you paint yourself in a bad light." He said softer.
"Aaron, I'm kidding and at least two of the four of you have seen me completely naked."
Eyes began to glance around the table. They all knew that one was Ben... But Jon too had seen me naked, due to the lack of knocking done when he'd shown up at my house once.
"Who else got to see her?!" Ian yelled.
"I saw her." Ben raised his hand above his head. "Also, her nipples are pierced too."
"For fuck sakes!" I snapped at Ben.
"Okay, we already knew him, who's the second guy?"
"Me." Jon said quietly.
"You lucky fuck!" Ian smacked him playfully in the shoulder.
Aaron just shook his head at the entire group of us.
