Always you - Remington Leith

9

The next morning we all woke up fairly early to get ready and get all our stuff into the tour bus. Both me and Elle were extremely sad to have to spend so much time apart, but she promised she would to be there for some of the shows while this tour went on. We were supposed to be on the road for about two months, which was a really long time for me since I wasn't used to any jobs like that, but there were often breaks of maybe one or two days between shows so it would give us all a chance to regenerate. I knew I was going to love it though, being with people I already knew and was extremely close with, it didn't seem awkward or hard like if you were in a completely new environment with new people.

I was just standing in the kitchen, scrolling through Instagram, while I waited for the rest of the bags to be loaded into the bus. Suddenly my phone buzzed and I saw a notification from Adam.

Morning beautiful :) make sure you have fun on the first day of tour and send me updates. I'd love to see you again if you wanna hang out some time when you're free or I could even tag along with you as you work?

I grinned at my phone, he was being so adorable. I only just met the guy and I was already smiling like an idiot whenever he messaged me. Just as I was about to type my response, the phone was pulled from my grip and I furrowed my eyebrows as I looked up at a smirking Remington.

"Give that back", I said trying to reach for my phone but he just held it above my head.

"What are you smiling at?", he asked trying to look at the screen.

I attempted to fight him and jump to grab my phone out of his hand, but he just held it in the air and looked at the screen, laughing at my attempts to get my phone back. He furrowed his eyebrows as he read the message. By this point I had given up because I knew there was no point in wasting my breath.

He scoffed as he locked the phone and shoved it back into my hands, grabbing a bottle of water as he made his way back out of the kitchen, not saying another word to me.

"fucking weirdo", I mumbled under my breath as I watched him walk outside and to the bus, chatting away with Emerson. They both then glanced back at where I was standing in the kitchen, the large window doing a very bad job at hiding me. I quickly snapped my head back down to my phone to avoid the stares.

I'd love to hang out :) I think there's a show back in LA in like a week

Great, see you then.

I smiled at my phone again as I locked it. I wasn't really used to this kind of attention from a guy, especially since my ex. After what happened with us, I'd close myself off from everyone, not wanting to socialise and communicate much. I think I'm much better now, but thinking into the past still hurts so much that I wonder if I'll ever be able to fully recover and trust someone.

I was snapped out of my thoughts as Seb walked into the kitchen, carrying a few small bags.

"Hey, were about to get going, you ready?"

"Ofcourse", I smiled, "Just gonna grab something and I'll be back"

I went upstairs to get the last few bits I didn't pack, like toothbrush and other random bits, and went outside where all the boys and Elle were waiting.

I ran up to Elle first, giving her a tight hug.

"Make sure you have fun, and tell me if anything interesting happens", she whispered while nudging me. I rolled my eyes and playfully pushed her away. Daniel then surprisingly came up to me and gave me a quick hug, which he never does.

"See ya soon little sis, I don't like you but I'll miss annoying you for a while", he said with a smile and I couldn't help but chuckle, "I'll miss you too dumbass"

Soon enough, we had all climbed into the bus and left my house.

--------------------------

We were around an hour into the journey before I started getting really hungry. I scanned the bus, wondering what the other boys were doing. I was on the couch with Emerson, Sebastian looked like he was on the phone, and I had no clue where Remington went.

"He's having a shower", I hear from beside me. I snap my head to the side where Emerson is sitting quite obviously amused. I give him a questioning look as if I've got no clue what he's talking about.

"You were looking for Rem right? He's in the shower", he repeated. How did he even know what I was thinking?

"oh uh... I was actually wondering what I could eat, I'm starving", I try to lie my way out of the situation. He looked at me as if he could see right through my bullshit. Just then, Remington walked out of the bathroom, with nothing but a towel around his waist.

I couldn't help but stare. His toned muscles and abs looked way too good at that moment in time. His tattoos scattered his body in the best way possible, and don't even get me started on that v-line. With a body like that, any girl would swoon over him.

"You're drooling", Emerson whispered with a giggle and I snapped out of my trance, slamming my mouth shut and checking for any drool. He burst out laughing and I quickly hid my face in embarrassment.

"What's so funny?", I heard Remington ask as he started coming towards us. I struggled to find any words as I looked over to Emerson for help. He just burst into another fit of laughter when he saw my glowing cheeks. Remington gave me another questioning look. I started panicking and accidentally glanced down at his toned body again, snapping my eyes back up to his as soon as I noticed what I was doing.

He chuckled, giving me a quick look up and down before turning around and going back towards the bunks at the back of the bus, muttering a quick "losers" under his breath.

I looked down at myself and noticed I was wearing nothing but extremely short shorts and a tank top. I suddenly squirmed back into my seat, glancing at Emerson who looked like he was going to laugh.

"Please tell me that didn't happen"

"Ohhh but it did", he said and I glared at him, throwing a cushion directly at his face.
