I Hate You More

You Seemed Thirsty

"Remington Leith," Harlen shouted from the back of the bus, "give me my phone back. Now!"

"You hear that Gigi," I smiled at the little girl looking at me through the screen of Harlen's phone as I ran down the steps and out of the bus's door, "she's jealous because she knows the real reason you called was to talk to me."

Gianna laughed hysterically at the events unfolding in front of her. She had called Harlen almost every day that we'd been on tour, and honestly I'm surprised she wasn't more used to the shenanigans by now.

"It's ok," Gianna smiled, "and you're right but, don't tell my sister."

I didn't have a chance to respond due to Harlen tackling me into the gravel.

"Ow," I yelled trying to hide the grin on my face. I was tremendously unsuccessful, "fuck Harlen."

"Save that shit for another time." Harlen whispered with a hint of a smirk as she climbed off of me, taking her phone with her. That was kind of hot.

Ok so, maybe we had hooked up a couple times after that night in the bathroom about a week ago. We weren't telling anybody though. I mean, my brothers were convinced that we were just madly in love with each other and just in denial, which is just bullshit. I mean, even if I did want to be more than just friends with immaculate benefits with Harlen -which I didn't- she wouldn't feel the same about me. I didn't want that by the way.

"Really," I scoffed playfully, "with the child on the phone and everything?"

"What? I am not some little girl who is oblivious," Gianna whined, "besides, I don't know what you're talking about."

Her statement brought a laugh from both Harlen and I.

"Don't worry about it bugs," Harlen rolled her eyes, "I have to go for soundcheck. I love you."

"I love you too! And I miss you!" Gianna smiled and waved through the camera.

"I miss you more! Bye babe."

Harlen blew a kiss before allowing me to wave, and hanging up the phone.

"What?" She asked after a moment of silent.

I didn't realize that I was staring.

"Nothing ," I chuckled, "it's just- we have like half an hour til soundcheck."

My shrug was meant to come off as nonchalant but, I don't think that worked due to the scoff, and eye roll Harlen let out.

"Are you trying to ask me to have sex with you?" She smirked.

"Maybe," I smiled innocently, "is it working?"

There was a minute of silence as she opened the back door to the venue but, as we walked down the hall she spoke again before breaking off in her own direction.

"Meet me in the bathroom in two minutes."

"What song is that?" Sebastian asked as he threw his guitar strap over shoulder.

I shrugged, and stopped humming, "I don't know. I don't think it is one. I've just had a melody stuck in my head all day."

"Uh oh," Emerson grinned, "we've barely finished our second album. Are you already starting our third?"

I rolled my eyes playfully, "No. I get random shit stuck in my head all the time. Sometimes I even come up with a couple of lines but, I've never given it enough time to develop into anything real."
