Ivan's POV
I took Alex back to my place and we decided to go swim in the pool.

"I don't have a swimsuit, Ivan !"
Alex laughed as I picked her up.
"You don't need one doll, you're already wearing sexy clothes underneath. " I teased while removing her t shirt.

"Fine " she laughed as I removed mine, "it's just us doll" I said as I heard my phone ring.
I saw it was Zoltan, "you're not dead ?" I asked "What no!!
I'm calling to tell you that Alex's phone is here .
So do you guys want to come pick it up ?" He asked as I saw Alex looking for.......probably her phone in her bag.

"Yeah where are you guys ?"

"We're at Dave and Buster's so let's all get dinner here !!" He says in excitement as I grabbed my shirt off the floor.
"Alright we'll see you guys soon"

"Okay Ivan, see ya then, buddy bye."

I hung up with Zoltan to go tell Alex what our plans were for the rest of the day.

"Hey Alex,
Zoltan called and said you left your phone on our bus. So I told him we'd meet him for dinner tonight and pick up your phone ."

"Oh thank God, I totally forgot about texting my Mom and my roommates and like a hundred other things!!" She said putting on a black skin tight t shirt and jeans.

"Good to know it's with Zoltan though, he won't look at it. "

"There's nothing on it that I wouldn't want him seeing, but at least he's not a blabbermouth. " she jokes and grabbed her backpack.
"Ready hon ?" I asked as she took my hand and we headed out .

We road there on my harley again and blasted whatever rock song that was on kilo, yep both of us are metalheads if you haven't noticed.

Once we arrived I saw Chris's truck parked next to Zoltan's sports car.
I pulled up beside their cars before Alex and I got off my bike.

"Whatcha hungry for doll ?" I asked wrapped my arm around her waist,
"Mmm good question, I'll just have anything cause I'm starving " she laughed as we stepped inside.

"HEY THERE THEY ARE !!" Chris yelled as he hugged us both.
"Hey buddy "
"Hi Chris!" Alex and I said as he lead us over to his and Zoltan's table.
"My love birds " he says standing up to hug us, "you better stop that Zoltan" I joked before we all sat down.

"Okay I ordered a twenty piece of chicken tenders"
Zoltan says sipping his coca cola.

"Oh thank God cause I'm starving " Alex said again making us laugh, "what ?" She asked laughing with us.

"Ivan did you hide her in the basement or something HAHA, why is she so hungry ?" Chris asked laughing so hard.

"No! This little gal is a foodie " I wrap my arm around her shoulder as Zoltan excused himself to go grab the order.

"I forgot my hand sanitizer, be right back "

"Let me go with you " I stood up,
"Ivan it's okay, I just left it with the bike. I'll be right back. " Alex kissed my cheek and quickly ran outside.

"So Ugh Ivan,
Did I mention what Chris said the other night ?" Chris asked me.

"I really don't give a f*ck anymore Chris, I'm just going with the punches. " I said taking a sip of my ice tea.

"No I get it but I think I may have over heard him talking to the airlines the other day. "

I froze and look him in the eyes,
"What did he say ?"

"Well from what I heard, he said he wanted to schedule a flight for Chicago, and it sounded like it was for next month. "
Chris explained

"Alex is from Chicago, that's what that mother f*cker is doing!" I was getting angry.

"Hey hey, it's gonna be fine buddy Okay. Let's just talk about this later ?"
I only agreed to that because Alex and Zoltan came back to the table with us.

"I thought twenty wasn't enough so I asked for a second order, that gives us fourty tenders woooo !" Zoltan cheered sitting beside Chris and Alex back at my side.

"Alright dig in guys " Chris past a plate to Me and Alex to share while he and Zoltan did the same.

We laughed and talked about our craziest moments on tour while Alex told us about some of her childhood stories too.

The four of us felt like family, like we knew each other from the beginning .
We're all very similar and have the same love for the things we care about most .

An hour later we went to play some games.
Alex and Zoltan played a military game while Chris and I played basketball .

That went on for a half hour before everyone was ready to head back home.

"Oh Alex, here's your phone " Zoltan hands her the phone right before he and Chris waved goodbye.
That just left Alex and I here alone.

I was drinking another ice tea when I heard Alex come walking down towards me .

"There she is " I smiled as she walked her beautiful self over to me.

"I had a great time tonight Ivan, thank you so much. " she says rubbing my back .

"Good doll I'm glad, just one last thing before we leave." I said standing to my feet.

"What's that ?"

"I owe you a dance "
That's when the instrumental part of Jolene by Dolly Parton started to play.

"Ivan, you don't owe me-

"Sssshhhh, I want to " I wrapped my arm around her waist as she lyed her head on my shoulder.

We slowly swayed to the song in a comfortable silence.

I adored this moment so much that it made me so sad to think of what it would be like to be standing here without her .
I then thought about what Chris had told me at the table, and that really caught my attention.

If Chris tries to take Alex back to Chicago, I'm seriously gonna kill em.

I was getting so wrapped up in my thoughts that I didn't notice Alex trying to get my attention .

"Hymm ?"

"I was just saying that I think we should do something fun tonight ?"
She asks with a cute smile.

"Definitely, we definitely should.....
Wanna go home ?"

And now we were on our way back to my house..............
