The Punk's Princess

Twenty-Four

Bosco laid awake on the tour bus, Daya's head nestled on her chest and her arms wrapped tight around her torso. The curtain of their bunk was pulled back, and she stared up at the ceiling and took a shaky breath. "You're leaving too...?"

Gigi was packing stuff into one of her bags. The tour bus was stopping at the closest airport so she could catch a flight to LA. "Last minute photoshoot for a new brand. I won't be gone too long though."

Bosco nodded a little, running her hand through sleeping Daya's hair. "Alright..."

Gigi zipped up her bag and swung it over her shoulder, giving her a sympathetic smile. "You'll be alright. Daya and the girls will always be around to keep you company."

Bosco knew that was true, but she liked having Gigi and Camden as companions. And now they were both doing cool things and she felt a bit like an outsider. "Yeah..." She whispered, looking down at her girlfriend and pulling her up a little closer.

The bus stopped, and Gigi called for Crystal quietly so she wouldn't wake up Daya or Lux. Crystal rushed over with the rest of her girlfriend's things, and Bosco watched as the two shared one of their last goodbye kisses.

Gigi turned to Bosco with a small smile. "I'll see you soon. I'm only a call away."

Bosco gave her a sleepy wave, watching as she left the bus with Crystal behind her to walk her inside. Once they were gone, she let out a sigh and closed the curtain of the bunk. Her anxious mind was already planning who was going to walk with her to the tour bus after concerts now. She hoped Maddy or maybe even Jasmine and Jorgeous wouldn't mind doing that. Images of the strange girl flashed in her mind, and she whined a little at the thought of doing anything alone.

She pulled Daya up even closer so the taller girl's head was resting in the crook of her neck. She leaned her head against hers, taking a shaky breath as a tear ran down her face. She hooked her legs over Daya's waist, holding onto her as if she was a stuffed animal.

Daya stirred when she felt a tear fall onto her forehead. She yawned and snuggled closer, pressing a kiss to the closest patch of skin. "Coco? You okay?" Her voice slurred tiredly.

Bosco held her tighter, hardly realizing she had started to cry. "I'm fine..."

Daya raised her head, frowning when seeing tears running down the smaller girl's face. "Baby..." She raised a hand to gently wipe away her tears. "What's wrong? Is there something I can do to help?"

Bosco bit her lip, not meeting her eyes. "...Kiss me...?" She whispered quietly.

Daya smiled a little. She kissed her lips softly, her thumb gently stroking her cheek. "My girl." She parted just a little to say before kissing her again. "I love you so much."

Bosco kissed her back, letting Daya melt her worries away. "I love you too..." She whispered between kisses, running her hands up through her hair to keep her close. Daya moved onto her side so she could pull Bosco to her chest.

The smaller girl let out a quiet squeak, wrapping her arms around her neck. Before her thoughts had the chance to wander again, her girlfriend was placing careful kisses agaisnt the top of her head and getting her to relax.

"I don't know what I'd do if you had to go." Daya admitted quietly as she twirled a strand of Bosco's dark hair.

Bosco looked up at her before nuzzling her head against her neck. "What do you mean?"

"I mean I'd be a wreck if you had to go like Gigi and Camden had to." Daya said, her hold on her growing more protective. "Knowing you're watching the concerts is what makes me do my absolute best every time I'm on stage. Getting to be with you puts me at so much ease, you have no idea. Tours are exhausting, but it's so worth it when I have you with me."
