Theirs- Completed

Chapter Twenty One

It had been a solid day of driving and then we'd needed a lazy day to recover. I say that like I did any of the driving. I hadn't, despite my constant demanding, they'd all refused to let me. I had been moved every 6ish hours from boy to boy. Them all complaining when it wasn't their turn next. Robbie was the most pissed, getting me for the last few hours of the journey whilst Bailey drove. He was annoyed we'd made him go last but the boys just kept saying they didn't want him to say something to piss me off again which sent him on another apologetic rant and made us all laugh. 

Aiden and Luke had taken one for the team, agreeing to share a room for the rest of tour so I got my own room. Which was handy for when I had to work. Erica was just going to message me things she needed me to do. Back office stuff with the occasional meeting I could join virtually. Now we were stood in the first stadium, meeting everyone, being shown how they were putting the final touches together by the band manager, Jasmine. I'd met her hundreds of times before, I could probably class her as a friend. I mean we hugged when I got out into the stadium and she screamed, running straight to me like a teenager. 

"And these are the lighting guys." She smiled and the 4 boys stood up. "You guys will know, Ben, Adam and Steve from last time. Will is the newbie. He started as an apprentice on one of my other tours and smashed it so I thought he could come here as a fully fledged tech." He smiled at me. Mmm. Maybe this tour was going to be a little more exciting than I thought. I looked down as my phone rang with Erica's face. 

"It's Erica. I need to take this." I gently put my hand on Robin's arm as I turned around and answered, earphones in. "Trouble." 

"Hi Lil, Just a qu- Who the hell is that?" I looked in the camera as I moved away from them, watching Will staring at me as the guys chatted with the other techs. I raised my eyebrows at Erica who just started laughing. "Get it girl. Those tattoos. God, I'd let him." 

"All right Erica. Keep it in your pants." I chuckled. "What's up?"  I stopped when I was far enough away, turning so I was facing the group so she wasn't distracted.

"Oh. The Spellman account. Did you manage to edit the website photos?" 

"Shit. Not yet. I'll grab my laptop and do it now." 

"No it's fine Lil. I'll do them." 

"Haz is there?" He poked his head in and waved, I smiled softly. "Hello trouble. Behaving?" 

"No. I set your office on fire." 

"Wouldn't put it past you." I smiled. "Don't go breaking any of the office girls hearts will you, I'll come back and break your face if you do." 

"No one from the office. I have been instructed." He looked at Erica who raised an eyebrow. "How's it going?" Erica chuckled. 

"Fine yeah. It might be interesting. I'll see." I looked back at Erica. "I'll grab my laptop from my bag in a few and edit them for you. How many do you need?" 

"Don't even think about it Lil. We've got them. Can you do her logo for us though? Need it by Thursday." 

"Yep. Anything else?" 

"No." She turned to Harry. "Can you get Shelby to put any logo stuff together and send it to Lil. Anything digital wise send it over to her." She went silent for a few moments before the door closed. "How's it going with Robin? Any better?" 

"Yeah we're fine. Good as new. I'm not crushing really now but he's been off since we got here. I am thinking of doing something stupid." She glared at me. "Okay I may have already done something stupid." 

"What have you done?" 

"I may have gotten Sophia to come and join tour." 

"You're fucking joking Liliana?" I grimaced. "Are you stupid?" 

"No. I just feel so bad. I promised him I'd try and what proves that more than asking her to come. It might be the push we both need to actually talk properly and spend sometime together. We could be friends if I tried hard enough. Plus he said he spoke to her about it all. I don't know. I'm going in with an open mind. She gets here in a few hours. New start for us. I'm just going to take it as it comes and if needs be, I'll tell her about the ED and if she still carries on then I'll come home and he can't say I didn't try right?" She rolled her eyes. "I just want them all to be happy Erica. That's it. That's why I'm here in the first place." 

"Yeah I know." 

"Sorry, I just need-" I looked up, clinging to the phone tight. 

"Sorry." I moved to the left quickly and he leaned, grabbing a bottle of water from the bag where I had been stood. "Okay. Anything else Erica?" 

"No that's it. Don't do anything or anyone, I wouldn't." 

"Funny. I'll get that logo over to you tonight." I rolled my eyes and hung up, setting a reminder on my phone for a few hours during the day so I wouldn't forget. I can not let them fall behind on stuff whilst I'm out here. 

"It's Lilly right?" 

"Hm?" I looked up. "Sorry. Yeah Lilly, Lil, Ana. They have like a whole list of nicknames for me." He smiled, leaning against the stage behind him. "Will right?" 

"Yeah." I nodded, crossing my arms and looking around awkwardly. "You're new to this aren't you?" I raised an eyebrow. "Tour." 

"Oh, yeah. First one." 

"Have you been with him long? Robin is it?" I laughed. 

"We're not together. I'm the bands best friend." He raised an eyebrow. "Me and Robbie have been friends since we were 3." 

"Oh wow." I nodded. "Sorry, I got the wrong impression." 

"Nah, don't worry, you're not the only one. He's got a girlfriend that is not me. Tall, brunette, her names Sophia. She'll be here later." He nodded. 

"Was that your boyfriend on the phone then?" 

"Also no. My boss and a colleague." 

"Ah." 

"She's as single as it gets." Jasmine walked past winking at me. I glared at her which just made her chuckle as she took a phone call. 

"Are you here for the full tour?" He stood up straight, crossing his arms as he did. I could feel the boys staring him down which made me chuckle. "We could hang out at some point." 

"I'm here for half of it." He smirked. "I don't think I'm your type anyway." 

"Oh no?" He moved closer a few steps and I had to fight against myself blushing. "And what do you think my type is?" 

"Not me." I looked down at my phone noting the email with all my work coming through. Perfect timing Shel. I'd dropped my bag at the top of the stage where we started looking around. That's where my laptop was and where I needed to be. Okay. Pace yourself Lil. He's hot but we're not going to make this easy for him. Make him work for it, keep him intrigued. He chuckled and I slowly took a few steps forward towards the stage, pulling myself up onto it beside him in a swift movement. 

"I think that's where your wrong." He turned his head, not moving his body but looking at me. I flicked my hair to one side and smirked at him. 

"No I think that's where I'm right." I stood up. "Nice talking to you Will. See you around." I turned and walked slowly over to my bag, running my hand through my hair as I let out a deep breathe. God. This was going to be interesting. I looked up at the boys as I sat down on the empty stage and pulled my laptop out. Bailey shook his head as Luke and Aiden just laughed. Robin had his arms crossed staring at Will. What was his problem now? I raised an eyebrow at Bailey he shoved Robin and shrugged his own shoulders. Robbie looked up at me, smiling softly. No me neither Bailey. I didn't have a clue either.
