Front of the Crowd (sequel to backstage session) MachineGunKelly

chapter 40

I finished packing some stuff and put more stuff in Colson's bag. We start tour today. I smiled as Colson walked out of the shower, no towel, water dripping down his body. I bit my lip but I had to contain myself.

"All you need to do is ask". He smirked and stood in front of me.

"I want to but I can't". I said and walked to the other side of the room.

"And why not"? He asked, now behind me.

I cleared my throat. "I'm not in the mood". I lied.

He playfully rolled his eyes and grabbed a pair of boxers. "You know we're going to be on a bus for at least two months before we switch to hotels". He said.

He walked over to his side of the vanity and grabbed his cologne, spraying his neck then wrists.

"I know. Still not in the mood". I giggled and walked out of the room.

When I made it to the kitchen I seen Rook was on FaceTime with Casey.

"Hey case"! I smiled.

"Luna, look. I made rock candy". She smiled.

"Pretty cool. What flavors"? I asked.

"Strawberry and kiwi". She giggled and showed me.

"Hey little one, isn't it late"? Rook asked.

"Yeah, but mom said I could finish these. I start school tomorrow". She groaned.

"Hey highschool is important. You'll do great". I smiled.

"Yeah, but I wanna be with you guys". She wined.

Colson walked down the steps gully dressed and smiled when he seen his daughter.

"Machine Gun Casey". He smirked and grabbed the phone. "Why aren't you in bed"? He asked.

"I'm making you and Luna rock candy". She said.

Colson smiled. "My little scientist. I love you my baby". He smiled and walked away with Rooks phone.

"Are you sure you're up for this tour"? Rook asked.

I nodded and made a cup of coffee. "Colson and I agreed if I didn't want to be there I could come home. He wanted me to come".

Rook nodded. When Justin and Brandon walked in with Bobby I knew we had to leave.

"Then I'll pick you up when I'm back in the area, just remember you have tickets for the Ohio show and the Colorado one". Colson said as he walked back in.

"I know dad. Well my candy is done. I love you. Have fun". She smiled.

Colson hung up and handed the phone to Rook. "I miss that girl". He sighed.

"You got five shows before you see her. Its worth it". Brandon said.

Colson nodded and grabbed my bag. "Alright. Let's go". He said and walked off.

I shut the coffee machine off and grabbed the extra house keys with the lock box. I knew he would need this stuff. When I walked out I got into the black car with Brandon next to me.

I adjusted my seat and when Colson got in he shut the door. Washington here we come.

We got to one rest stop about two hours out from California. Rook and Brandon smoked as Colson and Justin went to grab food. I was texting Alex about the tour.

Alex:  So like, tickets to my downfall sounds great. What songs will he be playing?

Luna: not really sure. He said he added a few new ones that I'm not allowed go listen to yet. I'll get it out of  Justin eventually

Alex: well that stinks. How are you feeling anyways? Did you take any tests?

I rolled my eyes.

Luna: One, it was negative

Colson leaned into the van and I deleted the messages. He handed me a redbull and leaned over to grab the vodka from the bag.

"Really"? I asked and he shrugged.

"I'm not putting it in mine. It's for Brandon". He said and poured the redbull into another bottle with the liquor after.

When Brandon got in he handed Brandon the bottle. We knew Brandon had a drinking issue lately but he told us not to worry about it.

Rook sat next to me and Colson gave him a glare.

"Let me sit next to my wife". He said.

Rook chuckled. "Let me sit next to my tour mom. You get her 95% of the time". He said and sipped his water.

Colson rolled his eyes and sat across from me. I put my legs up on his lap, his hands playing with the heel of my boot. When Bobby and John got it we drove off quickly.

"Fuck you". Colson mumbled as he lit up his cigarette.

"Why. Because you can't sit next to her? You know I'm allowed to sit where I want". Rook smirked, putting his arm over my shoulder.

"I hope that the only bunk on the bus that's left is under me". He smirked and grabbed my leg.

"Boys". I said sternly.

Rook pulled me closer to him and I sighed. Boys will always be Boys.

"Go ahead. Keep playing". Colson said.

"I need a female figure in my life. Sophie isn't coming on this tour". Rook sighed and I was shocked.

"Shes not coming"? I asked and Colson shook his head.

"She'll be here closer to the Colorado show. She has some stuff she had to do, family wise". Colson answered.

"But I'll be the only girl". I groaned.

"Yes. Yes you will". Brandon said and took another sip of his mixed drink.

I grabbed my phone and scrolled through some stuff, distracting myself by the way Colson rubbed my legs. I glanced up at him as he gave me a wink. He took his headphones and swung them over to Rook, smacking him in the face.

"Is this gonna be the whole car ride"? I asked.

Both boys stopped as Rook laid his head on the window.

"It will be until he switches me seats". Colson mumbled.
