The band took the stage, the roar of the crowd filling their ears. April was excited to perform one of her own songs, a track she'd written and poured her heart and soul into. As the opening chords of the song began, April took a deep breath and began to sing.

"He's got pretty long brown hair, and green eyes that look like sex,"

April sang, her eyes flickering over to Tom. He was standing nearby, his gaze locked onto her. She could feel the heat of his stare, and it sent shivers down her spine. She continued to sing, pouring all of her emotion into the lyrics.

As the song progressed, Tom couldn't take his eyes off of April. She looked amazing in her mini skirt, and he found himself getting lost in her voice and her movements on stage. The way she moved her hips, the way she sang with such passion and intensity, it was all too much for him to handle.

The rest of the band noticed Tom's fixation on April, and they couldn't help but tease him about it. Georg and Gustav exchanged knowing looks, while Bill couldn't resist making a few suggestive comments. But Tom didn't care. He was lost in April's beauty, and he couldn't take his eyes off of her.

After the show, the band went backstage to relax and unwind. Tom took the opportunity to pull April aside, wanting to spend some time alone with her. They found a quiet corner away from the others, and Tom wasted no time in flirting with her.

"You were amazing up there," he said, his eyes twinkling.

"Thanks," April replied, feeling her cheeks flush with heat. "You weren't too bad yourself."

Tom chuckled. "I try my best."

April couldn't help but notice that Tom was standing awfully close to her. She could feel the heat radiating off his body, and it made her heart skip a beat.

"So, are you doing anything later?" Tom asked, his voice low.

April shook her head. "No, not really. Why?"

Tom shrugged. "I was thinking maybe we could hang out. You know, just the two of us."

April's heart pounded in her chest. She wasn't sure if she was ready to spend time alone with Tom, but the thought was certainly tempting.

"Sure," she said, trying to sound casual. "That sounds like fun."

Tom grinned. "Great. I'll meet you in the lobby in an hour?"

April was caught off guard by Tom's advances, but she found herself enjoying the attention. She played along, batting her eyelashes and smiling coyly at him. Tom's words were like honey, and she couldn't resist his charm.

As they flirted, Tom couldn't resist the urge to give April a peck on the collarbone. It was a small, innocent gesture, but it sent a thrill through both of them. April's heart was racing as Tom leaned in, his lips brushing against her skin. She could feel the heat of his body, and it was all too much for her to handle.

But despite their attraction, they both knew that they needed to take things slow. The tour was far from over, and they didn't want to risk causing any drama within the band. So they kept things light, flirting and teasing each other whenever they got the chance.

Later that evening, April and Tom found themselves sitting on the roof of their hotel, looking out over the city lights.

"It's beautiful up here," April said, gazing out at the twinkling lights in the distance.

Tom nodded, his eyes never leaving her face. "Yeah, it is."

They sat in silence for a few moments, each lost in their own thoughts. Finally, Tom spoke up.

"Listen, April," he said, his voice serious. "I know we've been flirting a lot, but I just wanted to make sure that you know that I'm not just messing around. I really like you."

April's heart skipped a beat. She had been trying to ignore her feelings for Tom, but it was becoming increasingly difficult.

"I like you too," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Tom grinned, and before April knew it, he had leaned in and kissed her. It was a soft, gentle kiss, but it sent shivers down April's spine.

They pulled away from each other, their foreheads resting together.

"Let's take this slow," Tom said, his voice husky. "I don't want to rush things."

April nodded, her heart pounding in her chest. She wasn't sure where things were headed with Tom, but one thing was for certain – she was definitely looking forward to finding out.
