Tell Me You Love Me

Chapter 19: Oath To You

~~Ross' P.O.V~~

It's been exactly seven weeks and two days since we left, meaning that there was only five more days until the tour was over. I couldn't wait for that day to come. That day where I'd finally see Ash again. We've texted, talked on the phone, and Face Timed, but none of that could compare to the feeling of actually being next to her. Aside from the part about Ashley, the tour was awesome! Just a few hours ago tonight we were playing a concert in a city in Norway. Even though it wasn't exactly a part of Europe, Dad still booked us due to the large fan base there. The plane trip there was long, but we got through it. The best part about going was the meet-and-greet because the fans there were really awesome. Sadly we had to cut it short if we wanted to get through the concert and make our flight to the next city.

The next city was Paris; the city of love *wink, wink*. We boarded the plane last night and were still on the long flight. I sat next to Rocky, who sat between Rydel and I. He's been asleep...and drooling on my shoulder... ever since we started this damn flight. Excuse my language, but as much as I loved planes, I couldn't take anymore of being trapped next to Mr. Drools over here. There's only one thing that could make this all better, and that's seeing the girl that I love. I whipped out my iPhone and tapped on the video chat app. I plugged my headphones in as I patiently waited for her to pick up. Several seconds later I got an answer. "Hi!" Ashley cheerfully exclaimed after her face appeared on the screen.

"Hey babe!" I replied. I wasn't exactly sure if we were a couple, but it felt right to call her that.

"How are you?" she asked.

"Um, other than the fact that Rock over here is drooling a pool on my shoulder, I'm pretty good. You?"

She giggled before replying, "I'm good, and sorry about that. Anything I can do from nine thousand miles away?"

"Actually, it's ten thousand miles, and no. I'm good. Seeing your pretty face is enough to make things all better."

"Aww, thanks smarty pants." I softly chuckled at her response. "You know, I really miss you." Ashley stated, getting a bit serious.

"I miss you too." Things grew quiet as we took in the moment. "But there's only a few more days left of touring." I cheerfully exclaimed trying to lighten up the mood a little.

"That's true. Hey, maybe when you guys get back, we can head to the park and my team can kick your team's butt again."

"Oh, how funny, that's not going to happen again. And it was your fault that we lost that first game."

"What! What did I do?"

"You distracted me." I replied.

"Well it's not my fault that you couldn't get enough of this." she said, gesturing to herself.

I laughed, "Yeah, that's exactly what it was." Ash joined in my laughter, and pretty soon we were giggling like fools. I guess my laughing drew someone's attention, because next thing I knew my headphones were being pulled out of my ears and my phone was taken. I looked around to catch he verdict; of course, it was Rydel.

"Hi Ash!" she exclaimed into the device. The two girls conversed for quite some time. After about five minutes I felt my eyelids start to fall. "Hey Ross!" Rydel said as she poked my arm.

"Hmm." I mummbled, half asleep.

"Here's your phone back, Ash wants to say goodnight." I opened my eyes a bit and took my phone back.

"Hey sleepyhead." Ashley smiled once I turned the screen to myself.

"I'm not sleepy."

"Ross, your a bad liar. Now go to sleep."
