Dial Drunk - Post Malone

19

"Austin! Leave that girl alone for one minute and come get dressed!" Cecilia calls from the entrance of the tent. Austin breaks the kiss and looks at Cecilia from over the top of Levi's head as she frowns in confusion at him breaking the kiss suddenly. "Miss Cece is about ready to whoop my ass for wasting her time. She is shouting at me from the tent," he says. He tightens his arms around her and then dips her, her breath hitching in shock and her hand shooting out and clutching his shirt. "Wait for me, Miss Levi. I'll be back for ya," he says grinning at her. She rolls her eyes and then nods. "Bet you say that to all the boys," he says. She bites her lip and beams up at him as her shoulders shake softly. He kisses her again then lifts her back up gently, her eyes are dreamy and she looks soft.

"Damit to hell, Austin. We are not in a fucking romance novel!" Dre shouts. Austin laughs and takes Levi's hand as they walk back to the tent. Cecilia is glaring at Dre now who looks like he is sweating a little. "Real smooth," Grassy says tipping his Stetson at Austin. "Thanks for getting me into trouble," Dre grumbles. "What did I do?" Austin asks confused. "We have been married ten years Dre and you never thought that I might like to be dipped romantically like that? What the fuck is wrong with you?" Cecilia says. "Shameful, Dre..." Grassy says. "Just...just...Grassy go and do whatever it is that you do. Austin gets the fuck into the change room and Cece, baby, I bought you a house, a car, a ring, and anything else your heart desires," Dre says. "I want to be dipped, Dre," she says then spins on her heel and storms off to the dressing room.

"This is your doing, fix it," Dre says pointing a finger at Austin then stalking off as his phone rings - no doubt that's the record label. Dre is having a shit night. Austin is the cause of all his problems tonight and he feels shit about it, he will need to make it up to him. "Come on," he signs and takes Levi's hand again, heading to the change room.

Cecilia is fluffing stuff around in her annoyance which is unusual for Cecilia because she is usually very calm. "Your outfit is hanging up in that little cornered-off section. Go get dressed," she says in her huff. Levi looks at her with a worried face and Austin hates that something is bothering her. "Cece...that man loves you..." he says gently. He is not one to get involved in other people's relationships, but Cecilia and Dre have been through a lot of shit, they are a strong couple and he doesn't want to see them at odds. Being on tour is not all it's made out to be. It's not all fun and games. Long hours cooped up on a bus, working nonstop, late nights and early mornings, loose women and grabby men, booze, drugs, crazy insane moments - that's what makes up most of tour life and it's taxing on so many relationships.

"I am not stupid, Austin! I know he does!" she snaps. "Wow..." Austin says putting his hands up. Cecilia is not acting like herself. "All this over me dipping Levi for a kiss?" Austin asks. To his surprise, she sighs heavily and covers her face as she flops onto a couch. "I am sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you. My emotions are just so fucked up right now," she mumbles into her hands. Levi sits down next to her and tries to comfort her gently. "Cece...if Dre has done something..." Austin says. Fuck, what is he suggesting? Dre would never cheat on Cecilia, he loves this woman to death. But, then again, this is tour and stranger things have happened.

"I'm pregnant," she mumbles into her hands. Austin's eyes widen and he drops to his knees in front of her, grabbing her wrists and removing her hands from her face. "Cece...did I hear you right?" he whispers. She gives him a watery smile and nods. Austin can't help the smile that nearly splits his face into so he grabs her and pulls her into a tight hug while Levi watches them with a confused face. "She is pregnant, baby," he says. Levi's face lights up and she hugs Cecilia from the back. "I am so happy for you guys, Cece," Austin says finding himself a little emotional too now as they all pull back from the hug. "Dre and I have been trying to get pregnant for the last nine years. We have tried everything and finally last year we decided to stop trying. The hormone pills and tests were taking a toll on my body...it was psychological warfare too. We resigned to never having children and now...well it just happened. I have taken twenty pregnancy tests and today I snuck off to the doctor. I am pregnant and the baby is healthy," Cecilia explains to Levi who has started crying softly with her.
