Chapter 56

- April 22nd 1976 -

Y/N's POV

We were back in Scotland now. We were both trying to situate out our work lives. Alan wanted to start working on some music on his own which is something he had been discussing with some people. He has been interviewed a couple of times and is trying to sign a record deal for himself for right now. He is working on writing some songs of his own though in the meantime. I have been working as always which never changes. The work I do just changes day to day.

"I think it is nice to be able to almost hopefully have a record deal," Alan said.

"I am so proud of you my love. I think the idea of a record deal is going to be a lot of fun for you," I said.

"It's like I know I can sing but trying to get the courage to do it on my own," he said.

"And you are doing so good with it my love," I said as I kissed his cheek.

"You are kind of one of the reasons I am able to do this," he said with a bit of a smile.

"I am hoping to help you in any way I can you know that," I said.

"I know my love. You are my biggest supporter and of course so is Derek but he has his own music career to worry about right now," he said.

"They seem to be having a lot of fun on the tour," I said.

"Oh for sure. Derek said him and the guys are going to try and pick out some post cards for us," he said.

"Did you talk to him last night?" I asked.

"Yeah, he called right after the show when they got back to the hotel room," he replied.

"So the show went good last night?" I asked.

"Oh yeah he said they had a lot of fun. They are excited for all of the rest of the dates coming up as well," he said.

"Well that is always a good thing," I said.

"I know," he said as he sat down on the bed.

I sat down beside him.

"Today seems to have been a long day already," I said.

"Well you were at work all day and of course I was trying to discuss things with people," he said.

"We have both been kept busy which is always a good thing," I said.

"Do you have work tomorrow?" he asked.

"Yes, I have the same hours as I did today," I said.

"So you will be open to doing something after you are out of work?" he asked.

"If it is with you of course my love," I said.

"Perfect then," he replied as he kissed my cheek.

"What time it is it right now?" I asked.

"About 5 I think," he said.

"Mmm we have some time before we have to make dinner," I said.

Alan pulled me down onto the bed and into his arms.

"You wanna cuddle before dinner?" I asked with a bit of a chuckle.

"What do you think?" he asked as he pecked my lips.

"I think it is something we should do," I said with a giggle.

"Good and we can talk about life a little bit then," he said.

I laid my head on his chest and looked at him.

"What do you want to talk about?" I asked.

"I think we should talk about where we see ourselves next year at this time," he said.

"I think we are going to be doing the same thing but maybe be a little bit further in life," I said.

"We are going quick in life," he said.

"I know," I said.

"I wonder if I am going to be a successful solo artist," he said.

"I know you are going to be a successful solo artist. I am so proud of how far you have come in being proud of yourself," I said.

"At times it is kind of hard to be proud of myself but having you around is so much easier to look at myself in a positive light," he said.

"You deserve to have people proud of you and we all are," I said.

"And my confidence levels have gone up too. I feel like I can do anything," he said.

"I know I can do anything as long as I am with you," I said.

"Mmm same here," he said as he smiled slightly.

"Mmmm that smile," I said.

"Your favorite thing huh?" he asked.

"Always," I said as I pecked his lips and smiled.

"I wonder how the guys are doing out there right now," he said.

"I am sure they are having a lot of fun. And I know Derek is going to be telling us all about it," I said.

"Oh I know he will. Whether it is all at once when they get back or on random phone calls in the next few days," he said.

"I think it is nice how our house is coming along," I said.

"I am glad we changed our mind about renting a house. I do feel back we canceled but it was for the best," he said.

"I know and it is quite nice for our budget," I said.

"I know we get to add more things to the house at this point," he said.

"I am so grateful to be able to design this house with you," I said.

"Me too. This is going to be the house of our dreams," he said.

"You don't hear about a lot of people designing houses now days," I said.

"I know and I am so glad it is near the farm," he said.

"Me too. The horseys and animals will be so close to us always," I said.

"We need to pop out there later?" he asked.

"Or in the morning would be fine too," I said.

"That works too," he said with a chuckle.

I kissed his nose and laid my head back on his chest. His arms wrapped around me.

"I like spending these hours with you like this," I said.

"Me too. They are the most calm of the times we have," he replied with a smile.

"You know you should let me hold you tonight when we fall asleep," I said.

"Fineee," he replied with a chuckle.

"Do you wanna start thinking about dinner?" I asked.

"We should," he replied.

To another evening figuring out life with my love.
