"Hey that last note was awesome, guys! Mark could you come with me into the kitchen please, mate? I need to do something, Amy you don't mind me and Mark going for a bit do you?" Steven shouted through the din of Mark beating his drums and Tom mindlessly playing his bass. Mark got up, head almost touching the garage ceiling, and walked out of the garage with Steven to the kitchen. Tom looked over at Amy and smiled when their eyes met,
"Y'alright, Amy? Are you enjoying this practice set?" Tom asked as he strummed his bass,
"Yes, it's great, as always! I still can't believe you did a Derbyshire tour last week, it's so surreal!" Amy admitted as she got up and walked over to Tom,
"Aye that's true, it's mad to think we did our first tour just a few days ago..." Tom replied dreamily. The tour had gone brilliantly, even if Steven was very nervous for the first few dates, they pulled through and Amy was there to see every show. The school had given Steven and Amy permission to take 2 weeks off to tour with LostAlone around major towns in Derbyshire. Even though Steven had told Mr. Marvin that they weren't going to take the band seriously until they left school, they did, and Mr. Marvin wasn't too bothered, in fact he went to a couple of shows with Amy as they were free of charge because Amy was Steven's girlfriend. "Being a band member's girlfriend has its perks!" Mr Marvin said on their way back to a hotel after his first LostAlone gig. Steven, Tom, Mark and Amy all shared a family room, Tom and Mark in the two single beds and Steven and Amy in the double bed; Mr. Marvin wasn't worried at all; he kept saying "oh they're so trustworthy and sensible". So Amy and Steven agreed to keep their trust with Amy's father by 'keeping it clean' every night on the tour, they just lay in bed together while Steven wrapped his arms around Amy and they fell asleep instantly, probably because Steven had put so much energy into every show. On the last night of the tour, Amy and Steven had a little 'celebration' in their hotel room that included wine from the mini bar, they woke up the next morning wearing just their underwear and were wrapped in amongst the sheets with the duvet chucked on the floor and splitting headaches, but when Mark and Tom wandered in the room wearing t-shirts and their boxers they burst out laughing trying to keep straight faces; they had been watching what they were doing that night when they peered through the gap in the door.
"You were literally having goes at downing the bottle and then you started jumping up and down on the bed in your underwear, we thought you were drunk but when you started singing 'Hakuna Matata' to each other while Steven was lying upside down off the end of the bed we obviously didn't realise exactly how drunk you were!" Tom had laughed with Mark at Amy and Steven over the hotel's breakfast table while Mr. Marvin was getting teas and coffees from the breakfast bar.
"But we were touched when you two lay in each other's arms and started telling each other stories as you drifted off to sleep..." Mark added as he saw Amy blushing in embarrassment.
"The tour was amazing, Tom! Thank you for letting me be a part of it" Amy replied to Tom in the bright garage, there was no need for a light in there as the February afternoon sun was beaming in through the garage doorway,
"No problem, I'm glad you could come" Tom answered sweetly, he put his bass down and walked around to stretch his legs after an hour of intense practising; they were playing at Tom and Mark's school and Steven and Amy's school on the Wednesday and Thursday lunch times as payment for skipping 2 weeks to tour. Tom stood in front of Amy and put his foot on a drum case and he stuck his bottom out as he tied his shoe lace, he stood up again and breathed heavily as he put his arms up behind his head and stretched for a few minutes. His t-shirt lifted up slightly as he did and revealed pale skin and dark brown hairs that went up to his bellybutton, Amy saw this and averted her eyes quickly but she gasped when Tom came over to her and smiled devilishly and winked. "So... what do you wanna do?" he asked,
