Dance Alone To The Beat of Your Heart

Chapter 36

                                                                                    (Pete's POV) 

  We are in Europe for the UK/Europe leg of tour. We are opening this leg in Poland. It is special for us. Poland is one of our favorite places to visit and play. 

  "Its colder than last time we were here." Patrick says. 

  "We haven't been here in a while but yes." I give him my jacket. 

  He puts it around his shoulders. "Thank you." 

  "You're welcome." I say. 

  We decided to spend a couple of extra days in Warsaw. It's a great city. I'm lucky to have this experience. 

  "The last time we were here, we had Bronx with us." He says. 

  "Yup. Now its just the two of us." I state. 

  "Yes. Have anything planned for us?" He asks. 

  "I might have something up my sleeve." I state. 

  "How about you lead the way?" He asks. 

  I take his hand. "Sure." I lead the way to where the first surprise is. 

  "You didn't need to do this." He says. 

  "I wanted it to though. I can't give you the world because you are my world." I say as I sit down. 

  "You are so cheesy. I love you. Thank you for this." He says. 

  "I love you too." I state. 

  "This is beautiful." he states. 

  "Yes it is. You're more gorgeous." I say. 

  "Thank you Petey. You are incredible. How did you pull this off?" He asks. 

 "I can be very persuasive." I smile at him. 

  "That's true. It's how I'm now a vocalist and still in the band." he says. 

  "True. I am so grateful that you did." I state. 

  "We wouldn't be where we are if I didn't stay." He says. 

  "You mean married or?" I ask. 

  "I mean we wouldn't be putting our eighth album out. I'm pretty sure we'd still be married." He says. 

  "You're right. You and I are a powerful duo." I squeeze his hand. 

  "We are." He agrees. 

  "And we wouldn't have without you." I say. 

  "no because we're a team. All four of us." He says. 

  We finish eating. We start to go for a walk. It is beautiful here. We get to spend time to really enjoy the city. We rarely have time for that on show days. 

  We get back to the hotel. I start to change into my boxers. "You going to join me?" I ask. 

  He changes. "Yes of course." 

  "not in the mood for that tonight though." He says. 

  "Neither am I. I want to cuddle my husband." I state. 

  He cuddles into my side. "You look great." 

  "Yeah so do you." I kiss him. 

  He turns on the TV. "Any specific movie you want to watch?" I answer. 

"Cool." He chooses a movie. 

  We relax and start to doze off for the night. 

  I wake up the next morning to Patrick kissing me. I kiss him back. "Good morning to you too." 

  "Morning. How'd you sleep?" He asks me. 

 "I slept well. Did you?" I answer. 

  "Very well." He answers. 

  "That's good. As much as I would love to, we have somewhere to be." I state. 

  "Ah yes soundcheck." He pouts, getting off of me. 

  "Uh huh." I say as I get dressed. 

  He starts to get dressed. "Yeah come on." 

  "I'm coming." I say. 

  We head off to soundcheck. It's going to be a great day. I can feel it. 

  "Ready?" Joe asks. 

 "Are you?" Andy asks. 

  "Yes of course I am." Patrick says. 

  "Same." I say. 

  We start our soundcheck for tonight. This set list is one of my favorites. I can't wait to play it. 

  "Yes." We all agree. We go out and play through parts of it. I am excited for tonight. 

  The show went off without a hitch. I'm so proud of Patrick and myself. I'm excited for more.
