The Road (Sequel to 'The Way We Were') [Denis Stoff, Denis Shaforostov, Asking Alexandria]

Vivian-  

"So Vivian, what kind of work are you in?" Kir asked.

"I am a doctor in the ER." I smiled.

"So you're brilliant?" He smiled. "I bet you see some pretty gnarly shit every day."

"You wouldn't even begin to imagine it. That's actually how I reconnected with Denis. This idiot ended up in the ER after a show and I had to stitch him up." I laughed.

"He was always so daring on stage." Kir chuckled.

"It's true, you put on a good show Denis. Always losing your inhibitions, it's fun yet scary to watch." I laughed.

"What's so scary about it?" He cocked his eyebrow.

"You are intimidating. It's hard to believe the man jumping into the crowd and encouraging circle pits, and climbing scaffolding is the same man who is such a softie." I smiled.

"I'm not soft, just soft with you." He kissed the tip of my nose.

"Aren't you all adorable. It's strange seeing you so affectionate Denis." Kir chuckled. "He wouldn't date anybody while he was here."

"She's the only one for me." He smiled.

"When he got that owl tattoo for you I thought it was crazy." Kir chuckled.

"It's my favorite thing in the world." I smiled, touching it lightly.

"I'm getting her name added to it while we are here actually." Denis smiled.

"You guys are really serious." Kir nodded.

We both nodded as the waiter brought the check.

"So how is Asking doing?" Kir asked.

"Amazing. Our new album comes out next week." Denis smiled.

"And I heard you all are touring?" Kir asked.

Denis nodded.

"Yeah in America and the UK."

I had forgotten about the tour and how soon it was. The fact that he was leaving almost immediately when we returned home made me sad.

"You stoked man?"

"Super stoked. It's gonna be sick." Denis smiled.

As they chatted about touring I couldn't help but let my mind wander.

What was going to happen to us?

The road tore us apart the first time we dated, what's to say that it wouldn't happen now?

What if the distance was too much for me again? What would I do?

I couldn't lose him.

"Viv" I heard Denis ask, immediately snapping me out of my daydream.

"Yeah?"

"Are you ready to go?"

"Oh....uh yeah." I stood, taking his hand, turning to Kir.

"It was nice meeting you." I smiled.

"As it was nice meeting the famous Vivian." He smiled. "Hope to see you again sometime soon."

"See ya man." Denis smiled, shaking his hand as we parted ways, getting into the car.

"That was nice. He was nice." I smiled.

"I didn't like the way he looked at you." Denis grumbled.

"He didn't look at me in any special way." I laughed.
