"One, two, three." The camera guy counts just as the flash off his camera goes off. I let out a small breath as I stop smiling and Nathan and I relax.

"Thanks for coming today." The interviewer says, shaking our hands just as the guy with the camera begins typing on his phone, he told us beforehand that his camera took pictures and instantly sent them to his phone, I didn't quite believe him.

"And it's posted." He says pushing his phone infront of my face, my eyebrows raise in amazement, the photo we just took, great quality, already online.

"That's awesome." I say and grab my phone, ready to screenshot the blogs new post.

As Nathan says our goodbyes, I send the screenshot to Ashton, hoping he was up this early.

Looking great babe, miss you.

He replies almost instantly. I blush at his words, sending back and thank you and ''miss you too', Nathan nudges my shoulder making me look up.

"Let's go." I nod and follow him out the studio, wiping tiredly at my eye.

"How many more today?" I ask and Nathan looks at his phone, then looks back at me. "Only two more, but they are night interviews so I say we go back to the hotel and catch a few Z's?" Nathan says and I nod, although my stomach grumbles just then and I realize even at 6 am, I'm starving.

"Can we stop at Dunkin Donuts?" I ask as we get into our rental car, Nathan nods and begins to drive.

"That coffee isn't going to let you get sleep, y'know?" Nathan says staring at me from his bed, a bagel in his hand.

I stir my coffee with the straw, shrugging my shoulders lightly. "I'm very immune to caffeine."

Nathan's eyebrow raises on interest, his mouth chewing his bagel faster to ask his next question. "Really? Your addicted to coffee?" He asks and I nod again, taking a bite of my strawberry donut.

"Caffeine in general, love energy drinks and soda, it's unhealthy but they are the best." I say with half of my mouth full, my hand covering my mouth.

I looked down to my phone vibrating in my lap, Ashton's name popping up.

"It's your boyfriend?" Nathan asks with a playful tone and I nod, "he's facetiming me." I answer, ready to ignore it.

"Answer it, I want to congratulate him." Nathan says when he notices me not make an attempt to answer.

I look at him then back at my phone, answering it.

"Hey baby." Ashton says smiling at me, I blush, the fact that Nathan just heard that made it alittle awkward.

I lean against my beds headboard and smile graciously at Ashton. "Hi, what are you doing up at... 8am?" I ask looking at the clock next to my bed.

"Couldn't fall back to sleep, Maxie has been sad since you left, won't stop crying. Poor thing thinks your gone forever." Ashton says, one arm behind his head as he holds the phone directly infront of him, nothing but covers covering his bare chest.

"Aw, my poor baby." I say, pouting my lip out.

Ashton makes a face at me and I chuckle, knowing he was pretending to be upset about me calling Maxie baby.

"Oh! Um someone wants to tell you something." I say to Ashton as I see Nathan walk to my bed, sitting next to me, nudging his head next to mine so he can fit in the screen.

Ashton stares confused, his eyebrows furrowed.

"Hey man, heard about your new job, congrats!" Nathan says friendly, a grin on his face. Ashton smiles, nodding his head slightly.

"Thanks man." Ashton replies and Nathan sends him a thumbs up.

"Always nice seeing this girl fluster about you, you guys are great." Nathan compliments, causing me to blush.

Ashton's smile grows wider, his top teeth sinking into his bottom lip. "I appreciate it, she's my lovely." Ashton says in a sing-song voice, purposely to get a reaction out of me.

My face gets hotter as both Nathan and Ashton laugh at my expense.

"Okay, well I'm going to go so I can sleep." I say loudly causing them to laugh again.

Nathan gets up and walks back to his bed, biting his bagel again.

"Alright baby, I'll talk to you later, I love you." Ashton says. My eyes shoot to Nathan who has a playful smirk on his face as he pretends to block his ears with his hands.

"I love you too." I say quickly, hanging up and locking my phone. Nathan laughs and I roll my eyes.

"If you had a girlfriend you'd be in the same situation, buddy." I say sipping my coffee.

Nathan raises a brow at me, his head tilting slightly.

"You don't think I have one?" He asks in a challenging tone.

I shrug, picking at my donut. "I mean you've never said otherwise, so..."

Nathan sighs and nods. "Yeah, I've been out of the game far too long."

I chuckle and shrug sheepishly, "You'll find someone... Someday."
