**** I'm so sorry I take so long to update! ****

By the time I managed to get my head on straight enough to sneak my way back into my bus, I blew my cheeks out seeing Gus and Doug sitting on the couch, their arms crossed.

Travis was lounging on the chair, giving me a bit of a smug smirk.

I winced and slunk into the room, attempting to look like a dejected puppy.

"So, Miss I Ditch My Band and come back at 3 am, where were you?" Gus asked me.

I sighed and sat down on the floor in front of them, using a last resort and looking at them with puppy dog eyes and pouty lips.

"Xie, you look like you're constipated, cut the act" Doug said, causing me to huff and cross my own arms.

"Fine, I went to a concert" I admitted, letting my eyes shift over to Travis.

"So, how'd it go?" He asked, and I squealed, standing up and grabbing his hand, pulling him up.

"It was really ace, just, it was perfect" I said, spinning him around in a dance.

"What did you do after the damn concert?" Gus asked, clearly not wrapped up in my happiness.

"Well, I hung out with the band of course" I said, smirking and twirling Travis before pulling him to my chest.

"Meet your Prince Charming?" Travis smirked, and I winked.

"Of course, and we danced all night" I said.

"Woah woah baby, do I get to enter your carriage then?" Travis asked, and I snorted, pushing him away.

"But, but we danced all night" Travis pouted, and I laughed.

"But it's 12 now, so I'm gonna go" I said, stroking his cheek before running to the bathroom before anyone could pester me.

It had been a long night, great, but long. And I was tired. I took a quick shower and got ready for bed slowly. I was half asleep by the time I got to bed.

---- next day ----

Luckily Gus and Doug had forgotten about last night, and everything seemed normal, with Travis' sexual jokes, Gus' friendly demeanor, and Doug's discreet flirting.

We were at a signing, and I couldn't have felt happier. All these fans smiling so wide just because they get to talk to us for what, a few seconds?

It was crazy.

I heard some commotion, but I didn't pay much attention to it, focusing on signing the fans things instead.

I mean, we were at Warped, there was going to be screaming all the time, it'd be exhausting to look everytime there was someone freaking out.

I brushed it off as nothing, smiling at each fan and listening to them attentively while ignoring the freak out around me.

It got even closer, but I still ignored it, until it walked right up to me.

A warpainted hand was set in front of me, offering me a Black Veil Brides CD.

I took it, a bit surprised, signing it. The fan still hadn't talked, which was a bit odd.

I looked up, worried that they might be crying or something. Instead my eyes met none other than CC's.

"Well, hello there stranger. Want me to sign your tits too?" I grinned, uncapping my sharpie.

"Oh my god, would you?" CC squealed like, for lack of a better word, a fangirl.

I chuckled, standing up and leaning across the table while he pulled his vest away from his chest.

I snorted, writing my signature around his nipple. I drew a smiley face around his other nipple, biting my lip to hold in a laugh before pulling my trembling hand away.

I gripped the table with my hands to keep from embarrassing myself by trying to touch him again. His chest was so warm, I wonder if he noticed how my hands shook....-

"You keep that forever, maybe tattoo it on later" I joked, winking at him.

God, I can't believe I'm flirting with him right now. I can barely stand but here I am running my mouth like a careless pro.

"Ha ha, maybe I will" he said, sending me a cheeky smile that made my heart pound like I was in the ocean and sharks were coming after me-

I realized I hadn't responded, instead staring at him almost, okay, totally dreamily.

I coughed awkwardly, sending him an embarrassed smile.

"I'll hold you to that mister" I said, and he grinned.

"Okay, now come give your biggest fan a hug" he said, and even though I knew he was only kidding, I couldn't help but grin and blush.

Hugging him from across the table was awkward, but with me, anything was awkward, so I couldn't complain.

Right before he pulled away, I smirked and leaned close to his ear, whispering "you know, you never told me if drummers hit it harder."

He coughed slightly, pulling away before smirking.

"Like I said, maybe you'll find out" he said before walking away, not very successfully.

Seeing as fans were everywhere, it was hard for him to make a clean getaway, and I laughed at him while he kept looking back at me with a small smile.

After he left, I took a moment to calm myself down, taking a breath and running my hands down my sides before sitting down again.

Okay, you had your fun, now get your head back, you've got fans to please, they're the reason for everything you have.

I turned back to the fans smiling, getting back into the zone of signing things and paying attention to the fans.

Of course, with Travis next to me nudging me and sending me smug smirks, it was hard to focus entirely on what was around me.

I did my best to ignore him, but he was persistent as fuck.

That mixed with the fact that I kept happening to look up and see CC standing with some other bands socializing across from my tent, it was hard.

Can't blame me, I was completely infatuated with him since I had discovered his band 4 years ago.

This was going to complicate things, wasn't it....
