Can't Sleep... Love? (Mavi)

Night Thirty-Seven

We arrive in Austin late in the evening after a long day at rehearsal and on the plane. Our flight was, of course, delayed, we should have been here five hours ago. Five hours spent in the waiting hall and on the plane. Five hours spent not in Avi's arms because we were in public. Lucky Scott and Kirstie, they had their significant others with them because they were visiting family back home in Texas, too. Yes, Alex flew over with us. Scott apologised, Alex apologised and booked himself a flight to join him for a weekend in Arlington.

 The flight itself was rough due to the weather. Therefore I'm more than frustrated when I drop down on my side of the bed with a huff.

Avi is following me suit and crawls up behind me. "You're tensed" he states and starts to softly caressing my neck.

I hum and let my head fall to the side, granting him more access. "I'm just annoyed. Wanted to take you out tonight. And now it's almost midnight and we need to get up at five fucking in the morning."

Avi starts to place soft kisses along the side of my neck. "We'll be in Arlington for the weekend. Why don't you show me some places there?"

I smiled at the thought of that. "We could definitely do that." I lean into his touch and try to relax, yet it doesn't work completely.

"What's wrong, Babe?" Avi stops his movements and looks at me.

I shrug my shoulders. "I don't know. Just moody and way too tensed."

Avi nods understanding. "I might have quite the idea" he says softly and moves away from me. "Why don't you get ready for bed and I help you relax for a while?"

I look up to him and sigh. "I don't know if I want to tonight, Avi... I'm sorry" I utter and glance down on my hands.

"Shhh... we're both going to stay in our briefs, Babe, no need to worry. Just trust me" he explains. "I'll go and get ready quickly and then you go and I prepare?"

"Yeah, why not" I flick a smile at him and get up to lay out my outfit for the next morning, while he brushes his teeth in the bathroom.

"Your turn" he whispers into my ear and presses a kiss on my cheek as he exits the bathroom.

I take my toiletry bag and plod over to the bathroom, starting to brush my teeth directly while looking at myself in the mirror, sighing at what I see. Don't get me wrong, I'm satisfied with my appearance in fact I'm very confident about myself. But right now my expression is tensed. I can really see it in the way my face looks. There are more wrinkles and even a few pimples on my cheek and forehead.

"Gross" I mumble and get to work. Despite the late night I take my time for skincare and then go back into the bedroom afterwards.

What I see there makes me smile involuntarily despite my overall broodiness. Avi is sitting on the edge of the bed dressed only in his briefs. His hair is falling down freely. He has the sheets laid out already and he's holding a small bottle in his hands.

"Come here, Babe, lay down on your stomach." Avi holds out his hand to me and motions me over to him.

My face lights up even more when I realise what he's going to do. I flop down on the bed and get comfortable on my stomach.

Avi leans over me and I feel his lips on my neck. "Are you comfy?"

I hum softly. "Yeah."

"Great then let's start. Close your eyes, just feel." He straddles me but is careful to not put too much weight on my body. Then I feel a warm liquid on my back and the sweet smell of coconut and vanilla hits my nostrils. Avi starts to rub the oil in with soft movements, working on the tensed parts of my back carefully yet firm enough to get them loose.

I just lay there, awake and yet kind of drifted away only aware of the hands kneading my back and the calm atmosphere that's surrounding me. I don't think about the exhausting flight anymore, I relax. 

It seems like an eternity later, when the movements get softer and then stop completely. I feel Avi carefully lying down next to me. He probably thinks I'm already asleep.

"Thank you, Avi" I mumble and open my eyes to look at him.

"You're welcome, Mitch. Feeling better?"

"Mmhm... way better, thank you" I smile at him. "Sleep? We've got a long day ahead of us."

He flashes a bright smile back at me. "We do. And I'm meeting your parents tomorrow."

I slowly turn myself around to cuddle up against him. "You already know them, Silly."

"But not as your boyfriend" he returns and wraps his arms around me.

I lean up to connect our lips for a sweet good night kiss. "You're right."

Avi winks at me and then turns off the light, pulling the blanket up so that we both are comfortable.

"Good Night, Queen."

"Good Night, Big Daddy."
