It's the fourth night of the tour and also the fourth concert in a row. And the third day I spend without a certain amound of closeness with Avi. We're both too focused on the concerts and everything that comes with it. Soundcheck, meeting fans, the concert, time to kill backstage until it's time to hit the stage together with Kelly and then we either watch the whole concert or have interviews or other things to do.
So whenever we're on the bus, we're sleeping or just hanging out with the others and whenever we're not, we're around the crew and it's hardly possible to get a moment of quiet. In the end there's never more than a quick hug and short peck for the two of us.
"Mitch, shall we film Superfruit real quick?" Scott asks me after we came down from the stage tonight. "We're filming the music video tomorrow and then it's a bunch of concerts again" he explains.
I sigh and look over to where Avi is standing. "Yeah... your hotel room?" I really wish to just be with him tonight but Superfruit is my job. It really is a lot of fun to film and I doubt that tonight's shoot will be any less fun, but I'll be missing Avi a lot.
"Yeah, awesome" Scott comments, totally oblivious to what I'm really thinking about. "Shall we do random talking? I don't really know if I can come up with something else tonight."
"Random talking is totally fine with me" I answer. Actually I'm hoping that we might be finished quickly and I'll be able to spend some time with Avi before we'd fall asleep, exhausted from the past days.
As we're on the bus again and on our way to the hotel, I go up to where Avi is sitting and typing away on his phone.
"Hey, Daddy" I say softly and sit down next to him.
"Mitchie" he says and puts his phone away to focus his attention on me only. "I'm so happy that we get to sleep in a real bed tonight. I can't wait to have you inside my arms again. Shall we watch a movie?"
I sigh. "About tonight, Avi... I need to go over to Scott's room, we need to film for Superfruit" I tell him. I'm feeling so bad for not having the possibility to be there with him. "I hope we'll get finished quickly and I can be with you again. I'm so, so sorry, Babe."
"It's okay, Mitch. We both knew that the tour would be hard on us." Avi sounds understanding but his eyes, which always show his raw, pure emotion look sad and even kind of disappointed.
"I'm sorry, Daddy. I'll be with you as soon as possible" I say once more and then kiss him softly.
"I know that you will." Avi returns and kisses me once more. "Now come on, we're there."
We all take our overnight bags and make our way into the hotel. Thankfully, Esther arrived there before us to manage check-in and everything. So all we need are our keys and then we're good to go. I decide to take a quick shower in Avi's and my room before going over to Scott to shoot.
It feels weird to leave Avi behind as he's already getting ready to cuddle up into the fluffy blankets of our king-sized bed, but I know that I have to go. I kiss him quickly before I leave, hoping that it's not our good night kiss.
I make my way over to Scott's room which is on the same floor as ours and knock quickly.
"Hey Queen, finally. What took you so long?" He wants to know as he lets me into the room.
"Well, I had to shower first. I don't want to wake Avi up with showering when I come back" I explain. "Anyway, shall we get to filming? I want to get it done as quickly as possible. I'm tired."
"Yes, of course. just get comfortable, I'll start the camera and then we just talk a bit about touring and stuff, do our weekly obsessions, songs and that's about it" Scott offers. He has already set up the lights and the camera, so we're ready to go.
Filming takes longer than we thought, but in the end we have enough material for Scott to cut a good video out of.
"Thank God, this is done" I say and rub my eyes which are red and puffy from being so tired.
"Yeah, me too" Scott agrees and just drops onto his bed. "Show yourself out, will you? I'm not getting up right now."
"I will, good night, Scotty." I quickly get up, eager to get into my own, warm bed and inside Avi's waiting arms.
When I enter our room it's dark, except for the light on my nightstand. Avi's already sleeping. I sigh softly and move into the bathroom to quickly brush my teeth and get ready for bed.
I climb into the bed next to him and turn of the lights before cuddling up against his back.
"Mmhm, you're back" he mumbles and slowly turns around.
My eyes light up instantly. "You're still awake?"
"Barely, but yeah" he mumbles and opens his arms so I can snuggle up against his chest properly.
"Mmhm, comfortable" I mumble as the warmth and the exhaustion from the past days make me drift off already.
"It really is..." Avi returns. "Good night, Queen."
I smile and lean up for a quick kiss. "Good night, Big Daddy."
