It's a slow start this morning. Avi and I stay in bed, cuddled up against each other until we really have to get up.

"What do we do about us, now?" I ask after we've had some breakfast in bed. "About our time together?"

Avi takes my hand and squeezes it softly. "We're going to talk to the others and see what they think we can do about it. But we'll find a way to get some time to ourselves." He kisses my temple softly and I can't help but smile at him brightly.

"I love you, Avi" I say softly and kiss his lips. The kiss is slow and hesitant at first, but soon he puts his arms around my neck and pulls me on top of him. I straddle him and lean down to kiss him with more force.

"God, Babe, you're so perfect. I love you" he pants and I smile into the kiss when I hear those words out of his mouth. The situation gets heated really soon and it's only when I hear my phone that we come back to the here and now.

"Who's disturbing?" Avi groans.

I sigh softly. "It's Scott" I say and pick up the call. It could be important after all. "Yes, sis?"

"Where are you? We need to leave in like ten minutes! Everyone's already waiting in the lobby!"

"What the...?" I gasp and look at the clock. He's right. But where did time go? Last time I checked we had more than an hour to be ready. "Yes... we're coming. Down, I mean. We'll be there as soon as possible" I say rushed, already climbing down from Avi.

"Alright, just do you but be quick, please. We can wait for another few minutes though so don't rush yourself."

Either way Scott doesn't make sense or I didn't understand him right. "Alright we'll be there as soon as possible" I therefore return and end the call.

"Avi, we're late. They're already waiting for us" I say to Avi who's already sitting up, but looking at me with a slightly confused expression on his face.

"Late? But how did time pass that quickly?" He asks with wide eyes. "We had more than an hour left." While hes saying that, he already puts on his pants and searches for a suitable shirt.

"Well that was before our make-out session, Babe" I return while throwing on my sweatpants and oversized shirt, deciding that I can get dressed for the soundcheck and meet and greet either on the bus or at the venue.

"You're right, darling" he returns while packing up his bag.

Once we're both ready, we go to the door together, both hesitating before we exit. He takes my hand, looks at me and smiles.

"I'll remember this night, Mitch. Not solely because of the sex but because it felt special. I feel even closer to you right now, closer than before" he simply says.

"I..." I begin and have to clear my throat. "I felt the same, Daddy. Thank you for being mine. I'll remember last night, too. It was perfect and I'm bummed that it is over." I lean up to kiss him once more.

"I know, but there will be many dates after this one" Avi promises me. "Now come on, life's calling."

Thankfully none of our friends says something about us being late. I notice the smirks, especially on Scott's face, but they stay quiet until Avi makes a move once we're on the bus.

"We need to talk to you" he begins. "About us, about Mitch and my relationship."

Three pairs of eyes are focused on us.

"Sure, what's up? Anything wrong?" Kevin asks.

I shake my head smiling. "No, nothing's wrong. But... Avi and I talked yesterday and we found out that we need to change something. We need more time" I answer and look over to Avi, hoping that he'd continue, after all he has a special way with words.

"Yeah, we need more time, Mitchie's right. You know we've been together for more than two months now. And we decided to keep the band, our job so to say and our relationship apart from each other" he explains. "But the way we're keeping things right now isn't working out. We need time together, we can't just go from the blossoming relationship we had to being all professional. And I know that it's hard on you, because you can't be with your significant others, but I just cannot be around him without being with him, you know?"

Kirstie nods. "I understand. But please tell me where you think the problem lies. You can be around each other when we're on the bus. None of us is opposed to see you cuddling while we're here on the bus." She stops for a moment and seems to be thinking. "And maybe... Scott and Kevin, would you be willing to share a dressing room? That way Mitch and Avi could have one to themselves if they need time."

"Of course. We'll be a good team, won't we?" Kevin says and raises his fist.

Scott grins and bumps his fist against Kevin's. "Of course, Kev."

I look at Avi lovingly before turning back to my friends. "Thank you, you're the best. And we promise to not be too annoying."

Kevin chuckles. "Don't worry, you won't be. Just take the time that you need, we'll even cover you if needed. Just be happy."

We're at the venue, close to soundcheck when I notice that something is missing. "Avi have you seen my phone?" I ask, looking through my bag to search for the device.

Avi, who is lounging on the sofa of our shared dressing room looks at me questioningly. "No, I haven't. At least not since you've been on the phone with Scott this morning."

My eyes widen. "Shit. I think I forgot it on the nightstand. God no. No, no, no, no, no. Why me again?" I whine.

"Calm down, Queen. I'll call the reception and ask them about your phone" Avi says, already searching for the number on his phone. The call is a short one, he's polite but after he hangs up he shakes his head at me. "They didn't find something, yet. Maybe you've lost it somewhere on the bus. We'll look for it after the soundcheck, alright?" He stands up and takes me into his arms. "Calm down, it probably just fell out of your pocket or something else. Don't worry, focus on the show, okay?" He kisses me softly before a subtle knock on the door pulls us apart.

"Hey, lovebirds. Ready for soundcheck?" Scott sticks his head into the room and smiles at us.

"Yeah" Avi asks and smile at me, cheering me up, before he exits the room first.

"What's wrong, Mitchie?" Scott wants to know.

"Lost my phone" I mumble. "Well probably. We still need to search the bus and everything, but it could be gone. It's not at the hotel, Avi already called.

"Aww, Mitchie" Scott says. "We'll find it later on. I'll help searching, alright? and we'll call the hotel once more later on."

I nod. "Yeah, thank you." I smile at him and take his hand to go out to meet the fans and have our soundcheck. Work is calling and I can't get my lost phone in the way of being flawless for our amazing fans.

It's just a device, something materialistic and even if I lost it, there's nothing to it, right? Yes, getting a new one would be expensive but it's my own fault and I have to deal with it.

A/N: I hope the ending doesn't seem to weird. It'll all make sense.

Anyway, I hope you liked it. I didn't want to write tonight, but I met my best friend today, sponteanously (the one who lives 450km away). She was on her way home, but didn't have time to really meet up with me. But she called me up when I was just leaving university. And by chance she just was in the same city. So we took the train home together. It was only an hour and we were travelling, but just spending some time together was all I needed.
So yeah, I'm in a good mood and just started writing. This came out of it :)
