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

Night Seventy

My phone stays lost. Avi calls the hotel again, twice, and makes sure that they check the room we stayed at once more, just to be sure, while Scott helps me search the tour bus. Nothing.

Therefore Scott goes to the store with me the next day so I can get a replacement. I'm glad that I have a new phone, yet I'd love to have my own, old phone back, with all of my contacts. I spend a lot of time setting the damn device up. Apps, contacts, everything has to be renewed and it's such a pain in the ass. I even have to get a new number, I don't want random people to know my number, who knows where my old phone ended up.

A few days later we're just enjoying another night off. Since Alex is visiting we decide to go out on yet another double date.

We go out to a nice restaurant to have a few drinks and some good food.

"So... Scott told me that you've found a rhythm for the two of you?" Alex wants to know as soon as we've ordered our food.

I smile at him brightly. "Yep, we did."

Avi grabs my hand and squeezes it softly. It's been a few days since my breakout and follow up date with Avi and things have been great. Avi and I spend some quality time together every day. We still don't do anything in public, but since we've got our own dressing room and the full support of our friends and bandmembers things have gotten so much easier. Just having the possibility to cuddle, kiss or just talk alone for a few minutes every day is all we needed.

"Yes. We figured out that even though we're on tour we're still in a relationship and we need to live it" Avi explains. "And that's what we're trying to do right now."

"And you're doing great" Scott agrees.

"Thanks, Sis" I return. "Anyway, Allie, how long are you staying with us?"

"Until the concert in LA next week" Alex explains. "We haven't talked about travel arrangements though, but Scott said that you've got a spare bunk and we could make it work for the two or three nights on the bus."

"Yeah, definitely" I say. "Great to have you here." Honestly, I felt bad that Avi and I were the only ones to have our significant other around. So having at least Alex with us for quite a few days is amazing. Plus he's always a lot of fun to have backstage.

"You know, I'm happy, too" Alex says with a huge grin of his face and turns to kiss Scott softly.

"Gosh, the two of you are so sweet" I say.

"You and Avi are not too bad yourself" Alex comments with a huge smile on his face. "Really. I'm glad that you're going so strong."

"Thanks Alex" Avi says and takes a sil of his drink.

Alex then turns to me. "What have you done to your phone again? That's like... the third phone you either manage to wreck somehow or loose."

"I knooooow" I whine. "I still think that I left it in the hotel room, but they didn't find it. Anyway, let's not talk about it. It's only frustrating."

Alex chuckles. "Okay, okay" he says just as the waitress arrives with our food.

The evening ends rather early. Scott and Alex are all over each other, after all it's their first night together since tour started and they're desperately needing some private time.

Avi and I decide to return to the hotel the past days have been exhausting and we both need some sleep. I'm already lying in bed and scrolling through my twitter notifications. I first answer those from people I know and then look through those from my followers and gasp all of a sudden. There are pictures of me and Avi. Pictures I've taken on my phone, from dates and just our daily life. Little moments I wanted to remember like the way he set the table in the morning, surprising me with a beautiful breakfast on his patio or just selfies of him and me cuddled up against each other. Simply everything that was on my old phone.

"Avi?" I call out towards the bathroom.

"Yes, dear?" Avi comes out while brushing his hair, wearing only his briefs. "What's wrong?"

"Look" I simply say and hand him my phone.

"That's... from our date at the exhibition. The one you organised" he says. "Those are all your pictures, they were supposed to be private, how did they end up on twitter?" His eyes are wide in shock and he looks at the screen on my phone in disbelief.

"I don't know. I really don't know" I shrug my shoulders and put the phone away. "But I think that someone broke the phone and managed to get a hold of the pictures." I sigh and look down as tears start to fill my eyes.

"Wait, Babe, you're not going to cry now, are you?" he sits down on the bed next to me and pulls me into his side. "Don't. Please. I can't stand seeing you cry."

"That's not what we wanted, Avi. It's completely out of control. All those pictures, all those moments that were ours" I whisper and let the tears fall free.

"Shh, Darling..." Avi holds me tight and talks softly to soothe me. "Everything will be alright. It happened and we can't change it right now" he says as I finally manage to calm down.

"But what are we going to do about it, Avi?" I wipe at my cheeks and look at him.

"For now, nothing. I'm tired as hell and you are, too, so we'll just sleep on it" Avi says with a calming voice. "And for the next days we'll just see how people will react and if and how we need to give a statement. But for now we should just wait it out. The photos are out and we can't delete them. It happened and we have to adjust."

He crawls under the blanket and instantly pulls me against his chest again. "Are you okay for the moment or do you need something?"

"Just you..." I say softly and kiss his lips. "I love you, Big Daddy. Promise me that whatever is going to come out of this mess won't change a thing about us."

Avi smiles at me. "Well, it might change a lot of things, if the fans know, Mitchie. But it won't change my feelings for you. I love you, Queen. More than anything" he says softly and kisses me back sweetly. "Now come, we should try to get some sleep."

"Mmhm..." I hum, already closing my eyes. The way he assured me about his feelings for me is calming to me, despite the sudden revelation and I drift off slowly but surely, hoping that the sudden storm those pictures might raise among our fans wouldn't be too bad.
