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

Night Seventy-One

Neither our fans nor anyone else mentions something about our relationship. Of course we talk things through with Esther, but she is just glad that the pictures that are already leaked and those who might be aren't too revealing and basically just tells us that we should do whatever feels right to us.

The time we have in between Meet and Greets and the show we spend with the rest of the band. There are some last minute changes we have to do because Scott's voice is strained and therefore he can't power through the next three days of concerts. The risk that he might get sick for real is too high, so we decide to do songs which are easier on Scott's voice.

The show is okay, it's not easy to change the whole set list just before the show, but we're professionals, so it works out just fine.

After the show, Scott goes to lie down until we need to hit the stage with Kelly while Kirstie, Avi, Esther and I decide to watch her concert for a while.

"Mitch? Why don't you just go with the others? I'll be with you in a minute, just need a toilet break" Avi says as we're just about to go out into the audience.

"Alright, see you there" I return and go to meet with the girls.

"Where's your man?" Kirstie wants to know.

"He's just at our dressing room for a fresh up but will be with us any minute" I explain to her. "Anyway, let's go outside, I wanna see the show."

I offer my arms for the two girls to hook on to and together we go to the area that was especially made so we could watch the show. It wasn't near the stage, it was in a corner so that no one would recognise us standing there and casually watching the show. But I don't mind not being up close mind that we actually share the stage with Kelly for a song every night.

"Mitch" a familiar female voice greets me happily as we find ourselves some places to watch the show from.

I turn around and smile brightly. "Judy! Nice to meet you again!" I walk up to the young woman and hug her swiftly. "Having some time off?"

"Yes, I was finally able to see your whole set and right now I'm hoping that I can watch Kelly, too" she returns. "By the way you were magnificent! But you changed your setlist, didn't you?"

I nod. "We had to, Scott's voice is strained and he needs to rest as much as possible."

"That's bad, I hope he'll be better, soon" Judy answers, clearly concerned.

"He will be, he just needs to rest his vocal chords and it'll be alright in a matter of days" I explain.

"Great. Anyway, Mitch. What's up with you and Avi being all over Twitter? I followed you earlier today and just swiftly looked through the mentions and was like whoa..."

"Yeah, well I lost my phone and someone must've been able to get all the photos and is releasing them. Fortunately there are no revealing photos, just memories from dates and other stuff we did together" I tell her, being kind of tired to tell the story once more.

"What? That's so bad! What are you going to do about it?" Judy looks shocked. "Oh my god who does something like that? That's your privacy!"

I shrug my shoulders. "Well, I think it's someone who doesn't value the word 'privacy'. And we're not doing anything for the moment. Just wait everything out and think of a strategy. But we're not hiding our relationship anymore. Neither scream it out into the world nor act as if there's nothing between us. We'll see if it works out."

Judy smiles at me. "Actually that sounds just right. Let people think what they want to think. The two of you know what you have and that's the only thing that matters" she returns and I suddenly know why she and Avi get along that well. They both have a certain way with words, letting everything they utter sound just so wisely.
