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

Night Ninety-Seven

Over the last three weeks nothing has really changed. The fans acknowledge Avi and me as being something more and more. I've actually seen quite a few #Mavi posters at our concerts. It always makes me so happy to see that everyone is so supportive of us and I sense that Avi is thinking the same.

Life is good right now.

We're on our way back home to LA where we'll have a whole day off before our next concert which will take place in LA. One day and two nights we all need. Tour life is great but after almost two months of constantly being on the road we all need to recharge. And is there a better way than to do it at home? Definitely not.

I sigh when the bus leaves the highway and drives into the city. Home is so near. Yet I'm not sure what kind of home I need tonight. My own bed or Avi's proximity in his house.

"What's wrong, Mitch?" Kirstie sits down next to me. The others are in the lounge chilling and packing up their things. I just sit in my bunk, lost in my thoughts.

"Nothing, just thinking" I answer.

"About what?"

"Just wondering where I'll stay tonight. It's either home or Avi's place. I just don't know where I want to be and where he we wants me to be" I explain.

"Why don't you just talk to him? And... I mean we've been on the bus for four nights in a row right now and if I were you, I'd flee into my man's arms as soon as humanly possible" Kirstie advises me. "But another option would be to stay at home and do something tomorrow."

I nod. "You're right, but all I want to do tomorrow is just stay somewhere comfortable and rest."

"Believe me, I'll be doing the same. I'll be transferring between my bed, the sofa and going for a long walk with Olaf" she says with a huge smile on her face. "And trough all of this I'll be wearing the most comfortable clothing I can find, a messy bun and no makeup."

"You're so right" I return. "I feel like wearing nothing but boxer briefs the whole day, sitting in Avi's garden, he has those comfortable recliners. And some nice home cooked food. I actually want to cook for Avi and me."

"So you want to stay with him?" Kirstie grins at me. "You're thinking too much. Just go with it, ask him about his plans. We all only have that day until tour madness hits again. Make the most of it."

I smile at her. "Thanks K, I'll go and talk to him."

"You're welcome, Mitch."

I get up and go into he lounge where Scott and Kevin are competing in Mario Kart while Avi's watching.

I sit down next to him and rest my head on his shoulder. "Daddy?" I say softly after a moment.

His attention moves away from the video game completely. It's fascinating how he always focusses on the one person he's talking to. "Yes, Mitchie?"

"I was just wondering how you're going to spend your day off" I start.

Avi looks into my eyes. "I'm going to go home, cuddle up into my bed after a shower or a bath and sleep without bothering to set an alarm. And tomorrow I'll watch a movie, lay in the garden and maybe do some grocery shopping" he explains, describing just the perfect day.

But he doesn't mention me. I try not to look too disappointed, maybe he just needs some alone time. And I certainly don't want to be the needy boyfriend.

"Ah that sounds great" I answer and it sounds kind of lame.

"Mmhm... and I was just wondering what you'll be doing? I understand if you want to go home, but I also would love to have you with me for tomorrow. Doing nothing is so much more fun if you have someone around to cuddle, talk and laugh with."
