You're Not Quite Satan (Taylex)

Chapter 19

Tay's Point of View.

Waking up the next morning, I couldn't stop the smile that blossomed on my face as I reminisced about the night before. Alex had told me he loved me, and at this particular moment, life couldn't be any better.

I opened my eyes after a second of thinking and rolled my eyes playfully as my vision focused on a new picture of some random guy the others had presumably taped to the bunk above mine sometime throughout the night. Shaking my head, I sat up and pushed the hair from my face before getting out of bunk and slowly made my way to the front of the bus where I'd find the kitchen.

"Morning, Tayson." Rob greeted from the couch where he was eating from a box of dry cereal. I wrinkled my nose a little and smiled, waving to him as I went to the fridge and got a drink.

"Hey Rob," I replied and sat next to him, stealing a piece of the cereal. "Excited for the show tonight?"

"Fuck yeah!" Mike crowed when he entered the kitchen area, smiling at me. I giggled softly, earning a laugh from Rob and Mike as well.

"Well I'm going to shower and get ready before we reach the venue, someone go wake up Jordan and remind him that we have a show so he can't sleep until six tonight," I teased as I stood up again.

Mike pursed his lips for a second and gave a short nod. "Will do,"

"Everything okay?..." I asked slowly when I saw the expression on his face.

"Everything's fine." He said unconvincingly. Not wanting to argue, I sighed and went to the bathroom, closing the door and getting in the shower. I did my normal routine before getting out and drying my hair, straightening it quickly and getting dressed before emerging, running into a tall figure as I did.

"Shit!" Jordan yelped in surprise as his arm went around my waist to steady the two of us.

"Sorry!!" I exclaimed and pulled back from him, glancing up worriedly. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, are you?" He asked as he looked down, face slightly red.

"Yeah..." I nodded and giggled a little. Jordan seemed to smile a bit and shoved his hands into his pockets as he chewed on his bottom lip. "I'm gonna go finish up..." I said and moved past him to get to my bunk. He opened his mouth as if he had something to say, but nothing came out.

It wasn't long until we'd done sound check and were hanging out pre-show, messing around in the dressing room. The five-minute warning was announced not too long after and we all got ready at side stage, watching the crowd chant our names. I smiled and gathered my guys around me to start our pre-show ritual, and once the final 'it's our slice of pizza!' Was shouted, we all ran on stage. We played a quick twenty minute set, seeing as that was the allotted time given before the headliner, All Time Low, took the stage. The five of us said good night to the crowd and ran off stage as the next band's crew went to work switching equipment.

"Great show, babe." was whispered in my ear as arms snaked around my waist from behind. I jumped a little before looking down and seeing the familiar rose tattoo that belonged to my boyfriend.

"Thank you," I said, smile evident in my voice as I tilted my head up in time to meet his lips with my own for a short kiss.

Alex released me and I turned to face him, laughing. "Good luck tonight, Alex."

"Thanks." he grinned and kissed my forehead gently as Danny handed him his guitar. He slung it over his neck and let it hang lazily as he looked around, seeing his own band walking towards them. Alex, Jack, Rian, Zack and I all talked about nothing in particular as their crew set up throughout the five minute warning. The lights dropped soon after and he kissed me one last time before they all ran out on stage, the hundreds of hustlers screaming like crazy.

Alex's Point of View.

Not long after we'd all taken our positions on stage, we were jumping around and having a good time throughout our first song, Lost in Stereo. I threw glances at Tay who was cheering and singing along, causing me to smile happily.

A few songs later, I stopped everyone so I could give a tiny speech that would surely break Tumblr again. "Many of you may have seen the video from a few days ago when I sang Somewhere in Neverland. And I know a lot of you are curious as to who it was dedicated to… I think it's time you guys should know." I paused for a second to let the girls scream, many of them swooning and crying out for me to say their name. When they'd quieted down, I went over and grabbed Tay's hand, pulling her to the centre stage and pressing a kiss to her lips. The crowd erupted in cheers, with a few fangirls that were sending her glares because I'd kissed her and not them. "Tay Jardine, my beautiful girlfriend everyone!" I cried before I motioned to the guys to start playing Time Bomb.

Tay beamed up at me as she laced our fingers together, squeezing my hand gently as I sang directly to her, only dropping her hand to play my part on the guitar. I couldn't wait to see Tumblr and Twitter afterwards.
