The tour after that seemed to fly by. I loved every last minute of it. Although, I was mortified that the tour had ended. Me and Alex had to go our separate ways again. I mean he had to go back to the Monkeys, I had my solo career to work on. No joke, I'm not saying that mine and Alexs' relationship is perfect buy no means. But who's is? But there is something about Alex, I've been drawn to since day one. We knew this would happen, it was inevitable really. But it's like the bubble had been burst, that we were wrapped in. Suddenly, we were sucked back into harsh reality. For me that meant not having Alex to wake up to, or to hear his sleep filled voice in the morning. I missed him more than ever. He was on a major tour with the Arctic Monkeys. But now, he has a few days free before the next gig. I am visiting and that's how I've ended up on a plane, out to the USA. The journey never seems to end, but when I'm finally off I get a very plesent surprise. My favourite monkey stood waiting for me at the airport. I scan his body for any changes, he has cut his beautiful long hair and fashioned it into a quiff.
Other than that, nothing else has changed. He lookes cool as ever, all in leather and dark shades. He has a cigarette perched on his light pink lips, despite the signs warning that smoking wasn't permitted. Was he working out more? Because I'm sure his arse lookes perky, and his muscles have become more toned. How did he have time to work out and be on tour at the same time? Before I know what's hit me, Alex sees me and he gives me a whole hearted smile. The type of smile that he never uses. The only over time I've seen him smile like this, is when talking to his mam or occasionally with Matt. His eyes light up, he shows me his full set of perfect white teeth. He then takes one last drag on his cigarette, and stubs it out and throws it into the nearest bin. Then he's running as if his life depends on it, he's in my arms. I disguard my bags on the floor somewhere. We haven't seen each other since the end of the last shadow puppets tour. He is now 3 months into his tour with the Arctic Monkeys. 3 months without Alex. That was far too long, I have been a shitty boyfriend and I knew it. I could of done more to try and get to see Alex sooner, but I didn't. It wasn't the same just talking on the phone. But at least I'm here now, Alex in my arms where he belongs. Sobbing awakes me from my train of thoughts. Alex is hung around my neck and is sobbing into my shirt. I wrap my arms around him "Hey love it's okay I'm here now" I whisper into his ear. "Never again Miles, never again am I going 3 months, without physically seeing you" Alex wails. I understand him it was too much. "Come on Al let's get my bags, we can hail a taxi. Yeah?" I ask it wasn't really a question, more orders that anything else. Alex finally let's go and grabs all of my bags. "Woah Alex no need to carry all of my bags, I see you've been working out?" I question why placing light kisses on his arms. I don't care who sees us. "Yeah I have, it gives me something to do when I'm not onstage in the day and that" Alex mutters and under his breath I hear him say "to keep me from thinking of you all the time". "Well I've got to say Alex you look great, although you know I'm a fan of long hair on you" I say. "Miles I tried to keep it long as possible but when you're doing gigs, it becomes all sweaty it irritates me. Also, don't I look great all the time?" Alex says with a small sad smile. There it is again, a small glimpse of that shy boy that Alex used to be. "Of corse you look great all the time la, I like the evolution of Alex Turner it's fun to guess what you will evolve into next" I say with a smirk. "Jesus Mi you're describing me as if I'm a animal or something" Alex says punching my arm playfully. "Well you are a animal in bed" I tease. "Away Miles trust you to turn harmless banter into that" Alex says. "But it's true la" I say and kiss him full on. He leans into the kiss for a while then breaks it off "Come on Miles it's getting late and we need a taxi". "Okay after you love" I shout. We carry my bags outside of the airport, where a row of taxis are waiting for potential customers. Alex and me jump into one. Alex explains where we are going to the taxi driver. We are going to the Arctic Monkeys tour bus. I was slightly disappointed. I want to fuck Alex into next week, but I couldn't when their was a bus full of lads. But I was happy in some respects, as I would be able to catch up with the Monkeys. I had come to adore Alexs' band mates over the years ; they were all so very talented and special to Alex, so therefor special to me. Moonlight from outside engulfs me and Alex in the Taxi. I snuggle into Alex's neck. Something was wrong I could see hickeys on his skin; he clearly has tried to cover them with some sort of cosmetic make up, but I could see that it must of worn off. I move from Alex and he gave me a look of confusion. "Who gave you the hickeys Alex?" I say anger in my voice. I felt my heart breaking. If he doesn't come up with a good reason why he has them love bites, it was sure to break. "Miles it was....
