Musically Problematic

Chapter 58: Suitcase Mix-up

He wraps his arms around me one last time before we walk into the airport to greet the others.

Sophie's POV:

Once we get in, we see the others standing with their security. We go over to them and one of the 'big guys in black' take me aside. Michael looks concerned but I nod at him to tell him it's gonna be alright.

"I'm Dave, you'll see me around a lot, I've been the security guard for these four boys for a while. If you need anything just ask. Karen and Daryl told us about Michael's surprise, we're all happy to have you join us on tour. Just don't make my life any harder than those four rascals do or else there will be trouble. With that being said, me and the rest of the security team are here for your and their safety, not to scare you."

"Okay, thanks. It's good to know that I'm in good hands."

We both go back over to the group. Michael's arm wraps itself around my waist protectively.

"What was that about?"

"Nothing, he just wanted to introduce himself and assure me that you guys are in good hands. So nothing bad will happen to my fiancé."

After a while of just talking and catching up with everyone, Michael looks a bit happier and calmer about everything. That is until the intercom comes on to tell us that they have to board their plane. His grip around my waist suddenly gets tighter and he looks at me; a sad expression on his face. Dave then looks at me then Karen and Daryl come closer to us.

"Have a good trip everyone, Good luck with the tour and be safe."

All of their parents say some version of that as their security guards start leading them towards the plane. Michael gives me a really confused look.

"Aren't you leaving, babe?"

I smile and shake my head at him and pull my ticket out of the pocket of my bag.

"Surprise! You didn't think I'd let you go off on tour and have this much fun without me did you?"

"So you let me spend the past few weeks crying about this, just to torture me?"

"Not to torture you, and trust me watching you cry about this for so long broke my heart. But I knew that the surprise you got from finding out would be more than worth it."

"You are sitting next to me, right?"

"Nah, Calum seems more fun...Of course I'm sitting next to you, you idiot."

"Just making sure, I can't have anyone else cuddling my fiancé. You're my cuddle buddy, and only my cuddle buddy."

"Good, because you're only allowed to be my cuddle buddy...and maybe Calum's. But only when I'm not around."

"You know, I find that really weird. After everything Calum's done to you, you still ship me with him."

The flight attendant checks our tickets and within a few minutes we are seated and ready for take off.

Michael's palm becomes sweaty as the plane rattles a bit taking off.

"You ok, babe?" I whisper softly in his ear.
