The SPACE Tour (Joey Richter FanFiction)

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

I woke up hot and sweaty. Opening my eyes I expected to see the roof of my bedroom, the fan spinning in endless circles, but instead I was looking at a blue carpeted roof that was only inches from my face. After a few seconds of dazed confusion I remembered that I was on a tour bus.

A blue curtain separated my small bunk- there were 8 in total on our bus (8 on the other) I was in the last one on the left at the top- from the hallway with four other beds on the other wall as well.

I pulled back my curtain, and jumped down onto the wooden floor. My pyjama's were only a too-large t-shirt with tiny cotton shorts underneath. 

I walked the length of the "bed room" into a room that served as many purposes. There was a kitchen counter next to the door, equipped with a sink and a few cupboards, both under and over the sink. There was a table- more like a booth, that met up with the wall that was connected to the "bedroom". Across the small living space was a corner lounge that faced a TV. 

When I stepped into the second room only a few people were there.  Meredith, Jamie, and Dylan were sitting at the table eating some cereal, Joey was sitting on the lounge sipping a coffee and staring up at the TV, trying to find something to watch. He turned around.  "Good morning". He smiled. 

"Good morning, Joey" I said "And everyone else" I added remembering there were more people in the room. They all mumbled some form of response, still groggy from sleep. I went and sat next to Joey, folding one of my legs underneath the other. He put his arm over my shoulders so I snuggled up closer to get more comfortable.

The move went unnoticed. We were all so used to it, always hugging each other or have an arm, or arms around someone else most of the time, because we've always been so close, but it always felt different with Joey. It felt more right when he was the one who did it. But I pushed those thoughts away because it was Joey. It was Joey Richter. 

"Did you have a good sleep?" He asked

"No. Those beds are so uncomfortable"

"I know. I'm too tall"

I giggled and he poked me in my side.

I nuzzled my head into his neck, my breath bouncing back into my face. My lips just inches away from his skin. I opened an eye to see what the people at the table were doing, enraptured in their own conversation - something about Darren joining us for one of the shows. I closed my eyes and pressed my lips to his neck. I felt him stiffen, clearly surprised by what I had done, then he relaxed.

I pulled back at bit and looked up at his face. He was blushing slightly when he looked down at me. I smiled back and snuggled back down into him. 

I placed the leg I wasn't I sitting on over his leg, moving closer still.

Joey moved his arm, which was just resting behind my back, over into the crook of my back. I moved my hand up to meet his and we inter-twined our fingers together. I breathed deeply taking it all in.

Joey Richter..
