The SPACE Tour (Joey Richter FanFiction)

Chapter 4

I woke up and pulled my curtain back, everyone was out of their beds except Joey, his curtain was still closed.

I jumped down and walked into the kitchen-lounge room, Lauren was sitting at the table with Jaime, Meredith and Dylan and Joe and Brian were watching TV on the lounge.

I went and sat down on the lounge next to Walker "Morning" He said not looking away from the TV, "Morning" I replied my mind still on last night. I looked at the clock that was under the TV, it read 10:30

"Are we doing a show tonight?" I asked Meredith. She looked up from her cereal, "No" she said "We have two nights off"

"Cool". She smiled at me and went back to her cereal.

I yawned and looked at the TV, trying to figure out what Joe and Brian were watching, when Joey walked in.

"Morning" He said, some people mumbled a reply, but he was looking at me when he said it.

"Good morning" I smiled at him, he smiled his crooked smile back and sat down next to me, wrapping his arms around me. I cuddled into him putting my arms around his middle, trying to refrain myself from kissing him.

Meredith looked up at the tv and saw us, she half frowned, then shrugged it off.

"Did you have a good sleep last night?" Joey asked.

"Yeah it was alright" I teased.

"What a shame" He laughed. "Well, you'll have to try and get a better one tonight"

I giggled and hugged him tighter he rested rested his head on top of mine.

Through the window above the sink I saw the bus slowing down and pulling towards to the side of the road. Once we came to a full stop Don, the bus driver popped his head through the curtain that separated us from the little drivers compartment.

"Hey guys" He said, everyone turned their attention towards him "We're about two hours away from my ranch. I asked my wife if it was okay, and we'd like to invite you all over"

"Yeah we'd love to" Spoke up Walker.

"Yeah sounds like fun" said Lauren "Thank you" We all said some form of agreement.

"Cool, I thought later after dinner we could have a bonfire as well"

"Yeah!" we all yelled.

Don smiled at us all and returned to his little cabin.

He resumed driving in a few seconds and we all started to get ready.

Within no time we arrived at Don's ranch. His wife was waiting for us at the end of a long drive way.

Once we got out of the bus we all said hi and shook her hand in turn, she introduced herself as Shelly.

"Well I bet your all hungry" She said smiling warmly at us "Would you like to have something to eat?"

"Oh you didn't have to do that" Said Dylan

"Please it's my pleasure, I made some sandwiches. I'll bring them out"

"Thank you so much, Shelly" Said Lauren.

Shelly walked up towards the house and Don lead us out towards a large lake, where they had set up a big table for us.

We all took at seat at the table and Shelly came back out carrying a large plate. We all ate and asked Don questions and made small talk.

"I reckon the lake would be pretty cool to swim in" Meredith was saying

"Well you can if you want" Don said

"Really?" I asked.

"Yeah of course"

We practically ran back to the bus to grab our things and all got changed in different rooms of Don's house.

Above the lake there was a built in rope to jump into the lake with. On the end of the rope was a loop to put you foot in for more stability.

Jaime, myself and Brian made it to the rope first and after a few shoves Brian grabbed the rope first and jumped, swinging over the lake, then once he reached the full apex of the swing he let go, his foot sliding out of the loop and he fell into the water with a splash, spraying us all with water.

I saw Joey running down the hill, racing Walker and Dylan. I couldn't help but stare at him running down hill topless, not like I haven't seen him like that before.

I laughed when he saw me staring and he sped up and caught me by the waist and picked me up. I shrieked and wrapped my legs and arms around him.

Quickly I leaned down and pecked him on the lips making sure my hair fell in front of our faces shielding as much as possible. He kissed me back then pulled away and smiled. "You ready?" He asked.

"For what?" I asked.

"THIS!" He yelled and jumped into the lake still holding on to me.

We landed, narrowly missing Walker and Lauren.

He let go of me on impact the grabbed on to me once we surfaced, laughing together.

"Are you still ready?" He asked

Before he gave me a chance to respond. He smashed his lips down onto mine.

I heard gasps form a few of the people then Meredith yelled "I KNEW IT!"

"You owe me 20 bucks, Brian" I heard Walker say.

We kept kissing until we had to break apart when they all starting splashing us with water, so we started splashing back.

We stayed in the water until it started to get dark and no one questioned why Joey and I kept kissing each other.

Once it started getting too dark to see we got out of the lake and started a bon fire. We grabbed seats and Don had given us towels and blankets to lie on and wrap ourselves in.

I was sitting on the the floor on a blanket with Meredith when Joey came over with a blanket over his shoulders, sat down behind me and wrapped me in it.

His arms were wrapped right around me hugging me tightly, his head was resting on my shoulder. Don brought out his guitar and started playing, Dylan started singing along and everyone slowly joined in.

Joey and I were swaying to the music and roasting marshmallows.

He leaned in even closer to me ear. "I think I'm falling in love with you"

I turned my head towards him, shocked.

He looked up at me hopeful and expecting.

I leaned in and kissed him, softly and slowly. And we stayed like that for a very long time.

When I finally broke the kiss I looked right into his eyes.

"Me too" I said.

We kissed again and turned our attention towards the fire, where they were all singing a new song.
