Jack's POV:

"Will you sit the hell down?!" Rian says, pushing me into the booth. I'm so jittery I just have to keep moving around. I really have no idea why we took the tour bus but we did. We left around 10 this morning so we can set up, I also demanded that so I can see Cecilia before the show, not just at the m&g. I know for a fact we aren't leaving until Sunday, we are just parking the bus off campus, and far enough away from campus for the night.

"He's excited to see his lady." Alex says wiggling his bushy eye brows at me.

"Soon to be lady." I correct him. I actually feel nervous about seeing her. I haven't seen her for almost a month and a half, things could have changed. No, shut up Jack. Nothing has changed. It's only 12 o'clock now and we've been parked in a secluded area that's a few blocks away from campus for about a half hour. The equipment and bus will be brought on campus when it's closer to show time. Firstly, I'm on a mission. I dial Cecilia's number.

"Hey dip fuck." She answers laughing. God she's too cute.

"So anal bead, I was thinking maybe we go out to lunch?"

"Did you really just call me an anal bead?" She asks, sounding shocked.

"Sure did, anal bead."

"WOOOOOOOOOW." she says loudly on the other end if the phone, making me laugh. "So you guys are already here?"

"Of course, I wanted to spend time with you. I had to beg them to come this early."

"He really did!" Alex chimes up in the background.

"Aw. Yeah sure we can go out for lunch, were to? And where do you want to meet?"

"Is there a Chipotle within walking distance?"

"Yes."

"Meet me by Lance's coffee shop in 20 minutes."

"Okay. I'll be there, byee." I can tell she is blushing.

"See you then beautiful." With that we hang up. I grab my wallet out of my bunk and shove it in my back pocket.

"I've got a lunch date ladies." I say to the guys as I near the door to the bus.

"You should put your dog in the pound then make her yelp like a hound." Alex says throwing a condom at me. "The right selection is to protect your erection."

"While undressing her Venus cover your penis." Rian chimes up next, throwing yet another condom at me.

"If you feel the heat, you better wrap your meat." Matt says right after him, and without a hesitation throws a third condom at me. I'm honestly dying of laughter.

"Sex is cleaner with a packed wiener." Zack says next. Surprisingly he doesn't throw a condom at me. I know they are just busting my chops but it's making my face heat up.

(Thank you to my friends Lilly & Kyra for blowing up my phone with these plus more! They were too funny to pass up.)

"And on that note, I'm leaving. Toodles!" I say exiting the bus, before any other remark is said. I love them like family, but damn they are embarrassing. The temperature is perfect outside, not too cold nor too hot. This is why I love when fall rolls around. I admire the trees changing colors as I walk down the street to meet her. There's a spring in my step, just thinking about her has me smiling like I'm high.When I reach Lance's, I wait for her to show up. A few minutes later someone covers my eyes from behind.
