Another You - Austin Carlile, Tony Perry, Chris Motionless

Honeybee

"KATIE," I called from the kitchen. She came sprinting in, her Barbie back pack dragging behind her on the floor. I chuckled and picked it up for her and placed it on her back. "Are you ready, Sweetie?" 

She nodded and flashed me a thumbs up before biting into a strawberry that she grabbed off of the counter. "Is Uncle Austin coming with us?" 

"No hon, I've got to go work with Alan today," he reminded her from his place at the table. "But I'll be here tonight when you get home." 

I poured some coffee into my LA Kings to go cup and made sure I had everything that I would need for the day. Even if most of my day was going to be spent with Motionless In White about their upcoming tour. Great. 

"You ready, baby," Austin asked from behind me. He slowly wrapped his arms around my waist and let his head rest against my shoulder. I let out a sigh and let my head rest slightly on top of his. "You're going to be fine." 

"I know," I groaned. "I just don't want to go on tour again." 

He chuckled and pulled me closer to him making me squeal. "Then don't," he murmured. 

"I can't just bail on them, Sweetie," I replied quietly. He pressed a kiss to my shoulder where my Blessed Be tattoo was and I let out another groan. "Please don't start this now." 

He huffed out a laugh and kissed up my neck. "This is the price you pay when we don't have morning sex," he whispered. 

I pushed him off of me and spun around to peck his lips gently. I wrapped my arms around his neck and smiled. "I guess we'll just have to go longer tonight," I teased. 

His eyebrows went up as his eyes widened. "Oh, I'm so up for that." 

"But," I interjected. "Right now, I have to get going or I'll be late." 

He kissed me again and slapped my ass. "Have a great day, Honey!" 

I laughed and grabbed my car keys and Katie. "You too, Sweet Heart," I called before leaving. 

"Are you and Austin going to get married one day," Katie asked as I was getting her in the backseat of my car. I laughed and shrugged my shoulders. "I think you guys should." 

"Me too," I sighed quietly so she wouldn't hear before I started the car and made the 30 minute drive to the office. I was happy that Austin and I decided to stay at his place Saturday and Sunday night so I could wake up at a decent time to get to work this morning. I don't want to fully move away from San Diego and I don't really want to live full time in L.A but for now this will have to work.

"Okay well as far as I know, Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! is going to be on their Euro tour for 3 weeks before heading State side," I reminded Dexter, who runs the Europe side of things. 

He sighed, "So are we going to try and book them for any festivals this year?" 

"They've done Slam Dunk in the UK for the last two years so I'm going to say that they'll give that one a miss this year. But, they had such a good following at Warped these past two years and Kevin wants to bump them up to the main stage," I enthused. 

"Alright well I guess that's what we'll do. So they've got time to hit the studio then," he muttered.

I nodded even though he couldn't see me. "Yes sir, that would be the case."

"Alright, thanks Rory," he cheered. "I'll speak with you soon." 

"Always a pleasure Dex, and yeah, speak soon!"
