Two's Company, Three's Love

Chaustin 2

She missed the show because she slept through half of it. When she woke up, she realized she had to get her trash picked up and there were still things on the bus she needed to do. Getting the bathroom mats down, for instance. Putting away all the cleaning supplies. Getting all the silicone ware washed and put up. Finding a space to put the new vacuum cleaner and getting rid of the box it came in. She also needed to put the items Adam had asked her to pick up for him and Tim on his bed.

All she had done was a bit of shopping and she felt wore out! She had gotten so busy doing the things she needed to, she didn't hear Luke board the bus. He thought she was still asleep in her bunk, so he headed to the bathroom to use the facilities. Opening the door, he found her putting down the bathroom mats. Hearing the door opening up made her squeal in fright. Luke laughed since she had scared him too. Hearing Luke laughing made her start laughing. He let her finish what she was doing and tried to not be in her way.

She grabbed all the trash from the bath mats and her new bedding and stuffed it into a trash bag. There would be at least one bag of trash needing to be taken out tonight. Before anyone else boarded the bus, she threw the bag with Adam & Tim's stuff onto Adam's bed. Luke was walking back up front when he ran into her grabbing her phone off her bunk.

Tim: Hey sweetness! We're wondering where you are? Are you not gonna see the show tonight? Are you feeling ok? XoXo

She had to smile seeing the text Tim had sent her over an hour ago.

Amarelle: Sorry, fell asleep. Now I'm trying to get everything washed and put up & trash taken out :/ I'll see y'all after the show

It made her feel bad, but she really needed the nap and there were things she still needed to do on the bus. Luke said he'd go and get some pizza for dinner while the boys were in the signing line. Amarelle thanked him making him smile warmly at her. There was a small closet near the kitchen that she thought was just big enough to fit the vacuum.

Tim: Aww ☹

Amarelle: LOL I'm sorry...I'll catch every show I can from now on....was just too much I need to do on the bus while there's no one here :/

Tim: It's ok baby, I understand. We'll see you after the show!

She had to smile. It always made her feel good to hear them express how they missed her. They always made her feel wanted. Before she got to washing all the silicone, collapsible items, she took the vacuum and gave the bus a thorough vacuuming. She was satisfied with how the vacuum did as she put it in its new home. The next, and hopefully final, task was getting all the stuff washed. She'd already put up the cleaning supplies.

She was almost done with washing everything that needed it before she put it away when Luke boarded the bus. There were four boxes of pizza in his hands, which he set on the stove. She thanked him as she finished up the washing. Once everything was washed, she set it aside to dry. Silicone, thankfully, dried rather quickly. Luke said the boys were almost done and should be boarding the bus soon. They'd be leaving for the next venue within the hour. She gathered all the trash and took it out before the boys could board.

***********************************************

Amarelle had been touring with the band for a few months. Despite her worries about not finding work while traveling had proven to be unfounded. As a matter of fact, the opposite was happening. She felt like she was drowning in work. Things were going great between her and the two loves of her life. They did their best to spend time together despite her work taking a good chunk of her time and how tired they were after shows.
