Life on Tour: Part II

Caroline's POV

I was leaned against the wall in the hallway of the venue waiting on Luke to find the damn hat he was looking for before he headed towards the stage. I had flown in earlier today to spend a few days with him. I could hear him in the dressing room grumbling, muttering, and tossing shit. What did it matter? He had a million of them just pick one. I heard footsteps approaching as I looked up from my phone. I glanced over to see Carter strutting down the hall with a little extra swagger in his step. I raised an eyebrow in question must be some good shit in the cup in his hand tonight. He leaned against the doorframe whistling to get Luke's attention as I heard him let out a whoop at finding the hat he was looking for.

"LB," Carter said with a wide toothy grin at Luke as he looked at him. "Why in the hell did you not tell me last night that Allie was filling in as photographer. Dude! The way she filled out those skin tight jeans......damn!"

"Serious Carter," I said with a snicker pushing his shoulder as I rolled my eyes. "You wouldn't stand a chance with her." I turned my attention towards my husband as he got his ball cap settled just so on his head. I poked his t-shirt covered chest giving him a look. He should have told me she was here. I have freaking missed having Allie around. Ever since the divorce she has thrown herself into work. "Why yes Luther, why didn't you tell me she was here."

"I dunno," Luke said with a shrug. "I got busy baby. And you horndog, I figured I was better off not telling you."

"Oh come on man!" Carter said poking his lip out and taking another sip from his cup before grinning. "Ya know she's single. Cole told me her and Jake split up."

Luke wrapped an arm around me to head towards the stage with Carter falling in step with us. I couldn't help it. I started laughing at the thought of him having a shot with Allie. I had been shocked when she and Jake had started quietly dating. Never would have pegged her to go for him, but I had only ever seen her with Brantley before then.

"Pftt... please," I scoffed at Carter pushing his shoulder making Luke laugh. "I haven't seen her lately buddy, but mark my words, Jake or no Jake, she hasn't ever gotten over the big guy. You don't stand a chance in hell."

"Just you watch Caroline," he said with a smirk. "I'll lay on the charm so thick she won't be able to resist me. Besides all of our crew know she and BG can't stand each other now. So, he's no competition."

"Whatever man!" Luke said with a chuckle kissing the top of my head. "You don't stand a chance man and I have money on something so don't screw it up."

"And what would that be mister," I asked poking his side.

"Oh you will see," Luke said giving me a wink as we walked closer to back stage. I stopped in my tracks for a second as I looked up and saw Brantley standing there with his back to us. I couldn't see the girl but he had his arms wrapped around her and was leaned in real close talking to her. I smacked Luke in the arm shaking my head. Shit, this wasn't gonna go well. He let BG drop by with some skank knowing Allie was going to be here. Oh lord, I hope they checked her for firearms earlier. "Owww baby! What the hell was that for!"

"Really Thomas Luther," I growled pointing towards Brantley as Carter grinned beside me. No doubt figuring this was his in with Allie. "You let BG come by with some skank and Allie is here! How could you do that to her!"

"Trust me baby," Luke said with a laugh popping me on the ass as I glared at him. "Behave and be nice. We all just trying to have a good time tonight."

"Fine," I grumbled as we walked closer. "But don't expect me to be nice to the latest skank he's brought around. I swear I still want to beat Jana for sticking her hand down your pockets! YOUR DAMN FRONT POCKETS!"
