Two Months N.M

t h i r t y o n e

Nate Maloley

I had figured that Devon would be late to the show because I knew shed have a horrible headache from her drinking last night. I also figured she'd be late because we stayed up till almost five thirty talking about stupid stuff and listening to music. She promised me she'dbe at the show.

She'd only be late or miss the show because of what I mentioned and it wouldn't bother me that much because I spent time with her which is why she'd miss it. If she couldn't make it I know she'd text me apologizing over and over.

During rehearsal and soundcheck any chance I got to check my phone I took it, just checking to see if she texted. Hayes texted me though saying she was still asleep when it was almost show time. I just repiled to him with an okay and carried on with what I was doing.

By the time I finished my first song and was about to start my next I looked over to see Devon and the Griers who weren't there when I started. I ran off stage really quick but I was still in view of fans.

"You made it." I states with a smile.

She smiled up at me. "I promised. I would of been here earlier if someone didn't keep me up all night." She teased.

"Ooo-" Hayes started to tease.

"Not like that." I glared at Hayes.

"Nate," Devon said bringing my attention back to her. "Go." She nudged me back to the stage.

I looked back at the curious fans then looked back at her. Without thinking I placed a kiss on her lips then walked back on stage ready to finish my part. My mind didn't go back to what I did till the moment right after when I was walking back and the fans cheered.

"Thank you so much!" I yelled into the mic and walked off stage with a huge smile plastered on my face.

"You were amazing." Devon smiled up at me. I pulled her into my side as we walked to the lounge. We could hear Rupp talking into the mic hyping everyone up.

Devon and I sat on the couch her facing me and my arm wrapped around the back of the couch. We just hung out and one by one the boys joined us. Derek being the first.

When Swazz walked in Derek was lining up his shot. "Just toss it I'll catch it." Devon groaned because he was taking forever. Her groaning caused me to laugh while he rolled his eyes.

He tossed the grape up in the air and Devon jumped forward catching it in her mouth. She jumped up and got in my face. "Boom!" She shouted with a smile.

"What'd I walk in on?" I heard Swazz laugh when I grabbed her and flipped to underneath me on the couch. I held her arms above her head with one hand and used the rest of my body from letting her move her legs. I just my free hand and started to tickle her.

"You beat me by one." I told her tickling her.

"Your s-such a so-sore lose-r." She got out between laughs.

She broke her arms free and grabbed my hands. I stared her dead in the eye smiles spread acrossed our faces. I wanted to kiss her then and there but Derek and Swazz were less than ten feet away.
