The Boss's Son

Seventeen - I Miss You

I'd barely been able to speak to Rye or any of the guys while they'd been away. I missed him so much, but I was so fucking happy for him. I kept up to date with their social medias and such (which they'd barely updated due to lack of WiFi in Europe) but aside from the odd text every few days, 'sorry we have no wifi, I love you baby!' i hadn't spoken to him since the phone call when they'd landed. And that, I could guess, had cost him a lot of fucking credit.

It was so different in work, no Jack, no Rye, and Beaumont was still being nice to me. I'd expected him to be pissed about me and Rye, or at least mention it, but nothing. He was very professional about the whole situation and I appreciated that. Though my stomach flipped when he called me into the office urgently one morning.

"Yes, Sir?" i said quietly as i peeped my head through the door.

"Take a seat," he said and gestured to the chair in front of his desk. I sat down with a nervous gulp and looked up at him as he continued, "i need to talk to you about something important."

"O-Of course, Sir," i nodded, trying not to freak out.

His serious expression suddenly turned into a smile and he started laughing, "you're not in trouble, Ryan's on the phone!"

"Holy- ...really?!" my eyes widened.

"Hey gorgeous!" Rye's voice sounded through Beaumont's speakerphone.

"Oh my god, Ryan! I've missed you so much!" i smiled leaning forward on the desk as if that'd get me closer to him.

"I've missed you too, baby," he said, "only a couple weeks left, though!"

"That's true, I can't wait to see you, but how's tour?! How's Europe? Are you guys enjoying it?!"

"It's amazing!" he laughed, "everywhere we've been is beautiful and I'm gonna bring you back to every one of them so you can see!"

"You're so sweet," i smiled softly, "thank you! I'm glad you're having fun, how are the European Roadies?"

"They're awesome! So crazy, it's amazing," he said and I loved how happy he sounded.

"Good! That's amazing," i smiled, "i'm so glad you're having so much fun! How's Jack?"

"Jack's awesome," he smirked, "he's having more fun than the rest of us, I think!"

I laughed, "yeah?"

"Yeah, his first tour is European one, that's gotta be sick!" he said excitedly, "but right, I'm gonna have to go - I'm on a payphone because I couldn't call England on my phone - I'm running out of change. But I love you baby!"

"I love you too, Beau," i smiled, "see you soon, have fun on the rest of tour!"

"We will!" he laughed, "bye baby, bye dad!"

"Speak to you soon, son," Beaumont said before the line went dead.

I smiled up at Mr. Beaumont, "thank you!"

"You're welcome, he said he would've called your own phone but he knew you'd be here," he smiled.

"Two birds with one stone, I guess," i smiled as i stood up, "thank you, I've missed him so much!"

"Me too," he nodded.
