Pentatonix... Touring and Finding Love

Chapter Eleven

The show went great and the group was still amped up with energy.  They decided to go out and celebrate.  They arrived at the restaurant where the hostess brought them to the private room in the back.  They walked back to the table and Kirstie walked back with Mitch whispering in his ear, “Who do I sit by?”

Mitch smiled and said, “Whoever you want to sit by.”

“I don’t want to hurt anyone.” Kirstie said.

Mitch patted her on the back, “You won’t.  Hang back and wait for everyone else to sit.  The seats will appear.  Besides, you can sit by me.”

Kirstie linked arms with Mitch and smiled and entered the private room laughing.  She looked around and saw that everyone was seated and there were two empty spots.  Mitch winked at her and smiled and said, “See, I told you.”

“Yep, you did.” Kirstie said. 

The two empty seats were between Scott and Kevin.  Avi was sitting on the other side of the table across from Kevin.  Kirstie sat down beside Scott and Mitch sat beside her.  Scott looked over as she sat and smiled, “I’m glad you sat here.”

Kirstie smiled and said, “Me too.” She quickly glanced at Avi who was staring at her.  She smiled and then looked at the menu.  They were all starving.  The waitress came around and took some drink orders and went to go get them.  She came back with the drinks really quickly and decided to give them a few more minutes before ordering the food. 

“What are you going to get?” Scott asked Kirstie as he reached down under the tablecloth and reached for Kirstie’s hand.  Kirstie almost jumped because she wasn’t expecting it.  Scott had lightly touched her hand and turned it so he could hold it.  She held it and felt her heart race a little bit.  She wondered if Scott could feel her heart beating through her fingertips because she felt like it was going to burst out of her chest.  She giggled to herself and Scott smiled. 

“I don’t know, maybe the grilled chicken.” Kirstie said.  “How about you?” she asked Scott.

“I am suddenly not in the mood for food.” Scott answered softly with a small smile as he squeezed her hand.

Kirstie blushed.  She laughed and then looked back at her menu.  Was Scott flirting with her?  Was he actually really flirting with her?  She needed to finish that kiss that they almost had.  She heard Avi in the distance of her mind and then snapped out of it and said, “What did you say, Avi?”

Avi repeated, “Kirstie, you were so good tonight.  Your voice was amazing!”

“Aw, thanks, you were amazing too.  In fact, everyone was.”  Kirstie said as she raised her glass. 

“Here’s to us,” she said.

Everyone tapped their glasses together and drank. 

The waitress came around and collected the orders and menus.  She said that it shouldn’t be long.  Everyone was having a great time.  Mitch was talking with the driver and tour manager.  Kevin and Avi were talking about the great arrangements of the night.  Scott and Kirstie were both sitting quietly.  Scott still had Kirstie’s hand.  She turned to Scott and softly said, “So, earlier this evening, in your dressing room?”

Scott smiled, “What about it?”

“What happened?” Kirstie said with a smile back.

“I don’t know.  I think that we both know what was about to happen.” Scott said.

“Is that something that you want?” Kirstie asked.

Scott nodded and said, “Yes.  Is it something that you want?”
