fan crazy

[The next morning]

"Nick, wake up! It's nine o'clock and we want to explore Texas for the day," Edwin says. Which he actually screams in my face but whatever.

I uncover myself from all the blankets and I stand up next to my bunk. "I can't go."

He turns around quickly and looks at me with a pissed off look. "And why not? What do you have to do in Texas?"

"I have a date."

"A what?"

I roll my eyes while I take my shirt off to change, "I have a date. Did you hear me that time? I know it's surprising, but I have a date."

"Who the hell are you going on a date with? How did you already meet someone?"

"Bet it's the girl from the meet and greet," Zion says while walking through the door. He sits down on his bunk and looks at me with a smirk plastered on his face. "Ah, I knew it. What's her name again?"

"Milan."

"Wow. A fan," Edwin says, "Full respect, my guy. Go get her then!"

I laugh lightly, "Am I dumb for doing this?"

"Hell no. She is just like any other person. Fan or not. That shit don't matter," Zion says.

"Thanks guys."

"Well I'm going to go tell Brandon to stop producing shit and to actually get ready," Edwin says.

"Good idea," I yell as he is already out the door.

I put my pants on and then I freshen up with some cologne and deodorant. I go to the small bathroom on the bus and I brush my teeth super fast.

Once I'm ready I go back to where the bunks are at and I see Zion still on his phone. He looks really upset.

"You okay?"

"Taylor and I are fighting again," he says.

"Why? What happened now?"

"She doesn't think she can come out anymore for tour because of work and I got mad at her. I may have gone off on her and now we are fighting."

"She can't help it though if it's because of work," I say, "She has to work to get money and to live. This is how you live. Because of tour. This is your work. Our work is fun. Hers isn't."

He sits up on the bed and shakes his head, "Yea, but they have so many people that work there and her boss promised her the time off. What if she is cheating on me?"

"Please tell me you didn't accuse her of cheating on you?"

He doesn't say anything so I assume that he accused her of cheating.

I roll my eyes, "You can't just accuse a girl for cheating. Especially when you are the one on tour. She should be the one worried about you cheating."

"I would never do that to her though."

"No you wouldn't. We all know you wouldn't do that, but she wouldn't either. This time you are in the wrong. You need to apologize to her."

"I know I know. I will," he says. He sighs and lays back down on the bed. "Thank you. And have fun with Milan."

"Thanks."

I grab my phone and wallet and I head out the door. I'm really excited to hang out with Milan today and see where this goes.

[At the mall]

"Hey, how are you?" I ask while giving her a huge hug.

"I'm doing really good. How are you?" Damn I love her voice. It's so soft and so soothing.
