"What's going on in here?" Scooter said, walking into our small bedroom. Austin quickly sat up and looked at me. I didn't sit up because I was completely naked.
"Uh, it was a busy night last night, Austin was showing me some of the music he was working on and I guess we just fell asleep" I said. He looked at both of us like he knew we were full of shit.
"Okay" he nodded "as long as there's nothing going on here, while we're on tour at least" he said. We both nodded.
"Well, get up, the show is in 2 hours" scooter said and walked out. We both got out of the bed. Austin threw his sweatpants on and walked over to me. I was still naked, searching for clothes. He grabbed my waist and pulled me into him, so my back was pressed to his body.
"That could have been so bad" he chuckled.
"Yeah I know, so why don't you stop touching me" I said pushing off of him.
"Oh come on, he's not even on the bus anymore" Austin said and pulled me close to him once again. I smiled and kissed his lips gently. He smiled and reached down to grab my ass, and gave it a slight squeeze.
"Okay, now you can get dressed" he said giving it a slap. I put on an oversized sweatshirt and thigh high boots. Austin made our way off the bus and into the arena.

I waited on the side of the stage for my que to make my way out. Austin walked back and I looked up him confused.
"Where's the braids?" I asked. He ran his fingers through his long hair.
"They were looking bad, so I took em out" he said. "I'm going to get bangs" he said with a smile.
"Do not" I chuckled.
"It would be such a meme" he said excitedly.
"Ariana, thirty seconds" a man yelled. I nodded.
"Don't fall" he said. I gave him an annoyed look. "Or do, I don't really care" he shrugged and walked away. I rolled my eyes and made my way out to the stage.

- 1 Week Later-
"What's going on?" I asked, walking into the tour bus where Austin, Malcolm, and a random man I never seen before sat at the table.
"Malcolm brought his tattoo guy, so I'm getting more" Austin said. I slowly nodded my head and walked passed them into my room. I heard the door close behind me, I turned around to see Malcolm.
"So" he said walking towards me. "Have you thought about- you know?" He asked. I sighed and sat on my bed.
"I just don't think it'll work out between us" I said, looking down at my fingertips.
"Hey, it's okay, as long as we're still friends?" He said.
"Of course" I said nodding. He pulled me in for a hug and I hugged him back. We walked back out to the kitchen where Austin was making extensive eye contact with me.
"Well, I'm going to go- uh, go outside" I said and stumbled down the stairs.
Austin's POV
What possible reason would Ariana need to be in that room alone with Malcolm. It pissed me off, but I couldn't move, I had a tattoo needle in my arm. I had already gotten my fingers done and I was working on my arm now.
"She's great huh?" Malcolm said, smiling. I looked up at him and gave him a small smile.
"Wonderful" I nodded.
"I know she's kind of rude to you, but when you really get to know her, she's a really great person" he said.
"Yeah, I'm sure she is" I nodded.

"Let's go out tonight" Malcolm said as the tattoo man finished wrapping my arm.
"To where?" I asked. Malcolm shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know, you just turned twenty one right? Let's go to the bar, or club" he said.
"Shit, I'm down" I said taking a swig of beer.
"Alright, well go get ready, it's already 8" Malcolm said. I nodded and went to change.
I heard Ariana's voice when I started changing, so I quickly through my clothes on and made my way out so she wasn't with him alone.
"Where y'all goin?" She asked.
"Probably the club" Malcolm said.
"Oh fun" she said.
"Come with" he said with a smile.
"No, she's fine, she doesn't need to come" I chimed in. They both looked at me confused.
"Um- you know how you get when you drink" I said.
"Oh, true" she said.
"That and, she's not even twenty one, she wouldn't be able to get in anyway" I said.
"Yeah, I think I'm going to stay in, maybe write some new stuff" she smiled.
We said our goodbyes and Malcolm and I left.
