"Would You Like To Know Me?"

Part 6

Hanging up the phone with you, Paul sat back in his chair taking a deep breath. "God that girl is amazing even just talking to over the phone." smirking to himself wondering what life was going to be like if they did keep connecting. A banging on the door shook him from his thoughts, "Stanley opens up we know you're still awake and alone!!!" Rolling his eyes he quickly opened up the door to Gene and Eric.

" You both realize it's after midnight and there are other people in this hotel trying to sleep, right? Paul asked as he rolled his eyes and stepped back so they could come in.

"Aww, who cares Paul, come out with us the nights young and there are tons of women to be had," Gene said with a devilish grin.

"Or come watch him make a fool out of himself and have a beer with me," Eric says trying to find another way out.

" No way!!! Drinking with you Eric leads to possible fights and waking up in the wrong state" point at Gene " as for you, I have no interest in watching you cheat on your girlfriend or watch your numbers increase on your chances to catch something." Since we left the last town you have done nothing but stay on the phone in your free time, what that girl you were talking in Oklahoma catches your interest you didn't give any details like usual" Eric asked

Pushing both of them to the door " Goodnight boys I'll see you at soundcheck tomorrow, try not to do anything stupid " Paul says quickly shutting the door.

Deciding to head to bed knowing he had an interview on the itinerary he would need to be as sharp as possible.

6 am and the alarm buzzed beside him. Turning it off he looked down seeing he had a good hour to work out before he would need to be showered and ready to head out to do all the usual media stuff in each town.

Grabbing his gear, Paul headed down the elevator thoughts drifting to you, though after Evan his thoughts seemed to always be you. The ding of the elevator doors again shook his thoughts. Walking past the hotel front desk he gave a nod of hello to the desk clerk. Arriving at the small gym, he thankfully found he had it to himself.

Running on the treadmill, getting lost in the music in his headphone. "How can I make this work with Y/N, with me being in California and her being in Oklahoma, before heading home to Evan I'm going to back and see her," Paul thought to himself.

His workout time flew by and he quickly made his way upstairs to his room to primp himself up for the 4 interviews he had. Each interviewer with the same exact same questions. He hoped the band especially Gene would stay in check, keeping the answers simple. Especially when the questions of reuniting with Ace and Peter.

The phone ringing drew him from his thoughts. "Yeah?" Paul said sounding more annoyed than he intended. It was Rick the tour manager letting him know it was time to leave. "I'm on my way down now Rick." hanging up the phone.

Grabbing his stuff and checking himself over one last time he headed to the lobby finding himself the first one there for once. 15 minutes later he saw the guys coming out of the elevator, Gene and Eric looking like they hadn't gotten any sleep.

"You guys gonna be in any shape to do this interview or am I and Bruce going to have to carry the weight, so we don't look stupid? " Paul asked pissed at the shape of those two. Gene may not drink but he looked as he had been worked over."Let's just get in the van and get this over before a fight breaks out and ruins the day before even soundcheck. Bruce said pushing Paul out the door.

The day flew by pretty fast and without any issues, which Paul was thankful for. Arriving back to the hotel to rest for a bit before the concert, he looked over at the clock reading 3 o clock and looking at the phone. Knowing you weren't off work yet and gig night you guys wouldn't get to talk on the phone. " Fuck it," he said picking up the phone even if he didn't get to talk to you on the phone, Paul wanted you to know he was thinking of you.

Three rings and the voicemail picked up. "Y/N it's Paul, I just wanted to leave you a quick message and let you know I was thinking of you. I'll call you Wednesday bye." hanging up the phone with a smile on his face, Paul headed to the van to head to the arena.
