Running in circles(Post Malone Story)COMPLETED

16

After wasting a sufficient amount of time during our mini photo shoot, Austin had stopped to take a seat on the small stool in front of the monitors to survey his hard work.I took a seat next to him a moment later and leaned my head on his shoulder, watching him as he scrolled through the photos."That's my favorite," He said, smiling down at me as he pointed to a candid shot on
the screen.I couldn't help but laugh quietly as he continued to scroll through, commenting every once and a while on the pictures.His scrolling was interrupted a moment later by his phone blaring loudly from his pocket. I moved my head from his shoulder as he pulled his phone out and glanced briefly at the screen."It's Mark, I'll be right back," He said as he stood up from his spot, leaning down quickly to press a kiss on the top of my head before taking off outside to answer his phone call.I let out a quiet sigh of content as I continued to peruse the photos when Adam finally appeared from the back, clutching a few camera bags in his hands.I jumped up from my spot and took two out of his hands in an attempt to lighten his load. 

He smiled at me as I followed him to a table where he was piling up all of our equipment for tour, "Thanks."I nodded and returned his smile as he fumbled with the bags."I think that's everything for tomorrow, do you have all of your stuff?" He questioned. 

"I do! I've got two bodies and more lenses than I can count," I chuckled, "Plus all this stuff," I said, motioning to the pile of equipment on the table. 

Adam nodded, satisfied before a smirk tugged at his lips, "I see you and Austin are getting along now," He teased. 

I rolled my eyes playfully and gave him a gentle push, "Hey, this is what you wanted isn't it?" 

He threw his hands up in defense, "I can't say I'm mad about it." 

Austin returned from outside a moment later and joined us at the table, "I've got to get going," he said softly, hanging his head for just a moment in disappointment.He turned to me, "Do you mind dropping me off at Mark's office?" He asked carefully as if I would say no. 

I mentally slapped myself, forgetting I had driven both of us to the studio and nodded quickly, patting my pockets to make sure I had my keys, "Of course!" 

"I'll see you tomorrow man," Austin said to Adam, taking him in for a quick hug. 

Adam nodded, the wide, excited smile never leaving his face as they pulled away from their embrace, "I can't wait."Austin reached down and took my hand in his, lacing his fingers with mine and gave Adam one last nod before turning to leave. I waved at Adam, "See you tomorrow!" I called out as we made our exit. 

"Don't be late!" He yelled back. 

As we stepped outside Austin let go of my hand briefly to pull a cigarette between his lips as we walked to the car.By the time we arrived at the car, he had just lit it. He took a quick puff as his hand rested on the door handle.He paused for a moment and looked up at me as I unlocked the car."What?" I questioned, noticing his hesitancy. 

He pulled the cigarette from his lips, "Do you mind if I smoke?" 

I shook my head and began to climb in, "No, go for it," I told him as I sat in the seat and closed the door.He followed suit and sat down in the passenger's seat, making sure to roll the
window down after pulling on his seatbelt.I started up the car and pulled out of the parking lot, heading to Mark's office. 

After a moment Austin let out a quiet laugh, "Your dad would die if he knew I was smoking in here," he joked, shaking his head slightly.
Joke's on you, he's already dead.
I let out a nervous chuckle and nodded, quickly changing the subject, "So what's the plan for tomorrow? Am I supposed to meet you guys at the office? Is the bus coming to get me?" I questioned, genuinely unsure of anything that was happening.
