Honeypie (Oliver Sykes)

29

"Oh, Las Vegas, Nevada how I've missed you." Nicholls cried out as he stepped off the bus. How were any of them considered celebrities was beyond her. They were more like grown children with ADHD and ADD that knew how to sing. Many times during warmups she would have to get them back on track because one second they'll be practicing and the next Jordan is missing. 

"I feel you, mate." Lee added as he stepped off the bus after Nicholls. Oliver took in a deep breath as he hit the bottom step of the bus. 

"Either move or I'm kicking you." He turned to give her a challenging look to which she smiled sheepishly. He moved out the way and regrouped with Lee. The lead guitarist immediately agreed once Oliver proposed the idea of him tagging along to the Grand Canyon. Unlike Jordan and the two Matts. Lee loved the outdoors no matter how unbearable it was. Oliver was in the middle. Sometimes he'd tag along with the trio and explore the many bars and clubs while sometimes he tagged along with Lee who was more or less exploring the middle of nowhere. Thankfully Evelyn was a Lee 2.0 so they'd have each other to roam the desert with. 

"Got everything?" Evelyn asked once she made it to the two men. They nodded and Oliver spotted the Uber he had ordered ten minutes prior. The trio climbed into the Uber and Evelyn gave the driver the information since she had the more easier to understand accent out of the three of them. As rambunctious as the two men could be around her and the band, when it came to actually speaking outside of concerts, they were very soft spoken and would usually just mumble their words. It wasn't long before the scenery around them turned to nothing and Oliver was regretting his decisions already. He couldn't wait to move more northeast to where it was colder. Nebraska or maybe one of the Dakotas. Anywhere but the west coast. Evelyn laced her fingers with Oliver's and she gave him a reassuring squeeze. She could feel the uncertainty oozing off of him and all she wanted to do was laugh but of course she had to be the caring person here. Lord knows Lee wasn't going to cure Oliver's underlying irritation to the heat. He didn't look it, but that man had quite the temper when it came to heat and his discomfort. The driver stopped at some kind of resort and the three got out of the car. Lee was grinning the whole time and Evelyn couldn't help but grin as well. This was one of the places on her bucket list and she had a feeling she'd be scratching off a lot of places on her bucket list thanks to Oliver. 

"Ok. We have five hours until the concert. Please don't make me stay here the whole five hours." Oliver informed and checked a few notifications on his phone. The duo nodded and quickly went ahead. They stepped on the glass horseshoe that hung over the canyon and Evelyn made a beeline for the barrier. She stared out at the colorful rocks and spotted a dead bush or an animal scurrying along the canyon walls. Other than that, the canyon was bare, but that's what made it beautiful. 

"I was dragged along to stare at rocks. Could've done that back at the venue, love." She elbowed Oliver in the stomach and he made a noise. Why would anyone want to stare at rocks? It made no sense to him. Although anything that wasn't music didn't make sense to him. But he endured the sweltering heat and boring scenery because he loved the strawberry blonde that was bouncing around the glass walkway as if it wouldn't break at any second and kill all of them. He actually envied that woman. She was able to get joy from the littlest thing. He did too, but he wasn't this ecstatic about rocks. 

"Oliver! Come take a picture with me!" she called from the other side of the horseshoe. He made his way over towards her and leaned on the railing next to her. She angled her phone so she could get both them and the background in the picture. She smiled brightly and her excitement must have rubbed off on him because he found himself smiling just as bright at the camera. The next picture she turned and puckered her lips. He wasn't going to pass a chance to kiss her and he connected their lips as she snapped the picture. He continued to kiss her and she happily obliged by melting into the kiss. They pulled away and she pouted. 

"We're still in public, love." he reminded her and she ignored that fact and pulled him down for another kiss. 

"Ew, get a room." They pulled away and glared at Lee who was horrified. 

"Well I got all the pictures I needed." he said while holding up his phone.
