I melted into the kiss, it was like all the static energy that had surrounded us all night was shocking my whole body. It felt like needles and pins, the hairs on my body stood up at his touch. I kissed him back my arms automatically finding their place behind his head. His hand travelled down to my ass, his large hand squeezing it gently. His fingertips just below the hem and grazing my skin. I pulled away abruptly.
"Shit, that shouldn't have happened" I pushed his chest so we where at least an arms length apart.
"You can't deny that it feels right Regan" he reached out and ran a hand down the bare skin on my thigh.
"Don't make me regret my decision to stay on tour Austin. We need to keep this professional. For Adams sake. Its not fair that he's caught in the crossfire. But you need to stop threatening to kick me off the tour" I stand with my hands on my hips
"I know, I'm a dick I get jealous and can't handle it. I'll be better" he scuffs his boot on the front step. "But can you promise me something?"
I take a deep breath "Promise what?"
"That if you feel like you want to give us a try you will talk to me? I know you. You will sit and not say anything. I'm all in Regan. I'll wait" he steps up and kisses my lips softly before jogging to the truck and driving away.

My mom helped me repack and talk through things in my head the next day. Then we spent the rest of the day together eating take out and watching films under a blanket on the sofa. Rich had said he would drop me and Austin off at the bus. I waited at the front door with my mom untill Rich and Austin arrived. My stomach did a nervous flip when I saw him. How1 does he make sweats crocs and a oversized tee look so sexy?
"What are those on your feet? I'm going to have to stay mom. I can't be in the same place as those obstrocitys I'm afraid" Austin looks down at me with an eyebrow clocked. I just shrug. "I don't make the rules Austin" he narrows his eyes at me and it dawns on me what he's going to do. I set off running but he's too tall and fast for me and he's threw me over his shoulder and is stomping his way over to the truck. "I love you Mom. See you at Christmas"
"You coming home for Christmas?" he asks as he throws me in the backseat.
"Yeah, why are you?" I smooth out my ruffled hair and strap myself in.
"Yeah, now we can go out on Christmas eve and get drunk!" he grins. "Have you told Adam your staying on?"
"Nope thought it would be a nice supprise. Let's just hope he hasn't replaced me" I cross my fingers. We drive in a comfortable silence. The radio humming low in the background. I looked at Austin as he watched the familiar town pass by us. I obviously still had an attraction to him, my body couldn't deny it. But this was going to be a long tour if we didn't we couldn't keep things simple. I couldn't take the stepping in and out of us having something more than just friendship. If we did this I wanted commitment. And I don't think he could give me what I want or deserve. Not right now. He was young and he has women throwing themselfs at him on a hourly basis. There's too much temptation and I can't compete with some of these beautiful girls. I just needed to get it out my head. He was chasing a pipe dream of the people we where. He turned his head and winked at me. That just proved my point to me. He couldn't be serious.
