Arm sat up in bed.
It was Saturday morning.
Yesterday had been a mess.
Arm had opened his studio a few weeks back.
Finally, he had stared to see results.
Even if it was small.
Arm could hear the shower running in the bathroom.
It made him smile.
He was sure that person had already left in the early hours of morning.
Arm started to re-pack his bag.
Getting ready to leave.
***
Off opened the trunk to the car. Putting his bag as well as Guns in.
They were getting ready to head over to get Tay.
"It's nice we got a driver." Gun said smiling.
They both got in the van. Sitting in the back.
"Mhm" Off said. "Arm wasn't home this morning"
Gun turned looking at him.
"Papi, try to call Arm. If he is not coming along, we need to find someone else."
Off grabbed his phone from his bag. Calling Arm from the back of the minibus.

Tay was sitting on his bed smiling. He looked over at were Lee was laying; in bed, curled up in a ball.
Tay laid back down next too Lee. Pulling Lee towards himself. Kissing his neck.
"Tay, what are you doing? I want to sleep more."
Lee opened his eyes looking at Tay from over his shoulder. Tay was smiling. Shining. Lee covered his eyes smiling.
"Your dazzling me Tay." Lee let his hands drop.
"Saturday came to fast; I don't want to leave the bed today."
Lee put his hands on Tays shoulders pulling him closer.
"Thank you. For not leaving"
Tay's eyes widened. "Why would I leave?"
"Because I put you through so much, even when I want to be next to you something is always coming in the way."
Tay leaned forward "We are entertainers. We do what is expected of us. It's the business that decide for how long we have work, so we have to work hard to meet the goals set for us."
Lee smiled.
"That's deep, on a Saturday, early in the morning"
"Did you finish pacing yesterday?"
Tay asked still looking at Lee.
"Mm, it's in the car. I didn't see the point of taking it in when we were leaving so early."
***
Arm grabbed a small bag.
It was only a one-night trip.
Arm felt the warmth behind him.
"Are you packed?" he asked.
Turning around he met the eyes of a tall slimmer male.
"Mm everything is packed. It's just a one-night trip."
Arm tugged the younger man closer by his hoodie.
Kissing him as their lips found each other.
***
The minibus stopped outside Tay's place.
Off gout out first.
Gun followed; they had tried to get a hold of Tay who did not answer his phone.
"Hoyy, why can't he answer. It's his birthday trip." Gun exhaled.
Gun turned around not seeing where Off had disappeared to.
"Papi" Gun said looking around.
"It's not funny. Stop hiding"
Gun took his phone up trying to call Papi.
It rang once.
It rang twice.
**
Off answered as the third ring came in.
"What, I'm just helping Tay with his things. He is bringing to much" Off said.
"Lee was also here. He should be down with you now. He has his stuff in his car."
Off hung up grabbing Tays bag as Tay locked the door.
"Have you gotten Arm yet?" Tay asked.
Off pushed the door open "No we figured its best to get you first. Then Arm. You might get lost otherwise. It was just easier."
Tay laughed. "That might be true."
Tay opened the outer door. A few steps later they saw Lee putting his bag in the minibus. Gun standing with his arms crossed.
"Papi" he said. "Don't just leave like that."
Off looked at Gun with a shocked face.
"I saw Lee, so I went talking to him. He let me inside before going to get his bag."
"Lee you stayed her?"
Lee looked at Gun without showing any expression or sign of answering his question.
