“Of course." She gives me a dazed smile. “I want you to feel like this is your space too. You're not guests. This will be your home away from home. I mean it. It’s only going to be for a few more months, then we can figure out where to go from there.”
“Okay.” I smile, nodding excitedly.
After we get the grand tour, Nate lets us know we need to get on the road if we’re going to make it to our next destination on time.
The next several hours are spent driving. We pass the time talking and playing games.
It’s honestly perfect. Our packs meld together so effortlessly. It’s almost too good to be true. Every once in a while, I sneakpeeks at Ally, as if to check to make sure this is real. That she’s actually here.
She’s sitting next to me, her hand almost always in mine, but it’s still not enough.
Sometimes I catch her watching me. We laugh, and she gives me a wink before going back to talking to whomever.
It’s not until about seven hours in that I start to feel stir-crazy.
“Are we almost there yet?” Ally groans as she stands and stretches. My eyes go to her stomach when that bit of skin shows, her jeans hanging low on her waist.
Brady is sitting on her other side, and I catch him watching as my eyes glance over to him.
He looks at me with heated eyes, letting me know he likes what he sees too, and my stomach flutters with need.
Not one bit of jealousy, only eagerness to have both of them at the same time.
“We’re ten minutes away,” Nate answers, checking his phone.
“I don’t think I’ve asked, but where is your next show?”
Ally grins, excitement dancing in her eyes. “Vegas, baby!”
“Really?” My eyes light up with excitement. “We’re going to Vegas?"
“Yup. Three shows, two weeks, then off to New York. Then, we'll dip into Canada to do a show in Toronto, before heading to Boston. After that, we’ll travel down along the East Coast until finally making our way back to LA.”
“Wow. And how long does that normally take you?”
“Should be what, three months?” Ally asks Nate, and he nods.
“How many shows do you have left?” Gavin asks.
“About seven.”
“If there’s only seven, why three months? Do you space it out so you can enjoy time in between?" Brady asks.
Ally’s eyes flick over to Liam and Nate’s. They all share a look before Liam grumbles. “That‘s something we need to talk about.”
“What’s wrong?” My stomach sinks.
“We set about a week each month for... downtime,” Nate says.
“So, like exploring and stuff?”
“No,” Ally says. “For my heat.”
“Oh.” My eyes widen as I blink. How the hell could I forget about our heat? Shit, I didn't even think about that. I just ended mine a few days ago, so I shouldn't have it again for another month, but I don’t think I want to have it here on the bus.
“We normally book a hotel for that week.” Ally chews on her lip. “The guys use that time to do their own thing, explore, have fun, get into trouble, that kind of thing.” She laughs it off. “These two kind of just stay nearby.”
“Nearby?” Brady frowns, looking at Nate and Liam. “What do you mean by nearby? Shouldn’t they be in there with you?”
