When I woke up this morning, Laura was already up and ready to go.
“What are you up so early for?” I yawned.
“Umm…aren’t you getting your bites today?” My stomach did a flip. Sure, I wanted them, but I was still nervous.
“I’m going to wake up Ashley.” Laura nodded. She understood that I was scared. I walked over to Ashley’s bunk, which was across from mine, one of the top bunks. I climbed up, and shook him, trying not to wake anyone else. “Ashley. Ashley. Wake up!” I sighed. It was going to be one of those days huh? I tried again. “Ashley! Wake up!” I sighed again when he didn’t react. I leaned down to whisper in his ear, and I felt myself getting pinned and my mouth covered. I closed my eyes, waiting, and when I opened them again, Ashley was smiling over me. I slapped his arm. ”Mmmkmmss!” I was trying to say ‘Jackass’ but it didn’t sound like that. He chuckled.
“Good morning.” He kissed my forehead, and took his hand from my mouth. “Why are you trying to wake me up so early?” I looked away from his face, not wanting to admit I was scared.
“I thought you might wanna see Michelle and her friends while I was getting the bites done.” He chuckled.
“Scared?”
“Pff. No.”
“You totally are.”
“Maybe a little. Come on, let’s get ready.” I tried to get up, but he held me down. “Can I get up please?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
‘You didn’t give me a kiss good morning.” I sighed. He pouted. “Why did you sigh?”
“Cause I thought it was for something I didn’t wanna do. Like a dare or something. It was a sigh of relief.” I smiled, and happily kissed him good morning. When we were done, he let me go and we both got ready to go. We met Laura out front of the bus, I think she was more excited than me about this. We walked over to Michelle’s bus, and a guy with bright red hair answered. I figured he was one of the band, but I had no idea who he was.
“I’m gunna go out on a limb here and say you are Amarie and Laura. And of course you are the sexy Ashley Purdy.”
“Yeah. I’m Laura. And you are-“
“Matthew. Bass player. Wears the orange wig. Recognize me at all?”
“Of course. I couldn’t tell cause now the hair is red and you’re not wearing all that makeup.” I smiled, and he smiled back.
“LAURA! AMARIE! YOUR BACK!” Matthew moved out of the way as Michelle came running to give us a hug. “Guess what?!”
“What?”
“We are doing the whole tour this year!” I hugged her again.
“That’s so great! Are you guys trying to get known now?”
“Yeah. Jacob wasn’t too happy he was outvoted, but I wanted to stay with you guys, L.J likes you, too, and Matthew wanted to meet you.” She turned to Matthew. “Aren’t they so nice?”
“I don’t know. You interrupted me before we really could talk.” I interrupted them.
“Who’s L.J?” They looked at each other.
“You know how James looks a lot like Jinxx only with shorter hair?” Ashley entered the conversation now.
“Does he really?”
“Yeah. So we call him L.J, or Little Jinxx.” They laughed.
“It’s really not that funny!” We heard a voice from inside say.
“Oh yeah, would you guys like to come in? You haven’t met Jacob yet.” We nodded. When we were in the bus, we saw James and the person I assumed was Jacob.
“Hi. I’m Laura. This is Amarie and Ashley.”
“I’m the only guy you haven’t met I guess. I’m Jacob.” I nodded. Michelle went over and cuddled up next to James and Matthew went and sat on Jacob’s lap. “Dude! Get off!” He shoved Matthew to the floor.
“It’s a shame your hot but don’t have a nice personality.” Matthew pouted.
“Oh yeah, Matthew is gay, by the way.” Matthew looked at Michelle.
“You mean they didn’t know that already?”
“Boy, I’m not gunna share our life stories.” He looked at Michelle with a look in his eyes.
“Yeah, but you should’ve told them so they didn’t start hitting on my hotness.” Laura laughed.
“Dude, we are married. I’m really not looking for another guy.” I looked at him.
“I love your hair, though.”
“Really?” I nodded. “I’m a hairdresser. Want me to do something similar?” I shook my head.
“My hair only holds color when I bleach it.”
“Not true.” I looked at him, confused. “It was most likely the dye mixed with the shampoo you were using. Try something color saving, it will help.” I nodded.
“I will try, but I’m here for something Michelle can help me with.” I smiled at her. She gasped and shot up.
“You’re getting them?” I nodded.
“What do you got?” She jumped for joy then went and got her kit. She had just about everything. In the end, I decided on plain red and green. Now, it was time to get the piercings. She made little dots and asked me if that was OK. I nodded. I squeezed Ashley’s hand and he chuckled. It really didn’t hurt as much as I thought it would. She explained how to take care of them, and then we all hung out in their bus for a little while. I guess it wasn’t that bad…
