Things Aren't Always As They Seem

"Hey, Daddy Andy?" I asked as Vic and I stepped onto the bus.

"Yeah?" He asked, looking up at us with his eyebrow raised.

"Can I stay on the PTV bus tonight, pweeaaassshhhh?" I pleaded.

"Uhm... I don't know..."

"Please, Andy?? I promise we'll behave over there." Vic said, folding his hands and giving him the puppy dog eyes, then nudged me to do it too. So I complied, trying not to laugh.

He sighed, "Fine... I guess. Juliet? Is it okay with you that she stays with PTV tonight?"

We turned our pleading gaze to her. "Yeah, sure that's fine with me." Momma Juliet said, laughing at our tactics.

"Yes!!!" I exclaimed, high fiving Vic. "Thank you Daddy Andy and Momma Juliet!!" I said, hugging them both.

"You're welcome," they chuckled.

"I'm gonna go brush my teeth and get some pj's, wannna come with?" I asked Vic excitedly.

"Sure!" He laughed, running to the bunk area.

I giggled and ran after him. "Hey, do you think when we get to your bus, I could borrow one of your shirts pweeaaassshhhh?" I asked him.

"Yeah, sure I don't care. Just make sure you grab what you need for tomorrow too." He smiled.

"Thanks!!!" I said, attacking him with a hug and giggling.

"You're welcome, now huurryyy!!" He chuckled and hugged back.

"Okaaayyy!" I grabbed a drawstring bag thingy from my suitcase and stuffed some clothes, my straightener, and some makeup in it. I ran to the bathroom and brushed my teeth quickly, then stuffed my toothbrush and toothpaste in my bag. I brushed through my hair, putting my hairbrush in my bag too, then grabbed some hairspray and a hairbow, adding that to my bag as well. I rushed back to where Vic was standing.

"Ready?" He asked, smiling. I nodded and he said, "well then, let's go!"

We ran back to the living room area where I hugged everyone bye. "I'll see you guys tomorrow!" I said excitedly, running out the door with Vic close behind me.

I heard the door open again, and Uncle Ashy leaned out, yelling something like "Don't forget to use protection!!" We both flipped him off and kept running to the PTV bus, laughing.

When we stumbled into the bus, no one else was in there, but I could hear snoring coming from where I'm assuming the bunk area was. Vic motioned for me to follow him, and started walking back towards a door that opened up to the bunks. He motioned to one of them and then pointed to himself, indicating that that was his. I nodded, and he pulled a shirt and some sweat pants out from his little cubby hole thingy, then tossed me the shirt.

'Thank you' I mouthed to him.

'You're welcome' he mouthed back, and smiled. He grabbed my hand and tugged me into the room in the back, then shut the door. "Do you want to sleep back here, or would you rather us sleep on the couch?" He whispered.

"Whichever is fine with me."

"Okay, well we'll have more privacy back here. I'll go to the bathroom to brush my teeth and get dressed. You can go ahead and get dressed, I'll knock before entering."

I nodded and he walked back out. I took my jeans and tank top off, slipping his shirt over my head and straightening it out. It went to about mid-thigh on me. I grabbed some shorts and slipped them on under his shirt, but it looked like I didn't have any on making me giggle softly.

I heard a light knock, and whispered "come in."

The door opened and Vic came inside, shutting the door again and locking it. His eyes widened when he saw me. "Do you have anything on under my shirt?" He slightly choked out.

I lifted the shirt some, showing him my shorts and he let out a sigh of relief, making me giggle. "Why, was I not supposed to have anything on underneath it?" I smirked as he shuffled around uneasily.

"Relax, I'm only joking." I giggled and crawled onto the bed. "Can I have the side that's against the wall?" I asked, glancing back at him.

"You can have anything you want." He joked.

"That why you came in here with only sweat pants on...no shirt?" I arched an eyebrow, smiling softly as I pulled the covers back some and sat down on the side that was pushed against the wall.

"Maybe..." he blushed, making me laugh.

"Come sit down with me." I said as I patted the spot next to me.

He crawled over to me and sat down. "So..." he said awkwardly, resulting in us laughing.

"Do you know what time it is?" I asked.

He checked his phone. "It's almost 12a.m."

"Well, whatcha wanna do? I don't think I can sleep right now." I mumbled.

He switched the lights off. "Let's lay down and we can talk."

We got under the covers and laid on our sides, facing each other. "This is pretty nice." I smiled.

"What is?" He smiled back.

"Laying here with you. I loved hanging out with everyone, but I feel more comfortable here. This bed helps, too though." I giggled.

He laughed with me and kissed my cheek gently. I smiled up at him. "Can I ask you something?" I asked quietly, "You know, like besides that."

"Of course, darling."

"Why'd you go through with that dare?"

He looked down and sighed. "Because I actually had an excuse to kiss you without everyone flipping out. I barely kissed you, though, because I didn't want to freak you out."

"Vic?"

"Yeah?"

"Can you kiss me for real, then?"

He looked up, surprised...
