“So, I‘m going on tour.” he finally spoke up.
I felt my heart sink into my stomach, we had such a good thing going and now it was all going to go away. I slipped my hand out of his and rested it in my lap. “Oh yeah?” I said, trying to perk up, “That‘s awesome, when are you leaving?”
“One month, it should last a little more than two months.”
I forced a smile, “Are you guys headlining it?”
“Yeah, it sounds like its going to be an awesome tour, we‘ll be all over the country.”
“I‘m happy for you and the guys, you definitely belong on the stage.”
I sat there and listened to him explain the details of the tour, but I couldn’t help but wonder what would happen to us, if there even was an us, I didn’t even know what we were.
“What‘s going to happen to us?” I whispered. “I mean, is there even an us?”
His hand grabbed mine, “That depends, do you want there to be an us?”
I felt myself smile, “Are you asking…”
“You to be my girlfriend? Oh definitely.” he winked
I leaned in and gave him a soft kiss, “Yes, I‘d love to.”
