“I’m pretty sure I showed you last night and this morning I have what you need.”

“Adam,” she scolds me but there is a twinkle in her eye. “I’m going to cook you dinner and I needed ingredients.”

“You’re going to cook for me?” I reach over the table and take her hand. “Really?”

“Don’t look so surprised, I can cook.”

“Will you wear one of those little aprons?”

“No, why?”

“Cos I want to watch you cook for me wearing nothing but an apron.”

“Oh god, what have I released letting you in my pants.”

I laugh at her comment, she’s so cute. “I’m looking forward to it, love.”

After lunch and coffee, I walk Jenna back over to the main building to meet up with the others. I call the car service to pick her up. Arch kisses Jenna on the cheek in greeting again. And again I glare at him. She notices this time and laughs at me. I introduce her to Dex, the newest member of the band for the duration of the tour.

She leans towards me. “I need to use the ladies room before I go, too much coffee.”

“Sure, it’s just down that hallway, second door on the left.”

She goes up on her toes and kisses me. I watch her walking away.

“Bianca wants to string you up by your balls,” Nick laughs shaking his head.

“Yeah, thanks for going along with it. I know I was a dick. I apologised to Erica.”

“So she’s still coming on the tour?”

“Of course,” I frown. “I’m not gonna lose her the job. I just didn’t want to be on the same bus.” I move out of the way as two women go past us to get to the ladies room. Arch is checking out their asses as they go by. “That’s Bianca’s niece,” I warn him. “She’ll string you up by your balls too if she catches you looking.”

“Hey, it was a nice ass.”

“I didn’t notice.”

“Speaking of nice asses, you and Jenna seem to be getting cosy.”

I point my finger in his face. “Watch your mouth, and what is with all this fucking kissing her whenever you see her shit?” Dex and Nick are laughing next to me. “What?”

“She’s hot,” Dex says matter of fact. “Who wouldn’t want to kiss her?”

“No one is kissing her, especially not one of you fuckers,” I snarl.

“I don’t know Ad, she seems to like it when I lay one on her.”

“Cut that shit or I’ll break your fucking arm.”

They’re all still laughing when Jenna comes back from the bathroom. I smile over at her despite wanting to rip someone’s head off. She looks pale. “Hey, you okay?” I ask her.

“Yeah, I’m fine. Sorry, I’m tired after…” she glances at the others, they’re pretending not to listen. I take her arm and lead her away from them, giving them the middle finger behind us. “We didn’t get much sleep,” she says.

“Nope, we didn’t. You better nap this afternoon cos I plan on keeping you up tonight too.” She smiles but she isn’t looking at me. “Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Sorry, yeah, I’m fine. I hope the visit to the hospital goes okay.”

I nod and pull her into me. “Text me when you get home.” She nods. “I’m looking forward to dinner. I shouldn’t be any later than five.” I lower my head to kiss her. “Listen to us sounding all domesticated,” I laugh.
