Chapter 38: What did he say?

After my night with Sabrina I wanted nothing more than to assure her that I would never leave her because she means too much to me. Within the few months we've known each other she became my world and if I was to lose her, my life would literally crumble. When we woke up this morning I couldn't help but notice how nervous and worried she was, she knew I was going to call Steven and ask about the job and I knew that even if the answer wouldn't be one that we'd both want, she would still insists on making me take the job. She was set on making me follow my dream no matter the consequences. 

Which is why I'm trying to come up with a way to change her mind as I drive towards the studio. I spent the whole day working on the pictures of my girlfriend and once I sent and edited all the shots from Sab's photoshoot I called Steven. Once I finished my call with him and he explained what my job would include my heart dropped and I realised that there was no way I could ever take it. I park my car in front of the studio and stare at the building for a while. Maybe I'll just ty and change the subject until I can't anymore, that should buy me some time. I sigh and climb out of the car, I wander inside and smile when I find my girlfriend animatedly talking to her tour manager. I lean against the door frame listening to her talk passionately about her set list for her upcoming singular tour and why she wants to perform a specific song twice. 

"Hey" Sarah quips when she notices me, "Hey Sarah" I smile moving to sit next to her on the couch as I decide to let Sabrina finish talking to her manager. "What's up?" I ask turning to face her, "You know the usual, helping my sister decide her tour outfits" she shrugs making me chuckle "Yeah how's that going? She being stubborn or open minded?" I question glancing at the table where a bunch of magazines are scattered along with different papers with outfits designed for my gorgeous girlfriend. "She's being both" she admits making me chuckle "She knows what she wants but she likes hearing different ideas" she explains as I nod in understanding, "That's good" I say looking back at the brunette. 

"Hey can I ask your opinion?" I ask suddenly realising something, "Yeah of course" she agrees, I open my mouth to tell her about my situation, but before a word can tumble out of my mouth I hear my girlfriend yelling my name. "Y/n!" I turn and find the blonde rushing over to me making me chuckle, she throws herself onto me wrapping her arms around my neck, snuggling her face in the crock of my neck and her legs straddle me on the couch. "Hey baby girl" I giggle holding her against me as my heart skips a beat, "When did you get here?" she asks moving to look at me, "Just a few minutes ago" I answer making her pout "Why didn't you see me?" she questions sticking her bottom lip out. "Because you were talking to your manager and I didn't want to be rude by interrupting" I answer before leaning forwards and kissing her lips, "Forgive me?" I ask looking at her hopefully.

"Hm" she hums taking a deep breath, "If I can get another kiss, yes" I grin and lift my hand to caress her cheek. I lean forwards, slowly brushing my lips against hers before pressing them firmly and kissing her softly. "You're forgiven" she murmurs against my lips before trying to deepen the kiss but I pull away, "Okay you're no longer forgiven" she backtracks glaring at me causing a soft laugh to tumble from my lips. "Baby this is not the time or the place to do that" she rolls her eyes and climb off of me, "So the dates for the tour are confirmed and the tickets will be going on sale in a few minutes" she admits with a proud smile as she starts packing her bag with all the things she brought. 

"Did you talk to Steven?" she asks before biting down on her lip waiting for my answer, "I did" I reply "So what did he say?" she question looking up from her bag, her blue eyes locking on mine as she starts to fidget with her fingers, attempting to calm her nerves. "I'll talk to you about it at home okay?" her face drops probably already knowing the answer, nevertheless she just nods and grabs her bag. "You ready to go?" she asks as I nod, "Bye Sarah" I say leaning down to hug my girlfriend's sister, "I'll text you" I whisper making sure my girlfriend didn't hear. "Okay" I hear her mutter before we pull away. 

"Bye sis! See ya tomorrow" Bri waves and blows her sister a kiss before she takes my hand leading me out of the building. We climb into the car and the whole drive to the house is silent, our hands are intertwine and I'm rubbing soothing circles onto her skin calming her down. I'm pretty sure her nerves are getting the best of her and I definitely don't want her to have some sort of panic attack. 

"So did your tour manager let you put Mona Lisa twice in the set list?" I ask curiously as we stumble inside of the house and head towards the kitchen, "Mhm" she hums nodding her head and taking a seat on the bar stool as she watches me open the fridge, "I took a lot of explaining to do but once he understood he decided to let me sing it twice" she explains with a soft smile. 

"That's good news" I say as I finally seeing something I can make for dinner, "How about we have some Quesadillas tonight?" I suggest gazing at the blonde for an answer "Sounds delicious" she grins making me smile. 

I pull out all the ingredients I need and Sabrina moves to go feed Dexter, it takes her only about 5 minutes before she's sitting back in her seat. "Y/n" she says softly making me look up from the chicken piece I was cutting, to her breath-taking crystal blue eyes, except they aren't sparkling like they usually do when she's happy, instead they are filled with worry. 

"What did Steven say?" she asks her voice barely above a whisper as she keeps her eyes locked on mine. I sigh and put down the knife I was using, "Why don't we talk after dinner?" I suggest hoping she'll agree with waiting and not be stubborn. "You can't be with me if you take the job can you?" she asks "That's why you're avoiding the question" I bite my lip and slowly nod. I don't really know what to say I didn't expect her to find it out so soon, I thought I had some kind of answer to what I was going to do but my stunning girlfriend is way to smart.

"Please tell me you're taking it?" she begs as her eyes fill with tears, "What?" I ask my eyes widening. I quickly clean my hand and rush towards my girlfriend, "Baby I'm not taking a job if I have to be away from you" I insist cupping her cheeks "Are you crazy?" I add staring down at her confused. 

"I don't want to be the reason you don't follow your dream" she mumbles as a few tears run down her cheek. "Bri" I sigh wiping her cheeks with my thumbs, "Baby you are my dream, it's going to take more than a job opportunity to take me away from you" I admit lowering one of my hands to take hers. "I gave you a promise ring for a reason sweetheart" I say lifting her hand so she can look at the ring that's resting on her 4th finger, "This means that we're forever, nothing will stop me from being with you, not one single obstacle" I assure her as I gaze down at her lovingly. "Okay?" she bites her bottom lip but nods nonetheless, I smile and lean forwards to kiss her forehead before pulling her in for a hug. "I love you baby girl" I whisper felling her tighten her grip on me.

"And it has a lot of sparkles!" Sabrina exclaims causing me to giggle as I look at my excited girlfriend who's showing me what they had planned for the tour so far. "I'm gonna be like a disco ball" she jokes making me laugh, "I'll end up blinding people" she adds gazing at me with her blue eyes sparkling with joy as I laugh. 

"You're gonna look gorgeous in all these outfits, get ready for some amazing pictures" she rolls her eyes "You know when you're on stage you have this sort of happiness that I can never recreat in photoshoots. Its like as soon as you step on that stage, you know you belong there and you get into this vibe which I love taking pitcure off" I explain "I always want to be the one to capture those moments, please let me" her face soften and she nods. 

"I wouldn't want anybody else taking my pictures" she confesses leaning up to kiss me, "But get ready for an exciting yet exhausting tour. Its gonna be a lot of fun but you're gonna experience a whole new side of jet lag, not to mention you're gonna have to deal with me" I chuckle and shrug "I'm pretty sure I can deal with you" she raises a brow looking slightly unconvinced. 

"All I gotta do is cuddle you-" I start pulling her even closer to me from our position on our bed, "Give you food, tell you how amazing you were during the show and give you loads of kisses" I finish leaning down to pepper her face with multiple kisses, "Okay" she laughs trying to pull me off of her. "Do exactly that everyday and I'll be happy" she says with a wide smile as I nod before leaning down to kiss her. Her lips move in sync against mine and right as I'm about to deepen it she pulls away "I love you Y/n" she whispers her crystal blue eyes completely locked on mine, "More than you'll ever know" she adds making my heart swell. 

"I love you too baby girl" I assure her colliding my lips bag against hers.

We spend the rest of the night cuddling and sharing a few kisses whilst I assure the blonde that I'll never leave her side no matter what.
