I DONT OWN BIG MACHINE RECORDS.
That afternoon-Nashville
"Hey Handsome." Laura said with a small smile entering the room in the back of the bus where they had woken up earlier that day. Ross looked up from his seat and smiled while closing his laptop, the bed had turned back into the couch. "Well hi Pretty Girl." She came and sat next down him. "What you wanna do today?" She asked looking at him. "Well, we have the show tonight then we leave, so we could just hang out today." He said. "Ya that sounds-" Laura started. "But I believe I promised you a date." He cut her off and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. She smiled. "I would love that. What time do you wanna go?" She asked. "How bout one." He said looking at his watch. "Well I was thinking I live twenty minutes away so what if we went to my apartment and hung out a little bit?" She asked him with a sly smile. "Ya I'll go get ready." He said they both got up to get ready. Ross was dressed first, in yet another pair of dark blue ripped up jeans and a red t-shirt with his converse. "Laur, babe, you almost ready?" He questioned as he knocked on the bathroom door. "Ya I'm finishing my hair, sorry, I'll be out in a few minutes." She replied through the door. He went to sit on the couch and opened Twitter.
Rossr5 Nashville! What's up!? It's gonna be a good day.
Just as he sent the tweet into the Twitterverse his girlfriend came out of the bathroom in a yellow tank top with lace boarding the top and bottom, a pair of cut off jeans shorts with wholes in them and gold flip-flops and bracelets. Her sunglasses resting on the top of freshly curled head of brown hair. All Ross could do was stare; Laura smiled and gave him a light chuckled. She held her hand out for his hand to take. "You comin?" She questioned with an amused face. Ross got up from his spot and grabbed her hand intertwining their fingers. "You're wearing yellow." He said as he looked down at her. "You know your colors!" She said as if she was talking to a five year old. "Yellow is my favorite color." He told her. "Yes baby I know." She said as they started walking to the front of the bus just as Stormie and Mark walked by. "Oh I have to give my mom something why don't you wait outside it will take like two minutes." Ross said, Laura nodded her head and went outside. Ross went to see his mom standing in the mini kitchen. "Ross I need that list if you want me to get the stuff for your date." She said without looking up from her phone, as he took a piece of paper out of his front pocket and handed it to her. "Thanks mom, I would do it I just-" he said thanking her. "It's just you want some time completely alone with your girlfriend away from your siblings." Stormie cut off her son. "Ya and after yesterday I wanna see where her heads at. I just think she deserves a day just the two of us." He explained to his mom. "You both do. Go have fun. I'll take care of everything." She said with a smile looking at her son. Ross gave her a kiss on the cheek. "You're the best mom I love you." He said as he grabbed his ray bands off the counter and walked out.
As Ross was talking to Stormie Laura was outside waiting. "Hey Laur." Riker said greeting the waiting girl leaning against the bus. "Hey Riker. What's up?" She asked as the older Lynch came and stood next to her. "Not much. Hey, um as you know moments alone are rare when around the Lynches something or someone is always going on or doing something. So while I saw you I just wanted to say thank you." Riker told the brunette. "For what Riker? I haven't done anything." She asked confused. "You made Ross happier then I have ever seen him. And during Austin and Ally you were a friend. Not just to Ross but to all of us. That's doing a lot Laura." Riker told his friend and his brother's girl. She automatically just hugged him and he hugged back. "For the record you brother makes me happier than I have ever been too." She told him. They let out of the hug and smiled at each other. Ross then walked out. "You ready?" Ross asked stepping off the bus. Laura nodded her head and took his hand that was extended to her. "Where you two off to?" Riker questioned the couple, before Ross could say anything Laura replied. "We're gonna go have one of the rare moments for a little." She said with a wave as they walked away.
Laura's apartment
Laura went to fix her eyeliner in her room. Ross was walking around the small living room laughing at the fact Laura had Ally's song book on the coffee table. Pictures were spread all over the small apartment. He walked to a table up against the wall below a window that you could see the park across the street and some of the city from. He looked at the pictures on the table some of the cast, her family, R5, and some of her high school friends. There were two 8x10 frames that were the biggest that caught his both black frames the first was divided in half down the middle, the picture on the left was the cast after they shot the first episode of Austin and Ally, the one on the right was after they just finished shooting the last episode. The smiles wide and he smiled at the fact that he and his girlfriend really never did have personal space. The second was also a picture from A&A but it was just the two of them they were in the practice room set Ross was holding one of Laura's hands, his acoustic guitar was on his back and they were looking at each other. He could tell they weren't in a scene but he had never seen the picture. He continued to walk around, he went into the adjoining kitchen where on the fridge there were more pictures and a small dry erase board with two things written on it.
To Do:
Make a Kick Ass Album
He thought back to how protective she was of the album a few days ago. Suddenly there were arms wrapped around his waist and a head resting on his back. "Hey." She said gently, a small smile graced his face as he put his hands over hers. "Hey, you have a lot of pictures you know." He told her. "Ya, well I never feel at home unless I'm surrounded by the people I love." She said sighing he took her hand and led her to the tan couch she stayed standing and dropped the bag that she had just packed of a few more outfits for options off her shoulder, the bag fell to the ground. Their other hands still connected, Laura sighed looking at Ross sitting on the couch. "Come here." He said matching gentleness of her voice, lightly pulling her to sit on the couch with him. She gave him a slight surprise when she sat in his lap straddling him. "What's up, huh?" He questioned quietly, knowing something was going on in her head. She sighed again placing her hands on his shoulders. His hands moving to her waist. "Do you think we rushed into this?" She questioned running her hands down his chest. He wasn't surprised by the question he was actually expecting it. "Do you think we rushed into it? "He questioned her. " I don't know Ross, being here makes me think about how soon I have to get back to work, and you going out of the country, it just makes me think of how much I'm-" she was cut off. "No, stop, we're not thinking about that today." He commanded gently moving his hands from
Her waist to her cheeks and kissed her, which very quickly turned into a make out session when air became one hundred percent necessary Ross pulled back. "Ok, so I have a question." Ross said as Laura leaned her forehead against his. "Yes? "She questioned with a smile. "So why'd you choose that picture to make the biggest?" He said pointing to the table with the pictures. She looked at the picture then looked back at him. "Not that it's a bad picture, there are just so many better ones." He says. "I didn't. Rani took the picture and framed it for me. Do you remember that episode?" She questioned his hands had moved their way back to her waist. He nodded she looked back at the picture. "Well the kiss scene was the next scene to be shot, and you must have seen how nervous I was because you took my hand and just looked at me and smiled knowing it was what I needed. I was so nervous and worried, and you, the whole time, made sure I was ok, comfortable, and even with how awkward it was you made sure I was ok, and I felt so so safe. That's why I like that picture." She explained. He watched her memorizing every detail of her in this moment. "And now look at were we are. "He whispered she looked back at him. "Making out on your couch." He whispered moving forward so he was barely an inch from her face with a smile. She chuckled and connected their lips and they continued to make out.
Venue
After a very successful and uninterrupted make up session they made their way back to the venue holding hands and were walking in the parking lot when suddenly Laura stopped. "Wait." She said Ross looked back at her. "I thought we were going on our date?" She asked. "We are." He said. "Then what are doing at the venue?" She asked curious Ross chuckled. "You trust me right?" He asked amused she nodded. "Then come on." He said pulling her to him while walking they ran into Rydell who took Laura's bag of clothes and Ally's book back to the bus. Ross and Laura made it to the top of the hill behind the venue. There was a huge blanket with lemonade, Gogurt, chocolate covered strawberries, and Carlo's pizza, Laura's favorite pizza in Nashville. She looked at him amazed. "It's a beautiful day, and a picnic in the park sounded nice but you and I only get so much alone time." He said looking at her she hugged him. "It's perfect. But how-?" She asked looking up at him. "It isn't always bad touring with your entire family." He cut her off looking down her. They let out of the hug and Laura took her phone out to take a picture right after she took one. Ross' hand was taking her phone from her hands. "No phones, for either of us." He informed her she gave him a knowing smile. They sat down and ate together. "You know what I was thinking about the other day?" Ross asked looking at Laura as she happily ate some Gogurt. "No, but I have a feeling you are gonna tell me." She said. "About the time when you showed up to our concert in that red dress." He said she scoffed. "Please you just liked that dress cause it showed off my ass." She said. "Nooo, I liked the dress because you made it look good. And as for the ass thing that was just a plus." He said emphasizing the word you. They laughed. Later after the food had been eaten they were laying on the blanket with Laura's head on his chest and her arm around his stomach. His arm wrapped around her waist. They had been just laying there for a while enjoying the silence and each other. "I don't, by the way." He said she looked up at him. "I don't think we rushed into this. We waited so long to do this, you've been my best friend for four years, am I going to miss you when I'm gone. Like crazy. But knowing that when I get home there is you. That's what gonna keep me going. I may be leaving the country but my heart will be with you. I'm with you. No amount of distance is gonna change that." He said looking at her. "We'll be alright." She said looking at him. "We'll be alright." He repeated the shared a quick kiss. They layed there for a while then an hour before sound check the couple had their phones and were taking selfies. Ross was about to post one of them with their sunglasses on, they were kissing, and the sun was shining in the corner but before he could post it. "Stop maybe we shouldn't post these." He looked at her a little confused. "I mean, everyone is still reeling from our announcement, maybe we keep this day to ourselves, at least for now." She said. He thought for a second before he realized just how much he liked that idea. He nodded they picked up the blanket and put it in the bus. Then Ross went to get ready for the show that night.
After the pre show ritual the band ran out once again Ross being the last one in line stopped in front of his girl and wrapped his arms around her waist her arms wrapping around his neck. "I had a great day today." He said the crowd's confusion was heard as the band on stage shared knowing looks. "So did I babe, but you have fans, waiting for you can't we talk about this later?" She questioned. "They've waited all day let them wait five more minutes." He said as he leaned in capturing her lips. The band started talking to the crowd. Laura pulled back. "I'll be right here." She said. "The entire show?" He asked not wanting any type of the events to happen again. She nodded, he kissed her again and once again she was the one to pull back. "Go!" She said in an amused voice. "I'll be here the whole time. Promise." She said pushing him. "I'll be seeing you." He said with a smirk while putting his second in-ear in before turning around and running on stage to his mic. "Sorry guys in-ear problems." She laughed at the lie.
Halfway through the show someone came to stand next to Laura she looked at the man smiled then looked back at the stage. She did a double take. There standing next to her was the owner of her record label. Scott Borchetta. "Scott! What are you doing here!?" She said surprised. "Just checking on my newest artist." He said they hugged. "I'm good." She said. Looking back at the stage. "So remind me which one is your guy?" He questioned. "The lead singer." She said pointing to Ross. During the rest of the concert Scott told Laura that due to scheduling conflicts she gets an extra week off which, when she texted Vanessa, her sister demanded that she stay with her for a week in LA. Which Laura immediately replied yes to.
The band ran off stage going through the assembly line. But once again the girlfriend of the lead singer was not at her usual spot as he was running the towel over his head he was about to ask his mom if she had seen her when he saw the girl in yellow with her back to him. He ran up to her, picked her up and spun her around. She screamed. "Ross! Put me down you're all hot and sweaty!" She told him Ross could hear the smile in her voice. He did as he was told, turning her around so she could see him. Huge smiles on both faces. "You were on fire tonight!" She told him with excitement and a huge amount of proudness in her voice. He took a step forward smiling and kissed her. She kissed back. Laura heard a chuckle and pulled back and looked at Scott with an amused face on. "Um Ross, this is Scott Borchetta, Scott this is my boyfriend Ross." Laura introduced Ross looked at the man standing in front of the couple. The tips of Ross' ears becoming red when realized that his girlfriend's boss just watched him basically shove his tongue down her throat. He cleared his throat. Sticking out his hand for the older man to shake, which he did. "Scott, it's nice to meet you." Ross said embarrassed Scott laughed. "You too Ross, great show." Scott told him. "Thank you." He said the three talked until the buses were ready to go. Once the announcement was made Scott bid the couple goodbye. As they were walking back to the buses their arms wrapped around each other's waist. "Why didn't you tell me was coming?!" He asked his girlfriend. "I didn't know!" She defended herself. "He basically saw me shove my tongue down your throat!" He said in what sounded to be a mortified voice. "You really were on fire tonight." She told him trying to make him feel better by changing the subject. "It was the company I had today." He told her. She blushed. "No it wasn't, you were one hundred percent yourself up there. I'm so proud of you." She said looking at him pride shining in her eyes. "Thanks Baby." He said looking down at her the shared a quick kiss before stepping on to the bus. Then they were off to the next stop.
