I'm about to get a job with a musical genius who is hot as balls…. God damn Chris you're going hard…" She smiled at herself standing up and looking into the mirror once more, opening the sliding door and walking back, finding her way to the bunk she had sat at moments earlier. Nadir lay in a top bunk reading something, waving once she made her way back out, Erik sat in the front of her still, chuckling to himself once he saw her./p

He looked at her through his eyes brows, his eyes now noticing the sweetness of her face. The only thing he would muster in his mind was 'She's hot..'/p

He was gone in a couple of strides, now standing over the front seat, talking to Darius, the small of his back on display, a bright flush covering her face to the realization he heard her. Her eyes widening as she pulled the muscle t over her face./p
