When Tina heard her alarm go off at 5:30 she rolled over hit it to shut it off then got up. Not really wanting to move she reluctantly got out of bed and drug her self into the bathroom. She started the shower and stepped in letting the water hit her to wake her up. After her shower she dried off and got dress in a pair of tight blue jeans that hugged her hips and tee shirt that covered her toned stomach unless she raised her arms above her head. She then brushed her teeth, and applied make-up to her face. She curled her long hair then pulled it back in a pony tail. Tina walked around the house to make sure that she had everything that she needed for her new life on the road. She then walked out of the house and stepped onto the street. Only to be met by Sam and her boyfriend Luca.
"What are you two doing here?" Tina asked picking up her bag.
"We thought you met need a ride to the airport." Luca told her picking up her other bag and putting it in the trunk on the car. The ride to the airport was a short one, but they filled the time with trying to talk Tina out of leaving the hospital which tine found amusing.
"Thanks you guys" They got in the car and headed to the airport.
When they pulled up in front of the airport Tina was met by Eric who handed her a plane ticket. "I was sure you would be late or not show up at all." He said causing Tina to laugh. Then started to fill her in on where they were going and what was going to be going on there. Luca got her bags out of the trunk and sat them beside her Eric motioned for the baggage guy to take her bags and put them with the rest.
Tina thanked Luca and Sam with a hug and told them that she would write, and then joined the rest of the guys with Eric. They walked inside and went through all the security checks then boarded the plane. Once Tina sat she laid her head back and closed her eyes suddenly feeling tired from her restless night of sleep, she felt someone sit beside her, and she opened her eyes and saw Dave sitting there beside her.
"You're not afraid to fly are you?" He asked looking at her.
"No."
"Is this your first time?"
"No. I fly back home to Kentucky every couple of months just to visit my grandparents." Tina grabbed a book out of her purse and opened it flipping to where she had left off the last time that she had started to read.
"I wanted to apologize to you." Dave said after the plane was in the air.
"For what?" Tina asked not taking her eyes off the book she was reading.
"For staring at you last night, I shouldn't have kept on staring at you, but I just couldn't look away. There is something about your smile that grabs everyone's attention. I'm not the only one who thinks so, we all where talking about it after the show."
"Really." Tina smiled; it felt good to hear a complement like that.
"See, that smile right there, you could light up a dark room with that smile." Dave pointed out.
"Thank you." Tina closed her book. "I haven't heard a comment that nice in a very long time."
"Really. I thought that you would have guys giving you all kinds of comments."
"No, the last guy that gave me a comment that nice was my husband on our wedding night when he told me that the moon could not compare to my beauty." Tina smiled at the memory of that night and looked away from Dave.
"So you're married." Tina shook her head.
"We divorced last month." Tina saw Dave's expression change to a look of anger. "But it's okay because I'm better off without him."
"Do you mind if I ask why you divorced?"
"I got sick of him cheating on me and beating me." Tina explained not really wanting to spend a lot of time on that subject.
"That really gets me, when I hear about guys beating their wives or their kids because something happened that pissed them off." Dave put his hand on top of hers.
"What about you, have you ever been married?" Tina asked Dave.
"Yeah when I was younger, but that ended because I didn't pay enough attention to her and she found someone who would. I put all my time into getting here and I didn't see how much she was hurting then I really didn't see that she had gone and found someone that gave her the attention that I didn't."
"I'm sorry." Tina replied softly.
"I don't really think that I loved her as much as did when I first met her. We kind of grew apart you know what I mean." Tina nodded.
They sat there in silence for a few minutes then Tina asked. "Do you guys always travel together like this?"
"Ric, Hunter and I have our own jet so we can leave and go home after shows if we want to. But if we all are going to the same place then we go together."
"Oh yeah, you three do everything with style." Dave laughed at the comment.
"Yeah I guess you could say that."
"So since you do everything in style why are you sitting back here shouldn't you be up in first class with Hunter and Ric?"
"Will that one's easy, I didn't want you to be alone back here." Dave could have sworn that he saw he blush a little bit.
"Tina." Tina turned to see Eric come up beside her. "Since you joined last minute we didn't get you a room at the hotel. However one of the guys had said that they wouldn't mind sharing a room with you that is if you don't mind."
"Can I ask which one?" Tina wasn't sure if that was such a good idea, sharing a room with one of these guys, she has heard a lot about how some of them are when they were on the road.
"That would be me." Dave answered standing in front of her. Tina felt her heart almost skip a beat when she heard him answer he would be the only man that she wouldn't mind sharing a room with.
"That's fine." Tina replied with a smile as they headed toward the exit door.
Once in the hotel everyone was given what rooms they would be in and headed up to their own rooms. Dave met Tina in the lobby and they walked up to the room together as they past a couple of the guys Tina heard them say you lucky dog or of course he would get to room with her. Tina smiled to herself, it made her feel good about her self hearing all these comments after living with her husband who never told her she was pretty or anything like that unless he wanted something.
