Guess who's back! It is I! I apologize for putting this story on such a long wait but I have been swamped lately with going back to school, working full time, playing sports 3 nights a week, and coaching 2-3 nights a week. I'm honestly drained just thinking about how much I have put on my plate this year but I'm still surviving. I also just got back from Las Vegas so I had a nice week of enjoying life to the fullest.

Thank you to those still reading my story and anticipating the next chapter after months of nothing. It makes me happy that this story is making some of your days. Anyways, please enjoy this next chapter!

"Oh Gwen... You feel so good when you get on top of me and ride me hard..." he grabs my hips and starts thrusting against my pelvis. I moan in delight and run my fingers through his hair before grabbing some strands and pulling a little.

"Duncan... Oh god... I love when you take control..." he growls and whispers in my ear.

"You're mine and no one else's, right?" I nod my head in response and he smirks, "good girl..."

"AH! Duncan!" I scream with pleasure as he kisses my neck up and down, "I'm so close! I'm going to-"

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!

"AH!" I wake up screaming to my alarm, that was screaming at me to wake up. I look around my bed and give out a huge sigh.

It was just a dream, Gwen.

I close my eyes and think about how amazing the dream felt, even though it was just a dream if sure felt real to me.

It has been a week since saying yes to Trent's band tour, a week since telling Bridgette and Leshawna that I was going to travel with Trent and his band, a week since the last time Duncan and I had hard core sex in the back of my car. Every day seemed to have passed by, like time decided to speed up without permission. Not only had a week gone by, but it had gone by in the blink of an eye and I was starting to regret saying yes to this band tour. Not because I didn't want to be with Trent. No, that wasn't the case at all. The reason why I didn't want to leave was because I wasn't going to be making money for at least a weekend as well as not seeing Duncan for that long either.

No Gwen. Stop. He has a girlfriend who he probably loves with all his heart. Besides, you're going on tour with TRENT! Obviously he wants to spend time with you because he likes you! He's pretty cute... he has nice green eyes... nice hair... he can play the guitar and sing. That's literally the definition of what kind of man I want in my life!

I shake my head and gather myself before getting out of bed and getting ready for the day. I hate the mornings more than anything, but I needed to get up early since Trent was coming to pick me up at around 9 am with the band. I get dressed in my nicest but comfiest outfit I could find while packing my suitcase up for the weekend. After packing, I bring my suitcase downstairs by the door and start making a mocha as well as two pieces of toast.

Ding!

I hear a text and immediately feel hot in the face. It was Duncan.

"Hey. I hear you're leaving me for a weekend? Why the fuck would you do this to me?"

I smile and bite my lip a bit before replying, "I'm sorry but I finally decided to say yes to things I usually wouldn't say yes to".

I wait for his reply while sipping on my mocha and taking a few bites of my toast. I decide to re-read the group chat that myself, Bridgette and Leshawna were in while waiting.

Gwen: So... I have tea

Leshawna: OMG girl SPILL! I love tea

Bridgette: me too! I wanna know too!

Gwen: well... I'm going to be out of town this weekend

Leshawna: go on...

Gwen: …. with Trent

Bridgette: WHAT?! No fucking way!

Leshawna: TRENT FINALLY ASKED YOU OUT?! WHAT?! HAHAHAHA GOOD FOR HIM!

Gwen: WELL IT'S TRENT AND HIS BAND! NOT JUST HIM!

Leshawna: yeah yeah, but we all KNOW that it's really a date with some extra people tagging along.

Gwen: whatever! I'll let you guys know how it goes

Leshawna: obviously!

Finally, I hear a ding go off and see that Duncan replied.

"Oh is THAT what you're doing? No wonder you said yes to me last week". I roll my eyes but feel my face get even hotter. I text back.

"Yes, that's exactly what happened last week".

Ding!

"Hey! I'm just outside your place!"

I did a double take and saw that Trent texted me instead of Duncan. I smiled and texted back.

"Okay! Be right out!"

I grabbed my suitcase and hurried out the door to see Trent and his tour bus waiting on the side of the street. I waved at him and he waved back with a smile while rolling down the window.

"Hey Gwen! I'm so happy you're coming with us!"

Time: 12 pm

The bus ride was long but it didn't feel long to me. We had been in driving for about 3 hours now and I had met all of Trent's band mates as well as introduced myself to them.

There was Brick who was the drummer. He used to be in the military and told me stories about why he wanted to go into the military and how, after an incident, was excused from military work and needed a hobby to get into. Shawn was the bass player who was kind of obsessed with zombies and the apocalypse. He told me his plan if there ever was a zombie apocalypse and reassured me that I would be in his group to protect, which I thought was sweet of him. Next there was Topher who was kind of full of himself, no wonder he is the lead guitarist who does all the "cool licks to get the girls to gush over him" as he says. Finally, there was Mike. He shared lead vocals with Trent as well as rhythm guitar when Trent would sing lead. He was probably the most normal one there other than Trent.

During the bus ride, Trent and I sat together and just chatted the whole time about anything and everything. Work, school, our future jobs, favourite movies, shows, artists, you name it. I was genuinely having fun just getting to know Trent at a deeper level.

"Then this one time, Eva decided to pull a prank on Heather. Can you believe it? EVA pulling a PRANK? So, she hid in one of the booths upstairs and while Heather was doing fire extinguisher checks, Eva scared the living shit out of her and I almost peed myself from laughing so hard!" Trent laughed recalling the memory. I laughed with him.

"There is NO way that Eva decided to be fun!"

"She literally did! I couldn't believe it!" Tears started rolling down Trent's cheeks as he continued to laugh. He started to wipe them away when he saw that the bus started to slow down. "Oh hey! I guess this is our first pit stop. You hungry?"

I nod and feel my stomach growl. Trent chuckles a bit as the bus comes to a stop and the doors open, revealing a fast-food chain that I knew all too well.

"McDonalds? Really?" I lift an eyebrow at the band and they all shrug.

"It was the closest thing to food for a few more miles and we're all starving!" Shawn explained while passing me to get off the bus. "Besides, you can't be picky when it comes to a zombie apocalypse! You must eat or else you won't have enough energy when the zombies attack!" Brick rolls his eyes while passing me at Shawn's comment but gives me a genuine smile before leaving the bus.

"Disgusting! You guys know McDonalds gives me acne from all the grease" Topher says while sticking his tongue out. "you know what they say, 'you are what you eat' and I am NOT a disgusting, greasy, piece of meat"

"It's either you eat McDonalds or wait until our 2-hour bus ride is over and we go to an actual food place" Mike says while bumping Topher with his shoulder as he gets off the bus. I hear Topher's stomach growl in protest of waiting for food in 2 hours. He sighs in defeat and leaves the bus, shoulders slumped.

Trent smiles while looking at me and gestures me to go first, "ladies first". I smile back.

"Why thank you, kind sir".

Time: 2:15 pm

McDonalds wrappers were thrown around the bus along with empty cups and used napkins while myself and the band sat around a small table and were playing a card game called "Sweep".

"50 points" Brick said, upset and a bit annoyed.

"and I got 15 so that means... Mike wins!" I announce while tallying up the scores. Mike cheers in celebration and throws his cards up in the air.

"HA! YES! In your FACES!" he exclaims while pointing at no one in particular. We all groan in annoyance as he soaks in his victory. We then feel the bus slow down to a stop and everyone jumps up to look outside.

"Ah we finally made it" Topher says while fixing his hair through the reflection in the window. "Time to impress all the women who will swoon over me tonight at our concert".

"That's what YOU think! I'll be getting all the ladies" Brick says flexing his muscles with a smile.

"In your DREAMS!" Topher rolls his eyes and grabs his bag, "alright, let's get going!" One by one, we all follow him out of the bus and grab the band equipment that was stored in the bottom of the bus.

"You know you don't have to help us, right?" Trent smiles while watching me carry two speakers.

"I know but I enjoy helping. I don't want to look like I'm useless on this trip you know" I smile back and continue to trudge towards the facility where they will be playing.

Besides, I need something to do to keep my mind busy or else I will be thinking about Duncan this whole trip...
