Minus the fact that we couldn’t drink at the bar, even if I wanted to. Meeting Kallie Cooper, my soon-to-be tour mate, was intimidating. She was a lot shorter than me, but the way she carried herself like she thought she was the greatest singer in the world threw me off. I had to tell myself to just try to get along with her or stay out of her way during tour, or else she would probably kick my ass without warning.
    I liked the other members so far. I could tell Louis and Adam were genuinely cool and easy going guys from the way we were talking as the equipment was being set up. They had all grown up on the coast of Maine, where there wasn’t much of a music scene.
    I treated myself to some sliders, taking in the crazy atmosphere being that it was New Year’s Eve, while another band took the stage. Luke sat down beside me and took one of the tiny burgers off the plate and ate it.
    “Sooo little sister…” Luke draped an arm around me. “You look especially nice tonight.”  I decided to go simple tonight and keep on my pair of loose fitting jeans with a plain black t-shirt and let my hair down in a side ponytail resting over my shoulder.
    “Even though I’m not dressed all crazy like I’ve been doing?” I asked.
    “Mhmm. I like this look on you. I’ve said it before, but if Cale ever screws up and breaks up with you, I’ll be next in line,” Luke said jokingly. “No, I take that back. You’re too much like my sister. Besides, I like Bethany. Why couldn’t she make it tonight again?”
    “Because they had some invite to a fancy party in Detroit and couldn’t turn it down,” I reminded him. Even though Gina and Bethany had gotten out of modeling for now to focus on getting more stable jobs, they still had connections with some pretty big people in the fashion world. “It was totally last minute or else they would’ve come down, I swear.” This guy had it bad for my friend, but Luke was a nice enough guy for Bethany; I was all for them getting together. It was just a matter of time.
    “Yeah, now some other guy will get to give Bethany her first kiss of the New Year and it won’t be me.” Luke contemplated what he said for a second and took off his thick rimmed glasses. “Damn, I really sound smitten, don’t I?”
    I laughed and hugged him from the side. “It’s okay. I have never seen you like this so I keep it going.”
    He squeezed me tight and kissed the side of my head. “This is why I love you, little sis. You’re way too nice to me.”
    “I could say the same thing about you. It’ll be fun tonight I promise.” I said, and we finished my plate up and headed back towards where we were hanging out on our bus until it was time to go on.
    “You didn’t bring anything back for your amazingly wonderful boyfriend?” Cale teased me as he picked me up over his shoulder as soon as I stepped onto the bus.
    “Put…I…down!” I squealed as he started tickling my rib cage from under my t-shirt. “I just ate so you better not do that.” I swatted at his back as he carried me towards the very back where the bedroom was. Setting me down gently just outside of it, he pulled me into a deep, passionate kiss.
    He pinned me against the wall and held my hands together above my head as he invaded my mouth. I wanted to melt right there. I hadn’t kissed anyone other than Ethan or Damon from Ignite the Flames, and there was absolutely no comparison. I was secretly glad he had a hold of my hands because I could feel that my knees were about to buckle under me at any minute.
    “Damn, we should totally get into this bedroom before we have to play,” Cale breathed into my ear. “I don’t even want to go out there now. Can’t we just say I got sick?”
    I shoved him playfully and straightened out my shirt before kissing him in the crook of his neck. “Wasn’t it your idea?” I reminded him.
    He scratched the top of his head and groaned. “Yeahhh, I suppose it was. But tonight this room is ours. I
