and sugar, we're going down swinging. // khole!

Peaches had just finished Adele's hair and make-up and decided that instead of sticking around the hot venue with four hundred other people, she would just hide herself away in the tour bus. No one was here to see her, and to be quite honest, she doubted anyone would notice she was gone.

She crossed her legs the other way, tapping her foot against the floor as she read over the magazine in her hand. A perfectly manicured hand reached up, fixing her lipstick absentmindedly before she turned the page.

Khole wondered slowly to the bus, he had just eaten nachos and the sun was not helping his belly. He groaned as he trucked up the short stairs of the bus. "Oh," A smile grew on his face as he saw Peaches. "Hey, beautiful. Where's the princess?" He asked, chuckling softly as he inched closer to her. He felt like a pretty lucky manager. Adele was gorgeous, and Peaches was beautiful. He flashed a charming smile her way as he took a seat across from her.

She looked up, smiling over at Khole. The man was handsome, there was no denying that. He was drop dead gorgeous. "She just went on stage. And she looked beautiful, if that's any help." She said with a chuckle, looking back down at the article she was reading. She finished the last couple lines, then sat the magazine aside, looking over the man who was over everything in the bus.

Khole chuckled softly, and stretched back in his seat. "I just wanted to make sure she actually did what she was suppose to. Everytime she's suppose to be out there signing autographs, she manages to slip off somewhere." His hand rubbed against his stomach, and he tilted his head back. "What's got you hiding in here?" A sly grin played across his face.

[peaches emilee harrison]

"I can't say I blame her. A bunch of people annoying me to sign their face would get on my nerves, too." She said with a shrug, then a faint smile. She looked over at him when he asked his question, her eyes scanning his face. "The heat. But now that you're in here, I'm starting to think it's cooler outside." She teased, getting up and walking over to the fridge to get a bottle of water.

[khole alexander vroomland]

"I am pretty hot, aren't I?" He laughed, watching her move toward the fridge. "At least there's only one of me." His hand swiped through his hair before reaching over the table to grab a deck of cards. "I mean damn, if you went out on stage with Adele. We'd be beating down twice as many guys, if not more." Khole started to set-up a game of solitaire, glancing at Peaches every once and awhile.

[peaches emilee harrison]

She laughed, shaking her head. "No. I prefer my air conditioned bus to a bunch of horny teenage boys. And besides, I have no talent. I would never be up on stage to begin with." She took a drink of her water, watching him play with his cards for a moment before she reached over, taking one out of the stack and tucking it into her shirt. "Now you'll never win."

[khole alexander vroomland]

"Your talent can be make-up and hair." He teased, putting a queen over a king. Khole huffed as she stole one of his cars. "Don't think I won't try to get it," He smirked, sticking his tongue out playfully. "I'll be able to finish my game and cross something off my bucket list." He chuckled, moving to the edge of his seat. He sat the cards down, waiting out to see if she would give it to him or if he'd get to have a little fun.

[peaches emilee harrison]

"'Feeling Peaches' is on your bucket list?" She asked with a chuckle. She glanced at the card before she tucked it away again. "Oh, and it's a five too! You could have really used that!" She said, smirking his way before she started back to the kitchen to get a glass of juice. She wasn't going to just fork over his card. If he wanted it, he could come get it.

[khole alexander vroomland]

Khole chuckled, shaking his head back and forth. "How come I'm always the one getting picked on?" He drawled, a smirk washing over his face as he watched Peaches walk away. He chewed his lip, waiting a minute or so before leaping from his seat and sneaking up behind her. "Boo," He whispered as his arms wrapped around her waist, picking her up from the ground.

[peaches emilee harrison]

"Because you're fun to tease." She retorted with a smile. She squeaked as he picked her up, leaning her head back against him. "I'm not a rag doll." She said with a laugh, holding her chest so he couldn't get to the card there. "Now put me down, mister!"

[khole alexander vroomland]

"What would be the fun in that?" He laughed, and turned to face her the other way before putting her down. Khole leaned against the fridge, giving her a big grin. His arms crossed over his chest, and he waited for Peaches to make a move. He was already liking this game better.

[peaches emilee harrison]

"Much more fun than being hoisted around." She said with a laugh. She kept her hand over the card, smirking over at him. She didn't doubt he would go after it. When he went after it would be the question. She smiled a charming smile, raising an eyebrow at him. "I don't have what you're looking for." She chuckled, turning back to her drink.

[khole alexander vroomland]

A sly grin crossed his face as she turned her back. He made it to her in about two long steps. His lips moved closer to her. "I'm pretty sure you do," He whispered. His hand slipped over her shoulder, his fingers inched their way down to the card. "Oh, look. I found it," Khole chuckled as he felt the card between two fingers. He retracted his hand, and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. "Thanks, beautiful."
