The Warped Tour Doctor

I had just finished introducing myself to the bands in front of me, who were all staring at me very skeptically, likely because I was so young and handling all healthcare during the tour. I’m only 27 years old while most doctors with my qualifications are at least 30 years old, I guess graduating high school early is not working to my advantage right now. I continued my presentation, “I know I’m young guys, but I assure you I am a trained doctor and I’m very good at what I do”, I laughed a little trying to lighten the mood.

A heavily tattooed guy with shaggy brown hair called out suggestively in a thick British accent, “Oi, Doc! I need checkup!” He gave me an exaggerated wink with a cocky smile, and high fived a couple of guys who I assumed were his band mates while a few guys in the crowd whistled. I had expected something like this to happen, and I wanted these guys to like me, or at least respect me.

In a fake British accent I said, “looks like we have ourselves a real wanker, mates!” The room busted out laughing at my joke, and I felt much more relaxed now that the guys saw I could handle their jokes. I turned around to take a drink from my water bottle, and when I turned back to face the crowd of tattooed men, I saw Austin standing next to a ginger staring at me with wide eyes. What the fuck is he doing here? Holy shit, was he serious when he said he was famous? I thought he was just drunk! Lily, focus! Finish the presentation first, deal with Austin later.

I quickly recomposed myself, “alright guys, so it’s the same usual safety procedures. Kevin Lyman hired me to make things run more smoothly and try to prevent any bad publicity due to injuries. Additionally, I’m here to take care of all you crazy guys!” The guys laughed at that, I could tell they were all a bunch of trouble makers. I continued, “additionally, I have my own bus that is specially set up to be a medic bus and I will be travelling with you guys on the road and throughout the tour, so if something comes up, come see me. And no, I can’t prescribe you medical marijuana, so stock up while we’re still in Cali!” I concluded with a smile. The guys clapped and cheered, and I knew this was going to be a great experience. I was actually excited to get to know the bands here! I was walking back towards my bus when I heard someone call after me.

“Lily, wait up!” Austin called. He jogged over to me and said with his usual smile, “so is this why you’ve been ignoring me all day?” I had seen his text earlier, and I hadn’t answered on purpose. Austin was supposed to be a one night stand I’d never see again, and nothing more. It’s not that I didn’t like him because I know I definitely did, not to mention the sex was fantastic, but I refused to get close to people. I wish I could, but I couldn’t let anyone near me. How could anyone still like me if they knew my secrets?

I shrugged slightly, “I’ve been busy.” His smile dropped slightly, as if he was picking up that I had been blowing him off earlier, and I was doing the same now. I wanted to let him into my life even more now, but I knew it was better to cut it off now rather than destroy him later.

He looked down at his feet for a moment, then said, “Bring Me the Horizon is having a kick off party tonight, do you want to go?”

I had no idea who Bring Me the Horizon was, but if there was a party, I’d find it. I didn’t want to go with Austin though, so I simply shrugged and said, “maybe I’ll see you there.” He looked even more disappointed than before, and looked like he was going to say something, but with ginger I had seen with before and guys who I assumed were the rest of his band were calling his name while jumping around and waving their arms wildly. I laughed at their weird behavior, and said, “your fan club over there is calling you, I’m going to get going. See ya, Austin.” He still looked like he wanted to say something, but I walked away before he even had the chance. He didn’t realize that by walking away I was doing him a huge favor.

I finally reached my bus, and saw the British boy who called out earlier during my presentation leaning against my bus with a mostly full bottle of Fireball. I gave him a smirk and teasingly said,”you know, I usually only accept full bottles of alcohol as an apology.”

He smirked at me, “I got thirsty. Nice to see our doc has a funny bone.” Why hadn’t I noticed how attractive he was earlier? If tattoos are my weakness and all it takes for me to get in bed with a guy, I’m going to get in some serious trouble at a tour filled with mostly tattoo covered men.

I punched in the code to enter the bus and turned to him, “is there something you wanted?” I asked.

“I want you”, he paused to look me up and down, then gave me a suggestive smile, “to come to my party tonight.”

I paused mid step onto the bus, innocently said “oh, just that?”, knowingly fully well he meant more than just attend his party. I motioned for him to follow me onto my bus.

Catching onto my game, he followed me inside and said, “of course, love. Nothing that would ruin the sterling reputation of our new doc.” I sat down in the front lounge of the bus, and reached over to get the bottle from the British boy sitting on the opposite end of couch from me. I took a chug from the bottle, at least a few shots worth. He looked at me and said, “Oli.”

I frowned and said, “what?” I wasn’t paying attention to him at all, the alcohol now had all of my focus. After my exchange with Austin, I really needed a drink. Why was I still thinking about Austin with a guy like this in front of me? I stretched out my legs across the couch, nearly touching him, to give him a good view of me.

He laughed a little, and said, “that’s my name. You should know it if we’re going to be drinking together. I’ve got to go and let the rest of the bands know what’s up, but I’ll see you later, little doctor.” With that, he ran his hand up to my thigh slightly below the hemline of my dress and leaned in towards me, hovering over my body. I arched my back up to meet his lips, and kissed him. I could taste the cinnamon whiskey on his lips, and knotted my fingers into his hair to deepen the kiss. To my surprise and disappointment, he pulled back and said, “think of this as a preview.” He got up and gave me a sexy smile, before leaving the bus. I couldn’t wait for this party tonight!

Notes

So what's Lily's secret? Why is Lily not letting Austin get close to her? And what's going to happen with Oli at the party???
