WE LOVE YOU CASSIE!!!

"Alright Chicago, whose ready for a new beat?" 

WWWWHHHHHOOOOOOOOWWW

"Now I hope you don't mind but I'm going to play a new song for you. This one is dedicated to my favorite man..." She pauses listening to the crowd cheer loudly. "Love you Keith."

Cassie giggles into her mic looking around the large stadium at the roaring crowd. She glances to her side and nods as the new tune begins playing. Her eyes closing momentarily as she begins singing with her whole heart and soul. Her own high being fed from the incredible enthusiasm of the fans. A few of her dancers coming up beside her. 

It ain't my fault you keep turnin' me on
It ain't my fault you got, got me so gone
It ain't my fault I'm not leavin' alone
It ain't my fault you keep turnin' me on

She begins shaking her hips as the hip hop song takes her away. The crowd whistling and cheering to the new hit. She continues dancing and moving about in her thigh-high high heels. Security had a kept a tight lock near the front not allowing anyone to close to the stage. Her eyes finding the camera amongst the crowd giving it a meaning full look for a moment. 

 It ain't my fault you came here lookin' like that
You just made me trip, fall, and land on your lap
Certain bad boy smooth
Body hotter than the sun
I don't mean to be rude, but I'd look so damn good on ya

She continues belting the song out and dancing along. Coming to the end of the song she is panting looking around as the crowd increases in volumes with so much support. She smiles and laughs breathlessly. She waves to them making her way to the back of the stage for a quick change. 

Jackson was standing back their with a water bottle in hand for her before people swarmed her to help with the quick change. Less than two minutes later and she was making her way to the hatch below the stage before it began rising for her. This being her last segment of the concert. Jackson turning to the camera monitor showing the wide smiling Cassie as she waves to the crowd. The concert continuing without a hitch before coming to it's end. 

"Thank you Chicago! You've been amazing!"

The crowd gives her one more roaring applause as she waves coming off the stage. Her close friend walking up to her clapping along with the stage crew. She smiles and takes the water again before going towards the dressing room. Jackson right behind her along with one of the stage hands to help her with her costume. Jackson closes the door and takes a seat with his phone in hand as she goes behind the divider with the woman who helps her. Cassie giving her a small 'thank you' before the woman leaves the room. 

"How many more Jackson?"

"3 more to go Cassie"

She nods getting into the leggings and the sweatshirt before stepping out. She walks over to the mirror looking for the wipes before going to work removing the beautiful work the make up artist just hours ago. 

"Have they called?"

"She texted telling you to call when you were ready."

Cass nods smiling gently at the mirror. They have been doing the tour for some time now and she was just ready to be back home. They had two weeks left and she would officially be on her way to Texas. Her belongings have already been relocated due to the quick sell of her home in California. Tate even helped in making sure everything got to her and Keith's home. 

Jackson had done the same with his belongings however his aunt had did the packing and made the trip to meet Natalia again in Texas. Apparently the woman decided to stay for a few days. Jackson was happy the women got along so well and even more so that his aunt said she would be visiting often. She was his only remaining family and her support meant more than he would care to admit. 

"You ready to go Jackson?"

He nodded pocketing his phone and standing up. Cassie threw away the towels in the trash doing one final check in the mirror before walking to Jackson. His hand already outstretched with her cellphone. There was recently a leak of her photos from her phone which resulted in a lot of photos of Nat making it on the web. So many speculating if they were 'more' than friends. Since then Jackson has kept it under lock and key when it wasn't in her possession. 

She makes quick to unlock her screen before dialing her best friend's number. It rang only once before being answered. 

"YES! SCREW YOU KEITH!" Nat yells loudly before laughing evilly. 

"What?" Cassie says laughing herself glancing at Jackson to see him shaking his head clearly hearing her. 

"Keith and I had a bet... and I just won." She sings the last part before theirs shuffling sound and she knows they are once again fighting over the phone. "Let go you butthead!"

"How old are you two?" Cassie chuckles allowing Jackson and security to guide her outside. A few cameras flash as she continues ignoring them. 

"Screw you Keith! He just slammed the door... he's such a baby."

"Nat" Cassie says shaking her head at her friend. 

"He can get over it. That show was hot!" Nat says forgetting her previous irritation. 

"Thank you, two more weeks and I'll be home."

"Good." Nat says happily. "Both Keith and I have surprises for you guys but mines better."

Cassie just laughs stepping onto the tour bus. Jackson right behind her as she goes to slouch down in a chair. Jackson walking away to the front seat to talk with the driver. "Will this forever be a battle between you two?"

"Of course!" She says making it sound obvious. "Now call you're cry baby before he throws a tantrum."

"Love you Nat"

"Love you too Cass"

She clicks off the call before instantly dialing her man's number. He allows it to ring a few times before finally answering. He doesn't say anything making her shake her head, "Hey sexy..."

"Hey" he grumbles making her want to laugh but she bites her cheek from doing so. 

"Do you see the song I wrote for you?" She says trying to turn around his mood. 

"Yea.." She hears him sigh followed by a groan. "You looked sexy as fuck sweetheart."

She blushed and was glad he couldn't see it. "Two more weeks and I'm all yours."

"I'm cuffing your ass to our bed."

"Mmm... don't put images in my head." Her voice becoming very sultry. She receives loud breathing on the other end. 

"Princess," his voice warning her only making her grin wider. 

"I wish you were here now," she says slouching back in the chair heaving a heavy sigh. 

"Me too princess, me too."

They both remain quiet for a moment lost in their own thoughts before Jackson taps her shoulder. He signals they are taking off, "Hey sexy, Jackson says were rolling out. I'm going to let you go for now. I love you Keith."

"Love you too Cassie, call me in the morning."

She ends the call with a content smile on her lips as Jackson sits in the seat across from her. His own smile on his lips. She raises a brow already knowing what he is thinking. Her mind being in the same spot as his. They were ready for a break. 

"Did Talia tell you what the surprise was?" Cassie shakes her head negatively turning to look out the window as the city zoomed by. "She sounds ready for us to be back."

"Us or you?" She says cheekily making her manager smile with a blush creeping up his neck. 

"Both" he says looking out the window as well. 

Both falling silent for some time as the exhaustion begins to settle in for the evening. The tour has been incredible and each city has shown her much love. A bunch of reporters showing up to every venue hoping for another exclusive about the situation with Landon Bounds. Luckily that has began to settle. He was sentences to a prison sentence of 15 years without chance of parole. It seemed when her truth came to light other artists also came forward. Tate was heartbroken at the amount of artist underneath his label that had went through some form of abusive while signed with him. He never knew.  Cassie said it was history now and didn't want to worry about it anymore. 

Her parents never came forward and had refused to speak to reporters slightly shocking her. They never did make further contact and Cassie was fine with that. Once again, that chapter was closed and she only wanted her now family. 

"Hey Cassie..." She turns her head to him but his eyes are still fixed outside as he continues, "I want to ask Natalia to marry me."

Her eyes going wide not expecting that so soon. He finally turns to gage her reaction and finds her shocked. "Jackson, not that I don't support you guys but do you think you are moving to fast?"

He just shrugs pulling out a small box from his pocket and places on the table between them. Cassie's jaw practically falling to the table as she reaches for it. She opens it and internally melts looking at it. It was a square cut ring with a simple ban but it did look like something Natalia would wear. She looked back up to find his eyes set on the ring. 

"She's it for me Cassie... I wouldn't be making this move if I wasn't sure."

She bites her lip before squealing loudly and lunging over the table to hug him. He chuckles patting her back before she sits back down taking a good look at the ring. 

"I think she will love it Jackson, it looks like something she would chose."

With that he releases a breathtaking smile showing his pearly whites. Cassie can see the relief from her statement making her only grin widely. He was nervous about her reaction. She cleared her throat closing the box pushing back to him. He takes it putting back into his pocket. 

"You do realize you still have on more obstacle to get around right?" Jackson raises a brow in question at her. "Keith."

His face morphs into fear making Cassie laugh throwing her head back. She continues as she can tell he hadn't thought about that yet. He gulps looking nervous all over again but for a completely different reason. She gathers herself reaching for his hand. 

"What if he says no?" His voice not sounding like the confident man she met roughly a year ago. She sighs lowly realizing how scared he actually is. 

"Don't be scared. He's a big teddy bear once you get to talk with him."

Jackson scoffs loudly, "Easier for the girl he is crazy about... Not so much for the one dating his sister."

"Fine... Then how bout this, he will respect you more for seeking his permission rather than outright not talking with him."

He nods believing that as he slides back lounging in the seat. Cassie pulls her hands back looking back at the window now even more excited for the tour to wrap up. Thoughts of helping her best friend planning a wedding running rapid in her head as her eyes finally close.
