Hearts Alight

Millie

What? He wants me to stay? But I thought... I thought Devon didn't want me there... I'm so confused... I look at him and start to open my mouth to speak, but then I see the desperate look on his face. His face looks like a puppy that was being abandoned. I sigh, giving him a look of remorse and gently pat his head. Chris gives me a grateful smile and grabs my hand, leading me back to the trailer. When we get there, Kaden is glaring angrily towards Devon's room. When he sees my face, he walks over and gives a small pat on my shoulder. The anger had melted off of his face with each step he took. He smiles at me and leads me over to the back of the trailer where Chris and Shadow's bedroom was.

"Here. You can sleep with Chris and Shadow tonight. I would let you sleep with me and Devon, but he seems a bit too... Strong right now. I really am sorry about him. He really does love your music, but he never really grew up with parents who knew how to show their emotions. Whenever he's mean, that means he's happy. Whenever he's... gone, that means you don't talk to him. Like right now. He's probably yelling at himself for upsetting you right now as we speak. Don't worry about what he says. He's like that with all of us." Kaden Kalandra. One of the nicest guys in the music industry. Not a single person has a bad thing to say about him. He's... Too perfect. It's kind of scary, if I'm being honest. He flashes me a smile and leaves the room.

When I look around, I see one big bed off to the side of the room and a desk in the other corner. In the closet is a mixture of black, pastels, and brown shirts. The rest is in drawers and it's all jeans. Either black or blue and white. I have a feeling all the black belongs to Shadow. I wouldn't be surprised if all the pastels and soft brown shirts are Chris'. He seems like that kind of guy. When Chris sees me looking around, his face turns pink with his blush. He scratches the back of his head and gives me an awkward smile.

"Uh... So you'll be sleeping in the bed with me and Shadow tonight. We wouldn't make you sleep on the floor. If anything, Shadow might not even be sleeping tonight, so you don't have to worry." Chris says this nervously and I wonder if he's ever slept in a bed with a girl before. He's pretty adorable, but sometimes I wonder about his ability to actually interact with his fans. He's kinda awkward around girls. It's pretty cute. I giggle and his head whips around to face me.

"What? Why did you laugh?" His face is desperate to please. As soon as he turned his head, I had immediately put on a straight face. He groans as he realizes that he needs to put pajamas on and I'm in the room. His face turns bright pink when he realizes I don't have pajamas to wear. I can see his imagination grinding in his head, thinking about what I'd... I'd...

My face turns bright red as I leave the room, desperate to make sure he doesn't see that I understand. Kaden walks out of his room and jumps, seeing me in the dark hallway with my face bright red. His face turns to one of confusion and adoration. He smiles at me and starts to open his pink lips.

"So, I'm guessing you guys figured out that you don't have any pajamas, am I right?" Kaden gives me an amused smile and hands me a bundle of clothes. "Here. Use these. They're Devon's. He's the smallest out of us all so I figured you'd want to use his pajamas." I blush and give him an appreciative smile. 

Walking into the room, I see Chris laying on the bed shirtless with a book in his hand. He was wearing navy plaid pajama pants. I knock, realizing he didn't notice and he starts. Chris gasps from sudden shock and turns to face me. His face is one of horror. After a few seconds, his face smooths over and calms until it looks smooth and gentle again. I stare at his bare chest, trying to get him to notice and his face turns bright red. I smile, amused by his modesty. He should have known that I would see him like this if we were sleeping in the same bed together... Wait. Maybe he didn't think he would be this bothered by a girl staring at him shirtless. That's cute.

I giggle, knowing what I know and he blushes an even deeper color of red. This is going to be a long night, isn't it? I gesture to the pajamas and Chris stands up and walks out of the room, closing the door behind him. I start to change, knowing he might come knocking on the door. I quickly put on the pajamas and upon seeing the cute kittens on the navy blue pajamas, I decide not to question it.

I open the door, signaling Chris to come back in and he does. With Shadow. My eyes go wide in surprise as he shoos me out of the room so he can get changed. Once the door is shut, I close my eyes and hope that tonight is gone quicker than it is.
