Chapter 9:

I woke early in the morning to a strange ticking noise with Josh's arm draped over me. I smiled and snuggled into his arm dismissing the mysterious the noise. I rolled over to face him, when I did I realized he was still asleep, he looked so peaceful and beautiful, seeing it made me think of how horrible I probably looked in my sleep.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I remembered I was staring at Josh like a creeper. Yanking my hand out from under the blanket I poked him gently in the face a few times before he began to stir, when I thought he was awake I stopped poking him but he stilled so I continued to poke him until he swiftly grabbed my hand. I screamed in surprise as he laughed and started poking my face.

"You awake yet?" He asked, viciously poking my face.

"Stop." I laughed, sitting up and tucking my legs underneath me, Josh sat up too, as I rubbed the sleepers from my eyes and attempted to flatten my hair.

"Do you hear that?" Josh asked noticing the ticking noise I had heard earlier.

"Yeah I heard it earlier." I responded getting up and walking towards the bathroom in the hotel room.

"It's a camera." He whispered standing up quickly , I spun around panicked.

"What!" I shrieked looking towards the giant window in we hadn't noticed last night. I ran towards it and flung the shades shut and turned to face Josh with my body weight pressed against the now covered windows. "How do they find you?"

"I honestly don't know." He laughed, I glared at him and walked to the bathroom to shower.

"What the hell kind of soap is this?" I asked walking back out if the bathroom with a tiny hotel soap in my hand. Josh looked up at me from the hotel laptop in our room and burst out laughing as I stared confused at the unnaturally tiny soap.

"It's hotel soap, they are always small." He explained to me through laughter. I narrowed my eyes at the super natural soap and walked back into the bathroom.

After I showered I dried my hair and Josh and I checked out of the hotel and spent an hour driving back to his house.

"No more adventures." I announced, remembering why we were at the hotel in the first place as we pulled up in front of Josh's house.

"You don't need to convince me." He laughed as I reached into the backseat and grabbed all my shopping bags from yesterday. "Let me take those." Josh grabbed the shopping bags from me and got out of the car.

"Oh, what a gentleman." I cooed and ruffled his hair making Josh laugh.

"Oh no." Josh stopped laughing and trailed if sighing heavily.

"What's up?" I asked looking where he was staring to see a red jeep also parked outside his house with Kentucky license plates.

"My brother is here that's his car." Josh said nodding towards the car.

"Why is that bad?"

"It's bad because your story that we made up for the paparazzi won't work on him, he will know you aren't a friend from home and if he tells my mom I have a fourteen- year- old girl staying with me your living situation could get very complicated." He explained.

"Just tell him not to tell your mom." I said leading Josh towards the front door. "Problem solved." I laughed. "How'd he get inside anyway?"

"I bet I left the door unlocked, or my mom gave him the key she has." Josh said opening the door.

"Give me the bags I'll take them to my room and I have to change." I told Josh taking the bags.

I hurried to my room and threw the bags on my bed. I quickly striped out of the clothes I had been wearing the day before. After I undressed I dressed in a casual short bright red strapless floral dress Josh had gotten me from Hollister and brown lace ankle boots with small heals on them. I went to the bathroom and brushed out my hair and did my makeup briskly.

When I walked out of my room I heard Josh and Connor arguing in the living room.

"You can't tell mom." I heard Josh plead.

"You sound like we're five again." I heard his brother Connor retort. "Don't tell Mommy." He laughed

"I don't care, you just can't tell her get it?"

"What's stopping me."

"I can't put her through anything more than what she's been through!"

"What's so terrible about her life?"

"I'll tell you later."

Connor paused and thought for a moment "Fine, I won't tell Mom." He finally caved.

"Thank you." I cut in, walking into the room. Connor snapped his head in my direction and his jaw dropped.

"Charlotte?" He choked out. "This is the 14-year-old girl you have living with you?" He asked raising an eyebrow and putting emphasis on '14-year-old'.

"Yes she is." Josh smiled and walked towards me taking my hands "I told you you'd look good in that dress."

"I still don't believe you." I laughed releasing his hands and playfully pushing his arm.

"You're not fourteen." Connor stated taken aback.

I blushed and looked at the ground making both the boys laugh.

"Why not?" I asked quietly.

"You don't look it at all. You look like you could be 18." He told me shamelessly raking his eyes up and down my body making me flush red again.

"Dude, stop." Josh laughed punching Connor in the arm trying to appear playful but I could tell it was a hard hit.

"Do you want something to eat Char?" Josh asked me walking towards the kitchen.

"Yes!" I exclaimed walking over and slumping down on the couch tiredly. Connor sat down next to me after Josh left the room. I sat up smiling at Connor "how long are you staying?" I asked.

"A few days." He told me.

"Oh awesome!" I said cheerfully.

"Yeah I can't wait to get to know you." He said winking making me blush once again.

"Stop." I whinnied.

"What?"

"Making me blush it makes me feel weird." I told him.

"It's cute on you." He said sweetly.

"Charlotte come here." Josh suddenly called me into the kitchen sounding worried.

"What?" I asked hesitantly joining him in the kitchen. Josh was staring down at his phone looking frightened I looked down at it.

There right on the home page of a gossip website was a giant picture of Josh and I in bed at the hotel sleeping with his arm draped over me.

Sooooooo I still have nothing 2 say lol do u think Connor likes Charlotte? Hmmmm *smirks*
