Wonder

Chapter 14

Flashes. Cameras. I keep my head down only trying to get to the restaurant as fast as possible. My name's being shouted by plenty and of many, but as I reach the front door I stop and turn looking at the car I had just exited from. There I spot my favorite Cuban American standing and speaking with a fan as they begin surrounding her. A small smile spreads to my lips as I look to her and as I picks up her head with a smile on her lips our eyes lock and all I can see was how much she wanted help out of there. A chuckle scapes my lips as I nod and begin walking back through the crowd getting to the girl. But by the time I get there's a type of barricade around her. A sigh scapes my lips as I reach out low for her hand. Immediately I feel her take hold of it and I gently pull her towards me breaking the human barricade between us. And just like that the brunette was with me as we walked back through the crowd and cameras.

"Thank you" I heard her whisper into my ear but I only nod with a soft smile on my lips as we get to the restaurant. I stop and step aside opening the door for the girl. She gets in and I follow turning slowly to everyone and nodding. I just hope the fans can understand. A low sigh scapes my lips as I enter the restaurant and let the close shut behind me. I spotted James and Olivia and walked towards them.

"Nice to see you two on time" James says with sarcasm in his voice. I glared playfully at him, before adding "at least we are here". He stood up engulfing me with his arms, I squeezed him hiding my face into his chest. He kissed the top of my head lovingly. "I need that" I whispered back into his chest. "Are you okay little one?" He whispered, I nodded my head slightly. I picked my head from his chest to look into his eyes. James smiled at me softly cupping my face into his hands. "I'm here" he mumbles kissing my forehead, I nodded at him giving him a small smile in return before pushing him away playfully. He laughed at me asking "too much?" I nodded my head adding "too much" and then we burst into laughters.

We turned around, noticing Lauren and Olivia's confusing expressions. We peeked at each other weirdly before adding "what?" they both shook their heads sitting down at the table. I sat in front of Lauren sending her a soft smile. "What was that about?" interrogated Olivia. "Just sharing a cute moment with my sister in law" James announced. "Yep I'm his husband sister" I let out placing my arm around James neck. Lauren held a confused look "but aren't you single?" She asked. "Dammm we got caught" I said dramatically. "We are screwed" James continued our little drama show. "We are going to die" we let out together fooling around and faking being dead at the table.

We heard a weird cough besides us, seeing the waiter standing next to our table. "Mm good night, what would you like to drink?" He asked politely. "Hi, I would like red wine please" I say sitting down properly. "I would like white wine" James says embarrassed. "Make that two" Olivia announced. "And what about you my lady?" He said looking at Lauren with a flirty smile. "I am going to stitch with red wine too, thank you". He nodded his head, ogling at Lauren. "I will be back shortly". I looked at James who was looking back at me with an eyebrow raised. I rolled my eyes at him focusing my view on my lap while clenching my jaw.

I noticed Lauren eyes on me, as I try to ignore her. Then I felt a leg brush gently against mines, earning my attention. I looked down recognizing Lauren's stiletto. I pick up my head meeting emerald eyes. She perked up her eyebrow smirking slightly. I looked at her left eye, also at her plumpy lips, then at her right eye. Trying to make her nervous. She dropped the smirk blushing profusely. I smiled knowing that I accomplished my mission.

Our little moment was interrupted by the waiter form earlier, he placed our beverages. Brushing his hand accidentally with Lauren's shoulder. I glared at him, taking a long sip from the liquid in front of me. Is he serious right now? He asked for our meals while I just sat there scowling at the waiter. James nudged me playfully "stop with the glare, the poor guy is going to poop his pants". I told him my order, looking away from him, meeting Lauren's green eyes. My eyes automatically went from the hard glare to the soft gaze.

I am such a simp for her.

She smiled cutely at me, making me smile as well. She brused her leg against mine sofly, mouthing "i'm yours". My eyes widened at her words, making my stomach burst with butterfly's. I couldn't help but held the dorky grin that was displayed on my face. Lauren chuckled at my reaction shaking her head playfully.

"Right before I close my eyes
The only thing that's on my mind
Been dreaming that you feel it too
I wonder what it's like to be loved by you".
