The next morning, after bringing our luggage to the RV, we made our way to the Shameless houses since we were not able to fit it in yesterday. It was actually quite awkward to take pictures in front of the houses, granted, the people living there are probably used to it by now with it being a famous type of landmark now. Our group took multiple pictures together as well as individually. I made sure to take a picture of Tanner kissing my cheek in front of the Gallagher house, to send to Lydia. She loves the show just as much as I and the picture also reveals the surprise of Tanner and I. My phone vibrated almost instantly after ending the text.
'Lyds'- OMG! Does that mean what I think it means?
I chuckled and replied to her that it's not exactly official but that we kissed.
'Lyds'- I am so happy for you Charlie <3 Did you ask him about Trey?
Of course she would ask about him, but I don't think she's supposed to know about him asking her out in Duluth so I just tell her no and she sent a sad face back.
We ended up at the Art Institute of Chicago next. It was a beautiful place but of course, the eight of us had to do something goofy. We reenacted the scene from 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' where we held hands walking through the rooms. We also posed like they did in the movie as well, while taking pictures of each other. We were having an absolute blast. It's pretty cool to do things/see things from movies in real life. Like, so and so stood right here! I know, I'm an odd one but I think it's cool.
After that, we explored the city and took pictures by the big silver bean thing. I learned that it is actually called 'Cloud Gate'. There was also the Crown fountain, where there was two brick walls with people's faces puckering, while it looked like water was coming out of there mouths by a pipe spraying it out. Soon enough, Damon and Sebastian rounded us up and we had to continue our summer adventure.
This time, Sebastian was driving and Jace was sitting next to him in the passengers. Everyone else took places on either the overhead bunk, the sofa or the kitchen table. Tanner and I placed ourselves on the overhead bunk, laying opposite ways so we could both lay our heads on our hands and talk with the others. Damon and Dakota were seated on the sofa, their legs crossed over each other's as they lounged. Matt and Ryder were at the table yet again. It's like they can't get too close to each other or something.
"So how did you and Sebastian swing taking time off when you just graduated?" I asked curiously.
"While interviewing we both told them we had a vacation already planned, they didn't mind and both of us got the jobs we wanted as long as we started as soon as we got back" Damon shrugged.
"At least they were reasonable about it" I commented.
"I don't think any of us asked, what are you two going to FSU for?" I heard Sebastian ask from the driver's seat.
"Exercise Physiology" Tanner answered.
"Mechanical Engineering" I replied.
"Both are really good jobs" Damon said nodding his head. "You guys going on football scholarships?"
"Yeah" we both replied.
"Nice, we'll have to see a game" Damon smiled.
"That'd be cool, we'll let you know if we play any near you guys" Tanner commented.
"Do you guys mind if I put on some music?" Jace's small voice chimed in.
'Nah' and ' Go ahead' were the replies from the group.
"Be wary, his music ranges" Dakota informed us.
"We listen to whatever" I told him. It was quiet until music finally came from the speakers.
Can't stop I need some help
Fuck you, I'm by myself
Is it a true or lie?
It's what you can't deny.
'Cause it's the way you think
Mix with the pills and drink
Brought back to the way you are
Flowed up to there, close to God
You know that hiding ain't gonna keep you safe
Because the tears on your face
They leak and leave a trace
So just when you think the true love's begun
It goes off at any second just like a loaded gun
"Well then" I chuckled
"Told ya" Dakota laughed as well.
"I love this song!" Matt exclaimed "You know, I can take you straight to heaven if you let me, You know I, I can make your body levitate if you let me, You know that I can make your body levitate, le-levitate, I can make your body levitate, le-levitate! you know" Ryder stared lovingly as Matt sang and danced to the song.
"I'd let you" Ryder told Matt with a wink.
"Not what you implied at the fountain" Matt muttered making a slight blush dust across Ryder's cheeks.
"Touché, mon précieux" Ryder replied softly.
"I'm pretty sure this song is about addiction" Dakota chimed in.
"Seems like it could apply to sex too" I stated making everyone laugh in agreement. The song ended and then a familiar song came on.
Lying in my bed, I hear the clock tick and think of you
Caught up in circles
Confusion is nothing new
Flashback, warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcase of memories
Time after
Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said
