Chapter 11: I Really Like You

Carissa's POV

Katie and I went to the airport's bathrooms and changed. These sweats were getting hot. Katie and I both changed into some hollister shorts and a tie-dye shirt. I brushed my hair while Katie put on some make-up.

"Oh My God, I look like a zombie." Katie said. "No you don't," I replied. "Whatevs," She retorted.

We walked out to the convertible and drove off.

Hayes drove with Katie in the front and Dylan and I in the back.

LA's weather was amazing, just like the city itself.

Hayes put the top down and Katie took off her seatbelt and put her head up so the wind blew through her hair. She was laughing and screaming. It looked like so much fun, I couldn't resist. I did exactly what Katie did and we were yelling. We got some dirty looks, but yolo.

Hayes turned the radio up and the song 'I Really Like You' by Carly Rae Jepsen came on. I knew this was Katie's favorite song and she has to sing to it with greatest hand motions you'll ever see.

"THIS IS MY SONG!" She yelled. There she goes.

"I really wanna stop
But I just gotta taste for it.
I feel like I could fly with the ball on the moon. So honey hold my hand you like making me wait for it." She sang looking at Hayes.
"I feel I could die walking up to the room, oh yeah" She laughed.

"Late night watching television
But how'd we get in this position?" she started singing using her hands to make a 'what' expression.

"It's way too soon, I know this isn't love, But I need to tell you something" She said pointing to Hayes while he was laughing.

"I really really really really really really like you. And I want you, do you want me, do you want me, too?" She sang while swaying her hips and winked at Hayes at the last line.

"I really really really really really really like you
And I want you, do you want me, do you want me, too?" She said sang while laughing.

"Oh, did I say too much? I'm so in my head, when we're out of touch." She sang to Dylan and I while reaching her hand out to us.

"I really really really really really really like you
And I want you, do you want me, do you want me, too?"

Katie bowed and said, "Thank you everyone."

She ran out of energy and sat down. We all laughed our heads off for what felt like an hour. I finally caught my breath.

"Do you know where we're going" I asked Dylan.

"Uh, I think Hayes's uncle has a beach house that he is letting us stay in for as long as we're in LA." Dylan replied. "Oh, that's awesome." I said, amazed. "Do you know where?" I asked again.
"No, I hope it's cool though." He replied. "Same,"

I wonder how it'll look. What if it's right on Venice beach or even just a private beach just for us?! What if it has a pool?! Or those awesome glass windows?! That would be so cool.

Hayes' POV

I turned up the radio and 'I Really Like You' by Carly Rae Jepsen came on. Katie started performing. She was singing and looking at me. She winked at me and I tried to play it cool.

She's different. A good different. It's like she doesn't have a care in the world.

After her performance, she bowed and we laughed our heads off.

"Haaaayyyyeeeeeessss." Katie whined.

"Yo" I said.

"Yo? I'm a girl, not one of your 'homies'" She said using air quotes.

"Okay, Katie, what's your question or statement or whatever."

"I'm hungry." She stated.

"How? You just had a huge starbucks." I questioned.

"Hey, all of that performing wiped me out." She said, trying to sound like she was telling the truth.

"Ok, fine there's Taco Bell right there." I pointed out.

"Yay!" She exclaimed.

She ordered her food and I parked the car so she could eat. She finished her food and reached over the seat and put her arms around neck/shoulder area.

"You bought me Taco Bell, so I'll love you forever." She said laughing.

"Yay!" I said laughing with her.

God, her laugh is amazing. Just like her teeth, so straight and white, and her hair, so soft, and her personality. I don't know what's going on with me, it's like I can't function right when i'm around her, she's driving me crazy.

She got back in her seat and we drove off.

We were driving to my uncle's beach house he let us stay in as long as we were in LA. My uncle was loaded and I'm pretty sure this was gonna be a million dollar beach house. It has a private beach, so that's pretty cool.

The GPS said we were almost there and I wanted to hurry up and get there because if you forgot, I'm driving illegally. I have a permit, but not a license and there's no one supervising me. But, I'm a rebel so who cares?

We pulled up into the driveway and got out of the car.
