Wonderland

26. Nobody informed me

I slid in next to Bryce as he starts up the engine of his silver audi R8. I must say he's got a nice taste when it comes to cars, back there in the Philippines I got my black mini cooper that is now sitting pretty at our garage.

My thoughts trailed over to what I saw in my penthouse building. I am sure that I saw a glimpse of him as the elevator door closes at us and I'm pretty sure that he caught me looking at him.

He was dressed with black jeans and white t-shirt, completely having his free day I bet. It's Sunday, what do I expect? Then I remember what Cole said to me back in that rooftop.

"We skyped last night, he says he's working in a hotel in New York."

I let that thought escaped for a little while. I can't believe I let that slip! Now, sooner or later we would bump at each other.

But I will refuse on that.

I should let him go right? I shouldn't be afraid when the time come and he'll be bumping at me, right? I mean, we cannot escape each other, especially now that I figured he's here.

And that I probably saw him in my building that is.

I shook my head, why am I letting Carlisle crept into my mind? I was sure I just- assume that I saw him earlier, but what do I presume right? Maybe that guy earlier was just look a like of Carl. New York is a big city, I doubt that it could be him.

And if it was him, how little this world could be, right?

"Hey, you look like in deep thoughts right there." I heard Bryce talking to me, I look at him and sigh.

"So what are your plans in college?" he asks, completely turning over.

I thought for a little while, what are my plans? I took Tourism Management in the Philippines.

"I'm still thinking about it though. I mean, I've been in college I took Tourism." I replied.

"Yeah, I heard about it. Your mum was proud that you took Tourism, she always thought you'd get medicine like your sister."

I breathe in, looking at the concrete we passes by.

"Hey Bryce." I called as he turns to me, "Where are you taking us?"

"To your grandpa." he says.

"Where exactly it is?"

"In the Stadium."

I stared at him, "Why there?"

In a Stadium? Is my grandfather out of his mind? In a basketball court?!

"There's a big game coming out today, your grandfather thought it would be nice to tell you in a game."

He then pulled up, I look around the big stadium standing in front of us. There were many cars and people trying to get in to line, some people gave me odd looks.

Psh. Like I didn't notice I'm too overdressed for Godsake.

No need to stare at me you freaks!

Bryce hold my wrist as he follows a big guy in black and leads us to the back entrance. I wonder how Bryce did it, but then my grandpa planned this. It shouldn't be a surprise.

I walked in silence, trailing over to the big guy and the curly guy that is still holding my wrist as they engaged in a conversation and as I fought the urge to cry because my feet hurts. They walk faster than a robot.

We reached the elevator as they continue to have their conversation. I slowly sink in the side, knowing that a) completely unaware what they were talking about, b) the fact that I'm not in the season to get dressed less formally, c) I'm breathing the same air as Austin Mahone slid next to me in this elevator and d) the fact that Bryce was still holding me.

Austin smiled at me as I hide my hand where Bryce was holding me. I smiled softly at him. Wow, this room had too much testosterone. I wonder why.

Bryce looked over to me when he noticed I stirred, then look upon Austin. They exchange looks and then hugged out. I stare at them wide eyes which earned a laughed from Bryce and Austin and the big guy beside Bryce.

"Yeah, Austin this is Heather." Bryce introduces us formally.

"Hi Heather, nice meeting you." Austin Mahone's voice gives me chills. I fight the urge to dance happily and instead I took his hand in mine as we handshake.

"Hello Austin." I smiled, "A fan." I added. I look around Bryce as he stiffles a laugh, I elbowed him. "Shut up."

Austin chuckles as I asked, "Can I take a picture with you?"

"Yeah, why not?" he then turned to the big guy.

I gave the big guy which named Ben, my phone as I took a photo with Austin. We took five on my phone then Austin tossed his phone towards Ben and made him to take a photo to us again. I smiled again, hoping I look pretty decent. I look over to my side and saw that Bryce was texting, I grabbed him by a hand.

"Try to smile please." I whispered to him.

Bryce chuckles, "Will do ma'am."

"Last picture, one two three say cheese!" Ben says.

"Cheese!" we shouted in unison.

But as the flash, flashes through us. I felt my cheeks burn at the moment.

Bryce kissed me on the cheek.

"Why'd you kissed me?" I slap him on his chest.

He chuckled, "Because you're cute."

I huffed and walked away from him, "I'm not a dog."

"Dogs are cute." He commented as we walked away from the elevator, Austin following us in the back. "Right Austin?"

Before Austin could react I jumped in, "Well, I'm not a dog."
