Unexpected

Chapter Twenty-Two

I was all packed and ready to go. I tugged my suitcase down the stairs. Hannah and I struggling to hold it up. The guys were stuffing their faces with bagels and cream cheese. They looked up hearing is struggling and just stared at us. What the heck. Where their gentlemen side?
"Don't help us or anything?" I said sarcastically looking at them with a blank stare.
"Oh yeah sorry!" They said rushing to help us.
"Thank you." Hannah and I said straightening ourselves out.
"So we have an hour or two before an interview and then our flight leaves for Cali at 6:30" Calum said.
"Sooooo that means we can go shopping!" I said smiling like a child. They all 'ughed' and grunted.
"Really?" Ash said.
"Yep! We can get you boys some new t-shirts and oooh I saw this one adorable blue flannel that I wanna get from forever 21 and ash I saw this shirt that says just plain 'drums' and you should get it and it's cute right? Cause you're a drummer in a famous band?" I said laughing and smiling.
"Yeah adorable." He said rolling his eyes.
"Eeee so exciting! Let's go let's go let's go!" I said walking to the car. "Oh could one of you grab my bag?" I said hopping in the front.

*in a store*
"Calum! Look we should get these muscle t's! They are matching!" I said grabbing my size and his size.
"Ooo I like that." He said grabbing it and examining the t-shirt. "Cute" he said.
"Did you just say 'cute'?" Michael said laughing at Calum.
"Yeah. So it is cute. I'm cute." He said walking over to more muscle t's. I had already gotten the ash and Luke distracted with flannels and jeans. Now for Michael.
I walked over to a table of random t shirts and saw one that said blink-182 I went to grab it when Michael grabbed it first.
"Hey." I said crossing my arms.
"Hey what? It's a dude shirt in my size." He said smirking at me.
"But if I wore it with a white skater skirt and tucked it in a little bit it would look adorable on me. He just stared at me for a second pondering what I just said.
"Yeah. You're right." He said tossing it to me. "But I'm borrowing it sometime." He said smiling at me and walking to some skinny jeans.

I blushed hugging the shirt to me.

*5:30*
"Avery! I want the front!" Luke whined.
"Okay you big baby. You can have it." I said laughing and crawling towards the back of the car. It was in motion so I was struggling. Luke got to the front seat and smiled getting comfortable in the seat. The only seat available in the car was the very back where Michael was. I crawled over Ashton and Calum.
"Get your ass out of my face!" Calum said shoving my butt.
"Eeek!" I screamed falling into Michael's lap.
"Hey Calum! Come on! You could've broke her neck." Michael said pulling me up. I was literally just sitting on his lap. No one noticed but us. Everyone was on their phones.
"Sorry." I said moving off his lap to the seat next to him, still really really close to him. Our shoulders were touching. He looked into my eyes and back to my lips. I breathed heavily. Would he really kiss me in a car full of boys?
I looked at his lips and slid my hand over his. I could feel his breath on my mouth.
"Here!" Ashton screamed breaking the perfect moment. I cursed under my breath and Michael quickly moved away from me.

We walked through the airport and I tried to look at Michael, Catch his eyes, but he refused to look at me. He just glared forward. I sighed and slowed my pace walking next to Luke.
"Cheer up Ave. We're going to Cali!" He said pulling me into his shoulder.

I sat next to Luke on the plane. We talked to Ashton and Calum in the Row next to ours. Michael sat behind them with one of the security guards. He had his earphones in and he was looking out the window. He looked so peaceful. His jawline was like 'whoa' out there and his eyes were sparkly. His hair was in a beanie and he had some stubble on his chin. He was wearing my favorite blue jean jacket of his and a sex pistols shirt.

"Avery! Earth to Ave! Hey Ave how's the sex day dream of yours going?" Calum said snapping in my face.
I snapped my head forward.
"Excuse me? What? Sex daydream? The hell Calum?" I said blushing.
They all started laughing at me causing Michael to look over.
"You were literally staring at him for 10 minutes Ave." Luke said. He didn't specify who so Michael looked confused and pissed. I excused myself and walked to the back where the bathrooms were. I went into the first one and locked it shut.
"God Avery you need to snap out of it. It is just Michael. Hot, sexy, adorable, Michael. Shit, no, Avery stop." I said to myself in the mirror. There was a knock on the door. I opened it and Michael was standing there smiling like an idiot. Did he hear me? Shit. Avery. Damn.

"You okay in there? Sounds like you're talking to yourself." He said chuckling to himself.
"Yeah I uh just couldn't figure out how to lock the door at first." I lied. He knows I've been on 30 different planes in my life. He raised his eyebrows at me.
"Really? You need me to show you how it works?" Was that what I think it was? He started to push me into the bathroom again. It was. I smiled to myself.
Michael and I were in the airplane bathroom inches apart because of how tiny they were. He had his hands culling my face, his thumbs rubbing along my jawline. Out breaths were mingling. His sent was so familiar and welcoming. I missed that smell and this feeling I have right now that only Michael has given me. My hands were resting on his sides. I closed my eyes as Michael pressed our foreheads together. His hands moved down to my waist as I moved my hands across his chest. He lifted me up onto the sink and i wrapped my legs around him. I moved my face closer to his and just as soon as we were about to kiss the stupid flight attendant knocked on the door.
"The plane will be landing in 5 minutes. The pilot is asking every one to take their seat and buckle up."
"Okay." I said my voice squeaking.
Michael sighed and put me back on the ground unlocking the door and walking out.

I turned around to the mirror. Holy shit did that just happen? I bit my lip smiling remembering that beautiful memory. I walked back to my seat biting my lip as hard as I could so I wouldn't smile like an idiot and trying it to blush. Please don't notice. I suck at poker faces.
"You good?" Luke said.
"Yup." I said popping the 'p' glancing slightly at a smirking Michael looking down at his hands.
