Falling For His Smile

Chapter 3

Max's POV

Me, Pete and Brendon finished getting ready and headed out the door. We walked down the long hallway to the elevator. Everyone was meeting downstairs in the lobby.

The elevator doors opened and we stepped in. I had a really weird fear of elevators so I was actually nervous. Brendon placed his hand on my lower back and I felt better actually.

When we reached the lobby, everyone was standing in a group talking. They all managed to dress up fairly well. "Its about time!" Patrick said as he spotted us. "Pete's eyeliner wasn't perfect. Sorry." I said, making everyone laugh a little. Pete rolled his eyes. "Love you." I said and joined the rest of the group.

We decided on walking since the restaurant was only a block away. A lot of people stared. Probably because 11 people walking in a group down the street looked a bit strange.

The restaurant was so nice inside, I felt like I hadn't dressed up enough. It was a fairly large restaurant that had fancy tables and booths.

The man at the front desk gave us a cold stare as we walked in. "Do you have a seat for 11?" Tyler asked nicely. "Right this way." he said.

The man led us to the back of the restaurant to a very large booth.

Everyone sat down and got comfortable. "My name is Ben and I'll be your waiter for tonight. What would everyone like to drink?" Ben asked. I got to admit, he was kind of cute. He looked over at me when everyone was done and smiled. I let out a giggle. Pete looked Ben up and down.

Ben came back with our drinks and we ordered our food. We all just sat around talking until our food got done. "Hey I need to use the bathroom." I said.

Luckily, only Pete and Patrick were blocking my way, so it wasn't to much of a hassle to get out of the booth.

I walked to the bathroom and did my business. When I came out, Ben and another waiter was at our table with our food. I quickly walked over to join them.

The food was great and every time Ben walked over to see how we were doing, he would flash me a smile or a wink. I would always look down and blush.

"I don't see what's so great about a waiter." Pete mumbled. "Aw, look at Pete. He's being over-protective." Patrick said. Pete rolled his eyes and went back to his food. I reached over and gave him a high-five.

After everyone was finished with their food, we payed and left the restaurant.

The plan was to go back to the hotel and hang out a bit. We were walking down the street when my mom texted me. I was texting her back so I was moving sort of slow.

"Lagging behind." Josh said. I looked up and smiled. "Yeah, I was just texting my mom." I said.

Josh looked across the street and suddenly threw his arm around my shoulders. "What are you doing?" I asked in a low voice. "Those guys are looking at you like you're a piece of meat." he mumbled. I looked over and saw a group of men looking at me. One of them met my eyes and waved. I turned around and snuggled close to Josh's side.

We got more looks when we walked inside because a certain Wentz couldn't keep his voice down. "Peter! Its a fucking library!" I whisper yelled. He gave me a look and then looked around. "Sorry everyone!" he said and turned around.

Josh still had his arm around me when we got on the elevator. There wasn't enough room so we had to take two trips. Me, Josh, Tyler, Pete, and Patrick went up together.

When we reached our floor, Josh took his arm from around me and caught up with Tyler. "Do you have a thing for Josh?" Pete tried to whisper. Josh turned around and smiled. "No, you cold corndog." I said and shoved him away a little. "I ship it." he mumbled.

Once everyone was in me, Pete and Brendon's room, we decided on watching a scary movie. Josh and I were laying on me and Pete's bed. I was cuddled up to his side and he had his arm around me.

Pete and Patrick were sitting on the other bed and every once in a while I could feel Pete looking at us. It was funny really. Me and Josh didn't have a thing. Yes, Josh is a really nice guy and he's a great person, but I do not have a thing for him.

The movie was great and eventually everyone left to their own rooms. "See you, later, Max." Josh said and left.

"Max, are you in love?" Brendon asked once everyone was gone. "What? No." I said and went to get some comfortable clothes to sleep in. "Admit it, you like Josh." Pete said with a smirk. "Absolutely not." I said and rolled my eyes. "What would your ship name be? Jax or Mosh?" Brendon asked.
