Falling For His Smile

Chapter 4

Max's POV

  I woke up the next morning with Pete's arm wrapped around my waist securely. This was a normal thing. When we slept together when we were younger, he would always make sure I was close to him.

  I felt tired still and thought about the long day ahead of us. I decided to just go back to sleep.

  When I woke up the second time, Pete's arm was still around me, but he was awake and watching TV. "Good morning, Pete." I said in a small voice. "'Morning. Sleep well?" he said. I nodded. He smiled and gave me a kiss on the forehead.

  I got out of the bed after laying there with Pete for a little while. "I'm gonna shower." I said whilst getting clothes out of my suitcase. "Alright." Pete said.

  Brendon wasn't in the room so I supposed he was with Ryan. I walked into the bathroom and closed the door. I stripped my clothes and turned on the shower. Once I was sure that the water was warm enough, I got in. I quickly washed myself and got out.

  After I had dried off and dressed my self, I walked out of the bathroom. Patrick and Josh were sitting on Brendon's bed talking to Pete. "Sup emos." I said walking to my suitcase.

  I felt someone wrap their arms around me. I turned my head slightly and saw Josh's pink hair. "What was that?" he said. "I said 'Sup emos'." I said. "Well, ok." he carried me over to my bed.

   "Pete, would you like to do the honors?" Josh asked. "My pleasure." Pete said. Pete's fingers attached to my sides and he started tickling me. "Oh god...please...stop!" I yelled between breaths. "What do you say?" Josh asked with a playful smirk. "I'm sorry!" I yelled, laughing. Pete stopped tickling me and I caught my breath.

  Once we were already for the day, we decided to go shopping. There was a mall not to far from the hotel so we decided to go there.

  "This place is fucking huge." I said. "Why do you curse so much?" Pete asked. I just shrugged. We split up into groups. Me, Pete, Josh, and Ryan decided to go to Hot Topic, being the emos that we are.

  We walked into the store and my eyes widened. Band merch from bands like All Time Low, Pierce The Veil, and Sleeping With Sirens were everywhere. I could feel the emo radiating.

  Me and Josh walked over to one side while Pete and Ryan went to the other side. "Alex Gaskarth is my spirit animal." I said while looking at ATL merch. I heard Josh chuckle. "I think you're more like Jack. Very dirty mind." Josh said. I laughed a little. "Why thank you." I said and flipped my hair.

  While we were looking through some skinny jeans, a girl walked up to Josh. "Hey Josh! I'm a huge fan, could I, uh, get a picture?" asked. Josh looked over at me. "Go for it." I said with a smile.

Josh and the girl took the picture. Before she left she looked over at me. "Are you his girlfriend?" she asked with a small smile. I nearly choked on the air around me. "No, sorry. I'm just a friend." I said. "That's too bad. You guys would make a good couple." she said and walked away. I looked over at Josh and we started laughing.

"What are you two laughing at?" Pete said as he and Ryan approached us. "Nothing." I said trying to hide my laughter. Josh just continued his giggling.

Josh's POV

Once we had paid for everything, Pete and Ryan went to find the others while me and Max went to a music store somewhere in the mall.

"This place is great. Lots of music. Lots of cute band members." Max said holding up an All Time Low album. "Am I a cute band member?" I asked. Yes, Max was a gorgeous girl, but I have to try and keep it on the down low. She's got everything I like in a girl but she doesn't have feelings for me. "You're adorable." she said with a giggle. Adorable. Great.

  We were in there for a little while before Pete called and said to head back to the hotel to get ready for the show. The others had already left so me and Max walked home by ourselves.

  We were about 2 blocks away when I saw some guys staring at Max. "I wish they would stop staring." she mumbled. "Me too. It makes me uneasy watching you uneasy." I said. I put my arm around her waist and pulled her close. "Thank you." she said into my side.

  Once we arrived at the hotel, Pete was waiting in the lobby. "Hello, lovebirds." Pete gave suggestive eyes. "You're so annoying." Max said and rolled her eyes. I just laughed it off. "Come on. To the elevator!" Pete yelled. "Peter!" Max whisper-yelled after him. He turned around smiling like a little kid. I laughed and Max turned around and smiled at me. I smiled at her wanting her to be mine.
