One Day

Chapter 5

When I wake up, the plane has landed and the flight attendant is telling us to get our carry-on bags. Emma and I walk out of the plane and into the warm air. We haven't changed since yesterday. When we get to baggage claim Emma starts complaining that the seats were so uncomfortable to sleep on. I say that I found them just fine. Then she starts telling me about her dream as we walk out of baggage claim with our suitcases rolling behind us. I only catch a few words because I'm still thinking about how we are going to get by without a car. Just then a bus pulls up and says it's going to the L.A. Fortune Hotel (also know as the hotel my mom paid for us to stay at.). I look at Emma, "should we board?"
"It might be the only choice we have."
So we board. We find a seat across from some very handsome guys, very handsome guys. One of them looks at us and whispers something to his friend. He laughs and looks at us. "Hey ladies." He says, I blush when I realize I was staring. Then I look at Emma at realize she's blushing too. "Hi." Emma and I say at the same time. The guy who looked at us when we sat down extends a hand and says, "I'm Caleb, and this is my friend Jack." He says pointing at the boy next to him. Emma and I look at each other, "I'm Ashley," I say, "but everyone calls me Ash."
"I'm Emma," she pauses, " and everyone calls me Emma." We all laugh.
"So what are you ladies doing here in L.A.?" Jack asked both of us even though he's staring at me. "Umm it was a school drawing." Emma explains. Caleb is staring at Emma and I can't help but notice her blushing and glancing at him every once in a while. "Would you and Emma like to join us for dinner tonight?" Jack asks me.
I look at Emma but only to see that she and Caleb are sharing smiles and take that as a yes. "Yeah we would love to, thanks." I say.
"How about you and Caleb switch spots." Jack says to me.
Caleb and I switch spots and I sit next to Jack. "So how long are you going to be here for?"
"A day and a half, we are leaving tomorrow."
"Oh, okay." He looks down.
"What's wrong?" I ask
"I was just hoping you would be staying for longer."
I blush, "Oh well, maybe we can."
I look at Emma and Caleb sitting in the other seat hitting it off.
Jack and Caleb kinda look alike. Jack has dirty blond hair, spiked up in a Cesar and bright blue eyes. Caleb has dirty blond hair that waves over his forehead, swishing it every so often and chocolate brown eyes. So never mind, they look nothing alike.
Jack and I start talking about home and where we come from. And then we realize we have hotel rooms right next to each other.
"Wow that's weird, it's like they knew we were going to meet." Jack says.
"Yeah, I know weird."
We are both quiet for a moment, kinda taking each other in for the second time, actually noticing who they are and what's happening, we are so close to each other our hands are probably one inch from touching and I'm staring into his bright blue eyes.
And then we stop at the hotel and the moment is ruined Caleb and Jack go to their room and Emma and I go to ours. We unpack our stuff in silence, probably both thinking about Jack and Caleb. Then Emma looks at me and smiles, "This is going to be the best trip ever."
