Jack Gilinsky P.O.V:
"We should travel in group clown cars more often." I smiled. Only half kidding.
"No." Stacy said alarmingly as she fixes her hair which was stuck to her lips thanks to Johnson's get driving skills or purposeful swearving.
We made it to the apartments. Jack and I have one to ourselves next to Nash and Cam. Aaron and Taylor said they would hang a little before heading out to their houses which were not far away from L.A's core.
Nash's unmistakable bombing voice begins and we all turn around to face him. "Okay, well we don't need everyone to go grab their luggage and we need some to actually stay and clean up. So I nominate Hayes Grier as one who stays and-"
"Whoa wait. This is your house so YOU should stay."
"This is my house and I'm also older so I get to decide-".
"I'm Hayes freaking Grier." Little Hayes pronounced boldly, puffing out his chest slightly to his older brother. Nash looked like he was about to die laughing. Cameron leaned over to Hayes.
"Not the right time for that one." He smiled but Hayes looked disappointed.
"How about this," Shawn interjected, noticing the tension. "I'll take Matt and the girls and he and I can take 2 of the cars, that way
there is room for them and their luggage and you guys who own apartments here can clean them up with help from the rest of the group." Shawn finished with his hands angled out as if he wanted to make sure that the group was okay with it. Stacy began to laugh and the rest of the girls joined her.
"Whats funny?" Johnson asked.
"We are going to need at least one more person." I volunteered.
"Good I need someone strong to carry my shit." She smiled and ran her fingers up my chest and walked past me to the cars. Bridget turned on her toes smiling back and forth between Stacy and I and begins to follower her step to the cars. The rest of them did the same and the all said thank you to the rest who were staying back and see you soon. I began to walk to the cars myself and fall in step with Matt.
"So-"
"Shut up before you say something you regret." I tried not to smile but a part of me wanted him to say it. I wanted to know if i was dreaming or not.
"Stacy huh?" He smiled.
"Stacy." I say not really to him. I just liked that way it sounds.
***
We get to the hotel where there is 2 bell hops holding 3 wheeled carts FULL of luggage.
"Damn!" Matt was the first to say it and Shawn and I nodded in agreement.
"Didn't we mention that we work for in photo shooting industry for fashion?" Darcy said with a sort of smile.
"Yeah, sorry there is so much stuff. Tomarrow we will be able to put most of this in the studio and we can probably talk to our manager to get a storage unit-"
"Ems. Your babbling again." Bridget reminded her as if this was a reoccurring thing she does. Emily's face was filled with worry as she furrowed her brow trying to see how we were going to fit this all. She also began to apologize and thank the bell hoppers giving them a lovely tip.
"We'll make this work. Don't worry." Shawn said said he placed his hand on her arm. She stopped grabbing things as she looked at his hand and Shawn awkwardly brought his hand back while Emily blushed uncontrollably.
"She's so funny to watch when she's around other boys." Stacy said with her arms crossed and her head tilted in a way that reminded me of how Nash would look at Hayes when he accomplished something great. I then realized that she was talking to me.
"Oh yeah," I look back at my boy Shawn, "well Shawn can get that way too. He might be a pretty boy but he's is the kind of pretty boy that gets nervous around girls too easily."
"Is that so?" I look back at Stacy who slowly looks back at me. She is maybe an inch shorter but not too far.
"What kind of pretty boy are you?" Her full lips turn up at the corners and I feel myself smile from ear to ear. Before I could smile Cassie interrupts.
"Hey! Leave the flirting for later!" She says mockingly and I see that Stacy sticks her tongue out and grab a bag. I follow in pursuit.
***
We managed to get all the stuff in with one little- not really a problem but- incident.
"Gilinsky and, Stacy are going to have to double. Matt and I already went through this today." Bridget said with her finger up to the sky decidedly.
"I mean, if the situation turns and we have to do that again," Matt smirked
"Don't worry too much dear. If you wanted it repeated you could have just asked." Bridget smirked even more.
"Matt your playing a dangerous game. In a battle of wits with this girl you are bound to lose." Darcy said and walked with Shawn and Emily to one car. This left Stacy, myself, Cassie, Bridget, and Matt in the other and me smiling. Stacy punched my arm jokingly as she saw my smile.
"Well thank goodness you thick as hell." Cassie crackles as she opened the right side middle seat door. Bridget sat in the passenger seat, Matt in the driver seat and Stacy and I behind him. And damn Cassie was right. Bridget smirked at us then at Matt. Without looking back she asked.
"Cassie, you got your video camera out?"
"Almost." She said fumbling with her phone.
"I swear." Stacy said with an alarmed look as she leans her back against the door.
"I wouldn't sit like that if-" Matt turned hard out of the parking lot and Stacy hit her head on the door.
"Ow Matt! Who gave you your drivers license? A donate for the hunger hear here and get a free license and sticker stand?" She said rubbing her head and I help by rubbing it too. Matt and Bridget laugh and cassie tried to stay steady as she recorded.
"Do you feel a bump? Is it bad?" It was pretty bad but I wasn't going to tell her.
"No no no, there is like nothing there." I try soothingly.
"It hurts like a bitch."
I pull her toward s me so that she isn't leaning on the door but on me.
"I wouldnt sit her like that Ja-" He it one of L.A.'s potholes and while that was inevitable i still couldn't help but be mad. Her head hit my lip.
"Ow! Matt! Her joke about your diver licence? Yeah, what she said." I begin to rub me lip and i feel the blood. Stacy turns.
"Oh my god did I do that?" Her eyes filled with regret.
"Its fin-"
"Is it on my hair?!"
I couldn't help but laugh. Wow.
"No." I chuckle.
"Sorry." She grimaced and looked back at my lip.
"Its fine." I repeat. I shift her and made it so that het head rested on my chest and my head in hers.
"Now why couldn't we figure that out?" Bridget says looking at Matt nut motioning to Stacy and I who I can feel is smiling. Matt looked at the rear view mirror and I smiled.
"I guess we are to dramatic and stubborn. Too much alike that we think better under pressure than not." He looked at her through checking the rode and she shrugged a smiled in agreement looking at him when he looked at her. Cassie stop the video only to take the occasional picture ut returns to her video.
"Room. All if you." Cassie grumbled.
"Dont worry. We will be returning to Carter soon for you." Stacy mumbled enough for the four of us to hear but not Cassie.
"Really?" I asked looking at Stac. And she looked up at me a smiled.
"Wait what?" Cassie asked as she realized that Stacy said something about her that made everyone laugh.
The drive was quite enjoyable and filled with the mentioning of Carter and Cassie and every time, Cassie didn't catch it.
