Locked away Patrick Stump

Ch 10 Lets be alone together

Ester POV

I woke up.

No one was in the hotel room. I picked up my phone and saw a text from Rose.

"Went out to lunch with everyone else. Be back at 2ish." It read.

It's one now. I have a hour of the hotel to myself. I put on my headphones and ate some fruit snacks till one of my favorite songs came on.

Run dry on Patrick's solo record.

Patrick's POV

I came back early from lunch since I needed to fix a string on my guitar.

I was in my room when I heard fain singing.

I walked over to the door leading to Esters room.

"Woke up this morning
The room was spinning
And I don't remember what I did last night
Beg the ceiling for forgiveness
Cause I don't want to remember what I did last night!" She sang.

No way she listened to my solo record.

She's such a great singer. A found myself cracking the door to hear her better.

"Step one
drink
Step two
make mistakes
Step three
pretend you don't remember
Step four
drink a little more
Step five
I need to run dry
I need to run dry!" She continued.

She dancing along to the end of the song. The whole song. And that's like 8 minutes.

She turned and saw me.

Shoot no. Well too late to turn back now.

"Uhh Hey Ester." I said awkwardly.

"Heyyy how long have you been there." She said looking down.

"The whole song."

"Oh."

"Hey your a great singer. I didn't think you'd listen to my solo record."

"It's a great record. Who wouldn't listen to it." She said smiling.

"Do you wanna go somewhere later?" I asked her.

"Sure, where?"

"Surprise."

Esters POV

I can't believe that happened.

Sure he's hear me sing before but that was with no major in the background and I was in my pajamas.

I started to get ready for wherever I'm going with Patrick.

I got on a black sweatshirt that said meow with cat ears and whiskers around it.

Then my black skinny jeans and bright blue vans.

I noticed it was 1:40. I got my eyeliner on and knocked on Patrick's door.

He opened the door and smiled.

"Come on let's go." He said.

He walked into my room and we left through my door since I knocked on the connecting door.

We walked down the hall and into the elevator.

We got out and Patrick stopped me.

"Get on my back." He said.

"I'll crush you." I said.

"Come on Est." he said with a puppy dog face.

I jumped onto his back and he ran out of the hotel.

We got outside and he started walking down the sidewalk still on his back.

Then everyone else turned the corner.

"Awww look at you two." Said Cayley.

I laughed and got down from Patrick's back.

Pete winked at Patrick.

Patrick grabbed my hand.

"We'll see you guys later." Patrick said.

"Bye." They said and I waved.

"So wanna tell me where we're going?" I looked at him raising my eyebrows.

"Not a chance."

"Okay okay close your eyes." Patrick said stopping me with the biggest smile ever.

"Why." I said dragging the "y".

"Just do it." He said.

"Fine Shia Labeouf." I said closing my eyes.

Patrick grabbed my hands yet again causing me to blush for the eight hundredth time today.

We turned a corner.

"Okay. Open." He said.

I opened my eyes to see the Tim Burton museum.

"Oh my god Patrick! This is my dream how'd you know!" I squealed hugging him.

"I did ask you what your favorite movie was for nothing." He said.

I let go and we walked in.

I loved this already. I've always wanted to go here. I mainly focused on the "Nightmare before Christmas" until I turned the corner.

I started to freak out once we got to the "Corpse Bride" section. It being my favorite movie.

I was standing in front of the Emily model. I sat there starting at it forever.

"How could someone make something so beautiful." I said.

"I think the same thing about you." Patrick said.

I turned around. We both were blushing.

"Ester. I've like you ever since I saw you and your so beautiful, kind, smart, funny and one hell of a bass player. Wi you be my girlfriend." He said looking into my eyes taking my hands.

"Yes of course I be your girlfriend!" I exclaimed hugging him.

We let go from the hug. We both looked into each other's eyes again.

Getting closer and closer until we kissed.

It was long. Passionate. Wonderful.

"Your brothers gonna kill me." He said after we stopped.

"He'll have to kill me first because this is the best day of my life."
