Coincidence? - In Stereo

Chapter 8 - DINNER PART 1

"Alright then boys, sounds good. Glad you can make it for dinner with us." Auntie Belinda says.

The girls and the In stereo boys then went back to where they were staying.

"We'll see you soon!" Jakob says to the girls whilst turning his head back around trying to catch up with Ethan and Chris' walking pace. Whilst the boys walked back to where they were staying in complete silence, suddenly Chris interrupts the dead silence and says, "Hey, Jakob. Have I told you yet why we were at the girl's hotel the other night?". Ethan goes red in the face.

"No. I don't think so? Why were we there anyway?"

"Ethan...?" Chris says looking at Ethan in the face waiting for him to say the answer he was looking for.

"Well, Jakob..." Ethan begins. "The reason why we were there the other night was because...." Ethan trails off but picks up his unfinished sentence again. "Because... I really like Alicia!"

"Wait. What! You like Alicia?" Jakob asks Ethan even though he just said that he did.

"Yeah! Is there a problem Jakob?" Ethan asks unsure.

"No. There's no problem." Jakob says. "Anyways, we better get ready. We don't want to be late for dinner!"

Ethan and Chris look at each other with confusion.

Whilst the boys make it up to their room, Jakob is getting ready in his room which leaves Chris and Ethan to have a bit of privacy to themselves. Ethan then starts up a conversation.

"Do you know what's up with Jakob? He was acting strange when I told him that I liked Alicia."

"Yeah! I realised that too!" Chris responds. "He wasn't acting his normal self."

Out of nowhere, Jakob comes out wearing a black suit with a shiny pair of black shoes. He then says, "Are you guys going to get ready soon?" He asks. "We better get going in half an hour. We don't want to miss dinner. I'm starving."

"Yeah, we'll get ready soon!" Ethan says whilst heading to his room to get changed. But before Chris leaves to get ready as well, he waits until Ethan is out of sight and asks Jakob a question.

"Hey Jakob. Are you alright? You didn't look so good when Ethan told you that he liked Alicia earlier." Chris says. "Are you jealous or something?" Chris says with a smirk on his face.

"Who me!? Pffttt. No! I'm not jealous of Ethan liking Alicia. That would be silly. Anyways, I'm never jealous."

"Then why were you acting all weird and stuff?"

"Ok fine." Jakob begins. "I like Alicia too and.." But before Chris lets Jakob finish, Chris adds in and says, "So wait a sec. You like Alicia also?"

"Yes." Jakob says with a sigh. "But please don't tell Ethan about this or else I'll be dead because I know how much he does like her. I heard it in his voice when he told us before. Just please don't tell anyone Chris! Especially Ethan."

"Well the fact of Ethan really liking Alicia is true as he told me how much he cared about her before so.. Ok! We've got a deal!" Chris says whilst shaking Jakob's hand with a tight grip.

"Thank you so much Chris."

"But sooner or later Jakob, Ethan will find out about this."

"Yeah, Yeah, I know. Don't worry about it." Jakob says, "Now you better get ready or we'll be really late for dinner."

Chris giggles, "Oh yeah, I nearly forgot about that!"

The girls are now getting ready in their hotel rooms.

"Hey..." Isabella says, "Do you think I should wear this?" Isabella is wearing a cute dark blue dress with a pair of white wedged heel shoes on.

"Oooo... Someone's looking good." Alanna says.

"That looks so good on you!" Alicia says "Why so dressed up though?"

"Well... I should've told you guys earlier, but.... I Like Jakob!"

A big gasp filled the room with shock and confussion.

"Wait. Hold on a second." Alanna begins, "So all this time you have always liked Jakob and you never told us about this?"

"Well.. Yeah, pretty much. I don't know what I like about him but he's just so cute and sweet." Before actually meeting him, I liked him as he was my favourite in the band but as we have been hanging out with them which still confuses me why we keep bumping into them all the time but anyways, I've really got to see the real side of Jakob Delgado.

"Awwww.. That's so cute Isabella!" Alicia says whilst giving her a hug.

"Well I guess that is cute so I shall give you a hug too!" Alanna says with a big smile on her face.

"Quickly!" Isabella says. "You guys should be getting ready soon. We have to leave in a couple of minutes!"

"Ok. Ok." Alanna and Alicia say.

"Oh. And please don't tell Jakob anything about what I just said to you guys." Isabella says.

"Ok fine. We'll keep it a secrete only between us three." Alanna says.

"But I think Jakob will find out about this soon though..." Alicia says

"Ok whatever. Just get ready now would you!" Isabella says with a sneaky smirk on her face.

The girls see that the boys are already seated at a table. But before they could make their way over, they are interrupted by a waiter.

"Welcome to Stereonator Kitchen! Here are your seats."

The waiter walks the girls over to where Ethan, Jakob and Chris are sitting.

"Hey again!" Alanna says with a laugh.

"Hey!" Chris says with a little giggle.

"You look really beautiful Alicia." Ethan and Jakob say synchronised. Then they both suddenly look at each other in confusion.

"Ummm.. thanks guys!?" Alicia says "You two look good as well in your suits. Actually all three of you look really good in your suits."

"Thanks Alicia!" The boys reply back to her.

Isabella's face flushes red and is confused on why none of the boys compliment on her.

The girls take a seat and the 6 of them just stare at one another across from the table. The waiter suddenly comes over to the table and they are handed over some menus.

 A few minutes later Alanna's Auntie has arrived and takes a seat next to Alanna and Chris.
