Today was the day that I get to meet Neck Deep, I have no idea why I am so nervous yet excited. I don't really even listen to Neck Deep, though I should according to many people. I guess I'm just nervous to get into another relationship. Then again, i might not even like the man. I took a deep breath and started getting ready.
I decided to curl my hair instead of straightening it and my makeup was a little natural since I don't wanna over do it. Ugh, I need to remind myself that this isn't a date. I'm stressing myself out. God dammit, stop thinking.
Before I knew it, it was time to leave. I hop into my Mini Cooper and drive to the venue where Neck Deep was going to preform.
I look out my window to see just Hannah. She looked very excited, oh god.
I hop out of my car and run to Hannah, who wasn't with Parker, but was with someone way more handsome.
"Damn, you and Parker didn't last, huh?" I joke, looking at the both of them.
Hannah laughs, "nah, we are still together. He didn't feel like coming." She paused for a minute. "Oh! This is Ben, the lead singer for Neck Deep."
"Hello," He smiles at me and reaches out to shake my hand. Holy shit, he's british. I can feel my face turning bright red. I reach my hand out and shake his hand.
"oh, hello," I smile widely. "I'm Mackenzie." Hannah gives me a weird look since no one ever calls me by my full name.
"Pleasure to meet you, Mackenzie." Fuck. His smile, his voice, his everything.
"damn you're hot," I accidentally say quietly. shit.
"what," Ben and Hannah said at the same time. Fuck my life.
"holy shit, I-i'm so sorry." I almost started crying.
Bens face turned a little red. "It's okay, Mackenzie." He chuckled. Dammit. I can't fucking- why did I tell him my full name.
"So, Imma leave you two aloneee," Hannah slowly started walking away. NO. this is not good.
"fucking hell," I mumbled under my breath.
"sooo, i heard that Hannah was gonna hook you up with Fil." He sounded a little disappointed.
"haha yeah, but I don't think that'll happen." i laugh my insecurities off.
"well, heres my number," he grabs my phone and adds him as a contact. "let me know if anything happens between you and Fil." He winks and hands me my phone.
"good luck! I'm gonna go find Hannah, see you inside!" He waved goodbye and then I started looking for the misfit of a friend. Lord knows where she went. I decided to text her since I know it'd take 24 hours to find her.
M: where r u????
H: im literally behind u, dumbass :)))
I turn around and was startled by Hannah.
"What the fuck, I looked everywhere!"
"I snuck up on you," she laughed. "so... Fil wants to meet you after the show at Starbucks." Shit.
"will ben be there?" I need to shut my goddamn mouth.
"ummm no?" her eyes lit up. "you have a thing for ben." she gave me an evil smirk.
"pfft, i barely know the kid." i laugh.
"i heard you call him hot." she sighed. I just shake my head and start walking to the venue. The band let us wait in their dressing room.
We walk into the room, the smell of sweat and cologne filled up my nose.
Right as I started to get comfy, someone walks in.
"Fil!" Hannah exclaimes. God dammit. "this is Ken," she smiles. I give him a fake smile and wave.
"Hello," He smiles at me. Nice. "I left my pick so I came to get it," He tells us.
"okay, well, see you at starbucks!" and with that he left. yeah, i like Ben.
"hannah, I don't want to go. You're right. I like him" I blop onto the couch. "but like. i barely know him. help."
Hannah starts laughing, "just go. and then later tell him that youre not interested. not that hard."
"thats the most difficult thing ever." i let out a big sigh.
2 HOURS LATER
Ben and the rest of neck deep walk into the room, all sweaty.
"damn, that was insane!" ben exclaimed and sat next to me. you have to be fucking kidding me.
"we killed it, i think" Dani sprayed himself with cologne.
"so, what did you guys do?" ben asked and looked at me.
"not much, just talked." i smiled for a second and then went back to a plain face. why am i in such a bad mood? Ben just nodded his head.
"well, Mackenzie and I have to go somewhere." She smiled and pulled me up from the couch. noooooo no no.
We went straight to starbucks and waited for Fil, who took forever. Once he arrived, the whole shop filled with awkwardness.
"hey listen," Fil say, frowning. "you seem nice, but i dont think this'll go anywhere"
"oh thank god," his head popped up, confused. "no- i didnt mean it like that but I'm just not ready for anything right now." he smiled at me.
"well, it was great to meet you." he hugged me.
"you too, i'll probably see you again soon." he released and left. thank god.
