Perfect Timing A.I.

2.

They were there in front of us, staring. I couldn't move, I think I was too shy.

«Hi! » I heard Mari tell them. All I could do was smile. I'm sure I looked like a complete fool.

«Hi girls! How are you? » It was Calum. I could see him walk to us and put his hand out for us to shake.

«Marissa. » My friend said as she shook his hand.

«I am doing fine and you? »

«I'm fine too. » He smiled.  He looked really cute when he smiled.

«And you are? » He asked me after he turned to me.

«Au-Audrey. » I stuttered. Holy crap, what was happening to me? I never stutter. Why was I acting like this in front of them? I dreamed about this for 6 freaking months and now there I was, looking like a fool. I saw him putting his hand out to shake mine. It took me couple of minutes to understand and I finally did it after. His skin was soft.

«Nice to meet you too girls. » Calum smiled at us.

I felt Mari hit me with her elbow. I think she wanted me to relax a bit. I guess I looked like I was going to pass out. I closed my eyes for a few seconds and I tried to calm down. I felt more relax. I kept reminding myself they were normal person like Marissa and me, and that helped. When I opened my eyes, I could see the other guys do the same as Calum. Luke was next. And damn he was so tall. I had to lift my chin. I was not that small, but he was very tall, like almost a giant. He did look more handsome in real and his smile was so bright. He greeted us with a smile and we introduced ourselves and shook his hand. Michael came to meet us after. I could see Mari getting a bit nervous next to me and I gave her a smile.

«Hey! I'm Michael. » He said as he came to us with a smile on his face.

«Audrey. I'm glad to see you. » I said first, more confident now. I put my hand in front of me for him to shake, but he came closer to me and pulled me into a hug. I have to say it did feel great. People were right when they said Michael's hugs were the best. It didn't feel awkward at all, it felt natural. I hugged him back and smiled at him when he pushed me back. 

«Nice to meet you Audrey. » He then went to Mari and pulled her into a hug too. I could see how much she enjoyed it when she closed her eyes and hugged him back really quick.

«I'm Marissa. » I heard her say, her face almost crushed in Michael's chest. As they separated from their hug, I saw Ashton walking to us with a big smile.

And here we were. Actually, here he was. Damn crap, he looked so freaking gorgeous. He was taller than I thought he would be next to me. And his eyes were so green and his smile so bright. I could feel my heart rates starting to accelerate and I tried to focus so I didn't go back to my stuttering self. I had be perfect, make a good impression. I felt a smile grow bigger and bigger on my face as he approached me.

«Hi, I'm Audrey. » I told him. I once again put my hand in front of me and he took it immediately. Wow, his hands were really big. People were right to call him Mr. Big Hands. Ok, mine were so freaking small, it didn't help. His skin was really soft and warm. I already liked the feeling of our hands holding.

Why was I thinking about those stuffs now? It's not like I had a chance with him or something. Stupid scenarios. They put my hopes real high in my head. And him being that hotty guy in front of me didn't help my mind to forget about them.

«Ashton, but I think you already know that. » He giggled. Gosh, I loved that sound. It only made me smile even more. I kept looking at him, and our hands were still holding each others. I looked at Marissa from the corner of my eyes, and I saw she was hugging Michael once again.

«This is my friend Marissa. » I told Ashton, pointing at her and Michael. He laughed a bit at them.

«Mike does like to hug a lot, I think he found someone who does too. » He said. «Come and sit with us. »

I let go of his hand and walked to the couch in the middle of the dressing room. I sat on it, next to Calum. I saw Mari getting away from Michael and shaking Ashton's hand before she came to sit next to me.

«Want a beer? » Luke asked. We both agreed.

***

We drank a few beers with the boys and got to know them a bit.

«Do you guys have any girlfriends? » I finally asked after a while. I could feel they kind of trusted us to ask this question and I guessed they would answer it.

«I've been with Arielle for more than a year. » Luke answered.

«Michael, Ashton and I are single. » Calum added.

«How about you girls? »

«We're both single. » I answered.

We talked with them for a while. They were very friendly. And then their security guy, Dave, came in the dressing room to tell us we needed to leave. We said our goodbyes to the boys and gave them all a hug. Mari and Michael hugged for a little while again, and I did it with Ashton. As soon as he wrapped his arms around me, I felt good. I held him tight. And gosh, he smelled so good. I could smell his cologne and it smelt like Hugo Boss or something. A manly cologne. I loved that! After couple of minutes, we stopped our hug and left the room, waving one last time to the boys.
