Not Likely

Chapter 25

The question echoes in my mind, what should I say? I remember about how Josh never seems to hide the fact we're dating...

"I actually am." I smile. I feel my cheeks blush.

"Would you mind telling us?" She laughs, but I can tell she is not pressuring me to answer.

"Well, you might know him. I think he has been on here before...." I trail off.

"Josh Hutcherson" I smile.

"Yeah, he was on here not that long ago, for Journey 2." she smiles. But something about her response tells me that she was hoping for someone more glamorous.

"He seems very nice." she smiles. "But while we are on the subject, I hear you are friends with Taylor Swift?" she asks, and I'm glad she changed the subject.

"Yeah, Taylor and I are really good friends." I nod.

"Where did y'all meet?"

"We met at some sort of convention. It was a while back." I beam.

"And I know that Taylor and Selena Gomez are friends, right?" she asks as I see one of the camera men make the signal to wrap it up.

"Yeah, they are."

"Are you and Selena friends?" she questions.

"Yeah, we're friends too. We get along great, but when you get all three of us together....it's bad." I laugh.

It's true though. I have met Selena, she's very nice. Taylor, Selena, and I are sort of like best friends. We are usually all seen together. But even though Selena doesn't know this, and I'm not about to share it with the world, I think I like Taylor a bit better. She is more like me and thinks like me a bit more than Selena.

"We have to take a break, but when we come back...Emma will preform for us!"

We then go to commercial. I go back stage and Melissa puts me in a 'preforming dress'. Which is a shorter, deep blue, dress. It's decorated with little sparkles and diamonds. It's really pretty! I hop back on stage and preform one of my most popular songs 'Pop Your Bubble'. The crowd goes crazy after I'm done, and then Ellen thanks me and I leave.

It was a lot of fun! My first interview AND live performance! And the Ellen show was great publicity.

Later that night, my family came over for dinner and we talked a lot. But I'm still avoiding talking about Josh. Since he is coming back tomorrow, I figure that he can introduce himself to my family instead of me introducing him. Like I did his.

I go to sleep and wake up early the next morning to go pick up Josh from the airport. I just throw on some yoga pants and a lose shirt. Then head out. I drive to airport, about an hour away, then wait by the escalators. It feels like forever since I've seen Josh. And even longer that I've been standing here waiting for him. Seriously, where is he? While I'm waiting, I start thinking about what Josh said about us on his press tour. I mean, someone must have asked him if he was in a relationship! What did he tell them? Right as the thought creeps in my mind, I see a man come down the escalator in a leather jacket, sunglasses, and a red Cubs hat. Josh.

We both smile as we see each other for the first time in 4 months. I walk up to him and he pulls my waist in to his. Then kisses me. I put my arms around his neck and I feel him smile. He tries to deepen the kiss, but I pull away....trying not to make a seen in the middle of the airport.
