Summer Romance

Chapter 3

After some time back on the road, Nat tapped my shoulder.

"Hm?", I murmured and looked at her.

"Soo... they're not gay?", she asked smiling.

"I guess they're not.", I just replied.

"Are you happy about that?", she kept asking.

"Why would I care about that?" She shrugged grinning. "Nat, you're so annoying, you know that, right?"

"I do.", she said and winked at me.

I sighed and shook my head, as Nat pulled one of my earphones out of my ear and listened to Teenage Dream with me.

You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream, the way you turn me on. I can't sleep, let's run away and don't ever look back, don't ever look back

We couldn't help, but quietly started singing along with it. We were trying to keep it down, but apparently, we were loud enough to have Aaron and his friend hear us, because we could hear them chuckle. I blushed and changed the song on my phone. It was Red and Black from the Les Mis movie. And suddenly my eyes widened. I looked between the two seats in front of me at the brown-haired guy with the blue eyes.

Aaron. Aaron? Aaron...

I looked at my phone and the artist of the song.

Aaron Tveit

No. No, that was impossible! I looked at Nat, who had the same expression I had.

"Do you think...?", I whispered.

She nodded without looking at me. "And his friend...?"

"Yep, George Blagden.", she replied whispering.

I gasped for air and looked at them again.

Impossible, but without a doubt. Aaron Tveit was sitting in the row in front of us. He handed me a pain killer and asked if I was okay.

I shook my head slightly, I felt so silly. He's only a human, just a human being like me.

I pulled the other earphone out of Nat's ear and quickly skipped the song.

After some more hours we finally arrived at our hotel in Rome. We all hurried out of the bus and collected our suitcases, before rushing inside to the front desk. I knew everyone just wanted to take a shower and lie down on a comfortable bed.

Nat and I got the keycards for our room and took the elevator to reach the first floor - we were lazy, okay? It was a long bus ride.

Inside our double bedroom, I first unpacked my stuff, while Nat took a shower. Then I took a shower, while she unpacked her stuff.

"Okay and now: let's go to the bar.", she said grinning, after we were finished, then grabbed my hand and pulled me outside our room. We went downstairs to the bar, and both ordered a glass pf wine.

"To our week in Rome!", she said and held up her wine glass.

"To our week in Rome.", I repeated and took a sip.

After some time, we both were a bit tipsy and decided to go back into our room to end the day.

But because I forgot my bag at the bar, I had to go back to get it. I went back to the bar, where the barkeeper was already waiting for me and then walked back to the stairs, when I suddenly bumped into someone.
