twenty-eight

nick's pov (8:38pm)

"please fasten your seat belts as we are preparing for landing" the speakers announce. 

i wake zach and lauren since they have been sleeping the whole ride. i, on the other hand, couldn't get any sleep due to the crying baby that was beside me. 

"we're landing" i inform them. the nod their heads and we soon feel a bump, signalling that the plane has landed. 

we got out luggages from the overhead bins and we made our way off of the plane and into the airport. we took a seat at some chairs as we waited for my mom to pick us up. 

i soon received a text from my mom. 

mom: hey i am outside gate 12, hurry up

"okay mom texted me and she's at gate 12" i explain. 

i led them to gate 12 while they trailed behind me, still sleepy. lauren was on zach's back as he carried her. her head was laying on his shoulder, her face facing the crook of his neck. 

zach's pov (8:54)

i could feel lauren's breath on the crook of my neck. it tickled but i didn't wanna wake her up. i followed nick as we arrived at gate 12.

we spotted nick's mom in her white car and nick got into the passengers seat as lauren and i stayed in the back. 

lauren's head rested on my shoulder the whole drive. we decided to eat dinner at nick's house and nick would drive me back to my house later on. 

i got out of the car but this time, lauren was fully awake. i left my luggage in the car while lauren and nick both brought theirs in. 

i entered the house and i made my way over to the dining room where the food was. i sat down at the table and lauren followed my actions. 

lauren and i sat on one side and nick and his mom sat on the other. we began taking the food we wanted and eating them.

"so how was tour?" nick's mom asked. "it was amazing.. but these two couldn't stop talking and flirting with each other" nick explained. 

"i said no boys... but zach is okay" she said, making me smile. "mom!" lauren whined. "okay i'm sorry, i'm sorry" she said, laughing. 

the rest of the dinner was spent talking about the tour and what we did. it was a very fun time until my mom texted me telling me to go home. 

"i have to go now.. mom texted me" i said, frowning. "i'll drop you" nick offered. 

i nodded and he led me to his car. he got into the drivers and i got into the passengers. 

"so my sister" nick started, pulling out of his driveway. "what about her?" i ask, trying not to smile. "i know you like her" he stated. "yes i do" i admit. 

"since you're my friend... i approve. but i heard ariel likes you too so watch out" nick said. "so i can ask her out?" i ask, excited. "yes" he mumbled.
