On Tour With BTR & Austin Mahone

Chapter 11

Austin and I were sitting on the little couch again, like earlier today. This time not in a hug, but just talking, I explained him what happened. There was a short silence.

"- Austin, can I tell you something?" I can't believe I'm going to do this.

"- Yeah sure.

- I really hope you're not going to think I'm some kind of freak or something.

- I won't.

- You're the only one here that makes me feel comfortable. You're actually the first guy besides my brother I feel comfortable around. Normally I'm really shy and I don't even dare talk to guys, but with you it goes like nothing. I feel like I can be myself around you. And please don't get me wrong, but it's weird to me. New. I don't know why. Maybe because you're the only one about my age here. Maybe because we are obliged to hang around with each other. I don't know." I'm playing with my sweater and look down. I hope he can't see I'm blushing of shame. Probably this was a mistake.

"- I know what you're trying to say. Look, we are not forced to hang out with eachother. If I didn't want to hang out with you, I wouldn't. And I noticed you're shy, but I'm okay with that. I'm happy you can be yourself around me. It's good that I can get to know the real you. Maybe it's me, but I feel like we have some kind of connection and that's why we agree, why we like to hang out with eachother. And I'm happy you admitted that you're a little bit of a Mahomie and don't hang out with me because I'm Austin Mahone.

- Yeah. But I'm not a die hard Mahomie, I don't know every single detail of your life. I love your music and I like to dance on it. You're kind of like my idol for the dancing. Of course for the music too." He laughed.

"- Thank you. But you my lady, are an excellent dancer. I should be the one idolising you." I felt that I was blushing. Was he serious?

"- Really?

- Yes. I saw you earlier today. You were dancing on 'What About Love' better than my dancers and me for sure and when you were on stage with BTR... You got the moves before Logan.

- I can tell you that's not so exceptional." We both had to laugh, because we knew it was the truth.

"- But anyway... will you do me this honor and dance with me?

- Of course I will. What song?

- It's not my purpose to show my ego, but I'd love to dance with you on 'What About Love'.

- Okay.

- If you don't mind, I'm going to stand in front of you, so that I can watch your incredible moves.

- Oh okay." That made me a bit nervous. When he will be like 2 feet away from me, he'll see I'm really bad.

"- Don't be so insecure. You're amazing."

I showed him a smile. I kind of like it to get compliments, especially from a hot guy like Austin. Even though I know I'll never have a shot with him.

He turned up the music and we started dancing. I knew every move, every step... When I dance, I'm in some kind of trance. I smile, I don't care how bad I smell like sweat. I feel happy. I don't care how hard I suck at it, I feel happy. Dancing is the only thing that can make me happy. I'll have to believe I am my mother's slave, they can't be happy either.

I was kind of sad when the song finished.

"- Wow, you are amazing.

- Oh... thank you I guess.

- Stop being so insecure. Why won't you see that you are an incredible dancer and an incredible girl? You're going to get that scolarship!

- Yeah, I'm pretty sure not. Judges are coming at the beginning of January, while we return at the end.

- I promise you that you'll get it. Just believe me.

- Okay." He spontaniously hugged me.

"- Sorry. I thought you could use a hug.

- Don't be sorry. I really needed one." I smiled at him.

"- I have a feeling we are going to be really good friends." Boom, officially friendzoned. But whatever, I won't mind having him as a friend.

"- Yeah. Me too.

- Hey guys, are you coming, we're going back to the hotel, rehearsals are over." his mom came in.

"- Is it okay if I'm coming with you back? I don't want to be in the same bus as my brother.

- You can. If you promise to talk to him if we get back.

- I will." I sighed while picking my bag up from the floor. Together with Austin I walked to his bus. Wow, this one's way better than my brother's.
