5SOS - Babysat By Idiots 2

Chapter 58

We got into the car and I sat in the backseat. "How old are you, Nicole?" Asked Michael looking into the car mirror straight at me.

"13," I replied.

"Well when you're 14, you can come sit in the passenger seat," Michael said to me as he put his arm around the back of the passenger seat and looked behind him beginning to reverse out of the driveway.

I held my smile back until Michael wasn't looking behind him anymore. Then when he finished reversing out of the driveway and started driving on the road, a smile formed on my lips. I liked the idea of sitting in the passengers seat.

Michael turned the radio on and guess what song was conveniently playing at the moment. 'Hey, Everybody' by 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER. Michael smiled and said, "Our song's on the radio! Yayyyy!" I laughed.

When we got to the mall, we parked in the parking lot and began to walk towards to the doors.

I could hear music though. A guitar to be specific. Acoustic. I looked around and saw what seemed to be a 14 or 15 year old boy. He was sitting on the side near the wall playing guitar and singing.

Michael pointed him out and said, "Hey, look. There's a boy singing over there. You know him?"

I replied, "Nope." He had brown hair that was quaffed. It was kinda tall.  Kinda like Matt's old hair... but whatever.

He was near the doors of the mall so when me and Michael got closer, the boy saw me.

He said, "Hi, there." My stomach churned. I didn't want to talk to this stranger. But I knew he was talking to me, and no one else, so I didn't want to be rude.

"Hi," I said shyly.

"How are you?" He nicely asked.

"I'm good, thanks," I replied.

Then the boy held out his hand for me to shake. I got closer to him and shook it. Then... he did something super weird... Like, borderline WEIRD. He pulled my hand close to his mouth... AND KISSED IT. HE KISSED MY HAND. While I was acting like I was flattered and shy on the outside, I was pretty creeped out on the inside.

I couldn't see Michael anywhere within my peripheral vision, which meant from the corners of my eyes. He must've been behind me, but I didn't want to look back, because I knew that meant seeing Michael's facial expression. I didn't know if it was going to be like Calum, Ashton, or Luke's which would be an angry expression, or a weirded out expression like the one I was keeping inside.

The boy said, "My name's Beau. What's your name?" First of all, I thought, WHOA. Beau is like, the coolest name in the world. Especially for a guy. And it totally matched his appearance. Might I add, he was still holding my hand.

I replied, "Nicole."

I expected him to say something along the lines of, "Wow. What a beautiful name."

But instead, he said, "Well, Nicole... I just wanted to say that you are by far, one of the prettiest girls I have ever seen before."

I was happy that he said that. I had gotten a bit more comfortable with him holding my hand. I smiled with a little hope that I wasn't blushing at the moment and said, "Well thank you, Beau. That's really nice." Just saying his name felt AMAZING.

"You're welcome, Nicole," said Beau. He kissed my hand once again, but this time, it was a much longer kiss. After kissing it, he let go and I felt calm and really peaceful. I walked away waving and said, "Bye," and he waved back saying, "Bye," too.

I turned around to look at Michael with a small smirk on his face. Not like a teasing smirk, but not a joyful one either. It was like a small smile mixed with a weirded out expression. I knew he'd be weirded out! One of his eyebrows were raised.

We walked into the mall and Michael told me, "That... was very awkward. Don't you think?"

I replied, "Yeah," with a smile on my face. I was so calm, that I almost felt high. High with love and compassion. That boy was so sweet, and I don't think I mentioned this before but he was BORDERLINE CUTE. No joke. I could barely even feel my limbs. I wondered how I knew how to walk.

Michael told me, "He was very sweet... But don't trust him so quickly. Guys aren't always the sweet type. He may seem that way at first, but trust me. He's just trying to butter you up. Take it from me. I know what guys are like and what their intentions are just by looking at them. And his, are not good."

I replied, "Yeah," not really listening to what Michael was saying. I was sort of in a daydream. But all of a sudden, I noticed something. There was a slight second that I gained feeling back in my limbs and noticed that my hand was clenched, almost as if I was holding something.

I furrowed my eyebrows and unclenched my hand to noticed that I was holding a small, folded paper in my hand. Weird. I don't remember having any paper in my hand before.

I looked up at Michael who didn't notice me and was kinda just looking forward and talking.

I opened up the paper and was surprised to see a number on it. I instantly realized what had happened.

Beau slipped his number into my hand while kissing it for a second time! He must've had it in his hand the whole time. How did he do that so subtly without me noticing?

But this put a GIGANTIC smile on my face that Michael didn't even see was there. I clenched the paper back in my hand not wanting to put it in my pocket. I just wanted to hold it forever.

This was great news to me. This could be my chance to finally get over Matt! Beau is my new Matt now!

And to have a boyfriend who has such a slight hand like that would be SUPER COOL!!!! Omg, I think I'm going to have the coolest boyfriend in the world soon.

I noticed that Michael was still talking while we were in the mall, and I still wasn't listening. All I knew was that the ENTIRE time we were at the mall, I was walking around from store to store while he talked to me about guys and how they can be. The main message I knew he was trying to give me was that I wasn't supposed to fall for that boy. But I think it was too late.
