Too Much To Tell - Markimash

Chapter 3

The plane landed at around 10:20, and I vlogged when we were leaving the airport. Me and Wade got a taxi to the hotel, and Aaron's hotel was about 5 miles away form ours. I had told Aaron to text me when he had landed, and he was only landing a couple of hours after us, so hopefully it wouldn't be too long. On the way to the hotel, me and Wade chatted about what we could do for the rest of the day, and we decided we might just chill in our room, and go shopping. We might even meet up with Aaron for dinner if we all felt like it.

At the hotel I tweeted a bit, and over the next few days I had scheduled videos so my youtube channel wouldn't be badly affected. A few subscribers wanted to meet me at PAX and that was awesome, I never believed people would want to meet me and take photos with me, it was crazy. The hotel room we had booked had 2 double beds, a bathroom, and a big tv, it was really nice.

Me and Wade hadn't had any breakfast, so by the time it was 12, we were starving. We couldn't be bothered to walk very far to anywhere, so we just went to a subway down the street. While we were sat in subway my phone went off and it was Aaron.

yami: I'm here!x

I texted back;

me: do you think you'll be up for dinner with me and Wade tonight?x

yami: urm yeah okay, I'm only seeing Landan on Saturday and Sunday x

"Aaron's gonna come with us for dinner tonight if that's okay?" I said to Wade, "yeah sure, I think it's great you're hanging out with him after being friends with him on youtube" Wade smiled. I was smiling too but I couldn't stop feeling nervous about how much I was in love with Aaron. I was scared my feelings wouldn't fade, I was scared I would be in love with him for the rest of my life, and I was scared of being alone. Wade noticed my hurt looking face and showed concern, "Mark do you feel ok?" he asked, "yeah, yeah I'm alright, I just, feel, kinda funny" I lied.

I could tell Wade didn't believe me, but he didn't push me to tell him anything, which I was glad about. I knew at some point I would have to tell Wade I loved him, even though I knew it would be really difficult. We'd sat in subway for about half an hour so we decided it was time to leave. "Do you wanna do some shopping for a bit then?" I asked and Wade said yes happily. The streets were full of shops and we went in every one, trying on clothes and laughing at silly ones. By the end of the trip I'd bought a couple of t-shirts and a new jumper, and Wade had bought a new jumper too.

I really enjoyed the shopping trip but it tired me out, and the flight had tired me out since I been up from half 4. When me and Wade had got back to the hotel I had a nap and Wade was on the phone to Molly, his long term girlfriend. I slept for quite a while before Wade woke me and up and said Aaron had texted me. I picked up my phone and I looked at the message,

yami : I was thinking of coming to your hotel at like 6? is that ok?x

It was half 5, half an hour was enough time to get ready, I texted back saying it was okay, then I got up and I went for a shower.

I wanted to look kind of nice, but I didn't want to go over the top, so I put on standard jeans, and a t-shirt that I'd brought with me from Cincinnati. Throughout my life I've always felt insecure about the way I look, and today was one of those days where I felt really self concsious, because I was meeting someone who I'd fallen in love with. I felt kinda shaky but I knew I was just being stupid and tried to shake off all the negative thoughts.

Aaron knew how to get to the hotel because we'd discussed it on the phone earlier, when he was near us, me and Wade would go down to reception to meet him. I was so nervous, I couldn't even talk to Wade about it. Aaron said he was nearly at the hotel a little bit after 6, so we went down to the ground floor and waited. I saw Aaron walking towards the hotel and I walked towards the entrance. I'd suddenly got really excited and I almost ran towards him and hugged him, "markimash unites!" I joked and Aaron laughed, his laugh was even cuter in person. I let go and smiled at him, "it feels good to finally meet you Mark!" Aaron exclaimed, and I noticed Wade smiling at us.

We stood outside the hotel for a while, just talking. "How was your journey?" I asked as all 3 of us begain walking down the sidewalk, "yeah it was fairly good, I watched a movie and mostly listened to music, I'm feeling quite tired now though" he paused for a minute before continuing, "I'm so hungry". I laughed and we continued walking. We'd been looking out for any restaurants we fancied, but none looked that good.

Eventually we came across a nice, quiet looking place, that sold all kinds of food. We decided to walk in and we were seated upstairs in a room with one other couple. The waiter came round and asked us what drinks we wanted, and we all asked for a beer. While we were choosing what meals to have, it suddenly occurred to me that I hadn't introduced Wade properly.

"Anyway Aaron this is Wade who is basically my best friend, and I just thought I'd introduce you." I said and Wade and Aaron shook hands, "don't worry Aaron I know lots about you, Mark talks about you a lot!" Wade joked, "Hey! Just 'cause you want a friend from Britain land!" I laughed, even though I felt secretly embarrassed at what Wade had said.

"Mark, you're gonna come to eurogamer next year right?" Aaron asked, "it's just I wanted to show you off to all my friends" he teased. "Yeah probably" I said, "but I'm definitely coming to London comic con if you wanna go to that with me?" I asked hopefully. "Yeah man of course, if you need a place to stay in England just stay at mine", "thanks!" I exclaimed and then we all ordered our food.

I thought about staying at Aaron's, and then I thought about how awkward it could be. It could also be good though, because we could have a heart to heart. I knew Jess would probably be there, and that would break my heart, but I was hoping she wouldn't be around 24/7. I hadn't spoken in a while because I had been focused on staying at Aaron's. Wade and Aaron were talking while we were waiting for the food. It was only a few minutes before the waiter brought it.

I was having a steak and fries, Aaron was having Mussels and Wade was having a pasta dish. A couple of times Wade and Aaron stole some of my fries, which was kinda funny, and for most of the dinner it was quite fun. I was actually really enjoying spending time with Aaron, but I could only worry about the feeling of my feelings developing. "So are you gonna meet up with Landan and stuff tomorrow?" I asked, "yeah," Aaron replied, "you can hang around with us, it'll be fun, and no one will get left out because it's a big group." he suggested. Me and Wade looked at each other and I shrugged, "sounds good" Wade said and I nodded, "yeah sure".

I was so happy I could spend the day with Aaron tomorrow, it was what I had been hoping for. I was smiling for the rest of the night, but I knew deep down that if I didn't get over my feelings for Aaron I would be sad for a long time.
