Round 2 Crew Vibes

Chapter 4: Facetime

(November 2014)

I didn’t hear from any of the guys until the afternoon the next day when I was just finishing off things at work. Pape and Dylan had messaged me on Whatsapp saying that they were stuck at their stopover in Philadelphia, their evening flight had been cancelled so they had to spend the night in a paid hotel. I quickly replied saying I'd chat in a bit as I was nearly done at work anf I could see my boss walking through the corridor, heading to my office through the window. Pape replied after a few minutes saying that they would viber me when I was done. Chloe also messaged me saying that Chase had also messaged her and that they had all gotten really stressed and frustrated at the airline staff. A sudden image of Pape and Kevin getting angry ran through my mind and I nearly burst into laughter, Chloe said she couldn’t imagine any of them angry either.

Beth, my lady boss kindly let me leave 10 minutes early since the big boss Mike left early and she just wanted to have some peace and rest in the office. I took up my coat and bag and took away some free food from the canteen (as always with my fat bum) and left finding signal on the way to the bus-stop to go home.  Pape and Dylan called me through viber as the other two were sorting things out down in the hotel lobby and they wanted to go and buy some food for the rest of them to take back to the hotel for dinner.

“Zoe complained too from London Heathrow as the service staff got rude to her when we were all checking in” Dylan explained the fiasco that started even at the beginning of the journey.
“Oh dear, hopefully you guys will get back by tomorrow, what did your parents say?” I replied taking my oyster out from my bag.
“My mum’s worried I won’t get back in time for my brother’s wrestling game of the season; he’s been training so hard for it.” Pape said.
“Ahhhh that sucks, I’ll be praying for y’all, go get your food now, keep messaging me my bus is here now” I replied.
“Alright braaah, talk later” Dylan said.
“Coolbeans” Pape replied.

When I got home Pape messaged me saying that the Round2 Crew boys were going to do a Ustream this evening as they may not have the chance on tomorrow when they would normally do it due to travelling back home. They told Chloe and I to tune in too

12am London time:
Round2 were already in the States meaning the time zones would change drastically and they would be hours behind our time. This sucked because us London fans would need to stay up late that next morning to watch their Ustreams. Tonight was a good night because I asked for to have the next day off as I had ‘Uni’ but really I was just lazy to get out of bed at 8am and I got 14 days of sick leave, fully paid and this was the first time so I did it. Chloe and I tuned in and Dylan also popped in and out of the camera a few times but he was tired so he just chilled in his bed, talking to Zoe, chloe and I. He was really starting to fall for Zoe and I thought it was waaay to fast so I gave him my best advice: “Expect nothing and you will never be disappointed.”

The Round2 boys announced that they were going to relsease a new EP out within the next month or so and their phones started blowing up with fan tweets, including Chloe and I. The boys carried on Ustreaming for an hour or so and I finish off my English CW due in at the end of the week.
The boys chill afterwards with Chloe and I before Chloe fell asleep because she would have college early in the morning.

“Heeeeey bebehss! I’ma be the first to call it a night, it has been such a long suckish day, goodnight loves!” Kevin raps before jumping into bed with Pape filming him on skype.
Dylan fell asleep next as he was on the phone to Zoe throughout the whole Ustream, they were really so adorable. Chase and Pape stayed up for about an hour more and resorted to skyping us in a hallway of the hotel room as the guys were already fast asleep and Chase said that Dylan gets really cranky when he wants his sleep.

“You guys need to plan to come back to London ASAP” I complained.
“If TeenHoot comes back next year were definitely in, otherwise we will have to start saving like now if we wanted to take a vacay over there” Pape replied smiling with teeth.
“Yeah, it could be cool actually” Chase added.
“Mhmm, you just wanna see Chloe” I winked and Chase laughed nervously.
Pape winked and nudged him
“Chase’s blushing Lex!” Logan added pinching his cheeks.
“Erghhh get offfffff Justin!” Chase huffed then started doing rollie polies down the hall.

The guys were so funny especially at 2am London time. I carried on talking to Pape for another hour after Chase had given up and when to bed after going to the lobby and asking for some extra pillows because he was a weirdo. Pape and I carried on talking and I told him I was surprised because I rarely stay up till 3am in the morning. I turned off my laptop and got into bed as my legs became cold and numb. (Curse you London weather)

“It’s cos I’m special and American” Pape smiled with teeth again.
“Pha! Keep dreaming luv.” I replied tucking myself into bed.
“Oohhh! I forgot to tell you. Zoe might come here in March for a week or two, you and Chloe should totally join her.” Pape said while getting up and walking around the hallway and walking into the lobby. He said he felt like exploring the hotel and he was hungry. Fat boy.
“Serious? That sounds good but I’d have to check with my rents, fingers crossed I’ll be allowed. Chloe might be another story though because of her uni applications and things.” I added rolling over.
“Ahhh your college application process is so damn complicated, the British are so complicated.” Pape said.
“Thanks.” I replied rolling my eyes and laughing.
Pape realised he forgot his wallet in the room so he went all the way up to get it then came back down to make his way to the nearest grocery shop.

“Which?” He said while holding up two different kinds of crisps.
“Ohh wow, so big. The pizza flavour looks good.” I replied, the crisps in the US really were so huge.
“Ya it’s bigger in the US” Pape winked.
“Get losttt” I replied laughing.
We carried on talking on his journey back to the hotel about the US, food, our families and more about Round2.
“Papeeee, I’m about to fall asleep now, talk to you tomorrow? Keep us updated with the travel shenanigans.” I said yawning and turning off my fairy lights.
“Alright Lexy, will do, sleep tight, mwah!” Pape replied walking out of the lift to their hallway and blowing me a kiss quickly before ending the call.
I sent him a kissing emoji on Whatsapp and he replied “Best do.”
