Nicole's P.O.V.
This little shit woke me up from my peaceful nap. That little shit happens to be the guy whose arms I fell asleep in. I hate being woken up from naps so much. I start acting cranky towards all my friends.
Dan woke me up because we were descending. "Why'd you do that?! I was in the middle of a dream!" I whisper-yelled to Dan.
"Oh, sorry! The plane is going to land soon. I wanted to make sure you'd wake up," he replies, feeling hurt.
"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to lash out at you like that," I say. Dan starts to laugh.
"Hey, I get super cranky when I'm woken up too. I got it," he says. I smile at him. Wow, I fucking love this human being.
We descended and landed at LAX. It was 1:00pm PCT. I was so confused.
"Ashley, how many hours behind are we?" I ask her.
"8, Nicole. You ask me this every year," she replies. I always forget things, including important things like this.
As we walked around the airport, I talked to Phil. He, along with Dan, was adorable. But I don't know, something about Dan just gets me going.
Well... maybe not that way.
Wait, no. I'm lying.
"Nicole, I have a question," Phil whispers. What now?
"Yeah?"
"Do you like Dan?" he asks. I pause in the middle of the airport walkway. I gulp.
Fuck. He knows.
"Um.. yeah. Why do you ask?" I say.
"You seem like you do. You guys would be adorable together!" he claims. I start blushing.
"Wait does he like me?" I ask, hoping that he says yes.
"Can't say."
"Why not?!"
"It's a secret!" Wow what an adorable child.
"Fine. I'll have to find out myself..." I say. "But how do I do that? I mean, I get so nervous talking to him. I can't just scream 'I LIKE YOU!' out of nowhere."
"Somehow I'll help you. You guys deserve to be with each other," he says with a smile.
Phil's P.O.V.
Dan and I were in a taxi. Nicole, Ashley, and Louise all went in a separate one.
"Wait so did you ask her if she liked me?" Dan asks. This feels like high school. Everyone's so worried about who likes who. It's annoying, but hey. Dan is my best friend and Nicole is my newest friend. So I have to deal with it.
"Yes, she does," I say. I've never seen Dan so happy. He had the biggest smile on his face. It was so funny.
"Did you tell her I liked her?" Dan asks. Oh crap.
"No."
"Why?"
"Because you promised!"
"True. Did Nicole ask you to keep that a secret?" Dan looked so serious when saying this.
"No, that's why I'm telling you. Just don't tell her I said anything. She could be upset," I say to Dan. "You need to make a move on this. Not gonna lie, she's adorable. You guys would work so well. I know you've liked her for so long. Just make a move! She's gonna say yes anyway." Not trying to sound conceited here, but I knew I was right. Dan and Nicole are so similar; they have the same interests, same music taste, same personalities. They need to be together. And Dan won't listen to me.
Well, I thought wrong.
"I'm gonna make my move. I just feel more comfortable waiting until I get to know her even more. It's not fair to throw this at her and just surprise her," Dan says. He has a perfectly good point.
I have no clue what will happen in the future with these two.
Nicole's P.O.V.
I'm just laying down in my hotel bed watching TV all alone. Specifically, I'm watching Friends. Don't even fight me on this, it's the best show ever.
I decided it was too hot, and I changed into a crop top. I grabbed my long, black hair and put it up in a ponytail. I was starting to sweat.
Literally the minute I laid back down on my bed, I heard a knock on my hotel door. "ASHLEY! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" I shout. I get up and answer the door, and it's Dan and Phil. "Oh shit, sorry I thought you guys were Ashley. By the way, you knocked on my door when I laid down on my bed. So thanks for that."
"No problem," Dan says. That cheeky little fucker... he's so cute.
"Not that I don't want you guys here, but why are you in my hotel room?" I ask.
"Just wanted to hang out with you," Phil said.
"Um, I'm not that interesting, guys."
"That's not what I think," Dan says. Whoa.
What the fuck?
"Oh, well... um, thanks!" I say. I start to sweat even more, but it's not because of the heat that was previously bothering me. It was because I was really nervous after what Dan said. Why does something like that make me feel so nervous?? Also, the way Dan looked made me start sweating. You might be thinking, Oh, god don't get horny on me here, but I'm not completely and utterly aroused. Just minor. But let me explain. Dan's hair was perfect. It was slightly pushed back. Also, he came in just wearing a black T-shirt and sweatpants. That was enough to turn me on. Just a little. He had slight hobbit hair, probably because he took a shower. And fuck, this feeling I was experiencing was getting worse by the minute. Also my cheeks were turning bright red. I looked like I was gonna be sick.
"Nicole, why are your cheeks so red?" Phil asks, interrupting my little fantasy I was having in my brain.
"Oh.. it's nothing," I say. But Phil gives me this look that says, 'I know exactly what's going on.' Dan, however, seemed clueless to the fact that I was sweating like an animal and so turned on. God I had really overdone it. I know it's weird how my body just overreacted to something so simple like this, but I couldn't help it. My body is still like a teenager's; the simplest things get me going. "I'm gonna go and take a quick shower," I announce. "You guys can stay here if you want to. I'll only be around 10 minutes." I say.
"Sounds good!" Dan says.
I go into the bathroom and turn the shower on. I get undressed and make sure the water was just right, and I step in.
As I'm in the shower, I start thinking about certain things. I started to think about how I embarrassed myself yet again in front of those two. Fuck my life.
But, maybe they understood? I don't know. I'm more worried about Dan than Phil.
Who knows what might happen?
I start singing in the shower, completely oblivious to the fact that Dan and Phil were in my hotel room. But I didn't care.
I was in the middle of singing "The Way You Make Me Feel" by Michael Jackson, when I heard the bathroom door open.

So, I wrote the first awkward moment here! SPOILER FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER: There will be no smut. I'm saying this because I mentioned someone coming into the bathroom while Nicole was showering😂 But maybe there will be smut in the future in this book? Who knows. Thanks for reading! -Tess
