Seeing Double // e.d and g.d

(2)

I turned my head to see who was tapping me on the shoulder. To my surprise, it was one of the cute guys that I liked. I noticed from the corner of my eye that he was staring right at me. He looked so, intrigued, in what I was doing. He started talking to me.

"You look very sunken into that notebook of yours. What are you writing about?" he said. 

"Well, I am journaling all my thoughts and emotions onto this very notebook. My mother back home gave it to me. It was a gift from her. " I told him. 

"Wow, that's a pretty cool hobby. Do you like to write?"

"Yeah... I live for writing. It's so fun and the best part is that you get to use your imagination and write anything you want. I usually like to write books, write poems, and draw. " 

" Oh, that's cool. Maybe I can read one your works next time. Maybe you can be the next John Green or maybe the next Veronica Roth! " He stared straight into my eyes when he said that. It made me kinda blush a little bit. 

"Yeah..... I don't know if I'll be that famous, but you can read some work of mine. If I ever see you again." I said staring at my notebook. Trying to concentrate. 

"Well, we might. We are traveling to the same place, right?" he said questionably. 

" Yea, but we are going there in different cities and for different reasons," I said teasingly. 

"Oh. Your reasons intrigue me. So tell me, why are you coming to LA anyway?" he said in a flirtatious manner. 

"Well... let's just say London wasn't my cup of tea anymore," I said looking at his face. 

"What? Are you crazy? London is a wonderful place to live in. I just don't know why you wouldn't enjoy it over there. I enjoyed it when I was there." He said 

" I get it. It is a wonderful place and all, but it is just my preference. I went through a lot of things back in London. I had to deal with a lot of bullying, grades dropping, and family business. It's just my personal problems that made me not wanna go back." I said turning red. 

 Wow, I can't believe that I said all those things to a guy I just met on an airplane. I didn't even ask anything to him. I don't  know if I could even trust him. But, there is something about him that makes him so easy to talk to. I haven't really opened up to anyone like that before. But, it feels good too. 

"Wow, I'm so sorry. I didn't know what you were going through.  I was just being my selfish self to try to get to know a pretty girl like you. You just intrigued me in some way no other girl does. You are like a code I have to crack you know?" 

Did he just call me pretty? Did he just say "a code I have to crack?" I guess I intrigued him in some way. But, deep down inside he intrigues me too. He makes me feel some type of way that no one else makes me feel.  He is just so mysterious and like he said:  he is a " code I have to crack." I don't know how, but he just is. 

" Oh well, thank you." I said blushing. " I have never been called an intriguing person before. I usually live a boring life.  With no friends and no one who cares about me. " 

" Well, I care about you. You are considered my first London friend. I will do the honor of being your tour guide of beautiful Los Angeles.  Also, I didn't have the chance to catch your name."

" My name is Kylie. How about you?"

"Well Kylie, my name is Ethan Dolan  and that is my twin brother Gr-."

Ethan was paused and I saw his twin brother turn to me

" Well hello, beautiful. My name is Grayson Dolan."

He took my hand and kissed the top of it. His lips felt warm and soft on my hand. I kinda liked it. But I just noticed Ethan watching him kiss my hand.  I looked up at Ethan and I saw him clenching is jaw and staring at his brother in anger. Was he jealous?  Then looked at me with his soft, green puppy eyes. 

" Well, hello Ethan and Grayson. It is so nice to meet my new acquaintances from LA. At least I checked off my bucket list my first task. "Make new friends."

" Well, I'm glad to hear that. And by the way, can I ask you a question?"

" Sure. Ask away Ethan."

" I know this sounds wrong, but can I get your number? Being your friend and all, we all should hang out: me, you, Grayson, and our sister Cameron. Don't worry, I'll introduce you to her."

" That sounds legit. Ok." So I punched my number in his and Grayson's phones and they put theirs in mine. 

We stopped talking after getting each others phone number and we just went back to whatever we were doing. 2 minutes later, the flight attendant spoke on the microphone.

" Attention all passengers. We are about to land at LAX airport. Please put your tables and electronics away and wait patiently, please. Thank you for flying United Airlines. I hope you fly with us again. "

Well, we landed.  Me, Ethan, and Grayson were standing next to get our luggage claim and checked out. 

"Are you ready Kylie?" Ethan said 

"Yea! Let's go mates!" I said
