Developed Love || Auston Matthews (Completed)

Chapter 18

We made it to Boston safe and sound and we were all checked into our hotel rooms. Babcock requested at Mitch and Auston room together so Steph and I are sharing a room this time around. I was happy about it though, I wouldn't be so lonely this time. What was nice about our hotel is that it had a really bougie steam room and pool area and I knew I'd be spending some time there before we left.

"I want breakfast!" I groaned loudly, falling back onto the comfy bed.

"Let's go get food then! I'm starving too!" Steph exclaimed loudly.

"Let me get dressed!" I laughed.

Technically we were already dressed but a condition of flying on the plane with the boys is that we had to dress formally, I was wearing a tight maroon dress and black pumps, I wasn't about to go out for breakfast in that.

"Yeah me too!" Steph laughed.

I didn't care if I changed in front of her, we've been best friends for years.

I put on high waisted jeans with flat soled thigh high boots and a black oversized dress shirt loosely tucked into my pants. My hair was up in a high pony tail because I didn't feel like doing much with it.

Steph wore straight legged dress pants with black pointy flats and a beige trench coat.

"Hey mitchy!" I heard her answer her phone and have a conversation with Mitch.

When she hung up she announced that the boys would be coming with us. I was fine with it, I'm sure they were hungry too. A few minutes later there was a knock at the door and we let them in.

"You guys changed!" Mitch said in disbelief. He was so weird.

"Yeah we wanted to be comfier, wearing cocktail dresses this early is kind of weird." Steph laughed at him

We ended up going to a nice breakfast place wit hreally good food. It was kind of like we were on a double date, except Auston and I weren't dating.

"Hey Mitch, can you take a picture of us?" Auston handed Mitch his phone and put his arm around my shoulder.

I was taken aback at first but then I cutely smiled for the picture, holding up my morning mimosa.

Steph wanted a picture with me and then she wanted one with her and Mitch and eventually we also got a group shot.

@marner93 tagged you in a photo.

3 Instagram notifications within 10 minutes, I was next to post. Auston posted the picture of me and him. His caption was sweet.

"Brunch with this cutie💝 (plus Steph and Mitch)"

Mitch posted the picture of him and Steph, his caption was funny. "She was drunk after one mimosa, photo creds to my bffs (Y/N) and Auston"

Steph posted the picture of her and I. "She looks sweet and innocent but she forced me to drink alcohol before noon 😅 #bestfriend"

"Aww you guys are so sweet!" I laughed at all of their posts.

I posted the picture of all 4 of us. "Thank god for these 3 or else I wouldn't have made it back to the hotel! #OneMimosaLater..."

"People really want to know if I'm in a relationship." Auston chuckled, scrolling through the comments in his phone

"Oh really?" I asked awkwardly, we weren't officially dating, we were sort of like a couple, I guess...?

"Yeah listen to some of these!" He laughed, "is 'Auston Matthews in a relationship?' Or 'is he cheating on me?!' Or 'who's Austons beautiful new girlfriend?'" He was laughing reading them and I was giggling along with him.

"Oh god, my sister Breyana is blowing up my comments asking who you are." Auston was smiling at me, and I laughed, I knew he had sisters but I never thought they would know about me.

We left brunch with all of our phones blowing up over the cute pictures, but I couldn't get over Austons caption. It was such a sweet little gesture.

Getting back to the hotel we had an entire day to waste.

"Steph let's go to the pool!" I said excitedly, she was down to go so we put on our bikinis and walked down there.

We let the guys know where we were and eventually the entire team was down there. We were having some kind of water splash fight every man for themselves thing. It was a lot of fun but I ended up getting tired of getting water in my eyes and mouth so I walked into the steam room.

I enjoyed being in relaxing atmospheres like this and I enjoyed being able to sweat like that. It was refreshing. I heard the door open but I couldn't see who it was until they got closer.

"Hey." I smiled innocently

"Hey baby." He winked, it was of course, Auston.

We didn't say anything to each other, we sat there in a comfortable silence, enjoying the warmth and relaxation this was giving us.

"It's hot in here!" Auston whined a little.

"Then don't stay in here!" I exclaimed, laughing.

"But I want to be with you!"

I don't know why, but when he said that I almost passed out, my heart started racing and my stomach was filled with butterflies. It felt good to have someone tell me that they wanted to be with me. I haven't felt that feeling in so long, I almost forgot how special it was.

"Then stay with me." I said, leaning my head on his bare shoulder, trying to admire his body.

He wrapped his arm around my waist and kissed my forehead, and then winked at me, with his sly little smirk spreading across his handsome face.
