We Were Meant To Fly

Ch. 5- All Good Things Must Come to an End

When we got there I was shocked. "I thought you said we were going to your apartment..." I trailed off at the questioning look I got from Max and Tom.

Nathan just grinned and responded, "We are, now come with me." The guys began laughing and making jokes about the "lovebirds". That was fine by me, but I saw Nathan turning red so I turned around and looked at Max who had made the last remark.

"Max," I said sweetly, earning a surprised look from Nathan, "why don't you shut up? Now." Nathan gave me a smile and a wink and it was Max's turn to turn bright red. Tom, Siva, and Jay started laughing. Not really sure where my burst of courage came from, I began to blush as well. We walked up to my floor, and I knew I had told Nathan my address, but I hadn't told him the floor or apartment number. We walked right to my door and as I began to turn to the others to ask what was going on, Nathan stuck his keys into the door across the hall from mine. "Oh," I said laughing, "that's why you looked so pleased when I told you my address!" We walked into his apartment.

"Speaking of which, where's your apartment?" said Nathan. The catcalls and whistles started and I turned red thinking of what would happen when I told him where I lived.

I took a deep breath and said, "Why don't I show you really fast, and if you want we'll come back here," I said taking his hand and leading him back into the hall, shutting their door behind me. "Ready?" He grinned, "Cover your eyes and I'll take you." With that I walked him across the narrow hall and said, "Open."

"Oh! Seriously? You live across from us," he said with his cute smile spreading across his gorgeous face. Emma, cut it out. He's a famous boy in a famous band. You're... you're just plain you. "You are quite amazing, you know that, right."

I blushed and he leaned forward, as if to kiss me. When he was an inch away from my face, his apartment's door opened and all you could hear was kissing noises and,

"Our baby Nath's got a girlfriend!"

"Kissy-kissy-kiss!"

"Ah... young love!" I was annoyed. No, I was pissed.

Nathan gave me an apologetic look, turned around and shouted, "Oi! Idiots. Get your butts back inside and STOP WATCHING THROUGH THE PEEP HOLE!" The boys giggled like school girls and shut the door. Nathan took me down the hall a ways and said, "Sorry about them, they're complete idiots. Now, before they come out into the hall and interrupt us by looking for us and annoying us again," his speech was abnormally fast, "would you be my girlfriend?"

I nodded. I was too shocked for words and he led me back to my door. "Night," I said giving him a hug.

"Night," he said hugging me back as the boys burst into the hallway.

"Come on, let's find... Oh... hiya," Siva said with his strong Irish accent. I giggled.

"See you soon Nath," I said giving him another hug and walking into my apartment, shutting the door, and seeing my mother half-asleep on the couch; waiting for me. "Mom," I said gently, "I'm home now."

"Where were you? I was so worried," she said, wide awake now.

"Sorry, some things happened. I better explain now. You know how you've always said I was crazy for falling for a guy in a band that I never would meet?" She nodded.

"I'm right too you know. Maybe you shouldn't have gone to that concert..."

"I was escorted to the back by security," her eyes widened, "turned out it was The Wanted's dressing room," her eyes were wide and her mouth was forming a perfect, "o". "Nathan saw me in the crowd and wanted to meet me, my friends then left thinking that security was coming for them. The boys gave me a ride home." I decided to leave the fact that Nathan and I were dating until tomorrow. That and the fact that he lived across the hall.

"I heard you talking to our neighbors. I heard they were coming back today for a while, but I haven't seen them. Are they nice?" Well there went my secret.

"Mom, The Wanted live across the hall from us. They are our neighbors."

"Oh. Yeah. That would explain it," she began walking to her room, "night sweetie, and I know you now have a boyfriend, so don't try to keep things from me. Love you!"

"Love you too mom." I said groaning. I got ready for bed and saw that I had a new text.

To: Emma

Hey Emma. It's Nath. I miss you already. xx

I didn't want the night to be over; oh well; all good things must come to an end. I smiled as I fell into a peaceful sleep.
