ONE SUNSET IN FLORIDA

Chapter 7

CONNOR’S P.O.V

“Morning girls,” James greeted them once they stepped into the studio.  Here we go the last rehearsal before the tour started; including the little show we would have tonight.

“Good morning!”  Samantha replied and came up first to hug us.

“Hey,” Toby smiled at Samantha a little bit different and hugged her.  You could see something between them even with your eyes being covered.  “Hey.” Samantha whispered to my little brother and I just knew here we got a couple already.

“Oh, Sir Tobius, what happened around here?”  Riley wrapped his arm around Toby’s shoulder pointing at him and Samantha.

“Yeah, what, we’re together…”  Toby released Riley’s hand and this time he put his hand on Samantha’s waist.

“HOLY MOLY, GOODNESS!”  The girls cheered up and hugged Samantha one by one, tickling her everywhere. 

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Amanda hugged her best friend so long squeezed one another.  “Told you I wasn’t the one you should worry about.  Instead…” She winked, this time to me.  Oh, I just knew.  By that, I threw my death glare to Toby.  He put his hands arrested.

“When little Toby is trying to help little Connie…”

“Not like this!”  I spoke while smiled so wide trying to look so awkwardly normal.

These lads over here were seriously trying to make me and Amanda blush.  I didn’t want to be here, but I liked to be here.  I liked to be wherever Amanda was.  But, you knew.

Okay, back to the topic, we’re doing the normal rehearsal back to back.  The girls learned their new dance moves.  This time George brought four male dancers to accompany the girls on stage.  I, above my feelings for Amanda, really appreciated their hard works.  They paid so much attention to the choreographer, and already memorized the whole stage acts just in a matter of an hour.  Too perfect harmonization they should do in every line, too much dance moves they should do in a single breathe, but the girls never complained. 

“Tired already?”  I finally started something to Amanda when everybody’s not listening.  Such a coward I knew, but you didn’t know how embarrassing my brother could be when it came to this.

“Nope, we did this pretty much often, like twice a day, so I’m good.  How’s yours, Sir?”  She copied a British accent and for the very first time it didn’t go wrong for me.  No, correction, she already got the perfect British accent.  It just this time she made that sounded ‘too much’, but I still never mind.  Wow.

“Me?  I wasn’t the one who dance all day long and never stop.”  I laughed a bit handing her a bottle of water as she mouthed ‘thank you’.

We were talking about everything.  Like she asked me to go to London next time after the tour, and I thought you could count that as the brightest idea of the year.  Why not? 

“Amanda,” George came up to where we were together taking a break, but with his confused expression.

“Yes?” Amanda noticed George’s weird face and gave him suspicious look.

“Somebody wants to meet you.”

“And who’s that?”

“Um…”

“George?” Emily asked from across the room because once she was talking toThomas.

“Brian.” He answered in a very short way then looked so deep to Amanda.  I threw my sight to Amanda and she’s panting already.

“Can’t you say to him to leave?”  She looked even couldn't blink and breathe.

“Cannot darling, he’s here and…”  Before George could finish his line, I could hear somebody’s punching the wall and screamed everywhere.

“What was that?” Riley joined the conversation.

“Oh Gosh… You’re going to be okay, Amanda.  Promise you.”  Chloe was the closest to her and already giving a hug.

“May I know who this Brian and what he’s doing here, if you don’t mind?”  I asked George because I knew Amanda just too shocked to answer me.

“He’s a psychopath and we won’t let him hurt her again.”  This time Samantha came up to my side and hugged Amanda.  All I did was rubbing Amanda’s back because seriously I didn’t know what happened here.
