KISS // J.M

Chapter 5

I was walking off stage with the boys. Jack still had his arm around me. We get back there and see Logan waiting for us. His eyes lock with mine.

"Hey Logan, this is the fan we'll be sp-" Jack was about to say, but Logan interrupted.

"You guys chose Chelsea!!" Logan says turning his vlog camera around. I smile.

"Yea! How do you. . .?" The boys' manager comes out and tells them that they have to tend to the girls in the Backstage line. Daniel comes over to me after Jack leaves to go open the line.

"You can walk around with one of us if you want. Since this might be kinda weird fo-" before Daniel can finish his sentence a wave of girls come over to me asking for a picture.

"Omg, it's ChelsOcean!"

"This is literally the best day of my life!"

"Meeting 7 of my idols in one day! I love LA!"

Soon Daniel and I were both swarmed in fans. We were taking pictures and autographing pictures and shirts. Soon I even had my own small crowd around me.

"I guess you do how this works." Daniel said before being dragged away. I laughed at him and he smiled at me. As I was saying hi to fans and signing shirts I felt as though someone was staring at me. I look over and see Jonah staring at me smiling. He catches my eye and quickly turns away. His face turns a light shade of pink. I try to play it off cool, but I can't help, but blush and smile from ear to ear. Was Jonah Marais really looking at me? And smiling?

--Time Skip--

All the backstage fans were gone and me and the boys were all sitting on the two couches that were in the back. I was between Corbyn and Jack and Jonah, Zach, and Daniel were on the other. Logan was standing talking to the boys' manager. We were all talking except for Jonah. I would catch him staring at me and he'd turn away.

"Jonah bro, you haven't even said hi!" Corbyn said. Jonah popped his head up and looked at Corbyn then me.

"H-Hey. . . Chelsea. . ." Jonah awkwardly waved. All four of the boys looked at each other then laughed.

"What's up with you Jonah? You're never this shy." Zach said wiggling his eyebrows.

"I just don't feel well right now." Jonah said, obviously lying.

"Getting, love sick, bro?" Jack asked causing all the boys to laugh. Well all the boys except Jonah. His face got red and he looked away. I felt my cheeks get hot.

"N-no." Jonah stuttered

"Yea right! You're totally gushing over Chelsea." Zach said pointing," Look at your cheeks bro!" Jonah's cheeks were a bright noticeable red.

"Come on guys leave 'em alone!" I somewhat shouted at the guys," If Jonah is blushing, its probably because you guys are embarrassing him."

"Whatever, Jonah's got the hots for you and its noticeable." Corbyn said turning his head towards me.

"I-I'll be right back." Jonah said as he stood and walked out the back door.

"Jonah bro we were just kidding!" Jack said getting off the couch and going after Jonah.

Zach, Corbyn, and Daniel stayed behind. We talked for a little bit until Jack and Jonah came back inside. I looked at him and gave him a small smile and he smiled back.

"Okay Bois! Hope you've gotten to know a little bit about Chelsea, because it is time for you guys' radio show hosted by the famous Chelsea!" All the guys cheered for me including Jonah and I smiled.

"Okay Chels do you know how the radio show goes?" (again dont quote me on these facts)

"From the ones that I have seen first we just do a little talking then we start off with a Q and A afterwards we have a little mini game time. Game chosen by me! Then, we have a guest star, maybe, and then we get to hear the boys sing a little and get some insight on their next song or on activities they're doing." I say inhaling deeply.

"Wow, you know you're stuff." Jack said putting an arm around me. I look over at Jonah and he was looking at Jack's arm around me and frowning.

"What, can we go get some food first? I don't know about you guys but I'm starving." Corbyn asks, all of us agreed. We went out and we all got in a big car that the manager suggest we take instead of the two separate cars. Logan was driving and Daniel was in the passenger side. Jack, Zach, and Corbyn sat in the middle row and that left me and Jonah in the back. . . It was getting kind of awkward, as if it wasn't awkward already, so I asked the guys if I could take an Instagram video.

"Hey guys! So you will not believe this I am with, drum roll please." The boys did a drum roll," Why Don't We!! I turned the camera to the boys and they all shouted. Jonah just smiled," Oh and Logan's here too."

"Wow, thanks Chels!" I post it and tag all the boys and Logan in it. I take a selfie with Jonah and post it on my page and tag him.

With the one and only Jonah going to get some Chipotle! :P @jonahmarais

EthanEric: You're still not gonna date him! Just tbh
User#1: I think I spot a salty Eric
User#2: How are you not dying? You're literally right beside JONAH!
brendannorth: Have Fun, Chels!
User#3: Jonah's blushing WTF?!!

As I was going through the comments and replying to a few, Daniel shouted my name.

"Hm?"

"You're an Instagram Star?!!"All the guys looked at me.

"I guess. I don't really see myself as a star. . .but call it whatever you want."

"Whoa." Zach says looking on his phone. By now all the guys were on their phones following me and looking through my post. I died. All my posts of Jonah! I think most of my post were, 'How is Jonah so good looking? Like WHAT?', but I also think there was also one that said, 'Jonah is so Adorable! I love him so flipping much.' Oh god.

"You seem to be a big fan of Jonah as well." Corbyn said showing me the post that said Jonah looked handsome and adorable. FUuuuuUuUuuUuuuUuudge. I felt my cheeks get hot.

"I-I just think that Jonah is a r-really good singer, is all." I say stuttering a bit.I glance over at Jonah and he was looking at his phone smiling. I could see he was on my page. At least I don't think he thought I was a complete weirdo.

"Sure." Corbyn said winking at me before turning around. As I go through my phone I get a dm. It was from Jonah. I look at him and he gives me a small smile. I check the dm.

Jonah: If it makes you feel any less awkward I like it :)
Me: Really? I would've thought you think I'm a complete weirdo
Jonah: No! I really appreciate. I think you're amazing <3
Jonah: That sounded so weird. . .
Me: Not at all. It makes me feel a lot better that you don't think I'm a crazed fan or something.
Jonah: No, you seem really cool to hang around. I'd like to get to know you more tbh

I look up at Jonah and his cheeks are pink and he's smiling at me. I smile back.

--Time Skip--

We finally got to Chipotle and the group sent Jonah, Corbyn, and I to find a table as we sat and talked a fan came over with her phone and asked for a picture. We were about to get out he booth, but she said just a picture of us. Jonah and Corbyn scoot in and wrap their arms around my shoulder. We all gave full teeth smiles. She took the picture and thanked us.

"Are you and Jonah dating?!" She asked smiling widely. Jonah and I looked at each other.

"U-Um, no we're just friends." Jonah said stuttering. She pouted for a second then went back to smiling

"Well it was nice meeting you guys!" She said waving then going back with her friends

"You too." We all said in unison.
