Takeoff//e.g.d

II

 After that swift introduction, I closed my laptop and put it back into my bag so I could properly talk to him. I tried my best to avoid saying his name. I didn't want him to know that I knew his name is actually Ethan Grant Dolan. From the corner of my eye I could see Grayson pulling out his phone and calling someone on FaceTime. I turned my attention back to Ethan, or Grant as he called himself.

"So Olivia, where are you headed off to?" His eyes were fixed on my lips awaiting a response.

"Oh Im going to London." excitement was laced into my voice. His face lit up like he had a brilliant idea.

"Oh really? Is it your first time visiting?" "Grant" had a mischievous look in his eye and I had butterflies erupting in my stomach. I felt like I was going to puke.

"Yea it is. Im a little nervous because this is the first time in traveling internationally. Im actually going to meet up with an internet friend i made." i had a huge smile on my face. I looked like a little kid in a candy store. He smiled at me. But not just any smile. He gave me one of his rare teeth smiles. It was breathtaking. We kept talking for what felt like days but I wouldn't trade it for the world. He introduced me to Grayson but of course I already knew who he was but I pretended like I didn't. After a while of us just getting to know each other Ethan gets up to go to the bathroom. I pull out my phone and start to scroll on stan twitter. I retweeted some fan art in hopes that these dweebs would notice the crazy talent that their fans have. As iIwas scrolling through twitter, Grayson got up. I quickly closed the app so he wouldn't see that I'm a fan and I open the messages app to text my best friends Lauren and Bri. They're Dolan twins fans too and know that I'm like 5 feet away from them. Lauren didn't respond she was at work but Bri is always on her phone so i started to snapchat her some pictures of me playing with the filters. Grayson sees my awkward selfies and chuckles next to me. I jump a little, frightened because i didn't know he was sitting next to me. He looks at me and says,

"Its Olivia right?" I stare at him perplexed as to how we knows what my name is. Because I know Ethan and I were not close enough for him to be able to hear our conversation and Ethan didn't even touch his phone. Consumed by curiosity I said to him,

"Yea.. How did you know." Grayson had the same devilish smile as Ethan did earlier. He knew something that I obviously did not. And I was dying to know what it was.

"Well lets just say that I know that you're a fan. So does Ethan. He is in love with your twitter account. He stalks you all the time. But I don't think he's noticed that its actually you" I sat there dumbfounded. I can't believe it. He knew I existed before today. Grayson told me not to tell Ethan and to just pretend that he didn't tell me a thing. Grayson stuck out his pinky and made us lock pinkies. You can never break a pinky promise. So I did was I was told and acted like nothing happened while Ethan went to the bathroom. I guess it was a far walk because it took him like 20 minutes to go. Or maybe he just wasn't feeling well. When Ethan came back he had a cute little smile on his face when he saw me. He sat down and was still smiling at me. It was starting to get a little creepy.

"What?" I said him.

"What what?" He still had the same look on his face but now he was just clearly playing dumb.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" He had a look on his face as if he was going to tell me. But he hesitated. I immediately started to assume the worst. He found out that I was a crazy in love fan. Which is true. But I just hope Grayson didn't expose me. Well I think Ethan its starting to realize that its me. But I don't want to take any chances. He saw the worry in my face and his face softened and he proceeded to tell me why he was acting like that.

"So I don't know if you wanted to or not. But since you were traveling by yourself I figured you would want some company on the plane ride so I asked if you and Grayson could switch seats. Grayson was fine with it. He honestly gets sick of being around me sometimes. and I may have given you a slight upgrade to first class because I know those seats and get comfortable an-" He abruptly stopped when he finally noticed me smiling at him. "I was rambling on wasn't I?" he looked down at his lap like a little kid who got in trouble. I grabbed his chin and lifted his head so he would actually look at me.

"Grant. Thank you. You didn't have to do that. Wait, why did you do it?" My hand was on still holding his face. I found myself lightly stroking his cheek with my thumb. When I realized that I was doing this I quickly snatched my hand away from his face and he slightly frowned at the loss of contact.

"Well....I don't know really. If I'm being completely honest. I just wanted to spend more time with you before we went our separate ways." He looked at me with sad eyes as he mumbled those last few words.

"You know what. Thank you. And who told you that I wasn't going to see you again?" I could feel the childish grin making an appearance on my face again. This seemed to make the fun childish and light-hearted Ethan that I grew to love over the years show. I noticed that Grayson was a little upset. I turned around and asked Ethan if he knew what was wrong and he just shrugged it off and said it was probably his girlfriend. wait. what? girlfriend? GRAYSON BAILEY HAS A GIRLFRIEND?!?!? AND NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT THIS??? Damn these guys are sneaky. I turned around and to ask Ethan another question since we were playing 20 questions for the 3rd time. But as soon as I opened my mouth, I was cut off by the airline lady with a posh English accent saying, "Flight 817 to London will now start boarding". I quickly turned my head to look at Grant with excitement written all over my face. I popped up out of my seat and ran to the line in front of the door. I wanted to be the first person on that plane.

As I wait in the line I feel an arm lay on my shoulder. I look up and I'm not surprised to see its Grant. I smile up at him and continue to wait patiently in the line. As soon as i know it, Im walking through the hallway and into the large plane that will lead me to my first real adventure.
