The Boy with the Vans

Chapter 9

-Aaron POV-

I see her emerge through the door laughing along with Mel. She spots me and smiles while looking down at her shoes.

I wave her over as she comes and crouches down next to the pool.

"Soooo?" I ask impatiently.

"Yes I can tour with you guys." she says nodding.

I felt so happy I dragged her into the pool, her screaming afterwards.

"AARON BRAYDEN CARPENTER YOU DID NOT JUST DO THAT." she screams with her eyes closed.

I laugh at the thought of her saying my full name. I could get used to this..

I help her out of the pool and wrap a towel around her, hugging her from the back.

She sits down on a chair and looks at me with her beautiful eyes.

"So where did we leave off?" she asks biting her lip.

"I don't know, we don't even know each others favorite colors which is sad." I say frowning.

She giggles. "Well I happen to love the color sea green."

"That's cool." I say smirking.

"Wanna go somewhere else?" she says looking at me.

"Sure." I say looking around. I noticed Mel and Taylor having a splash war.

As we were walking down the hallway I ask, "So Mel and Taylor, huh?".

"She has a huge place in her heart for him. I ship that boat." she says smiling.

"Ship that boat?" I give her a puzzled look.

"You know, when you 'ship' two people together, you want them together, I want their 'ship' to float meaning I think they should date." she explains in her smart tone.

"Well Miss Smarty, thanks for the information." I say putting my arm around her.

She leans into me resting her head on my shoulder as we walk down the hallway..

-Iris POV-

We go up the elevator in silence, me occasionally looking over at him. He smiles when he notices me quickly turn my head away.

"So... Magcon." I say breaking the awkward tension.

"Yep. Where I gained my other brothers." he says chuckling.

"Looks like I have some more brothers and a boyfriend on crew." I say sticking my tongue out.

"Boyfriend?" he asks questionably.

"You silly." I say pecking at his cheek.

"Oh, right." he blushes.

"If that's alright with you...?" I question looking down at our intertwined fingers.

"Obviously! I mean what's not to love about you." he grins.

Oh gosh I feel it. The heat in my cheeks starts to show as he laughs.

The elevator finally dinged on our floor and I stepped out first dragging Aaron along with me.

"So what do you want to do?" I question, my smile never going away.

"I guess I haven't been on Instagram for a while, mind taking a quick selfie?" he does a white girl pose waiting for a response making me stifle a laugh.

"But of course" I say in a snotty accent.

He takes out his phone and I stare into the camera, ready to feel the wrath of Aaron's diehard fans.
