American Girls- A The Wanted Fanfic

Chapter 6: Gold Forever

Where I Stood is by Missy Higgins...

Madi's POV:

"Hey Mads..." said Abi as she walked into the room we were sharing. Taylor, Sydney, and Sierra were sharing the other guest room.

"Oh hey, where were you?" I asked. We left the kitchen to get ready about ten minutes ago and she had just arrived.

"Talking to Nathan."

"Just talking?" I asked, wiggling my eyebrows.

"Yes!" she yelled back defensively. "I apologized for spilling gravy on him, and he said it was fine. That's it." she said a bit calmer.

"Oh okay." I could tell she was lying. Abi is a really bad liar.

"Girls?" I heard Siva call from the hallway.

"Come on in!" I called back.

He walked in and announced that we'd be going in pairs to cover more ground and hopefully get lots of inspiration. I noticed Abi mouth something at him, although I couldn't tell what it was. Siva nodded back at her and said, "Abi's gonna go with Nathan and Madi, you can go with Jay."

1 hour later...

"So Nath and Abi are going to a carnival, Siva and Sierra are going to the art museum, what are we doing, Jay?" I asked him. I honestly didn't care where we went, I just wanted to spend some time with him... Although, I hoped it wasn't going to be anything too fancy. I was just wearing a loose-fitting pink tank top with black capris and pink flats.

"I thought we could just take a walk around town for a little bit. I could tell you a bit about me and the guys ,and you could tell me a bit about you and the girls. You know, everything we need to know if we're gonna live together for a while..."

"Sounds good to me," I answered with a smile.

A while later...

"So you fell on a pile of rubble while singing?" I repeated while laughing.

"Yup. In a crowded room full of professionals and video cameras..." That made me laugh even louder. There were some people reading outside a cafe who shushed us. "Sorry," Jay apologized, but as soon as we were out of hearing range, we started to chuckle again. "Hey, do you want to rest in the park for a bit?" he asked.

"Sure," I responded. He led me over to a bench that was located underneath a shady tree. I admit it was nice to get out  of the sun. "Wanna play twenty questions?" I asked him. He nodded and gestured for me to start. "Okay, um... favorite thing to do in your freetime?"

"Draw, you?"

"Same. I didn't know you drew..."

"Sure do, I can show you a bit when we get back to the house if you want."

"Yeah. Okay, your turn."

He thought for a second, "What's your favorite song by us?"

"Easy, Hi and Low."

"You couldn't have picked a happier one?" he asked before chuckling.

"I picked it because of the fact that it's not happy, it's truthful..." I answered. Of course the truth was that I picked it because Jay sang almost all of it, and he has a beautiful voice. I realized neither of us were talking, so I asked, "What's your favorite song by us?"

"Where I Stood because it's truthful..." he responded, using my words, "When you break up with someone, you act like you're completely over them, but in truth, it's killing you inside."

I nodded. Of course he picked the song that I sang most of...

He coughed awkwardly, "So, um... what were you like in school?"

"Geeky." I said plainly, "I played the violin, I took all advanced classes, I read WAY more than I should have..."

Jay looked at me in surprise."You? A nerd?"

"Um, yeah..."

"If it helps, I was exactly the same. You know, other than the violin part..."

"Really?" I was shocked. I really was. "We would have made a good couple..." I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT JUST CAME OUT OF MY MOUTH!!!

"Oh really?" he said, scooting a bit closer to me. His face was inches from mine when he spoke. "What about now?" he whispered. His breath felt warm on my face. I closed the distance and pressed my lips againt his. I instantly felt him kiss back. I wrapped my arms around his neck as his snaked around my waist. We stayed that way for God knows how long before we both pulled away for air. I acted calm on the outside as I layed my head on his chest and he held me close, but inside, I was screaming like a little school girl.
