Inevitable

Chapter 53

After that night at the concert everything changed for Jess. Most of the directioners were pissed at management for keeping Zayn and Jess a secret. Management publicly apologized for their misjudgment, explaining that they thought it would be in the bands best interest. Jayn, their ship name has been trending for two weeks now.  They have gotten alot of support from the fans and a little bit of hate here and there. Most of the boys get on twitter telling the fans to be nice or block them and tell them to quit.  Once Jess's mom and brother left, the boys had tons of interviews and radio shows to do, along with concerts every other night. We had about two weeks left here, Jess and I had been hanging around the pool and shopping in LA. We have been spotted out several times but they haven't seen Michael and I yet. I'm kind of glad because I want this to settle in, before we come out. I don't want to bombard everyone this early. They're just getting used to seeing Jayn PDA, I don't think they can handle Michael and I's. It's kind of weird getting asked millions of questions of who I was and seeing Jess and I on the television. Management told both of us that we weren't allowed to answer questions from the paps, not without the boys there.  Knowing one of us, we'd say something we weren't supposed to say. Today, Michael and I have plans, he wants to go shopping for  new outfits for the tour and wants me to help him. I'm not sure how we are supposed to go unnoticed but I'm sure he has that figured out with security. The paps have been on high alert at our hotel following every SUV that leaves through the back. To be honest, I'm a little nervous.

I'm sitting on the bed waiting for Michael to come back from rehearsals. I text Jess, who is out with Zayn, calling most of the attention off of the hotel for us. While I wait for her reply I decide that I should probably get dressed. I pull on a white v-neck, ripped denim shorts and white vans.  I tie a flannel around my waist and grab sunglasses. Michael walks in just as Jess texts me back.

"Hey, Lemme change really quick then we can go." He kisses the top of my head and moves past me.

"Mikey, how are we supposed to go unseen in public? The paps are crawling around this city waiting for a front page story." I run my hands down my face in frustration.

He's changing while thinking things through. "I got it figured out babe, Don't worry. We're not going to get caught."

I groan and fall back onto the bed staring at the ceiling. I'm one of those people that can't just be told that it's going to be fine. I want to know how it's going to fine and how we aren't going to get caught.

"Rhenn, stop stressing." Michael is standing between my legs. He pulls my up by my waist and to his chest. "We're going to be fine. Today is going to be great. Chill out for a minute, take a deep breath and count to ten."

I wrap my arms loosely around his hips and I let a breath out hitting his black t-shirt. I count down from ten and pull away from him. He smiles down at me and pecks my lips. "Better?"

"Mhmm" I nod and lace my fingers between his.

"Good, lets go." He lightly tugs at my hand and reluctantly, I follow him down the hall.

We have arrived in down town LA. We made it out safely from the hotel and into the car without anyone seeing us. We're supposed to meet the rest of 5sos for lunch at 1:00 It's 11:30 now. We have time to hit a couple stores before meeting them.

Gerard parks the car in an underground garage and lets us out. I let go of Michael's hand to put on my sunglasses. We start walking towards the street and he grabs my hand again. I smile to myself at how clingy he can get, I love it.

The sun peaks through the garage and I get goosebumps from the radiating warmth. I exhale and lift my face up to it, when we step on to the street. People stare at Michael and I as we walk down the path to the shops. I grab on to his arm nervously and look up at him. He is grinning from ear to ear. He's doing this on purpose... I'm starting to doubt his plan of not being seen. I turn around to look behind for security but they are walking slowly behind us. Gerard smiles and uses the 'shooing' motion with his hand. They know about it too!? I'm instantly fuming. I see an ally coming up and I push Mikey's side making him stumble into the wall. He looks at me confused.
