Lexi's POV

"Hurry up James!" I say, getting more excited by the minute.

I hear him sigh and mumble something about it being too early for this. Like I don't already know.

We enter the airport and go through bag check before finding a seat to wait for Ethan and Grayson.

James rests his head on my shoulder. "I could really use a pinkity drinkity right now."

I laugh and pat his head. "Want me to run to Starbucks while you wait for the boys?"

"You are an actual angel." He says, i'm guessing that's a yes.

I grin and stand up. "Be back soon."

I decide to call Ethan and see if him and Gray want anything. I click the FaceTime button and wait for him to answer.

"Hey babe." Ethan says when it finally connects. He's staring at the camera with a grin.

He looks adorable.

I try to hold in my blush. No we aren't dating, he just likes to call me things like that. I blush. Every. Time. "Hey E, I was just wondering if you and Gray want anything from Starbucks?" I ask, as I enter the coffee shop.

"Yes please!" I hear the distant sound of Grayson's voice in the background, making me laugh.

Ethan rolls his eyes. "Yeah sure, i'll text you what we want."

I nod. "Alright."

"Thanks princess." He smiles at me cheekily.

"You're welcome E." I answer with yet another blush.

We say bye before hanging up.

I order all of our drinks and as i'm waiting for them, I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around to see three girls standing there with big smiles on their faces.

"Can we get a picture?" One of them asks, looking hopeful. I have to hide my shock with a nod. This is the first time i've ever had an encounter with fans on my own.

"Of course!"

I take a picture with all of them, doing a different pose each time.

"Do you mind if I take a picture for snapchat?" I ask, pulling out my phone. They all immediately agree to be in it. I turn the camera around so it's in selfie mode and make sure all three of them are in before snapping a picture. I caption it, 'look who i ran into!!💘'

I give them all a hug before grabbing our drinks that were finally ready and heading back to where they should all be by now.

I spot James on his phone while Grayson and Ethan are talking about something. Since i'm walking up from behind, I decide to try and scare them.

I carefully tip toe over so i'm right behind Ethan's chair and lean down. "Boo." As soon as the word escapes my mouth he jumps in his seat.

"Lexi! You scared the shit out of me!" He complains, while I giggle at the look on his face.

"Sorry." I say, even though i'm clearly not.

I pass them their drinks and take a seat in between James and Ethan.

"You are a life saver." Grayson says, holding onto his coffee like he'd die without it.

I shake my head and drink some of my caramel frappuchino.

Bag check went by faster then we expected so we still have an hour before the flight takes off.

Suddenly I feel an arm wrap around the back of my chair. I turn to look at Ethan as he takes a sip from his drink. Holy crap, his jaw line is amazing.

He glances at me with a smirk and raises an eyebrow, before leaning down to whisper in my ear, "You look beautiful by the way."

His deep voice makes me shiver as I blush. "Thank you." I say back quietly.

He grins. "Lexi and I are gonna go on a snack run, text us if you want anything." Ethan announces out of nowhere before grabbing my hand and pulling me up from the chair.

James wiggles his eyebrows at me so I send him a playful glare. "Have fun you two." He then winks at Ethan, who just rolls his eyes.

As we make our way to one of the shops with snacks we get stopped by multiple fans. I'll admit, it's kind of overwhelming.

"How do you do that?" I ask as the fans walk away.

Ethan looks down at me. "Do what?"

"Talk to all those people without having a panic attack." I exclaim. "Like that's probably not even half of the people you deal with on a daily basis and it was already overwhelming for me."

He chuckles. "Honestly, I do get panicky sometimes, and it is hard to try and cover it up. But to calm myself down, I just think of something that relaxes me." He shrugs.

I look up at him curiously. "Like what?"

"Usually I think of people. My family, friends..." He trails off, suddenly looking hesitant. "But lately...I've thought of you."

My eyes widen and I nervously glance down at my shoes. "Really?"

Ethan grabs my hand and laces our fingers together, making me look back up at him. "Really." He states, smiling down at me.

All of the sudden he begins to lean down. My heart beat quickens. Is he going to kiss me?

Right as our foreheads touch, someone interrupts us.

"Oh my gosh! It's Ethan!"

Ethan let's out a frustrated sigh but puts a smile on his face.

An hour later it's finally time to board the plane.

"I call dibs on sitting next to Lexi!" Ethan practically yells.

James rolls his eyes. "We knew that from the get go honey."

He sends me a wink before walking ahead of us with Grayson.
