Not Scared Of You

Chapter 9

I could feel the awkward tension between Nathan and I on the ride to the airport. I’m also guessing the boys felt it too because it was surprisingly quiet… Then again, it is 4:30 in the morning… “So… Ermm  Krystie, you looking forward to the tour?” Max asked trying to break the silence. “Um yeah!” I said. “Good, ‘cos it’s gonna be E P I C!” Added Tom. I chuckled when the car came to a stop. “Right everyone! We’re here!” Jayne said.

We all got our bags which Big Kev and Martin helped us with and went through the security and all that happy horse shit. Sorry… A bit cranky today. I’m not a morning person! We sat at the gate and patiently waited for our flight to get called. I sat in between Max and Siva with Jay, Nathan and Tom on the other side. Jayne, Kevin and Martin all went to get some food and magazines for the wait. This is going to be a loooong day.

I was getting nudged when I heard our flight was called. I groaned and slowly got up, taking the bag I had along with me. I still don’t know where we’re going, and I don’t really care. I just wanted to sleep! We got on the plane and I got to sit by a window again! Yessssss! I finally got to my seat and attempted to put my bag in the overhead compartment but failed miserably. “Need some help?” The voice chuckled. I kinda froze in my spot but managed to answer him. “Yes please…” I sighed. He put the bag in the overhead compartment and sat next to me.

“Look… about this morning… I’m sorry…” I looked at him. He looked so guilty. “Nath, it’s okay. Why don’t we just forget that it ever happened yeah?” But that’s the thing… I won’t be able to forget. “Yeah. I don’t like this awkwardness between us.” He chuckled. “Me neither.” I smiled. We then started to talk about the most random things ever. We got a few looks from people who overheard our conversations but we didn’t care. It wasn’t long before we took off, and I felt my eyes starting to droop. The last thing I remember seeing is us lifting up into the sky. I felt Nathan kiss my temple. Why did he do that? “Sweet dreams beautiful.” And that was the last thing I heard before I was out cold.

“Krystal. Krystal wake up we’re here.” Nathan nudged me lightly. “Huh? Wha- where are we?” Yeah, I’m a little out of it when I’m THIS tired. “We’re in LA babe.” Nathan chuckled. Babe? Why did he just call me babe? And he didn’t hesitate or anything? Well… I’m not complaining… it’s just that he’s never called me ‘babe’ before. “Oh.. okay” I said while yawning. He chuckled and got my bags for me and walked out of the plane, the hot air hitting my face. We  went through the airport and did all of that baggage claim and stuff and made our way into a hotel.

“Right,Now, room sharing. Two of each will share a room so it will be Max and Tom, Jay and Siva and Nath and Krystal. Is that alright?” everyone agreed and got their key to their rooms. I would have to share a room with Nathan. Once again, not complaining, but it’s just awkward for me now. Being with him on the plane for 10 hours talking to him about anything made me fall for him a bit harder and now I have to share a room with him.. And try not to show any affection. This should be fun…
