In Love With My Best Friend (Billy Unger)

Chapter 28:

After I've caught Adam, I chase him back to Blake. "Don't scare me like that!" I yell. "I found our gate number. It's 24B." He smiles. "I love you and hate you at the same time!" I laugh.

Blake takes the lead and we start walking to the gate. "I'm going to plug my phone in. Our flight boards in an hour." Blake explains. I nod. "You want to go looking around at the shops?" I ask Adam. He nods.

"You've never met Michael in person before right?" I ask Adam again. "No. Have you met him in person?" He asks. "Nope!" I reply, giggling.

"Okay. Pick out your stuffed animal." I tell him. He runs into the little shop and returns minutes later with a stuffed pony. I nod in approval at his choice.

After we've paid, we go to grab lunch.

Blake is happy to see us. He unplugs his phone and gathers our bags. The flight starts boarding and I hand my pass to the flight attendant. "Have a good flight Mrs. Molloy." She smiles. I gag.

"Have a good flight Mr. Molloy." She grins at Blake. He shudders and looks green in the gills.

"They're not married!" Adam exclaims. The lady blushes and mutters a sorry. I grab Adam's hand and we walk away.

Blake finds our seats and Adam demands the window seat. I shake my head and let him have it. The plane starts moving as Adam starts yapping. I agree with whatever he is saying as Blake pulls out his Etch-a-sketch. Adam shuts up for good finally.

The plane takes off and I sigh deeply. Thank god!

We get on the escalator down the stairs. Hello Chicago!

"Where are they?" Blake asks. I point to the circle of bodyguards. "I'm guessing in that circle of security guards holding up a sign that says 'Saphira, Blake, and Adam.'" I say sarcastically.

With Adam leading, we head over to the posse and Kira pops out. "Saph! Blake! Adam! It's so good to see you guys!" She exclaims, wrapping us in a big hug. "CAN'T BREATHE!" Adam shrieks. She relinquishes us. "Let's go to the hotel." She grins, walking us to a passenger van. We sit down and she starts talking.

I rub my eyes as we get to the hotel. Of course it happens to be the same one Billy and I stayed at during the M&G. The only thing different is the 500 girls surrounding it. Ugh!

The guards crowd around us as we walk to the doors. Adam squeezes the life out of my hand. He stars bawling as some mean girl stole his Starchy the Squirrel. Paul, one of 1D's bodyguards, wrestles it out of her hands and gives it back to my hysterical little brother. When we get inside, The lobby is all a twitter.

"It's so big!" Adam, who's eyes have dried, exclaims. Kira giggles at him. "Turn here." She says, steering us to the elevator. The doors open and we step inside. Hm. Fancy elevator music!

We follow Kira like ducklings to the hotel room. "Now beware. Everyone is really hyper since you've arrived." She smiles and knocks on the room door.

It flies open and we are yanked inside. "Guys! You're here!" Niall yells. I blush and look down. Please don't fuss over me. I hate being fussed over!

The connecting door on the side slams open, and the 4 familiar Aussies race in. "Saphira? Is that really you?" Michael asks in shock. "It depends... Are you the real Michael Clifford?" I ask. "Of course I am. It's just. You're really hot in person." He blushes, looking down. "I could say the same." I wink.

Adam tugs on my sleeve. "Oh. Right. Adam, this is my good friend Michael. Michael, these are my brothers, Adam and Blake." I explaim. "Hey there little guy!" Michael explains, kneeling down to Adam's size. I go to hug Luke, Calum, Ashton, Harry, Niall, Liam, Louis, and Zayn.
