Fake Tan|19

It was today we would leave Los Angeles. We were currently walking towards Jonah's parents, who are waiting on us for lunch. We have a flight at 6 at noon. So we can be home in New York at 12 at night. The dress I'm wearing, it's one Jonah bought for me this morning when we went shopping. It's a yellow flower wrapped dress, tight around my waist, but loose around my thighs. The tan I got over the days is insanely dark. Combined with the yellow dress is beautiful. Jonah's words, not mine.

"Jonah told me your past relationship wasn't really healthy" His mom says and I immediately feel Jonah tense up next to me. It's just the three of us in the kitchen.
"Mom! Why would you bring it up like that!" Jonah hisses at his mom, but she doesn't give her son a single damn.
"His name is Archie, and yes, it wasn't nice. Everything was superficial, not passionate and meaningless. Sadly enough I only saw that when we already broke up, I was too naive back then" I smile to her, taking a sip of the tea Esther made for me.
"I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm very glad you met my son, you're wonderful sweetheart" She grabs my hands and scrunches up her nose. I giggle and feel I'm getting pulled into a chest.
"Let's get lunch and head to the airport" Jonah says and he pushes me towards the livingroom.

We have said goodbye to Jonah's family. The boys drive us to LAX to say goodbye there. As we step out of the car, I feel an urge to light up a cigarette. It's been a whole week now since I last smoked. In my breaks at work, it's the only thing me and Aubree do. I did bring them with me, in case of. Never knew that I forgot about them being in my purse for a whole ass week. Jonah and his good matters are affecting me goodly. We step out of the car, Corbyn also taking his stuff out. Oh fuck! I forgot he's going with us! I do smiles sweetly as he offers me to help with my luggage. As the three of us are packed, we walk to the airport and suddenly girl are rushing over towards us. Well, mostly Daniel and Jack but there are a lot of them.
"Stay calm, you don't need to stress" Jonah whispers as I feel i'm grasping on to his hand. The girls ask pictures and when they notice me, i'm getting bombarded in questions. I honestly forget Jonah was famous before dating someone normal as me. As they notice me and Jonah holding hands, they let out small screams and Jack notices i'm getting uncomfortable. Sorry but i'm not used to girls screaming at my man.
"Let's all get some coffee, shall we?" Jack offers, winking into my direction. I let out a sigh of relief, mouthing a thank you. Jonah's hand find its way to my lower back.

"Why did you get all shy suddenly, you're definitely not a shy person!" Corbyn says as we all sit, uncomfortable by all the luggage, in a cafeteria at the airport.
"I was just really living in the moment, and for a good second I forgot you guys are famous. I'm so dumb!" I laugh.
"That isn't wrong" Zach mutters and I give him a blank stare.
"You know i'm going to miss you the most out of everyone, you're my favorite band member" I say and smirk as I look down. I hear a yes coming from Zach, but gasps from the other boys.
"Excuse me! I thought I was your favorite member?" Jack says hurt. I giggle lowly and take a playful bite out of my muffin.
"And by the way, you guys aren't even a band anymore" I scoff but I only hear silence. As I look up, I look at five boys with there mouths whide open.
"That hurts!" Corbyn snickers and I laugh out loudly. Jonah's hand rests on my thigh and I blush at the feeling of him thumb rubbing from side to side on my bare leg.
"Shall we get going, we also need to board and stuff" Corbyn muffles, quickly pushing his whole sandwich into his mouth. We nod and while struggling, we make it to the gate.

"I hope to see you again very soon" Jack says politely as we pull back from a hug.
"Same though" Daniel smiles as I get pulled into his chest. As I look over at Zach, we both start a dramatic scene. We start fake crying but we both can't hold back our laughter. I burst out in his arms and we both laugh our asses off.
"Those two together are weird bro!" Corbyn points out to Jonah, who only snickers at the sight.
"Both a bit too childish for being called a grown up" Jonah scoffs with a giggle.

"Close your eyes Rub, time will pass quicker" Jonah whispers as the three of us sit down in the plane. I snuggle up to his side and smile as I close my eyes, feeling his arm creep around my waist.

"You're back! How did Los Angeles treated you?" Austin asks when I wrap my apron around my waist. I smile sarcastically to his way.
"Don't you see this tan Austin?" I squeal and he scoffs.
"Is it fake?" He jokes.
"No, Jonah doesn't like girls with fake tan" I say and feel my cheeks warm up. That's one of the lines out of his songs.
"Well anyways, I'm glad you're back! I'm planning on letting you go around six" He mumbles but the only thing I hear is that I can have dinner with Jonah. And Corbyn. I nod smallish in his direction, maybe if he sees i'm exploding of happiness, he won't let me go.

"Break. Outside. Now!" Aubree signs to me, throwing her pack of cigarettes on the table. I obey and throw my apron on a chair. We practically run through the kitchen, opening the door that leads to the back of the building. Aubree throws me a cigarette. It's becoming warmer by the day here. Spring is making place for the summer. So I only stand in just my basic mom jeans with a short top. My face is sweaty because of the foggy kitchen and heating restaurant. If we would turn down the temperature a little more, it would be more bearable for us waitresses to run through the place.
"So you guys are official now?" Aubree says as she glances over to me. I nod repeatedly and smile widely.
"Yes we are, and we had sex, twice!" I shriek and Aubree lets out a soft yell.
"The first time on a roof with millions of stars, and the next morning in the shower!" I whine and Aubree gasps.
"That's hella romantic! I want myself a man like that!" Aubree cries and I laugh. I did get lucky with Jonah.
"A man like what?" We suddenly hear next to us and Jonah walks towards us with Corbyn. I immediately feel his eyes drop at my hand that's holding the cigarette but he doesn't say anything about it. Wow! Didn't know smoking in front of your boyfriend could be this depressing and uncomfortable.
"A man like you!" I smile and drop the cigarette on the floor. My hands wrap around his neck and he smiles down at me sweetly.
"You should stop doing that" He whispers. I frown and roll my eyes, immediately pulling my hands back to myself.
"Who's this?" Corbyn asks, just changing the subject.
"This is my best friend Aubree, Aubree this is Corbyn, Jonah's best friend!" I smile as they shake hands. There it is! The lipbite Aubree is famous about! Jonah also notices and coughs loudly.
"We were getting groceries for tonight, how about you guys coming over at my place to have dinner?" Jonah smiles and looks at Aubree. But she shakes her hate.
"Date night" She smirks and Jonah nods in understanding.
"But I would love to have dinner with you guys, I'll be there" I smile and snuggle closer to Jonah.
"Okay, see you in about an hour then!" He kisses my lips and I hum against his. He graps my butt eagerly and presses his lips a little bit harder.
"Let's have sex in your kitchen tonight" He whispers barely inaudible for me but as I hear him grunt softly after, I know what he means.
"Stop Jonah, we'll never leave if it depends on you!" Corbyn whines, feeling a leak of attention.
"I love you too Corbyn!" I laugh and get out of Jonah's grip to plant a kiss on Corbyns cheek.
"You haven't told me you loved me, and now you're telling him?" Jonah jokes and I give him a stare.
"You'll have to earn my Love you's" I say grinning deeply, and Jonah shoots his head back.
"Don't try my Ruby, you don't know what I'm capable of!" He smirks and bites his bottomlip.
"Ugh, gross! I'm back inside, nice to meet you Corbyn" Aubree smiles sarcastically in my and Jonah's way and winks at Corbyn. She didn't forgot her date, did she?
