You Had Me At Hello

Chapter 4

"Shut up, Alan!" I pushed him forward. "Or at least try not to be so loud."

Alan started to sing. "Oh god this can't get much worse..", I said to myself. But as I looked behind me, I knew it could. Austin leaned against the wall and let himself glide on to the floor. He didn't look good. It was 4am and both were totally drunk. I remembered Phil asked me if I could handle it to bring them back to the hotel alone. The other boys wanted to stay a little bit longer. "Yes of course I can.", I said. Well, it was more difficult to take care for two drunk guys than for a group of hyper active kids.

"Wait Alan...". I turned around, walked over to Austin and knelt me down in front of him. "Hey, are you okay?" He nodded. "Okay, I'll bring Alan into his room and then I come back to help you." Austin nodded again. I got up and grabbed Alan at his jacket. We went to his room, while I tried to calm him down. "Please, Alan! Be quiet."

Alan grinned at me as he turned around. "I am quiet.", he almost screamed. I was afraid that we were going to be kicked out of the hotel because of the trouble we made. It took forever for Alan to find his room card. And a little bit more to open the door. Finally he went in his room and before I followed him, I took a look over my shoulder. Austin waved at me and I had to laugh.

Alan walked straight to his bed and let himself fall down. "Oh god.", he spoke into his pillow. "I'll never drink again."

"Sure, Alan!", I laughed and took his shoes off. "Wait here, I'll get some water and pain killers for tomorrow."

I want in the bathroom to fill up a glass with water. As I got back I heard Alan already snorring. "Oh Alan", I whispered to myself and smiled. After I covered him with a blanket, I turned off the light and left the room.

"I've missed you!", Austin yelled from beside the elevator. God damn, I got nearly a heartattack. I walked up to him.

"Please be quiet.", I begged. He laughed and leaned his head against the wall.

"Chill down, Hannah." His voice was screatchier than usual. It sounded sexy, but I tried to push that thought by side.

"C'mon, get up Austin."

"No!"

I sighed. "Please get up. I'm tired and I want to go to bed."

"Phil has my room card."

"Phil has what?!" I hoped that I just didn't understand him right.

"My room card.", he said again and laughed.

"You're kidding me, right?"

He shaked his head. "Nope..".

"Okay, fine! Then you can sleep in Alans room." I turned around and walked away.

What an idiot. I was really pissed off. Why did Phil had his room card?

"He won't hear you!", Austin yelled again as I was about to knock on Alans door. "He sleeps very tight when he's drunk."

I pressed a finger against my lips. "Shhhh!"

Austin held up his hands and pretended to be totally innocent.

I knocked on Alans door. Nothing. I knocked louder. Nothing. I held my ear on the door and heard nothing but Alan snorring. "Fuck!", I whispered and looked over to Austin. He grinned at me. "Like I said. He won't hear you."

Oh wow... I walked back and took a seat beside Austin. "I'll call Phil.", I said and searched my phone. There were two messages. Both from Phil. The first one said, that he would have Austins room card. Oh well, nice. The second one said that they were about to go in another club. I dailed Phils number and his mailbox came up. I guess they had no service in the club.

"Oh my god... This can't be true.", I said to myself. Austin layed his arm around me. "I'm so sorry, honey."

My heart started to pound like crazy. I know, Austin was drunk... But to hear him calling me 'honey', brought back this weird feeling I had all night long.

"It's okay."

"You should go to sleep. I can wait here.", Austin said calm.

I looked at him a few seconds and sighed, because I knew I would regret my idea.

"Okay, you can sleep in my room, if you want.", I heard myself say.

"Are you sure?", Austin asked surprised. I nodded.

"I can't let you sit here outside on the floor. I don't know when the other guys will be back."

"Okay, thank you.", he said and got up. Austin helped me to stand up and smiled at me. "But only if you are really sure."

*****

"Can I take a shower?"

I couldn't believe he asked me that. I mean, I found myself very generous, to let him sleep in my room. But that was enough.

"You have no clothes to change Austin. Don't forget that."

"Okay okay, I'll take a shower in my room later.", he said out of the bathroom.

I layed already on my side of the bed. My heart was racing because I knew in a few minutes Austin would be sleeping on the other side.

"Holy shit, you are so stupid...", I whispered to myself. And my thought proofed right as Austin came out of the bathroom. In nothing on but his boxershorts. I held on my breath and stared at his body. Hopefully he was to too drunk to notice it. Austin layed his clothes down on the chair beside the closet and streched himself. He stood with his back in my direction and I watched his muscles move. Suddenly I felt like the temperature in my room was way too high. He turned around and looked down on me.

"I can sleep on the floor if you feel uncomfortable." His voice was so calm.

I shaked my head slow. To be honest... I didn't even understood what he said. All I could see was his V-line. Probably the sexiest part of Austins body. Besides his smile...

"Okay, then I think we should sleep."

He layed down on the bed and turned his face to me. What the fuck was he doing? After maybe two minutes I lost my patience.

"Austin, could you please turn around and stop staring at me?" I bet he heard the insecurity in my voice.

He laughed. "No, sorry. I always sleep on my left side."

"Okay, but stop staring at me."

Then I turned around.
