Shipwrecked (Lawlorff)

XXXI

(Sam’s POV)

We rush down the hall to the elevator and pop inside. How could we have slept so long? Why did no one come and get us?

We finally reach the main deck and see the Meet and Greet, already in progress. Acacia at the VIP table rolls her eyes at us and Lindsay snickers something into her ear.

“They were probably just having sex again,” Taylor jokes. Carter bursts out laughing and slaps Taylor playfully for his ‘comedic genius’. It’s not even that funny. We’re in a relationship. What’s so wrong with that?

Kian blushes and sits down in his seat and I sit in mine beside him and Jc. Matt’s sitting on Jc’s lap and his wheelchair is propped against the wall. 

“Why the hell didn’t anyone tell us we were going to be late?!” Kian mutters under his breath.

“We just assumed you wouldn’t want to be interrupted..” Ricky sasses.

Kian’s eyes light up with fury. “We weren’t doing anything! We took a nap! This is our JOB, Ricky. We have to be notified when we’re needed. 

I place my hand on Kian’s knee in attempt to calm him down and he sighs and looks at me. He picks me up out of my chair and places me on his lap just like Matt on Jc. 

He kisses me on my neck and Connor says, "Awwwww!"

I smile at him and Beth glares at me. Hmm, where did that come from?

Connor sits at the table along with the rest of o2l and all the fans sit in their chairs. 

Taylor, Carter, Mahogany, Jacob, Acacia, Lindsey, and various others are seated at the VIP table. 

Connor taps on his microphone routinely to determine whether or not it's working. 

He clears his throat and pulls the mic to his mouth. 

"I have an announcement to make," he says. We all quiet down and focus solely on Connor.

Connor takes a deep breath and smiles. "I'm rejoining O2L!" he exclaims. 

We all smile.

The crowd cheers. 

Everyone jumps up and down excitedly and smiles. Except for Bethany, her's is more of a grimace. 

An upsetting sort of grimace.

"Congrats, Con!" shouts Ricky.

We all pat Connor on the back and then Kian wraps his arms around me yet again. He nuzzles into my neck and rests there.

"I seriously cannot get over how cute you two are," Connor mentions at us. Kian tightens his grip around me and smiles. He's adorable. 

"Lawlorff!" screams a girl from the crowd.

Kian and I look up and smile. It's nice to see the fans being nice to us. 

"Okay, question time!" announces our tour manager. 

We all sit up in our seats and wait for the questions. 

I rest my head on Kian's shoulder.

"Is Sam going to move into the o2l house now?" asks a girl.

Hmm.

We haven't discussed this. 

I look at Kian. 

"I was thinking that, if it was okay with the babe, we'd move in together... alone." Kian states.

I smile. 

"That's more than okay with me, kiki," I joke and kiss his nose.

The crowd aww's and so does Connor.

People sure are suckers for a cute couple.

Kian giggles and blushes and pulls me into a hug with him. 

Cutie. 

I love him.

"Connor! ARE YOU MOVING BACK TO THE O2L HOUSE?!" yells another fan.

"Um, no. I live with Bethany." he says, glancing over at Beth, who smiles. 

At least she's stopped glaring at us. 

(Mystery POV)

They are all liars. They are all terrible boys to be meddled with. Each and every one of them is hiding something. 

And I will unmask them for all they've done.

To everyone. 

Maybe Jenn failed.

But I won't.
