Califournia Love

Misleading?

I woke up to the sound of a loud crashing notice coming from the bathroom.

"Ah, shit!" Jesse exclaims. It sounds as if he were trying to whisper to not wake me. I walk over to see what happened and I find Jesse picking up plastic pieces that broke off of the hotel hair dryer.

"Did you brake it?!" I question him.

"Oh my god, dont scare me like that!" Jesse stands up and throwing the broken pieces in the garbage.

"But yes. I dropped it and it all just cracked. Don't tell anybody. They can figure it out on their own." He smiles and walks over to me. He kisses my forehead.

"Good morning." He whispers.

"Good morning." I reply walking toward my suitcase. Jesse and I both shove our belongings back into our bags and get ready to check out. I finish cramming my items and I sit on a chair. Jesse goes to the bathroom so I sit there waiting for him. I get out my phone to text Stacy to tell her that we will be back there soon. I turn on my phone and I have 1 text from Zach. I don't want to see what it says, honestly, but at the same time I do. I click on it and read its contents.

"Hey. You are probably sleeping so you will get this in the morning. I was wondering if you wanted to do something with me. I miss you. It doesn't have to be this week, it can be whenever. And before you go freaking out and whatever, I am not an idiot. I know you are with Jesse and I'm not asking to get into your pants I'm just asking to hang out. Like two friends. If you wanted we could invite Mikey or jer or whoever. But to be honest, I would rather it be just us. I understand if this makes you uncomfortable so just text me whenever".

I am kind of shocked by what I just read. It was a shock that made my heart stop for a second but for some reason I couldn't stop smiling. I actually really want to go but I know I probably shouldn't. Even with Jeremy or somebody there. I don't know what to do so I just text him that I will think about it. I am definitely not saying yes but I'm also not saying no. It would be nice to hang out with him innocently. Just as friends.

My thoughts get interrupted by Jesse barging out of the bathroom.

"Alright, I just saw a freaking spider. Let's go."

I laugh at his expression as he said that and I grab my things and we are out the door. I bring all of the bags to Jesses car while he finishes checking us out at the front desk. As much fun as this little trip was, I'm happy to go home. I can't stop thinking about hanging out with Zach. If I do say yes, will it be actually hanging out as friends? Or randomly hooking up like last time? I just shake those thoughts out of my head and put on the radio. I start obnoxiously signing at the top of my lungs but then notice Jesse walking towards the car looking at me like I am a freak. He opens the drivers side door and laughs at me.

"Yeah I just hope I don't have to hear that all the way back."

I roll my eyes at him and turn off the radio. Its more relaxing with it off, especially when I'm with Jesse. I would much rather hear his interesting stories about crazy fans and getting high and everything. He knows how to make me laugh and I admire that.

**Zach's POV**

I got a text from Jesse and said that he was on his way home with Andy. I tried to call the other guys but they all said they were still going to be away for a few more days. That means it is just going to be me and Jesse. Which I'm totally cool with, by the way. I just...I can't stop thinking about Andy and if she ever does agree to hang out, I intend to tell her. I'm am just afraid of what she might say but then again, when am I not? Its complicated because she says something to make me think she wants me like I want her but then she...doesn't. Is she just playing with my head? For some reason, I don't think she's doing anything on purpose but I would like to know what the deal is.
