Michael's POV:
I had filled my plate with food and I was starting to walk to the table where Erika and the guys were sitting. I saw that Erika's plate was only half filled. I've noticed that she's been kind of picky with herself. I don't know why she would hate her body, I think she looks perfect the way she is. I admit I have a thing for curvy girls. Erika's really fun to be around with, she's kind, and polite. I'm glad she came to spend the day with us, even though the guys and I have to finish a tour, and I won't be able to spend as much time as I would want to. I don't want us to lose touch. I don't think, but I know that I'm starting to feel something for her. When I saw her at the record shop, I noticed her since I had walked through the door. The way she stood, looking through the records, and the way she blushed when I asked if we could get coffee. When we were at the coffee shop, how she was casually and patiently waiting for me. She was different from all the other girls, I don't know, just something about her made me want to be with her at all times. Yes I've received a lot of requests from girls, all the tweets, DM's, direct Instagram posts, etc. I admit many of the girls were good looking but that was it. It was their image that made them stand out, but not in the way where I could be, 'oh, I need to know her, be with her' but with Erika it was. She's beautiful in the outside and I can tell she's beautiful in the inside too. It seems crazy, but I get butterflies when I'm near her, and I can tell she feels the same. I don't care if it's too soon, I'm gonna ask her to be my girlfriend, I just need to do it before we leave to the next city. Hopefully she says yes.

Erika's POV:
Michael sat next to me at the table. The guys had their plates filled with food. I started to eat my salad, sometimes I noticed that Michael was staring at my plate. It made me feel uncomfortable. I was starting to feel something for Michael, I wasn't sure if it was too soon for me to know. Yes I've had crushes, but with Michael it was different. I felt butterflies in my stomach whenever I was near him. When he grabbed my hand earlier I felt like I was going to melt, something I'd never felt before. The thing that would come to my mind is just how different we were, and the fact that many girls wanted him made me overthink about what could actually happen between us.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm gonna get a second plate" Calum said getting up from his chair.
"So am I" Luke said.
I was only halfway done with my salad and I saw that Michael was eating kind of slow.
"So what are we going to do after we're done eating?" Ashton asked. "Do you guys want to go somewhere?"
I looked at Michael.
"I don't know, where do you want to go?" He asked looking at me.
Calum and Luke came back with another filled plate.
"How about we go mini golfing?" I said.
Ashton and Michael smiled and Luke and Calum looked up from their plate.
"That would be awesome!" Michael said and Ashton laughed, his laughter making me laugh too.
When everyone was finished eating we went back to the hotel room and the guys got a few things they needed. I patiently waited for them.
"Vámonos!" Said Ashton walking towards the door.
I was walking towards the elevator when I saw that David was walking behind the guys and I. When we reached the parking lot two tall bodyguards apart from David started walking around us. The guys acted like it wasn't a big deal, as if they were used to it. I wasn't used to it though. There were two Tahoe trucks next to each other. Calum, Ashton and Luke got in one. Michael pulled me towards the other.
"You and me are going to ride together while Ashton, Calum, and Luke ride in the other car." Michael said.
I nodded, not sure of why we had to ride separate cars. Michael opened the door and I got in. I saw that we drove by the same girls still in front of the hotel.
"Don't you guys go out and say hi to them?" I asked.
"We do, but recently it's been getting out of hand. All the girls would come charging at us at once, not really waiting for their turn." He said.
"So they would mob you guys?!" I said shocked.
"It's happened only about two or three times" he said "we get mad and upset about it, but that doesn't make us stop loving our fans"
When Michael said 'that doesn't make us stop loving our fans' his face formed a big smile. Like all his happiness was thanks to them, and that made me smile.
Michael moved in closer to my side, moving his arm behind my back and wrapping my waist, making it seemed like he was protecting me from something bad that might happen. My face was starting to blush and I was starting to feel the same melting feeling I was getting when he grabbed my hand. For some reason I felt safe in his arms. I turned sideways towards him and rested my head on his shoulder, a smile forming on my face.
