CODA

Twenty-Six

Double update! Read 25 if you haven't! Love you guys!!!

"Welcome to London, ladies." Jaydan smiles at the girls as they walk into the hotel lobby.

"Ava, Olive, Delanee, you are all free to sleep, sight see, enjoy how you please. Carter, you have a date, and we need damage control done hard core. After tonight no one believes Calum was hanging around any other girls. Got it. Good. He will pick you up at your room at six. Don't be late. Follow me to your rooms."

"Great." Carter smiles bitterly, completley unexcited to be going out with Calum tonight. It's been a week since the whole 'I love you' incident, and she hadn't spoke to him once. Not a call, text, anything. And she was perfectly okay with that.

Actually she wasn't...

But she was still pissed as hell that his first night in London he went out and got drunk off his ass and flirted and who knows what else with a random girl. So she really doesn't want to see him.

"Delanee and Carter, you girls are in this room." Jaydan comments once they trek out of the elevator. "Ava and Olive, you two are here." He points to the door across the hall. "I'm the next door down, and the crew fills much of the floor. Dylan is in the room next to mine with our guitar guy Samuel. If you wanted to know."

"Thanks." Ava smiles, taking her room key from him and letting herself and Oli into their room.

"Six sharp, Carter." Jaydan calls as she walks after Delanee into their room.

"Got it." She grumbles back, making sure their door is shut before letting out a long groan.

"It's going to be okay, Carter." Delanee frowns.

"Yes, going on a date with the guy I am hopelessly in love with, but also pissed as hell at, who thinks I hate him, and did who knows what with some girl the night after our fight. Sounds like it should be just wonderful. Not to mention I'm exhausted from the flight, and jetlag is going to set in. Plus management is pissed and I'm sure this date is going to have pleanty of public shows of affection to fix Calum's shit. And right now I'd rather punch him than kiss him. Especially in front of cameras..." She sighs, falling face first into one of the beds.

"Done being a pessimistic bitch?" Delanee laughs.

"Ahhhhhhh!" Carter screams into the bed, letting the mattress absorb the noise before huffing and turning to look at Delanee. "Now I'm done."

"Good. So, we going hot as fuck or lazy?"

"I want to look hot as fuck so he realizes he was an idiot to go out with that bitch before talking to me and trying to get an answer to why I flipped."

"Then let's get to work. Go shower, I'll find you an outfit."

"I love you, Delanee Zander. Do you know that?" Carter laughs.

"I do. Now shower."

"I'm going, I'm going."

By the time Carter is out of the shower Ava and Olive have found their way across the hall and are debating with Delanee between a skirt and some high waist black jeans.

"I'm not wearing a skirt tonight." Carter rolls her eyes, "I don't want to worry about sitting proper all night. Plus it's early May, it might get chilly."

"Jeans it is." Delanee nods, tossing them at her along with a low cut black tank top.

"He's going to hate me for wearing this top." Carter laughs, "Good choice."

"We got your back, girl. I'm going to heat up the curling iron." Ava grins.

"I've got makeup. It's in your suitcase still?" Olive hollars.
