Stay With Me

Eighteen

We spent the last week together. We were everywhere, the mall, someone's house, the boys and I spent every single day together before they went out for a 3 month world tour. Their domestic tour just became a world tour. It was good news but It'll be tomorrow though, when they go out of the country. In the mean time, I accompanied Tim to buy fireworks and booze for tonight's kick-off party. They expect tons of people to come, thus buying tons of booze.

"I think this is enough..." I said as I put the last bag of whiskey on the trunk and hopped in the passenger seat. The other boys were at the Kirch's residence to make sure everything's ready.

"Hey..." I called out as Tim started the ignition, he looked at me innocently and asked why, Tim is a nice guy. He is, the best manager out there.

"You'll keep an eye on them right?" I said, it's not a question.

"It's kinda my job..." He said with humor as he start driving.

"No band whores and drugs?" I clarified. Tim laughed and turn the radio on.

"No drugs I promise!" He said, I just gave him a punch as he didn't promise about the girls.

After 15 minutes, the others welcomed us by getting the booze and fireworks in the trunk. I went to the house's backyard to join Lacy, and the other girls. Jaime was there too.

"So, I was wondering after we go to the airport tomorrow we'll go to the spa we went to last month..." Lacy whispered as Pat served us food.

"Thanks Patty Cakes..." I said as I nodded at Lacy. Pat gave me an innocent smile as he started grilling again.

"How are you?" I asked Jaime who was sitting across us. She gave me a warm smile and said she was okay. We had a little conversation about life in Nevada when Garrett took me away.

"I was trying to have a social life!" I demanded as he lead me to the kitchen.

"Austin Gibbs is here" he said, looking at me. I gave out a big smile and he returned it to me, Garrett knows that I kind of have a crush on this guy. Heck, I think I'm inlove with his voice.

"You're not jealous?" I said as he lead me where John and Austin were talking.

"Nah, not the jealousy type" he said. I cackled, he was, remember Nate? We weren't even dating then.

"Liar." I exclaimed. He chuckled as he pulled me closer to him as we approach the two guys. I hear about Austin a lot but I never met him before.

"Hey Austin, this is Nike by the way. Jared's cousin." John introduce me as he saw Garrett and me standing near by. Austin gave me a warm smile and extended his arms for me to shake.

"Nice to meet you, didn't figure Jared have some beautiful cousins, should have hang out with him a lot" he joked, i felt Garrett's hand squeezed mine and I giggled for 2 reasons. 1) Austin just complimented me 2) Garrett's jelly.

"Hi, nice to meet you too." I said, keeping my voice even. This is a total fangirl moment.

"So you're new here?" Austin asked as Garrett let go of my hand and leave the two of us in the kitchen when Pat called him.

"Been here for 2 years..."

"That's weird." He said, I look at him and chuckled.

"Yeah?"

"Don't you go out often? I mean..."

"I have italian blood". I replied when I figure out what he was trying to say, my paleness is always the first topic.

After a minute of silence Garrett went back and hugged me with one arm. I saw Austin gave us a smirk.

"You two together?" He asked. Garrett nodded and gave him a playful punch.
