Hold Me In The Rain

Bryan Willams

When his eyes meet yours his phone goes with his hand to his side. He gives you a big smile and meets you the rest of the way. When you are right I'm front of him you let go of your suitcase and look up into his eyes. They sparkle more in person, they're brighter in person, mesmerizing. His smile is brighter, his jawline more defined, everything about him is different in person. Everything except how he talks to you.

"Wow, you're beautiful." He says reaching out to you.
You look down and up again again. "Thank you." You giggle and hide your face in your hands.
"Stop, look at me." He say pulling your hands gently from your face and holding them in his.
"You are, so- so beautiful." He says again.
"You're making me blush! Quit." You say pushing his shoulder.
"I told you that you couldn't stop me in person." He laughs showing his bright smile.
"Already starting?" You laugh and roll your eyes.
"Oh babygirl, don't do that already." He says pulling you closing.
The sound of his voice saying those words without the muffle of a speaker instantly sends your mind for a whirl. And his touch on your waist is electrifying.
You give in to his pull and hug him. You take in the smell of him and feel instantly relaxed.
"I'm so glad you're here." He whispers into your hair.
"Me too." You say.
"Everybody's waiting in the car. Are you ready to meet them?"
You take in a sharp breath. "Everybody?" You wince.
"Yes." He laughs. "Everybody."
"I guess." You shrug.
"Let's go." He says pulling your hand forward.

When you get to the vehicle Chris and Tyler are the first ones to greet you.
"Hey (your name) it's nice to meet you." Chris says.
"Don't get any ideas Chris." Tyler says.
You let out a giggle.
"Don't start this yet." You hear Tristan yell from the back of the SUV.
You peak your head around the back where the trunk is open, "hey Tristan." You say.
"Hello!" You waves excitedly.
You also say hi to Zach and Heidi who can barley hear you in the front but they wave and smile anyways.
"I thought you said everybody was here?" You ask turning to Bryan.
"Oh, Dayne is back at the house cleaning." He laughs.
"Oh. Alright." You laugh.

Chris and Tyler squeeze into the back with Tristan who complains about being stuck between the two boys, while you and Bryan slide into the middle section. While driving he slides his hand into the middle and wiggles his fingers. You take the hint and lay your hand in his. His fingers automatically lock around yours and he starts rubbing his thumb over your knuckles.

When you arrive at the house Bryan makes Tristan grab your bags and drags you inside to meet Dayne. He greets you with a smile and a hug. You can feel him smiling and giving a thumbs up behind your back. Bryan's chuckle just validates the feeling. After talking to everybody for a little bit Bryan offers a tour of the house. You gladly accept the offer and follow him through the house.

He takes you up and down them stairs, in and out of the rooms, shows you where the lives take place, the office, where they film their videos, everything. The last stop, of course, his bedroom.

"And this-" he says turning to you.
"-Is where the magic happens?" You laugh.
"I was going to say is where I sleep, but yeah, that too." He says giving you a wink.
"Oh." You say embarrassed.
He leads your through the door and you see your suit case sitting in the corner.
"I'm sleeping in here?" You question.
"If you want to. I can sleep with the other boys. Or you can go sleep with Heidi. Whatever you're comfortable with." He says scratching his head.
"I'll sleep in here." You smile.
He flashes you a quick smile and the urge to kiss him surges through your body.

"No. Not now." You think to yourself. "Not yet!" You're screaming on the inside.
He looks into your eyes and it's like he can hear your thoughts. He leans in closer to you and gets close enough you can feel his breath on your nose.
"What's wrong baby girl?" He whispers seductively.
The heat rushes through your body and and you gulp loudly.
He kisses your cheek and straightens back up.
You let out a sigh and relax your shoulders.
"Let's go, first thing on the list is the mall." He says grabbing your hand.
"I just got here." You pout.
"I know, but if we stay in here all day how will you get to know the others?" He laughs.
"Fine." You whine and follow him out of the bedroom.
