Train Tracks and Romances

Chapter 4

I woke up to the sizzling sound and smell of bacon and a few minutes later a knock on my door.
"Rebekah? Are you up?"
"I am indeed" I said pulling the covers up to my chin
Michaels arrived in with a tray carrying a bacon roll, a glass of fresh orange, and a rose in a vase!
My jaw almost hit the floor when I seen it.
"I hope you don't mind"
"Not at all!" I said
He handed me the tray and sat next to me. I gave him a kiss on the cheek and said thanks. He went a little red but said it was no problem at all.
"I have a little surprise for you today!"
"You do!" I said taking my last sip of orange juice.
He stood up and took the tray and before he left he said "I'll give you time to get ready" and with a wink he was gone.
I wondered what it could be. My hair was nice from the shower yesterday and I really couldn't be bothered having another one so I done my hair nice and my make up and wore a black polka dot knee high dress with black wedges. It wasn't too formal and it wasn't too casual, it was just right. I wore practically the same make up as yesterday and left the room.
"WOW! You look amazing!!!" Michael told me with his jaw on the floor.
"Your sure I look ok?" I asked
"You look more then ok!!"
I giggled. We had a taxi waiting outside which took us to where we where going. It was a recording studio so I was a little confused!
As we walked into the huge building I held onto Michaels hands 1) because i couldn't walk in these heels and 2) I was a little taken back and nervous. He squeezed my hand assuring me everything would be fine.
I followed him down a never ending hallway and we came across a room 'changing room 8' it read on the door. He knocked lightly and the room inside quieted. Michael walked in, me still holding his hand. I walked in and was greeted with 3 other boys all about Michaels age. One was very tall with a tall blond quiff making him taller. Another blond boy with a little longer hair and two drum sticks in his hand and the third with tanned skin and dark brown hair and blond highlights in his quiff. They all smiled as did I and Michael spoke
"Boys, this is Rebekah, Rebekah this is Luke, Ashton and Calum. I shook each of there hands and Michael laughed to which the others joined in
"What?" I said a little shy
"You're so formal" Michael said
I looked down at my nails and started picking at them.
"Hey, hey" Michael said lifting my chin with his finger "are you ok?" He said a little worried.
"Yeah I'm fine!" I nodded.
"Ahh she's so cute!" Ashton said with a strong Australian accent pulling me into a hug. Michael then joined and then Luke and then Calum. It was getting so squashy I felt my breath stiffen. I felt as though I might have a panic attack! I quickly shouted
"Girl wearing a dress and heels here"
The laughed, said sorry simultaneously and then backed out of the hug. I sat down on the couch and tried to steady my breathing. Counting to 10 in my head slowly. Calum knelt down next to me asking if I was alright I nodded and said "I'm not good in small spaces"
"I'm so sorry I would have never have done that if I knew!" He told with another strong Australian accent
"Honestly it's fine!" I said smiling to reassure him I really was fine.
By the end of the day I had found out the Calum was single and a little desperate for a girlfriend which made me laugh.
Luke had a girl friend called Lottie
Ashton has no girlfriend yet, and a twin sister called Murron who is a little over protective sometimes.
Before we left luke came up to me and told me that Michael doesn't stop going on about me at rehearsal and that he really likes me, he was a little awkward around me which was strange because he doesn't seem the type. I thought it was sweet that he liked me and that Luke told me this so I thanked him and hugged him. The hug was awkward as he's so tall and I'm so small I tried to hug him around his neck which would have worked accept I couldn't quite reach so it turned into an awkward hug/grind and that when Ashton turned round and said "what are you doing?" I laughed and said "attempting to hug a giraffe"
"Hey!" Luke said lightly punching me on the arm, it seems he's warming up to me.

On the way home we had only one conversation
"So you're in a band" I said
"Yeah, we kinda suck"
"I bet you don't I can imagine you being good singers!"
"And good guitar players and good drum players"
"Oh of course" I replied "what's the name again"
"5 seconds of summer"
"Ah the length of a British summer"
We laughed and before we knew it we where home. Today had been a good day!!
