~ In Love With The Competition ~ A George Shelley Love Story ~

Chapter 23 ~ So Wrong, Yet So Right.

Lacey's POV


I flopped onto the couch in the tour bus, still exhausted from last night's performance. It was almost the end of the tour, And we were heading back to London for our last couple of performances. My phone buzzed in my pocket and I took it out, already having an idea to whom it may be.

1 New Text Message From: Alex:)

Oh, I was wrong. Oooops. I opened the message and began reading:

Hey! I heard that the tour is coming back to London! I live there! I'm coming to your last concert, front row tickets! My dad managed to get us backstage passes so I'll see ya there? Maybe we could meet up for coffee? Byee! xxxxxxxxx

I smiled to myself. Me and Alex have become really good friends, always texting and calling. Before you ask , no, I am not dating him! I'm still in love with George, for God snakes! (Yes, snakes) Anywhore.....I sent a quick reply back saying yes to coffee and put my phone away. I felt more awake now so, being the girly girl I am, I stuck in CoD: Black Ops and started playing it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

"YES! BEAT THAT YA PONCE!!" I screamed at the TV, jumping up and down on the couch, after beating yet another player. When I was younger, like 5-7 years old, I had mostly guy friends, so I knew how to kick some ass at games like these.  I was aware of someone watching me, so I turned round and saw George staring at me, open mouthed. I smirked.

"Close your mouth George, you might catch flies." I winked, laughin. He snapped his mouth shut and and snapped out of his thoughts. "How on Earth can you do that!? You're better than me!" I giggled and Josh ran through. "George, it's not exactly hard to be better than you!" He smirked and JJ cracked up at his joke, also walking into the living room. "Wanna play?" He asked, grabbing a controller. George opened his mouth, about to say something but I stopped him. "Yea, sure! I probably suck anayway because I'm a girl." I said, winking at George, who giggled.

After about and hour and a half of kicking the boys' asses at CoD, they gave up and declared me the winner of our mini 'tournament'. They thought they were witty because it has the word 'tour' in it. This is what I put up with...
At that time, we finally arrived in London and started heading towards the hotel. George's phone rang and he picked it up, looking at the caller ID first. He smiled a bit before lookingat me, a guilty look in his eyes. Whaaaaat? He answered the phone and pressed it to his ear.

"Hey babe." He said into the phone. Babe? He already had a new girlfriend?! So much for waiting till after the tour for me. My chest began to tighten. I could be wrong? It could just be a friend? I felt the tears prick my eyes so I turned and walked away. I found myself in my room and decided to change into jeans and a wooly jumper. I needed a walk.

Back in Scotland, when I was sad or needed to clear my head, I went for a walk to the local park.  But I wasn't in Scotland anymore. I was in London, which was still quite new to me and I could get lost easily. The bus jerked to a stop, signalling that we had arrived at our hotel. I bolted out the door, after putting my Uggs on, and into the producers bus. I was not taking the chance of going out without permission again.

Thankfully, Herbert said I could go for a walk, but to be back at the hotel in 2 hours. Just what I needed. I was meeting Alex at a Starbucks around the corner in 5 minutes so I hurried up, now speed walking. As I got to the door, a hand reached out for the handle the same time as mine.I pulled my hand back and looked up, finding mysekf staring into Alex's eyes. He laughed and pulled me into a hug.

"Fancy meeting you here." He joked and opened the door. I rolled my eyes and smiled. "I think you like to stalk me when I'm at coffee shops." I stated, jokingly making him laugh. I was soon laughing with him, it being contagious. I ordered the usual and went into my bag for my purse when it was whisked out of my hands. "Ah ah ah! No paying for you!" He said, waggling his finger at me, mock sternly. I huffed and crossed my arms, pouting. Maybe that will make him let me pay?

"I don't care how adorablre you look while doing that, I'm not letting you pay." He said in a sing-song voice. My pout wavered and I blushed. Adorable? Naaaah. We sat down with our coffees and talked. About everything. He told me how he had to leave all his friends behind in America, how his sister was moaning about wanting to go back and him not knowing his way around here. I told him that I was still new here and I still got lost, that seemed to lighten him up.

We walked into the almost empty park, just a while away from the hotel, and I squealed. "Swings!" I exclaimed clapping my hands together like a little girl. Alex chuckled and followed me when I ran towards them. I sat on the swing and began to sing my legs back and forth. Soon I was soaring in the air, laughing. I suddenly went faster and higher into the air, almost giving myslef a heart attack. I turned round, with great difficulty, to see Alex behind me, pushing the swing.

I laughed, again, at how childish we were being as Alex sat on the swing next to me. We had a mini competiton to see who could go higher. Eventually he won, something that he wasn't going to let go of easily. We sat down on a bench, slightly out of breath. "I don't smoke weed or anything but I felt so high there." He winked at me, emphasising the 'high'. I pushed his chest playfully, and felt my hands being held captive there. I looked down and saw that Alex's hands were holding mine to his chest. I blushed and looked up at him. I almost banged into his face, it was so close. 

I could feel his hot breath on my face and my lips parted slightly. "A-Alex..-" I was cut off by his lips smashing onto mine. I know I shouldn't have, but I kissed back. Tingled shot through my body from my lips to my toes. This felt so wrong, yet so right.

His tongue swept across my bottom lip, asking for entrance. Without thinking, I let him in. What was going on?

What had I gotten myslef into?
