Teach Me How To Love

Chapter 4

Calista's  POV
He was dressed in a leather jacket, a navy blue shirt, and black high top shoes, black ripped jeans, and his ears were decorated. All 8 of his lobe piercings were in. 4 on the left and 4 on the right. Kevin introduced us and I just waved. Dean scanned my body. I looked down.

"I haven't seen that shirt in a while. I feel like...I've seen your face before too."

"She comments on your posts a lot. You've replied to her and liked her comments sometimes."

"I knew it!"

I kept my head down. I heard someone walking up to me and I saw Dean's shoes. He used the tips of his fingers and picked my head up.

HELP ME?????

"What's wrong darling?"

"I-I-I'm just nervous."

He titled his head to the side.

"Oh?"

"She doesn't want to embarrass herself."

He started to look concerned.

"Oh?"

I laughed awkwardly.

"I don't know how to talk to guys."

"You're doing well so far."

Dean picked up a strand of my hair and started twirling it around his finger.

What's going on right now?!

"Boys! It's time for soundcheck and rehearsal."

He put the strand of my hair down. He noticed, I was shaking.

"I-it's just my anxiety. I-I'll be fine once, I sit somewhere."

He gave me a water bottle.

"T-thanks."

He smiled then, they all walk away. Sherry nudged my arm.

"He's so into you."

"No. H-he's just being nice. Plus...you saw who his last girlfriend was. I can't compete with a supermodel."

I cleared my throat. We walked out of the dressing room. We found our way to where we had to be. I looked around the room. I saw nobody, I knew. I relaxed a bit. Kevin walked up to us.

"I'll show you where you need to be."

"W-what exactly do we do?"

"Just sit and relax. Follow what the production team tells you. If they want you to say a certain thing...say it when they tell you to."

I looked over his shoulder and saw the boys talking. Dean was fiddling with his guitar pick. Sherry nudged me.

"Go on. Go mingle."

"I-I don't want to bother them. They're supposed to be getting ready."

"They've got 15 minutes before I yell at them."

I gulped and walked over to them.

"H-hi again."

"Oh! There you are!"

"We were starting to think, you ran off."

"Oh no. I-I'm sorry. I was just talking to my sister."

"You're still shaking."

"Once again...not good at talking to people. Uh...uh...how's tour going?"

"Tiring. Fun but tiring."

Tao yawned.

"He's still pretty jet lagged."

"At least, you guys are able to adjust to different time zones easily."

"Yeah okay. You're ALSO the one who doesn't go out in the world."

"I was in Paris like...5 months ago?"

"Oh god. Did you eat snails again?"

"It's called "escargot" and no. I didn't."

"Ick! I still can't believe that's a thing."

"You live at the fuckin beach D."

"No. I live BY the beach. Anyway. Moving on."

"Oh yeah. You guys were in London right?"

"Yeah. This tour schedule is literally all over the place."
