Over Again ~ Sequel to Loverboy - Nathan Sykes Fanfic.

Chapter 11. || "Happy 19th Birthday, Sykes"

Ashley's P.O.V (Point of View)

The boys promised me they were coming back from Los Angeles after doing The Tonight Show With Jay Leno before today, but I still had no news from them. Not even a single text from Jay. Maybe they wouldn't talk to me because they were staying there more time than they told me and they weren't coming back for Nath's birthday? That was completely unacceptable. There was no way I was spending the day without him. I think it was the first time I celebrated his birthday since I saw him more than my personal nightmare.

- Hey, Ro! Today's the day, today's Nathan's birthday! Get up, get up! - I shouted-whispered at Roxanne, who was now half-awake.

She rubbed her eyes and stretched. - I thought you weren't into him anymore? -

I rolled my eyes. - Of course I still like him, you know... I just... Have been having confused feelings towards Patrick. -

She threw her pillow at me. - Told you that you shouldn't do it... You try really hard not to fall for that person but that's the thing you end up doing... -

I snorted. - What was I supposed to do? - I paused, but continued fast enough so she couldn't talk. - Anyway, do you think the lads are avoiding me? They haven't texted me... Well, Jay's the one who I always talk to but Max and Tom are both really close to me... And they know I want them here by today. -

- Wait. - she sat up in her bed, her eyes still half-closed, her hair messy. - You told me once that Jay always loses his phone, right? So what's the problem? Maybe he lost it... Again. What's your problem, really? You're acting like their mother - she chuckled.

- Hey, shut up, I'm just being concerned about them - I sighed. - You're probably right. I shouldn't be worrying that much. They're going to be here today... - I said it, trying to force myself to believe it.

The truth is that about 40 minutes later, at 7:56 Tom called me. My heart raced up as I picked up the call. - TOM! Oh my God please tell me you're in Boston already! -

- Hey calm down Ashnator... Right now we're in Atlanta, we had to make a stopover here. But the flight starts boarding like in 30 minutes. -

I calmed down. - Cool, cool. So, how's Nathan spending his birthday? - I unconsciously smiled whilst thinking about him.

- He's great. I mean, it kinda sucks that we had to be on a plane all morning but he's fine. - He cleared his throat. - Talking about him, actually, the lads plus Kelsey and Nareesha and me are thinking about throwing him a surprise birthday party, do you think you can help us? -

I didn't even think about it for a minute. - Well, of course! You just have to tell me what you're going to need and what you want me to do. -

- Basically what you'd buy for a surprise party... Oh! And Jay wants to make a cake with us so the ingredients for it, Nathan likes chocolate so I guess the cake's going to be a chocolate cake, and make sure to buy beer and stuff... For over-21s even though I know under-aged are going to drink as well. -

I didn't quite like the idea, but I guess all of their parties had alcohol, and I couldn't complain. - Okay, is there anything else you need? - I asked.

- No... - I was about to say bye to him but then he started speaking up again. - Oh! I almost forgot... Be sure to dress something sexy for him... Dionne's back in England so he's all yours! -

I blinked as I got out of my trance. - Tom, do you realize I'm not single anymore, right? - he didn't care what I say - And, just for curiosity... What's Dionne doing back at England? -

- She's doing an interview for a british magazine... Don't ask why! I think it's because of her upcoming album. -

- Oh, that's okay. Hmm, guess I'll volunteer to distract him so you lads can prepare everything... See you tonight, then! Have a great flight! -
