Under the spotlight

Chapter 44: Away

TW: spicy scenes in between stars (★★★★★)

---------(...)----------

A week went by pretty quickly. It was like I didn't have a second to breathe before it was over. Katarina had said that she was confident with our work, which had me on the clouds. Also, spending time with the guys became part of my routine. Every day I would meet for breakfast with one of them and after classes we would sit under a tree and do homework or stuff.

Little by little I became just a bit more comfortable with the idea of people watching us. When I told them the stares made me feel weird, they absolutely respected that and started to find more private places. They were incredible with everything and that made me feel...guilty. Guilty that they had to share me, because I didn't feel like I was enough for them, they deserved better. But none of them seemed to mind because they loved sharing time and made sure that I was always comfortable.

Last week 's...thing, wasn't repeated. They always made comments and got me to be all frustrated, but I was just shy to do...anything more. But their kisses were like a stop to the world around us.

On Saturday we sat down and after a little convincing got Sebastian to agree to go to Vancouver. It was going to be a long, long trip, starting off by visiting his sisters at Port Jefferson. Then we would take a flight up to an airport that was three hours away from Vancouver. All of this because we did it in such short notice. Dominique arranged that two cars would be waiting for us at that airport and so we would drive all the way to the city. The trip would last almost 10 hours from Port Jefferson to Vancouver and we would arrive at noon. I couldn't begin to say how thankful I was.

We woke up at 7 am on the 24th to start packing. Wednesdays were usually very busy days, but since the holidays started that day, we didn't have classes. The guys and Sarah helped me out to organize, the most difficult part had been stuffing the gifts for my grannies. I had scarfs, socks and toys from the big apple that I knew they were going to love.

Now we were all trying to pack everything in a little cab and it was almost 2 o'clock. So while they fought about how to arrange everything I knew what I wanted to do. They kept arguing but I slipped past them and walked towards the coffee shop. I knew I was going to find the platinum haired girl there. Indeed, Kara sat on the far corner table with a hot chocolate mug in between her hands. As soon as I walked in and she spotted me, a smile grew on her face. She seemed genuinely happy to see me. I went to sit with her.

"Hi! Dominique told me you guys were leaving today," Her eyes were bright and shiny, a beautiful shade of light blue almost grey.

"Yes, they are discussing some last things and I thought about coming here to say goodbye,"

"That's wonderful, I hope the trip goes smoothly," She had a way of talking that no one had, formal and elegant yet friendly.

"Yes, I hope so too, I haven't seen my grannies since the beginning of the year, I miss them so much," I said with a glint of longing in my tone.

"I'm sure you do,"

We talked for a bit until Sebastian messaged me saying that they were ready to go. I said my goodbyes to Kara and went back to my building where they were waiting for me. They all looked so cute with their coats and gloves, I loved seeing them well dressed. Me on the other side, I had a plain white shirt with black leggings, nothing special. But I had a good excuse, I wasn't going to stay squished inside a cab with a dress and sweater for almost two hours.

"What are you looking at," Dominique said while going in for a hug.

"Just looking at how handsome you are," I winked and giggled. "We need to leave, how do we fit in here?"
