Today was Monday morning, it was 8 am and the boys' plane was leaving at noon, I had to drop them off at the airport so I could keep the car. I was sad when I got up cause I said to myself that I would not see them for 3 months ... Fortunately, they offered me to come and see them in 1 month, I obviously accepted. The apartment will seem empty to me without them.
I was barely emerging when 3 bodies far too heavy for my taste came crashing down on me.
"- MIA !!!!!!! James yelled in my ears
- Stop screaming! I said before putting my head under the pillow but two hands snatched it from me
- MIA !!!!!!! YOU CAN COME ON TOUR WITH US !!!!!! Shouted James again
- Sorry ?
- SAY YES PLEASE SAY YES !!! Shouted Connor
- But say yes to what? I asked having trouble assimilating the information
- MIA PACK YOUR SUITCASE !!! This time it was Tristan
- But why ! I was starting to lose patience
- YOU COME WITH -
- SHUT UP ! Bradley, who was standing in the doorway, cut them off. Mia, what the guys are trying to tell you is that the technician for our instruments had a big problem and won't be able to follow us on tour. Joe therefore asked that we suggest that you replace him since you did a good job at the concert on Saturday. This means that you have 2 hours to choose whether or not you want to go to America for 3 months with 4 idiots. You would, of course, be adequately compensated and I think that is all. He finished
- I ... I stopped talking for a minute while I understood what was going on
- You see guys, she won't come. Go let her get ready. Said Brad as the boys got up disappointed
-It's... it's okay... They all turned to me. I'm coming with you. You are now my only family, I am not leaving anything here. The four of them came to jump into my arms, happy with my choice
- Hurry up ! You have two hours to do your stuff. Connor said to me while they all came out of my room to leave me alone "
I couldn't believe it, I was going to discover America with the 4 men I loved the most in the world. In addition to that I would be paid for my work, I could find a new apartment. Yes I love living with the boys but I feel like I take advantage of them by being accommodated for free so when we come back to England I would take an apartment alone.
After a good hour I finally finished my suitcase and left to chat with the boys before we left the apartment to head for the airport. Our first destination was Toronto where we would apparently stay 5 days because there were two concerts planned in the city.
It was the first time I took a plane so I was a little bit stressed. I was between James and Bradley. The takeoff was pretty funny for the boys because I was clinging to James' arm which was screaming in pain while the other 3 laughed. The flight lasted 7 hours so it's only natural that I fell asleep on James' shoulder.
I was awakened by the non-delicacy of Simpson who shook me, shouting in my ear
"- Mia wake up, we're in Canada! James told me more calmly
- Already? I slept all the way?
- Yeah, and you snored , Brad said, clapping Tris's hand. Not one to catch the other
- He lies. Con told me and I smiled at him "
We set foot on American soil. It was horribly cold and I hadn't thought of taking a jacket. So I was frozen. James lent me his jacket but even so I was really cold. Too bad but it was okay I could hold on. The car ride was quite short but there was still a problem, the distribution of rooms. Joe said there was a room for three and a room for two. I would be in the room for two with either Tristan or Bradley, because Con and James, who are both in a couple, will sleep together. Tris and Brad couldn't decide between themselves, so they did rock, paper, scissors. And guess who ends up with me? Bradley obviously. I suspect the boys were cheating so I ended up with him.
We arrived at our room which was opposite that of the other three. It was huge, in the center there was a big bed and on the left a sofa with a huge flat screen. And I'm not talking about the bathroom.
"You can take the bed, I'll sleep on the couch. Told me brad
- You're the artist who has to sleep well to make a success of his concerts, so I take the sofa. I told him
- Mia... let me be gallant for once! He laughed. Either way it's non-negotiable. I gave in pretty quickly because I was extremely tired and I couldn't say no to this soft bed "
We each laid down in our corner, exhausted by jet lag
"- I wanted to say thank you for the tweet you put for to me. Your fans have calmed down since
- It's normal you are our friend ...
- No, I'm just James' best friend. I whispered
- Mia ... Damn he heard me. You are my most precious friend, but if I had said that, they would not have calmed down ...
- Brad can I ask you a question?
- Go ahead
- You never had any attraction for me ...? I whispered shameful of my question
- Good night Mia ... So I was right it was no and he didn't want to tell me so as not to hurt me "
I fell asleep sad but relieved because I finally had the answers to my questions.
It had been about 1 hour since I fell asleep when I woke up in a sweat, I was too hot and aches all over. I knew I would get sick with this cold outside ...
"- Brad ... I said
- Hmm ...
- I do not feel good...
- What is happening to you ? He said in the vapes because I had just woken him up
- I think I have a fever ... He got up and touched my forehead
- You are hot... Do you want to take a shower? It will relax you. He said to me before helping me to get up to take me to the bathroom.
- Go back to bed ... You have to sleep to get in shape and I don't want you to catch my microbes. He agreed and went back to the couch "
I took a good shower which relaxed each muscle. It was a good idea. After this I went back to bundle myself up in the blanket, I heard Brad's regular breathing, sign that he was asleep. I did the same.
An hour later I woke up again but this time I was cold, it was definitely not the best night of my life. I didn't want to wake Brad up so I put on a sweater but nothing helped I was still cold
"- Mia, you're okay? I can hear your teeth chattering. I jumped, I didn't expect him to be awake.
- I'm sorry, I didn't want to bother you again...
- You do not bother me. If you are not well I prefer that you tell me.
- I'm completely frozen, even with all my layers of clothing and blanket I can't get warm ... I heard him get up and then I felt my mattress sag.
- What are you doing... ? I asked him while he lies down next to me
- I come to warm you up, if the clothes are not enough, maybe my body heat can help you. He said to me as he put his naked body against me and wrapping his arms around my stomach. My skin started to shiver at the touch of his fingers.
- You give me even more chills than I already have. I laughed softly
- Yes, but those chills are not due to the cold. He told me by kissing my neck and running his hands under my sweater to put them on my stomach. He wants my death or what? He knows the effect it has on me
- Brad...
- Yes ?
- You can't do that after making me realize that you're not attracted to me ... We're friends, that's all
- I'm sorry I didn't answer you earlier ... The truth is that you attract me so much that I could kiss you now but I don't want anything more for now. I mean by that it's just physical ...
- Yet it seems that my body attracts no man. I told him by remembering his words
- You attract a lot of men, me first. Your body is beautiful, you are beautiful ... He said to me quite close to my face. I was suddenly not cold at all
- I'm vulnerable tonight, don't take advantage of it ...
- I would never sleep with you if you are not 100% consenting. However I can still do that. He slowly connected our lips but I pushed him away. Oh I thought you wanted ...
- I want to, especially since the time when I saw you in your underwear in the dressing room, but I'm sick and I don't want to give you my microbes, you must be able to sing
- If you only knew how much I don't care now. And he pressed his lips against mine, they moved perfectly together. The kiss was long but above all pleasant, no one had kissed me as well as he did. He backed up gently before looking at me
- Damn it, you kiss well. He said to me before connecting our lips a second time. This kiss was wilder but just as pleasant. We wanted each other. He took his lips off again
- I return you the compliment. I told him, smiling
- Go to sleep Mia, you're exhausted. He said, hugging me
- You are right. Good night. I turned around and kissed him lightly on the lips before I went back to sleep normally with a smile on my lips. "
---
"- Did we miss an episode there? Tristan's strong voice woke me up. I felt arms tighten around me and this is where I remembered that night and a new smile took place on my lips.
- Guys, you can stop putting your face that close to mine, it's stressful. I said half asleep
- Why is Brad just in his underwear, in bed with you hugging? Asked James
- I can explain everything to you. I tried
- Oh well yes you will explain to us . Said Tris with a look full of innuendo
- She had a fever and was frozen, so I went to her bed with her to warm her up. End of the story. Murmured Brad next to me
- That's all ? Not even a little kiss?
- Nothing
- Okay guys I have to get ready can you go out please? At my request they all left the room to leave us both
- You do not assume it? I turned to Brad
- No, it's just that it had no meaning so I don't see why they should know about it. He answered me and I lowered my head. Mia, I did it because you were physically attractive to me. You know very well that that meant nothing. Ouch, I knew it but hearing it hurt
- Yes I know
- So, let's not talk about it anymore, if it has to happen again it will happen and that's it. He finished before leaving to change in the bathroom »
His way of telling me all this had been cold. I started to get too attached to him and his no sentimental kisses (on his side at least) weren't going to help. So I have to end it. After being ready, I left the room before he left the bathroom so as not to be confronted with him. Coming out I met James
" - Can I talk to you... ? I asked him
- Oh uh yes, come on. He took me to his room, Con and Tris were at breakfast
- Well, he kissed me ... I confessed
- Who ?
- Brad.
- Sorry ?
- Last night he joined me in bed to warm me up but he admitted to me that I was attracting him and he kissed me. I finished my sentence out of breath
- Oh I see, and did you like it?
- I loved it, I wanted it for a long time, but this morning he did not fail to remember me that it was without feelings, just physical desire
- You love him ? He asked me
- I ... I honestly don't know ... A little bit ...? But it hurt me when he reminded me that it didn't mean anything to him. I said pained. I shouldn't let him kiss me anymore.
- Actually I think it's the best for you. He said to me sincerely. Brad is my best friend and I love him, but don't let him play with you Mia. He hugged me and I went down to breakfast. I found Con who was still there and sat with him
- So you don't know how to hold your tongue ?! Why did you need to tell James ?! Brad entered the dining room in a rage. Shit ...
- He's my best friend, I needed advices ...
- Advices ?! We ask for advices when there are feelings, not when it's just things to have fun! Anyway it was a mistake and it will not happen again! Finally I was right at the club, look at yourself, at the first man who approaches you you have to act like a child and go tell someone everything! He clenched his fists, pissed off and went up
- I ... I couldn't line up a sentence. I'm going out. I said to Con before walking quickly to the exit of the hotel, followed by Connor's calls "
I walked quickly through the streets of Toronto without knowing where I was going, I just wanted to clear my head
James's POV:
I was mad at myself, I should have kept what she had confessed to me for myself but it was stronger than me I really wanted to know if Brad did not feel anything for her. But when I saw him go down in fury to find her after our conversation, I understood that I had made a mistake.
I heard the door in front of mine slam. He had returned. I decided to go to see him
"Brad don't be mad at her, she was just lost. I told him when I entered his room and saw him sitting upset.
- I don't care, she didn't have to tell you this. It was private. He answered me
- You ... Are you ashamed to have kissed her? I tried
- No. But by telling you she ruined everything. It was our little secret
- Have you considered the fact that she maybe doesn't kiss you for the same reasons as you?
- What do you mean ?
- You have no feeling and you consider that a game. But and if she had kissed you sincerely?
- With feelings? But I clarified to her that that meant nothing...
- I know. But anyway. Be aware that this could be a possibility. I told him. I hope you weren't too mean to her
- You know how I am when I get mad ...
- Brad! She is fragile ! I yelled at him and we changed the subject right after. Suddenly, the door of the room opened, letting Con and Tris pass with worried faces
- You guys haven't seen Mia?
- No why ? I asked
- After her argument with Brad she got out of the hotel, I looked for her for half an hour without success so I figured she might have come back here. Told us Con
- Are you proud of yourself? I turned to Brad. I hope for you that nothing has happened to her. I finished
We were all stressed, but Brad was in even more pressure, he was worry. The four of us went out into the streets of Toronto hoping to spot her. Everyone was putting their own in it, people were asked if they had not seen her, traders were asked, but no one had seen her. After 4 hours of research, we decided to go back to the hotel and let her come in by herself.
"- I will continue to search. Brad told us while we get ready to go
- It's no use Brad the city is too big for you to find her. I told him. Come back with us you will get sick
- Out of questions, I must find her.
- Okay, as you want ... Pay attention to yourself. I told him before we go back to the hotel "
Once back, we took a shower each to warm up and we decided to make a little music with the three of us, always worried about our friend.
About 3 hours after we got home, Brad arrived in the bedroom
"Did you find her? Tris asked, but he replied with a negative nod
- I'm sorry guys it's my fault ...
- It doesn't matter Brad. You shouldn't have gotten so angry but I'm also mad at her. That she wants to isolate herself I can understand but that she does not even send a message to reassure us I cannot understand. And it was at this precise moment that she decided to return
Yeahhhhh new chapter here and they finally kissed. Hope you like it! Next chapter tomorrow ! xx
