Chapter Eight

After Joey and all the guys left my room, I went back into the bathroom, got undressed and hoped in the shower. After I washed my hair and got out, wrapping myself in a towel, well it wasn't a towel really, it was my avenged sevenfold beach towel. But it was big and warm and fluffy, But, Suddenly, I realised...... I left my clothes on my bed. f**k. I opened the bathroom door and stuck my head out.

'JAMES!' I shouted, No answer. 'JAMES!' I shouted again, Still no answer. God!. I opened the door wider, Still no sign of life, So I stepped out into my room and walked over to the double doors. Looking out into the 'living room', No one was here. I turned around and walked over to my bed and got dressed, There, On top of my pile of clothes, was a small piece of paper, I opened it and read it out loud to myself;

Babe,

Took the guys back to the festival. I didn't want to bother you. See you when I get back.

Love you,

James xx

Oh ok, I ran over to my bag, Still wrapped in my towel and dug out my iPod touch and placed it in James' dock that was on top of the bedside table. I scanned through my playlists till I found the song I was looking for and put it on. Soon the sound of 'the river' by good charlotte ft M.Shadows and Synyster gates, Filled the room. I walked back over to my bed and began to get dressed while singing along to the song. It was so loud, I didn't realise that someone came into the room, Until I turned around, Top AND bra-less.

OH GOD! Today is not my day. at least when I flashed Joey I had a bra on and he was asleep.

I screamed and covered myself up with my towel. Standing there in the doorway, frozen on the spot, looking at me was......Yep, You guessed it.....Tom.

'OH MY GOD! You scared me' I shouted.

'Oh, I'm sorry. I heard you singing and came to see if you wanted to hang till the guys got back.' He said, Smiling.

'Ummm.....Can I get dressed first?' I asked, Laughing but blushing. I mean, here I am, half naked and TOM DAVIS walked in on me.

God!

I bet he got an eye full. I smiled at the thought, Then mentally slapped myself in the face for thinking that.

'God, Sorry' He said, With his signature Tom Davis 'I can get you into bed' smile and quickly turned around so I could get dressed.

'That's ok'.

I got dressed and turned my music off before walking into the living room and joining him on the sofa.

'So...How come you didn't go with the guys, Then?' I asked, looking at him. He just smiled at me.

'I just couldn't be bothered to go.' He said, laughing. 'They only took the guys back to the festival. Mike and the others are coming back here later.' He explained.

'Oh...Cool' I said, Still smiling at him.

Oh my god, What's wrong with me?

I have a boyfriend but...I was really starting to like Tom. I have to stop myself feeling like this, nothing is going to happen. He doesn't even like me like that.....Oh.....But he's just sooooooo sweet and beautiful and sexy and......

'Katie!?!' Tom shouted, bringing me out of my thoughts. I looked up at him and he was smiling.

'Yeah? sorry!' I said

'No, it's ok. I said, What are you planning on doing today?' He asked, Looking at me.

'Oh...um...I have to pack my stuff. I have to be back home by tonight. I have school tomorrow. YAY!' i said the last bit sarcastically.

'School?'

'Collage'. I corrected myself.

'Oh...When do you have to go?' He asked, looking a bit down

'Oh, Whenever the guys decide they want to leave.'

'What?' he asked, confused.

'They're on a break for about 2 months now, Before heading over to Australia to continue their tour. So, while they are here, They are moving into a hotel in the town where I live so, I can hang with them and see James after Collage and on weekends. What are you guys doing after this, then?' I asked.

'Ah, Cool.' he said. 'Wait, You mean the guys haven't told you?' He asked.

'Told me what' I asked, slightly confused.

'We're on break too, and then we're going to support them on the next bit of their tour so, If you don't mind, You will be seeing a lot more of me and the guys till we head to Australia. So....we are coming with you when the guys move hotels and take you home.' He said smiling.

YES!!

I get to spend more time with him.

'Great!' I said, My smile was so big it reached my eyes. He smiled back, His was just as big.

After that we sat in the hotel room on the sofa for a couple of hours, Talking about random stuff. I got to know him a bit better and he got to know me.

'So......Where's your favourite place in the world?' He randomly asked.

'Well, I've never been, but there are a few places'.

'Really, where?' he asked. He was actually interested in what I had to say.

'Well...Bondi. I would love to go to Bondi.'

'And....Where else?'

'London. I know it might seem a bit silly, but I have always wanted to go there.' I said, smiling.

'Really. It's a great place.' He said, Somehow his smile grew even bigger. 'Well...When we go back home, Come down at some point for a couple of weeks. You can stay with me if you want. My house is big enough.' He offered.

'Well.....That's nice of you to offer but I don't think your girlfriend would like that so much, do you?' I asked. I looked at him and smiled, but he looked confused.

'Girlfriend?' He asked, raising his eyebrows.

'Yeah or wife or whatever she is?'

'What?'

'Michelle.'

'Oh.....We're not together anymore. My only roommates are the guys and KIbble, that's my dog.' he said smiling.

'I know who Kibble is, She's so cute' He looked at me, with an eyebrow raised.

'What? I said, shrugging my shoulders.

'Nothing'

'What do you mean the guys?' I asked.

'Oh.......Mike and his wife are going through some s**t, and the other guys have asked if they can stay at mine for a while after the tour. Don't ask me Why I don't know.' He said smiling.. 'It DOES mean all my guest rooms will be being used. So I think you might have to share with someone.' He said, with a cheeky grin.

'Oh, That's fine. I'm sure Aaron won't mind sharing a bed with me.' I replied.

'WHAT!!!' he shouted.

'Joking. God Tom.' I joked, rolling my eyes.

'My offer still stands, Anytime you wanna check out London, Just give me a call, Ok?'

'Ummmmmm...Yeah sure, But one problem... I don't have your number.' I said.

'Ok, Here' He gave me his number. Oh my god. Tom Davies just gave me his phone number.

'Thank you.' I grinned and put the number in my pocket.

We carried on talking about random stuff for a while, like about his family and mine.

'So, What's it like having the great David Davies as a dad?'

'Ok. I mean, you know, to everyone he is David Davies but to me, he's just.....Dad' He turned around to look at me. 'Why, Are you a Davies fan?' He asked, with a small smile.

'Yeah totally! Of course, I'm a giant Davies fan' He smiled wide at me. I leaned forward 'Your dads pretty cool too.' I whispered and we both shared a laugh.

'So, you said you had a 3-month-old niece?' He asked.

'Yeah, She's so cute, Oh I have pictures of her on my phone, Hold on, I'll show you' I said, getting up from the sofa and heading to the bedroom. I couldn't remember where I put my phone.

Standing in the middle of the room and realised, I put it in my jacket. Bending down to pick it up. It was still on the floor from when I got changed last night. I grabbed my phone, Before heading back out to Tom who was still sat on the sofa, watching me like a Hawk. I sat down next to him, Completely forgetting that my background photo was of him and Liam with their guitars.

Awkward!

'Nice screensaver' he mumbled playfully, I blushed and found a recent photo of Lucy.

'There she is' I said, handing him the phone. The photo was of me holding her as she slept in my arms.

'Well.....Its a beautiful photo of a beautiful girl.' He said. I could hear the smile in his voice.

'Well...She is a beautiful baby' I said, smiling proudly because she really was.

'Yeah she is, But I didn't mean her' He whispered in my ear. I turned around, I didn't realise how close our faces were, our nose were almost touching. He put his one arm around my waist and his other hand on my face, holding my gaze with his. I looked him straight in the eyes and he looked back into mine.

His hand dropped from my face and he leaned back slightly. Leaving me feeling very confused,

'I have something to tell you' He whispered.

'What?' I whispered back.

'Ever since the first time I saw you in the car park at the festival with James, I've liked you!'

'Well, I like you too Too' I told him honestly. He sighed and dropped his head.

'No...I mean, I really like you'

'I know what you meant.' I whispered back, 'And I feel the same way' I looked down at my lap. Tom leaned forward and moved his fingers under my chin, lifting my head up Making me look at him Before he placed it back on my cheek. I locked eyes with him as he moved closer to me.

His eyes shot from mine to my lips before looking into my eyes again. I lifted my hands, placing one on his neck, the other on the back of his head, playing with his long black hair.

I copied his movements as I leaned closer to him and before I knew it, our lips were touching. His were so soft and warm and our kiss was long and loving.

After about a minute, I pulled away to breathe. He placed his forehead against mine breathing heavily. I smiled and I knew he was smiling too.

Oh my god, What did I just do?

This is wrong but yet, I still didn't move away from him. My hands still held him close and his arms still held me.

He pulled away and looked at me, a smile plastered across his face. It was such a cute, Sweet, loving smile. I couldn't help but smile back. He sat back in his seat and just looking at me.

Just as I was about to say something, I heard the elevator ding, Followed by the laughing and chatting of the guys. I froze... Hearing footsteps coming closer and the door opened...
