America's Suitehearts

“I, uh…sure?” I stammered, naturally feeling a little uneasy from being suddenly grabbed while in the shower. He chewed on his lower lip for a second while he stared at the ground before he finally spoke.
“I was just thinking that…well, I really like you and uh, I-I guess I was wondering if...er, I was kinda hoping you liked me too and, you know, if you do then I was curious if…if you maybe wanted to make this a steady thing…?” CC stuttered shyly as he looked up at me, his cheeks a little pink
“Wh-what?” I asked in disbelief. He couldn’t be serious, could he? No, there’s no way. Rockstars don’t fall in love with average everyday girls. Juliet was beautiful and talented, Ella was gorgeous and funny, the last girl Ashley had dated had been a pornstar, hell, even Sammi was pretty cool (that is, until she cheated on Jinxx a couple months after they got married), and CC, I mean, have you seen some of the girls he’s dated? They were beautiful and skinny and confident, whereas I had fucking gargantuan hips, was awkward as hell, and barely had a solitary clue what I was doing last night in bed, not to mention that even on my best days I look like roadkill compared to them.
”Well, in short, I guess I’m asking if you’ll be my girl?” he asked with a hopeful little grin. System error! Does not compute!
“Uhh, you mean, like…your Texas girl or something?” I asked stupidly. I didn’t think he’d be the kind of guy to do that sort of thing, but I found it a bit more believable than the thought that he could possibly want me in that way.
“No,no! Not like that!” he said quickly with a slight bit of panic in his voice. “I mean, like, my everywhere, all-the-time, one-and-only girl.” He continued gently. I’m not entirely sure what happened next, but the next thing I knew I was lying down on the bottom of the tub with CC crouched over me, holding my head up, and the water was off. The actual fuck? Did I…Did I just fucking faint? No, no no, nuh-uh, no way did I fucking faint in the shower…I probably just…slipped and fell. Yeah, let’s go with that because I totes did NOT faint. “Shit, are you alright?” asked CC worriedly. I blinked at him a few times until the little fuzz balls dancing around my vision dissipated and I could see him clearly. I nodded as he helped me sit up. Once he was certain that I wasn’t concussed, he began to grin. “Just so you know for future reference, you can’t faint and die right after I ask you to be my girlfriend, okay? It’s just not allowed.” He chuckled
“Firstly, I did not faint, I just slipped, and secondly, what do you mean ‘for future reference’? How many times are you planning to ask me that?” I asked with a smile as he took my hands in his
“Pffft! Yeah, right! You so fainted!” He laughed as he helped me up, however, in an ironic turn of events, CC’s foot slipped which sent both of us back to the ground with me landing right on his chest.
“Oh, God! Are you okay?!” I asked frantically as I sat up to get my weight off his chest. He blinked in surprise a couple times before he started to chuckle which soon grew into laughter.
“Now THAT was slipping!” he laughed. I rolled my eyes at him but grinned. There was something about him, I’m quite sure what it was, maybe it was the way his eyes lit up when he laughed, or maybe how his smile seemed to brighten up the entire room, but for the first time in…well, ever I felt comfortable being in the company of a guy with romantic intentions. I was usually terrible with guys and relationships, seriously, my friends have started holding bets on how spectacularly my anxiety and awkwardness will ruin things whenever they hear that someone is interested in me. Fuck, my longest relationship was with Kyle and it only lasted that long because I was afraid to leave. But with CC, it was like he had cast some kind of magic spell that cancelled out all of that anxiety so I could actually act like a human being around him. Everything felt so right with him which left me without a doubt about what I said next.
“Hey, if I’m not allowed to slip and die after you ask me to be your girlfriend then you aren’t allowed to slip and die right before I say yes, alright? It’s only fair.” I giggled. It took him a second to realize exactly what I’d said, but once it hit him, the biggest, goofiest smile that I’d ever seen stretched across his face.
“You really mean it? Like, on the for reals?” I nodded with an equally dorky smile to which he then placed both of his hands on either side of my face, brought me down to his lips, and gave me one of the most passionate kisses of my life. Of course, as soon as I’d kissed him back, Alex barged in.
“Hey Hailz, I forgot to ask you earlier, but do you want me to…HOLY SHITBALLS YOU’RE NAKED!! OH GOD!” he shouted as he shielded his eyes which made me notice that the shower curtain had gotten pulled back during our little slip fest. Fucking perfect. I quickly pulled away from CC and tried to calm him down.
“It’s not what it looks like, we both just slip and fell, nothing’s going on.” I said, not realizing how unlikely that sounded until it was already out of my mouth
“MY EYES! THEY BURN! I’M BLIIIIIIND!” he carried on, ignoring me
“Dude, relax, I’m sure you’ve seen naked people before.” CC chimed in
“Wait…HE’S IN THERE WITH YOU?! JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL!!” he groaned as he clawed at his eyes and turned away. I sighed before I stood up, grabbed my towel, and covered myself.
“Come on, Honey, why don’t you go sit in the living room and find your happy place?” I said gently as I put my hand on his shoulder and guided him out to the living room
“I was going to offer to take you guys to the hotel, but I don’t think I can look at either of you right now…” he said as he plopped down on the sofa with his hand over his eyes
“It’s okay, you go ahead and we’ll just take the bus.” I said as I gave his shoulder a pat. He nodded with a slight moan as I turned back and headed to my room. Drama queen.
**CC’s POV**
I got up and out of the shower right after Hailz walked Alex out. I normally would’ve been a little peeved about something like that happening, but I was too happy at the moment to give a fuck who caught me and my new girlfriend making out in the shower. I smiled to myself as I grabbed a towel that was hanging on the door and dried my hair. I liked being able to call her that now. I walked into her room and started to put my clothes back on, but was interrupted by my phone vibrating on her nightstand. I quickly checked it and nearly lost it at how many texts I had from the guys.
Ashley: Duuuuude wake the hell up!
Jake: We’re going to get breakfast now
Andy: You awake yet?
Ashley: Come on! We’re all hungry!
Jinxx: Just come meet us when you’re ready
Evidently they don’t know I’m not there…
Ashley: CC! COME QUICK! THEY’RE GIVING AWAY FREE PUGS!!
Jake: We’re almost done, you better hurry
Ashley: Hey, your girlfriend is down here
I smirked. I highly doubt that
Jinxx: You okay? You never miss breakfast
Andy: Are you alright? You want us to bring you something?
Jake: We’re coming up to check on you
Ashley: We come bearing gifts of eggs and bacon, let us in
Andy: Dude, open up
Jinxx: What the hell, CC, just open up
(4 missed calls)
Ashley: ANSWER YOUR DAMN PHONE
Jake: We know you’re in there, just open the door
I started chuckling. No, you don’t know
Jinxx: Dude, this isn’t funny
Jake: Just let us know you’re alright in there
Ashley: Make some kind of noise if you’re in there, stay silent if you’re secretly gay
Andy: OPEN DOOR
Ashley:…That’s some surprising new information, CC
“What’s so funny?” asked Hailz as she walked back in and grabbed some clean clothes from her dresser
“Andy and them have been texting me thinking I’m still in my room and now they’re getting mad that I won’t open the door and let them in.” I snickered as I looked at her
“Well, why don’t you just tell them that you’re not there?” she suggested as she pulled a T-shirt on and wiggled into some skinny jeans. My phone buzzed another four times in my hand.
Jinxx: OPEN
Jake: THE
Ashley: FUCKING
Andy: DOOR!
“Hmm…Nah, I wanna see how long it takes them to figure it out.” I said with a mischievous chuckle as I set my phone down and went back to getting dressed. Hailz put her hand over her heart and faked a gasp.
“CC! I never knew you were so evil!” she said dramatically as she walked back into bathroom then grinned at me and added “I think I like it.”
“Oh yeah?” I said as I finished up and she began put on some makeup “Well, you haven’t seen anything yet!” I slowly crept up on her and yelled “RAWR!” as I grabbed her from behind, making her jump and squeal. “Haha! Got you!” I said as I rested my chin on her shoulder and gave her a little kiss on the neck as she giggled.
“What are you? A lion or something?” she laughed
“Yes. Grrr!” I said as I nuzzled her neck. She giggled and kissed my forehead then went back to putting on her eyeliner.
“You ready to go?” she asked once she was done
“Ready when you are.” I said as I let her go and went to put my shoes and jacket on. After she had shrugged on a sweater and put on some boots, I gave Mikey and Annie some goodbye belly rubs and then we set off on our journey to the hotel.

Notes

So, I know I promised a chapter from Mikey or Annie's POV if we hit 50 subscribers, but it just doesn't fit with the story right now, I just need to get two or three more updates out of the way and then I promise it will happen :)
