Capturing You
You'll never know
I finally arrive in L.A after a long eleven hour flight from the UK. I sigh heavily while checking the time it’s eleven at night. Damn I thought to myself this is going to take some adjusting. I walk along to the bagging area and swiftly collect my suitcase it sure was heavy. I drag it along struggling with the tiredness that was slowly hitting me and taking over my drowsy body. I slowly drag myself through the crowds of people towards the exit looking for one of the boys. Andy had arranged for one of the guys to meet me at the airport but I still haven’t seen a glimpse of anyone familiar.
I stood there waiting in the evening breeze the panic setting in. I slid on my phone from my purse hoping to text Andy when I felt a pair of arms slowly wrapping themselves around my small waist. I scream and kick the person in the privates with my cowboy boots only to turn round and see Ashley squirming on the floor in agony. “Oh damn, I’m so sorry Ashley I thought you were some creep.” I mumble guilty while rubbing his arm trying to calm him down. “You looked cold standing there,” he spoke finally after the pain in his lower region I assume had calmed down “Sorry if I scared you.” He smiles weakly. “No, I’m sorry Ashley.” I whisper pecking him on the tip of his nose. A big smile soon appears upon his face. I slowly stand back my muscles aching severely now from the flight. I offer Ashley my hand “Here come on.” He quickly pulls himself to his feet. I noticed he was also wearing cowboy boots and hat. “A cowboy, huh?” I smile at him. A wide grin appears on his face “You must be my cowgirl then.” He says while pointing to my boots then places his hat upon my head gently trying not to mess my hair up. I blush deeply looking away from him towards the car park “Come on then cowgirl.” He teases while picking up my suitcase and heading off in the direction of the car park in deep conversation.
I woke up the next morning tucked up in an unfamiliar double bed. The bed was remarkably comfy the sheets were a snow leopard print. The walls of the room were red with a feature black wall. I look around to see a mirror with pictures of naked woman doing all kind acts upon it. Oh god I thought remembering the day I first met the boys and Ashley letting me borrow his playboy pen. I’m in Ashley apartment of all the guys! I slowly sit up and slip out of bed trying not to wake the perverted cowboy. I look around at the room it had a CD holder on the wall shockingly he had a great taste in music.
I look at myself in the interestingly decorated mirror. Why yes that is sarcasm. I didn’t look too bad apart from the bed hair obviously. I snuck out my bedroom walking round his well decorated apartment looking for the bathroom only to come crashing into the man himself. “Sorry again, ignore my clumsiness.” I sigh looking at him his hair was all over the place and he was only in boxers. What man just wears boxers with house guests? Idiot. “Ha, it’s alright” he smirks looking down to look at me. Yes I’m shorter than him but only by a bit. “Where’s the bathroom in this place?” I ask quietly just wanting to get out of yesterday’s clothes. “Over there.” He says pointing to a door with a sign with “bathroom” on it. I slap my forehead damn he must think I’m a right idiot already! “Thanks.” I mumble quickly walking into the bathroom locking the door behind me. I’m so so stupid.
I jump in the shower letting the water greet my skin lovingly. I love showers. After a few minutes I turn the shower off wrapping one of Ashley soft black towels around my damp body. I quickly dried and fixed my hair then moved on to make up. I walk out the bathroom to see Ashley on the sofa watching something on TV with a bowl of cereal on his lap while two fluffy little dogs beg by his feet. “No, my food.” Ashley tells the two pups I couldn’t help but giggle at them. Ashley looks up at me and wolf whistles sending a blush darting to cheeks. “Oh shh you, eat your food before they do!” I laugh walking back into the bedroom where I slept that night. I pull out my suitcase and open it looking through clothes before deciding on this and throwing it on.
I walk back on the bedroom and sat on the sofa beside Ashley. “Sorry for falling asleep on you last night was exhausted after the long flight.” I explain with a nervous giggle. “Don’t worry about it, besides you look cute asleep.” He spoke with a mouthful of food. Urgh disgusting! “Didn’t your parents teach you not to eat with your mouth closed?” I snap at him disgusted. He looks round at me quickly his face had a mixture of shock and hurt. “They died when I was young.” He mumbles looking back down at his food with tears slipping down his face. “I’m so so sorry, I didn’t know.” I babble I couldn’t help but feel sorry for him he was only eating with damn mouth open and now look what you’ve done I thought to myself. I gently take the bowl out his lap and pull him towards me hugging him. “I’m so sorry.” I whisper while tearing up myself. “It’s okay,” I hear him mutter his head now buried in lap while I gently play with his hair “You didn’t know.”
Later on that day the band had a meeting at Andy's they needed me to come along as I was now a part of the tour. I think Ashley secretly wanted some support too still feeling tearful from earlier on in the day. “You ready to go?” I sigh I feel so guilty but I didn’t know. I’m just so stupid. “Yeah.” He mumbles flicking off the TV then picking up his car keys. I grab his leather jacket for him “Here you go.” “Thanks,” he spoke gently then quickly kisses the tip of my nose leaving me startled “Stop worryin’, I’m okay.” He finishes. “I’m not worrying!” I exclaim. He turns back round giving me an “I don’t believe you look.” “Yes, yes you are.” He sighs walking out the door towards his car we both got in and rode in awkward silence to Andy’s.
Ashley pulls up outside Andy’s looks like we’re the first ones there. Andy flies out the front door as soon as we arrive. I climb out the passenger feet onto the sidewalk only to have Andy snatch me of my feet swinging me round. “Welcome to L.A my little sparrow!” he shouts excitedly then starts jumping up and down with me still in his arms in the air. “Andy put me down this instant before I decorate your lovely face with my breakfast!” I demand while squealing like a child every time he jumps scared out my mind he’ll drop me on my face. “That’s not very nice Sparrow.” Andy pouted staring up at me. “Neither is calling me Sparrow, dicksack” I reply then proceed in sticking my tongue out at him. “Everyone has to ….have a nickname on the bus.” Ashley tries to explain through his laughing. “So what’s yours my cowboy?” I smile looking at Ashley his hair was blowing in the wind but he kept trying to sort it out in the car mirror. It wasn’t working. “Purdyporn” he sighs giving up with his hair and slumping against the car door. I burst out in laughter “Really?!” I shout out. “Haha, yes he’s obsessed with women and his last name is actually purdy.” Andy chuckles while setting me back on ground. Ah Earth. “Good enough explanation.” I say nodding I couldn’t help but smile at Ashley. We all walk into Andy’s house along a light corridor there’s pictures on the wall with Andy and very pretty lady in. “Who’s she?” I ask Ashley who was walking behind me. “Juliet, Andy’s girlfriend.” Ashley reply’s as we walk into the kitchen.
Soon enough the rest of the guys arrive and we sit down in the living room playing scrabble, drinking whiskey and discussing the upcoming tour. Who knew rock stars play scrabble? I thought giggling to myself. “So where is Ivy sleepin’” CC asks bouncing in his chair we we’re all getting bored waiting for Ashley to come up with a word. “What are the sleeping arrangements already?” I ask seeing where there’s space for me. “Well,” Jinxx started looking at the others “Me, Jake and Andy share the large room with Jon, no space there.” Jinxx reveals. “Ah.” I nod taking it in. “The merch crew share the smallest room.” CC announces. “The only space is with me and CC, if you can put with the craziness” Ashley chuckles we all quickly join in. “I don’t have much choice here, it’s going to be crazy whatever room I got!” I smile widely. “I’ll be happy to share with you two crazy men.” I add quickly. The guys cheer. CC stands up jumping around on the sofa only to come crashing down on Jinxx. “OW!” they both shout. “Never knew CC liked being on top.” I tease Ashley remembering that’s what he said to me when we fell on the floor together. Ashley looks at me with his eyebrows raised and great big grin on his face he leant over and whispers in my ear “You’ll never know.”
