I'll Swim the Ocean for You

Chapter 8

“Blaire, we’re stopped, Metro needs Mason.” Bryan said walking into the lounge.
“Okay, I love you Mason.” I said hugging him and pecking his lips.
“I love you too.” He said hugging me tight and kissing my forehead. “I’ll text you.” He whispered in my ear. I giggled and he smiled his toothy grin.
“Okay.” I whispered. Mason let go and started walking towards the door. He waved bye to me and Bryan and we waved back as he went to the Metro Station bus. I grabbed my phone and started texting Hayley back.
‘Hey. Sorry, me and Mason we’re hanging out. Who did you want to talk about?’ I texted her. I leaned my head back on the couch, and I pulled my legs on the couch and covered up with a blanket. My phone sounded and I hit a button to cause the song to stop.
‘Okay, so what happened ;) Oh, Josh. I really like him, should I ask him out?’
My jaw dropped and a small ‘aw’ came from my lips.
“What?” Bryan asked trying to look at my phone.
“Nothing.” I responded quickly and ran to my bunk climbing into it. I pulled the curtain back and locked it and texted Hayley back.
‘Nothing over PG13 rated. xD. Go for it, from what I can tell he really likes you.’
I pressed the send button and I covered up and got my neon green ipod. I turned it on, and set my phone on vibrate. I went through the songs on my ipod, and decided on listening to Metro Station. I hit the button to start at the beginning of their album, and started listening to the music. My phone vibrated and I hit the button to looked at the text Hayley sent me.
‘Oohhh, that’s what she said ;). Haha jplay. But I’m going to ask him. Wish me luck :/.’
I smiled knowing she’d listen to me.
‘Haha. I think you’re the only one laughing at that. Okay, good luck, and if he says no, tell him to call me :O then he’ll get it.’
I pressed send and leaned my head on my pillow and let out a breath.
My phone vibrated again and I took a deep breath and looked at the text.
‘Hey Blaire, its Josh. I have a question.’
‘What did ya need Joshie? :)’
I waited for his text, I knew Hayley was thinking of something to say to him.
‘Should I ask Hayls out?’
My jaw dropped and I almost fell out of my bunk laughing. That was very ironic.
‘Of course! You guys would be adorkable together :)’
I got a text almost instantly from Josh.
‘Thank you, and I’m not a dork :P’
‘Yes you are, because if you weren’t you wouldn’t say you weren’t, because that would be where I say oh no you’re not a dork Josh. Duh! :)’
‘Okay that’s girl talk? I’m going to ask her. I’ll text you later and tell you what she says.’
‘Okies, Good luck Josh.’
Then I sighed. I’m playing cupid. A lot. Then my phone vibrated and I looked at it wondering if 5 milliseconds was ‘later’ to Josh. It was a text from Mason.
‘Hey honey :). How are ya?’ I smiled just thinking of him and quickly responded.
‘Hey :) I’m good, I just played Cupid again :O’
‘Really? With who?’
‘Josh Farro and Hayley Williams. :P’
‘Yay! :) So what’s going on in the BLG bus?’
‘I haven’t the faintest. I’m pretty much zoned out. What did MS need?’
‘They just needed to give me the setlist. I’ll be back in a millisecond. I love you.’
‘Okay, ily2 :)’
5 minutes later Mason walked through the door, and started talking to Bryan.

MASON’S POV.

I walked onto the Metro Station bus, and turned to look at my three friends sitting on the couch.
“What did you need?” I asked them.
“We needed to give you the setlist.” Ant said.
“And we want to know what’s up with you and Blaire.” Blake added.
“Okay, and nothing, we’re just a normal teenage couple.” I said shrugging my shoulders, “And I like it like that, so why does it matter?”
“Oh no reason.” Ant added.
“We just wanted to know, here’s the setlist.” Blake said handing me the setlist for the next day.
“Okay thanks, and where’s Nikki?”
“She’s staying on Panic At The Disco’s bus with Brendon.” Blake answered, obviously upset that Nikki was dating another guy so soon.
“Oh Okay, I wanted to let Blaire know so she wouldn’t freak out. We’ll I’m going to get back to the bus. I’ll see you guys later?”
“Yeah. Bye Mason.”
“Bye.” I said jumping down the steps and closing the bus door behind me. After I got a couple feet away the Metro Station bus was already pulling out of the parking lot we were in. I got out my phone and decided to text Blaire. I was really chilly outside, and I was just about to freeze, but I still texted her like nothing was wrong, and it got better.
‘Hey honey :). How are ya?’ I smiled just thinking of her and my phone suddenly vibrated.
‘Hey :) I’m good, I just played Cupid again :O’
‘Really? With who?’
‘Josh Farro and Hayley Williams. :P’ I couldn’t help but smile. I wanted them together so bad.
‘Yay! :) So what’s going on in the BLG bus?’
‘I haven’t the faintest. I’m pretty much zoned out. What did MS need?’ I laughed at her use of words, for some reason, but I didn’t care.
‘They just needed to give me the setlist. I’ll be back in a millisecond. I love you.’
‘Okay, ily2 :)’ I smiled, and my heart fluttered as I read it.
I unlocked the bus door and closed it behind me as the bus started up. The sudden heat felt so good, as I walked over to Bryan.
“Hey Bryan, where’s Blaire?”
“She’s in her bunk.” Bryan said scribbling some words on a sheet of paper.
“Okay thanks.” I walked to her bunk and opened the curtain to her bunk. She looked over and I noticed she was shaking from the cold. The heat on the bus must’ve turned off while I was gone. I climbed into the bunk and she moved a bit so I could fit. I closed the curtain and locked it and looked over at Blaire. She had the covers all the way up to her eyes and I couldn’t help but smile.
“Cold?”
“A bit.” She said and I could tell she was smiling from the look of her eyes.
“I could tell.” I said wrapping an arm around her. I grabbed part of the covers and slung it over me and we both curled up and fell asleep, with her head in the crook of my neck with one of her arms on my chest. I still had my arm wrapped around her, and I kissed her forehead and we fell asleep.
--------FF--------

We woke up an hour later, which made it about 5 pm. I looked over and Blaire was still asleep. I let her sleep for a couple more minutes and then shook her wake.
“Good morning sunshine.” I said smiling.
“It’s 5pm. Good afternoon sunshine would be more appropriate.” She said checking her watch and smiling up at me.
“Well then good afternoon sunshine.” I said stressing afternoon.
“Thank you.” She said smiling and kissing my cheek. “So when’s this award show?”
I had seriously forgotten about the award show.
“It’s at 10pm.”
“Okay hun.” We basically just laid there until 7pm. Then we started watching the television that was in Blaire’s bunk. We watched television until 8. And that’s when Blaire said she was going to get her shower and get ready. I kissed her and she said I could just stay in her bunk. Then she disappeared.

BLAIRE’S POV.

I jumped down from the bunk and found my favorite dress. I got all of my shower stuff together, knocked on the bathroom door and waited a couple minutes. After I waited a while I walked into the bathroom, and went to take my shower. I took my shower got changed put a bath robe around the dress and tied it. I wanted to wait until I got my hair done to take the bath robe off. I put my hair up in a towel, and walked out with my previous clothes and my shampoo and conditioner. I slung my stuff into my bag, which was on an extra bunk we had, and went back to the bunk. I climbed up and peeked in. Mason was almost asleep. I got a spray bottle and filled it with ice water and with Bryan, Paul, Johnny, and Martin all following me I went back to my bunk. I stuck the end through the crack and squirted the ice cold water on his face. He jumped, and I moved out of the way and everyone hid. Martin and Paul went to Mason’s, Johnny went to his own, and me and Bryan hid in Bryan’s bunk. Everyone was in on the prank and what was so funny was Mason came to Bryans bunk and was surprised me and Bryan we’re playing a intimidating game of go fish.
“What just happened?” he asked me.
“What are you talking about?”
“The water. Cold water. On my face.” He said.
“Oh you mean this water.” Bryan said picking up the squirt bottle and squirting Mason in the face. I giggled and wiped the water off his face, and jumped out of the bunk and closed Bryan’s curtain. Mason and I walked to the back lounge, and we talked for a bit.
“Whose idea was that exactly?” Mason asked me with a smirk.
“Mine.” I said. We both smiled and I pecked his lips as I went to go fix my hair and makeup. After I finished I walked out and went to the back lounge and sat on the couch. Mason looked up from a lyric book and moved an acoustic guitar over away from where we were.
"Wow Blaire that dress is gorgeous, but not as gorgeous as you.” He said kissing my on my lips. “I’m going to go get ready.” He said walking to get changed. He came back with his hair brushed and had on a simple outfit. Dark skinny leg jeans and a white button up with a tie. I walked over to him and pecked his lips and he hugged me tight and I wanted him to never let go.
