Chapter 14

(Kevin's POV)

Everyone is finishing up getting ready. I head into the living room and announce, "Hey Everyone, it's time to go. I rented a limo for us!"

"What?" Mitch asks.

"Yea, I didn't want us drinking and driving tonight and this way, we can just sit back and have a good time!" I say.

"Thanks Kevin, that's awesome!" Mitch says.

Everyone comes out and we are all looking great! Everyone is smiling, so that's always good too.

We head out to the limo and pile into the car. We head off to dinner.

(Kirstie's POV)

I need to talk to Emma and let her know what Mitch saw. I tried to get Mitch to talk to Emma before we left, but he wanted to wait. He didn't want to ruin the evening, with everything else going on.

I look over at Emma and see that she and Scott are sitting side by side talking. I smile and think that they actually look like they both like each other a lot and I nudge Avi and shoot my eyes to them. Avi leans over and says, "Ah, do you think that he'll actually tell her how he feels about her?"

"I hope so," I say.

"Well, it took us a long time, Kirstie, so, just give it time." Avi says.

"Very funny, Avi," I say.

"I couldn't just come up to you the very first day of meeting you and say, "Hi, my name is Avi, and I think that you are the most beautiful woman I have ever met in my life and I think that I could love you one day."

I turn quickly to Avi and say, "Did you really think that?"

He smiles and kisses me on the cheek and then pulls me for a hug.

I look at Avi and whisper in his ear, "I falling for you more and more every day."

I lean back and he pulls me in for a kiss and we are again, in our own little world.

(Scott's POV)

I'm glad that Emma and I are sitting by each other; I really need to figure out how to tell this girl how I feel. I tease her, "So, are you going to sing a song?"

"I don't know. I might need some liquid encouragement first. You should sing though." Emma says.

"Any special requests?" I say with a smile.

Emma ponders this and says, "Hmmm, I'll have to think about that one."

"Just say the word, I'll sing it." I say.

I lean back and put my hand down and touch Emma's hand. I take hold of her hand and softly run my fingers across her hand and my thumb against her wrist. She looks at me and smiles and leans into me. I lean into her and whisper in her ear, "You look beautiful by the way."

She giggles softly and says, "Thanks Scott, you look great too."

I take her hand and interlock my fingers and raise it up to my lips and kiss her hand gently. I place our hands between us and rest them on my lap.

(Emma's POV)

Oh my goodness! Did Scott just call me beautiful and kiss my hand! Is he actually flirting with me! Breathe Em… Breathe Em….

(Mitch's POV)

I am trying my best to keep Olivia busy with me so that Emma and Scott can have a moment alone, Scott will owe me for this. He might think that he's fooling everyone, but I know he has a thing for Emma. I look over at Olivia and say, "So, have you had a good time today?"

"Yes, Mitch, you know, I might be able to stay for the summer with y'all. I know that y'all will be here for about two months. I think that I can work it out to stay. Don't you think that will be amazing!" Olivia blurts out.

I look around for backup and don't really know how to respond. I feel like Olivia just invited herself to stay for the summer. I look at her as sincerely as I can and I say, "Olivia, I think that a week is good, you know. We are planning on having other guests come and say as well. I'm sorry. But, I think that Saturday, we will need your room back."

I tell you, Olivia seriously, looks me dead in the eye, and says, "Well, I might be a guest in someone's bedroom by then and you'll have your guest room. You never know, Mitch, I might find love in this house."

I look at Olivia like she has two heads. I sit back and laugh and say, "I have to hand it to you, you definitely don't give up, do you?"

"Never," Olivia says almost in a scary tone.

I laugh nervously and glance over at Scott and Emma. I see Scott kiss Emma's hand and in that moment, I know that my thoughts are true. He is totally smitten. I knew it.

At Dinner…

(Third Person POV)

Everyone piles around the table. Scott pulls the chair out for Emma and she sits. He sits beside her. Then Olivia runs over and sits right beside him. Mitch sits next to Emma and Kristie, Avi, and Kevin sit across the table. The waitress comes by and takes everyone's order. They eat and enjoy each other's company. Kirstie motions for Emma.

(Kirstie's POV)

"Em," I say.

Emma looks up and smiles and says, "What?"

"Can I talk to you?" I say.

Emma follows me to the bathroom and we talk. I make sure that we are alone and we sit on the sofa in the lounge area of the restroom.

Emma looks at me nervously, "You are scaring me, what's going on?"

"I have to tell you something, but I don't want to you get upset," I say.

"Just tell me," Emma says.

"I think that Olivia read your journal earlier today when you left to go to the house. She was reading it and Mitch saw her. She denied it at the time, but, just be careful." I say.

"Do you really think that she read it?" Emma says.

"Well, if she read it, then she knows my secret," Emma added.

"I don't think that she will say anything, I just wanted you to know," I say.

"On the other hand, you and Scott seem to be different?" I ask.

"I don't know, something just kind of clicked, we haven't said anything out loud, but we are definitely getting closer," Emma says with a smile.

"I'll talk to Olivia later, I want to have fun tonight," Emma says.

"Sounds good to me, I'm going to head back to the table. See you in a few," I say.

I head back to the table so Emma could freshen up. We were only gone for a few minutes. When I came back to the table, I was surprised to see Olivia practically sitting in Scott's lap. I shoot a look over to Scott who is trying to get out of the situation. "Olivia, did you lose your seat?"

She turned to me laughing saying, "No, I was just taking a selfie with Scott."

Scott moves Olivia off his lap and says, "Okay, Olivia, you got your photo."

Scott didn't seem pleased and I looked at Olivia knowing exactly this little game she was playing. The girls and the games they play. That was no way of getting any guy. Thank God it was me to came to the table first and not Emma.

(Olivia's POV)

Scott will open up to me eventually. He'll see just how cute we are when I post this photo to twitter. I post the photo to twitter and tag Scott with #myboy. I put my phone back in my purse and I wait for him to see. I know that he will love the photo.

(Mitch's POV)

I feel my phone buzz and I pull it out and Kirstie says, "No phones at dinner."

I tell her, "Okay, I'll put it away."

It's a little rule we have for dinner, no phones. I see Emma come back to the table and I smile. She smiles too and she looks really happy. She sits by Scott who seems very happy that she's back.

(Scott's POV)

"Thank goodness you are back," I say reaching for Emma's hand.

"I was only gone for a few minutes, what did I miss?" Emma says.

"You don't even want to know," I say.

(Third Person POV)

The food arrives and everyone enjoys the meal and orders drinks. Everyone relaxes a bit and shares stories from the tour. They are all laughing and having a great time. They pay the bill and head back into the limo and head off to the Karaoke bar. They arrive and are all pumped and excited to sing some songs. They grab a table down in front and Mitch starts it off. He stands up and does a great version of, I Will Survive. The entire bar sings along and Mitch gets a standing ovation.

(Emma's POV)

I lean over to Scott, "So, what are you going to sing for me?"

Scott smiles and says, "Did you pick a song?"

"You pick one, I like anything you sing." I say.

Scott walks up to the mic and tells the DJ what he wants. He starts to sing, All of Me.

I can't help but smile at his beautiful voice. I feel like he's singing just to me. We lock eyes throughout the song and I feel my heart race.

Kirstie nudges me and whispers, "I think it's safe to say, he has a thing for you."

I continue to listen to the song and when he's done, we all stand and cheer. He comes up to me and I say, "That was amazing, Scott."

He leans into me and says, "It was for you."

I smile and wrap my arm around his waist.

(Olivia's POV)

Okay, so, Scott sang this song, All of Me, and it seemed that he was looking at Em the whole time. This was going to tough; I think that I should be with him, not her. I know what I'm going to do; I'll just show Em the little photo I took. Scott didn't know it at the time, but I made a kissy face towards him. We look like we are together in the photo. Emma will see the picture and know that I'm the one who should be with him.

(Mitch's POV)

My phone buzzes again and I look at it this time. It's a text from Scott's sister, Zoey.

Text Message:

Who is the girl in Scott's picture with the #myboy?

I look at Twitter really quick and look at the picture and pull Scott aside.

"Scott, come here now," I say.

Scott looks at me and says, "I was having a moment, what is it?"

I show him my phone and he looks at it. He rolls his eyes and there is a photo of Olivia making a kissy face towards Scott with the #myboy. "Seriously, this girl must be stopped."

(Scott's POV)

This really pisses me off. Olivia had no right to post a photo of me on twitter like that making people think that we are together. I turn and see Olivia sharing her photo, the one that I just saw, with Emma.
