One In A Million Chapter 1/?
Okay, gang!!! Here is a new story by me and my friend Jordiie!!! And, yes, this story is inspiried by Hannah Montana's song "One In A Millon"! (My iPod was on shuffle and it came on, and the ideas just started flowing!!)
I walked into the Starbucks and looked for my best friends. They were in the back of the coffee shop on the sofa, leaving the middle open for me. I had called them here because I had, once again, and for the last time, broken up with my boyfriend, Ryan. They had already bought me my usual beverage for when I need to drown my sorrows, a venti strawberries and creme frappucchino (not exactly healthy, but it's yummy) and it was sitting on the table, waiting on me as well. I plopped down in between Hayley and Jordie, grabbed my drink took a big sip and then sat it back down on the table and pulled my knees to my chest with my arms wrapped around them.
"Trish, what happened this time?" Hayley asked as I sat down.
Flashback to about an hour ago
"Don't even say it, Ryan! Just save it!" I screamed at him, thought my tears. "Say... what?"
"Oh, don't act all sweet and innocent, with me, mister! I found what you were really doing last night when you canceled our big anniversary date." I didn't even give him a chance to rebut. "Mitchie saw you at the club with Tess last night." Ryan had a confused look on his face. "I don't know what you're talking about, babe." He reached out to try to console me. I jerked away, "Oh, more lies, Ryan? Mitchie said she talked to you. As a matter of fact, she said you were so drunk, you didn't even know who she was and you asked her out and gave her your number."
"Okay, I know that didn't happened, I never give out..." I cut him off, handing him the napkin that he wrote his number on and gave to Mitchie. "Then WHAT is this? AND you were drinking again and you got drunk off your @**!! You know how I feel about that and you don't respect that or me, do you? You know what, Ryan, it's over, and I mean it this time. I'm not taking you back, not after you pulled this stunt AGAIN!!" I threw my copy of his apartment key at him, grabbed the box of my things that I had left at his place and slammed the door behind me.
End Flashback
"NO WAY!! He canceled your anniversary date to go clubbing with her. Well, after everything that's happened, I say good riddance!" Hayley said, once I finished my story. "Thanks, Hayley." The tears started falling again. "Hey, it's gonna be okay. You'll find the right guy." I cut Jordie off. "No, I'm not. I'm tired of trying to make my relationships work. That's it. I'm done. I'm giving up on love and that's that." Sadness and determination were evident in my voice and tears were falling form my eyes like Niagara Falls. After about an hour of Jordie and Hayley trying to convince me to stick it out a little while longer, that the right guy could be right around the corner and I could miss him, my tears had dried and my face had cleared up because I had gone from upset about my breakup to pissed at guys in general really quick. I got up and said, "I'm sorry, guys, but I'm just tired of trying. I'll see you guys around."
As I went to turn around, they both tried to get my attention and I just kept going. As I was turning, my foot got caught on a leg of the table that was in front of the couch we were sitting on and I was heading for a face plant, when two arms stuck out of nowhere and caught me about half way down.
"Whoa, easy does it. Are you okay?" I heard from the arms that caught me. Oh, great, it had to be a guy. I look up and everything changed. I see this really cute guy with a smile to die for and head full of curls that are just screaming to run my fingers though them. I took me a few seconds to find my voice. "You're gor... I mean...I'm okay, thanks."
The handsome stranger helped me back to my feet. "Hi, I'm Jason Gray." He extended his hand to shake mine. I took it and it caused sparks to go off all though out my body and butterflies to go crazy in my stomach. No, stop, you just met the guy, you just got out of a relationship. At most, you're going to be friends. That's it.
"I'm Trisha Davis." "It's nice to meet you, Trisha. So, do you wanna get something to drink?" I could tell that he was kinda nervous. Heck, I was too. I think he likes me too. This might be the best thing to happen to me in a long time. What am I saying? Anyways... After I ordered, he insisted that since it was his idea to get something to drink that he should pay, I tried to argue that I could handle paying for my own drink, but he wouldn't hear it, I finally gave in and let him pay. Now that I think about it, he was being a gentleman. Dang, you don't find many of them anymore. Oh no! What if he's gay?!
We went and sat at a little table in the back of the coffee shop, near where my friends where still sitting there watching us. "Jason, excuse me for just a second while I get rid of some peeping toms." I nodded my head in the direction of where they were sitting and mouthed 'my friends'. He responded," Ahh, no problem. Take your time."
I walked back over to the couch. "Don't you guys have anything better to do that sit around and watch me talk to a really cute guy?" I hissed. I got no response. "Hello?!?! Earth to Jordie and Hayley!!" I waved my hands in front of their faces and it still didn't work. It was time for drastic measures. I placed one hand on either sides of their faces and gave them both a small slap. Hopefully, that will wake them up. They both held their cheek where I had smacked them, "Welcome back to reality. Now, what has got you two so phased?"
They pulled me down so they could whisper in my ear. "Do you have any clue who you are talking to?!?!?!" Jordie almost whisper-squealing in my ear. "Yeah, he said his name was Jason Gray."
"That's The Jason Gray from Connect 3, probably one of the hottest bands ever!!!" Hayley added. "So? Even though he's a superstar doesn't mean that he's not a person too!! Plus, if you two say anything about him being here to anyone, I'll hunt you down. Poor guy probably just came in here to get a drink and relax. He doesn't need to be pummeled by fans and photographers. Look, you know I love you guys, but it's a little weird trying to get to know the guy with you two gawking and eavesdropping." I said, hoping they could take the hint.
Thank God, Jordie got it. "Umm, well, we gotta go." "What? No we..." Jordie gave her a quick elbow to the ribs. "Ow!! What was that for?" Jordie whispered in her ear but I'm probably sure that she was saying that I wanted to be left alone with him. "Oh, yeah, we gotta go now... Do that thing... with that person... at that place..." Hayley finally got it. She grabbed Jordie's arm and pulled her out the door. As they we leaving, Jordie put her hand to her ear and mouthed, "Call me!! Details!" I shook my head as I walked back to the table.
He was on his phone when I got back to the table. He smiled when he noticed me getting back in my seat. "Hey, man, I gotta go. I'll meet up with you later. No, I will not pick you up a brownie... Because I'm gonna be here a while! See ya." He hung up and stashed his phone back in his pocket. "Sorry about that.." we said in unison. We laughed. Wow, he has an amazing laugh. Wait, no, no falling. "What are you sorry for?" I asked. "Well, I was hoping to be done with that phone call before you got back."
"Probably one of your brothers, I imagine?" "Yeah, how'd you guess?" he replied. "Well, just because I didn't fawn over you when I met you doesn't mean I don't know who you are, superstar." I whispered. "Don't worry. I won't say anything and I know my friends won't because they know that I would kill them." There's that amazing laugh again. Argh!! I gotta stop that!! "Yeah, it was Shane. He was looking for me and when he heard that I was here, he tried to get me to bring him back something. You ever killed anyone before?" He asked, only half seriously. I nodded.
"My granny with a hammer." I joked. Man, that laugh is going to be the death on me. After we had spent the next two hours talking, laughing and cutting up, he asked me a question, "So, what are you doing later on tonight?" OMG!! Is he asking me out? I don't have any plans. I know I just broke up with the jerk but there's just something about him that just feels right. "Not really, why do you ask?"
"I was just wondering if you would like to go to dinner and a movie. I would really like to talk to you some more.It's...I don't know what the word is...” “Refreshing?” I interjected. “Yeah! It's nice to actually find someone to talk to who doesn't care about the fame and just wants to talk to Jason not Jason Gray of Connect 3. Do you get what I mean?" Aww, he's really cute when he rambles. Ahh, no. No. Aww, forget it.
"Truth is, I've been following you around for days. This wasn't a coincidental bump in." I said, trying to keep my voice as serious as possible. His eyes got as big as quarters. I couldn't take it anymore, how could I lie to that face. "I'm just kidding, I'm not that great of an actress." He let out a breath and relaxed.
"So anyways, I was wondering... Can I have your number? Can I? Can I have it?" He asked. I let out a giggle and he grinned at me. "I absolutely LOVE that skit, from MadTV, right?" I asked, hoping that I wasn't making a fool out of myself. He nodded. "Yes, I love it too!"
I stuck my hand out, gesturing for him to give me his phone. He pulled out of his pocket and went to hand it to me but pulled it back real fast, "How do I know you're not going to take my phone and run?" I scoffed and rolled my eyes. "Okay, one, why would I take your phone, and two, you can trust me, right?" I added the puppy dog look at the end, just for fun, but apparently, it worked like a charm. He smiled and gladly handed over his phone. As I entered my info into his phone, I noticed that my phone wasn't laying on the table anymore. I looked up to see that it was in his hands. As soon as he had handed me his, he grabbed mine to put his info in. I smiled and shook my head. After we finished, we handed each other's phones back.
"So, where do I need to pick you up?" "I put my address in your phone. Just stick it in your maps app and voilà, instant directions." I grabbed his phone and demonstrated how to do it. "Ahh, so that's how it works." "Yup. and you're picking me up at what time?" "5 o'clock. Why?" "It's almost 4 now." I stated, almost panicked. I didn't have enough time to get ready. "Well, do you have a car here?" "No, I walked 7 blocks to get here." "Well, I can solve that problem." He stood up and pulled his keys from is pocket and helped me out of my chair. "After you."
"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!! It's JASON GRAY!!!!" We heard some girl scream. "Oh, no. Run!!"
