The boys went backstage and me and Aaron waited in their dressing room. Moments later they burst in, drenched in sweat, scaring me and Aaron half to death

"Damn guys! You scared the shít out of me!" I cursed holding a hand to my heart dramatically

Ashton removed his very sweaty black vest top, revealing his abs and muscles. Aaron's jaw dropped open but he quickly recovered so no one would notice, but I already had

"How was the show?" Aaron asked trying to distract himself from a topless Ashton who was wiping sweat from his torso

"It was the best one yet in my opinion" Michael beamed, grinning my way, unbuttoning his flannel... damn

"I agree" Calum said fixing his hair in the mirror and looking for a top to wear

"So what do you guys wanna do after were changed and stuff?" Luke questioned pointing a can of hairspray at us as he spoke

"Uhm, anything?" I answers receiving some disappointing looks in response

"Come on, think of something you want to do with your favourite band" Calum said pulling a tight top on

"I've gotta go and get my drum sticks off my drums, I'd be sad if I left them" he jogged off into the busy corridor

"How about we go to the beach?" Aaron asked, I could tell he was still wary around them, like they weren't real, but he was getting used to them

"The beach?" I questioned

"At 10:30pm?" Luke checked his watch

"Yeah, why not? it's awesome and so calm, there won't be barley anyone there" Aaron explained. We all nodded at the idea and decided to go

Once the boys had finished getting ready, we got a car to the beach. We all got out of the car and stepped onto the promenade

The crisp sea air flowed through my hair and the waves crashed softly against the shore. I had never been to the beach so late before, it's so breathtaking

Michael began to remove his shoes, so the boys followed, and so did I

"Come on!" Michael ran onto the beach like a child and ran half way down onto the sand

I ran after him, feeling so alive. I'd never felt so happy to be at the beach. It was good for the boys too because the beach was desolate at this time, so they wouldn't be noticed

The boys followed me and Michael as our legs met the sea, and we were engulfed in cool waves. Michael looked at me and smiled so I returned, he took me hand and pulled me close to him

I stumbled slightly as he did so. He shook his head and giggled "your so cute" he whispered, using one hand to caress my cheek

It felt so good to be in his arms, what I've dreamt of for so long, and now it's not a dream, it's real

"Are you two going to kiss?" Calum questioned splashing us with water. I couldn't answer because I didn't know what to say

"Are we?" Michael turned to me. My heart was racing and I could feel everyone's eyes on me. Just say 'yes' Ariana...

"Uhm," suddenly I had became speechless, which was never like me "yes, yes we are"

I managed the words and smiled. His hand moved from my cheek to my hair and he pulled my face to his. Our lips connected and I felt a chill through my body. It felt so right

"Woahh!" Ashton shouted as he came running down the beach. He looked exhausted, sweat was dripping from his nose and rolling down his forehead

"Where have you been?" Luke questioned splashing the water at Calum

"I've been looking for you guys!" he exclaimed, I wasn't entirely sure if he was píssed at us or not, but I wouldn't blame him if he was

"Did you come in the car with us?" Calum said splashing Luke back

"What? You got the car here?" He rolled his eyes. I'm guessing we left him at the arena... oops

We all looked at each other and started laughing and Ashton just flipped us off

"I'm sorry bro" The guys patted him on the back. Then he got back to us, and motioned to us

"What's going on then?"

Me and Michael looked at each other, unsure ourselves what we were. We're we dating?

"We're-" I started

"We're not dating yet" Michael finished. I sighed in relief that we were both on the same page

Everyone was in such a great mood; even Ashton who had just ran from the arena to the beach, we were all splashing around in the mild sea

When it hit 12pm it started to get colder. My legs and arms were so cold and I just want to be warm so we walked to McDonald's and got some food

Michael payed for mine and Aaron's and said it was 'his treat' because it's what he should do for a girl he's soon to be dating soon

The deep navy blue sky was scattered with millions of little white spots of light; it was beautiful. I gazed up at them as I ate fry after fry and began to fall asleep on Michael's shoulder

We began to walk back to the stadium, where the boys' tour bus was waiting for them. They were leaving tomorrow morning for
