We're Like Planes- Jay McGuiness

Chapter 34: Blood in the Ice

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Jay I’m just going to see if my agent got me an audition and then we can go out and do the posting thing,” I say rolling my eyes, my stomach twisted into a knot and I got a twitch in my fingers. He flung himself on the bed next to me.

“Fine,” he replied and yawned slightly. I threw a pillow on his face and he giggled, grabbing hold of my waist but I pushed him away.

Quickly I logged on, feeling my fingers twitch every time I left them to be still. The wind outside was howling loudly and fighting fiercely at the wooden lodge, shattering each heartbeat with a vicious scream. I swallowed heavily and took a deep breath. Jay came up to me and kissed me on the side of the head,

“You’ve got it,” he whispered reassuringly, “And if you don’t, then well… there’s always me to entertain you,” he continued with a lopsided flirty grin, I chuckled back feeling the knot in my stomach ease, but my fingers still felt twitchy.

“Thanks,” I replied smiling back.

I opened up my inbox and noticed the two top messages. The first was a message from Benji, the second one from my agent. I licked my lip slowly in thought before opening the first. Within the first six words I felt my body seize up and my mind spin. I quickly clicked out, telling myself I was wrong before opening the one from my agent. “I got the audition,” I replied blinking away the hard twisted knot in my stomach.

“Seriously!” Jay exclaimed jumping up and looking over my shoulder to read the email.

“You almost sound surprised,” I replied blankly, no emotion coming from myself as I still looked at the screen. He laughed and then kissed me on the lips, his fingers running through my locks of hair as if to extract some type of a reaction. I gently pushed him away and gave him a forced smile. “How about we go show the others,” I say clicking out of my emails and feeling the pit of guilt in my stomach.

~Jay’s POV~

I took her rigid response as shock and maybe a few nerves, I know when I got auditioned with all those other guys for The Wanted I was as nervous as hell, with a little more joy in the thought though.

With an arm slung around her shoulder I walked out of the room with her holding the laptop for her. I noticed her smile at the others, taking rhythmic breaths and counting under her breath. “You alright?” I whispered to her.

She snapped her gaze over to me and a bright warm smile came over her face melting away that frozen, petrified look that had possessed her when she read the email. She nodded and looked over my face before taking the laptop and putting it on the bench, a step or two ahead of me. “Ready to lose?” she asked the others playfully.

“Pft? What’d you two do? Romeo and Juliet? A porno?” Tom asked laughing loudly and infectiously.

“We were considering,” I replied coxing even more laughs from the others.

“Well we finished early enough to make you lot dinner as well,” Kara replied looking over to me and smiling somehow not giving off the vibes that she was going to dry hump me. She continued the smile to her side where Nathan was standing with a cheeky grin on his face.

“We’re done,” Bonnie confirmed pulling away from her laptop and motioning for the others to go and post theirs. Kara and Nath went next, Nathan done with a few clicks before he stepped back and Seev stepped forward putting theirs on and finally Max and Tom went and put theirs on. Nath had to pull away Tom from trying to get onto his twitter.
