( A/N : Maddie's Outfit For Chapter ^^^^ and yes , the tittle is based off Talking Body By : Tove Lo ; a song I had on repeat for a while now )
• Next Day , 10 a.m. ; Lachlan's Hotel Room •
~ Maddie's POV ~
" I think I might throw up " Lachlan groaned , running his fingers through his wet hair .
" Stop being so over dramatic . It's just breakfast " I protested , rolling my eyes at him .
" Just breakfast ? It's the breakfast that might determine whether I'm allowed to even continue this relationship ! " he cried , grabbing a white shirt from his suitcase nearby .
Lachlan and I were heading out to met up with my dad for breakfast before he and Mitch go back to work .
Everyone else had decided to leave the three of us alone and get breakfast altogether .
"You're such a drama king " I snapped .
" I'm just nervous . I really love you and I just want your parents to like me , especially your dad " he admitted , slipping the shirt onto his body .
I stood up from my place on his bed , fixing an out of piece hair on his head .
" You have nothing to worry about . My dad will love you " I smiled , looking into his blue eyes seriously .
" You're just saying that so I won't feel bad ".
" Maybe I am " I smirked .
" Stop ! You're making me even more nervous ! " he cried in a childish tone .
I let out a laugh . " No , but in all seriousness stop worrying . There is nothing to worry about ".
Lachlan let out a collective sigh , ran his hands over his shirt before slipping his phone , hotel room key and wallet into his pocket ; grabbing my hand .
" Let's go " he smiled , leading me out of his and Mitchell's shared room .
• An Hour Later •
I took a small sip from my lemonade , the tension thick in the air .
Lachlan , my dad and I all sat in a vintage style breakfast cafe near the window , Lachlan beside me and my dad in front of us .
My dad took a sip from the beer , setting it down loudly on the table ; breaking the silence .
" So , " my dad started , trying to make small talk before the food arrived , " How long have have you two been dating ? ".
" About 5 months , almost 6 " I responded .
" And you didn't tell me sooner ? " he asked , arching his eyebrow .
" We would have told you earlier but we wanted to tell you in person , which is hard since I live all the way in Australia " Lachlan spoke up softly .
My dad leaned on his elbow , suddenly interested in this new information at hand .
" Oh , so this is a long distance relationship . Aren't you young boys always cheating on your girlfriends ? I mean, you could be cheating right now and Madeline won't even- ".
" Dad ! " I interrupted , sending him a warning glance .
" No , it's okay Mads . I can see why your dad would think that ", Lachlan protested , looking over to me . " But I'm not like that . I love your daughter and I would do nothing to hurt her at all . I swear ".
My dad take another sip of his beer . " Just take care of her and use a condom . We will have no problem ".
I rested my hands in a praying position over my nose , trying to hide the fact I was blushing like crazy .
I knew he was going to embarrass me . He couldn't keep it in for one day .
" Don't worry ", Lachlan looked in my direction , flashing me a charming smile . " I will ".
• Later That Day , 2 p.m. •
" I'm scared " I admitted , as we climbed up the long steel stairs .
" Don't be , I doubt anyone has ever died going on these things " Jerome reassured me .
" And how are you so sure Jerome ? " Rob teased .
" Cause unlike you Rob , I have a job and know these kinds of things " Jerome snapped , causing us all to burst into laughter .
MineCon had already started but since it was the last day , Jerome , Lachlan , Rob , Preston and I decided to take a more exciting way to get there . On a gondola .
I'm terrified of heights . I hate roller coasts that are too high up , can't go on a Ferris wheel without panicking and one time , when the Ferris wheel got struck , I had a panic attack .
But that was when I was 16 and now I'm 18 . 2 years passed and I have changed so heights shouldn't be a fear anymore ... right ?
As we approached the gondolas , the palms of my hands started to sweat and I could feel my heart beat .
" How many ? " a young boy asked us .
" Five people " Lachlan answered .
The boy nodded as the next gondola came forward with a couple inside .
I watched nervously as the couple jumped off quickly , landing hard on the steel ground .
Wait , we have to jump in ? While we are 5 feet in the air ? What if I miss ? Will I die ?
" Mads ! Come on ! " Lachlan cried , snapping me back into reality .
I watched him jump inside along with the others .
I froze . The gondola was moving away slowly but I was paralyzed .
I looked at the gondola then down at the concrete below .
I felt light headed and everything seemed to move like I had nausea in MineCraft .
Just jump , you can do this .
I reached out for Lachlan's hand and leaped .
I gripped tightly onto Lachlan shirt as I landed safety into the gondola .
I breathed a sigh of relief as I quickly took a seat next to Lachlan , putting on my seat belt .
The boys started up a conversation as I stared aimlessly out the window .
There was a lake underneath us and I bunch of tall buildings surrounding it .
I could see the convention center in the distance along with the Big Ben .
" Hey , what happened back there ? " Lachlan whispered in my ear .
I turned to face him and shrugged .
" Nah , there's something wrong . Are you afraid of heights or something ? " he asked .
" Kinda " I mumbled .
He pulled me into his side . " You should have told me . Then I wouldn't have insisted to go on this ".
" It's no big deal . I'm okay now " I reassured him .
He gave me a small kiss on the forehead causing the boys to aw .
" Look at you two ! " Preston smiled .
" OTP " Rob added , wiping a fake tear from his eye dramatically .
We slightly moved away from each other , making a disgusted face .
" Aw , cooties " Lachlan teased .
" Blonds are not my type " I replied .
Preston rolled his eyes at us .
" You two are a match made in heaven " Jerome commented .
