When Alexis was through explaining, JC stood there partly concerned for her while the other part of him was ready to laugh. She grabbed her bags.
"It was nice meeting you JC, but I wanna get to our next gate before I miss the plane. With the way my luck has been going that's not so far fetched.�
JC nodded and smiled. She started to walk down the aisle to exit the plane. JC followed her making motions at Lance to say something. Lance's muscles tensed at the sight of her walking his way. He saw JC's motions and froze. Without thinking he jumped out of his seat into the isle blocking Alexis' path. Alexis stopped dead in her tracks and nervously smiled. Lance just stood there and took in all of her beauty. JC, getting impatient, signaled to Chris to do something to get Lance to say something. Chris made a oh so obvious cough. Lance took the hint.
"Hey um... I couldn't help but notice that you look really frustrated and disoriented! Are you ok?"
Alexis slightly smiled and replied, "Yeah I'm fine. Don't worry about it. I just want to get to Dallas is all."
Lance noticed that Alexis looked tired, too tired to carry her bags so he offered to carry her them to the gate since they were on the same plane.
"Thanks I can carry my backpack, but you wouldn't mind carrying this one..." Before she finished he grabbed the bag from her and smiled. She returned the smile with a "Thank you!"
They exited the plane and where quickly escorted to the next gate. Within a blink of an eye a massive group of fans had formed the security was increased as the fans swarmed toward the group. Alexis was caught off guard, especially as she noticed the eyes falling upon her. Evil looks and gasps of "who's that?!"
Great! Now she could add bitch-slapped by teenyboppers to her list of events. Lance knew it was overwhelming and grabbed Alexis' hand and led her with the rest of the group to the gate. They boarded the plane. As the guys were getting settled when Alexis looked around. No one else was boarding. She looked at Lance with a confused look. He read it immediately and laughed.
"We got fed up! We got a private plane!" Alexis had to keep her jaw from hitting the floor. This was not happening.
The flight was short but wonderful. She and Lance had spent the whole time chatting with some occasional input from the other guys. Finally they landed at Love Field. Alexis was so happy to be in Dallas. Finally she was home. But she was also sad at the thought of leaving Lance. As she was thinking about what she was going to do next a voice chimmed in.
"Hey Alexis?" JC asked. "Where do you live? Cause we'll get you a ride there."
"Oh I couldn't... I live way out in a suburb and.." she was interupted by Lance.
"Yes we could and we are! Now take it. The only catch is that you wouldn't get home until tommorrow. It's 3 am and well you know we need sleep and all..." he drifted off.
Alexis thought about it. She was tired no doubt about it. And she said she'd call her parents to keep them updated from time to time about her situation. So she accepted the offer and continued her little journey to the hotel.
