MILO'S POV

"Hey lads." Silas calls out and he sounded as if he had just a brilliant idea.

All of us glanced at him as he adds, "Let's all go skating. Paul said he knows a good place to skate." Rowan’s face was quick to show disagreement with Silas’s suggestion and I don’t think Lucius  liked his idea too but Jasper’ just busy texting on his phone.

I do want to skate. “I’d skate with you Silas.”

He smiles, “That’s really sweet of you Milo .”

I smiled back.

"Well..” Rowan interrupts. “Hate to break it to you Mill but Jasper is a professional figure skater. Aren't you Jas?" He smirks at Jasper.

"I am?" Jasper asked curiously with his brows creasing together as he stopped himself from typing on his phone. “I don’t skate Rowan. If you’re forgetting, I am bad with shoes that has wheels.”

All of us know Jasper don't skate and would never try to skate. He can't even balance himself well on roller blades, what more if it’s on ice.

I laugh softly.

"You are.” Rowan insisted. “I mean have you seen Jasper wearing the attire for a figure skater? I bet you haven't. Tights and all. Shove up in the bum." He jokes with a grin then laughs while glancing at Jasper. Silas joins in with Rowan as they continued to poke fun at Jasper.

Thank God he's okay now. Nobody wants a moody Rowan around.

"Very very funny Rowan. Ha-ha." Jasper sarcastically answered as he continued texting again.

All of us began to laugh when Rowan continues to make fun of Jasper and the figure skater attire.  But Jasper kept on firing at Rowan with some great comebacks which made us laugh even louder too. Sometimes, when the bad is really tired from all the hard work, it’s really good to have a good laugh with these guys and joke around as often as we want.

"When do we skate?" I asked, curious. I am a huge fan of of ice skating though.

"Up for it Mill?" Jasper asked back.

"I'm up for it, yeah." I responded quick.

Silas looks at me with wide happy eyes. "Cool! How about tomorrow we all go ice skating. I know a place in London." Silas chimes cheerfully. "We're all dead tired today and I really wanna go skating. It's something we haven't done together just yet.” Silas said smiling and eager.

He’s always been the vacation setter of the band. He loves to do things together and have fun too, not as band-mates but also brothers. I think Silas can't live without the four of us. He's always the one planning things to do together. He's the ultimate fanboy. But we love him dearly. I may be the youngest but we think of Silas as the youngest and we will do everything to protect him. It’s not that he can’t protect himself but it’s just that we are his brothers.

"Okay bye, I'll call you later. Yes Sophia, I am with the boys.” Lucius rolls his eyes at no one which makes me laugh softly. “Yes, dear. I love you very much too." He hangs up.

Lucius  groans, “Seriously why doesn’t she trust me at all? Jesus.”

“Because she knows you invite women over for sex.” Rowan pointed it out.

Lucius stares at Rowan with pursed lips, “I think you’re forgetting you invite women over too, engaged man.” He snapped back.

“Touche.” Rowan points his finger at Lucius  .

Sophia has been paranoid over Lucius being faraway all the time and she has every right to be frantic about her beau being miles away. She knows Lucius loves her but Lucius flirts with others.

"What do you say guys?" Silas asked, still eager to let all of us ice skate. Sweet sweet Silas.

Lucius turned his head towards Silas and I know Lucius  ’ getting kind of pissed about the whole ice skating thing. “Chill it out Lucy.” I call him out and he just glanced at me.

“I’m cool.” He answers back before texting on his phone again.

"I don't know ice skating mate. But Jasper will surely be interested." Rowan starts teasing again.

We begin to chuckle.

"Imagine him in his figure skater attire. Tight on the ass." Rowan said that out again while laughing loudly and we began to laugh with him again too.

I grinned. "But we have to leave at dawn in a while. We have no time."

"Boo-hoo, we can always have the next flight." Silas says instantly. “Or like I said, we can always have it in London.”

"How about surfing?" Lucius chimed.

"I love surfing! I'm so up for that. Definitely up for that." Jasper said while giving Lucius a high five.

"You go skating alone Silas. I'm joining Lucius and Jasper." Rowan snorted.

We laughed together again, leaving Silas all disappointed but Jasper managed to still cheer him up. We could not hurt Silas. We finally arrived outside the hotel and the car stops in front of the building, we were then accompanied by out security. Lucius went out first waving and smiling to the fans followed by Rowan who kept his head down low then Silas who stopped by a few photos for a group of girls then Jasper who told the paparazzi to scram before waving adorably at the fans and lastly me pushing my hair off my forehead as the wind blows on it. The moment we stepped out of the car, in a quick second the cameras started flashing one after the other at us like the usual. It gets pretty blinding that’s why poor security are here to lead the way for us. There were paparazzi waiting outside and the fans running towards us trying to get a picture as they kept screaming our names. I don't know how they're still here staying so late outside on this cold night. 

“You should go home and get something warm. It’s pretty cold out here.” I tell a group of fans before they went screaming like crazy.

“Thank you! We love you Milo!” A girl screams.

I blew a kiss and they literally screamed thunderously. 

It's crazy how the fans and paps know where we go and where we are staying. It’s cool how they know our locations every step of the way but sometimes Rowan hates it because he usually wants his time alone when he’s in the hotel to relax and chill. I also hate the fact that some people just loves to trail us wherever we go and how they manage to creep on us while we aren’t looking. The fact that being followed is already creepy and weird enough because it gives you anxiety that probably this person might be mentally unstable and is too obsessed with us who’d be willing to hurt us. I should not have watched those suspense movies, it just drives me nuts sometimes. Aside from the cameras that are placed right in front of our faces blinding us with the flash, people just loves tailing down our asses. Years have gone by and I guess we're getting kind of used to it now. 

I smiled and waved, as usual, while our bodyguards were around us, protecting us from getting swarmed by the crowd outside the hotel. I wonder how long they have been waiting here and how they can take the agony of being here this cold. Paps began to throw shady questions to make us want to talk but we already know what to do. Never let it get into your head and just shut the fuck up or else it will ruin your career. Paps know how to turn things around just with a photo.

Getting pictured is like our daily routine now soon after the band was formed, when there are cameras, all you have to do is look good, be good, and smile. Smile even if you're tired or pissed or annoyed by the people who just does not want to give you your desired privacy and wants ever damn photo of you and never ever answer the paps. That's our mantra. 

We finally got inside the hotel safe and sound leaving the screaming fans and paps who were not allowed to enter the hotel if they did not have reserved a room in here. We got in the elevator with our bodyguards and I was thankful this hotel had a bigger space for elevators. As soon as the elevator’s door closed, we all sighed together, shoulders low and head pulled up to the ceiling. I massage my temples and felt my headache coming back. I was absolutely completely knackered.

“It felt like ages getting to the hotel.” Lucius begins to talk.

Silas nods, “Well you had to stop by for those fans who had nice knockers.”

“Lucius , Lucius , Lucius .” Jasper calls out while shaking his head. “You never really learn from your mistakes in the past.” Jasper meant that time when Sophia caught him cheating on her when she surprised Lucius when we were in South Africa for a concert.

“I was just being nice to those ladies.” Lucius  defended.

Rowan chuckles softly as he leans his left shoulder on the wall. “This elevator ride feels like ages too.” He commented.

Jasper cracks a laugh as he agrees with Rowan.
