Geneve and I finished eating lunch when we just walked out of a shop (I don’t remember which one) and Geneve suddenly got very excited and started pushing me. I turned to see what she was looking at… it was Nick! I couldn’t believe it! I never thought that I would see him again! I took one look at Geneve and she looked kind of – stupid. Well, her face was all red and everything and she was pointing at them. I didn’t think that it was obvious it was him because he was wearing a cap that covered all of his pretty blonde hair. I just kept staring at him. Was I still asleep? Suddenly, they pointed back at us and Nick smiled and waved a hi. I waved back. He jogged over.
“Hey! What are you doing here?”
“Uh… me? Nothing much, just shopping around. This is my friend Geneve.” Geneve kinda just recovered really quickly. She shook his hand flirtatiously and well, just kinda gave him these flirty looks. I was kinda mad at her for doing that. It’s probably her natural reaction to like – ANY hot guy but in a way, I kind of felt jealous. Strange.
“I’m Nick,” he smiled at her again, “Hey what are you guys doing later?”
“I think that we’ll probably be hanging around here some more. Why?” I replied, hoping that he would say, ‘oh nothing, just wondering if you were free tomorrow night and we could head out for dinner together alone’. hah dream on.
“Um… maybe I’ll meet up with you guys later, alright? I’ve got to do something so will you guys still be here in about like, 3 hours?”
“3 hours???” Geneve cried out (I could kill her for doing that).
“Yeah, that’d be great. I’ll see you at the fountain in 3 hours!” and then I just grabbed Geneve and made her walk away with me in the other direction. She took my hand off her back.
“Are you crazy? 3 hours?? What are we going to do? Seriously, it’s supposed to be the guy waiting on the girl, not the other way round Rach. If this guy screws up the rules, then he’s not worth it. He may be cute and all but then he wants you to wait for him for 3 hours! And he probably won’t show up at all! Do you think that he’s worth it? You don’t even know the guy!”
“Well then this is my chance to then isn’t it?” I could tell that Geneve wasn’t impressed, “Please Jen? I really think that this could work out. Help me please?”
“Alright,” Geneve finally agreed. But we still didn’t have anything to do for three hours. I kept checking my watch as well. Geneve suggested we go watch a movie but then when we went to check out the cinema, the lines were longer than – than, than something really long and when we got to the counter, all the movies were sold out except for the 8 o’clock ones and after. Well I planned to be going on a date with Nick by then.
About an hour passed and we could hear… singing. It was coming from the main hall and we decided to see what was going on. Maybe celebrities were there. There were loads of people there and I could barely see who was singing. It was a group, that consisted of 5 guys. And one of them looked particularly familiar.
“Rach! Rachel! That’s, that’s Nick up there!”
I was so much in shock that I didn’t know what to say. So THAT’S where I’ve seen him! On magazine covers, TV… Oh my god Nick is famous! We found out how good their group was (I’m more into heavy metal and not pop stuff but since Nick’s part of this group – and I must admit, the music’s not bad – I’ve decided to become a fan, not like they didn’t have enough already. They were all over the place!) and Geneve practically fell in love with this guy that’s in the group. I didn’t know his name… but he had a lot of tattoos. So I guess Jason’s out of the picture. Actually, I think she just went out with him once because he has a BMW. She’s like that. Jut this tattoo guy… I have no idea why she likes him. Maybe it’s because he has enough tattoos. I think Nick kind of spotted us (it was hard not to when Geneve decides to catch the attention of the tattoo guy and wears a big orange feathered hat. It was those really big types.) But then again, he might not have because I was hidden under the hat. Well then she changed her mind and decided to wave the hat in the air and THAT really caught their attention. I could almost see Nick laughing. God, I’m embarrassed. So basically, they kind of sang for about an hour and then they had to go. I was wondering, where were they going? so being a stupid ass like me, I dragged Geneve with me (along with the thousand other fans) to backstage. But we kind of stuck out, thanks to the hat. A big guy (a security guard I think) came and took us backstage. At first, I thought we were in trouble, maybe the orange hat was stolen or something, but then we saw Nick and when Geneve went inside the little room, they were all laughing!
“Don’t do that next time! You know how hard it was for us to stop smiling like an idiot seeing that big hat on your head?” the tattooed guy said.
Geneve smiled bashfully, “I’m Geneve.”
“I’m AJ.”
Then they kind of got together and talked for some more while me and Nick talked.
“You didn’t tell me you were in a group.”
“Well, what can I say? Someone just grabbed me off the street today and said that I was so good looking that I was needed to perform here.”
I laughed, “So what are you guys going to do now? By the way, I still haven’t met your friends yet.”
“Oh right,” he said, “The guy that looks like a monkey is Brian, the really short guy with the curly hair but had it straightened is Howie and that guy is, uh… that guy is… what’s your name again?”
He just smiled and said, “I’m Kevin.”
We just kind of hung out for a while but really it was Geneve and AJ me and Nick. The other guys were sort of… not really included. I mean, they were nice and everything but it was weird. I mean, we didn’t know each other but Nick and I kind of clicked I guess.
