Part 17
" So Blondie had the guts to kiss you on the cheek eh?" " Yes, he did. I was
surprised. I did not expect it...Okay, well, I sort of did, but then I
didn't. I didn't kiss him back...I couldn't." Sarah responded as her and Lisa
we're lying in Lisa's bed. " Well Sar, sounds like you've had a pretty
exciting night uh?" " Yes. Damn right sweetie. I brake up with James, see the
boys after so long, go downtown, argue with Nick...FLIRT with Nick." " How
exactly did you flirt." " I've got thy ways Lisa." " Ugh...I'll just ask
Nick!" " Well...He'll just say my attitude trust me." " Well that's a given."
Oh shut up Lisa!" Sarah shouted as she hit her with a pillow. " Well, all
I've got to say is you two are going to hook up agian." " And how are you so
sure." " Were leaving for Tampa Bay next week...RIGHT before Nick's
birthday." " Oh no..." " Oh yes..." " I found out from Brian that they are
leaving tomorrow night." " Wait...When did you call Brian?" " Oh, he called
me to let me know you were on your way here. Then, I asked him. He said their
flight leaves at 7:30pm." " Okay...And you're telling me this because..." "
Well...Look, Nick doesn't want to leave...Because you're here and he found
you. So, I was talking to Brian...He knows were coming in next week. We want
you to surprise Nick for his birthday." " Oh...And exactly HOW long will we
be in Tampa..." " You don't want to know." " Yes...I do!" " Okay...Don't
freak hun...Please..." " Oh no...A month?...two months?" " How about we make
it 3 months or maybe even more..."" Omg..." " Yea...And um...Guess where our
little home for the time being is going to be..." " you've got to be
kidding me..." " Sarah...For the next couple of months...We'll be living in
Nick's neighborhood." " WHAT!" " I'm sorry! Our management said they are
renting it for us for the time being and that they chose that one because
they thought it would be perfect for us 2 to live in, and that it was close
to our friend's house...Nick." " How far away our we from Nick?" " Um..." "
Umm...What?" 2 streets before his." " Oh crap! But wait, ...He lives in
Ruskin doesn't he?" " Nope that was 3 years ago he did. He moved back to
Tampa to manage some more and be closer to the studio which the studio WE
will be recording at." " OMG! I can never get away from this man." " Well
Sarah...What goes around comes around..." " Yayaya..." " So...what are you
going to get Nick for his birthday...Condemns?" " Ugh, Lisa!" Sarah laughed
as she hit her turning off the light." '" It's just a suggestion!" "
Whatever!" Sarah shouted as she got under the covers and kept thinking about
the months ahead of her life...

" Take you long enough Nick?" AJ asked as Nick walked back into the hotel
room. " How long did I actually take Aje?" " 15 minutes." "Wow...Didn't
realize it was that long."
" Yeah...We know. Anything that has to do with Sarah can take forvever." "
Whatever." " Oh Nick...We've been on tour with you during the time you hadn't
seen nor heard from Sarah...you were one lost puppy." " Yeah...I was pretty
depressed." " You can say that again." " But, it sort of blew over after a
while. I mean that new single that we recorded 3 years or 4 years back, I
wrote some of that about her, and she was there when we recorded it. It
turned out to be a successful hit... And it always reminded me of her!" "
Ya...That's got to be hard. But Nick, you handled it pretty well." " Yeah, I
suppose."
" Nick...You know were are leaving tomorrow night. Were heading towards
O'hare at 6:30. Plane takes off at 7:30." " Okay, thanks for the info." " Are
you going to see Sarah before you leave here." " Most likely. But...What
would I do?" " GO visit her?" " At her house?" "Why not?"
" True...But maybe out to lunch..." "Ah...Fans?" " I've got some baseball
caps and sunglasses that I can wear. Anyway, I'll ask for her opinion where
we should go to stay away from fans, or which place she would suggest." " Ya,
she knows this place better than we do." " Thanks AJ...Always coming in
handy." " That's what friends are for Nick..."
