Back To Good
"Bye Joe, see you tomorrow," I said closing my
car door.
My
shift at the dinner was finally over after 8
gruesome hours of complaining and
annoying kids.
I started my car and headed to the
Kinsley Club, the best
club in New York.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I shut my car
door and walked over to the
bouncer as people in line yelled at me.
"Hey
Carl, is Jenny already in there?" I
asked as he let me through.
"Yeah,
she said she had a surprise for you.
I saw it," he said as I stood curiously
wondering.
"What is it? Come on you know you
can tell me!" I
said pleading for at least a hint.
"Sorry Nicci, can't say. But you'll
definitely be
shocked," he said as he started viewing licenses again.
I
sighed and went inside the enormous club.
It took me at least 15 minutes
before I found Jenny's sorry butt.
"Hey Nicci! What took you so long?"
She asked as I
sat down at the table next to her.
"I couldn't find
your sorry ass!
What's this surprise you have for me?" I asked angrily.
Jenny is my best friend but sometimes she just
drives me nuts with how
many surprises she gives me.
"I have to go find him, wait right here!"
She yelled
over the music.
Find him? Now I was more curious than before.
If she brought my dad I would be so pissed!
When she came back, that
face I remembered so well
came back into my life, like a nightmare coming true.
"Hey
Nicci, long time no see huh?" A.J. said taking
his sunglasses off.
I
nodded with uncertainty.
"Yeah, and that was good. What the hell
are
you doing back here?" I asked angrily.
"We're in town for a show,
I decided to come
and see you. Can we talk somewhere?" He asked me.
I
shook my head at what I was hearing.
"Let me think about that...um...NO!"
I said getting up.
A.J. and I were high school
sweethearts, the perfect
couple, we were so
great together.
I lost my virginity to him, and the
first time
I loved someone.
He broke up with me when he got famous 2
years later.
We haven't talked in 6 years and I intended to
have it longer,
but Jenny and her big mouth, UGH!
"Nicci come on, I just wanna talk,"
he said
grabbing my arm.
I pushed him off me and shook my head.
"Just
go away for 6 more years,
please?" I turned and walked out the door.
Carl
stopped me with a concerned look on his face.
"What's wrong?" He
asked.
"Nothing Carl, I'm fine...really," I said brushing him off.
I walked angrily to my car, not looking back.
"Nicci! Hey Nicci!"
A.J. said running over to my car.
I rolled my eyes and sighed.
"Okay
since you're that desperate to talk...talk already
so I can go home, so of us
work hard for
money." He put his sunglasses in his pocket and sighed.
He
apperantely didn't know what to say.
"Um...okay. I...um..."
"Well
spit it out already!" I said impatiently.
"Okay, um...I miss you,"
he said nodding. I stood their,
not moving a muscle, not one inch. "Nic?"
He
asked as I snapped out of it.
"Come on A.J., don't mess around
like that,
not unless..."
"I mean it?" He interupted. "Cause
I do, I miss you.
And God you look so good," he said
looking down at
me.
"Thanks for the compliment, but I thought you said you
couldn't
handle the kind of commitment I
wanted," I said folding my arms across my
chest,
waiting for his explanation.
"Nic, think about it. I was 17,
I was stupid.
Come on tour with me if you don't believe I've changed.
Cause
I have, for the better," he said taking my hands
and holding them gently.
"You'd
take me on tour with you?"
"If that's what you wanted...hell why
not. I don't
understand why...but sure!" He said with a smile.
"Cause
I love you." Once he said that,
and he definitely meant it, I hugged him
so
hard and so tight.
"God I love you too!" I said happily.
He let me
go sadly. "What's wrong?" I asked.
He pulled his
sunglasses out of his pocket,
I had broken them!
"Whoops,"
I said laughing.
"Say you're sorry to my poor glasses," he said
pitifully.
"How about we just go to my house?" I asked smiling.
His eyebrows pushed up as I laughed.
I kissed him as all the happy memories
came back.
I was myself again, I was whole...
THE END!!!
