~*~Chapter 3~*~
Everyone finished lunch. The guys recorded a few more songs, then all got ready to leave and go hang out at Lianne's apartment.
Ali and Nick were in Nick's private studio room.
Nick started kissing Ali. She pulled apart from his lips.
"What's wrong, Ali?" Nick wondered.
"I'm scared.." Ali confessed.
"About what? Talk to me, baby," Nick said.
"I think I'm falling in love with you...And your love means the world to me, you're my everything! That's why I'm scared.. If I ever lost you, I don't know what I'd do.." Ali blurted out.
"Don't worry, honey, that's not gonna happen. I'm not going anywhere," he said, trying to comfort her.
"But maybe it's not healthy for me to have such strong feelings for you, that you're what I live for. So maybe we need to take a tiny break from this. Just so I can experience life on my own for a little while." Ali spoke softly, as if she could hardly get the words out.
"Wow, I had no idea you felt that way..but if you feel like we need a break, then I'll wait for you, no matter how long it takes."
"Thanks for being so understanding. I'm hoping that maybe time apart will bring us closer together when we get back together," Ali said.
"Me too.."
"So I guess I'll see ya around."
"Yeah...see ya."
