Chapter 10

 

"Nobody's rich here," I laughed when we pulled into his mansions driveway.


"Its cozy," he shrugged. He took my hand and led me to his front door. He tried to pull his keys out and open the door with one hand. He was having trouble.


"You can let go you know," I said finding his gaze. We stared into each others eyes for a while. There was so much pain behind the player Nick use to be. I could see it.


We both passionately started to make out. Nick's hands went all over me under my clothes.


"What happened to friends?" he asked out of breath and pulling away.


"Fuck friends," I said pulling him back. We continued until the door that I was leaning on flew open and I fell down with Nick on top of me.


"I guess I did get the door open," Nick laughed.


"The guys'll be waiting," I said pushing him away.


"Yeah," he replied not moving.


"So, we better go," I said finally getting away from his grasp. Nick finally went and changed into his suit. I sat nervously on his couch.


"Ready to go?" Nick asked when he cam out of his room.


"Actually, no. Nick, we have to be friends and only friends," I said scared I'd hurt him.


"I know," he sighed.


"So are we ready then?" I asked getting up. Nick nodded and we got back in his car. We got to the beach and the guys were already there.


"You're late," AJ said slyly.


"Traffic," Nick shrugged. He walked ahead of my like he was mad.


"Ali," Brian call as he walked over to me," What happened between you two?" he asked.


"Nothing, we're just friends," I said not sure if Nick wanted me to tell.


"Hey Ali, you got any friends I could hook up with?" AJ asked, "I didn't get any last night," he explained himself.


"I'm starting work tomorrow, so I'll look for ya," I smiled.


"Great," he replied running off. I walked down to the water alone. Brian had run off to talk to Nick. I stood about a foot in the water just looking out. It was so peaceful with a few kids running around. I couldn't wait to have kids. They were so adorable.


"ALI! CATCH!" I heard someone yell. The next thing I knew a frisbee hit me in the head. The hit caused me to fall over. I poked my head out of the water and heard 5 guys laughing.


"Okay, shutup now," I said after a minute of laughing, "Its not that funny."


"Only cuz you didn't see it!" Brian yell ed still laughing. I got out of the water and started to walk away.


"Don't you dare get my car wet," Nick yelled to me.


"I wasn't going to your car!" I yelled back mad. I headed for the road and started to walk home. I heard someone run after me.


"Ali, it was just a joke," I heard Nick beg. I kept on walking, "You're not going the right way," he said smugly.

 

I turned around pretending to be mad. "Lets go somewhere, just me and you," I said tracing his chest.


"Q-ZAR!!!!" he said happily," Please, I haven't been there since before I signed with the band!"


"Okay," I agreed easily. We left the beach and put clothes over our swimsuits.


We got to Q-zar. I didn't really want to play, I just wanted to be with him. Nick was getting really into it. I was running away from someone, but ran into something.


"Owwww," I heard Nick moan. We had run into each other. Nick layed on the ground like a baby.


"Nick you're being shot by all the other players," I warned him. I knew that would get him up.


"C'mon!" he said jumping up. He grabbed my hand and pulled me into a small corner hidden in the back.


"I think we can go now," I said looking out, but I saw someone and I scrunched in closer to Nick. He was breathing deeply and I could hear his heart beat. He slowly, unsure of himself, leaned in and kissed me softly. I put my hand in his hair and caressed it. He smiled at me nervously. I pull his had back and we started to makeout again, but it was different this time. It had meaning and felt right.


"Their gunna kick us out Nick, the games over," I whispered as he still covered my face with kisses.


"Shit! I have an interview!" he yelled. Nick and I got out of the tiny corner and headed out. I had no choice this time. I had to go with Nick. After all, I was the reason he was late for his interview.
