Chapter 11

 

"Always late Nick," Brian commented as he sat down by the guys. I sat on a couch behind them.


"So, Nick, who's this lady you brought with your today?" the reporter asked. He looked back at me for approval. I nodded smiling.


"She's my girlfriend," he answered happily. All the guys gave him weird looks, but knew he'd explain later.


"May I ask her name?" the reporter asked. Nick looked back at me for more approval.


"Al," I said for him.


"He slept over at her house last night," Brian said slyly. Nick shot Brian a glare.


"Could you maybe forget you heard that?" Nick asked innocently. The reporter nodded.


"How long have you guys been together?" she asked


"Could we maybe not talk about my personal life?" Nick asked uncomfortably.


"Yeah," the reporter said writing stuff down. The interview continued on normally.


"It was nice meeting you Ali," the reporter said shaking my hand, "Can I ask what you do for a living?"


"I'm head of a firm that represents attorneys," I replied," And it was nice meeting you too," I smiled.


"ALI! Can I borrow a dollar?" Brian asked anxiously. I had an idea of what it was for because I heard all the guys laughing with loud music playing in another room.


"Sure," I replied pulling my wallet out. I gave Brian a dollar.


"Well," the reporter started, "I must be on my way," she said leaving.


"Bye!" I showed her out. I went to see what was going on in the other room. I opened the door and saw Nick pretending to strip again. My dollar bill was sticking out of Nick's boxers.


"Care to join me?" he asked holding his hand out.


"You need a life," I laughed, "I was just gunna go home and take a bubble bath. I was hoping I'd have company, but if you're too busy," I teased walking outside the building.


"ALI! NO!" I heard Brian yell. A million flashes went off and somebody pulled me back inside. I had a shocked look on my face.


"Are you okay?" AJ asked., I just stood there.


"Al?" Nick asked finally dressed and shaking me.


"I don't see what all the fuss is about out there, its just you guys," I laughed.


"HEY! They worship the ground we walk on," Howie but in.


"About that bubble bath," Nick whispered in my ear.


"Lets go to my house," I replied.


"Guys, we're gunna seeya later," Nick said picking me up. He carried me to his car. He had his arm around me the whole time and I leaned on his shoulders.


He pulled into my driveway. I went into the kitchen and got out some beers.


"But I thought we were," I stopped him with a kiss.


"Drink," I said handing him a beer. We drank a few beers before we started making out. Me and were completely drunk and had no idea what was going on. I unbuttoned Nick's shirt and whipped it off. Then I pulled his white T-shirt off. We completely undressed each other running into walls the whole time. We fell to the bed and without knowing it made a huge mistake.


Nick woke up around 2 am. He had a killer headache and noticed he was naked. He looked over and saw me next to him.


"I was suppose to go slow!" he scolded himself. He got out of bed and got dressed. He wrote a letter and left it on the night stand. he gathered all his belongings and left.


I heard the door shut and I woke up. I picked up the note and turned on the light. The light beams hurt my eyes and I had a major hangover. The not read: Dear Ali, I like you so much. I'm sorry I left, but I can't deal with this right now. I can't see you anymore. Goodbye. -Nick


"DAMN HIM!" I yelled and ripped up the card. I got dressed. I had to go to work that day so I just stayed up. I took a shower cursing the world. "I guess I was just another victim," I sighed.


I just waited in amazement that he left until it was time to leave for work. I got to my new office and got settled. I already had a million things to do when I got there. I worked all day and even stayed late. The plant in New York was having trouble without me there so I had to arrange a business trip that day. Ashley, my secretary, invited me to go clubbing. Me and Ashley became friends instantly.


"Nah, I have stuff to do," I disagreed, "And I'm leaving for the week," I went home still thinking about Nick and how he left me. I was pulling into my driveway when Brian knocked on the window.


"Hey Ali!" he said happily as I got out of the car.


"Hey," I said sadly. I was talking to Nick's bestfriend. Brian was too happy to notice.


"Nick's over at my house, you wanna come see him?" he asked.


"No," I said looking away.


"Why?" he asked confused.


"I don't want to see him and he doesn't want to see me," I shrugged.


"Bri! Lefts play!" I heard Nick yell coming outside.


"Just a minute!" Brian yelled back, "What happened?"


"I was just another girl to him," I explained, "You better go. Your friends getting upset," I said going inside.


Brian felt anger crawl all over him. He walked back over to his house. "I just want you to know you're an asshole," Brian yelled throwing a basketball at Nick.


"Are you talking about Al?" Nick asked knowing the answer.


"Damn straight," he said still mad.


"We got drunk. I would have stopped myself, but I didn't know what was going on. I can't see her. I'm too ashamed," Nick said as if an excuse.


"Damn you Nick! You had to go and do that to her! She's one of my best friends, but you did it anyway! I can't wait until someone tells you no!" Brian yelled.


"I'm sorry!" Nick yelled back.


"Don't tell me!" Brian said sternly.


"Fine, I'll go talk to her," Nick sighed walking over to my house.
