Chapter Nine

 

****One year later****

You won't believe how much my life has changed. When I went to New York I met again with John Casablancas and thanked him for this huge opportunity. Then they gave me a make over; they bought cool clothes and gave me make up tips, cut my hair like Meg Ryan's but I didn't want to dye it as they asked me, besides black hair and green eyes is an attractive look. I slowly made my way in the industry; it was hard for a 19 year old with no experience, but everybody helped me, some fashion shows in New York, even one in Paris and Milan and photo shots like crazy. But I liked it, everybody was so nice to me, I forgot about everything in Florida, until I got back

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Now I'm in Florida I had some photo shoots there. Two days after I arrived something that I wasn't expecting happened. I was at the park, walking my Dalmatian dog, Spottie, when suddenly he started chasing another dog dragging me with him. After a few secs of wild running he stopped where the other dog was with his owner. After I caught my breath again I looked up to see who was it. Surprise surprise!! None other that Nick Carter himself, his blue eyes were hooked on me like he was recognizing me; and he did.

"Oh my God, Karla. Is it really you?!?!" he asked not believing his eyes. I didn't want to answer I just wanted to turn away and leave, but at the same time I wanted to show him how much I had changed, how strong I am and that I was good without him, even though now that I was standing in front of him all the memories that I had erased in the past year started to flow again, and I started to feel a little bit nervous with his presence, like I always did.

"Actually, yes. It's me, Nickolas" I answered coldly.

"Wow, where have you been? What you've been doing?"

"I'm doing really good. Can't you see it?" I asked.

"I sure can. You get prettier with time don't you. Look at you you look so so".

"So what Nickolas?" I asked him

"Hot, pretty, sexywhatever you've been doing seems like you're better out of my house" he said.

"Actually, yes. Now I'm the boss. I'm a model. And I'm doing really good, it seems like I picked the best choice", I said "But look at you, it seems like a train rolled over you" and he surely did. He was looking bad; he had bags under his eyes and was thinner.

"Things changed drastically since you left. My life turned to hell" he said grabbing my hands, but I quickly recovered them.

"You got married" I said bitterly.

"Actually I didn't." he said looking at me with his blue eyes. I felt my heart jump inside me as a smile crept in my face.

"Oh sorry. What happened?" I asked.

"I realized I didn't love her, I loved other person but when I really realized it, it was too late" he said almost in tears.

"Sorry" I said knowing exactly what he meant, " I have to go. I have some photo shoots really early in the morning. It was good to see you, bye" and I left him there, alone, staring at me.

I went to my hotel and took a shower. It really shocked me looking Nick that way. I slept really bad that night and I had to wake up early.

When Nick got home that night he was looking really happy and his mother noticed it.

"Sweetie, I haven't seen you smile in months. What happened?" his mother asked.

"I found the woman of my life again" he said smiling and kissing his mom in the check.

"Wanna talk about it? Who is she?" she asked.

"You already know her. It's Karla" he said.

"Karla?" Mrs. Carter asked "But she left the house a year ago".

"But she's back again. Mom, I have to tell you something." And Nick started to tell everything that happened with Karla when she was living in his house, everything, the reasons why he called off the wedding, why she's back, everything. "But I think she doesn't love me anymore, she treated me so cold and distant this afternoon. It hurts a lot, mom, I love her. It took time to realize it but I love her and now I've lost her" he said.

"Honey, if you love her as much as you say, then let her know, find the way back to her heart" she said kissing his son in the forehead.

"Thanks mom. Good night" he said leaving to his room.
