I am So not looking forward to the flight home. I can tell you that much. I was sitting next to this dude who snored through most of the flight. And not to mention, he spilt his glass of wine (his fourth glass) all over the sweatshirt that was on my lap. Thats why they shouldn't serve wine in first class.... or in the main cabin or anywhere! He said he was sorry that he'd pay for it but I didn't accept any money and he didn't try and convince me to take it cause he zonked out afterwards. I got to my hotel suite, which was beautiful! My room was next to the dancers, and my manager came to check on me, make sure I was OK. I didn't mention the little spill of the guy. After getting settled in I had to call Lisa. I promised I would.

"Hey Lisa?"

"Yes. Sam?"

"yeah..."

"HEY!!!!"

"Hey whats up?"

"Uh nothing, no one really does stuff at 3 in the morning."

"Oh sorry I forgot about the time difference."

"So how you holding up?"

"Ok I guess. I just got in actully...Have u heard from.. well you know."

"Uh No Sam, actually I haven't. But I know he was upset when he found out."

"He found out?"

"Yeah Brian called me said he couldn't take the look in his eyes anymore and he said it slipped."

"I guess he would have figured it out sooner or later huh?"

"Maybe you should call him."

"No I can't do that, I can't even risk calling Brian. Just tell him that thankyou for helping me and not to worry about telling Nick."

"OK. I'll do that anything else?"

"Nah that's it, OK lemme let you go and I'll call you when it's a decent time there ok?"

"Alright, good afternoon Sam."

"G'night Lisa." We both laughed and hung up.... I thought about what to do with Nick, I knew I couldn't call him or write him or anything, I knew it was unfair not to tell him, but if I said good-bye I may have never left...if I told him it might have made it harder. I decided to let it be for now.

"Nick?" he looked up at Brian with red eyes.

"Yeah."

"Did you ever tell Sam you love her?"

"Not actually say I love you, but I asume she knows I do. Why?"

"No I was just you know wondering." Brian kept his eyes on the road. Nick thought to himself about all the times Sam and him spent together, he never did say 'I love you'. Why hadn't he? No wonder why she was so upset, maybe that's why they never... slept together. He wanted her in bed so badly he never sad 'I love you'.

"Brian, I love Sam..." He started sobbing.

"I know, man."

 

+ * + * + * + * + * + * +

 

After getting off the phone with Sam, I realized I was going to miss her, but I know what she would say to me if she was her. 'Go get him! Otherwise some other Bimbo, might take him up on an offer he can't refuse.' I picked the phone up and dialed up his number.

"Hello?"

"Hi Kevin? It's Lisa."

"Oh hey Whats up? Do you need something?"

"Uh well I was wondering if maybe you wanted to do something later?"

"Um Well, Caitlin and I were just heading out, I'l call you when I get back home though if you'd like."

"Uh...no that's alright you have a good time..I'll just stay in tonight."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah have fun, bye." I slammed the phone down. And Sam would be right.I threw myslef on my bed. I flopped over on my stomach. I had nothing to do now that she was gone... I sighed, and put my bathing suit on.. there's no point on living on a beach if you're not going to use it. I brought a towel, my book, and a bottled water. I layed in the sand... closing my eyes letting the sun soak into my body... I fell alseep.

 

+ * + * + * + * + * + * +

 

After Brian dropped me off. I climbed the stairs taking them two at a time I crawled into bed. I stared at the ceiling thinking of everything that had just gone wrong.

 

+ * + * + * + * + * + * +

 

A.J. Walked down the beach to where Lisa, had been sleeping. Sitting in the sand, he watched her sleep. He watched for what seemed like days, the peaceful look that played on her lips, and her chest heaving up and down, with each breath. her eyes opened slowly...

She shaded her eyes with her hand and jumped at the sight of the man sitting next to her.

"Sorry to startle you ."

"Oh that's alright, just a bit surprised is all." She took a sip of her water. And motioned the bottle toward A.J.

"No thanks."

"So what's up A.J?"

"Nothing, bored is all.. figured you'd be doing nothing since, you're a loser...."

"Gee, thanks.." She took another sip.

"Do you wanna do something? I thought I'd maybe call Brian and we'd hang out or something.?" He looked at her, staring out into the ocean.

"Sure I'll call him now." they walked up to the house together.

After getting settled in she pressed speed dial for Brian. After he didn't pick up she called his cell.

"Hello?"

"Hey Brian it's Lisa."

"Oh Hey.. whats up?"

"Sorry did I catch you at a bad time?"

"No I was just heading over to Nick's...."

"Oh...."

"He hasn't come out of his room for awhile now, so his mom called me."

"God, this is gonna be a living hell these next couple of days.."

"Yeah tell me about it...so what did you need?"

"Oh well A.J's here, we just wanted to know if you weren't busy we'd all do something but maybe I should go see Nick too."

"Lisa I think it would be best if I just see if he's in any condtion to talk to the socilized people and maybe than, we can figure something out."

"Uh..ok sure.."

"I'll call you when I figure out what's up but I'm there so I'll talk to you later."

"Ok Hey Brian. Maybe if he isn't in too bad shape, the two of you could stop by. And if not than you can come by if you want on your way home."

"Yeah sure, I'l call you before I come."

"OK Bye Brian...and thanks."

"Bye." Lisa hung the phone up and Looked at A.J who looked very confused.

"I guess I should fill you in.." She told him the whole Nick and Sam dillema.

"We're just all hoping it turns out for the better."
