Chapter Three -- Open Up Your Heart To Me

Lori followed Nick to his car. Nick has a royal blue BMW 328i. Lori got in the car and told Nick where she lives. Nick looks really surprise at her answer.

"Anything wrong, Nick?"

"Oh, no, of course not. I just can't believe that we are living on the same street!"

The car stops at a traffic light. Nick slowly turned on the radio when the song 'I Need You Tonight' is playing. He turned to Lori and found her asleep, she looks really tired. At the same time, Nick's heart starts to beat faster, all of a sudden, he found himself can't get his eyes off Lori. The horn from behind woke him up and he realize that the light has turned green.

When they arrived, Nick woke Lori up. "Thanks so much for the ride, Nick... and sorry I fell asleep."

"Oh... it's okay, do u need a ride tomorrow morning, and your car is going to be ready tomorrow afternoon."

"Okay... thanks a lot! I'll see you tomorrow at eight sharp, ok?"

"k... sleep earlier, nite Lori!"

~ At Lori's house ~

"Hi mom! I'm home! Oh, Howie, you're here!"

"Hey Lori, how are you doing?" Howie is Lori's best friend. He is just like a big brother to Lori. He is a cop too, but they work at different departments. Howie's girlfriend is Lori's friend, Jennifer. Howie's mom and Lori's mom are best college friends. Thus, Howie and Lori, well, they're somehow connected by all those people.

"Hi Howie, where's Jen?"

"She's on a trip to NY. I'm so bored!"

"Oh... poor Howie, it's okay."

"Tell u something Lori, I'm gonna join your department tomorrow!"

"For realz, oh my god Howie... wow! that is so cool."

"Yea... well, I guess I have to go now, so I'll see you tomorrow girl!"

"nite Howie!"

After Howie left, Lori took a shower and lie on her bed. She was holding onto her favorite PIYO (her fav doll). She thought about a lot of things. All of a sudden, Nick just appears on her mind. She wondered why she would think about Nick. She was really tired, thus she didn't think for a long time and fell asleep...

~ At Nick's house ~

"Hey, Aaron, I'm back!"

"Hey big bro! by the way, AJ called earlier tonight"

"k.. thanks!"

Nick calls back AJ. AJ is Nick's best friend since high school. He works for the FBI. "sup AJ?"

"How are you dude! Haven't talk to you for weeks!"

"Yea... of course buddy, you're sooooo busy!"

"Come on, don't talk about work, let's talk about girls! dude, since you broke up with Joyce 2 years ago, you just put all your attention on your work. Are you THAT heartbroken since then?"

"Nah, AJ. It's just that I can't find the right one. But I think things may change... I'm not sure..."

"Oh I see, looks like somebody has a crush on someone."

"Well, I'm not sure if it's a crush or anything, but I just have some kind of special feelings to her. She's a girl that joins our department a week ago. She's a pretty smart girl. But the thing is, she doesn't seems to talk to other people. Sometimes I tried to talk to her, our conversation never last long. I think she's not willing to open up to anybody. "

"wow! looks like little Nicky gonna face a big challenge. I think somehow you gotta make her open up to you before you do anything. But if you really likes her, go for it pal! I'm always there for you!"

"thanks AJ. You're right. I think I gotta talk to her more. I hope things are gonna work out!"

"Good luck! What's her name?"

"Her name is Lori. She's Chinese."
