*The Next Morning-

The next morning, Rachel woke up with tons of questions floating in her head. She didn't know if Nick and her were now a couple. Of course that kiss last night was... amazing! But does it meant something for him? Does he was really in love with her like all the girls were saying? Does she really was in love with him? All those questions were haunting her mind and she finally gave up. She was getting ready to go downstair for breakfast, thinking that she was probably another girl in Nick's life, just another little conquest when someone knock on the door. When she opened it, she was really suprise of who was standing there

"Hi!" Nick said with a sexy smile. "Ready to breakfast??"

"Yeah... just a second...come in. It won't be long... just have to get my hair done..." she said while he was sitting on the bed.

Nick could tell something was bothering her. She wasn't really looking at him like she usually did. He thought maybe he have done somethingwrong.

"Are you alright?" he asked while she was getting her hair in a ponytail.

"...Yeah...well... I don't know... " she paused a little while and then turned to Nick and started talking really fast. "Look, I'd like to know... do I really mean something to you?? Because I don't want you to kiss me like you did and then act like nothing happened... I know you didn't do that yet but I just don't want it to be that way... I really like you and this kiss meant something to me. If I'm only some little kiss in your life I'd like to know it right now..."

Nick smiled, walked to her and hold her in his arms. Then he whispered in her ears:

"Hey, it did mean something to me. I swear! I really like you too, since the first look I put on you... and I think we can go somewhere together...I mean, we understand each other really well and we get along great... so why couldn't we go out together?"

"I... I don't know... I'm not really use to this... I've had a lot of deceptions because everytime a guy seemed to likes me, I was always thinking he was the man of my life and then I was getting nervous and everything so things were never working out. And I just don't want it to be like that... I know maybe we won't be together for the rest of our life but I don't want it to be just a little adventure, like most of the boys wanted..." she answered almost in tears.

"Listen, I do really like you! I don't see why things would not work out... and if I would have want just a little adventure like you say, I would have kiss you way before last night... We know each other for what? 2 weeks? And believe me, since the first day I met you I wanted to kiss you... oh god I wanted to... but I waited and thought a lot to see if I really liked you ... to not hurt you." he said looking at her in the eyes. "And now I know what I want"

Rachel was really suprised by this decleration and felt good. She knew that he was saying the truth. She smiled and kissed him like she never kissed a boy. She knew she was in love. And it was a deeper love than the one with the college boys she met. She sure knew that maybe they wouldn't be together for all their life but the time she'd be with him, she'd be the happiest girl on earth.

"Come on let's go downstair now" he said taking her hand. He was so happy she said yes. He thought about this questions too...were they really in love and things like that... but now he knew she really meant something to him. He was feeling so good when she was around. They walked together, hand in hand, both all smiles.

When they got into the dinning room, everyone looked at them with a hugesmile.

"Oooh, a new couple in the family!" said Aj giggling.

"Awww...aint' that cute holding hands in the park..." Brian sang laughing

Nick wasn't paying attention to what his friends were saying. He was happy and that's all he wanted to. He could see Rachel blushing but she was happy too. He could see it in her eyes...they were sparkling.The two new lovers sat down at the table with the other guys. Then the boys started talking about what happened last night in the girls room.


"Stop talking about that please..." laughed Ashley.

"It was so much fun!!!" said Kevin.

"Yeah it was funny!" Stacey said giggling. "But I never thought you would do that! I mean... close the lights and everything... "

"You'll get use to this Stace... they are full of suprises!!" said Amber.

"Oh yes we are!!!" Brian replied to Amber with a sexy smile, what made everybody laugh.

"I still think it wasn't funny..." Becky said.

"Come on... I'm sure you liked it!!" Aj replied. "You're still angry???"

Becky didn't answer and continued eating her breakfast.

"Aaah...miss Becky is still upset!?!?!?" he added with a strange voice.

She didn't answer again.. she just wanted to laugh. The way Aj was talking just always was making her laugh out loud. She tried to hide her smile but couldn't so she started laughing.

"Naaahh she's not upset! why would she be upset??" said Aj with the same voice.

"Shut up!" she answered still laughing.

"I think you got her weak point man!!" Ashley said.

"Alright!!!" he said proudly.

"Hey! Why don't we go clubbing a little tonight... there is no concert again..." proposed Becky.

"Yeah it'd be cool!!!" answered Aj always happy to go clubbing. "Who wanna come??"

"I do!!!" said Ashley.

"Me too!" Stacey shouted.

Rachel looked at Nick to see if he wanted to go. He looked at her and shook his head to say no. Then he got closer to her and murmured in her ear:

"Tonight, you're to me only!" he said with a sexy smile.

Rachel smiled too. He was so sweet with her. And at the idea to pass the evening and maybe the night with him really excited her. She knew she had nothing to worry about.

"And I'll bring you with us..." Becky whispered to Naomie. "You have to change your mind..."

They talked a little while and then everyone left, leaving Naomie and Becky alone at the table. Naomie didn't say a word of the breakfast... When she saw Nick and Rachel together holding hands,she just had to fight with tears.She knew that this would happen some day but that would be so soon.But she controled herself and stayed calm. She wasn't ready to saw that but she knew that she will never have him so she decide to give up.

"Hey girl you feel alright?!?!asked Becky seating on naomie's side.

"Yeah..."wispered Naomie

"I Know it's hard!!!"said Becky looking at the floor sorry for her friend

"What?!?!"asked Naomie

"Humm you know what I mean... seeing Nick with Rachel together" replied Becky confused that her friend did not understand

"Nick Who?!?"asked Naomie sure of herself

"Nick Who?!?!"asked Becky really confused"Nam Common... This Boy with who you were in love with last Night Remember?!?! He have blond hair blue eyes..he is tall..."

"Ho this Nick... Well I don't remember a fact about him ok..so would you just please stop talking about him... it makes me sick" said Naomie getting upset

"No I won't!!"

"What?!?!"started Naomie "Becky listen ok... I don't need you to remember me every minute of my life that I was in love with him ok...it was a simple crush now it's gone...So if you really care about me don't talk to me about him ever again ok?!?! I really don't need it!!!"

"I won't let you do this Nam I just can't let you!!"wispered Becky

"but you have to!!! Please"

"No Never... Maybe I don't have a lot of principle but... I have one that I cheerish... Never give up on love... Baby you can gave him all the love in the world that he need... you can't forget about this love in a night... I won't let you destroy yourself like you do You don't even told him what you feel for him and you have too cuz..."

"NO!!! OK I'm not certainly gonna do that ... It's my life and I will destroy it like I want to ok?... If I don't do that it's his life that I would destroy and it's the last thing that I wanna do. I want him to be happy..and if he is happy with her it's his choice I can't and you can't do nothing about it!!" cried Naomie getting upset. Then she got up and ran away.

Becky looked at her friend running away. She didn't know what to do. Naomie was loving Nick a lot. She knew that it wasn't just a little crush. Naomie had to fight for him... Becky knew that he was looking really happy with Rachel now... but he was dancing with Naomie since 2 months she probably meant something for him. She Knew that Naomie made I huge mistake but like she just said she can't controlher life for her... but she can't let her destroy herself like this...



*At night*


Aj was waiting for the girls in the lobby. "What the hell are they doing?". He couldn't wait to go clubbing because he didn't get the chance to do it since some weeks. He was going to flirt with the girls and dance all night. Finally, the 4 girls arrived.

"It was about time!" he shouted. "But... you all look beautiful my girls!"

"Thank you Mr." Becky said giggling.

"Wow...I'm the luckiest man on earth tonight! I'm going out with the 4 most beautiful girls in town! Oh yeah!" he added looking at them.

"Shut up McLean!" laughed Ashley. "Let's go now!!!"

When they arrived at the club, they were all exciting to finally have some fun seeing other people. It was great to be in the crew but sometime they kinda got tired to always see the same faces.

"I'll go gat a table" said Ashley while she was walking trough the dance floor for a table.

"we'll follow you!!"replied Aj following her

Once they get the table they order a few drinks and talked about things and other things.

"Hey Cutie ya wanna dance?!?!"Asked Aj to the Becky

"Yeah Sure Let's go!!!"she said getting up on her feet.

They went to the dance floor and started dancing.

"I won't drink tonight" laugh AJ proudly "Just In case you were worry about this!!"

"Hoo I'm not ... I won't drink as much as I did last time!!"

"Like this, there's nothing to worry about what happened the last time will happen again!!"he said smilling

"No risk!!"she replied dancing even more to the rythm of the music.


*a little bit later*


After their drink, Ashley and Stacey went to the dance floor leaving Naomie alone at the table.

This one was not in shape for dancing or anything tonight..she was really quiet and practicly didn't say a words of the evening. She tried as hard as possible to not think about Nick but that was so hard, he was everywhere. No matter where she was looking she was seeing him. But she didn't say a word about it...Becky was the only one who knows about her feeling for him and that was enough. She was getting pretty drunk. After a couple of drinks, a boy ask her to dance and she accept ..she got up and left for the dance floor with him. A couple of dance and a lot of drinks later whe was now really drunk. She was dancing in a sexy way, driving all the boys in the club crazy.She was also becoming very toutchy with a couple of them.

"I think we should take Nam off the dance floor..she is becoming too friendly with the boys..." said Stacey looking at her on the dance floor.

"She's completly drunk!!"said Ashley "We should take her back to the hotel"

"You have any idea why she's drinking that much?!?!"asked Stacey to Becky

"Humm no... I know she was feeling down these days because she miss her family.." answered Becky trying to not betray her friend.

"I'll get het back to the hotel then ... I'm kind of tired anyway!!" Stacey said.

"I'll go back with you I'm tired too you're comming Beck?!?"

"No... I'm not tired. I'll take a cab...anyway Alex is still on the dance floor so I'll come back with him later"

"Alright!!I'll try to take Nam off of the dance floor. we'll see ya tomorow Morning!!take care Darling!!"said Stacey kissing her friend friendly on the cheek .

After a couple of try, Ashley and Stacey finnaly got Naomie off of the dance floor and took her to the car out side and went back to the hotel.


During all the night Becky was dancing and having fun on the dance floor with some guys. She was watching Aj doing kinda the same thing and felt a little weird. She didn't know why. She was almost getting angry. "Calm down... he can do what he wants to!" she thought. Aj was a really great dancer so the girls were always asking him to dance. He didn't really feel to dance with all of them but when he was watching Becky dancing with those boys, he thought he should do the same thing. They were both dancing, and both watching each other. Aj was now dancing with a bunch of girls at the same time and Becky couldn't handle more. She walked to Aj and asked him:

"I think it's time to go don't you think? we have a concert tomorrow night..."

He acted like he didn't care. "The things are starting to be cool...don't ruin this Beck!" he said with a leave-me-alone look.

"Alright...see ya tomorrow". She said walked out the club, Aj looking at her leaving. He felt bad about how he react but he couldn't help it.They were both mad at each other and they didn't know why. "We'll see what is it tomorrow I guess..." he said to himself.



*During this time, at the hotel*


Nick was in his room, a little nervous. He was going to pass the evening with Rachel. He invited her to come over so they could hang out and watch a movie. When he heard a weak knock on the door. He knew it was her. She was so sweet. He looked at his image on the mirror and walked to the door. It was there first evening together and he wanted it to be nice. He opened the door and smiled when he saw his new girlfriend.

"Hi sweetie!" he said happy before to give her a sweet little kiss. "How ya doin?"

"I'm doing great! how about you?" she asked with a beautiful smile. Nick loved to see her smile. She was so cute when she was smiling.

"I'm doing really great now!" he replied. "Come in."

She walked in and sat on the bed. Nick sat beside her and took her face in his hand and looked at her in the eyes. She smiled at him and kissed him tenderly. When they broke the kiss, Nick was all smile.

"So, ready to pass the evening with me??" he asked with a small laugh.

"Is it so hard to pass the evening with you?" she asked wondering why he was saying that.

"I hope not!!" he said smiling.

They were both feeling a little uncomfortable but they started talking about things and other so the tension got down. It was like their first evening as a couple and they both didn't know how to act. Nick didn't want to go to fast because Rachel would think he just wanted to make love to her. He really wanted to do more than just kiss but... he didn't know if he should.

"What movie do you wanna see??" Rachel asked him.

"Anything...I just want to be with you!" he said with a sexy smile.

"Alright then.." she said smiling back. "Let's watch... 10 things I hate about you??" she added knowing that Nick would probably grimace. What he did... but then he smiled and said that it was okay. They started watching the movie, Nick holding her tight in his arms. He was caressing her and kissing her often during the movie, what she was also doing. When it was the part where the boy sing "you're just too good to be true, can't take my eyes off of you...", Nick was whispering the song in Rachel's ear.

"You're so sweet" she said before to put a long and sweet kiss on his lips. He then felt really attracted to her and let his tongue into her mouth, what she also did. It was their real first big kiss and they were both really enjoying it. Nick really wanted to go further but he thought that maybe she wasn't ready yet and that it wasn't the time to talk about it now. He broke the kiss and hold her tighter. He didn't want to let her go and she didn't want to leave this arms who were feeling so safe. But the movie got at the end and they both thought it was time to go sleep because tomorrow would be a hard day.

"Thanks a lot of the evening!" Rachel said looking at Nick's sweet blue eyes.

"Thank you!" he said smiling. "I really enjoyed it. Come back anytime!" he added sneering.

"I will!" she replied laughing.

Nick got closer to her and then put his lips on hers. That kiss was as incredible as the other. It was a soft, sweet and passionate kiss.

"I love you!" Rachel said when they broke the kiss.

Nick felt stange when she said that. He never thought she'd say this now. It felt strange to hear this sentence...the last time he'v heard this, it was a long time ago. But it felt good to hear it from Rachel's mouth.

"I love you too!" he said before to kiss her again. Then she walked away, always smiling.





In the next after noon,Aj and Becky did not speak to each other yet. Last Night Becky came back of the club alone in a cab.She didn't know why but she was angry with Alex and it's was the same for him.

When he woke up he realize that he had forget his sun glasses in Becky's room after the little ghost battle of the other night. He dressed up and walked to her room.When Becky opened the door she didn't say a word, let the door open and got back to her package.

"Humm Can I come in?!?!"he asked

"What do you want?!?!" asked Becky back.

"I just forgot my glassed the other time and I come to get them back" he said in procative way

She threw his glass to him and did not said a word.

"Thank!!"He said on the same way and walk to the door. Before he passed out the door he reminded is mind and close the door.

"Why are you angry about me?!?"he asked out loud

"Me ?!?! you ask me why I am angry with you?!?"she asked suprised

"Yeah... witch word you don't understand?!? is it too complicated for your little head?!?"he said looking at her frustrated

"You make me sick!!!"she said ruddly

"Ho I'm sorryyyyy If I make miss. Sick ya know!!I did not mean to make you sick but you have to tell me why your angry about me cuz.. 'I' did not did something to upset you!!!"he replied on the same way.

"You did not?!?! Sorry but you really did!!!"

"And What about you!! you know you pissed me off...and am I angry about you?!?!"he said very quickly and really upset

"hooo Yes you are....and why could you be upset with me huh?!?! I was not the one who was dancing with all the bitchy in the place last night.. it was you, not me"said Becky walking closer to him very upset

"Ho no huh?!?!? What do you think you were doing ?!? you were dancing with all the boys in the place... You know what..you're the one who make me sick" he said. Becky could see the frustation in his eyes. She knew he was really upset and so she was.

"GET OUT OF MY ROOM YOU FUCKING LOOSER"she yelled

Aj Ran over the room so upset that he could'nt see Naomie in the hallway.He ran to his room.
