~*Chapter 13*~
Brian was up watching Tv when Nick snuck through the hotel door a little
after 3am.He looked up and smirked.
"Hot date with Blane?," he cracked,and Nick blushed as he came over and
sat down next to him on the couch.
"You could say that," he answered,and they both laughed."So what's been
going on since me and Blane left the party?"
Brian shrugged."Kevin and Jane FINALLY made-up.They've been in her hotel
room all night,doing only God-knows-what." He glanced over at Nick."What have
you and Blane been doing for the past 4 hours?" A glint of mischief sparkled
in his eyes.
Nick blushed."I've just been with the most incredible,most beautiful
woman in the world,enjoying her company for the past couple hours," he
answered.
Brian grinned."You two are sleeping together,aren't you?I knew there was
something different about you.How long has this been going on?," he
questioned.
Nick smiled."About 3 weeks now.She's just so amazing,Bri.You'd never
imagine," he stated.
Brian nodded."Yeah I can.Me and Lisa have the exact same thing," he said.
Nick stood up and stretched."I'm going to bed.See you in the morning," he
replied.Brian said goodnight,then Nick ent to his room and closed the
door.The minute his head hit the pillow,he was dead to the world.Being with
Blane had really worn him out!
************~*Chapter 14*~**************
Kevin woke up in the middle of the night and reached for Jane,but her
side of the bed was empty.He say up and glanced over at the alarm clock on
the table-it was 4:15am.Then he glanced up and saw her standing on the
outside balcony.He pulled on his robe and went outside to join her.
"Hey," he replied,as he placed his hands on her shoulders.She turned and
smiled at him.
"I couldn't sleep so I thought I'd come out and get some fresh air," she
told him.She wrapped her robe tighter around her as a chill whipped through
the air.
He leaned his arms on the railing and looked out at the dark city.Lights
twinkled here and there,but there was absolutely no sound.He looked over at
Jane then,and noticed that her cheeks were wet.Without hesitating,he reached
over and wiped the tears away.
"What's wrong?," he asked,as he went to fold her into his arms.But she
pulled away and wrapped her arms tighter around her.
"Kevin,I can't keep this up.I know we agreed to work on out
relationship,but..," she began,then started to cry again.After a moment,she
continued."You and I want different things out of life.And we hardly spend
any time together anymore because of your busy schedule.And I just can't deal
with it anymore." She wiped her eyes and took a deep breath."I'm going back
home tomorrow.It's over between us."
Kevin's mouth fell open."You're leaving me just because we hardly spend
any time together?Are you saying I shouldn't be in this business?There's no
way I could ever stop doing this.I feel like you're making me choose between
my career and you."
She sighed."That's exactly what I mean.We want different things," she
explained to him.She turned and walked back toward the room.She stopped at
the door and looked back at him."I'm sorry Kevin.I think this is best."
He grabbed her arm."How could you make love to me tonight,pretending
everything was ok,then turn around and break up with me?," he asked,his eyes
filling with tears.
She gently pulled from his grasp."I can't talk about this now,Kevin.I'm
sorry," she said.She kissed him one last time before going back
inside,leaving him staring after her in disbelief.
