Chapter 13

Yvette and Nick were walking through the mall in silence...Nick broke the silence. "Do you want something to eat... because I'm starving!" Nick said "Is that everything you think about? Sure. Ill go with you. But I'm not hungry" Yvette replied "But I don't want you to just watch me eating... you have to eat something..." "Nick, I already ate... but I could drink a shake" "Okay!" Nick said They were feeling sort of uncomfortable after the kiss they had on Yve's room so they were walking separately. "I have to do something.. I like him so much... I can't take this... he's too distant" Yve thought. Suddenly when they were on the escalator Nick grabbed Yve's hand in some spontaneous way. He just smiled at her and she smiled back. When they got out of the stairs Nick ran grabbing Yvette with him. "Where are you going?" Yvette said laughing. "Nowhere!" Nick practically shouted. When they finished their little race in the food court they were laughing when Nick stood in front of Yve. "Yve... I wanted to ask you something" Nick began "What?" Yve said laughing "Do you feel comfortable with all this?" "Nick, you know that I feel comfortable around you, why are you asking?" "I don't know... I feel that you're distant..." "But, what makes you think that?" "It's that since we kissed that day... I just wanted you to know..." "You wanted me to know what?" "That" Nick said smiling "I really like you. But you know what else?" "What?" He whispered in Yvette's ear: "I'm starting to fall in love with you" "I feel the same way" she whispered back with a smile on her face. Nick leaned in to kiss Yvette. "Wait!!! " Yvette shouted "What?" "So this means that I have chances to be your girlfriend?" "You already are my girlfriend..." "But you never asked me" "I can show you now" This time Nick leaned over Yve and she deepened the kiss "Yeah I think there are other ways..." Yve said a little breathless but grinning. "You see? I never lie... " Nick said smiling at her and putting his arm around her. "Do you wanna have something to eat?" "Before we get something to eat I wanna ask you something..." Yve said "what?" "Do you remember the day we met?" "Yeah" "Do you remember the wishes we made at the beach?" "Yeah... I remember..." "I wanted to ask you if your wish came true... because mine did came true..." "And what was your wish?" "Well.. I wished that someday we could be together... and it came true..." "Stars don't lie..." "Why do you know that?" "Because my wish came true too... I wished for courage..." "Courage? For what?" "To do this..." He kissed her "I love you " Nick said "I love you too" Yvette replied ....................................................................... "Where's Howie?" Yvette asked "Where's Alexandra?" Nick asked "They took a cab back to the house" Krystel said "They bumped into us in the pretzel place" Brian added "Oh!" Amaya said. Yvette looked surprised. "What movie are we going to see?" Amaya asked "How about Cruel Intentions?" AJ asked "I heard it's pretty bad" Amaya replied "Then what are we waiting for?" Brian said Krystel caught his drift and blushed a little. "I don't care... can we just go see something?" Nick asked "Fine" AJ said They proceeded to buy the tickets and entered the theater. Yvette and Nick sat next to each other, Brian was next to Nick and Amaya was next to Krystel who was next to Brian and AJ of course was next to Amaya. Carla and Kevin decided they wanted to watch some other movie... About halfway through the movie AJ told Amaya to tell Krystel to tell Brian to tell Nick to breathe. "Someone's really interested in the movie..." Amaya said to AJ "Yup" he replied Nick and Yvette didn't take revenge because they didn't see AJ and Amaya doing anything wrong. Not that Yvette and Nick were doing anything THAT wrong. They movie ended without any more comments and they met up with Kev and Carla and then went back to the house. ....................................................................... The next morning everybody slept in. It was Saturday. "Guys... come on and hurry up! We don't have all day for you!" Maya shouted "If you don't want to eat cereal with milk you better come down now and help us with breakfast!" Alexandra said The first guy who came down was Kevin... "Good morning everyone!" "Morning Carla" Kev said as he came where Carla was. "Morning" said Carla as she hugged him "How are you feeling about your ankle? I forgot yesterday..." "Well... you saw me yesterday and I was walking well so how do you think.... Good as long as I'm with you..." Kevin leaned to kiss Carla when Howie came downstairs. "Morning everyone!" Howie said "and a special good morning to..." Howie walked towards Alexandra and gave her a kiss - "you"... "Why thank you... That took me by surprise..." Alexandra said smiling "Hi everyone" Brian said a little sleepy "Hi Brian!" Krystel said to cheer him up. "Why are you so happy?" Brian asked "Nothing special..." Krystel answered "Oh nothing special? What about your boyfriend?" "Well besides that..." "Where the hell are Nick and AJ?" Yve said "I bet they are sleeping..." Kev said "I'll look for them... "Bri said Brian went upstairs to find AJ and Nick sleeping peacefully. He ran back downstairs. "Give me 2 glasses of water" Bri said "For what?" Maya said "To wake AJ and Nick..."Bri said smiling "Okay...But you're going to take the blame...we had nothing to do with it..." Amaya said as she gave Brian the 2 glasses of water "Ok I'll take the blame" Bri said as he went upstairs... He went to AJ's room first. He just threw the water on his face and ran out of the room. "What the..." AJ screamed "Why did you do that?" Brian was laughing outside the room when AJ noticed his laughing. "Brian!" AJ shouted "What the hell did you do that? " "Well I had to wake you up... The girls asked me to wake you up so I woke you up..." Brian said smiling. "I'm gonna get you!" "Not now, I have to wake Nick up..." "Oh yeah?!?! Let's see how the kid reacts" They went to Nick's room where he was sleeping like a little child. "Ok...One...Two...Three" Brian said as he threw the water on Nick's face... "Ah man! What the hell!" AJ and Brian were laughing outside. "Who did this?" Nick said as Brian and AJ entered the room. "Who did this?" AJ said mocking Nick. "I'm serious!" Nick said whining at the same time. "Well...we had to wake you up because the girls will go soon and we are trying to help them make breakfast..."Brian said "Ok... but that was no friggin' reason for you to throw water at my face!" Nick said. "Ah Nick sorry ... we were joking.. He threw water on me too..."AJ said "Well come on... let's help the girls..." Nick said but with an angry look on his face. They went downstairs when the girls greeted them. "Morning guys!" Alexandra said "Morning Alexandra" said AJ "Morning" said Nick very serious "Nick, what's wrong?" Yve asked "Nothing..." Nick said in a flat tone. "Come on in here for a sec, sweetie" Yve said grabbing Nick's arm and going to the living room. "Nick what's wrong?" Yvette asked again "I said nothing!" said Nick "This is not the Nick I know, You know you can trust me..." "I'm just angry..." "For what?" "I'm just angry... you know they didn't have to throw water at me..." Yvette laughed "So that's why you're angry?" "Why are you laughing???" "You're cute when you're angry... Look Nick... that's just an excuse to be angry." "But that made me really really angry!" he whined "Can I help?" Yvette asked "Help? How?" Yvette gave Nick a sweet little peck on his lips. "Come on, can you help me w/ breakfast?" Yvette whispered "Sure! Come on!" he grinned Nick grabbed Yvette's hand and they walked hand in hand to the kitchen where the other guys were. Maya, Yve, Kevin and Howie made french toast. Alexandra and Krystel made coffee. Since Nick and Brian didn't know how to cook they made orange juice and AJ and Carla set the table. "This is excellent! And delicious! " Brian said "Well guys... since we are all here and it's one of the first times that the ten of us are here I would like to say something" Kev said "Go ahead!" Howie said "Well Frick, Howie and I were talking and we are going back to Florida tomorrow morning" Kev said "Why?" Carla interrupted. "Wait, I'm not finished yet... and we decided to ask Alexandra Krystel and Carla if they want to come with us... We have your tickets here so all you have to say is yes or no. "But Kevin..." "Yes or no?" Kev said "Yes" Carla said as she hugged Kevin "Of course" Krystel said as she kissed Brian "Well... Alexandra... It's your choice... You're the only one left to decide. Yes or no?" Brian asked "No..." Everyone stared at her especially Howie "...because Howie wasn't the one who asked" Alexandra said smiling "Would you like to go with me to Florida?" Howie asked "Yes" Alexandra shouted as she hugged Howie. "Wait a minute..." Amaya shouted "You guys are leaving tomorrow... you said Howie, Kev and Brian were going to Florida... What about you two?" looking at AJ and Nick. "We'll stay here!" AJ said "Cool! We can spend time together!" Maya said "Well it's all arranged... Howie, Brian, Krystel, Alexandra, Carla and I will go to Florida and Yve, Nick, Maya and AJ will stay!" Kev said "This is the best summer of my life!" Carla said "Oh shit!" Maya said "What?" Yve asked "We have to leave, it's 11 o'clock and we had to be on the Beauty Parlor at 12... The premiere starts at 7:30 right?" "Yep..." AJ said "Well we have to go now..." Krystel said "Do you mind if we ask you a favor? " Alexandra said "No, what?" Howie said "Will you wash the dishes for us?" Alexandra said "Ah man.... that's unfair!" AJ said "Do you want us to go to the Premiere with you???" Maya asked "Yes" AJ answered "Well if you wash the dished we will go with you... Ok? Cappicce?!?" Maya said smiling at AJ as she headed towards the door. "Wait... you forgot something..." AJ said "What?" Maya asked "Goodbye kisses for everyone..." AJ said She ran back and gave everyone a kiss on the cheek and ran towards the door. "Bye everyone!" the girls shouted "Bye!" the guys shouted back. ....................................................................... The girls were out all day in the Beauty Parlor having their hair and make up done. It was 6 PM when the girls returned home... The girls sneaked in because they didn't want the guys to see them. They went to their rooms and started to dress up for the big night. It was 7 PM when the guys were already downstairs. "Girls... hurry up. The premiere will start in 30 minutes!" Howie shouted "We're coming!" Krystel shouted Five minutes later the girls were going downstairs one at a time. "Well let's go... " Kev said grabbing Carla's hand. Last but not least Amaya came downstairs... The only thing that AJ did was whistle at her... Amaya just laughed. "So what do you think?" Maya asked "I think you look beautiful... sweet...." AJ said smiling mischievously at her "... sexy..." "Cut it off AJ!" AJ kissed Maya's hand and they reunited with the group. "Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Krystel said Just as Krystel said that a limousine pulled up in front of Maya's house. "Guys, what's this?" Yve asked "Well, you girls HAVE to arrive in style, don't you?" Nick said "Thank you guys..." Maya said "Shall we go?" Kev asked "Yup... let's go..." Alexandra said They got into the limousine and served themselves some champagne that the guys ordered. "Let's make a toast!" Howie said "To this night... that it promises to be special..." "To this night!" Brian said They drank the champagne and they talked a bit more. When they got to the hotel where the premiere was they got off of the limousine with a little fear of the press but then they relaxed when they saw that the press didn't pay much attention to them, since all the hype was around the actors. The premiere was over and there was a party afterwards. The guys decided to take the girls so they went there. Amaya and AJ were dancing and Kevin and Carla were talking outside. "They look so cute together" Alexandra said "Don't doubt it... " Howie replied "Do you notice something strange about them?" Nick asked "Like what?" Yvette asked "I think that they are more than friends..." Nick said "Nah they look like friends." Krystel said "But what makes you think that Frack?" Bri said "Nevermind... It's just my imagination." Nick answered Nick and Yvette were talking with Krystel and Brian at the table while Maya and AJ were still dancing. "I wonder what happened with Alexandra and Howie" Yvette said "Come on... let's look for them..." Nick said grabbing Yvette's hand A couple of minutes later they gave up their search, and walked over to the indoor garden of the house. The house was an old Spanish design, so it had an open indoor garden. In the middle of the garden, was a big ornate water fountain (not the kind you drink from) Yvette sat down at the edge of it and Nick sat right beside her taking her hand. "I was wondering..." Yve said "What?" "What is going to happen with us when you go back on tour?" "Nothing, I'll be with you still" "I don't believe in long distance relationships" "We'll make it work" "Nick, I'm 17… please, understand" "I can't… I love you" he said looking deep into her green eyes. "Please" "I love you, and I'm not gonna stop now… Don't worry about it" She put her head on his shoulder. "Sure you're not gonna leave me for a 20 yr. Old dumb blond you find?" "Never" he reassured her after he laughed at her comment. He put his arms around her and brought her closer to him.
