A Change Of Heart
Capter 9
By:Kate
We left the studio and decided to just walk
around the town a little.
We were both being really quiet. Nick kicked every stone
that was beneath
his feet, while I looked around, pretending to look at things,
although I
was only thinking about Nick.
I finally decided to break the silence.
So are you having fun? I asked.
At the same time, Nick blurted something out.
Why are we so weird? he asked me.
I didnt know if he heard what I said, but I didnt
care. I wanted this boy
to explain what exactly he meant by calling us weird.
Huh? I asked.
At that moment my cell phone rang. I didnt even
answer it because I wanted
Nick to explain himself.
As it kept ringing, Nick said, Arent you going to
answer it?
Well, I wanted to hear what you had to say.
Just answer it, he told me.
As I went to answer it the phone stopped. Ahh-gotta hate
that!
So how come you didnt give me your number yet?
he asked, after seeing I
missed the call.
You never asked for it, I said.
I didnt think a man with my structure had to ask for
it, he said, trying
to make me laugh.
Right. How could I be so stupid.
He than took his cell phone out of his pocket and asked for my
number. As I
told him it, he put it in the phonebook on his cell phone.
Arent you gonna ask for my number? Nick asked
me.
Now why would I want your number? I asked him,
fooling around.
It could come in handy, just like your number will come in
handy to me one
day. You just wait and see. Nick said to me.
Yeah, wouldnt want to miss that opportunity of
getting a Backstreet Boys
phone number.
I resent that! Nick said.
After I put his number in my cell, I was anxious to get back to
the
conversation that was interrupted by the phone.
So what were you saying about us being...what was it?
Weird? I asked
Nick.
Well, why are we so weird? I mean look at us.
Not even ten minutes ago we
were in there talking like we were great friends, and right now
we are
avoiding each other, as if we never met. Same thing as
before. After I
kissed you in the dressing room things were cool, but than we go
to do some
shots for the video and we both go all weird on each other.
What is going
on?
Whoa- that boy had a lot to say, didnt he.
Im sorry, I said, not knowing what he wanted me
to say.
Sorry for what? I said it was both of
us
its not your fault. Its..Its
just
..I dont know-I just was wondering if you felt
that way, too. He
said, starting to regret what he told me because he was starting
to feel a
little embarrassed.
No I understand what you are saying. In fact, I was
wondering why we were
like that, too. I told him.
Really? he asked, surprised.
Well, yeah. I mean we get so awkward on each other,
why cant we just act
normal all the time, I said.
You see thats what I thought. But than I was
thinking-
Whoa-wait till the boys here about how much you were
thinking. They will
be amazed! I said, interrupting him.
He looked at me, and I quickly said, Sorry. Go
on.
He smiled and continued. I was just thinking about
how we both get awkward
like that TOGETHER so basically it is just one more thing that we
have in
common, ya know?
You always know how to turn things around and make them
positive, Nick, I
told him.
But do you get what Im saying? he asked.
Yeah defiantly. I said.
He stopped walking and turned to face me, face to face. He
grabbed both of
my hands with his and said, Thats why we should
promise each other to
never go weird on each other like that again.
Ok, I said.
Ok, so its a promise? Nick asked me.
Its no promise, but I will really try, I said.
He looked at me with puppy dog eyes that were just soooo cute!
What? I said, referring to his puppy eyes,
Youre just so intimidating
that I cant help the way I feel and act,
I am NOT intimidating, he whined.
Intimidating in the means of your great looks of
course, I put it in that
way, so he would agree with me.
Well, since you put it that way
He smiled.
Bingo! Told you I knew he would agree with me if I just
threw in some
compliments here and there about him.
Alright, so its official. We will never go
weird-or atleast try never to-
go weird on each other again.
Right, I said, nodding my head.
Well now that we got that covered, how bout we finish our
walk, Nick said.
I nodded as he let go of one of my hands of the two he was still
holding,
and we continued to walk down the street, still with one of my
hands
intertwined into his. He wasnt letting go, and as far
as I was concerned,
I wasnt going to let ago either.
Talk about that boy being smooth.
