Chapter Six
~Later That Night~
“Hey Nick?”
“Yep?”
“You know earlier, at rehersal, when you said we’d talk?”
“Yeah.”
“Wanna talk?”
“Sure, but wait, come with me.”
“Okay.”
Nick took Becca’s hand and pulled her inside. He went and got a blindfold, and put it over her eyes.
“Where are we going?”
“You’ll see.”
They started walking a little while, and then he sat her down and took the blindfold off her eyes.
“Nick, it’s beautiful!”
They were sitting on Nick’s boat, right where they could sit and look at the stars.
“I’m glad you like it. Wanna talk now?”
“Of course, now what is it that’s bothering you?”
“Well, I wasn’t really bothered by anything, I was just thinking about how much my life has changed in the past month. I mean, it sucked right before that.”
“Yeah...is that it?”
“Well, Riley has been trying hard lately.”
“She’s gone now.”
“Yeah, but she doesn’t give up that easily. She’ll be back. Look, Becca, do you feel like you have my trust back?”
“Yes...why...”
“Will you be my girlfriend? I love you.”
“I love you too, Nick.”
“Is that a yes?” Nick said....very excitedly.
“Chill, Carter! Yes. It’s a yes.”
“You know how long it took me to ask you that?”
“Haha...well, you got it out.”
“Yep, thank goodness.”
“Well, I’m glad Nick. I was always secretly hoping that I would see you again, but then I saw you on TV, famous and all, and I realized that that probably wouldn’t happen. And now that I have...well...”
“Yeah. What time is it?”
“8:30, why?”
“Well, remember when we were like 14, and at night we’d go to Burger King and buy some food, since it's right down the road, then pig out on the beach?”
“Of course I remember, why?”
“Hungry?”
“Sure.”
