“Are you writing this down?” Cameron asked.
“Yep,” Nicole said jotting down the lyrics Cameron was rattling off as he
played around with some chords on his guitar. “This is sweet.”
“Hey guys,” Scott said, stretching as he made his way to the back of the
bus. “We’re stopping at Taco Bell. What do you want?”
“I’ll come in with you,” Nicole said following Scott.
“Me too,” Cameron said laying his guitar down and exiting the bus.

“Cole?” Taylor quietly called, barely opening the door to the women’s
bathroom.
“Taylor, what are you doing?” Nicole asked standing in front of the
mirror as she dragged her fingers through her hair.
“Is anyone else in there?” He asked still standing outside the door.
She walked over to the door and opened it for him. “Just me.”
He stepped in and looked around nervously. “What are you doing?”
She let out a small laugh. “Are you okay?”
He reached behind him and turned the lock on the door. Nicole raised
one eyebrow and took his hand off the door to pull him closer. He stuck his
fingers in one of the beltloops of her jeans and let go of her hand. He pulled her
against his body and trapped her lips with his while he trailed his hands over
her hips. She smiled againt his mouth and backed him up against the door.
Nicole ran her hands down Taylor’s chest and inched her fingers up his shirt.
Taylor felt a push against his back when someone on the other side was trying to
get in.
Nicole pulled away and pressed her lips together trying to be quiet.
Taylor searched her eyes as the door was pushed again.
“Hello?” A girl’s voice called.
Taylor’s eyes widened. “Jessica,” he mouthed.
“Um.. okay. Nicole? Are you in there?” Jessica asked.
“Yeah,” Nicole stepped back.
“The door’s locked,” Jessica said.
“It is?” Nicole raised her eyebrows. She pulled Taylor away from the
door and pushed him into a stall. “Um, hold on.” Nicole went over and
unlocked the door. “Sorry Jessica,” she smiled.
“Why was the door locked?” Jessica asked making her way to one of the
stalls.
“I have no idea,” Nicole said. Once Jessica had locked her door, Nicole
reached over Taylor’s stall and motioned for him to come out.
After another hour on the road, Nicole heard her cell phone ring in her bunk
on the bus. She layed down on her bed and picked it up. “Hello?” She
answered.
“What are we doing?” Taylor asked.
Nicole smiled. “Hey Taylor.”
“Seriously, Cole. I don’t understand what’s going on,” Taylor said
quietly. He leaned against the back wall of his bunk and raised his knees.
She liked when he called her Cole. He was the only one who did that.
“Well it’s obvious that I want you,” she told him.
Her straightforwardness always embarassed him and turned him on at
the same time. “I guess,” he laughed.
“Taylor, you’re beautiful. I just wanna take you home and put you on my
wall,” she explained. “What else do you want me to say?”
“So you’ll go out with me again?” Taylor smiled.
“Are you kidding? Of course.”
“Good. And listen, I really like you. You know that, right?” He asked.
“Now I do,” she said.
“So next stop where we stay over for a night, we’ll go out. Is that cool?”
He suggested.
“Sure.”
