Chapter Seven

"I don’t know why he has to do this to her!!" screamed Tiela. By now it was eleven o’clock, and she was quite tired because she woke up so early to go out with Nick.

"What else has he ever done to her?" asked Nick.

"I’m not supposed to say." She said.

"Was it really bad?" Nick questioned.

"Sort of, but she doesn’t like us talking about it." She replied.

"Please tell me, I won’t tell anybody I know."

"Okay, awhile back Kris and Emily went out on a date and she saw an old boyfriend of hers. His name was Nick. He had had moved away so they had broken up but they still remained friends. She was waiting in line for their drinks and they were talking. When the drinks came she gave him her phone number and a kiss on the cheek and told him to call her sometime before he left again for North Carolina. Kris was at the table and saw this. He thought that her and Nick were going to hook back up again. They finished their drinks and he took her back to his place, not saying anything to her about what he saw. When they got inside he pushed her up against the wall and slapped her across the face. She was afraid to leave him because of what he might do and also because she truly felt that she loved him. We all tried to convince her otherwise, but she wouldn’t listen. I think moving down her was a good idea, because she could get away from him. I guess we all thought wrong."

"Wow, that’s so sad." Was all Nick could say. He was in complete awe.

"I know, do you want to watch a movie or something?" she asked.

"Sure, why not?"

"Do you want to watch Titanic??"

"Sure"

"Okay," so Tiela popped in Titanic and sat and cuddled up to Nick, laying her head on his chest. In the middle of the movie, Nick lifted Tiela’s chin and kissed her cheek gently. Soon their lips met and they deepened their kisses and started to make out. By the end of the movie, they had fallen asleep on the couch in each other’s arms.

Nick rolled over falling off the couch, waking himself up completely. He sat up slowly and look at his surroundings. A smile spread across his face when he saw Tiela sleeping peacefully on the couch. She looks like an angel he thought to himself. Nick slowly picked himself up off the floor and once again laid next to Tiela. Startled by his movement Tiela opened her eyes and stared at Nick. "Hey" she whispered.

"Hey, baby!" he replied.

"I think we should get up"

"Maybe, your right." He said, reluctantly. Tiela sat up slowly. Nick sat up behind her and he wrapped his arms around her waist. She felt very safe lying there.

"Do you want breakfast??" she asked.

"Sure, I’ll help you make it." He said, they both got up off the couch and went into the kitchen. There were four notes lying on the table, they read:

DEAR NICK AND TIELA,,

ME AND EMILY WENT TO DISNEY, BE BACK LATER. YOU TWO WERE SO CUUUTTTE LYING ON THE COUCH WE JUST COULDN’T WAKE YOU!!!

AJ and Emily

DEAR NICK AND T,

Me and Brian went to the mall. We probably won’t be home until later tonight. TaTa,

Brian and Sarah

Dear Nicky and T,

Me and Trisha went out. We’ll be home later.

Howie and Trisha

Dear Kaos and Tiela,

Kev and I went out to Disney. Not with AJ and Emily though. Toodles!

Ash and Kev

"God, everybody went out without us." Said Tiela.

"That means we got the house to ourselves." Said Nick. "Come on, there’s something I always wanted to do, when nobody was home." Nick took her upstairs and pulled her on the bed. He started jumping up and down like a maniac.

"You’re too cute!!" said Tiela, laughing hysterically.

"I know, come on." He pulled her up on the bed. They kept jumping until Nick fell on the ground from laughing so hard. Tiela jumped off the bed and sat down beside Nick. He pulled her on top of him and gave her a passionate kiss. They both pulled away in awe. "Wow" said Nick.

"Yeah," said Tiela.

"Come on, we still haven’t had our breakfast yet." She replied.

"We don’t need breakfast."

"Well, then what do you want to do then?"

"Let’s watch another movie like we did last night."

"You just wanna watch a movie because we started making out in the middle of it!" she retorted.

"Maybe, that’s it. Or, maybe I just like movies. Or maybe I just like you."

"You’re too sweet."

"I try. Tiela, would you be my girlfriend?"

"Yes, Nick, I’d have the honor."

Nick kissed her again this time pinning her down.

"Hey!" she yelped giggling coyly.

They were both goofing around until Howie and Trisha walked in. "Sorry, to interrupt!!" said Howie, as they turned around hurriedly and left. Nick and Tiela got up and scurried after them. "Wait, guys. It’s not what it looks like." Said Nick, quite embarrassed.

"We know what you were doing. Don’t worry Nick." Said Trisha.

"Okay, good." Said Tiela, with a sigh of relief.

"We’ll be right back!" said Nick, pulling Howie out of the room, and closing the door behind them. Trisha started humming Have You Ever? By Brandy. Then Tiela and her began singing, forgetting that Nick and Howie could walk in any moment.

Have you ever loved somebody so much

It makes you cry

Have you ever need someone so bad

You can’t sleep at night

Have you ever tried to find the words but the don’t come out right

Have you ever, have you ever

Have you ever been in love

Been in love so bad

You’d do anything to make them understand……….

Nick and Howie had been standing outside the doors for a few minutes. "I never knew they could sing, did you?"

"No, they’re unbelievable!!!" replied Nick.

"Come on, be real quiet! If they don’t see us I’m sure they will keep singing!!"

"Okay" said Nick. They snuck in quietly, without the girls realizing that they were there.

Have you ever searched for words to get you in the heart

But you don’t know what to say

And you don’t know where to start

Have you ever loved somebody so much

It makes you cry

Have you ever need something so bad

You can’t sleep at night

Have you ever tried to find the words

But they don’t come out right

Have you ever, have you ever

Have you ever found the one

You’ve dreamed of all your life

You’d do anything to look into their eyes

Have you finally found the one you’ve given your heart to

Only to find that they won’t give their heart to you

Have you eve closed you eyes

And dreamed that they were there

And all you can do is wait for that day when they will care

What do I gotta do to get you in my arms, baby

What do I gotta do to get to your heart

To make you understand how I need you next to me

Gotta get you in my world

‘Coz baby I can’t sleep

Have you ever loved somebody so much

It makes you cry

Have you ever needed something so bad

You can’t sleep at night

Have you ever tried to find the words

But they don’t come out right

Have you ever, have you ever

Have you ever loved somebody so much

It makes you cry

Have you ever need something so bad

You can’t sleep at night

Have you ever tried to find the words

But they don’t come out right

Have you ever, have you ever

Nick and Howie started clapping as loud as they could from the side of the bed, where they had been hidden. Tiela blushed while Trisha began to have an asthma attack.

"Oh god!!" cried Tiela

"Oh no, what’s wrong??" asked Howie.

"Go into her top dresser and get her inhalants!! Hurry!!" screamed Tiela.

About ten minutes later Trisha was fine again. "So, you’re telling us that you just had an asthma attack because we heard you sing??!!??" asked Nick, questioningly.

"I know it sounds pathetic but yes!!" she screeched.

Tiela whispered something in Nick’s ear and they both got up and left.

After they did so Howie asked, "Are we still on for dancing tonight?? I understand if you’re not up for it"

"Of course we are. I could never say no to you." she said as she brushed his lips lightly with hers.
