After a few minutes of kissing they decided they better go home because it was almost midnight and Nick had a gig in the morning. They arrived at Nick's house around midnight. Nick walked Macey to the guest room.
"Hey, do you wanna come to our gig tomorrow and meet the guys?"-Nick
"Sure, that sounds great, what time are you going at?"-Macey
"Could you be ready by 10?"-Nick
"Uh, I won't get my 12 hours of sleep."-Macey said sarcastically, "But I guess I can go."
"Goodnight and sweet dreams."-Nick Nick leaned over and kissed her.
"Goodnight," Macey said after she kissed him back
The next morning Macey was ready by 9:30, she made sure she looked perfect, but Nick wasn’t ready until 10:15.
"Ready?"-Nick
"Yep."-Macey
"Then lets go!"-Nick
About a half hour later they arrived at the Ice Palace in Tampa, FL with the other guys there waiting for them.
"Hey Nicky where ya been, you're a little late aren't ya?" Brian said jokingly
"Who's this lovely lady, could it be Macey??" A.J.
"Yeah, well since Nick isn't going to introduce me, I'm Macey Taylor."-Macey
"We know who you are."-Kevin
"Yeah, I mean all Nick did the other day was talk about you."-Howie
"Really?" Macey said smiling at Nick, she could see he was blushing.
"Um...yeah I was telling them how we grew up together then you moved away."-Nick
"Oh," Macey said smiling
"But that's not all, he also told us how much he liked you..."-AJ
"...and still does." Brian said finishing AJ's sentence.
"Shut up guys!"Nick said blushing some more.
"So are we gonna introduce ourselves or are we gonna stand here all day and leave her wondering who we are?"Howie
"Well I'm Brian, but you can call me B-Rok"
"I'm AJ, you can call Bone”
“We call him Boner”-Brian
"I'm Kevin, just call me Kev"
"And I would be Howie, you can call me D, Sweet D, or whatever you feel like calling me"
Macey instantly became good friends with Brian and AJ. About a week later Macey decided she would rent a condo on the beach in Ruskin for the summer so she could see Nick, she also decided to check out the University of Tampa.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One evening, 2 months later, after going to dinner they decided to go back to Macey's place to watch movies. They were about to sit down, when Nick could see the sun setting from the big picture window in Macey's condo. They both decided to go out on the beach to watch it.
"This is like deja vu, weren't we doing this a couple of months ago?”Macey
"If i remember right we were, but we were also doing this" Nick said as he leaned over and kissed her.
After a few minutes of kissing they decided to go inside and watch the movie they rented, Good Will Hunting.
"Have you ever seen this before?"Macey
"Nope, but I heard its good"Nick
"It's one of my favorite movies"Macey
"Then it must be good"Nick
After the movie was over they started talking
"So did ya like it?"Macey
"Yeah, it got me thinking"Nick
"About what?"Macey
"You, and me"Nick
"You know I have to go on a tour soon, but it's only for a month?"Nick
"Yeah, I know"Macey
"Well do ya wanna come with me?'Nick
"Nick, I don't think I should, I need to do some things back here then I've gotta go to Orlando and register for classes at Central Florida University."Macey
"Well I thought you were gonna go to school in Tampa?”Nick
"I was, but I need a good voice teacher, and the one i need is in Orlando, and at CFU they have the classes I want ot take"Macey
"Ok, but where are you going to live?”Nick
"In Orlando, on campus"Macey
"When am I going to see you?"Nick
"I'll come down here a lot, and you can come visit me you know?"Macey
"Yeah I could come up on weekends and stay with Bri"Nick
"Nick, I have to do this for me, I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner, but you have so many other things on your mind right now, like the tour"Macey
"Yeah I know, but I have you on my mind too, I care about you, a lot"Nick
"I know I care about you a lot too"Macey, as she kissed him gently on the lips and then said; "So ya wanna watch Saturday Night Live?
"Yeah, sounds good to me"Nick
About an hour later Nick noticed Macey had fallen asleep on his shoulder, he didn't want to wake her up because he thought she looked so cute, so he moved them so that they were both laying sideways on the couch w/ her in front of him. Then he pulled her fleece blanket over them.
They were both really tired and didn't wake up until 11am the next day.
"Uh, what time is it?”Nick
"11, why?"Macey
"Well I had to meet the guys at 10 at the recording studios"Nick
"Well I'll go get the phone, you better call them and your parents cuz they all probably are wondering where you are"Macey
10 minutes later Nick was off the phone and said he needed to go right away cuz the guys were waiting on him.
"Bye sweetie"Nick
"Bye"Macey
"I love you"-Nick. That was the first time Nick had ever said that to a girl, it just came right out of his mouth, but he didn't regret it because he knew it was true.
"I love you too"Macey
