"Alexia, hey wait up!" Alexia heard this and immediately turned, though the person she found behind her was someone she liked, it made her uneasy. "So should I take out the restraining order now or would you like to stalk me a little longer?" She smiled at the image in front of her: a good looking man, wearing a pair of khaki cargo pants and a blue tee shirt and sunglasses.

"What? Why would you do that?" Nick answered as he lifted his sunglasses showing his deep blue eyes that could mend any broken heart 'But also break it,' Alexia thought to herself.

"Well I've been here in Florida for two weeks now and I've seen more of you than I've seen of Cat," Alexia said as she wiped a little sweat off of her forehead.

"Well I like to fight for what I want," he said smiling.

"And that would be?" she asked as she folded her arms in front of her.

"Well that's easy, you, I want to go out with you."

"Aren't we out?" she laughed and then looked away.

"Al, I know someone hurt you and I can't change that, but at least give me the chance to prove to you that I can make you forget, even if it's just for an hour or two," he said gently as he moved her face with the back of his hand making her look at him.

"So I take that smile as a yes," he said smiling back at her.

"Well that depends," she said as she looked down at what she was wearing. 'Great I get asked out by a hot guy while I am wearing a pair of black Adidas pants and a white tee, and my hair is awful!' she thought to herself as she twirled the end of her ponytail.

"On what?" Nick asked, getting a little intrigued.

"If you're up for a challenge," she smiled slyly.

"Sure, so what is the challenge?"

"Give me your keys," she said this as she put her hand out. He placed the keys on her hand, and she smiled.

"See you at the hotel," she yelled as she took off in the opposite direction in which she was heading earlier.

"Oh no you don't!" he yelled out loud as he took off behind her.

"So you can't run, I like you already," Alexia said as she walked into the cooled lobby of the hotel with Nick by her side gasping for breath. She saw him head for the chairs as she walked towards the front desk.

"Miss Fernandez, how are you this morning?" the concierge greeted Alexia as soon as he saw her.

"Very good, thank you. Do I have any messages or packages?" she said as she pushed a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Actually yes, here are your messages directed to your password and here are your packages," the man handed her a large package of envelopes, two small boxes, and numerous pieces of paper.

"Oh, miss," he said as she headed back to Nick.

"Yes?" she said as she spun around to face him once again.

"Your other package is in your room."

"What other package?" she asked curiously.

"Your breathing and slobbering package, miss. It's being watched now," he said as Alexia felt a hand on her shoulder.

"You don't have a baby, do you?" Nick whispered in her ear.

"A baby? Me? No, it's Sassi, my dog. Oh my God, Leo shipped her!" she belched out as she stormed to the elevator.

"Hey, wait up!" Nick yelled as he followed her.

"My, my what a lovely couple they make," the concierge said out loud to himself.

Alexia walked out of the elevator as though she was being chased by a mass murderer or something.

"Hey, you energizer, wait up!" Nick yelled as he walked out of the elevator, but Alexia paid no attention to him she walked to her door and stuck in her access card and opened the door. As Nick got to the door carrying all of Alexia's mail, he saw the most beautiful golden retriever he had ever seen.

"Wow!" he said as he slowly walked in.

"Oh, sorry about that, it's just that I missed her so much," she said as she petted Sassi continuously.

"It's OK. Hey about the date, do you want to have breakfast?" he asked gently lowering his head.

"I don't do breakfast" she said sounding a little snotty making Nick feel as if someone had taken a spoon and removed his heart with it and tearing it into many pieces.

"Oh, OK."

"I'd say yes to brunch though," she said smiling. Nick looked up and smiled back. "Brunch is more me, not too early, it's not breakfast but its not lunch its just .....brunch," she laughed lightly.

"Sure I'd love to have brunch with you," Nick said as he got close to her, just then the golden retriever barked at him.

"She knows you like me," Alexia said as she saw the fear in Nick's eyes.

"I have one at home and he has never growled or barked at anyone," he said staring at the dog as he took a step back.

"She also knows I like you," she said getting up.

"You .... like... me?" Nick stuttered.

"Why just because I am 'Alexia' doesn't mean I can't like a guy who just happens to be good looking, cute, sweet, funny, .... and sexy," she smiled as her eyes met Nick's.

"You think I am sexy?" he said as he got closer, this time ignoring the bark from Sassi.

"I was 16 when you were the 'thing', I mean Millennium," she smiled slyly as she felt his arm graze her side as he pulled her a little closer.

"So we could say you have a crush on me," Nick said as he smiled, noticing her tense body.

"No, we could say I had a crush on 'Nick' from the BSB, and now I have a thing for Nick, they guy who I work with, and we could also say you have a crush on superstar Alexia, right?" she said as she tried to push the incompatible feeling away.

"No, I have a crush on the girl who wears no makeup when she exercises, the girl who plays games with my mind, and the girl who lets me hold her," he said looking at her.

"Wow, that's a lot of girls," she laughed lightly.

"You are more beautiful than I ever imagined, you not only carry your beauty on the outside, but you carry one that is more incredible and powerful inside," he said as he pushed a strand of hair behind her ear.

"How do you know that? You don't even know me."

"I know what I see."

"And what do you see?"

"A girl who wants to be loved and wants to love back with the same intensity, a girl who can do anything, a girl that can change the way people think just by a comment, a girl who would do anything for a friend, a girl who is aching, a girl..."

"A girl who was created by a corporation, a mirage of the perfect girl, a fake, that is what you see," Alexia said as she pulled away from Nick and raised her tone of voice.

"You meet me, and you say sweet things to me and you think 'Wow, a new lay!' Well you thought wrong, Nick. All my life I craved for something and I am finally getting there and just because you think 'Oh actress, easy catch' then you should do some research 'cause this girl does not fall for stupid lines or cute ways," she said as anger came over her.

"I was.." Nick started to stutter.

"Giving yourself points," she said as she walked and sat an the bed.

"Alexia, I like you, I like you a lot, I won't deny it, but I am not like that guy; he hurt you."

"No, I hurt him," she said as a tear fell down her cheek. Nick's face was written with confusion all over it. "His name was Matt, I loved him and then suddenly everything I felt for him turned to zilch. He was more of a friend, than the 'one', and when I told him what I felt, I was brutally honest. I didn't even try to be nice. I broke his heart and then..." she started crying harder. Nick put his arm around her and just held her.

"Thank you," Alexia said after crying non-stop for about ten minutes.

"It's OK. It's not good to keep everything to yourself," he said as he stroked her hair lightly.

"I think you should leave."

"I know," he smiled back.

"Call me in an hour, OK? We'll do something," she smiled as she stood up.

"Sure," he said as he walked passed her and kissed her cheek.

"Hey Nick," she said before he shut the door.

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry, for the way I acted with you, I mean you didn't do anything and I just-" she started but was interrupted.

"Love is never to say you're sorry," Nick smiled back at her from the door.

"Love story," she said as she smiled.

"You never knew it could happen."

"What?" Alexia asked still smiling.

"You and me," Nick said just right before he walked outside.

Alexia walked out of the bathroom with a white robe around her damp body.

"What the hell?" Alexia said out loud as she found Nick on the floor playing Nintendo with a brunette. Suddenly the girl turned and smiled.

"Oh my God, Cat! what are you doing here?" Alexia said as she hugged her best friend, forgetting that Nick was still in the room.

"That is the thanks I get for driving three hours straight?" Cat said teasingly.

"You live fifteen minutes from here......."

"You know what I mean," she said lightly laughing.

"Yeah I know what you mean." Cat smiled back.

"So how did you get in?" Alexia asked.

"Well I was walking down the hall and as I got to your door I saw this guy come out of it with a large smile," she said pointing at Nick who had stopped playing Nintendo, "and we started talking. The door was not totally shut so we came in while you took a long, I mean long, bath," Cat said sarcastically.

"Can I borrow your phone? It's 'cause I told a lovely lady I would call her in an hour and seeing that its actually been an hour and a half, I think I should call her," he said smiling intensely at Alexia.

"Do you guys want me to leave?" Cat asked jokingly. Alexia snarled at Cat.

"Well I really should go now, its been a pleasure meeting you Catherine, sorry Cat, and I'll see you tonight," he said pointing his finger at Alexia.

"Tonight?" Confusion overtook Alexia's face.

"Yeah, tonight. You promised you would go out with me, and a promise is a promise," he smiled as he walked towards the door.

"It was nice beating you," Cat yelled at Nick.

"I think you're confused; I won," he smiled slyly at the two girls.

"Liar," she whispered.

"See you at eight," Nick said as he walked out the door. Alexia sighed.

"Someone is about to fall in love," Cat said teasingly.

"What?" Alexia looked at her best friend.

"You are falling head over heels for him, and don't tell me you're not 'cause I know you better than you know yourself. That is why I am your best friend," Cat said as she walked out to the terrace.

"So where is Sassi?" Alexia asked as she quickly changed into a white tee and a pair of khaki shorts.

"She needed a walk, so I called front desk," Cat replied from outside. Alexia walked outside to join Cat.

"So why are you here, really?" Alexia said as she leaned on the railing.

"I broke up with Jack, and I know what is coming 'but why you were so in love...' but I think it was just me that was in love," she said as she looked at the scenery: the Atlantic Ocean, a beautiful beach, and a blue sky.

"He cheated on you?" Alexia asked lightly.

"With Ann, my secretary. I mean he could of been more discrete, and in my bed," she said as she hugged Alexia and started crying.

"I'm sorry," Alexia whispered as she stroked her hair trying to calm her down.
