**Chapter Three**

It's been 3 months since Nick and Brandi have been dating. They are as happy as can be. Nick has planned a romantic dinner. Brandi and Gianna were watching Nick and Brian play basketball. After 2 hours, Nick came up behind her and wrapped his strong, sweaty arms around her waist. "Hey baby. What cha' doing?" he asked. "Me and Gianna are going to go shopping. Wanna come?" Brandi answered. He kissed her. "I will take that as a yes. Go get your sweaty butt ready!" she exclaimed. He jumped into the shower, washed off, got out and put some clothes. He sprayed some cologne on and put a hat and sunglasses just so no one would notice him. Gianna drove and Brian sat in the passengers side. Nick and Brandi sat in back. They kissed the whole ride there. Brian and Nick followed the girls into a store. Brandi was trying on dresses for the dinner Nick has planned for tonight. She found the perfect one! It is red and silky. It went down to her ankles and had slits that went up to her knees. It showed some clevage but not too much. She paid for it and left. Gianna and Brian dropped them off and headed home. Nick unlocked the door and lead Brandi inside. They went upstairs to change. Brandi changed in his bathroom while Nick changed in his room. He went downstairs and popped in his Black and Blue cd. He lit some candles and noticed her walking down the stairs. She looks beautiful! he thought. "Well, what do you think?" she asked. "Beautiful." he replied. She kissed him but he pulled away. "What's the matter?" she asked. "Well, if we start doing that, the dinner will get cold." he replied. "They walked over to the table and at down. She wasn't that hungry. All she could think about was him. She wanted him so bad. She knew tonight was the night. She forced some food down her throat and got up. She took Nick's hand and pulled him to her. They started dancing and she started grinding up against him. He knew she wanted him and he wanted her. He pulled her closer to him and she layed her head on his shoulder. They danced for what seemed like hours. She looked at the clock. "Wow! It's midnight! Do you mind if I stay here for the night?" she asked. "Sure" he answered. She grabbed her stuff and they made their way to his bedroom. She placed her stuff down and laid on his bed. He laid down right next to her. They kissed and she rolled on top of him. She woke up the next morning and saw hi beautiful, angelic face still sleeping. She fell back to sleep and woke back up an hour later to see him awake. "Good morning." she said. He kissed her. ""I want to ask you something." he anwered. "What is it?" she asked, concerned. "We have ben dating for three months now and we love each other with all our hearts and I was wondering if you will move in with me?" he explained. "I don't know what to say but of course! I would love to wake up to your face every morning!" she exclaimed. She ran downstairs and called Gianna. "Hey Gianna! How have you been?" Brandi called into the phone. "I've been great!" Gianna said on the other line. "Listen Nick asked me if I would move in with him and I said yes. I will be coming by to pick up my stuff." she answered. "Alright. See you then. Bye!" "Bye" She hung up the phone and went to Nick's bedroom. She heard the shower running and went in there. She took off her clothes and hopped into the shower. "Hey babe! You scared me!" he shrieked.

"I was hoping too!" she said. They kissed and then made love.(I'm not good with visuals b/c I've never been there, if ya know what I mean! lol!) They got out, got dressed, ate and then left for Brandi's apartment. This is the first time Nick has been to her apartment. She unlocked the door and they walked inside. Gianna greeted her by giving her a hug. "I can't believe you're going to be moving out!" Gianna exclaimed. "You know where I live and you have my phone number. You can call me anytime except for late at night." Brandi and Gianna laughed. "We will be seeing a lot of each other if your relationship with Brian stays like this!" Brandi exclaimed. "Ready to go, babe?" Nick asked walking into her room. "Yep. Bye Gianna. Don't worry everything will be fine." Brandi explained with a tear in her eye. "Bye!" Gianna cried. Nick took Brandi's bags and brought them to the car. They got in and Nick started driving. "Are you alright?" Nick asked. "I'm fine. I just want Gianna to be safe." Brandi answered. He grabbed her hand. "She will be fine. Trust me." Nick said with his sexy smile. (I love that smile!!) Brandi smiled back. When they got back to Nick's house, they unpacked her things. Tonight Nick and the rest of the guys had an award show to go to. "So, what are you going to wear tonight?" Nick asked. "Why, what are we doing tonight?" Brandi asked with a confused look on her face. "I forgot to tell you! We have to go to an award show tonight and I want you to be my date!" Nick said. "Oh, but I'm really nervous! I just don't know what the media is going to think!" Brandi shrieked. "It's okay. Stay with me and you will be fine!" Nick said. He took her hand and kissed her. "We better get ready. The other guys will be here soon." "Okay." They went upstairs and got ready. Brandi wore her red dress that she bought the other day. she put on her black, 3-inch heel strappy shoes. Nick was wearing his black Armani suit. He had his hair spiked up. Oh my god! He looks sexy, she thought. They heard the limo horn honk. They ran out the door and locked it. It was crowded in the limo. nick pulled Brandi onto his lap. When they arrived, Brandi winced at all the cameras flashing. "It's okay. Just keep smiling and stay close to me." Nick whispered into her ear. She stood by him and held his hand, tightly. They went to their seats. BSB won 3 awards. After the award show they went to an after party. She saw a lot of stars there. Nick noticed Carson and Tara Daly, Kid Rock, Christina Aguilera, Justin and Britney Timberlake. "Hey Nick! What's up man? Haven't seen you in awhile. Who's this beautiful lady?" Carson asked. "This is my girlfriend, Brandi." Nick answered. "Hi." Brandi said shyly. "Hey, I'm going to go talk to someone real quick. I will be right back." he said giving her a kiss. He left. She talked to Carson and Tara for awhile until they left leaving Brandi alone with Christina. (In real life Christina is my idol but for this story she's a bitch.) "I can't believe Nick is dating a slut like you!" Christina snapped. Brandi stood there stunned. "Wait a minute! I'm not the slut. I don't go around having sex with all the Latin guys on this planet!" Brandi snarled and stormed towards Nick. She grabbed him and gave him a kiss hard on the mouth right in front of Christina. "What was that for?" Nick asked stunned. she nodded her head towards Christina. He grabbed her and gave her another kiss. They laughed and walked away. They started talking with Dream and Puffy. The party was almost over so the decided to leave with Gianna and Brian. They haden't eaten anything for dinner so they decided to go to a restaurant. They sat down and lucky enough there weren't any 13 year olds around. They had a nice peaceful dinner. Brandi knew Nick had something big on his mind. She wanted to ask him but waited until they got home. They ate their food, paid, and left. When they got home, Brandi immediately took a shower. When she got out, she wrapped a robe around her and tied it. She walked downstairs and saw Nick pacing around. He was talking to himself about something and he seemed really nervous. She walked up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist. "What's the matter?" she asked. "I need to ask you something. I love you so much. Your like a dream come true. I know that I will never find anyone like you ever again." he kneeled and finished, "Will you marry me?" he asked. She gasped and said, "YES!!" She hugged him and then kissed him. "I love you!" she exclaimed. "I love you, too.!" he answered back. He carried her upstairs and shut the door.
