Chapter 15
"Have you decided on a hairstyle yet?"
"Cameron! You have no idea! I haven't had time to breathe. Just do something i'll like."
"Okay, you sure you're going to trust me?" She asked. Jen looked at her weird, but nodded knowing she had no other choice.
"Alright Good. I think I have an idea of what to do." She pulled out curlers and set them on the counter. "Okay. All set." She took Jen's hair out of the towel it was up in and brush the wet strands so there weren't any knots. One by one she rolled a curler on a 1-2inch piece of hair. "Don't paniac, it's looking good."
"How can you tell? It's in rollers!!" Jen laughed.
"Haha, I know silly. What are you wearing tonite?" Cam asked.
"The dress hanging on the door." Jen pointed to where a long slate (black and silver) dress was hanging. (Kinda like the dress Britney was wearing in the Lucky video, at the end.. only not that expensive...)
"Wow. That's beautiful. Has Nick seen it?"
"Nope. I told him I didn't want him to see it until tonite, not that it's a big deal or anything.. So, he's getting dressed in Brian's room. Leigh should be here soon, she told me she was getting dressed in here and then we were going to meet the guys downstairs." Just then LeighAnne showed up with her dress in hand. "Gee, we were just talkin' bout ya."
"Oh really?"
"Nothing bad.. just that you were coming here. You're hair looks great!"
"Thanks. I went to Giovanni's uptown. He did a great job." She had her hair in a french twist with curls coming out from the sides.
"Okay, sit still. I'm going to blow dry your hair so it dries quicker." Cameron took out the blow dryer and blowed Jen's hair. Afterwards, she took all the curlers out.
"Woah, Curley Sue."
"Haha, funny." Jen sarcastically answered. "Okay, am I done?"
"No. Sit back down."
"Okay, Okay." She sat back down and Cam pinned Jen's hair halfway up with curls coming out in front. "Oooooooo!!! I like it! Thanks Cam."
"No problem. Well, looks like you don't need any make up since it's done. Have fun tonite girls. Tell everyone I said hi." She said kissing each of them on the cheek. "OH! And Happy Birthday." She yelled from the doorway then left.
"I said Happy Birthday this morning right?" Jen nodded. "Okay, but Happy Birthday again.." Leigh giggled.
"Okay, I need to get dressed. We have to leave in 15 minutes." Jen took a package of new stockings out of a bag and put them on. Then she took the dress off the hanger and slipped it on, trying not to wreck her hair, then slipped on the black shoes she got to go with the dress.
"Wow, you look great!"
"Thanks, you too! Alright, are we ready to go impress the guys?"
"Aren't I always?" She joked. They took one last look at themselves in the mirror, then grabbed their purses and left.
DING!
"Okay, lets hope they're down here." Jen said stepping off the elevator while her eyes roamed around the lobby for the guys and their girls. "<gasp> I see them. Over there." Jen took in a deep breath and walked towards them. This was her first dinner party with the guys. Of course they had the opening dinner party when the tour started, but it was casual clothing, but this was elegant.
Nick's back was towards Jen, and she could see that he was talking with the other guys. She walked over.
"Well, what are we waiting for? We're going to be late." Nick spun around at the sound of her voice.
"W..Wow. You look absolutely gorgeous."
"Thank you."
Jen replied kissing him on the cheek. Nick stuck his arm out. Jen accepted and
smiled. They followed everyone who was already loading into the limo.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Come on!! Dance with me." Jen whined grabbing Nick's arms and pulling him up. "This isn't like you Nicky."
"Hey. Drop the Y on that." He replied giving her playfully evil grin. She knew he hated being called Nicky. He cringed everytime he heard it, especially when Howie or one of the other guys called him that. "You know I hate it."
"I know, I know." Nick got up, Jen leading him to the dance floor. She wrapped her arm around his neck and grabbed his hand, while he grabbed her waist. They slowly swayed to the music with their foreheads touching and their eyes closed. There wasn't a feeling that could compare when they were holding each other. "I love this."
Nick drew in a deep breath. "Me too. I could stay like this forever."
"Mmmm. Me
too."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Everything had been going very well. Jen had no idea why Nick hadn't said Happy Birthday to her yet. 'Maybe he forgot...' She thought. All the guys and their girlfriends had said it, but not him. The more she thought about it, the more upset she got.
Most of the couples were on the dance floor except them and Howie and his girlfriend.
"Whats wrong honey?" Nick asked rubbing her leg.
'I can't let him know something is bothering me..' She thought to herself. "Nothing why?" She answered hoping it seemed believable.
"You look mad about something." He continued. 'Wow, she really thinks I forgot her birthday...' Nick started feeling somewhat guilty, but knew that what he had gotten her, she'd forgive him. "I'll be right back." He said kissing her on the cheek and leaving.
Jen watched as he left the room and headed towards the bathrooms. Looking confused, Leigh and Amanda came over to her and started chatting. It took her mind off of things for a while. But, there was still a small part of her that was.
"Oh the desert's out, wanna go get coffee or something?"
"Yea. I have no idea where Nick went though." She said standing up and turning around. "<gasp> Oh my gosh." She whispered to herself while cupping her hand over her mouth.
Nick stood in front of her with a red rose. He handed it to her, and watched as she smelt the inside, then got down on one knee.
Jen looked at him confused, oblivious to what he was doing. She looked all around her to see many smiling faces on the surrounding people. Looking back at Nick, she smiled getting teary-eyed, as she thought about what was going to happen to her.
Nick took her hand in his and rubbed the outside with his thumb. "Jennifer Anne, you know I love you right?" She sniffled and nodded. "Will you marry me?" Jen nodded and the tears fell from her eyes. Nick slid the ring on her finger and shot up to kiss and hug her. Both of them were crying together, being one of the most happiest times in their lives.
"I love you." Jen said kissing him again.
"I love you too. Why you crying so hard?" He asked wiping away her tears.
"I'm so happy,
I never thought that I'd actually get married." She smiled. Nick hugged
her again, only tighter. Jen pulled back to admire her ring. "Wow, Nick.
It's beautiful." They held each other for a few more minutes, then excepted
hugs and congratulations from their friends.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jen held onto Nick as he opened their hotel room door. Following him inside, she watched from behind as he took of his suit jacket. Jen took off her heels and held them in her hands as Nick turned around. He losened his tie and starting unbuttoning the top button of his shirt. Jen dropped her shoes and walked up to Nick, grabbing his face in for a kiss. Nick grabbed her hands and gently rubbed his hands down her arms, sending chills throughout her body. Nick undid the buttons in the back of her dress and she tore open his shirt and unbuttoned his pants, so he was standing in his boxers and tshirt.
Nick slid Jen's dress down to the floor, and was standing in her panties and bra, all done without breaking their kiss.
Pulling back and looking into her eyes, he breathed heavy. "Are you sure you want to do this?" He asked. Jen nodded and kissed him even harder. Nick layed her gently on the bed, where they made love all night.
