Chapter 8
Tiffany's View
We just got finished eating and now I'm going to see what my surprise is. I really don't know what it could be. All I know is that we've been driving for ten minutes toward the ocean. We're almost to Nick's house but I don't think we're going there.
"Tell me Brian! I can't wait anymore! I'm not a very patient person!" I whined.
"I can't tell you! That's why it's called a surprise," he told me.
"Are you trying to annoy me?"
"No it just comes out naturally. Look we're almost there so keep that beautiful dress on your beautiful self."
"You are way to sweet and cute you know that?"
"Stop! You're making me blush!"
Just then Brian slowed the car down. I looked out the window to find us at the beach.
"The beach?"
"Yes the beach."
"I love the beach!"
"I know! Nick told me one time on tour. Now stay where you are."
He hopped out of the car and came to my side, opened the door and held out his hand just like he has been doing all night. I took it and got out. As he closed and locked the doors I walked ahead towards the sand. Brian ran up to me and took my hand. I smiled at him but then remembered I had shoes on.
"Hold on," I said bending down and taking my clogs off. He did the same and took our shoes and set them aside.
"C'mon," he said taking my hand again and leading me further down the beach.
We walked for awhile and talked about normal things. He told me about life on the road and I told him about Colorado and my family. We were heading back to the car when Brian stopped and turned me around. I looked at him confused as he got on one knee and took out a black velvet box. He looked in my eyes and opened the box.
"Tiffany I know I have not known you very long but from what I can tell is that you're the most beautiful, caring, and funniest girl that I have ever met and I would love for you to be my girlfriend. So will you?"
I looked at him in shock. Of course I wasn't going to turn him down.
"YES! I'd love to!"
He smiled up at me and put the ring on my finger. I looked at it and gasped.
"What? What's wrong!"
"It's the ring."
"You don't like it?"
"No! I love it! It's just the same exact design as the necklace Nick gave me," I said holding the necklace up so Brian could see it.
"Wow! That's a coincidence. I'm surprised Nick didn't tell me it was the same exact design. Wait a minute Nick gave you that necklace?"
Brian's View
"Yeah why?"
"Oh nothing," I lied. The thing is Nick was telling me on tour about him buying a necklace for this girl that he was going to ask out. He didn't tell me who it was. He just said I would find out soon. I just now realize that that girl is Tiffany. No wonder why Nick didn't seem to pleased about me asking her out and that explains the looks he gives her.
"Are you OK?" Tiffany asked waving her hand in front of my face.
"Yeah, It's getting late. Maybe I should get you home."
"No I want to stay here with you," she said wrapping her arms around my neck and hugging me.
"I do too but tomorrow the guys and I need to get up early to do some recording," I lied. We were going to record but after lunch. I just can't go on with the thought of Nick loving Tiffany.
"Oh Ok. Let's go then."
I took her hand and led her to the car. I let her in and then I got in. I turned the car on and headed toward Nick's house. It only took 5 minutes to get there. I parked my jeep in the driveway and got out. Tiffany got out on her own this time.
"Are you mad at me?"
"No why?"
"Just wondering," I said walking up to the door. Tiffany stopped and turned to me.
"Thanks for taking me out. It was fun."
"Yeah it was a little bad at first but it turned out all right. I mean I got a girlfriend out of it."
Tiffany giggled at my comment. I couldn't take it anymore. I cupped her chin in my hand and leaned in towards her face. Our lips met and all I could think about was how soft her lips felt. I pulled back to look at her reaction. She was smiling from ear to ear. I smiled back.
"Good night Tiffany and see you tomorrow."
"OK, good night."
I looked at her one last time then turned around and headed toward my car.
Nick's View
I heard a car drive up so I looked out the living room window. What I saw was Brian and Tiffany at the door talking. Just when I thought Brian was going to leave he kissed her. My mouth dropped open. I wish I were him. After he pulled away he said something else then got in his car and left. Tiffany stood at the door smiling after him. She turned around and started to unlock the door. I stood up, ran and jumped on the couch, picked up a magazine and acted like I was reading but I really was just looking at the pictures.
"Hey Nicky! Did everyone go to bed?"
"Yeah! I wasn't tired so I decided to wait for you so I could hear about your date with Brian."
"You really want to know?"
"Duh! All I have ever heard from you is how you would love to go on a date with Brian and know that you have I want to hear everything about it."
"OK, let me go get ready for bed and I'll come back down and tell you."
"OK"
Tiffany headed up the stairs. I threw the magazine down and waited. After about 10 minutes Tiffany came running down the stairs. The next thing I knew Tiffany jumped onto my lap looking like she's going to be read a story.
"OK Nicky! I'm ready!"
"It took you long enough!" I said holding her.
"I'm a girl silly!"
"How could I forget! Now spill girlfriend," I said imitating a valley girl.
"OK! First we went to this restaurant…." She started to explain what happened but I wasn't listening. I only stared at her beautiful face. She said something about ex-boyfriend and Mc Donald's but I had no clue what she was talking about. I only stared. I couldn't contain myself. I took my right hand and gently grabbed her face and brought it to mine. I pressed my lips to hers. The kiss only lasted for about 5 seconds but it seemed like eternity. I pulled away to find Tiffany's eyes shut with her mouth open. She opened her eyes slowly and looked at me. She looked down and then up at me again and then got up slowly not saying a word. She left the room and quietly climbed the stairs. I looked around the room and then back at the stairs.
"Wow! I can't believe I just did that. I'm so stupid! Stupid!" I said hitting my head with my hand. I needed to explain what just happened. I hope she's not mad at me. I'll just talk to her in the morning. I just hope everything will be all right.
