Chapter 31
~4 Months Later (April)~
"So, I'll stop by tonight?" Will asked.
"Yup, say 7:00, then we can do whatever you want." I said into the phone.
"OK, I'll see you then. I love you." Will said sincerely.
"Yeah, you too. Bye, hun." I said and hung up.
Well, I guess you can tell Will and I are a couple now. We'll be together
for four months in a week. I had been gone for the past weekend with Nick.
Teen People wanted to do an article about our friendship. We were stuck in
a room with the interviewer for a few hours and when the interview was finished
we couldn't get the door open. It was horrible. Someone had gotten the door
stuck. I honestly don't know how it happened, but we were stuck in there
for an hour until a locksmith came to get us. A lot of other stuff has happened.
My leg is healed and my single has gone platinum. I've been doing a lot of
publicity lately. My thoughts were interrupted by the doorbell. I jogged
over to the door and opened it to see Nick. "Hey Nick." I said as he walked
in and hugged me .
"Hey. Mind if I hang out here for a while. I'm bored at home."Nick said.
I nodded.
"But you gotta come upstairs while I get ready to leave in a half hour. Oh,
yeah. You can finally meet Will." I said as I began to walk up the stairs.
"Yay!" Nick said sarcastically. I shrugged that comment off and walked into
my room. Nick plopped himself down on my bed while I walked into my closet
in search of an outfit. I decided on a short sleeve, dark blue button down
and a kakhi skirt with my canvas sneakers. I walked out of the closet to
see Nick deep in thought. I jumped on the bed and lunged at him. I was on
top of him trying to tickle him, but he fought me off. He rolled over, so
he was on top and began to tickle me to the point where I began to cry.
"Nick...stop...I gotta...get ready." I said in-between laughs. He stopped
and leaned down to kiss me on the forehead. He got off me and I stood up
and walked into the bathroom to change. I had already taken a shower earlier
that day and my hair was still a little damp. "So, Nick, what's on your mind?"
I said slipping my shirt on.
"Linds, I don't wanna talk to a door." Nick said.
"Fine." I said lightly walking out of the bathroom buttoning the skirt. "So,
what's up, Nickers?" I said sitting next to him on the bed and trying to
put my sneakers on.
"Nothing really. I don't wanna talk about it... yet." Nick said.
"Yet?" I asked tying the shoelace on my right sneaker.
"I'm not ready to tell you right now. It's not a good time. Trust me." Nick
said. I looked at him. I knew something was bothering him, but I didn't want
to pry it out of him. I touched the side of his face as the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it. Finished getting ready." Nick said and left my room to open
the door. I walked into the bathroom to brush my teeth and do all that good
stuff.
Two minutes later I walked downstairs to hear the guys talking.
"So, how long have you been going out?" Nick asked.
"Almost four months." Will replied. I walked into the living room. "There
she is." Will said walking up to me and hugging me. I looked at Nick while
Will's arms were around me and he opened his mouth and made this gagging
gesture with his finger in his mouth. I pulled away from Will and we kissed
for a few seconds. Nick wasn't even looking at us anymore.
"Goodnight Nick." I said walking towards him and hugging him. "Grow up."
I whispered so he could only hear me. I tried to let go, but for some reason
Nick held onto me. "Nick, I gotta go. You can go into Nick's room. Play video
games or something. Talk about girls, do whatever." I said. Nick let me go.
"Have fun." Nick said and waved. "Nice meeting you, Will." Nick said. We
walked out of the house and towards his Explorer. He walked to the passenger
door and we kissed "properly" as Will likes to call it. I'll just say we
were kissing deeply. I felt eyes on me and pulled away to see Nick and my
brother peering through the front window.
"What's wrong?" Will asked surprised I pulled away from him.
"Nothing." I said as I opened the door and got into the truck.
~A Week Later (In Supermarket)~
"Oh my god! It's Nick and Lindsay! Mom, can I get this?" A young girl asked
picking up the latest copy of Teen People and holding it up to her mother.
"Wait, who are they?" The girl's mother said looking at the magazine. The
girl rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Nick from the Backstreet Boys and Lindsay. She sings that song, 'Step Back'.
Remember...I got it for Christmas." The girl said.
"Oh, yeah. That's her?" The mother asked. The young girl nodded her head
furiously. "Sure."
I was standing in line at the supermarket getting some groceries for my mom.
I picked up the magazine and decided to buy it. As I picked it up, I made
sure my baseball cap was on snug. As I picked up the magazine, I saw the
girl look at me with her mouth hanging wide open. I knew I should have also
worn sun glasses. I knelt down to her level. "So, you like Nick?" I asked
the girl. After a few seconds the girl realized I was talking to her.
~I Month Later~
"So, it's been five months now?" My dad asked. He had called me when he saw
me on the cover of Teen People. It just took him a month to actually make
the call.
"Yup." I said happily. The truth is, I was really happy with my relationship
with Will. He has been my first boyfriend and he was the first guy that I
kissed "properly". There's that word again. Will and I have never gotten
into a fight and he seems to get along with everyone...except...Nick. For
some reason there has been some tension between them. I can never hang out
with the both of them at the same time.
"So, are you doing anything special?" My dad asked waking me from my thoughts.
"Well, everyone's going out to a movie tonight and I decided to make dinner
at home and just hang out." I said not really sure if I was going to do anything
special.
"All right. Just behave." My dad said. I rolled my eyes and we said our
'good-byes'.
~8:00 PM~
"That pasta was really good, Linds. You're an excellent cook." Will said
as we got comfortable on the couch.
"Thank you, thank you very much." I said doing an Elvis impression. I got
up to go to the bathroom and brush my teeth. It's just something I've always
done. I don't wanna be dirty. When I came out of the bathroom, Will had turned
off the TV and turned on the radio. The surround sound was on and as I approached
the couch, Will had stretched out so there was enough room for me to lay
in his arms. I sat down on the couch next to him and placed my head on his
chest and my hand on his stomach. I could hear his heart beating. It was
nice and rhythmic.
Before I knew it we were in a major wrestling match on the floor. We were
just messing around and then he began to kiss me deeply. We fell off the
couch and I landed on my back with Will on top of me. I began to laugh while
we were kissing, so Will started to tickle me. It was fun, then we got serious.
Will started to touch me, but I couldn't get him off me. I think to relieve
the tension, he began to tickle me again. Then I felt his hands go under
my shirt and all of a sudden the front door slammed shut. Will got frightened
and got off me. I walked to the front window and peered out to see Nick jogging
home. What just happened?
