Chapter 15
January 28th-
I'm in a hotel room right now, getting into my new dress for Nick's birthday
party. It's his 21st so it's a big shin dig. I only hope he saves me a dance.
My dress is emerald green (I figured I'd go with his favorite color since
it IS his birthday) it goes down to my ankles, my favorite part of it is
the back, the dress kind of dips back and hangs from my lower back, and it
flows down to the floor. My hair is pinned up at the top of my head, wavy
curls framing my face, I hate curling my hair, it takes so long but this
is Nick's big birthday and I thought I'd look special for him…did I
just say him, I meant IT, gosh I've been doing that a lot lately saying that
I do things for him, not anything else. Anyway, I'm wearing a minimal amount
of make up (basically some light green sparkle eye shadow, some blush, and
lip gloss) and my sandals are heels and they are silver with glitter on them.
I think I'm about done, I'm only waiting for AJ to come and pick me up to
take me downstairs.
"Hey princess!" AJ yelled from outside my door.
"Yeah pooh??" I asked laughing
"I'm here to take you to the party" he yelled again. I walked over and opened
the door.
"What happened to knocking?" I asked grinning
"I heard it was vastly over…WOAH" AJ said as he turned around to face
me. He motioned for me to spin, and I did.
"Christy, you look like a…a…well, a princess." He said
"Thank you, you really know how to get to me don't you." I said, feeling
the tears well up in my eyes, I'm glad I didn't wear mascara or, well, it
would look really bad.
"Well, lets get to the party so that you can WOAH the rest of they guys okay??"
He asked
"Yeah, lets go."
At the party-
I walked in looking for Nick when I ran into Brian.
"Oh I'm sorry Bri…Have you seen.." I was trying to peer over Brian's
shoulder when he took my hand and kissed it.
"You look gorgeous Christy, to good to pass up… would you like to dance."
He asked and I of course accepted. Pretty much the entire night went the
same way, I just couldn't find Nick and then I'd run into one of the guys
in the process and they'd ask me to dance. By midnight I'd stopped looking,
I was going to go back to my hotel room now, I was tired and after an
unsuccessful night of looking for one person I was upset. I started to head
back to my room when a familiar voice called my name.
"Christy…where ARE you going?? It's my birthday and I haven't even seen
you, talked to you, given you a chance to wish ME A HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" Nick
said with a cheesy grin.
"I'm sorry Nick, happy birthday, I really am tired, I think I'll head on
up to my room now." I said, the hall we were in at the time was pretty much
empty so no one could hear us.
"Oh no you won't, it's my birthday and I haven't even gotten what I wanted."
He said to me.
"What would that be Nick?" I asked
"I want to dance with you." He said softly, taking my hand in his.
"Will you be my princess for the night and dance with me please?" he asked,
being completely serious.
"Only if you'll be my prince." I said to him my eyes closed, trying to make
a memory.
"Your wish is my command." He said to me and then offered his hand.
I took his hand. With that he pulled me into his arms and held me close as
the first strains of "Back at one" by Brian McKnight started to play softly
in the background.
"Did I tell you how absolutely beautiful you look tonight?" Nick whispered
softly into my ear. I yet again closed my eyes trying to make another memory.
"No" I said softly breathing in the scent of his cologne.
"Well you do." He said.
"Thanks."
I think I was up the rest of the night, just talking and dancing with
Nick…he means so much to me sometimes it scares me.
