| Nicole, stunned, was oblivious to everything around her. 'Is this who I think it is?? It sounds so much like him..' she thought. 'What am I saying?! Of course its not him!!!' she thought to reassure herself. Still worried she shifted uncomfortably in the car and closed her eyes. "Nicole...Nicooooooole..wake up!!! Are you okay??" asked Iris. "You look like your losing it." "OH! erm..I'm fine thanks...no big deal..just keep driving..are we almost there?" "Um yeah we are but, hey, stop changing the subject!! You look a little pale..are you SURE your okay?" "Mhm..fine thanks, but I meant to ask you..who sings this? I've never heard them before." Nicole said somewhat telling a lie. Iris laughs.."Who BBMak? Yeah nice looking bunch of guys..hot accents...I LOVE the one with the dark brown hair." "Do you...know their names by any chance?" quieried Nicole. "Nik, of COURSE I do!!!! I've known about them for ages now. I never thought about telling you. You told me you were over the whole pop thing! (((Of course they aren't pop..nevertheless that's how people stereotype them. Not me but you know who I mean!))) "Well..I am over the Backstreet Boys!! You know that! I took down all the posters..gave away all my cd's.." "I know, I know. I was there remember? But to answer your question the one I like is named Mark the other two are Christian and Ste- which is short for Stephen. Happy now?" "Yeah thanks.." said Nik. 'Oh dear' she thought. 'Could it be?' No it couldn't!!! Not Christian Burns..She tightened her grip on the seatbelt trying hard not to scream outloud. 'How could I have not known sooner? Why did I have to give up the pop music just then? Iris is right, I'm losing it. Get a grip Nicole!!!!... Should I ask Iris if his last name really is Burns? What if it isn't? He never talked about Mark or Ste when I..' All of this was running through her mind... Iris was really worried about her friend. 'She's never acted this way around me before, especially about pop music!..I wonder what has gotten into her...Oh well I'll see if she's interested into coming to England with me.' "Hey Nik I have something to ask of you..something important." "Yeah? What is it Iris..whatever it is I'll do it." "Really??? Great! Then your coming with me to good ol' England for a few days. This will be so much FUN!" "Oh!! England??," said Nik. 'OMG' she thought. 'This is not happening'.."Why are we going to England?" "Its my job..Hollywood Records wants me to go and see what this BBMak is all about. From this demo, it sounds great so far huh?" "Yeah..really..um..nice, yeah they sound great actually" she said. "Dont tell me you were wrong...are you going back to your old teenybopper ways??" Iris joked. "No! Of course not..its just that..they sound..different." Nik said in defense. Iris laughed. "I know! Which is why Hollywood Records is sending me over there. To check them out. First we'll stop by in London at Telstar Records, then head over to Liverpool for the gig they asked us to. How's that?" "It's fine. I hope you know the way Iris." Nik replied. Secretly she hoped they got lost.. "Oh I dont". Nik breathed a sigh of relief. "But we'll be traveling with someone that does...BBMak's manager, Diane!" Nik's heart sank. 'Tell me this isn't really happening..what am I going to do..???' "Here we are!! Home sweet home. Let's go in." [Late that night] 'Breathe Nik...just breathe...' Another nightmare. Nik got up and went to the kitchen for a glass of water. She sat on the couch and sat there in deep thought. 'What if he doesn't recognize me..? I dont even now if this is the Christian Burns I met..' She tried not to think about it. Deep down she knew she could never forget that day, the day when they met so long ago. They grew close and Nik thought she had found 'the one' in her life. Then, Nik had said things she regretted, and later, when she left England, hoping for good, he said he never wanted to see her again. She acted like she didn't care when she walked off, but she cried the whole flight home. Desperately trying to get over him, Nik went on with her life and in time she forgot about Christian. Almost. Until now that is. Nik found that she was shaking from the cold. 'I should go back to sleep..we have a long flight tomorrow. Christian...wherever you are..I hope you still have the ring.' *~*~*~* Next Page >> |
