They were on the plane, on their way to Los Angeles for the last stop on the in-store tour; he got out of his seat and sat in the empty seat next to Sally,
"Hey, what's up?" She smiled as she looked up at him from her laptop,
"Hey, what's up kiddo?" His face fell and his stomach dropped, there was something about her calling him kiddo after the night they shared that made him feel a little down, he hadn't talked to her since that night in Atlanta a couple of nights ago . At least nothing more than hello and her telling him what he needed to do. They never discussed it, he wasn't looking for a relationship but honestly he wasn't used to a girl sleeping with him and basically ignoring him. It felt strange,
"You been busy lately." She nodded as she continued typing,
"Yeah, we're preparing press releases for response to your first week album sales and scheduling interviews. Everyone wants an interview, and it's time for the second round of magazines articles. You guys are getting a lot of attention." He didn't know how to bring up their night together or if he should,
"I'll let you get back to work." He stood up and she pulled his arm, causing him to sit back down,
"Nick, about the other night." She looked around and when she was certain their conversation truly was private she continued,
"I was really upset...but you made me feel better. Um, I don't want you to think-" He smiled,
"I know, it just happened." She nodded,
"I wasn't using you. I mean, if I weren't upset I probably wouldn't have knocked on your door but it wasn't about that. I enjoyed it...alot. Uh, but can we keep this between us? I mean, with me working with you guys-" He smiled and nodded his head,
"I understand, I won't say anything to anyone." He stood up looked at her and leaned down,
"I liked it too... a lot. Even though you were like a special forces captain or something." He winked his eye and walked back to his seat putting on his headphones.
He was lying in his bed that night, Howie and AJ went out. Brian and Kevin stayed at their homes in LA. He couldn't sleep so he got out of bed and before he knew it he was knocking on her door. She opened the door, wearing nothing but a Lakers basketball jersey,
"Hey, you busy?" He looked over her shoulder, into her room to see if anyone was with her,
"No." Before she could say anymore he walked past her and sat on the bed,
"What are you watching?" She stood next to him,
"It's an old one, you probably haven't heard of it. I think it was made before you were born." He frowned as he looked at the television,
"Hey, no its not that's Julia Roberts." She laughed as he shook his head,
"Very funny, I'm not that much younger than you." She shrugged,
"You're a baby." He snatched her arm and threw her to bed, rolling on top of her and pinning her down before she knew what was happening,
"Was I a baby when you were calling out my name?" Sally shook her head in dismay but a moan escaped her mouth as he grinded into her,
"Nick don't." He could tell she didn't mean it but there was a knock on the door and he jumped off her and stood to the side as she answered the door,
"Hey Tim." He frowned as he strained to hear what was going on,
"Hey, have you seen Nick by any chance?" He could see her shake her head,
"No, is something wrong?" He stepped a little closer to the door,
"No, his friends have been trying to contact him and his cell just rings, so they called mine. I tried his room but there was no answer."
"I don't know, if I see him I'll let him know." She closed the door and looked at him,
"It's cool, I'm sure they don't want anything."
"Maybe you should call and check?" He smiled as he walked near her,
"You just want me to leave." He walked her backwards and pinned her against the wall,
"Nick, that was a one time thing." He licked his lips and whispered,
"One more time, come on." She was about to push him back but when he kissed on her neck, just how she taught him and she melted,
"One more time?" He moaned,
"Yep, just one more time." He pulled back and looked at her,
"I promise." She sighed, she didn't like the way he said that or the way he looked when he said it. He went back to giving her neck attention and reached under her jersey and moaned,
"No underwear, damn." He picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist as he entered her,
"Oh man, you feel so good." She gripped his hair and almost seemed to growl,
"Harder Nick, harder" He began to slam her against the wall with every thrust and her screams only made him become more intense. He walked away from the wall, still inside her,
"Stand up." He turned her around,
"Put one knee up on the bed." She leaned over the bed and he entered her from behind, using her shoulders to pull her towards him. She slowly stretched out on the bed until she was flat on her stomach and he lay on top of her after he pushed her leg up,
"You drive me crazy." She moaned and placed her hands over his, their fingers intertwined,
"Uhh, don't stop; don't...please don't stop. They moved together until he exploded and collapsed on top of her.
They were sitting in the club just after their thirty minutes mini-concert in a small club in downtown LA. The radio station has been giving away tickets all week, the special passes were the only way to get in the club that night. They gave away the last thirty tickets at the in-store session earlier that day. He stood up and smiled when he saw Chloe walking towards him with a couple of her friends,
"Hey, what are you doing here?" She smiled,
"I had to con my way in since you didn't invite me." His eyes widened,
"I didn't think you would want to come. Its just some crap we have to do. Actually, I'm kind of ready to go." He was hypnotized by her smile as she introduced her friends to him, they all shook hands and he invited them to join him at the table. They were enjoying themselves in VIP, this club was cool because there were two parts to the VIP room, the part he was in was almost around the corner and they couldn't be seen by the regular patrons. He had just finished a shot when Carl, one of the security guards came over and spoke in his ear,
"Hey, someone wants to see you. She said she knows you...her name is Lexi." Nick looked around the table and turned back to Carl,
"Tell her I left already man." He nodded and disappeared. Nick stood up and walked over to Tim,
"I need to get out of here, is there a back way?"
