Surprises
Slowly the weeks passed on and once Nick was on tour the constant buzz of everything around him kept Anastasia far from his mind, well he tried to anyway. But then at night he was unable to sleep, plagued with dreams of her so he would lie there looking straight up at the wooden planks reenacting what had happened. Or other times when he stood still to long smiling for the endless photos that he would seem to drift off into another world. But it was those times at night that go him most; he would scold himself for not remembering to call. But that wasn’t the whole truth, sometimes he did remember, but he didn’t want to hear her, didn’t want to realize that she was out of reach.
This was one of those nights, he tossed and turned making quite a bit of noise for his bunkmate above.
“Nick? Would you mind keeping it down?” Aj annoyed knocked on the roof of his bunk.
He gave a muffled apology and turned over, “What time is it?”
“Get a watch, Nick.”
There was silence and Aj felt slightly bad, “Sorry, Nick, I’m just tired. We’re gunna be in New York tomorrow so it’s gunna be busy.”
“New York?” Nick breathed to himself Anastasia was in New York….
The next morning:
“Ready to pick out the dresses? Where’s Adam?” Melissa asked through the few months she had been planning Anastasia’s wedding she had seen Adam a select few times.
“Give me a good British man any day!” Meghan walked out of her office holding up a clipboard
Justine and Melissa exchanged glances before Meghan continued, “Guys are nothing but trouble, but a good British man. That’s what I need.”
“I’ll call Adam to see where he is, he was supposed to be here.” She dialed his number and waited for a moment
“Hello?”
“Adam it’s me…where are you?”
“Oh Annie, I’m so sorry but I don’t feel well I can’t come today.”
“Umm ok, feel better.”
“Bye.” He hung up and she sighed slightly disappointed
“He’s not coming?” Justine guessed standing against the wall arms crossed across her chest
“No…he’s sick.”
Meghan snorted from across the room but Melissa cut in before she could say anything, “Oh well this is more of a ladies thing anyways, let’s go.”
Some hours later:
“Nick? You alive?” Brian tried to come in contact with his spaced out companion
“Huh? Oh yeah.”
“Well they just gave us the ok to go about 5 minutes ago, you ok?” he paused before realizing why his friend was acting so weird, “We have nothing to do the rest of the night…so if you want to go visit anyone…”
Nicks eyes brightened up and he smiled “Yeah, I got to go.” He dashed out of the room leaving Brian chuckling slightly with amusment.
Anastasia knocked lightly on Adam’s door, “Adam? It’s me” she knocked again, “He must be sleeping…poor baby.” She said to herself and then remembered her own key. “Uhh hello Anastasia” she scolded herself for being so stupid. Walking inside she looked around, “Adam? Are you awake? ADAM!”
