I briskly strolled down the hallway whistling "I Want It That Way". Once I reached Shelby's dressing room, I knocked lightly on the door. There was no answer so I figured she had probably fallen asleep. I opened the door and saw her in panties and she was in the process of removing her shirt. "Woah! Sorry!" I blushed covering my eyes as I went to step out of the room. "It's okay, Nick. I need to talk to you anyways. Hold onnnn a second," she told me as I shut the door and faced it. "I'm really sorry. I knocked but you didn't answer," I apologized profoundly. "Nick, it's okay. Really. You can turn around now." "Are you sure?" "Yeah." I turned around a saw her in a black dress and she was stepping into a pair of heels. "Why are you in a dress?I mean I'm flattered you want to look good for me but..." I joked sitting beside the dormant Sean. "What's what I have to talk to you about," Shelby told me while brushing her silky drak blond locks. "Okay. What is it?" "James asked me if I'd go clubbing with him tonight and I kinda said yes," she said shyly afraid that I was going to yell. I wanted to, but I didn't. Something about James made me afraid for Shelby. He was a player. I could tell. Maybe I was mad at him because I knew he wanted the same thing I did. "There is no kinda, Shelby," I stated. "I know," she mumbled. "Are you mad at me?" I wanted to say yes, but I couldn't. It wasn't her fault James put on a show. "No, no! Of course not! Besides you would've probably lost again today!" I smiled at her as she sat beside me. "Oh, shut-up!" she giggled making my heart flutter. "Thank you." She leaned over and hugged me quickly. "One more thing..." "Can I watch Sean?" I finished for her. "Please?" She stuck out her bottom lip and I chuckled. "Yeah. No prob." "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Shelby stood up and danced around the room. "You're welcome," I laughed as she grabbed her purse and sat back down. "Bye." She leaned over and kissed my cheek. "Bye." I kissed her cheek also, and she stood up. "See ya later," Shelby said as she shut the door behind her. I sighed as the door clicked shut. I picked the sleeping Sean up and his diaper bag and headed out to Shelby's bus. I was staying on hers since Leighanne was on tour with Brian. I didn't mind though. Most of my days were spent with Shelby! And I didn't mind one bit!

James was right. The club was cool. He seemed a little different then two years ago, but I still felt a little akward. "You wanna dance?" James questioned holding out his hand. "Uh...sure." I took it and followed him onto the floor. A slow song came on. I hesitated a little, but James put his hand at the samll of my back and pulled me to him. I didn't really want to hacne to the aslow sone with him, but what was the harm> I slipped my arms aound his neck and he drawed me so close to him that there was no space between uh. "This is nice," he whipered in my ear. "Yeah," I lead. I debted whether or not to pull away. If it were Nick, I would've wanted to stay in his arms forever. Unfortanutly I doubted he felt the same. As I felt Jame's hand move further down my back and just above my butt, I yanked back. "What?" he asked softly. "Your hands are moving a little low," I told him. "Oh. I'm sorry," he apologized,"won't happen again." "Okay." I put my hands back around his neck ad this time we were about two innches apart and danced like that through the rest of the song.

I was drunk. I'll admit it. Jemas gave me a shot of vodka and I decided hey why not liven up the evening, so I kept drining everything he have me. "Are you ready to go?" he asked as we sat at the bar. "Yeah." I nodded tiredly. I was nearing four in the morig. I went to stand up but stumbled and James caught me. "Let me help you," he said holding my arms. "No. I'm fine." I jerked my arms away and followed him to the car. We hopped in a ad he drove me back to the arena. My but was still there but the guys' wasn't. "I had a good time tonight," James told me. I wondered why he didn't drink at the club but kept handig me drinks. "Yeah. Me, too." I went to climb out, but he grabbed my arm and pulled me to him. "The night's not over yet." He forcefully pressed his lips to mine. I tried to push him away but he pushed me down in the seat. "James. No!" I broke the kiss squirming undernetah him. "I may be drunk but I'm not stupid." He looked down at me and sat up. "Sorry," James apologized. I sat up and straightened my dress. "It's okay." I opened the car door and got out. "I'll call you," he said,"bye." "Bye." I stumbled to the bus and knocked on the door. No one answered so I started banging on it. It was freezing and I was shivering so much my teeth were chattering . After a few minutes of still no answer, I sat on the ground and pulled my knees up to my chest. I laid my head in my hands and started crying. Why'd James have to come see me again? He just made me more confused. I liked. No, loved Nick, but I had feelings for James, too. Why, right? I don't know, he had this thing that made me not be able to stay mad at him. I knew things about him that I perfered not to, but why was I still "falling" for him?
