| � It wasn�t that bad, a little turbulence. That�s all,� Heather said, flopping down on her couch. I slept most of the flight,� � Did you dream about me?� Nick asked. � Uh huh,� She yawned. I-� Heather was interrupted by call waiting on her phone. � Hold on, Nick. There�s someone on the other line,� She said before clicking over. � Hello? � Hey! Superstar!� � Hey Rebecca. What�s up?� � Party at Luis� tonight. Wanna go?� � Sorry, Bec. No can do. Just got back from Florida, and I�m not up to it. Sorry,� � Did lover boy wear you out?� She chuckled. � That he did. Speaking of lover boy, he�s on the other line. I�ll call you back in a few,� � Alright.� Heather switched back over to Nick. � Sorry. That was Rebecca,� � Oh. What did she want?� � Invite me to a party-� � You said no right? You�re not going,� � No. I�m too tired. I�m just gonna stay here and try to get some sleep. I have an interview with Teen People in the morning and then rehearsals for the AMA�s. Enough about me, when are you going back to school?� � Tomorrow. I have graphic design in the morning and communications in the afternoon. Although I�d much rather spend the day with you,� � But I�m not there, so you have to go,� Heather said. � If it�s any conciliation, the feeling is mutual,� � It does. Hey, I found what I assume is my gift from Italy, but I wanted to make sure it was mine-� � Oh yeah. Do you like it?� � Uh huh. It�s cool.� � I thought you�d like it. I wanted to get you drums, but they didn�t have any 18th century Italian drum sets, so I thought a guitar would be okay. Have you played it yet?� � I can play it?� � Yep. The appraiser said it was still in great condition; it might need a little tuning, but it�s still useable,� � Wow,� He said looking over at the guitar case, sitting neatly in the corner of his room. � Thank you so much baby,� � You�re welcome. Listen, I�m gonna go. I have to get up early in the morning and I wanna hop in the bath before I go to bed,� � Alright. Talk to you soon,� � Good night, Nick,� � Night, Heather,� Chapter Seven |
