Chapter 11
I walked thru the backstage area looking for Nick. I wore a pair of fitted black capri pants with a lavendar tank top and a pair of black sandals. Due to the lack of time I had to get read, my hair was in a ponytail and the only make up I was wearing was lipgloss. I just wanted the concert to be over so I could have Nick all to myself again. I came across a room, as I lightly tapped on the door it moved open. There was Nick, laying on the couch, deep in thought as I often find him. He didn't notice me come in so I crept up beside him and laid a soft kiss on his forehead. He looked up at me and suddenly grabbed me, pulling me on him, hugging me. We sat up and talked for a while, then, Kevin came in and said it was time. I walked to the side of the stage with Nick. After they were announced, he leaned over and kissed me passionately before running out to face the fans. I stood there in the wings and watch the concert. Throughout the night, Nick kept looking over at me smiling and he would occasionally run over to me and kiss me between songs. About 30 minutes before the end of the concert I got up, handed a note to Gus and left to prepare for our evening.
Nick looked over to the side of the stage, she was gone. They sang another song and he looked again, still no Gwen. They ran off the stage for their last costume change and Nick went up to Gus, "Where did she go?"
"She asked me to give this to you," a lump rose in Nick's throat as he accepted the folder up paper from Gus. He was worried that she had changed her mind. He decided to wait to read it until after the show. He finished the last numbers and went to his dressing room, opened the piece of paper and read:
Nicky,
I am sorry I had to leave early, but I am going to have a suprise waiting for you. Come straight to my place when you are done. Don't forget to grab you bag.
Love, Gwen
P.S. You were wonderful tonight!
Nick grabbed his bad and jumped into the car, costume and all, he had somewhere he needed to be.
