| Chapter 7 "So you spent the entire day with a totally hot guy, and nothing?" Ang asked. It was nearly one o'clock in the morning and Lexa had finally finished rehashing the details of the last week and especially today. "Jesus, Ang. Can't I just get to know a guy before I jump his bones? He just got out of a relationship, a pretty serious one from what I understand. Besides I'm only here for the summer, then its back to New York. What would happen then?" "Would you just stop planning and worrying about the future and start living for the moment? Do something spontaneous for once in your life. Can you honestly tell me that the thought of kissing him would be like hasn't crossed your mind?" Lexa looked away from Ang, feeling the blood rush up into her cheeks. Sometimes it was frightening how well Ang knew her. "Omigod, you have thought about it!" "Yeah, so what? We were in the car before you so rudely interrupted us, and he was, ya know, just kind of looking at me. I think he may have if you hadn't come out." "Damn, I'm sorry I didn't wait a few minutes. But you know, if we go out tomorrow night, then maybe?" "I don't know Ang, we'll see." Lexa glanced over at the clock, which read 1:14am. "Look at the time, I gotta get some sleep." "Me too. I'll see you in the morning," Ang said as she headed down the hall to the guestroom and Lexa flipped off her light switch. The Next Day: Nick awoke to the sound of his phone ringing. "Hello," he said groggily into the receiver. "Well, good morning sleeping beauty. Did I wake you?" Nick heard Lexa voice come over the line. 11am. Damn. "Kind of." "Oh, and I sleep to much? What's the matter, did I wear you out yesterday?" Lexa asked teasingly. She was feeling very flirtatious this morning for some reason. 'You have no idea,' Nick thought to himself. "Nah, just trying to catch up on some lost sleep." "Oh, well do you want to go out tonight, show Ang and I some of the hot spots?" "Sure, why not? I think I'll call AJ and see if he's up for it. He's more of the club type than I am." "Cool, so I'll see you tonight, say around 9:00pm, my place." "Yeah, I'll see you then." "Bye" "Bye" 8:40pm "Okay Ang, black pants or black skirt?" Lexa asked, holding up both options. "Pants. The skirt and boots make you look like a common streetwalker." Lexa threw the skirt at Ang. "Well then it will suit you just fine," Lexa said, smiling at Ang, who stuck her tongue out in response. "Okay, how do I look?" Lexa spun around in her black pants and backless silver top. "Gorgeous. How about me?" Ang had on the black skirt and a playboy bunny tee-shirt." "Hot." Lexa said as the doorbell rang. "Hold on," Lexa hollered down the stariwell. She opened the door to Nick in a pair of khaki cargo pants and a black tee-shirt. To his side was AJ, in black pants and white tank with a shirt over top. "Hey guys. Ang is almost ready." She stepped aside to allow them entry, which AJ took advantage of while Nick stood in the doorway with her. Nick moved closer to Lexa and bent down to her ear. "You look amazing," he whispered to her before moving into the livingroom. "Hey, I'm ready now." Ang said, entering the room. AJ emitted a low whistle. "I didn't know you invited 'bunnies'," AJ said, referring to Ang's shirt. "Oh, AJ, this is my cousin Angela, Angela this is AJ," Lexa said, introducing the two. "Well, are we going or not?" Ang asked, walking out the door, AJ close behind. Lexa and Nick soon followed. Taboo(the club) "So do you guys always get the star treatment at these places?" Lexa asked, playing with the straw in her drink. Angela and AJ had already abandonned them for the dance floor, so Nick and Lexa sat in the VIP booth. "Not always, but Howie owns this club. It usually depends on the place." Nick smiled at Lexa, who was staring out at the dance floor. "So, do you wanna dance?" Nick contemplated the thought. He knew he was attracted to Lexa, and wasn't sure if he could keep himself in check being that close. "Uh, maybe later." "Oh, okay," Lexa responded, feeling slightly dejected. 'Maybe what he said earlier didn't mean anything,' Lexa thought to herself. "I'm gonna go get another drink." "I'll get it for you," Nick said, but Lexa had already left. Nick just took another swig of his beer and put his hand to his head. "Here you go ma'am," the bartender said to Lexa as he handed her her drink. "$4 please." Lexa went to reach in her pocket for money, when a strange hand handed over a five dollar bill. "This ones on me." Lexa looked up at the dark haired man in front of her. He was about Nicks height with hazel eyes. "My name's Zach." Lexa wasn't sure of she wanted to just hook up with a random guy, that wasn't her style. 'Do something spontaneous,' Lexa heard Ang's voice ring through her head. 'What the hell?' she thought, it wasn't like she was here on a date. "Lexa, nice to meet you Zach. Thanks for the drink." "Pleasure's all mine. Would you like to dance?" "I would love to." Zach took her hand and walked her out onto the dance floor. Nick looked over the railing for Lexa when he heard "I wanna be bad" come over the speakers. About the same time, he saw Lexa being led out onto the dance floor by some stranger. "Oh Christ, could this night get any better?" Nick asked himself outloud. He felt a light tap on his shoulder. "Excuse me, but are you Nick Carter?" Nick closed his eyes and inhaled deeply before turning around to face the obvious fan. "Hi. What's your name?" "Alicia. Wow, who would've thought the one night I decide to come out that the Nick Carter would be at the same place." Nick sighed, he hated when people put 'the' in front of his name. It made him feel like an object, no longer a person. In spite of this, Nick smiled at the girl. If she didn't speak, she was actually kind of pretty. Shoulder-length blond hair, blue eyes, nice figure. "Say, would you like to dance?" If Lexa could pick up a random guy, he could get himself some company. "Who me?" She asked, looking around to make sure no one else was around. "I'd love to." "Let's go then." Nick took her hand and led her down to the floor. Chapter 8 Home |
