�You have to be fucking kidding me,� Dakota said. �This is a nightmare. You did this on purpose. You know I fucking hate you.� Everyone looked.
�I don�t understand why.�
�Typical blonde.�
�Kota, maybe ya shouldn�t do this here,� Nickolas suggested.
�Why?� Dakota asked. �Don�t ya want everyone to know that she�s nothing, but a two bit tramp?�
�At least Nick�s not the only guy I was ever with,� Tiffany said and Dakota shook her head.
�It�s called morals,� Dakota said. �Something you lack. And at least I didn�t have to stalk him to conquer him.�
�I don�t see what you�re so angry about. It was, like, three months ago.�
�I gave my heart and soul to Nickolas and I come home to find him on our parlor sofa with you�banging away. You took him from me and ruined our future. And not only that though, but you killed my babies.� Nickolas looked at her. �The babies Nicky and I were going to have. I hope you�re proud of yourself.�
�I�m sorry, but Nick was there also.�
�I already had my bit with him and now it�s your turn.�
�You�re just jealous, because Nick prefers me over you.�
�You�re pathetic.� Dakota gave a disgusted sigh and shook her head. �Nick doesn�t love you and never will.� Nickolas looked at Dakota and grinned. �And he doesn�t love me and never will.� Nickolas got serious again and looked at her. �Nick doesn�t love anyone, but Nickolas. He just uses women and then breaks their heart. It took me three years to figure that out. You�re just dreaming if you think he�ll actually love you.�
�You�re angry because Nick picked me.�
�I picked DJ,� Nickolas stated.
�But you told me you loved me,� Tiffany said.
�And he told me he loved me,� Dakota said. �It meant nothing.� The two girls glared at each other. �The only reason you�re doing this movie is to piss me off. How did you get the part anyway? Did you use Nick�s celebrity to get it? Ya had to, because the casting crew was female. Who would you have slept with?� Tiffany slapped her across the face. Dakota just stood there and grinned. �I could hit you in return, but I�m not going to.�
�Too scared?�
�No, because I�m not as pathetic as you.�
�Really?� Dakota nodded.
�I�ll just wait until the cameras are rolling.� Tiffany rolled her eyes. �I do have all this anger inside me towards you, but kicking your ass right here and now would be a waste of my time when I can do it on camera.� She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. �Seeing the two of you here and standing side by side makes me sick. I just want to vomit.� Nickolas moved away from Tiffany. �So, Tiffany, how long did it take you to get my boyfriend into bed? A few weeks? A couple months? Hell a few hours maybe?� Tiffany just looked at her. �Where�d ya go? Nick�s place? Was it our bed? Nick had to wait over a year to get me into his bed and with you it only took a couple hours.� Nickolas wanted to say something, but had no idea what so not to upset her. �I can�t believe how stupid I was. When Nick and I fucked in that same bed I actually thought it was something special. I believed it was love we made; we even created two babies together. But then that whole time he was fucking you in that same bed and I was blind to see that.�
�Deej, maybe we should do this in private,� Nickolas suggested and she looked at him. They just looked at each other and he looked at her with his gorgeous blue eyes she loved so much. She looked deep into them and he looked deep into hers. His eyes were still so peaceful and loving and there was some forgiveness inside her towards him. Each time she looked into his eyes she could see their future. This time was no different either. Although she hated him for hurting her she still wanted that future she saw with him. She hated herself for it too. Even that day she found them together she saw that same look and she hated him for making her feel this way.
Nickolas always loved Dakota�s eyes. That first moment they looked at each other he fell in love with her eyes. They were so sweet, so beautiful, so pure, and so innocent; just like they were now. Every bad day he had she�d just look at him with those eyes and he knew things would be fine. With every fight they had that look would never change. It was still there when she caught him in his betrayal; the biggest mistake of his life. Although she was angry and hurt those eyes never showed it. They weren�t even showing it now. They should though so he knew what an ass he really was. She just looked at him with those eyes and he saw that loving look towards him. But how could she still possibly love him after what he did to her? He didn�t even love himself. He loved Dakota, but he hurt her and knew that wouldn�t make things right. He just wanted to be with her and explain everything.
�Hey, DJ,� Orlando said. �James is ready.�
�I�ll be right there,� Dakota said looking away from Nickolas. �Orli, this is Nick Carter. Nick, this is Orlando Bloom. Orlando is playing �Niko�.�
�Hi,� Nickolas said, as the two guys shook hands.
�Hey,� Orlando said.
�We�re going to have to do this some other time, Nick,� Dakota said walking away and Nickolas stopped her.
She looked at him and he said, �Can we get together sometime?� She sighed.
�I don�t know,� Dakota said and walked away. Nickolas just stood there and noticed Tiffany looking at him.
�What?� Nickolas asked.
�We can get together later,� Tiffany said smiling.
�I�ve spent all the time I�m going to with you.�
�Then why are you here?�
�For DJ.�
�You want me to believe that?�
�It�s the truth.�
�Since when do you tell the truth?� He glared at her. �Why do you love her so much?�
�Because out of all the girls I�ve known, DJ was and is the only one that loves me for me and not because of my celebrity. She�s put up with my shit for the past three years when everyone else would�ve walked away. She�s the only one that hasn�t given up on me, on us, when things got tough. I love Dakota, because she�s not afraid to let people know how she feels and I love her, because she�s everything I want in a girl and she�s not you.�
�I think she�s pathetic.�
�Well I think she�s pretty terrific.�
�Then why�d ya cheat?� He just looked at her.
�Hey, Nick,� MyKenna said and he looked to see her and Aaron.
�Hey,� Nickolas said.
�What are you doing here?� Aaron asked.
�He came to see me,� Tiffany lied.
�And the Pope�s my uncle,� Nickolas said sarcastically.
�And you would be?� MyKenna questioned. �A two bit tramp?�
�Tiffany Sanchez,� Tiffany said.
�Thee Tiffany?� Aaron asked and she smiled.
�A two bit tramp,� MyKenna repeated.
�Tiffany!� James yelled. �We�re ready!� Tiffany grinned and went to walk away, as Nickolas grabbed her arm. She looked at him and smiled.
�You hit Dakota again you�ll be sorry,� Nickolas warned and left her go. He glared at her and she walked away.
�This is going to be interesting,� Aaron said, as they looked at Nickolas, as he watched Dakota.
�What are the odds of Kota working alongside the one person she hates most?� Nickolas asked. �Especially when they have scenes beating the crap out of each other.�
�At least there�s Orlando to make up for it,� MyKenna said and Nickolas looked at her. �What?� He shook his head and sighed. He looked back at Dakota, as the cast took their places.
�I�ve never went to any of her sets,� Nickolas stated. �I never watched her work. She�d always come and watch me, but I never took the time to watch her. I know she�s great at what she does, but I�ve never seen her do it.�
�Do you think that really matters?� Aaron asked. �She went and watched you because she loves you. I don�t think she really cared if you watched her or not. She knew you loved her although you weren�t there. Or at least she thought you did.�
�I do love DJ, Aaron,� Nickolas said. �I really messed up and I�m working on making things right with her.�
�Quiet please!� James yelled. �And action!�
