Chapter 5

“Yo Nick, what’s up?” Shelly said walking to her hotel room after her day of shopping with Angel and Cindy.

“Oh…hi Shel, listen can I talk to you in private for a second?” Nick asked.

“Sure, what about?” Shelly said opening up her door for Nick.

“Just about something that has been on my mind for a while now and I just wanna let you know that I’m falling for you.” Nick took as breath as a sigh of relief.

“Nick, thank god. You made this so much easier.” Nick just stared at Shelly.

“I have the same feeling for you”

“You do. This is so…wow…” Nick said lost for words.

“Nick if it’s ok with you, I would like to be your girlfriend.”

“Of course it is ok with me Shel. Come here.” Nick said pulling her in for a hug but got a kiss instead. “I like this even more then the hug.” Nick said breaking away from the kiss but then returning.

“AJ, come here please.” Cindy called into the bathroom of her and AJ’s hotel room.

“Yes baby.” AJ greeted her as he put his arms around her.

“What do you think if this?” Cindy said taking out a purple hat from one of her shopping bag.

“Hon, this hat is wicked. I love it like I love you.” AJ said kissing her passionately.

“Good.” Cindy said taking his hand and pulling him on to their bed.

THE NEXT DAY…

“Come on guys.” Tina, the guys road manager, yelled on the floor where all the guys where staying.

“Calm down Tina, we’re coming.” Brian said taking out his duffel bag and walking to the elevator.

“Come on guys.” Brian said passing AJ and Cindy’s room on the way to the elevator.

“Everyone here.” Tina said as she looked around making sure everyone was on the bus.

“Let’s go.” Tina said falling in the passengers seat in the front of the bus.

“Nick you wanna play.” Aaron asked holding up the remote controller to his playstation.

“No thanks bro.” Nick said taking Shelly’s hand and pulling her into the back of the bus to the bunks. “So, Shel just wondering. Why did you wait so long to tell me how you felt about us?” Nick asked as he pulled her into his bunk to talk.

“Well, I didn’t want to wreak our relationship. I wanted to stay friends but I couldn’t help but have a crush on you. Why did you wait so long little Nicky?” Shelly said pinching his cheek.

“Well first of all, I’m not little and don’t pinch me on the cheek. Second of all, the reason I waited so long to tell you is because I could never get up enough courage to tell you and I never really got the boast I needed to tell you until I yesterday.”

“Well Nicky, I’m glad you finally got enough courage to finally tell me how you feel.” Shelly said pulling him into a kiss.

“Hey now.” AJ said opening up Nick’s curtain. “I found him sucking face with Shel.” AJ yelled so that the whole world could hear.

“Oh shut up AJ.” Shelly said pushing him away and closing the curtain and then returning to their kiss.
