America's Sweetheart

16- Ice skating

Ally's P.O.V.

We all went into town today. The boys went one way and us girls went the other.

I wanted something warm to drink before we went ice skating, so we're all standing in line at a coffee shop/bakery named 'Reds'. The girls; even the mom's, are grilling me again about Nic. "So you're telling me, nothing happened between you and Nic?"

"Oh my God, Mads. You're so annoying."

"We all saw the pictures of him holding your hand going into the club and the one where you're laying into his chest. I don't know why you're being so secretive."

"I'm not saying anything happened, but if it did... have you met Asher? I mean seriously Mads." I looked at the person taking orders, "I'll have the peppermint hot chocolate, I'll buy their stuff also."

Charlotte and Madelyn ordered and stood next to me, "If you guys shut up in front of everyone else, I'll tell you everything later."

"I knew it!" Madelyn gloated.

Charlotte gave me a hug, "Holy shit, I'm so excited."

"I haven't even told you anything yet. For all you know nothing even happened and I'm just screwing with you."

"One does not glow like you are if nothing happened."

"Whatever."

I tried paying but Evelyn wouldn't let me. We grabbed our drinks and met back up with the guys.

"Hey. So Nic just sent me a message, he was able to catch an earlier flight. He will be here in about thirty minutes." Asher informed us.

"Really?" Evelyn said, excitedly

"Yeah, so Dad and Jon left, they're going to meet Nic at the cabin and then meet all of us at the skating area after he unloads his luggage.

Nic's P.O.V.

The cabin was beautiful, I was able to catch an earlier flight that had one less layover, getting me here in record time.

Dad and Mike helped me carry my luggage in.

"Do you just want to stay here and rest after your flight or do you want to come skating with us? We probably won't be there too long." Dad asked.

"I'll come, I'd rather go to bed earlier tonight and if I stay here I'll fall asleep." Plus I wanted nothing more than to see Ally as soon as possible. Chasing her around the ice sounded like a good time.

Pulling up to the lake, we got out and walked towards the ice. I found her standing there watching the others skate.

Asher skated up to her, losing his balance. The sound of her laughing at Asher laying flat on his ass made my heart beat faster.

I put my skates on and made my way over to everyone.

"Nic, sweetheart." Mom and Clara both gave me a hug. I looked over and noticed Ally looking at me.

All three of us went up by Ally, who was still trying to help Asher up. "Oh my God, you big fatty... stop trying to help me, help you up."

They both started laughing again. "Asher, stop! You're making this worse."

"Let me help." I put my hands on her lower back and we both grabbed a hold of one hand, pulling him up.

I turned and looked at her again, "Hey, Star."

"Hey butthead." I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her into a hug. God, she smells amazing.

I looked over at Asher and my smile faded, "What the hell happened to your eye?"
