I really had no reason to stay. What were me and Nick? Nothing. Sure we were getting to know each other but I would be gone tomorrow, he'd forget about me and all this... everything we've done in the few hours I've been with him would mean nothing.

When I reached his dressing room again I was honestly considering just walking out back to my hotel but when I opened the door I saw Danielle there waiting for me. She automatically smiles at the sight of me and then I notice she had a box in her hands.

"Hey" she stands "I got you a little something for tonight"

She hands me the box and hugs me.

"Thank you...."

I set it down on the vanity and remove the lid revealing a teal peplum dress with glittery pumps to match. I gasp, it was beautiful.

"Nicks going to love it on you" she says from behind me

"There was no need for you to get me this" I begin

"Technically I did get it but..." she hesitates "Nick told me yesterday to get you something from him"

"Why would he do that?"

"How can I say this, the little time I've known him I've learned that he's very into detail and secretive more than anything"

Secretive. Is that why he was weird about people seeing us?

"I'm right, aren't I" she smiles

"Yeah" I answer

"Well" she wraps me into a hug again "just in case I don't see you again, have a nice flight and I'll see you soon girly"

"Same, and thanks for everything. I needed a girlfriend more than anything right now and you've been a real support for me"

"Anytime"

She leaves and I'm still standing looking at the dress. I guess I'd wear it for the night. It was just about to turn to three; this would be another long day.

Nick would come in and out to dress into a new outfit and he would smile every time he saw I was still there waiting. Soon the show ended around four thirty or so and Nick didn't come into the dressing room alone this time, instead there was wardrobe people taking his clothes off and taking it somewhere else. Nick was left in his wife beater that showed off his fit body and sweat pants.

"Good show?"

"Very good" he smiled walking over to the couch I sat at.

"That's great..."

"You know I was thinking I'd go visit you down in Texas after I'm done with all this"

His words caught me off guard and my mouth dropped. He began to laugh.

"and when would this be?" I ask

"Three weeks from now"

It seemed so far away.

"Sounds perfect" I say "Just don't forget about me."

"I won't"

His words hung for a while till I looked down and changed the subject to something else. The evening went by fast and soon enough it was time for another show. Before he got ready I went to put on the dress Danielle had bought over earlier and went to borrow a stylist's curler to do some waves in my hair. When I made my way back to Nick all he could do was stare at me.

"Beautiful" he simply said

I walked him over to the side of the stage and held his hand giving him a kiss on the cheek before he went out on stage again. I took a picture from where I stood of him on stage and posted it on Twitter saying "watching this guy perform is breath taking", again dropping hints didn't hurt anybody. This show ended quicker for some reason and I was glad it did, compared to yesterday I had spent no time with Nick at all. I wanted him all to myself. He came into the room and put on beige button up, slacks and a blazer, formal yet semi-formal at the same time.
